(because DLC means digitally licensed content and by opting in you create the license whereas there is no license for a patch/update)

You know it's true and a real thing because when you Google "digitally licensed content" you get hundreds of results. Hundreds!

DLC is a weird concept anyway....does it still count as "DLC" if it gets bundled into a retail collection? (A Game of the Year version, for example) If you buy a physical copy of a GOTY edition of a game, it doesn't come with any DLC because none of it is downloaded. But it was download exclusive at one point, before the bundling. Honestly, going back to calling things "expansion packs" makes a lot more sense because that name doesn't have anything to do with the method of acquisition.

Here's a trailer for the smartphone version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ_lLZU1wKs

Why do they need a publisher to put an eshop game in the eshop exactly?

(Sony's basically the same way, but I don't think MS gives a gently caress.) EDIT: Rive and Affordable Space Adventures found a JP publisher, too.

So uh, has anyone tried the new Senran Kagura game? I'm interested to know your take on it, especially if you've played the first.

The mechanics are really tightened up compared to the first requiring more mastery of the engine and the tag mechanic adds a lot to the battles. Then you have actual boss fights and cutscenes with some fun side modes. Plus there's even online or local coop if you want it. Overall, it's a much more fully realized and solid package even if the brawling mechanics aren't as tight as other action games. I like this review a lot: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/i-played-senran-kagura-2-in-public-and-didnt-get-arrested The guy is so frustrated in how much he's enjoying the game despite how objectionable he finds the fan service elements.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. Now I'm wondering why I can't delete Fantasy Life--which I have a digital copy of--while preserving the save data. It won't let me do a backup, and other sites and posts say things like "It's just one of those games, like Animal Crossing, that won't let you backup save data." But the 3DS let me back up the save data as I deleted it.  When I go to delete Fantasy Life, it just says "You're going to lose the game AND the save data." Is there any way around this?

Yeah, you'll be fine. Apparently, Fantasy Life saves directly to the SD card in all cases. It puts the save data in the extra data file, so leave that alone. People really had some issues with it because the save is tied to your console and can't be moved around even in physical copies.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Nintendo UK is now selling digital games on GMG: http://blog.playfire.com/2015/09/1-up-green-man-gaming-to-sell-nintendo.html Somewhat surprising. GMG can be incredibly lovely sometimes, like with the whole playfire thing, bad refunds policy, crappy discount/credit system (if you have any credit on the site for any reason, it won't let you use it on a game with a discount code) and recently there was the whole Witcher 3 thing. I would have thought a company like Nintendo would shy away from someone with all that. Edit: http://www.greenmangaming.com/nintendo/#b And with the same inflated digital prices who do they think is going to buy them? Kin fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Sep 19, 2015 |

Does the 20-something percent off code on GMG work with Nintendo games? That might bring them down to slightly more reasonable prices.

The GMG Nintendo link doesn't even load for me. It brings up a GMG page with a header and footer but no actual content in between. I guess it checks your IP's geolocation?
