This is another one of those days where we're getting a handful of Nintendo news without a Direct.
This is also the first time where you'll be able to transfer the Pokemon you caught from the original version of a game to its remake version (not directly, it will take multiple transfers from gen to gen).
Marvelous AQL has done alot of things I like (they developed Fortune Street for Wii, ported Skullgirls to the PC, and created the Senran Kagura seires)
Also, North America had a deal with Donkey Kong Country 3D that if you bought it at Best Buy, it came with a download code for Super Mario Bros Lost Levels.
@Noboty Just because Triple Deluxe comes with Dream Land 2 in Europe? You know that Europe didn't get the 2012 Dream Collection Wii disc and we did on the flip-side.
@AJSjedi It's only NOA that still produces Wiis, DSis, and Wii Minis. NOE discontinued the Wii and DSi but oddly still produces Wii Minis. Only NOJ discontinued their 7th gen products entirely.
I'm a Pac-Man supporter but my hopes went down when Sakurai said that third party characters will be kept to a minimum and he said that Namco developing the game doesn't mean there will be a Namco rep. I think this game's two third party characters are Sonic and Mega Man.
@hngdmn You're right there, games that feature both would only be successful among an even smaller niche of bixsexual gamers compared to the ones that only sexualize one gender.
I think there should be more fanservice games with both scantily-clad women and bishounens in speedos and less with only one gender getting sexualized.
I actually have the Game Boy Color cartridge for Super Mario Bros Deluxe but I prefer the NES and SNES versions, especially with the GBC version of Lost Levels not having Worlds 9-D.
I always thought the GBA Pac-Man/Namco compilations were the worst versions of the games because of their lack high score saving but if the GBA games on the Wii U VC have save states then the Wii U VC versions won't be completely useless.

Re: Nintendo Confirms The Mario Kart 8 Premium Pack – Special Edition Wii U Hardware Bundle

@Lance168 They also did a spree of announcements without a Direct back in September (Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle and 2DS)
Re: Game Boy Advance Games On The Wii U Virtual Console Are Single Player Only
@EarthboundBenjy Sega does what Nintendon't
Re: Game Boy Advance Games On The Wii U Virtual Console Are Single Player Only
If the Fusion rumors are true then they'll probably just add multiplayer to these games when the Fusion comes out.
Re: Super Mario Bros. 3 Is Warping To North American Virtual Consoles On April 17th
We're getting Mario & Luigi before Japan
Re: Feature: Bandai Namco Characters We'd Love to See in Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
I'm a Pac-Man supporter but my hopes went down when Sakurai said that third party characters will be kept to a minimum and he said that Namco developing the game doesn't mean there will be a Namco rep. I think this game's two third party characters are Sonic and Mega Man.
Re: Images Emerge of Wii U Mario vs. Donkey Kong Tech Demo Running On Nintendo Web Framework
I always forget that the Mario VS Donkey Kong games are made in America and not Japan

Re: Soapbox: Ignoring The Objectification Of Women In Games Won't Make the Problem Go Away
@hngdmn You're right there, games that feature both would only be successful among an even smaller niche of bixsexual gamers compared to the ones that only sexualize one gender.
Re: Soapbox: Ignoring The Objectification Of Women In Games Won't Make the Problem Go Away
@hngdmn I mean having both in the same game more often unless that's what you were talking about.
Re: Soapbox: Ignoring The Objectification Of Women In Games Won't Make the Problem Go Away
I think there should be more fanservice games with both scantily-clad women and bishounens in speedos and less with only one gender getting sexualized.
Re: Club Nintendo in North America to Remove Post-Play Survey Coins for Wii and DS Games
I hope NOA finally discontinues the Wii and DSi this year, NOJ and NOE both did last year.
Re: Capcom Is Aware That We All Want A New Mega Man Collection, Thanks Very Much
I hope it includes both the "Rockman Complete Works" series and Wily Wars if the make another collection.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th March (North America)
@Kodeen Oops, I forgot that it did come to the Wii VC in Europe and Japan, just not North America.
Re: Review: BLOK DROP U (Wii U eShop)
I find the game very enjoyable, it's just missing sound effects.
Re: Review: Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (3DS eShop)
I actually have the Game Boy Color cartridge for Super Mario Bros Deluxe but I prefer the NES and SNES versions, especially with the GBC version of Lost Levels not having Worlds 9-D.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th March (North America)
Adventure Island II was a game that never made it to the Wii VC, I'll also have to download BLOK DROP U at that price.

Re: GBA Titles Super Mario Ball And Pac-Man Collection Rated By Australian Classification Board
I always thought the GBA Pac-Man/Namco compilations were the worst versions of the games because of their lack high score saving but if the GBA games on the Wii U VC have save states then the Wii U VC versions won't be completely useless.
