It'll be interesting to see how those features will be implemented. Wii U is probably a-ok, but the 3DS would probably be a bit trickier.

I really like those changes. I've felt odd posting my "play journals" to Miiverse, as it feels a bit spammy in a place where people might be talking or sharing cool pics. It's nice as I'll want to browse drawing sections, look at my friends play journals, and probably ignore discussions.

Nah, Ocarina is great, but if you are a Nintendo person, you probably already have it on N64, Gamecube, Wii VC, and 3DS. It's a fine game, but I don't need it in another form.

Edit: And that's the only game worth getting in this week's update, including the sales.

Edit2: I take that back, Ace Attorney sales are good.

One Nation, Under God.
Someone asked about Virtual Console at Nintendo's last investors' meeting; here's the translated Q&A:

quote:

I am happy to hear that “Splatoon” for Wii U, a new software title that is not part of a series, was so well-received that it reached 1 million units in sales. I would like to ask how big the Virtual Console business sales are. Also, I would like to request that you make all titles available for purchase at any time. Sometimes there are titles which go out of service, and I would like to know if a system in which all titles are available for purchase at any time can continue or not.


Iwata:

As some of you may have seen the TV commercials we have been airing recently, “Splatoon” is a brand-new title and not a title from an established series. It has a very unique and fantasy-like setting. This game, inspired by squid squirting out ink, is played by human-shaped characters with squid-like features shooting, instead of squirting, ink at each other, and the team that paints the widest area in its team color wins. Having received high recognition from our consumers for its novelty, this title’s sell-through sales reached 1 million units in less than a month from its release. We feel very grateful for this, since our view was not so optimistic prior to release, for it being a non-series title.

Regarding your question on the scale of Virtual Console title sales, the download sales as a whole for this (75th) fiscal year are 31.3 billion yen, and I have shared publicly that this is a 30 percent increase from the last fiscal year, but we have not disclosed the individual sales of Virtual Console titles only.

Virtual Console itself is a service that began when we developed Wii so that consumers can play past titles on new platforms, and we continue to distribute various titles now. However, back when we started this service, there were some points that we could not sufficiently foresee about how big this business would grow to be and how the business would expand. For example, Virtual Console titles are generally developed based on the original game software, but this does not mean that we can develop numerous Virtual Console titles simply if we have the original game software. Development of Virtual Console titles require detailed manual work, such as testing if the software runs smoothly on each platform, or making sure the content is appropriate under the various standards currently in place. Thus, we occasionally receive opinions that our pace of releasing new Virtual Console titles is slow, but if we use much of our human resources on such detailed manual work, we would not be able to develop new titles, so we are currently researching how we can efficiently develop Virtual Console titles with limited human resources. One of the big issues for our system development is how to resolve the situation in which we can only release a few Virtual Console titles at a time when we release new platforms.

In addition, regarding the possibility of making all titles available on Virtual Console, I can say that it is possible for Nintendo titles with a few exceptions, since we generally have the intellectual property rights for such titles. However, as to third-party software publishers’ titles, if they are producing the software based on a license from another copyright holder, for example, we may not be able to easily use the same title for the system that exists now because we do not have a license from the copyright holder at the time. This often becomes a problem with reruns of TV shows or Internet broadcasting. Therefore, since we can only release Virtual Console titles of third-party software publishers if they come to an agreement with the copyrights holders upon negotiating terms and conditions that were not included in their original contract, please understand that there are some titles that we cannot easily release despite many requests. We will make our best efforts to satisfy our consumers with our Virtual Console title lineup.

No real revelations there, but at least someone asked.

Some other dude asked why they weren't releasing more figures of the girls from the Pokemon anime.

Is anyone having trouble with the WiiU eShop? Both last night and tonight I either haven't been able to access it at all, or it has been really slow. Everything else seems fine, I haven't tried any games online but I was just watching something on Netflix, and last night I was on Miiverse and it was speedy.

I bought that Mercenaries Saga 2 game that came out on the 3ds eshop today, it might secretly be a really good game. Its a really shameless ripoff/loving homage to Final Fantasy Tactics for $5, character advancement might not be as deep but everything about the battle mechanics and presentation are lifted straight outta FFT. From the same developer that made Adventure Bar Story which is similarly good.

I guess it also extends to preorders for games that aren't out yet? (Starfox Zero, Mario Maker, Zelda U, Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer, Xenoblade X, Devil's Third, Brain Training 3DS)

They also have Mario Kart 7 for 25EUR: http://www.gamesrocket.de/kaufen/Mario-Kart-7-Nintendo-3DS.html
