Not just the 3D Marios, but the 2D ones as well!
This is a survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.
Thanks very much. As stated above the topic for you guys this week is “How satisfied are you with the direction that the Mario franchise is taking?”.
Amazon is now taking pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Prima Game Guide. You can either go with the special collector’s edition or paperback release.
Other game guides you may be interested in include Super Mario 3D World and The Wonderful 101. We’ve also previously mentioned the Pokemon X/Y “Kalos Region Guidebook: The Official Pokemon Strategy Guide”. It’s available in either hardcover or paperback.
XSEED is localizing Rune Factory 4 for North America. In Europe, Zen United will be bringing the game over, it has been revealed.
Speaking with JPGames, Zen United director Geraint Evans said (roughly translated):
“You are actually the first people I’m telling, that Rune Factory 4 will be brought over to Europe by us. We will be announcing it officially in the very near future.”
Xenoblade Chronicles is currently $80 on GameStop. If you use the coupon “SEPT15” at checkout, you can get the game for $65. Considering GameStop’s recent restock of Xenoblade for $90, buying it for $65 isn’t as terrible.
Bike Rider DX’s price will be slashed sometime this month. The new price should be set at $2.99.
What’s most interesting about the entire situation is that Bike Rider DX’s sale was accidentally revealed early. On the Canadian eShop, a notice indicated that the sale was already in effect – even though this wasn’t the case.
