My console froze up when I exited the Rayman Legends app.

@PixelatedPixie Agreed. ^_^

So a couple questions...
(1) Do you think the discount will apply here in North America?
and
(2) is the discount applicable to those who bought Kirby's Adventure through the 30-cent promo?

My cousin and I still play the heck out of this one. It's an awesome one for sure.

@GN004Nadleeh The price of New Super Luigi U is reasonable--it's content that gives pretty much the entire game a visual and gameplay overhaul. I'd rather pay $19.99 for that than a $15 DLC that adds a few maps to [insert shooter of choice here].

And just because the hardware isn't as good, doesn't mean we don't have the right to enjoy and appreciate what the console has to offer. As for the ports... I won't lie, they're sorta tiresome. The only port I'll find myself going back to is Darksiders 2. Other than that and Arkham City Armored Edition most of them seem passable. But that's just me though.

If it gets a Wii U release and I like what I see, I'd definitely get it.

Just wait 'til EarthBound gets its re-release. hahah

I saw one post from someone saying Other M was their first Metroid game and Super Metroid disappoints them. While several other gamers were bashing the gamer for it, I was simply telling him "Dig a little deeper." I know it's important to not make fun of other gamers, but sometimes I wonder...

Down the road, this is definitely a possibility for me. It's a game I never played before, but it sounds and looks interesting enough.

I could see Dreamcast games coming to Wii U eShop in the future. It could happen. If Sony can make PS2 games available for download, I'm sure Nintendo could do the same with GameCube and even Dreamcast titles--and I'd welcome them completely! I had a Dreamcast for the longest time but I never got around to being able to find decent games for it, which is really a shame.

But anyways, I think this is a good sign of the Wii U's sales potential. I have a feeling that just like how Sonic the Hedgehog helped Sega move more Genesis consoles, Sega can use our blue hedgehog to move more Wii U consoles. I'll take whatever games I can get for the Wii U from Sega... unless it's anything like Aliens Colonial Marines. haha.

Gorgeous.

I've noticed a couple games have run a LOT better after the update, with Darksiders 2 and ZombiU being the biggest improvements. This news wouldn't surprise me at all.

Bring on the Revelations demo and 30-cent Super Metroid
[If I didn't already have Xevious in two different iterations (and more eShop credit) I'd download it]

Despite my reservations regarding Lego games and despite what I've heard regarding its load times, I decided to pick this up for my birthday yesterday, and I've been having a blast playing this! What an awesome game. Clever use of the GamePad, platforming that's easy to get into but hard to put down, and a brilliant sense of humor. Definitely a great game that every Wii U owner should play.

Am I the only one who thinks those characters look an awful lot like Booker and Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite?

Decided to download Maboshi's Arcade. It's actually pretty cool, but definitely intended for multiplayer.

I absolutely love Super Mario World. I'd be lying if I said any other game was my true favorite game of all-time. To this day, even after clearing it fully on the Wii U Virtual Console I still love going back to play again and again. And I'll admit, after clearing it out and defeating Bowser, I may have shed a nostalgic tear during the closing credits. Just a little one. Don't judge.

@andreoni79 Ouch.

Hey @andreoni79, I'll trade you a game code for one of those neato controllers! (j/k)

@andreoni79 Touché...

@andreoni79 You guys have the SNES Classic Controller though. That's awesome. Wish we had that here in the ol US of A :c

Yep, I downloaded it yesterday. Despite its repetitive nature, I do think it's a blast but I'm glad I don't have any obligation to pay for it. I probably will eventually add a mode or two though only because the 3-a-day restriction annoys me.

EDIT: Just completed the survey for Tank! Tank! Tank!, now I have 170 club points including the 20 I just added for VC titles. Yay. ^_^

BOB-OMB! hides for cover

Looking forward to downloading these

So glad this is going free-to-play.

@Joshers744 There's no time like the present. Not as good as its sequel, but still a fine game in its own right.

Mega Man first Then I'll give the free Tank Tank Tank a try. I certainly wouldn't pay the full price for it based on reviews.

I no longer own BO2 for Wii U, but when I did have it my go-to controller was the Wii U Pro Controller.

Kirby's Dream Course! I own the original cartridge but I'd love to have it on my Wii U.

I agree with most others here--I hope it's more like Generations. Absolutely loved that one.

If they do release it on Wii U, I'd definitely buy it on there instead of PS3.

I re-downloaded this last week since it was only a buck... let's just say I've obviously been playing a dramatically larger amount of Super Mario World than this. It's cool to have, but I agree with this review--the controls are frustrating.

The price tag is exactly what made me avoid downloading these, as cool as they sound. Maybe I'll try the Kyoto one out eventually, but for now I'm fine with Wii U Street

Considering I still haven't played Mother or Mother 3 (only Earthbound), I'm in no position to complain. I gotta play those other games first before focusing on a new installment. Here's to hoping those get released here and in Europe as well

For something that's free that offers new challenges everyday, IMO this is more than just modest compensation. It's doing its job; the app offers a free challenge mode, specifically to hold Wii U owners over until the game's release. While it won't be the only thing I play until its release, I know I'll be going back to this at least once every day to see where I stand and what's next!

Sure, the delay sucks, but I'm personally happy to have it.

@Erica_Hartmann It could be before that, they only said it'd be out BY the end of the year.

Then again, I could be wrong. :

Looks awesome! I'll probably get one as soon as I can. Ya never know, if I gotta go on a car trip and I know it'll be a long, boring ride I'll have my Wii U ready to go!

If you're still mad at Ubisoft over the Rayman delay, you owe it to yourself to download the Challenges App. It's absolutely amazing.

Pab, I definitely care! Being released a few weeks earlier than expected, count me in!

I don't like the sounds of this, but I hope they're onto something here.

@Shiryu YEEEEEEEAAAAH

Sounds like I'll get this once the online-with-friends issue gets fixed.

Not the best line-up to get things started, but I'm glad the VC is coming sooner instead of later. I'll probably re-download Super Mario World, because playing on the GamePad is awesome and I'm also curious to play it using my Pro Controller. Been playing Kirby's Adventure using that and it's surprisingly comfortable.

With that being said, bring on the N64 games. Considering that I'll be able to configure the controller to exactly my own play style, I can't wait to play Star Fox 64 again. I hated playing that classic with the Classic Controller, it didn't feel right at all and I kept messing up left and right.

They'll probably allow you to use your regular controllers, chill the heck out.

I'll just take the original Circle Pad Pro or XL one. These mods look awful.

I have the original cartridge, and I've been playing it again like crazy. Even though I already own it I'll still be re-purchasing the game, mainly because I'd love to see the other games in the Mother series eventually get official releases here.

I was under the impression that pretty much every VC game shown during the Nintendo Direct would be launching with the service tomorrow. If they only give us Excitebike tomorrow I'll be disappointed. :c

Rayman Legends Challenges app will be obvious, but first I'll have to snag some VC games if/when they're available.

As far as the re-purchasing controversy goes, I feel like it's fair in most cases. There are real legal technicalities involved in licensing these games to be played on a whole other console, which is likely why there's a charge even if you already owned the game via Wii Shop Channel. In most cases of previously-released games I'll likely avoid repurchasing them, but for a select few that I'd love to play with the new controllers (like Super Mario World and Mega Man) I'll have no problem doing so!
