Put Nintendon't on your Wii U and play it with a Gamecube controller.

I don't think I'm ever going to 100% 3D World after learning I need to beta the game with every character in order to unlock it. The worst part is that I learned this right as I got to Boss Blitz.

No Amiibos, no Nintendoland, no Gamecube anything, 8GB. What a steal!

The only thing you get for doing every level with every character is a set of character stamps; all the actual content is unlocked from collecting Green Stars, top-of-flagpoles, and stamps in-level.

So I don't need to beat all of the levels with all the characters to get Champion's Road? If that's the case, I'll go beat Boss Blitz right now.

Naw, beating all the levels with all the characters is simply for 100% completion. You just need to get all the flagpoles, green stars, and stamps in each level to get to world crown-crown (I say "just" but).

Does the UK eShop not allow you to use credit cards directly?

Also, are there any tricks to beating Boss Blitz in time? I die on that bouncing clown gently caress after going in with maybe 30 seconds.

The official Nintendo online store has a spot you can buy codes from, but that's even more expensive.

Since Retro is done with Donkey Kong and Metroid's 30th anniversary is coming up in 2016 I think we might get something soon?? You can only hope!! (Also it would be six years between other M and a new one, which is kind of nuts for nintendo sequels-making)

Well that beats out the refurb as the best deal on a Wii U.

Also, do you get anything special for finishing Wario Land 4 with all of the treasure chests from the boss fights?

If I remember right the number of chests you get determines the appearance of the princess at the end of the game

I didn't hear that, but at least the 3DS one I think is confirmed cancelled, the team working on it doing the Luigi's Mansion game instead. I'm not super beat up about it because Luigi's Mansion 2 wasn't all that great and the concept art they released of it was kind of ugly.

It's more that Nintendo considers both the old 2D style and the Prime-like 3D style to be important to Metroid and that they would work on doing something with both. There's been nothing said other than that, but at the very least that means at least two different games in the future. People extrapolated on that to say there would be a game for both systems.

Not really, there was an eight-year gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime/Fusion that everyone conveniently forgets about.
