PAL update (week of December 12):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS Wii Fit U Quick Check is an app you can install to your system that lets people with the retail version do the quick check without having to have the disc in the drive. If you have the download version of the game, you don't need this app. RUSH is the third and final "Two Tribes Classics" game... this one's pretty much Chu Chu Rocket, isn't it? It's dirt cheap for a while, just like the other two, so jump on it while you can. 3D Ecco's enhancements include an invincibility toggle that lets you play the game without having to worry about drowning or being murdered every five seconds, among other things. 3D Galaxy Force II is actually based on the widescreen "Neo" version that M2 made for SEGA AGES on PS2, but you can unlock an arcade-accurate version, too. All the other console versions of this game are junk, so just being able to play a competent port will be fun enough, let alone in 3D. Also note the Level-5 Guild sale, lots of interesting stuff there. (No Aero Porter, I guess they figured it was already cheap enough.)

AngryCaterpillar posted:The 3DS doesn't have a high enough resolution for SNES games. The N64 remakes only work because they were adjusted accordingly. You can emulate SNES games on 3DS just fine. I'm not a programmer, but if the people behind that could do it, surely Nintendo can figure something out? I mean, it probably involves some scaling or some poo poo, but I don't see why that's an automatic no-go for SNES games on 3DS virtual console.

FINALLY getting ALTTP. Happy about that. And we have what...2 or 3 weeks for SMB3 to turn up before it's officially put off until 2014 after two directs saying we'd be getting it in 2013.

There's been a constant stream of idiots who feel the need to defend Nintendo all the time, no matter how dumb a decision they make. People have only been excited for Miiverse under the theory that it would be an update that also introduced a proper account system, or the beginnings of one, rather than the lovely friend code system we've been lumbered with. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Japanese parents don't seem to give enough of a gently caress if their daughters are selling their bodies for money or not, most of the useful features we were hoping for have been pulled from the 3DS Miiverse, but at least there's now a clear path for people to be able to regain their games if a 3DS is lost/stolen now.

I'm curious, since the store accounts are merged now, does that mean the Deluxe Edition's "Spend $50 and get $5 back" now applies to the 3DS?

If you mean the $5 eShop credit, I'm sure those were redeemable on the 3DS before. If you mean 3DS eShop purchases giving points on the promotion, probably not. However, I did buy something off the 3DS eShop today, so I guess I'll find out tomorrow whether or not points get added!

Crap, I was out of commission for a little while and missed the update. Anyway, here's the full changelog: quote:Version 7.0.0-13U available via wireless Internet connection includes the following improvements: It's a minor thing, but I'm really glad they changed the camera command to L+R, I was forever flipping to the camera accidentally.

It's telling me that if I sign up to Nintendo Network, I'll lose my funds in other regions. If I sign up, will I lose my ability to switch regions and access games not available in my region? I'm asking this because I'm in Australia and some companies don't bother to pay to get games certified in my country (examples include Shantae: Risky's Revenge and Petit Computer). I suppose I could get away with it by permanently leaving the settings on United Kingdom, but I'd like to know for sure.

Oh right, I forgot to mention that! Yeah, you'll be locked to whichever country is assigned to your NNID, which means no more country-switching. You can get around this on Wii U by setting up separate user profiles for different countries, but you're stuck with one profile on 3DS, so you'll just have to pick one and be prepared to stick with it.

So I set up the new ID thing on my 3DS, Miiverse works but now I can't launch the eShop at all.  I get error code 007-2100 - am I alone? Tried restarting my 3DS and using a different access point.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:They did add a lot of new little additions that make things less opaque, like a meat catalogue and an NPC that gives a basic breakdown of most of the systems, plus modern conveniences like visible encounters, party chat, save anywhere, etc. They compensated by making the bosses way harder and adding some new incomprehensible systems on top. SaGa, everyone! I played both 2 and 3 for the DS as they came out, and I can barely remember either apparently, because when someone had asked me recently if I played either one, I had to think twice about it. So they aren't really anything special. I probably played through SaGa II like 6 times as a kid, too.

So with 3DS getting the Nintendo Network ID does this mean that your wallet is cross-platform now? I've been contemplating grabbing a couple of those discounted $50 eshop cards but I hate having to dedicate one to either 3DS or Wii U. If it works on both whenever the eShop unfucks itself I am tempted to grab a couple.

If you use the same Nintendo network id on both then your account balances are combined, yes.

Everyone on the board would see it, tho they couldn't really do much about it, but if your friends are "following" you the message will ALSO appear on their Activity Feed(s). It wouldn't send a notification to them, though, unfortunately, and the 3DS version of Miiverse doesn't support PMs, as has been established. Better than nothing, but it could be so much better.

The NNID disclaimer screen before you create/link one has something along the lines of "the region set on the 3DS and the region of the NNID must match". Plus, y'know, Nintendo's dumb refusal of letting you use the same account on multiple hardware systems.

You can only connect your NNID to one 3DS. It says this in big bold letters when you connect for the first time. It also said 3DS Miiverse does not support friend requests AT THIS TIME, which I assume means they'll add full functionality later.

And "underage girls may use it to arrange sex for money" has hosed over pretty much every internet service in Japan with UGC - it's one of the big reasons for the collapse in popularity of Mixi amongst other things.
