Because Super Probotector is in 50Hz and we European deserve the real 60Hz version.

If you really want to play the laughable 50hz version, it's probably already on the Wii's shop as Super Probotector.
It's funny though Contra 4 had the probotector sprites as unlockable but never released here
It is there.
It is there.

Wayforward specifically included them just for us Europeans too...damn you Konami...
I can understand most of those being sports games, unsupported features (F1 Race is 4 player...given 2 player doesn't work for GB games...) or rights issues (Yoshi Cookie) but Solar Striker, that omission baffles me.
Then that means it's not out in the French and German eShops. It's certainly not in the former.

Not actually that important
I doubt it, but it's not like I'll be able to check : everything's in English on my system (and more importantly : I don't plan on buying this
)By the way, I believe a 3DS version for Kung-Fu Rabbit was confirmed a while ago, right?

Yumi's Odd Odyssey is still scheduled for January, right? Why don't we have an exact date yet?
Tiny Cartridge talked about it in its last podcast. It is scheduled for January, but no one really believes it.

Gotcha. Adjusting my expectations then.
Maybe this franchise is really cursed to never make it to North America, lol. I remember Natsume intending to port the PSP game: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=327123

Since there isn't really a Wii U mega thread...
How are the updated Wii Sports titles? I discovered that I have just over $30 on my account and was thinking of grabbing Bowling.

They're a little simplistic, but if you want more Wii Sports, then this'll be exactly that, just online. The region-based rankings are pretty cool too. I think $50 is a lot to ask for all five, but on the other hand the fact they're being sold individually means you can just buy the one or two you like most and will probably get your money's worth.
Also there should still be a 24 hour free trial available which gives you access to Tennis, Bowling, and Golf.
I only tried Tennis and Bowling but if you really liked Wii Sports (Resort) I think you can't go wrong with it. For more competent opinions on the game there is a Wii Sports Club OT: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=706355
Edit: Also, what Zeer0id said: you can use the 24 hour free trial to try all 3 sports and each time a new sport is added you will get another 24 hour free trial for all sports.

A lot of people consider it one of the best Picross games, but I don't know why yet. I haven't grabbed it myself...But that's mostly because I have a hard time doing Picross puzzles in a virtual environment. I own 3 or 4 Nishio books to get my Picross/Nonogram fix. I make too many notes while I work, and unless Mario Picross doesn't penalize you for wrong entries (for working out recursive solutions), I won't bite.
it's not that we don't believe it's coming out in January; it's that we can't believe the game is actually coming out at all -- we've had our hearts broken on Umihara Kawase coming to the states before, and we won't rest easy until it's actually in our possession.
Hmmm. Think I'll pick it up. I could use a solid puzzle game to break up the many RPGs on my 3DS.

Do you have any of the Picross e titles? My favorite is Picross e3 because of the Mega Picross bonus puzzles. Be warned that some people don't care for the Mega variation.
It does, you're on a timer and the penalty stacks. iirc the first is 2:00, then 4:00, then 8:00 and they stay at 8:00. You get 30:00 per puzzle, I think?
But you're also on VC with save stating, if failing puzzles is an issue. It's a pretty fun game, but I'm partial to the Picross e games tbh.
Nope. The only Picross game I've played previously is Picross DS.
I want ALTTP damn it! I refuse to start ALBW until then.

What if NOA is holding these back because they plan to release the GBA ports of both instead? :O
This will never happen
What is the purpose of this? Do you actively want to be tired of the world?
It -is- getting to the point where I could entertain the idea that they're saving them for something special.
Then, precedents of Nintendo's VC handling infest my mind, and I'm forced to concede it's but another case of PleaseUnderstand.
To experience the whole story, start to finish.
There is no continuous story. The stories of the two games aren't related or even vaguely tied together. They just happen to take place in the same location.

I have all 3 Picross e games plus Mario Picross. I haven't played the Mario one yet because I prefer to use the stylus. Picross e2 is my least favorite because of Micross which is a series of small puzzles that you complete to form a big picture. I found those puzzles were too easy and a waste of time.
e3 is my favorite. I spent 30 hours on it completing all of the puzzles.
I also recommend Picross 3D which is the 3D version. It has 360 puzzles and you can download another 300-400 more. I'm currently playing the bonus puzzles now.
Mario Picross might have been good in the GB era, but it's not up to snuff if you work above a certain speed. I think it just polls for input really infrequently. Time and time again I found myself making mistakes not because I didn't know what square to uncover, but because the game hadn't registered my directional input and put the cursor in the right place. Ugh.
I don't know if that's the way it originally was or if it's a fault of the emulation, but it was sure frustrating having to remind myself to slow down so I could finish all the puzzles without errors. I wish I'd gotten Lost Levels instead. (I don't have enough coins for it now unless I blow a bunch of eShop credit.)

There is no other explanation for SMB3 still not being here other than NOA wanting to troll fans.
I don't think there are email alert options for new surveys. I've missed out on a number of post-plays before.God fucking dammit I never got an email from Club Nintendo (do they even send you one?), so I forgot to answer the Zelda Survey and I lost 40 coins.
Damn...
I see nothing wrong with wanting to play ALTTP before ALBW. Let him play the way he wants to.

So no SMB3 today for NA? Guess Nintendo doesn't want my money.
From Nintendo's Press Site:
FINALLY, they mention sales....even if it's the Atlus games that've been on sale a few times already.
This is weird... weren't they (SMB3 and ALTTP) suppose to come out last month?
"More than 30 percent off" isn't exactly a very helpful description.

That's what I I thought especially since SMB3 has had the coming soon notice up for a long time. Why can't Nintendo just release the same games to all regions at the same time?
CHIBI-ROBO.
Okay, Chibi-Robo lite maybe, but still. It's only ten bucks!
Here's the thread we've been talking about it in: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=736558
I was already pissed off at the lack of VC titles on the Wii U before I bought one. Now that I have one, I'm just really sad about it. Sad and disappointed.
It's crazy that I had 42 Wii VC titles, and only 10 of them are there on the Wii U. And then you see that they can't actually manage to release a ROM of SMB3 on time and you just despair. Couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery, this lot.
It's in these 'drought months' that you'd expect them to release titles, too. That's when people have nothing to buy.
At least we got Earthbound
Nice sales there, though. Pity my DS is European.

Is this even anything like the Gamecube one (only one I played)? What they showed made it seem more like some kind of AR game.
