To me those are good numbers. And i think it`s going to grow with a more online dedicated console like Wii U. The big question is if SE can use the Wii U version to help push online subscriptions. If there`s some sort of initial push like 1 month free promotions or such, for Wii U users, i think it can help reach that goal.

I agree that the launch of the game on WiiU will increase the number of players, even though some may change from the Wii version to the HD one.

But I don't think a promotion or discount will help. After all, the game is free to play until a certain point so people will be able to decide if they want to pay to continue playing or not. And also because the Wii version buyers might feel cheated if SE does it.

I suppose even US will have to pay for DQ online. MH3 Capcom charged Japanese gamers to play online but didn't for everyone else. I suppose they could get away with it due to Japanese gamers loving MH series more compared to the rest of the world.

There's only one game that makes me love the GameCube.

Metroid Prime.

The GC had a plethora of high rated first party titles
Ryan must have confused the GC with the Xbox ;)

Bearded gamer said everything I thinking for weeks...

@spurge: Try not to use any guides, I almost crumble in the first dungeon... thank God I used common sence when you want to hide something from plain sight in the last second. My map showed me where the switch was, but I didn't use my brain to think out the box for unknown reason...

Yeah GameCube was the least of the Nintendo consoles, software wise.

If all are included then GameBoy Advance, 6th Gen was just a 'bad' Gen really. I never played Virtual Boy though, since that wasn't released in Europe. I'll get one some day though, just because. Both the GameCube and the GameBoy Advance are the only ones I don't play anymore and are both the only ones that are neatly stacked in their boxes. I rarely play GC games and when I do, it's on Wii, same with GBA games, which I play on DS.
Don't get me wrong, 6th Gen still had it's moments. In fact, my number 2 game of all time is 6th Gen.

The Wii is better than GC, and the DS is better than GBA. The WiiU and 3DS are looking to be better than those, so I'm glad Nintendo found it's way up again!

Doubt there will ever be a N64/GameBoy Color-like generation again, but that Gen is pretty much unbeatable quality wise if you asked me.

@spurge: To add to all the help, if you suspect there are areas out of sight, or that you've missed, never forget the Dowsing option!
Even if there isn't a dowsing option that's directly what you need, you can dowse for something that's most likely there, like hearts or rupees (though you probably don't have that one yet). And like TripleMMM said, the map reveales a lot of secrets when examined more carefully.

Yes, you can't go there yet.

Eh, I thought Twilight Princess was much easier. I got stuck in a couple of places in Skyward Sword. That water fruit room...

Heh, I had no clue either.

I was just running around with no aim, got bored because I didn't see anything and started to swing my sword around. Suddenly one of those things got stuck on my sword and I was like O.O...

Anyway, Skyward Sword is nowhere near the easiest, that's actually one of the things it did right. Personally, I find Minish Cap, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks to be easier than Skyward Sword. In that order (with MC being the easiest).
