This week's releases:

Dang, doesn't seem like the US gets the Pushmo World discount for owning one of the 3DS games.

Of course not. NOA has NEVER given us a discount on any cross buy or promotion. Meanwhile EU and Japan constantly gets cross buy promotions, buy Pikmin; get discount on Wonderful 101 or whatever it was, etc. Zero zip nadda.

I don't think we've gotten a cross-buy promotion, but we've certainly gotten other promotions. Mostly series discounts on VC games if you buy more than one.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Didn't you get the Fire Emblem x SMT 4 Deal last year? I would be glad if we in Europe at least would have gotten the game lol.

I stand corrected...oh well. I guess I just want more; it's frustrating to see promotions in other regions not hit here. Does Nintendo think we don't know what other regions get?

Grass is always greener. That deal was crap by the way. Buy Pikmin 3 for £40 to get W101 for £28. Or, you could just buy the download codes from GAME for both for £30 each and play Pikmin 3 days early too because the clowns at NOE forgot to turn the downloads off (it was still live from review copies).

Well you know Nintendo is the only console manufacturer still insisting on region locking their hardware, they know that we know, but won't adjust their business strategy this generation.

As much as I loved the original Pushmo, I'm not buying Pushmo World if there's no discount. It's essentailly being sold at a 43% markup over the Japanese and European versions. NoA needs to get their shit together and pay attention to what the other branches are doing.

Wish I had your resolve, lol. I would probably buy this game even if it were $30.

I hate NoA but I love Pushmo more ;_;

I would like to see your working out. $10 is roughly €7.40 so from that perspective the 30% is needed to stand toe-to-toe.

Also, did you complain about how NES remix was $15 in America but only €10 in Europe and boycott those games? That is a much bigger scandal there...

With the discount, our price is about the same as your price.

Nintendo just gave me a free copy of Windwaker for buying Mario Kart 8.

That was appreciated. :p

Yeah, it seems like support has shifted although outside PCE the platforms available seem pretty well covered for the most part.

I think the only real exception is Square Enix who hasn't bothered with their GB/GBC library yet for some reason.

I suppose you're right, 7 Euro = $9.54. But Nintendo's pricing usually treats $1 = €1 = ¥100

I didn't know NES remix was cheaper in Europe, but I never really considered buying it anyway.

Another World - 20th Anniversary?!

Did this come out of nowhere or what?
Click to expand...

You mean the game or the console release? Game's been out for quite a while now on PC. Console ports came more or less out of nowhere in terms of release date. I think it was announced only a few days ago.

So Armillo is coming on the 3rd of July.

After 3.5 years of development, team Fuzzy is extremely excited to announce Armillo is finally ready for you to experience July 3, 2014! With a special 3-week introductory price, you and your friends have all the more reason to snap up this lil’ Indie gem.

So prep your Wii U for a visit to the Nintendo eShop because this download-only title is primed to be this summer’s runaway hit!

This Fourth of July weekend you will be rolling (Armillo is an armadillo, after all ...eh?), bouncing, jumping, smashing, platforming and generally having the time of your life travelling through Armillo’s universe.

Available on:
Wii U (Download Only)



July 3, 2014
Europe and Americas



Introductory Price
US $6.00 / € 4.50

Regular Price
US $8.00 / € 6.00

Pushmo, Shovel Knight, Armillo, Another World and Guacamelee all in the span of a few weeks? If some of that Capcom VC stuff drops in the next couple a months as well, the summer months seem to be surprisingly packed.

Now, about TG16 support, Nintendo...

when i logged in to download Pushmo, i was like "where's my discount?"

it wasn't long until "LOL NoA" popped in my mind.

i'm so mad at these idiots. i might invest in learning japanese and importing from japan for next gen since this bull is annoying.

That won't really help you, since only Europe got the Pushmo World discount. Japan got the same thing as NA, a discount on Pushmo/Crashmo.

NOA is really the worst Nintendo region management and marketing wise. Reggie strikes me as a very bland, conservative styled manager at times (it's doubtful Earthbound would have been released here if it weren't for Iwata and Itoi taking notice and actively aknowledging the Miiverse campaign). I'm guessing no cross buy discounts and things like EU getting a choice of ten games for the MK 8 promo vs only 4 choices for the U.S. is his doing.
