Did anyone catch any major differences between eu/us directs? I watched the wrong one like a fool.

PAL-land got 4 N64/VC games: Mario 64, DK64, Mario Kart DS, Warioware Touched. Buy 3, get 1 free.

They also announced the next Wii download games: Sin & Punishment 2, Pandora's Tower, out later this month; both will have 25% launch discounts.

I'm hoping we get those titles in the US too, I wish the VC schedule wasn't a complete mystery at times (hasn't the 3DS gone a long time without a VC release?)

It's tapered off in NA/PAL-land, yeah, but we still get a game every now and again. Being limited to NES/Game Boy means they've already burned through most of the big games.

Japan has only had one 3DS VC release in the last 9+ months (Pokemon TCG, released on xmas) despite having access to more games over more platforms, it's insane.

With as many platforms as they're supporting now, I would hope that they can try to stick to more consistency. Wii and DS have HUGE libraries so it would be a waste if they didn't get as many titles up as possible. Even if we're just talking Nintendo-published games, Wikipedia says Nintendo has published over 140 games on DS alone across the various territories.

I'm getting my hopes up that they'll put Super Mario Strikers Charged up there :X It'd also be an opportunity for me to hype people up about games like magical starsign and poo poo.

So the DS VC involves some rough compromises, but at least they've provided lots of options. For most games, I think the best way to go will be the setting where one screen is large and the other is small.

Unfortunately, that mode's not so good for Yoshi's Island DS, which plays around a lot with the way the screens are stacked, meaning you wanna have one on top or the other. And for some reason they've chosen for that mode to display the screens like this:



Those screens could be scaled at least 50% larger and still fit. 80% larger if you reduce the gap between them.

You also can't remap buttons for some reason, which means you can't use ZL/ZR as your L/R buttons (which I prefer to do).

It's pretty good but a little difficult and very familiar. If you like the original it's basically more of the same.

Don't buy the 3DS one though.

Lots of skimpy costumes and emphasis on wet clothes tech, mostly, plus some voyeuristic camera stuff. It's not Senran Kagura levels of bad but seeing this crap forced into every JP game is getting tiresome.
