I can do the first boss in Sonic 2 on the Master System with my drat eyes closed but I've never cleared it on the Game Gear version.

I stumbled up the Yumeria anime years ago. So I just barely recognized Neneko though I could not remember from were until I looked her up.

Wow if you're going to something like Yumeria to flesh out your roster then things are really getting bad.

I heard that the VC Earthbound is a perfect port- no music has been removed due to copyright. Did they even change Pokey's name to Porky?

Nope, it's Pokey.

For some reason I bought Xevious on the 3DS eShop a couple of days ago and I'm kinda surprised by how much I've been playing it. Are there any similar games I could buy? I was thinking of getting TwinBee next.

Also it is insane how catchy Xevious' three seconds of constantly looping music is

E: Thanks!
vvvvvvvvvv

Xevious really is one of those shooters I should grab for portable play. You should also check out Star Parodius on the Wii VC which is based off Twinbee but with the weird cranked way up.

I really want the iPhone ports of Kenta Cho's shooters to come to Wii U.

Flipnote 3D is available on the JP 3DS eShop right now! Nintendo Japan released a Nintendo Direct Mini that covers the interface and all the new/improved tools, as well as the differences between the free and paid online services:

It'll be out in NA/PAL-land next week, assuming NOA/NOE sticks to their own schedule.

EDIT: while I'm here... NA is getting Picross e2 tomorrow, and both regions are getting Picross e3 next month.

Thank god, I just finished up e1's puzzles and was getting the shakes.

Something the first person fighting has really made me want now is the Phantasy Star games on the Wii U VC. I wasn't a fan of it for a long time but when you really adjust to it it's great not having to sit through all kinds of animations and having the battles go faster.

Not often, and I've only seen it on third party titles. I've only seen three retail titles go on sale - Soul Hackers, RE: Revelations, and currently Code of Princess.

In Europe Virtue's Last Reward got a permanent price cut, and older games tend to have a lower price when they're first put onto the eShop. Hence Bit.Trip Saga for £18.

If I were to buy one of the Game Gear Sonic games, what'd be my best option?

Buy something else. And I say that as someone who loves both Master System Sonic games. They tried to use too big a sprite so you can barely see poo poo coming up ahead. If you are dead set on a Game Gear Sonic though Triple Trouble is probably the "best".

So if I have BoF3 on the Wii VC and haven't played it yet should I rock through that when I have some free time and not worry about BoF2, because everyone seems to be saying it's the better game. Or at least that 2 has some pretty big problems.

BoF3 was a Playstation game so there is no way you have it on Wii VC.

Huh, I know I have a BoF game on Wii VC. I figured it couldn't be 2 because a game that was on Wii VC and is coming to Wii U VC really isn't that big an announcement.

ROTK4/Galaga are both the US versions. Incidentally, I don't think ROTK4 was ever released on the PAL Wii VC, which if I'm not mistaken makes it the first third-party Wii U VC release that isn't a retread of something from the old catalogue.

It wasn't, what is it?

I had no idea Splinter Cell was coming out this week. Please, please be good. How could the series go so far downhill after Chaos Theory? I really want a new Splinter Cell that's good!

At least color me surprised that they actually cut ten dollars of the price since they didn't include coop mode.

It's apparently quite good, like they went back to the Chaos Theory notes and went from there.

Are you limited to the orignal GameBoy buttons, or does the VC emulation allow you to map the flippers to the 3DS shoulder buttons? That would be neat.

I think on the VC you can map the buttons to whatever you want on a game by game basis.

Maybe you just have to have it connected. The system knows what controllers are connected.

Yeah Wii Fit won't function without the board, so you'll likely be able to download it and start it but not actually do anything. However for right now it's not too difficult to get a balance board for cheap.
