Got an email for this new offer. Add $100 to your Wii U eShop account, get additional $10 credit (or add $50-$99.99 in funds to get $5). http://club2.nintendo.com/rebate/?om_rid=AAB3hV&om_mid=_BR7atjB80DAWB9&eid=EM10116#.Ue2vQY2shQY

That a pretty nice deal if you got a deluxe, as you get the amount again when you spent the wallet funds.

What did you expect from NoA? Quality releases on time?

I mean poo poo, we got Kid Icarus two weeks later than Europe did so we didn't even get that "Buy Kid Icarus or Metroid get the other 50% off" deal (Not that I need to buy Metroid again, I've already got it on my 3DS and don't feel any reason to get it on my Wii U as well.)

Or the fact we still don't have Warioland 3. NoA sucks for the most part, ugh.

Hope this and Secret of Mana/Final Fantasy VI get here soon. I know the later two just shown up over in Japan recently, so barring another Kirby Dreamland 2 long hiatus, it shouldnt take too long for Square to put those out. I just want some more RPGs to play.

That's kinda weird. Are they skipping the first game?

I think the reason why Breath of Fire 1 isn't coming (it was skipped over on the Wii as well) is because in the US it got published by Square back on the SNES.

The only Breath of Fire game I've played is Dragon Quarter, is BoF2 worth getting excited for?

Breath of Fire 2 was quite good but it suffers from a really bad translation. That said, it's the very first JRPG with the evil religion as it's plotline.

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.

It was Breath of Fire 2. Capcom tends to announce their releases in advance like the Megaman entries.

So Aksys said they fixed the save bug in the 3DS eShop version of Virtue's Last Reward - see this post on the comments section of their Facebook page:

Can anyone that bought the digital version confirm this?

From people in the 3DS thread mentioned, they just flat out disable saving in the puzzle rooms. :effort:

All that's missing on the US eShop update for today is that US also gets the three Final Fights for the SNES on the Wii U.

There's also a special deal: Buy any Final Fight, and you'll get 50% off your purchase of another fighting game, like Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting. This offer is good til 10/10/2013.

Edit: Oh! Also, Witch & Hero has a demo up on the 3DS eShop now.

Wouldn't mind doing that deal to get Final Fight 2 and 3 since I already have the excellent arcade version of the original on XBLA.

Mercury Crusader posted:

The first game, from what I can tell, was just Capcom trying to shove as much poo poo into the smallest/cheapest cartridge they could, what with it being the early days of the SNES and all. It's alright, but the other two are better. Final Fight 2 is arguably better than Final Fight 3. While Final Fight 3 has more features, it's also way too easy, even at the hardest difficulty setting. It's pretty much the opposite of Streets of Rage 2 versus Streets of Rage 3, where SoR3 had more going for it but was unnecessarily difficult.

Also if you got a PS3 or XBox 360, get the Final Fight Double Impact release for $10 then grab Final Fight 2 and 3. The Double Impact release has the arcade version with none of the changes the SNES version suffered from, like the removal of Guy, the changing of Poison to some generic guy, and the removal of Rolento's stage.

So just a heads up with regards to the Final Fight deal, you can't use it to get the other Final Fight games. I grabbed 2 for the hell of it, and 1 and 3 aren't discounted - only the Street Fighter 2 games.

That sucks. That must be a glitch, since on the page it seems to indicate all six of those games can be discounted.

NA dudes, note the Resident Evil sale - all those games are worth owning, and the 3DS versions in particular are must-haves at that price.

(Next week's spoooooooooky Wii U VC game is Super Castlevania 4, as far as I can tell.)

I would love a updated version of Super Castlevania. I loved the Metroidvania ones a lot, but always a sucker for this game. Helps it has some kickass music for a launch title for the SNES.

Does Metroid on the virtual console have some sort of saving mechanism besides the passwords? I have a copy for the nes but I hate the password system.

I played through the original Metroid on the 3DS and do indeed have a save state option in the menu along with suspend play.

Well its no surprise Megaman week was going to be "Lets just discount the NES games, releasing new games what is this nonsense :downs:", but they don't even bother to include 5/6 and the one gameboy game on the 3DS? Or X? Hell why not put more games out (Like X2 or those GB games we were promised ages ago) at an introductory sale price or something.

This Character week thing is turning out to be a load of poo poo if its just gonna be discounts on games almost everybody owns a copy of now or only discounts of NES games which is what its looking to be (Save for Links Awakening on 3DS but that's the only exception so far.)

Doesn't help the discounts are so minor. If they were a $1.50 or so I would grab the ones I don't have, but since it only a $.150 off the base price, I just skip the sale. Also why release Megaman X2 when you get Brawl Brothers a game I literally never heard of, and I grew up on the SNES!

For each of these "character weeks", there's been at least one new game they could have added to the VC and didn't. They could have put up LttP for Zelda, SMB3 for Mario, MMX2 for Megaman, and a DKC game for Donkey Kong. It makes no sense not to have done so.

It's baffling the way they turned on the tap for VC games for a little while, then cranked it back down to a drip.

Even more so compared to the Wii, where it had three games per week for a year, where the WiiU just has one or no games. You figured they would speed it up to help sales.

I'm out of the loop but is the 3DS ever going to get GBA emulation? I still have the cart and a working GBASP but I'd love to play Aria of Sorrow again, it's probably my favorite Castlevania title.

While the 3DS isn't looking to get a GBA emulator soon, The WiiU is getting one and Aria of Sorrow is one of the first titles coming out for it. A shame they can't get the GBA emulator improved, since it would be nice to get a updated version of the Ambassador games I have, since while they play perfectly fine (played the entirely of Fire Emblem Sacred Stones on the 3DS), the lack of save states and even suspend wasn't so fun.

Anyone have any luck downloading the season pass for Mario Golf 3DS? I bought it using the bonus from the digial deluxe program after getting Mario Kart 8. I will try downloading it, but it will hit 16% then stall for a minute before giving me error code 009-2913. It has the useless "turn off your firewall" instruction, but kinda curious if it errors because the last DLC isn't out yet.

I and several other goons of the mario golf thread have bought the season pass and successfully downloaded only the first DLC. Then when the second came out I downloaded that one too, although it was a pain to make it realize it had to update. So you should be able to download what's out so far.

Maybe try downloading just the packs that are out, instead of the whole thing? I can't remember which part I downloaded. If it tries to charge you then just back out, but hopefully it shouldn't.

Yeah that's what I am probably going to do. Thankfully I already saw on the download page the other packs are listed as "redownload". Hope the Roselia map comes out soon so I can not only get that, but also get Gold Mario.
