So I recently got a Wii U, and I'm confused in this thread people mentioning "coins". I live in the UK. I had a £20 Nintendo voucher that I won as a prize. I have used most of that up buying Metroid Prime Trilogy and Super Metroid. Wanted to grab Metroid Fusion too but I'm short by just a few pence. If I want to top up my wallet apparently the minimum ammount is £10! *shakes fist* A few days ago I created a Club Nintendo account and registered a few codes so I now have 1700 stars. However, it appears that all I can buy with these stars are bits of Nintendo merchandise. I saw that I could buy vouchers for Nintendo Points... but then realised that they are for the original Wii store, not the Wii U. So what are these coins that people are mentioning? How do I earn coins that let me buy games? your evil twin fucked around with this message at 12:21 on Feb 10, 2015 |

Coins are a NA thing, in Pal territories we have stars.

Ahh, I see. And apparently stars are useful for buying ABSOLUTELY BUGGER ALL.

Apparently club nintendo is closing down in a few months anyway? And all i see are things like phone ring tones or backpacks for kids. Or if I gave up a gazillion stars, the most fancy expensive thing is a set of golf balls. It doesn't seem the effort of scratching off the cards from my other games and registering them all and doing surveys for each one. I'm not interested in literally one single thing in the European nintendo club store. I was really excited at the prospect that by buying new games (Rather than 2nd hand) you would be rewarded with a little money of cash-back to spend on games on the e-store. Turns out that here in Europe that's just something they did with Wii, not Wii-U.  Any Europeans ever see anything cool on Club Nintendo? your evil twin fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Feb 10, 2015 |

It's generally not worth the effort, yeah, but the Japanese and North American services have recently added a ton of digital games and other rewards as closing-down prizes, and I expect the European Club Nintendo will make them available soon, too.

Ah OK I shall dutifully scratch the cards on my other games then before the codes expire. Annoyingly I don't seem to have gotten 1000 stars for the Wii-U itself. I know the Wii-U doesn't come with a card to scratch off, the instructions said to create a Club Nintendo account using the card from a game and then tie my e-shop account to the club nintendo account. I did so, it all seems successfully registered and tied together, but I haven't gotten any points or a survey for the Wii-U. I did get a 1000 points due to registering code that came with my ancient Wii, though. Still had the card!

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:EDIT: Rockman & Forte, too. Can you guess which version? Great, the version that suffers from being on too small of a screen and from the lack of a dedicated dash button. Restore points will help it immensely (gently caress Burnerman's stage, and Burnerman himself actually, and the entire fortress.) but it doesn't stop it from being a lovely port. gently caress, I'd take an untranslated SFC version over the GBA version if it came down to it.

If you can believe it, Atlus and Ubisoft are doing a eShop sale YET AGAIN. It's pretty much monthly at this point. Another chance for y'all to get SMT IV and Devil Survivor for $15 each.

I am currently in the process of kicking myself really hard for not picking up KORG DSN-12 when it was on sale, not only because I have no idea whether it will go back on sale or not, but also because even if it does, it'll likely be a very long time before then.

Zaa Boogie posted:I believe for the Wii U you want to use the serial number as the code itself. Mine automatically registered if I recall correctly. However, Club Nintendo seems to work on a batch system where it gives you your survey somewhere between midnight and the morning after you register. That's why you'll see disclaimers like "May take 24 hours to show".

Yeah, I thought it was a long-shot and pleasantly surprised. While the codes that came with games had expiry dates, the code for the console itself had no date written on it.

Yessss, by far my most anticipated 3DS game at the moment. And then I probably have to wait another six months for it to come out here in Europe and speaking of which where the HELL is Gunvolt I don't get why they're keeping Tokimeki in Japanese. What's wrong with "The Princess's Heart-throbbing Rhapsody"?

Maybe they think the prospective audience is fine with words like Tokimemi, or that it'll be more memorable or something. I mean, Nintendo managed to sell a million copies of "Tomodachi Life" so anything's possible.

Protect Me Knight was all about being a game with a SNES-esque localisation effort, so a weirdly translated title seems right up that alley.

It was the standard "no plans at this time" non-answer, in regards to bringing their own hardware platforms (Mega Drive, Master System, etc). Their digital legacy policy has switched away from just emptying the vaults with minimal effort to focusing on fewer releases with added value a la 3D Classics.

JustJeff88 posted:I just bought that on cart because I had really enjoyed Portrait of Ruin. They don't have any of the DS-era Castlevania games (Portrait of Ruin, Dawn of Sorrow, Order of Ecclesia) on any Virtual Console that I know of, but I think that OoE is still in active production and you can get it for a decent price. Uprising and Star Fox 3D are out of print and pricey, so I feel more compelled to get them.
