Nintendo Power: NoA a step ahead again; Mother 3 to reach the US in June already

Freaking finally.

Day 1 [3 years later]!

Nintendo Power: NoA a step ahead again; Mother 3 to reach the US in June already

;___;

 

[Spike]

Nice, this will go nicely with my Cube version. Now, how about that 2nd DS Fire Emblem game please?

 

[Deleted member 284]

i should sell my gc copy while it's worth something.

Heh. Good move. I've been waiting (blindly) for this. Between this, Xenoblade,Fatal Frame and The Last Story things are looking Xbo.....er good.

Now let's see if NOA is just crazy and does a private/limited release of Disaster, Doshin NPC or dare I say it…NPC Wind Waker.

 

[Wiz]

Baby steps guys.

 

[Boney]

Maybe we'll get the HD compilation after 2 years NOE gets it.

I never played the second one, pikmin fans, which is the better of the two?

I think 2 is better because the team had a better grasp of what works and what not, but the caves and no more time limit really hurt the game. It's definately a great game though.

 

[Lambtron]

Huh. I didn't expect this. I am pleasantly surprised. Bought.

Those two exact points are what a lot of 2 fans would point to when they said why 2 was better than 1. Shrug.

 

[18-Volt]

NoA, Can I have NPC Chibi Robo too? Please? Pretty please?

 

[Aeana]

I'm feeling smothered by all of the upcoming Nintendo releases.

 

[ffdgh]

you're very late noa...

 

[MasterShotgun]

Better

Spoiler

really fucking

late than never. I really ought to pick this up since I never got the GC version.

 

[Speevy]

Pikmin's main appeal is the time limit, which may or may not be your cup of tea.


In every other area, from enemy types to gameplay variety to graphics and extras, Pikmin 2 flattens its predecessor.

 

[mollipen]

When taking all factors into consideration (library, resources, marketshare, consumer base, so on and so on), I seriously cannot think of a publisher that I personally find more useless than Nintendo of America.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

It should be interesting to see what Nintendo releases for the Wii's big holiday title. I know they have Kirby's collection, but what else? Maybe a localization of Disaster...... :lol yeah right.

 

[tim1138]

This, a million times this.

this is boney you're responding to.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Well, it's never too late to enjoy the best game Nintendo released last generation.

That's still more fun and unique than alot of what's coming out this month that's brand new.

 

[Boney]

and they'd be wrong!

You would think Nintendo would try to keep the Wii alive for another holiday season, wouldn't you? That makes total sense.

I think we'll be lucky if we get some new Nintendo Selects.

 

[WillyFive]

Nintendo of America is genuinely hilarious at this point.

 

[BD1]

Here we go. NoA's strategy to fill all the dead space between now and Wii U is going to be to bring all the games it ignored on the first go around to the states. Disaster: DoC is coming, I can feel it!

That being said, I will pick this up.

 

[Agent Unknown]

Better late than never and as said before it may be another good sign for getting Pikmin 3 within the coming year.

 

[Heropon]

I'm impressed at NOA's efficiency, congratulations. I didn't have a GC, but thanks to this release I could enjoy this game three years ago.

 

[LSauchelli]

Chances of getting Disaster Day of Crisis this summer : +1

I always thought that DoC is easily the most american-friendly game out there, hell it's a lot like 24 in a weird way. Never understood why NoA didn't release it.

 

[dancrane212]

I was just thinking of picking up my NPC of the first game, perfect timing.

 

[KevinCow]

Come on, NoA, Chibi-Robo next.

 

[Rocket Punch]

Earthbound Anniversary Collection is next u guys!!!!!!!!

 

[ActStriker]

:lol

Better late than never I suppose

 

[Haunted]

come the fuck on NoA

 

[1-D_FTW]

LOL

It's like "Boy, we should probably release something. Oh, look what I found in the dumpster!"

More like, "Oh, shit. We've got a new Pikmin coming out for WiiU?"

*Reggie runs to to the dumpster*

*Reggie emerges from the dumpster covered in shit*

"Look what I found. Let's build some brand awareness, boys and girls."

 

[WiiRevolution1]

NPC Pikmin 2? In June?(Thats really cutting it close...) FUCK YEA! I wanted to play this before Pikmin 3 and seriously considered paying $70 for a used GameCube copy with stupid controls. (At least fo me)

Thank you NOA! THANK YOU!!!'

 

[YuriLowell]

This took fucking long enough.

 

[Struct09]

Better late than never I guess!

 

[Rehynn]

I honestly thought this was a bumped thread.

Interestingly enought, I picked up a brand new copy of NPC Pikmin 2 for about $14 earlier today.

 

[Criminal Upper]

While I love Disaster, it's really not a very good game at all.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

I've actually yet to play this game, although I absolutely adored the first one.

I'll probably bite.

 

[Somnid]

Awesome troll. Might pick up, Pikmin 2 is fantastic.

 

[jooey]

While I love Disaster, it's really not a very good game at all.

BUT YOU SAID YOU LOVE IT SO I WILL LOVE IT TOO BECAUSE IT IS MADE BY NINTENDO SIGN MY PETITION

 

[Vanille]

Yeah, no thanks NoA. I'm just going to hold out for a HD collection at this point.

 

[KevinCow]

NPC Pikmin 2? In June?(Thats really cutting it close...)

I'm assuming June because they're announcing Pikmin 3 at E3 in early June.

Maybe that was the plan all along. They knew Pikmin 3 was coming, so they were waiting to make the announcement so they could put out NPC Pikmin 2 shortly thereafter to ride off of the hype. But then Pikmin 3 kept changing and eventually got pushed to Wii U, and now here we are.

 

[VeryGooster]

NoA is too good to us.

 

[Harpuia]

Cool, ever since my brother smashed my copy of Pikmin 2, I've been hoping this would actually happen.

 

[BurntPork]

Cool.

Is NPC Pikmin 1 expensive or hard to find?

This makes the most sense.

Not only that, but Reggie shit all over it in a couple interviews.

Cool.

I think its only like $25 on Amazon, actually.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Is NPC Pikmin 1 expensive or hard to find?

Not at all.

You know, I think I will buy this if it's $30 or lower.

 

[Diddy Kong]

About damn time.

 

[MichaelEM3]

Awesome!!!

And here I thought they had no intention to bring this over. Great news.
