eShop news! -Wonderful 101, Game & Wario and Ninja Gaiden: Razor's Edge are all $30 on the Wii U eShop in NA right now, and from the sounds of things it's a permanent price reduction rather than a sale. Anyone wanna confirm/deny for me? -Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate HD is out now in NA, $19.99. PAL-land version has been delayed to "late April" for some unspecified reason.

It has the red banner that says Price Drop on the Wii U games, so I'm going to say that it's permanant.

It seems to be $35 in stores here (Canada), which fits with the new standard pricing here.

JP VC watch: Adventures of Lolo is hitting the JP 3DS VC next week, so I guess we can count on 'em coming over eventually. EDIT: Super Punch-Out on the JP Wii U VC, too.

Aren't both of those out already in the US VC? I know Super Punch out is on the Wii U at least.

PAL date is April 17, saw it listed just now. The 3DS version is already pretty cheap in NA, like $10 cheap.

I never played them, personally, so they're not exactly vivid in my memory. In any case, the point stands. There's a GBA Virtual Console as well, and Capcom does a better job of getting its popular games on the service than any company I can name. They're even better at it than Nintendo.

Stink Terios posted:Only 5 was released on DS. It also had a feature that utilized the GBA port at the bottom. It would detect games like Botkai and the like and give you special chips for Battle Network. I can't remember how to access it completely since it's been years since I played but it was pretty cool to get those special chips.

Question time. I have some money to burn on Paypal, and was hoping to find a way to use that money for the eShop to buy some of the Wii U GBA games. I'm almost positive that the eShop doesn't support Paypal itself, so does anyone know of a reliable site that I can use Paypal with to get a code instantly, and not just ship a card to my home?

Play-Asia is moderately speedy with them, 2-4 hours during actual business hours. If you place an order on the weekends or at 4AM you'll be waiting though.

Is there a reason why you can't just cash the money out to your bank account and use it for whatever? Seems like a more sensible option than paying a 30% markup for a points card. vvv I guess it's different in the US or something, because PayPal Germany doesn't charge fees for withdrawals at all. vvv Katana Gomai fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Apr 3, 2014 |

Yeah, considering pay pal won't charge you a fee for low transactions out of your account, why not just transfer 20-50 out to your actual bank account and do it that way?

I've never played any of the Mario & Luigi or Advance Wars games so I'm quite looking forward to them. I do wish they'd put them on the 3DS, but at least I can play them on the WiiU Gamepad and still get a bit of portability.

Going to start Fusion now and I'll see how that is. e: It's really not that bad, I think it looks pretty good. Plus if M2 worked on it that's pretty cool.

It's sad how excited I am to rebuy games I've already beaten! I'm such a classic game whore, I can't help it. Sure I could just pirate the stuff but I'm an adult damnit and I'm gonna pay for my electronic toy machine games.

It looks fantastic on the Gamepad but not quite as good on my 32" LCD. I was mostly judging by the text, which looked fine on the smaller screen but obviously quite blocky on the big screen. Still, it and I imagine the other two games should both be totally playable either way.
