RMZXAnarchy posted:Those were some fun levels right there, like how they merged 1-1 and 1-2 from SMB into the first stage, loved the little secrets in the SMB 3 stage, Though found it wierd that the castle had a warp pipe to NSMB2 1-1 filled with gold coin blocks. Would've liked seeing a different retro stage honestly. They really are a ton of fun. Though the 30,000 coin limit can easily be reached by getting 4,000 coins in World 1 which is quite easy once you do a couple run throughs and find all the secrets, which gets doubled to 8K, 16K and then 32K which is rounded down to 30K. I still got to 30K missing the Flagpole doubler on World 1 too.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:I assume he's talking about the Wii U eShop, and/or he's looking for the Runner 2 demo. Yup... well the demo was on the PS3 store so I'll just play that. Why can't the eShop just have a demo section in the same place every week?

Artix posted:Demos are always with the game itself. There's a button on the store page to download the demo. So if you want the demo for Runner 2, just go to Runner 2's store page and (I think) scroll down to the bottom. It doesn't have a demo apparently, but it does on the PSN. I was going to play the demo just on the Gamepad. The dedicated demos section seems to come and go from the main page, it's kind of annoying. That is all.

Laser Spider posted:This month's Club Nintendo reward games are up. 150 coins each for 3D Classics: Kid Icarus, Starship Defense, Mario Tennis (N64 VC), and Super Punch-Out!! (SNES VC). 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

Revol posted:Why are people going to pay $8 for an old SNES game, when they can buy new games on their cell phone, which usually have better graphics and newer gameplay, for only a dollar? Or, when it's so damned easy to just download the ROM? I have Super Mario World on my iPhone! Because I can't buy Super Mario World for $1 on my smart phone? Comparing SMW to a $1 smart phone game is like comparing a $1500 Macbook Air to a lovely $300 Dell laptop. Yes, they are both computers, but one clearly has better quality than the other.

Revol posted:All I'm trying to say is... if the consumer has the option between a $1 Angry Birds game or an $8 Mario game, they're likely to choose Angry Birds. But if that Mario game is instead $3, I think Nintendo is going to sell a lot more of the game, and make more money in the end. Its priced the way it is for a good reason. If they made SMW only $1 it would get a lot more sales for sure, but 8x as many sales? Actually they had to sell 9x as many copies to make a bigger profit. I'd honestly still buy just as many VC games as I do now if the price was lower. Having looked at my play history on my Wii and seeing games I paid $5-$8 for that I only played for less than half an hour makes me really consider all my purchases.

Nonsense posted:I'm unsure if its more appropriate to ask here, but I just received DKCR in the mail today. I wanted to register and add it to my Club Nintendo coins. I reached platinum a few days ago though, and have 350 coins as of now. Should I wait until the roll over, or is it safe to go ahead and add coins now even though I've reached platinum? After I reach platinum I hold off on registering all games until after the Club Nintendo year rolls over July 1st. But I always seem to have at least half a dozen codes ready to enter July 1st. One year I even reached platinum on July 1st.

So how long do you have to take the Post Play survey on eShop Downloads for coins? Want to get the Zelda Oracle games, but I reached Elite for the year. I don't NEED them immediately, but would love to take advantage of having the coins go towards 2014 and getting the sale.

irlZaphod posted:It's honestly ridiculous that the Wii VC library didn't carry over to the WiiU. I have no idea what kind of voodoo magic they need to so to get them as a WiiU VC title, but at least you can play them in Wii Mode immediately which is a step up above PS4 and Xbox which will have zero backwards compatibility.

RMZXAnarchy posted:Since they're still releasing games on there (They're all Neo-Geo games lately but the point still stands), I take it that the Wii Shop will stay up, at least until the Wii is discontinued. And even then it'll probably remain up until Nintendo decides to remove Wii functionality from Wii U systems (Which hopefully they won't do.) It would be pretty lovely if they took down the Wii Shop Channel, especially considering their whole work around to their small as hell internal storage was to simply redownload stuff off the shop when you want to play it. I would imagine that shutting down the shop would cause a fair amount of people to lose purchases that they simply could not fit onto internal storage.

I have 50 coins expiring tonight... oh well, nothing I really want in the shop, would rather hoard them for more VC titles. I think I might have enough coins to go gold for sure, maybe platinum if I ender all my codes tomorrow.

The T posted:Likewise for the Oracle games and I'm guessing Shantae not having their GBA features. (Oracle games have 2 extra shops; Shantae had a slightly updated graphic mode and a few extra abilities I think?) I'm not even positive on if Shantae doesn't have them, but I don't see why it would if the Oracle games don't. I completely forgot about the GBA Shop. Now I'm remember the mystery locked shop.

Zaphod42 posted:Remember, Earthbound was unique in that the game was sold in a huge box that included the guide with it. So it wasn't even like some add-on thing. That's pretty awesome. That always initially put me off to the game. As a kid I imagine a game so difficult that they had to include a players guide with it. Then I rented it and did pretty well on my own without the guide so I decided to get it. Then realized that now that I had the guide I kept looking at it the whole time and probably ruined the game for me.

ookiimarukochan posted:I went through 4 or 5 Nintendo Zone hot spots (lots of chain coffee shops / pubs!) a few hours ago and not one street pass! I hope that it's just that I was just the first person in my area to be out and about with updated firmware, and not that this is going to be some sort of weird complex cluster-gently caress of a thing to do (but with Nintendo, going by past performance who knows?) Same here, I walked past two, one of which was immediately next to an exit of a train so it should have heavy foot traffic. My iPhone connected to the AT&T Wifi so I'm assuming my 3DS did too, no street pass. Well maybe I'm the first to hit those relay stations... Also, took me until E5 Paranormal Chaos in Luigi's Mansion to finally feel challenged in the game. What a fun level though.

Pyrovile posted:It's really weird that they are releasing three versions of Street Fighter 2 at the same time and having a buy two get one free promotion on them. I remember being pissed as a kid getting Street Fighter 2 Turbo and then a few months later they came out with Super Street Fighter 2 with 4 more characters. I am sure there is some purist out there that must insist on playing the original. Fighting game fans are weird like that.

Thus getting stuff physically is cheaper for me, mainly because I get stuff Tax and Shipping free with Amazon. I forget what Zip Code I put in, but I don't get taxed or anything... Nintendo's eShop does it by what zip code you chose rather than billing address which is kind of nice.

RMZXAnarchy posted:That must only work with pre-paids as with my Credit card it doesn't accept the zipcode if the billing address doesn't match the location of the zipcode. I'm pretty sure I put my actual credit card info into the eShop. But I do primarily buy the eShop cards at Best Buy. That way I get Best Buy Rewards, Gamers Club Rewards, Credit Card Rewards, and then the 10% back by buying through the eShop. Comes out to like 16% back.

Sarchasm posted:Chris Kohler at Wired had a really good take on this: The digital version isn't two weeks early, the retail version is two weeks late. It's going to be on shelves when Nintendo gets the goods pressed, assembled, and shipped. Their first retail commitment that month is to the Wii U Zelda bundle, and everything else becomes secondary. I bet he also would say that Nintendo is charging a $30 premium for Wii Fit on a disc..

Yeah, running the GBA Ambassador Titles disables things like street pass if you have them open, so the emulators could use a lot of work.

With the simplicity of the game, and the focus on microtransactions... it seems like it's marketed towards younger kids that will actually enjoy it, but can't be played unless an adult approved of every single microtransaction.
