Yet another Nintendo Direct goes by, this time an unexpected one (announced yesterday) but with exclusive content for all regions. This year is apparently "The Year of Luigi" and as such, there's a lot of content related to Mario's brother this time. For more information, head to the related forum thread!
A next installment in the Mario & Luigi series has been announced, entitled Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. This time around, the adventure will take place in Luigi's very own dreams! You can help Mario traverse the lands of Luigi's subconsciousness by prodding Luigi every now and then or pulling at his mustache using the touchscreen - sounds like fun!

That MHU Wii U is smexy, but I think I will take the 3DS version only. Never been a multiplayer so I don't mind. I won't buy XL though, just the game.
They really didn't announce anything world breaking there, but maybe it's just me. Inazuma 3 for Europe is nice but I already bought 1 2 3 Endou Mamoru Densetsu and I haven't even beaten the first IE yet... and most likely I ever won't. The Etrian Odyssey IV news for Europe is sweet though.
I loled at the DLC @Yatterman don't forget that the 3DS version has no online functions and without them you can only play like 1/3 content of the game on yourself. If you are a Hardcore MH player i would recommend you the Wii U version except you have a family member/Friend who will buy the Wii U version

Welp, looks like my 3ds will be stealing my attention back from my Vita pretty soon then. I'm pretty disappointed that the 3ds MH has no online capability though. Not surprised, just disappointed.

There will be a patch for MHU in Japan that allows online. But you have to have Wii U with Nintendo's own LAN peripheral (or something)... Anyways, I went and bought a Wii U.
Also got ZombiU for it. I already regret the whole thing. Seriously, is anyone able to play ZombiU with that pad? It is pure torture. I have Nintendo Land too, haven't touched that crap at all. It sounds even worse than Zombi. Damn you, would that 22nd of March come soon... I wanna killah some monstah.
And who the heck has designed that Internet system... it took goddamn four hours to get my console into net. And I had to check some shady hints from Internet first (seriously, add +10 to IP??? What the hay) Oh well, I have a Wii U now. Yippee.
Well, maybe I will give the console some time before totally judging it, but for now its future looks pretty grim. MiiVerse sucks though, big time.
