Otherwise, week.

Does Platinum for last year count? Or can I finish up a bunch of surveys right now and still be able to get the demo?

Not sure. Try, and then pray?

I will say that Captain Toad is definitely the game I'm looking forward most to for the rest of the year, and this is definitely cementing that. The levels, while still small and contained, are larger than the ones in SM3DW and they are designed extremely well to pack in a lot of interaction in such a small space.

Edit: I take that back. This third level they are showing is probably on the scale of some of the medium to larger SM3DW levels.

Wow, this level is way more intense than any of the Captain Toad levels in 3D World. It's amazing.

Again, for those not watching, it's a very long lava level that has the boost pads from SM3DW, and toad is constantly running as fast as he can making it easy to fall off into the lava.

I actually like how it uses the mic on the gamepad to add an additional timing element, combined with the speed pads forcing you to dash. Like, its obvious enough to realise you need to do it, but it can probably happen suddenly enough that you might miss it.

They are playing NES Remix on the 3DS now. Not too much to talk about. It's pretty much the same except there are online leader boards.

Also, it seems that the "surprise" that they didn't want to show in Captain Toad is somehow related to the gems that you collect.

Wait do you have to CURRENTLY be platinum to get the demo or have gotten it last year? Cause from end of June till September to get Platinum without a ton of releases is kinda suspect.

I guess they are doing this on purpose, since NES Remix 1 and 2 have already been released, but it was only 10-15 minutes of Captain Toad, which I wanted to see more of. If you've played the NES remix games, there's not much to watch on this right now.

They're being "rolled out" so it could be whenever. The suspense.

I love the Treehouse guys but they seem very insistent on playing games we all played 25 years ago.

Mega Man 7 coming to Virtual Console. About the only thing left on my wishlist is Mega Man 9 and 10 getting Wii U shop releases so I can stop booting into Wii Mode for them.

Oh nice. Capcom may not care about making new Mega Man games, but at least this past two months they been really pumping out the old games on the eShop and PSN. Could see Mega Man 8 coming to PSN in a week or two and then Mega Man & Bass on the eShop in a few weeks.

I forgot about Mega Man and Bass! I hope that if we get it its the SNES version though...I had a great time with an english patched ROM of it. The GBA version is just so tiny...

Its got some of the coolest hidden poo poo in any Mega Man game. The Rush Adapter is super cool, you can use Protoman's shield, there's a hidden Mega Man vs Bass street fighter esque mini-game.

Mega Man 7 and 8 are both good games but they just seemed to have lost something from the 8-bit series without gaining all that much like the X series. They are still worth playing but pretty much all the 8-bit ones are better.

Demo will be out for everyone next Friday, 9/19. Might be the same as the Japan demo, which only has 30 uses, as opposed to the Club Nintendo demo that has unlimited uses.
