Pokébank needed a bailout.

Someone found an OFLC rating for Castlevania: Dracula X, which is kinda surprising, considering it never got a Wii VC release. I guess someone, somewhere will be excited about this.

Yay! I'm the someone!

Yeah, Pokebank is now TBD and the Japanese service has now been pulled. The official site still lists the 27th, but that should change before long.

(sounds like the Pokemon Bank stuff is being temporarily delayed/withdrawn until the xmas server issues are over... let's hope it doesn't go the way of Flipnote 3D.)

I think it was a major component of this iteration of Pokemon, as it'll be the only way to get a huge chunk of pokemon. I don't think they'd let that happen.

Plus they're planning on using it for transfers for future Pokémon generations. They're not killing off the worldwide release.

Sucks though, I was looking forward to transferring. And I want to buy Ace Attorney 5. :(

If Dracula X shows up on the 3DS and not just the Wii U I'm gonna poo poo five bricks. I have the PSP version but I never keep the PSP with me.

It's not Rondo of Blood that he's talking about, it's the SNES port that has different physics/levels/music than the original and is rare as hell.

You can technically already play Rondo of Blood on a Wii U through the Wii mode's shop.

Oh, so we definitely won't get it on 3DS anyway. The SNES Dracula X is pretty bad but it's not AWFUL, and honestly I just want new non-Lords of Shadow Castlevania so bad I'd buy pretty much anything that showed up on the VC.

Cave Story if you haven't played it yet is, but PxZ isn't worth any price.

I think Project X Zone is pretty fun in small bursts. Don't play too much of it at once and you'll be fine.

If anything it'll be what pushes them to get better infrastructure, because it's not like Flipnote is one of their best-selling franchises.

Also that the bulk of the strategy in that game is mastered in 30 minutes, but the game is like 50 hours long.

Do I need to play Mighty Switch Force 1 to play 2? It looks interesting, but if there's no connection I'd rather jump right to the sequel.

Nope. The "plot" is barebones on both games. Ideally, buy both for maximum speedrunning puzzle-platforming.

This really doesn't surprise me, not in the least.

Well, at least we're getting SOMETHING in the form of Super Punch Out and Mario Tennis, both excellent games.

(And for those who got the Wii VC SPO! when it was in Club Nintendo its only $1.50 for the update of course.)

But still, there's no reason they couldn't have put SMB3 up as well.

I have a tremendous tolerance for anime and regularly play the Super Robot Wars games so I have a tolerance for crossover shenanigans and still disliked it so YMMV.

Ace Attorney 5 didn't pull Call of Duty numbers, unfortunately, so it'll be dead again.

You find out grandma is dead, show up in town, a fuzzy thing tells you how to sell an item then opens the store. Supposedly there is a story of some sort, but it got boring within a few minutes.

It's something they added via firmware update, but it's been possible for a while now. There's an option during checkout that says "Add Exact Funds" or something, I forget the exact wording.
