"Master, there is a 98.7% chance that this is sexual harassment, and I don't have to take it."

Yeah, that's what I mean by tabs.

I'm betting March for North America, April for Europe.

The card slot being at the front is going to confuse me. It'll also be interesting to see if they're going to use a longer tab for n3DS exclusive games like Xenoblade 3DS, or maybe a tab on each side, to stop them being used on 3DS units that can't run them.

Does it have Virtual-On too? Be it Operation Moongate or Oratorio Tangram? If so, that's a damn fine arcade.

MECHANICAL SELECT!

Glad to see the Rival Schools and Tech Romancer love right off the bat.

Ultra. Ultra 3DS. Get that U naming convention going. And then bring Super Mario 64 to it with C-stick camera controls for Ultra Super Mario 64 3DS. ...

I've been thinking on which model I want to pick up when it comes out in Europe, and I'm really feeling it towards the n3DS over the n3DSXL. The face plates and the Super Famicom/PAL SNES coloured buttons are two big ticks in its favour

I'm going with "Bayonetta sweet-talked the Master Sword into letting her borrow it."

They rescued Tomonobu Itagaki/Valhalla Studio's Devil's Third from the crumbling remains of THQ, and rumour has it there are other titles they've taken under their wing.

It's the little things, like the Samus Aran costume having the morph ball mode, or the treasure jingle when opening treasure chests as Link!Bayonetta. Or Bowser's arms and feet coming through to attack when playing as Peach!Bayonetta.

Nintendo funded the game. Without Nintendo, it wouldn't exist. Chance of timed-exclusive? Incredibly low.

For clarity, at E3 2014 they announced Nintendo Costumes for Bayonetta when announcing the game would be coming to the Wii U as well. In today's Direct they announced that the costumes would also be available in Bayonetta 2, along with the Fox McCloud 'Star Mercenary' costume.

It's true, they won't.

Trust in your instincts. They may steer you wrong once in a while but better to be overly cautious now than blithely disregard the gut feeling and getting into a sticky situation later.

You are right! After all:

I lost a few pounds during my playthough of Skyward Sword. I plan on giving that another playthrough at some point, I really enjoyed it from start to finish.

Beans is one of the weirder things I've unlocked, where you have to tip the gamepad back and forth to move beans around in a box to provide the backing SFX for a manga-style cutscene.

Currently Xenoblade Chronicles and unlocking things in Game & Wario. Towards the end of the month it's Hyrule Warriors and Fantasy Life time.
