So is Mario 2 the first game available on both the Wii U and 3DS Virtual Consoles? That Twitter girl hinted that people who owned both platforms would benefit somehow in this scenario, but I don't think Nintendo ever said anything directly about it.

Ugh, they look neat enough and I love that streetpass stuff, but $5 each? That's just too steep for something like this. What are the chances they'll ever get cheaper?

When you go to buy one, it offers a pack of all 4 for $15.

I bought them all last night and got to use them all after getting a bunch of streetpasses at a midnight movie. They're a lot of fun from what I can tell and there are a lot of new hats and new ways to unlock hats. If you get a lot of streetpasses I think the $15 is worth it, if you don't I'd look the other way.

MiiForce is pretty great.

The worst thing about those new streetpass games is there just aren't enough play coins to go around. I live in Alabama, I am not getting a ton of streetpasses. I've had it about a month and gotten 4. So I have to use play coins, but now there are five total games where I would need to spend multiple a day to progress.

They need to let you get more than ten a day I think. Especially since you find yourself spending it on fortune cookies in animal crossing too.

I haven't gotten a streetpass since I installed the new software, but I was curious, can I recruit the same mii in multiple games? That will alleviate the pain a little.

Yeah, just like you get a person in both Puzzle Swap and Find Mii, they appear in all 4 other games as well.

Metroid came out yesterday.

edit: on the Wii U VC. I think Mario 2 was the only thing on the 3DS but I'm not sure.

Guess we're not getting that Kid Icarus deal where you can get one game for a discount if you buy the other since they didn't bother to release it here.

Way to go, NOA! You're giving me more reasons not to support your lovely practices with this unnecessary trickling. Is it so hard to release two loving NES games a week at least?

It's especially odd because a month ago we were getting some seriously great weekly VC updates. You'd think that July would be the month where they put out some big titles to counterbalance the lack of retail releases.

That's how they did the 3DS eShop too, a lot of great releases right off the bat when they were just rolling it out and then its like they went "Oh no there's such a nice bit of consistency with great titles every week! We need to put a stop to this and get to trickling!"

drat it, thanks to Animal Crossing and the new Mii Plaza games, my play coins have dropped from 300 to 120 in the past week.
...I think I have a problem :ohdear:

Though the games are worth it if you have some money in your eshop account. Plus plaza seems to run so much smoother now. I was worried that the added on features would make a bogged down software become molasses speed. So glad that the update fixed the speed issue :woop:

I wish. Shantae seems to have the double-whammy of being wanted by collectors because it is apparently a good game and also because it was produced in limited quantities.

With Shantae out of the way, we can move on to hoping for Bionic Commando: Elite Forces, Dragon Quest 1&2, Dragon Quest 3 and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.

Not that those are anywhere near Shantae money, I just want them on Virtual Console.

Sega Japan just updated the page for 3D Galaxy Force II (click) - here are the details:

-Definitely based on the arcade version, not the crappy Mega Drive port
-Save states
-Replay recording/playback with slow-mo option
-Fully customisable controls; movement options include circle pad, d-pad or touch screen, and there's an option to use the Circle Pad Pro to control the throttle
-Dipswitch-style settings for difficulty, starting energy, energy timer speed, shield strength
-Four different screen settings: original resolution, optimised widescreen, full-screen, and "cabinet" mode which tilts the screen as you move
-Arcade cabinet setting lets you choose which of the two cabinet versions to replicate, which changes the look of the "casing" and the way the screen tilts; you can even change the background of the room your "cabinet" is in to either an arcade or a space backdrop
-BGM/SFX jukebox with adjustible levels/channels, plus some other audio-related options like a toggle for simulated cabinet noises

It'll be out next week in Japan for 800 yen.

For those who've forgotten, here's a list of all the Sega 3D games currently revealed/leaked (none of which have been officially announced outside of Japan, by the way):

-Space Harrier
-Super Hang-On
-Sonic the Hedgehog
-Altered Beast (Mega Drive)
-Ecco the Dolphin (Mega Drive)
-Galaxy Force II (arcade)
-Shinobi 3 (leaked via age rating)
-Streets of Rage (leaked via age rating)

Yo PAL Wii U dudes, Nintendo's finally releasing its first eShop game soon! Pokemon Rumble U, the next in the line of weird gashapon brawlers, will hit the eShop on August 15. No price listed, but the Japanese version was around 1500 yen, from memory.

It's worth noting that the game includes support for special NFC figurines that let you unlock new characters and trade data; NOE has said they do plan to release the figurines at retail but that they may not be ready for launch.

I know it's in the OP to not ask about about system releases for the 3DS eShop, but I really hope they eventually put Sega Genesis games on the eShop soon. It's pretty sad when Steam has a huge variety of old Sega games for sale and a handheld boasting a library of old console games doesn't.

I know it's still relatively new but come on, Nintendo. I don't want to play Light Crusader or Phantasy Star on PC.
