I'm definitely going to buy Demon's Crest, and I want to get Gargoyle's Quest 2 but I'm not sure if I want it on Wii U or 3DS. Just going to take this opportunity to say once again that it's dumb that Nintendo doesn't have cross buy.

Yeah, I agree with that. I'd buy it on 3DS just so you can have it on the go.

Although it is an enormous pain in the rear end, if you really want to ensure you never have to download anything again, you can then backup those 32 gig data files to a PC and restore them later. The only thing is the flash drive will have 32 gigs of files regardless of how much is actually on there, so you'll have to distribute games oddly to "max out" the drive.

Where did all the vampire games go? Every game in the 80's had Dracula as a boss including Ducktales and Flintstones, neither of which made sense.

I want to, but whenever I look at it i'm just thinking "I'd be paying more than a game's worth when i could save this money and buy a game on disc instead." and with the cashback going away a bit after smash, i got way less incentives to get stuff digital.

After Smash U i'll probably just buy games through amazon, got DKCTF ten bucks cheaper by waiting and getting it through them.

Plus, the ability to sell them later is non-existent with digital games. I wouldn't normally say that, but Nintendo games hold their value spectacularly, and always have.

I only ever played Gargoyle's Quest 2, but the structure is kind of like a more linear Zelda 2 without the random encounters: a big overworld to explore in top-down, with several locations sending you to a side-scrolling platformer where the real action happens. As you progress, you gain more abilities like stronger attacks and increases in your ability to fly. It's a great little platformer with a good challenge that isn't "Nintendo hard" or whatever.

I was wondering what stuff was missing. But costs double? I thought the price was comparative to buying 1 and 2 on the Wii U.

Some news of Retro City Rampage: the dev announced he'll be updating the WiiWare version with all the content from the DX update, even though it apparently sold so badly he had to give away a ton of codes just to hit the sales threshold that let him get paid. There's also an update in the works for the 3DS version that'll let you use the New 3DS' extra buttons.

Baseball

$30 is the same price you'd pay for both games in NA and is the same price as the retail Wii U release, so you're merely paying the same amount for fewer games.

Nes Remix 1/2 are 10EUR each in PAL-land but the 3DS release is 40EUR because why not. (There's no Wii U retail release, either.)
