I can appreciate that this service is so cheap - only $45 a year split between me and 2 others. The family plan thing is really nice too. Not counting the NES games which are of no interest to me, that leaves the cloud saves, the voice chat app and the ability to play online, correct?

Cloud saves: fine, good, I'm not bothered with it. Voice chat app: I can't even fathom their decision to go with this, the one time I tried this, the sound quality was terrible, and people were getting disconnected randomly. For gods sake there are any number of free ways to talk to people on your PHONE (thats the keyword there) with better stability and without it sounding like your all using some kind of toaster mic. Honestly this app makes no sense to me whatsoever. And then finally we get to the online play, which is the main reason I (and I would assume most others) paid for this. Now this is really mostly a per game sort of thing, but at least when I've played with friends online in mario party, there have been multiple instances of severe lag and disconnects for everyone involved. Unacceptable.

So with all this in mind, I just really hope this service improves over time.

These are some of my favourite games, I would love to play a third! Or even the earlier games remastered!

Eh. I still haven't finished the original - not interested in effectively buying the game again with some slight changes/new content - and I'm not liking the ... design changes I've seen so far, so this is probably a skip for me.

@Ryu_Niiyama

I doubt we'll ever see another baten kaitos game, and an hd release seems unlikely as well, as much as I would love to see either. Those were some of my all time favourite games.

Why?

@ecco6t9

Schmendrick! now theres something I haven't heard in a while!

If the special edition is available in canada I'll probably buy it, as long as the price is reasonable.

@Grumblevolcano

You could just return it no? its an absolutely fantastic game, so I wouldn't worry about any potential gamepad support you would get with the eshop edition anyways. And that reverse cover art is pretty sweet too. =)

It was kind of nice to have an interactive tv guide on the gamepad but really, it was just kind of pointless - even more now that I barely ever watch tv.

Who wants to bet there won't be any such promotion in NA?! woop woop! Not only that, but when they do release it in NA in 2072, they'll grossly undersupply it and it'll sell out everywhere on day one, and we won't see any or hear of any new shipments for several months afterwards! YEAH!

I prefer to watch things on my PC as it is, so I won't be using this on my wii u. Besides, with a little waiting, I can watch everything that I want to for free on crunchyroll, I am certainly not the type of person that has to watch the latest episode of something the DAY it comes out.

Not really interested in amiibo, but I was never able to find a gamecube remote adaptor, all the nearby stores were sold out within an hour or 2 of opening, and had only received shipments of like up to 5 units to begin with. Very disappointing.

@Tsuchinoko It depends on the city I suppose, but as you mentioned NY, I would think these types of cards are mostly limited to major metropolitan areas. Such as NY.

I've certainly never seen or heard of such cards here in Calgary, and I don't know that they're very widespread in other parts of Canada either.

While it certainly seems very convenient, I think this is probably going to be limited to japan, or at the very least - I doubt I'll ever see it where I live.

I'll try to find it in a store somewhere. I always prefer physical copies over digital if at all possible. With a physical copy, as long as I don't lose it, then I know that I've got the game no matter what might happen to my system. That alone is enough reason for me to choose physical over digital.

For consoles at least. =P

Great. A child. Just what I've always wanted more of in AA. Thanks japan. /s

Who would wear something like that...

But I've already got all the games I want on that list. QQ

I got nothin'. Oh well, back to having nothing to spend my coins on, again.

Seriously, did they have like 2 of each colour or something? I checked these some 9-10 hours ago and they weren't even available, now they're gone. Wonderful.
