So reports are that it's going to be the 60hz version of F-Zero that hits PAL Wii U Virtual Console this month. I really didn't expect anything but it looks like the complaining might have paid off? Here's hoping this becomes standard in the future of the service.

Commissar Ken posted:Gunman Clive is another western themed game this time a sort of Mega Man clone straight down to those stupid little 5 shot turrets. Has a lot of little nods to other games and a bunch of fun boss fights. Also lets you play as an unarmed duck and try to cross levels. Best 2 buck game I ever played. Has a cool thing where you can play as the damsel and rescue Clive instead, too. Very fun game, bit short but good value considering the low price.

Reading up a bit on the PAL conversion of Kirby and found the following:quote:In the PAL version, the music is identical to the NTSC version, with correct pitch and tempo. The main game engine seems to run with the regulat 17% slowdown, but the odd thing is that Kirby still moves with the same speed as he does in the NTSC version (in other words, Kirby is faster relative to everything else). So yeah, while it's better than the standard PAL slowness, they should just be putting the US version up.

Expecting prices to match the slightly-lower-than-Wii currency-adjusted prices featured on the 3DS eShop here in Australia, which basically means $6.50 instead of $7.50. Still, a dollar is a nice little saving, especially if they're actually going to be giving us the 60hz version of games. Interested in seeing the adjusted SNES/N64/etc prices.

No mention of being American versions of Mega Man or Pac Man in the press release, either. Guess we're back to good ol' 50hz goodness.

greatn posted:The Sonic Gamegear games were just the Sega Master System Sonic games weren't they? Yep. Apart from Blast, the others are decent enough. The Game Gear versions are just crippled by the claustrophobic field of view (and the messed up first boss in Sonic 2, which is fine in the MS version).

Anyone have any impressions on the second Dillon game? Is it just more in the same mold of the first? Never played the original but am tempted to grab the sequel while it's under ten Ausland Funbux.

With Shantae out of the way, we can move on to hoping for Bionic Commando: Elite Forces, Dragon Quest 1&2, Dragon Quest 3 and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. Not that those are anywhere near Shantae money, I just want them on Virtual Console.

Being optimistic, its slipping in there could be an indicator that it's not too far away, though. Or maybe someone just hates us. Man, Shantae and Earthbound would've been an amazing one-two punch of a VC week. e: So, uh. Huh. Still not up here in Australia though.

Street Gangs' listing says you can play two players using Download Play with a single copy of the game. That's pretty cool. Anyone taken the punt to confirm if it's 50hz or not?

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Dudes, note the Monster Hunter sale - 50% off on both platforms in both regions for a few days ($30 on WU and $20 on 3DS, I guess). I guess $40 Ausland Funbux for the Wii U version is okay considering the $64(OGS)-$74(local) the physical copies are still selling for. Probably won't pick it up, though. Spent about that much on the original Tri Classic Controller Pro bundle and didn't really get in to it.

Demo means eShop listing for the game which means we finally have an Australian price for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies: $39.95 Little higher than I would've liked but lower than they could've tried to jam us with so I'll probably cop it anyway.

Nah, just not on our store. I'd heard you couldn't just change regions on Wii U like on 3DS so I didn't try that, but realised after that it meant you need to make a Nintendo Network account for that region after switching the system settings so I'm trying now. Fingers crossed. e: Actually, can't see it on UK eShop either. It is on their New Releases listing though, unlike ours. Dated the 4th though, and the Miiverse community isn't up yet either, so I guess it's a late/special release, like Earthbound or a retail title.

Yeah I turned on my 3DS this morning and my ambassador Super Mario Bros. had disappeared, what the hell Nintendo. Oh wait no it's still there and I still didn't pay for it so other people being able to buy it or redeem Club Nintendo credit for it doesn't affect me in any way just like it didn't when it was first added to the eShop for regular sale.

Yeah, definitely gonna grab SteamWorld Dig now. Thought it looked pretty cool before, have to get it while it's on sale. Urban Champion can gently caress itself, but Clu Clu Land is pretty cool. Not something I'd buy now, but I played it a fair bit in Animal Crossing.

The 3D Classics version of Kirby's Adventure is pretty much the definitive version of vanilla Kirby's Adventure (the extra definitive version being Nightmare in Dreamland of course) since it got rid of all the slowdown from the game. There is literally zero reason for anyone that "didn't give a poo poo" about the 3D Classic to buy a Virtual Console version. e: except that it'd be a few bucks cheaper, I guess?

Crawfish posted:Some of us just prefer the original software? Sure, but this isn't like Kirby's Adventure vs Nightmare in Dreamland or Mega Man X vs Maverick Hunter X or whatever. Put the 3D slider off and it is the exact same game as a Virtual Console release would be, slowdown aside.

There's some neat stuff in the most recent update for animu fans (Do You Remember Love!) but since I don't actually know any Japanese I never really understood the "Japanese songs when??" some people elsewhere had going on every week since launch when it came to the library updates.

I bought 3D Sonic the Hedgehog. I didn't really need a millionth copy of Sonic the Hedgehog but how could I not when it was right there It's pretty much a perfect replication of the game and the 3D is nice if subtle (expected I suppose, given the nature of it; like 3D Classics Kirby's Adventure). Still disappointed it doesn't have Tails and Knuckles playable like the mobile version but proper controls make it much more playable than that.

Ahahaha, those Nintendogs prices. I mean Nintendogs is great for what it is, and I could see the benefit of digital as a "load up now and again" title for people that don't like switching carts but those were launch games, no? Carts are around for much less than that nowadays.

Champeenship posted:Nintendo has a stated policy of wanting to keep digital copies at the same price as RRP and not wanting them to "deflate". It's the reason I think NOA removed Nintendoland from the eShop after the price cut, as they didn't want to be seen cutting digital prices at all (Reminder: Nintendo is bad at internet). Yeah, I get that, and I've often said as such to people complaining about stuff being sold at RRP. That makes sense for simultaneous digital releases or things hitting the eShop not long after it hits shelves. But Nintendogs + Cats is the better part of three years old and basically nowhere is still selling it for RRP. It's just nuts.
