I'm assuming there'll be unlockable characters that they'll keep secret, but I've never really followed any previous Mario Kart launches, so I can't be certain.

It's supposed to have the biggest roster yet (I think the previous holder of that title was MK Wii), so there are a few left.

I just found out that you can't download any of the GBA pokemon games on the 3DS eshop..

Now that sucks. I really don't get that. They'd make a lot of cash, because lots of people would buy those games to have them downloaded on their 3DS. I hope it's coming in the future, otherwise it's pretty stupid.

Too early for that. They'll want as many people buying X & Y as possible.

There's also rumours of there being 3DS remakes of Gen III (like FireRed/Leaf Green on GBA, HeartGold/SoulSilver on DS).

So you think they will bring those games to the store eventually? You think it would make sense for them to do that.

That'd be a cool remake of Ruby/Sapphire.

Nintendo already released some GBA games for virtual console on 3DS, but only if you were part of the 3DS ambassador program, and they mentioned that they would be bringing no other GBA games to the system. It really frigging sucks honestly, especially seeing as they've confirmed they are bringing GBA games to the wii U's VC.

Edit: What the hell happened there? why did it post my post 3 times?

They're not bringing anymore GBA games to the 3DS?

Wow wtf is their problem, it's literally a money making machine

put up the classic GBA pokemon games

you'll sell loads, and people will get the console especially for that.

I get the feeling that's why their bringing them to the wii U and not the 3DS, just in hopes that'll it'll encourage people to buy the wii U, which would be stupid seeing as it would be cheaper to buy a second hand GBA and games, their not exactly rare after all.
Currently the only consoles that 3DS' VC features games from are the NES, The gameboy, the gameboy color and the sega game gear, but even then, no old Pokemon games, not even spin offs.

Mario Golf: World Tour is going to be getting a DLC program of sorts:

And I think this means we'll get to see Rosalina in a sports outfit, heheheh.... <3

That makes business sense I guess. Although in Pokemon X & Y you can pretty much catch anything

Nintendo should at least let Ambassador games for normal purchase. I never got them despite buying 3DS before price cut. And their customer support was not helpful at all.

The DLC for World Tour looks great! And it's at a reasonable price for the Season Pass. Looking forward to play as Nabbit.

meh, I've never been much interested in the mario golf franchise, but it would be a good time to release the next installment I suppose. Have fun with the game Brad :)

Well, turns out they didn't give Rosalina a sports outfit like I thought they would. Levitating the club is pretty cool though! I also like how Nabbit holds it in one hand, and how his Hole in One animation is to basically run through and entire level of New Super Luigi U.

But now they have yet another Mario clone with Gold Mario. I get that he's for wracking up lots of coins, but still...

Well it sounds like the original pokemon games will come to the Wii U just to boost sales. I guess that is a smart business move.

It's a good thing that these prices aren't limited! The games that are lowered include MK7, SM3DL, Animal Crossing, NSMB2, and DKCR.

Also Kirby Triple Deluxe is coming out Saturday! Whoop! Whoop!
