Paper Mario seems to be getting generally favorable reviews from what I have seen. Anyone picking it up? The day I buy that paper Mario is the day I bury my thousand year old door disk

Mega Man X2 is out for the 3DS Virtual Console. Mario vs Donkey Kong: March of the Minis is the Wii U VC release this week as well.

Paper Mario seems to be getting generally favorable reviews from what I have seen. Anyone picking it up? I preordered it and I've been having an awesome time with it. The humor is great and I actually like the combat system, but like NintendoLife said, it's not super combat focused. It's more puzzle/exploring focused. So if you go into this thinking it'll be more like an adventure game than an RPG, you'll like it. But seriously, the humor is great in this game. I love the little paint can, Huey. He makes some hilarious comments during the game.

bumping again... I love they snuck the Jimmy Hart version of the Godzilla theme in for one of the thing moves Also the toad running in with something along the lines of Princess Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser. NO ONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS!

So, not only am I looking forward to Yo-Kai Watch 3, there's a third game being released for that version; Sukiyaki. Shoot... I may have to buy a Japanese 3DS to play that game. I can't wait another year!

God, I hope the NX isn't region locked. I fully expect for it to be, just to hopefully piss me off less, but if Iwata's successor wants to do something big to differentiate himself, that'd be a massive step in the right direction.

The fact that the 3DS is still region locked should tell you something.

Oh NX is totally going to be region locked. Wii, 3DS, and Wii U have all been region locked.

I did say it probably would, but all of them were Iwata, and he was in favor of region locking. NX very likely would be, but the way things are isn't the way they always will be. Wasn't the PS3 region locked? Also worth mentioning is that Amiibo, if I recall, are not region locked, so it's not like every single thing Nintendo makes is. Just... the vast majority.

Well, Amiibos don't have to deal with the BS that goes behind the scenes, since Nintendo wants them to just work, and inputting some sort of region locking in there would just add unnecessary cost on something they make money hand over fist.
Games, on the other hand, may be a question of regional pricing and policies (like the European games that need more than just English, the "CENZORSHEEEP~!" that American users always complain about (despite having the only Wii version of No More Heroes with blood in it), IP ownership in regions where the game might end up, contracts with major local distributors, etc.) that drive the company to put that. Especially since Nintendo only has it's franchises and videogames as their breadwinners (unlike Sony and MS which have various others), they can't leverage, with the distributors mainly, other stuff so they need to offer them some sort of guarantee that the customer, when buying Nintendo products will buy them there instead of ordering from a cheaper region. Kinda like what happened in Steam when there was those massive buys and gifts from the Phillipines.

I may have to buy a Japanese 3DS to play that game. :D I can't wait another year! Yokai Watch 3 is so awesome. Inaho is my favorite and her humor is amazing. I might download Sukiyaki to get the special USApyon. I'm also gonna try to snag a Tomnyan plushie when I go to the Yokai Watch store in a couple of weeks.

Did You Know Gaming's video on Satoru Iwata was really moving, particularly with the Earthbound music playing in the background. Also really adds to how tragic it is that he couldn't get back to programming like he wanted to do, since the guy sounded like an absolute maestro at it.

They've announced the NX will be shown off at 10 ET tomorrow. Way, way, WAY overdue.
Just hoping they have a hard sell planned. It's going to take a lot to get me to buy one at launch.

A preview to wet our appetites, I see.
Also, Mario was caught off guard himself there by the announcement. He and Peach were about to enjoy some...cake.
