Well, poking through things, whilst I dunno if the US can order codes direct off the website as you can in the UK, you can get a specific game code through a retailer, according to its own explanation of eshop purchases. So I guess, get the code, input it later.

Yeah, I saw that, but none of the retailers offer the eShop download code at the prices listed. Understandably, since Nintendo doesn't have to give a cut if you buy direct.

I was just hoping to take advantage of the sales while they're around.

I would pay upwards of $4.49 for Punch Out if they could get Mike Tyson back on board.

The rest of the 3DS games on that list are the same price, but Mario 3D Land is $25 for me (in Canada).

Don't forget your digital deluxe money if you have some. Had $5 from the Platinum reward and $7 leftover from the 20% gift card, so I got SMB2, SMB3, and Punchout for "free". Thanks!

I feel like I might end up buying a bunch of these games on sale to play eventually because it's not like Nintendo puts their own games on sale terribly often.

It derives from French, which is how it's used, and my dictionary at least disagrees with you. A similar case would be fiance vs fiancee.

Blonde/blond when used as a noun refers to women/men respectively, but blond as an adjective never has an "e" at the end.

Sweet, I was just thinking to myself how wrong it was that I own only three 3DS games and then this comes along. I had even just started looking for a used copy of Awakening, but I can wait a week for a cheaper digital copy. Maybe I'll be able to get OoT3DS on sale like I wanted to! And people are down with Mario 3D Land?

The VC game prices are valid for 3DS and WiiU both it seems, so that's something.

I am not only down with Mario 3D Land, I think it's one of the best Mario games out there and certainly one of the best drat games on the 3DS. (I would say "best Mario," but 3D World exists now. :v:)

Being it's such a great game and it's on sale for 20 bucks, you'd be an idiot not to get it. Don't be an idiot. GET IT.

I bought 3D Land yesterday and can confirm it owns. Real hard. It's great and now I'm pumped to play 3D World!

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
I thought Mario 3D Land was samey and repetitive and wasted the potential of 3D by making a bunch of linear obstacle courses.

I haven't played Nobunaga's Ambition specifically but I have played a few old Koei games and in terms of how archaic they are the closest frame of reference I can think of would be Civ 1 or the original SimCity.

3DS.

Wii U NES games have an ugly filter that can't be turned off and they have a little extra input lag for some reason. Other systems are fine, I don't get why NES games specifically are the way they are on Wii U.

It's tough to say. Could be never, could be next time they're drumming up Zelda-related news. I'd say eventually they'll make it available again but... :shrug:

Like it just seems silly not to, from where I'm standing. If they put it on the eShop, people will buy it. Why is Nintendo making it so hard to take my money? :arghfist::saddowns:

For that matter, I wish the 3DS eShop had SNES games.
