Heh, even the title literally means nothing shadow. They really wanted to make sure you knew it was going to be dour.

It's an ios port, but the game is surprisingly good and has a few cool gimmicks even if the graphics and level design are kinda rear end.

Capcom Europe and Capcom US only have one copy of each game between them, so they have to mail the games back and forth when they want to release them.

It's not bad. Very soft and pretty thick. I used it to hold my 3DS for a long time and protect it from scratches/scuffs. I still keep it around and use it to hold my 3DS when I toss it into my backpack.

we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.
I received my bag and was a little disappointed with the quality. It's pretty small and thin and about as barebones as a bag could possibly be. I was hoping for some structure built into it and maybe some internal/external pockets. It's basically just a thin piece of fabric folded in half and sewn up on the sides. I guess I can't complain though because it was free and Nintendo didn't have to offer any of this stuff. Also I don't regret getting it because it's an exclusive item and I'll be able to buy games any old time.

Re: DS game case price drop.

Nintendo Support Rep posted:

Hello Alex,

Thanks for contacting us. I can certainly understand your interest in having your Club Nintendo Coins refunded to your account. I will be happy to document your feedback regarding this new change in our Club Nintendo program.

Unfortunately, we are not able to refund the Coins to your Club Nintendo account. I know that this is not the answer you were hoping for, but as we state in the Club Nintendo Terms of Service, we may change the Club Nintendo catalog at any time--including the Coin prices for different Rewards.

Since the Club Nintendo program is ending soon (7/1/15), we want to encourage everyone to use up their Club Nintendo Coins before it is too late. Lowering the Reward prices gives more people a chance to find something that they want.

Since the physical Rewards are available only in limited quantities, it is a good idea to place your order as soon as possible (rather than waiting to see if the cost goes down at some point). That way, you can make sure the item you want doesn't go out of stock. Once an item is sold out, it will not become available again.

Thank you for understanding, and for being a loyal Club Nintendo member.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.
Lorenzo Wilcox

Hello!
The two game cases I ordered two months ago still have not shipped, but the coin prices have dropped. May I please have the 200 coin difference refunded to my account so that I can get Super Mario World for my Wii U?
Thank you!

Oh, well. It was worth a shot. :v:
It really would have cost them essentially nothing to grant my request. I wasn't expecting anything more than a "tough luck" response, but it'd have been nice.

NCL just released a new 3DS Pushmo game out of nowhere! "Hiku Dasu: Hippa Land", a "free-to-start" game that gives you 7+ (not 20+, misread) stages for free and makes you buy the rest. The first 100 courses cost 500yen, and there are three additional 50-course packs for 300yen each, You can buy everything in a bundle for 1000yen, and buying everything unlocks some super-hard challenge levels.There are lots of new gimmicks and each of the four packs has a different playable character with its own theme - bandana pushmo guy has enemies and a speedrun timer and plays more like an action game, old man pushmo guy's stages are all based on sprites from Famicom games, etc. The level editor is back, too, but you need all the level packs to use all the features, obviously.

It looks like the US name for it could be Stretchmo, based on a picture of a japanese miiverse community I saw elsewhere on the internet.

Which makes me wonder what the PAL name would be. Stretchblox sounds weird, and they've never kept the same sort of name between NA and PAL.

Well, the current yen-to-dollar ratio would put a literal translation of the price at roughly $8.40 - smack dab between the price of Pushmo on the 3DS and the Price of Pushmo on Wii U. So who knows?
