@Rockodoodle - Agh, you know, that would be okay if it was on my phone or 3DS (I've done worse for $2) - but the fact that I'm left underwhelmed after putting several hours in to a Wii U game is a big disappointment.
Maybe I should make a proper forum post, instead of making lengthy comments on this article š«
I bought it based on Nintendo Life's recommendation, but man, it's just not for me. "Hours of replay value and high score fun" sounds all well and good until most of the characters/themes are unlocked. I think this is the first eShop game that I've uninstalled and have no plans to return to š
These remind me exactly of the old "e-Reader" Animal Crossing cards, which netted you some random items when connected to the GCN version. I think I have mine in a binder, somewhere.
Oh man! I'm a DUNE fanatic. I would most definitely have that game in my collection. Coincidentally, I'm playing through DUNE on the SEGA CD system right now.
I'm indebted to my wife for buying me a SEGA CD console this last Christmas, finalizing my Genesis/32X "tower of power."
I'm in love with the system and it's been a lot of fun digging up games at thrift stores and flea markets, all thanks to the SEGA CD's obscurity in the American market.
Excellent! The reason why I never upgraded to the 3DS version was because I never finished it on WiiWare. If it ever came to the Wii U eShop, I'd hope there would be an upgrade option available, similar to paying $1 and $1.50 for NES/SNES games.
A couple of years ago, I purchased the vinyl version of his "MegaRan 10" album through Capcom Unity. Ran was kind enough to sign the album himself, I didn't even have to ask
Great article! I've been reading up on the WonderSwan since Valentines Day; my wife bought me a color system plus "Gunpey EX" and "Rhyme Rider Keroican."
Besides the numerous puzzle and action games, I would love to find more games that don't require much Japanese reading skills to enjoy. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've been closely looking at "Mobile Suit Gundam MSVS", but I can't tell what the gameplay is like. Same goes for that single 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' title on the system.

Re: Nintendo Download: 25th October (North America)

Re: Review: Gunbird (Switch eShop)

@Platypus101 haha, I came here to say the same thing.
Re: Video: Summing Up The Good And Bad Of Devil's Third

Re: Endless 3D Platformer Blocky Bot Jumps Across To European Wii U eShop On 23rd July
Ah! I have a lot to say about this game.

Re: Nintendo Isn't Talking About NX Because It Doesn't Want Rivals To Steal Its Ideas

Re: Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 3 Is Slashing Its Way Westward This June
@Vineleaf
Very nice! Now I don't feel like I'm missing out, haha.
Re: Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 3 Is Slashing Its Way Westward This June
Oh really... Even though the first one received so-so reviews (poor draw distance, low enemy count), I really enjoyed it.
I wonder if the name will change for the NA release, seeing that the 2nd game never made it here.
Re: Silver Edition Mario amiibo Hits North American Stores on 29th May

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron DLC Rolling Out to Zen Pinball 2 Soon

Re: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Launching With amiibo Cards And NFC Reader This Autumn
These remind me exactly of the old "e-Reader" Animal Crossing cards, which netted you some random items when connected to the GCN version. I think I have mine in a binder, somewhere.

Nice, I've actually been waiting for a Zen Pinball 2 discount.
Re: Canned Shooter Dune: Ornithopter Assault Could Have Added Spice To The GBA Library

Long live the fighters!
Re: A Cowboy's Tale from Nexis Games Rides to the Wii U eShop in 2016
I'll just play Gunman Clive, thanks.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th March (North America)
SKY KID!
I dunno about you guys, but this game is pretty sweet. I'll definitely pay $1 to upgrade it to the Wii U menu. Hells yes!

Re: Woah Dave! Getting Free Deluxe Update On 3DS, Also Coming To Wii U
I will gladly buy this game again on Wii U. The 3DS version is hella tight.
Re: Retro City Rampage Gets Beefed Up on WiiWare With 'DX' Update
Excellent! The reason why I never upgraded to the 3DS version was because I never finished it on WiiWare. If it ever came to the Wii U eShop, I'd hope there would be an upgrade option available, similar to paying $1 and $1.50 for NES/SNES games.

Re: Mega Man, Shin Megami Tensei And Ganbare Goemon Sequels Coming To Japanese Virtual Console Services
I'd really like to play SMTII without, you know, having to rely on an emulator. What are the chances that this will be released outside of Japan?
Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for September
I'm pretty sure I'll just get Pilot Wings and re-purchase it from the Wii U eShop for $1.50
Re: Profile: Kazumi Totaka - The Man Behind Animal Crossing's K.K. Slider

Re: Review: The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultimate Edition (Wii U)
Hey look, I read the entire review before looking at the final score. Am I progressive, or what?
Re: The Creator Of Retro City Rampage Suffered To Bring The Game To Market
I hope this guy actually makes a profit from the WiiWare version, I don't want this to be his last title on a Nintendo console!
Re: Terra Incognita Could Come To The Wii U If Kickstarter Goal Is Reached
No thanks. That game doesn't look very appealing or innovative :/
Re: The Conduit Getting HD Remake For Mobile Tegra Devices
I would totally repurchase The Conduit if it came to the Wii U eShop!
I still hop online, every now and then, to play Conduit 2 multiplayer
