I thought they had trouble emulating MMX2 because it had a weird custom chip for wire frame graphics. That's awesome! How it's in North America soon.

Its been in Japan for a month or two now and it was even put up on the Wii VC near the end of last year. It worked fine there so I see no reason as to why it wouldn't work fine now.

Crawfish posted:Picross e3 isn't bad, but the 3DS could really use some more VC releases. ... why would they put up games they already released? If anything that'd be worse than nothing. There are still games they haven't released yet, Nintendo should probably focus on those if they haven't just given up on VC already. Which they probably have but whatever. No but seriously why would they put up games they've already released wouldn't they just put them on sale instead?

There's another Nintendo Direct in ~12 hours from now; they say it'll be focused on upcoming 3DS stuff, but you never know. Shin'en is hinting at something, probably Jett Rockett 2 info. Anyway, some interesting JP releases in the next week or two, including Picross e4 for 3DS and Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen (SFC) for WU VC. I'd love to find out how Square-Enix decides which games to release on VC... it takes 'em forever just to release the FF games, and Dragon Quest hasn't ever appeared on the VC at all, but you better believe they're gonna release the hell out of Ogre Battle.

The first Jett Rocket was pretty bland but still a solid platformer and graphically very impressive for wiiware. I'm interested to see more of the sequel, Shinens sequels are always better. F-Zero fans should keep an eye on another Shinen game in development- FAST Racing Neo, a sequel to their other wiiware graphical showcase.. Who knows, this might be the closest thing to F-Zero on WiiU we ever get. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sNxZ7wcXyI Also Child of Light continues to look amazing.

Now I'm going to have to fill out my Ogre Battle survey with "WHERE'S MY GODDAMN OGRE BATTLE 64" instead.

According to today's Direct, an upcoming 3DS update is going to add Miiverse, as well as let you combine your balance between both eShops. No mention of linking ownership of VC titles common between both eShops, so that's probably still not happening.

Other eShop-relevant news (for EU, anyway, haven't seen the NA Direct yet): Here's the EU rundown: -Bravely Default (3DS) demo out now! EN-only, full game will have seven languages. -System update coming next month; will include NNID Wii U/3DS cross-compatibility (unified wallet), Miiverse, Youtube. About drat time! -Jett Rocket 2 (3DS eShop) overview/trailer; 60FPS 3D is nice, I guess. Out now! -eShop sizzle reel (Wii U/3DS): QUBE, Scram Kitty, Shantae 3, Armillo, Picross, Pier Solar, Putty Squad, Teslagrad, Treasurenauts, Wooden Sen'Sey, Retro City Rampage, UnEpic, Siesta Fiesta, Shovel Knight -Nintendo Pocket Football Club (aka Calciobit) coming to 3DS eShop in 2014! Pseudo-retro soccer/management game, includes online play. Neat! -Animal Crossing Plaza update (Wii U); they're adding the Miiverse stamps a la 3D World, and will be adding 'em to more games in future. Usable only in the communities of that specific game. Also adding regular Miiverse polls and other tweaks. Available tomorrow (November 14). -Pikmin 3 (Wii U) DLC Volume 3 info; these levels will be all-new (beach stage! Christmas stage!) and include new objectives (hidden Louies?) 8 stages total, out December 2. Additional 2 free stages available on the same day via system update. -Wii Fit U Trial (Wii U) overview; you dudes already know how this works, right? -Wii Sports Club (Wii U) overview; same old, no new info. The Timely Howard posted:Yeah, sorry, I'm willing to accept partial blame for this. I've been filling out practically every Virtual Console game survey on Club Nintendo with "WHERE'S MY GODDAMN OGRE BATTLE". Hey, don't apologise, it just baffles me that they're so consistent about re-releasing these games when they aren't doing anything with the franchise and it wasn't even theirs to begin with.

To be honest a GBA Tactics Ogre rerelease for the 3DS would be amazing. Loved the heck out of that game. I picked up a GBA when it first came out because Nintendo Power teased that it would be released. Edit: then again they need to start releasing GBA games to the console outside of Ambassador games for that to be a reality...

So the $89.xx I've got in my Wii U eShop account can be used on my 3DS sometime soon? If so, that's great. I had added $100 to my Wii U during that recent promotion, with the intention of slowly spending it on DLC and smaller eShop titles over the next couple of years. If I can spend that on 3DS it'll go to use much more quickly.

One thing about the Bravely Default demo that wasn't mentioned in the Direct is that certain things carry over to the full game, according to the demo itself these are a few exclusive items and residents of the streetpass town.

Has anyone picked up Jett Rocket? I never played the WiiWare original, the sequel looks really good from the video on the eShop, though. Plenty of variety between platforming and shooter levels.

I can't sit up until 2AM waiting for the NOA press release this week, but I can tell you NA is getting Uncharted Waters: New Horizons (SNES) on the WU VC and River City Ransom (NES) on the 3DS VC, as well as Senran Kagura Burst on the 3DS eShop (plus Jett Rockett 2 which dropped last night.) There's also a week-long Zelda VC sale in NA: Zelda (WU/3DS) and Zelda 2 (WU/3DS) will be $3.49 and Link's Awakening (3DS) will be $3.99 until the 21st. (Megaman sale next week!)

I hope they manage to release Mega Man five and six for WiiU for the sale next week, and Mega Man X2. Ooh if they really want to shock me they can release the game boy games aside from just the first one. I'd buy em all for sure(maaaaaybe not the second one).

Nintendo of Japan had a mini-update today and it looks like the Youtube update is completely separate from the system update (as in, they said Youtube would launch mid-November which to me pretty much means "any day now" but next month for the system update)

Is there support for 3D videos? Edit: misread, thought you meant YouTube app was already available in Japan. The NOE direct said the same thing; YouTube by end of November, update in December.

I'm betting the Megaman sale is why we're not getting X2 this week? gently caress I don't even care about the sale since I'm getting it for a $1.50 anyway but i bet that's not the case and they'll just discount the NES games and X1. This sucks, another week of nothing terribly interesting.

PAL update (week of November 14):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS NA update (week of November 14): quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS (just noticed bpc908 had me covered, thanks duderino!) Heads up on the new Adventure Time game: the 3DS version supposedly has no multiplayer mode whatsoever, which seems like a dealbreaker for a Gauntlet-style game. Also, a reminder that NES games on the 3DS VC do have local multiplayer via Download Play, so you can definitely play River City Ransom in co-op. (Game Gear games do it, too, it's only GB/C games that don't.) PaletteSwappedNinja fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Nov 15, 2013 |
