First cross-buy game for Nintendo platforms!

[ratsoalbion]

Yes! Now if only Nintendo would extend it to VC games (at least) themselves.

[AndyKurosaki]

Yeah, that would be a definite step in the right direction.

[stvnorman]

Yeah, that would be a definite step in the right direction.

I work for a big Japanese electronics company. Unfortunately a step in the right direction is the best you can ever hope for, no matter how obvious taking a leap might be for the rest of the world.

Hmmm... funny I work for a big French-Canadian company and I would say the exact same thing...

Anyway, on-topic!

I might pick up Pokémon: TGS, I completed this back when it was released but I'm ashamed to say in my youth it was via emulation and so it is due an actual purchase now I think.

The last episode of the wolf among us is out on PS3 and Xbox by the way;)

Pop'n Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventures is really not given enough love, it's a super cute platformer but has some really cool mechanics. Can't wait to get stuck into it again.
