Miyamotos RGB NES posted:Kirby though? What the hell? It looks like they just used an NES emulator. It even has the stupid 4:3 border. The 3-d is almost non-existent, too. However, the odd thing is that it doesn't appear to be emulated, because the sprites are razor-sharp. This is a stark contrast to all the NES Virtual Console games which in my opinion have very ugly upscaling filters on them. Apparently it's because the NES was already ten years old when the game came out. Wikipedia posted:IGN remarked that "by 1993, the programmers of the world had learned how to unleash every last ounce of power hidden inside the original Nintendo system. Kirby's Adventure was one of those late-generation games, and probably the best of them". The game features special visual effects, pseudo-3D backgrounds (including towers that appear to rotate in three dimensions) and parallax scrolling. At 6 Megabit, it was one of the largest games ever released for the NES; even so, it did not use Nintendo's most powerful mapper chip, the MMC5, but rather the older, more common, and less expensive MMC3.

I've heard that although Nintendo owns the rights to the Donkey Kong franchise, the games have to be continually relicensed to be on the Wii Virtual Console. Since the Wii U eShop is a new platform, it would require a new license, so the license for DKC on the old Wii Shop Channel could have been allowed to expire. The DKC trilogy was pulled on the day of the Wii U launch in NA, and five days before the EU launch, so this makes sense, doesn't it?

No one is privvy to the reasons, or can say for sure what happened, but we can use inductive reasoning to postulate that Rare, as the developer, is entitled to royalties, and that these involve a license to distribute.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:(or at least a port of that version with the NES limitations intact) Technical limitations at least. Pretty sure political limitations at Nintendo would never have allowed running people over in cars in those days (despite the presence of Chiller, but that was more removed from everyday reality than this).

It's a US 3DS I've got, so I'd hope it would work, but are there any IP address shenanigans I should know about? Thanks for any advice. A NA points card will work on a NA unit wherever you are, yeah.

Astro7x posted:drat, maybe I should reconsider getting VC titles until the WiiU VC service starts. I just have a feeling all this stuff is going to be offered again at some point as a Wii U VC title and I won't have to pay the upgrade fee if I just wait it out The two handheld games won't be. The only handheld games the Wii U VC is getting are GBA games.

Since the eShop doesn't accept foreign credit cards, I'm looking for ways to get US eShop funding codes online. The ones I have found are: thecardcloset.com pcgamesupply.com maximuscards.com The Card Closet has the cheapest at $54 for $50 of credit. That's not bad but are there any cheaper methods?

elf help book posted:
My confusion came from thinking you had to get gold status every month to receive games. I didn't realise that you only needed that for the rewards at the end of the Nintendo year. I'm not sure it's still limited to one game a month though? I just redeemed a reward game, I'm viewing a second at the moment and it's not giving any warning that I couldn't obtain it.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:You could have just used your Aussie Wii U to buy at EU prices and saved almost the same amount without having to own two consoles, but whatever. That's what I was doing, the difference still isn't negligible. I also wanted the superior Club Nintendo treatment with the free games and everything. Economically, it was worth switching over as soon as possible for the long run.

There's nothing new to announce regarding the VC. NES, SNES and GBA games, button configuration, gamepad play, that's all there is to it. Unless they're announcing unexpected games that have never been on the service before.

Balcony posted:The European Club Nintendo is now letting you register things you've downloaded from the eshop. You just have to fill in a short* survey for 50 stars. This includes free downloads such as Nintendo Video (3DS) and the freemium TANK TANK TANK (wii U). So you can download these with no intention of playing them and get free stars. However, in typical Nintendo fashion some games I have actually paid for can't be registered e.g. Zen Pinball 3D can't be registered, whereas Marvel Pinball 3D and Zen Pinball 2 (Wii U) can. Still, I've just got easily another 500 stars closer to that classic SNES controller. Just got a bunch of stars doing this, thanks.

Will it still be linked if I change to another region (Alberta, Canada for instance) or will I have to change it back to the original to get the coins and whatnot? Assuming you're in the US, it should still be linked because the US and Canada share the same Club Nintendo.
