I've got a lot of play out of it and I'm currently rank 54.
I'd maybe drop the score to a 7 personally though because if you're out of diamonds it can be frustrating playing roulette to play the stage you need to.
I had hoped that one of the USB plugs was for data, while the other was for power.
Could you guys try plugging one into a USB mains adapter or a different console for power, and one in the Wii U for data?
The fact that each plug is a different colour does support my theory, so hopefully. It'd at least give people with limited ports more options, as touched on in the review.
I enjoyed the Wii game (The Malgrave Incident I think it was). I really liked the atmosphere of the scenes you could move around in. Are there similar scenes in this one?
Also, is the 3DS' wider top screen taken advantage of, or does it have black borders on the sides?
Cool. Tie my purchases to my account and not my slab of plastic and I'll buy some games digitally. Until then, I'll continue to own the games I pay for.
Has anyone been able to do a system transfer since the latest system update? Every time it gets to step 5/5 then I get error 005-5414. I looked it up and it says its a problem connecting to the eShop, but both my 3DS's connect to the eShop fine, so I reckon it's another bug in this terrible update.

Re: Review: Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 (Wii U eShop / GBA)
If this, SMA and SMA 2 don't release in Europe I'll be so pissed. I still have my boxed carts but I'll gladly throw money at NoE for them on Wii U.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th January (Europe)
I've had that music streaming app on my Wii U for months. It must've been removed from the Wii U eShop shortly after its original release.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D Has a Sales Bump in the UK Following Discounts
It was £8 new on Amazon last week. Not sure if those sales count for these charts though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st January (Europe)
I'll be upgrading MK64, but I'm a bit concerned that there's no "This is the US version of the game" in the press release.
Re: Wii U System Version 5.5.1 is Now Available
Hopefully it's prep for home menu themes or something.
Re: Check Out Plenty of Hyrule Warriors Legends Footage, Limited Edition Pre-Orders Open in the UK
its a nice compass, but not worth the risk of having money stolen from my bank.
Re: BOXBOY! is Getting a Sequel
So we might actually get a decent 3DS eShop update this year!?
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th January (Europe)
3DS eShop is a complete joke at this point. So many wasted GB/GBC games.
I'll be grabbing Drill Dozer and probably NSMB Wii even though I've got it physically.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Looks Set to Hit Europe on 7th January
Wii downloads are not Virtual Console games, they're Wii downloads.
VC = emulated retro games, hence "Virtual".
Wii games = running natively on Wii U.
Re: Video: A Wii Wave Race Project Got Far Enough to Have Its Own Patents
@MikeW it was pretty much moving a black dot around a birds-eye view track.
Re: Video: A Wii Wave Race Project Got Far Enough to Have Its Own Patents
I also loved Wave Race 64. If I recall I swapped one of my N64 games with the ice cream van man to get it lol.
Bought Blue Storm at launch and also loved it.
How about Wave Race Resort set around Wuhu Island using Miis?
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Promises 3DS E3 Reveals While Being as Vague as Possible
Mario Party 11, Wii Music U and Metroid Surfing will be announced.
Animal Crossing: Happy Gardening In the Garden! will be the only new game for 3DS.
Re: Disney Infinity Producer Brands amiibo Stock Shortages "Irresponsible And Rude"
Maybe because people actually want amiibo, but they don't want Star Wars toys which only work with one game.
Re: New Dr. Mario Title Released on 3DS in Japan
Looks wicked. Hopefully we'll get it next week.
Re: Video: Get The Best Picture From Your NES With This Comprehensive Guide
Is there any particular reason that NES (and more recently N64) VC games are so dark?
Some parts of DK64 were near-impossible with the already bright but apparently not bright enough TV settings I had.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th May (Europe)
So many good DS games, and so long since the first 2 were added to the Wii U eShop, and they choose Yoshi's Island DS.
How disappointing.
Re: Review: Pokémon Rumble World (3DS eShop)
I've got a lot of play out of it and I'm currently rank 54.
I'd maybe drop the score to a 7 personally though because if you're out of diamonds it can be frustrating playing roulette to play the stage you need to.
Re: Mario Kart Super Circuit Arrives on the Wii U eShop This Week in Europe
Still got my boxed launch day copy, as well as the Ambassador version, but will buy
If there is no download update today I'm gonna expect a Direct this week haha.
Re: Pokémon White Makes Surprise Appearance in UK Charts as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Struggles
You get Pokemon White Version 2 free with New 3DS/XL systems at Argos at the moment, so that's most likely why.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st April, With Updates on Wii U and 3DS
Please let the VC related stuff from that "leak" be real, particularly N64 VC.
Re: Azure Striker Gunvolt Release Details for Europe Due Next Week, Prompts Nintendo Direct Chatter
Will buy to support the developer releasing it here, and for making the effort to publish it themselves.
Makes companies like Renegade Kid a complete joke.
Re: Suspension Railroad Simulator
GOTY
Re: This Articulated Skyward Sword Link Toy Should be Worth a Lot of Rupees
I think I have that exact figure already. It was from Toys R Us in the UK.
Re: Review: Moon Chronicles: Episodes 2-4 (3DS eShop)
Cool. Deduct 7 from the score if you're in Europe though because this developer just doesn't bother.
Re: Talking Point: The New Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Network and Wii U Could Point the Way for Future Hardware
I just want a nice high resolution screen/screens on the next handheld.
Re: More Details Emerge on Mutant Mudds Super Challenge
"For super players only".
Should read:
"For North Americans only".
I hate Renegade Kid, and the way they pretend Europe doesn't exist.
Re: Guide: Everything You Need To Know About Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's Secret Bases
Lol I don't even have secret power
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th November (Europe)
Just all the themes minus pink.
Re: Hands On: Wii U GameCube Controller Adapter
I had hoped that one of the USB plugs was for data, while the other was for power.
Could you guys try plugging one into a USB mains adapter or a different console for power, and one in the Wii U for data?
The fact that each plug is a different colour does support my theory, so hopefully. It'd at least give people with limited ports more options, as touched on in the review.
Re: Review: Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove (3DS eShop)
Lol. No way is this a 2/10. I love games like Hotel Dusk and Another Code, and I've always enjoyed the MCF games on Nintendo platforms.
If you have similar tastes and were intrigued by this game, don't let this review put you off.
The game is easily a 7/10 for me.
Re: 3DS eShop Exclusive Nintendo Pocket Football Club Will Be On Special Offer Until May
Not really into football. Too chavvy for my liking.
Even if I were, I'm not sure I'd pay£13 for a handheld football game that has pixel art graphics.
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition Out Today in North America, Wii U Version Delayed in Europe
I'd have bought it, but seeing as they're only delaying the Wii U version, I'll be immature (armature? haha) and not buy it now.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2014 - Spring Edition
Very disappointing list.
Re: Win Big In Our 'Year Of Luigi' Send Off Competition
I'm due some good luck. Hopefully today is my day!
Re: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dream Coming To Europe and Australia Next Week
Looks alright, but it reminds me of Trine 2 and I got bored of that after a few hours and unfortunately didn't finish it.
Re: Review: Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst (3DS)
I enjoyed the Wii game (The Malgrave Incident I think it was). I really liked the atmosphere of the scenes you could move around in. Are there similar scenes in this one?
Also, is the 3DS' wider top screen taken advantage of, or does it have black borders on the sides?
Re: Feature: A Weekend With Pikmin 3
Where's the EU Nintendo Download for today?
Re: Video: New Pokémon X & Y Footage Emerges, Proves How Exciting it Really Is
I love Pokemon, but watching adults screaming like that over a wild Pokemon encounter is just embarrassing.
Re: Pikmin 3 Listed As £39.99 On The Wii U eShop in The UK
^ He more or less covered why I feel the way I do about Nintendo's terrible online purchase system.
Re: Pikmin 3 Listed As £39.99 On The Wii U eShop in The UK
Cool. Tie my purchases to my account and not my slab of plastic and I'll buy some games digitally. Until then, I'll continue to own the games I pay for.
Re: Soul Calibur II HD Online Not Announced For Wii U
From Namco. The developer helping make two new Super Smash Bros games for Wii U, don't want to release a HD remake of an old game on Wii U.
Re: European Development Support For Nintendo Systems Lags Behind Rivals
Glad it's not just my Wii U that has an SD card door that doesn't fully close flush.
Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (3DS)
Played it for 3 and a half hours so far. Love it.
Re: Video: This Is What Happens When You Fuse Mario Kart With Fast And Furious
I'm a big fan of the series.
The video could have been cool, but it looks stupid and isn't very funny.
Re: New Loveplus+ Heading To 3DS in Japan
Can't wait for New New Super Mario Bros Bros.
Re: New StreetPass Mii Plaza Update Resolves DLC Crashing Issue
Anybody transferred since the new update?
Re: New StreetPass Mii Plaza Update Resolves DLC Crashing Issue
Has anyone been able to do a system transfer since the latest system update? Every time it gets to step 5/5 then I get error 005-5414. I looked it up and it says its a problem connecting to the eShop, but both my 3DS's connect to the eShop fine, so I reckon it's another bug in this terrible update.
Re: Interview: Next Level Games Excited to Work on More Nintendo IPs
Let them make a new Zelda: Four Swords for the Wii U eShop.
Re: Evidence of a Functional 3DS Flashcard Emerges
I hate pirates and piracy.
Watching that video turned me on though. I liked the pirate lady's hands.
Re: Mutant Mudds Deluxe Confirmed for 13th June in North America
I'm going to bet on March 2014 for Europe or something stupid like that.
