I guess I'm the only one to say Yoshi's pretty fun with another player. Yeah there are like a dozen better options, but it's not a terrible game.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Are you familiar with the Kaz Ayabe's other games, Boku no Natsuyasumi? I've never played them but they have a cult following and seem to trade heavily on nostalgia in a similar way to Friday Monsters, so I'm just curious to know whether this game compares unfavourably to his other games in that respect. I've never played them, but I know of them. They're sort of like Animal Crossing except with people and nostalgia-invoking Japanese rural settings, aren't they? They looked interesting but I knew they'd just go unplayed among my dismaying pile of untouched classics. I also see they're responsible for some graphic work on Konami's Magician's Quest series, which I thought was pretty much a straight rip on Animal Crossing. Friday Monsters just didn't measure up at all for me. The story's entirely too short and I suspect confusing to people who aren't familiar with Japanese cultural cues and cliches. I grew up in that time and place, but it failed to strike a nostalgic chord. It just amounts to a JRPG without battles, and a pretty tedious one at that. Also, there's no PvP mode, so you're stuck playing against NPCs with your monster cards. Since the battle system is little more than your rock-paper-scissors, there's little satisfaction to be gained in winning.

I have no idea what kind of voodoo magic they need to so to get them as a WiiU VC title, but at least you can play them in Wii Mode immediately which is a step up above PS4 and Xbox which will have zero backwards compatibility.

If the Wii U can play the Wii VC games in Wii mode, then all it would take for those VC games to be on Wii U proper is a software update by Nintendo. They may not want to do that though so they can make you buy new things or some other  I dunno

There needs to be a Mii Channel, data management and SD card menu specifically for Wii software, which could potentially be confusing to have in the Wii U menu, but I don't see why they couldn't give Wii-relevant icons a border that was clearly labelled "Wii", and keep them all in their own folder on the home screen.

I emailed HAL Laboratory about getting Lolo on the 3DS eShop and finally got a response back! And it's in English that is probably as broken as the auto-translated Japanese I sent them. They said no, but the response was so adorable that I can't be too mad about it. My favorite part is how it feels like they're shouting the titles of the game at me so as to make the games seem more epic.quote:Dear [Unoriginal],

Ugh re-release Adventures of Lolo 3 already, I already beat the first two and that's the hard to find one! I'm always amazed at puzzle games like Lolo and how the level designers manage to create them, especially when I get stuck on little red herring nonsolutions and I KNOW* they designed the level that way on purpose!

Still, it was cool of them to write back to you, a lot of studios/publishers don't bother. I guess the best alternative is Mole Mania, or Solomon's Key if/when that shows up.

PAL update (week of June 13):quote:WII U VIRTUAL CONSOLE Sega's finally coming good with those Game Gear games! All four of 'em are pretty good, too. It's also worth pointing out that M2'S GG VC releases support link cable features via local wireless, unlike Game Boy. On Mario & Yoshi: "This is the US version of the game with the European title screen". What?

At least it's not Yoshi's Cookie. I think they keep re-releasing Yoshi because it was an early Satoshi Tajiri game, but really, I have no idea.

Mario & Yoshi was actually one of the games I was excited to find out were part of the 3DS Ambassador titles. I always had a soft spot for it for some reason, even though so many better puzzle games exist.

I guess the other reason is that they don't wanna give away Dr. Mario because it's something people are more likely to pay full price for.

Annoyed that we are already two SNES games behind NOA but all they can put up this week is the monthly 30c promo game. Unless there is news in tomorrows Direct, but I doubt that'll happen.

I don't have a 3DS registered with Club Nintendo. If I download Animal Crossing today will it automatically register or can I delay that until July and earn 60 coins for next year?

Glad I held off on grabbing any of the ones past MM2 on the 3DS. I've been enjoying Mega Man X on the Wii U this week, so maybe I'll move onto MM3 when I'm done.

Hopefully they'll release Mega Man 6 on the Wii U as well, it's the only Mega Man game I'd consider buying digitally because the original is so drat expensive but I don't want to play it on a handheld. In a perfect world Nintendo would have implemented cross-system play though.

Next week's JP VC releases, for those who care: Yie-Air Kung Fu (3DS/NES), Tsuppori Ozumo (3DS/NES, Tecmo sumo game), Super Mario Kart (Wii U/SNES). I was gonna do an eShop-related E3 summary but they didn't really announce a whole lot - there's an Art Academy Miiverse app coming to Wii U as a primer for a full retail game, and Namco is releasing a digital Pacman collection for both Wii U and 3DS that includes Pacman CE and Pacman Battle Royale, and that's pretty much it.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Megaman 6 is available on the 3DS VC. Not for me. I can't wait for it, though. I only played the first three as a kid, and only a little of 1, but I've just been devouring them. The activity log says I've put a combined eighty-three and a half hours into the first five. I figure I'll have just enough time to get 6 down pat before I finally get sick of Mega Man.

I can't believe they haven't released anything for E3 (yet), like a surprise Pikmin 3/Mario&Luigi 4 demo. It's such an easy thing to do and build some hype. That whole Best Buy demo scheme is just absurd, release them on the e-shop and give people a reason to dust off their consoles for once. Also, not everyone lives in the USA!
