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.
I'd like the 1112 series, Cut the Rope series, Super Hexagon, Sonic Jump and Dash, Resident Evil Degeneration HD, Draw Something, Rayman Run, Rock Runners, Fruit Ninja, Pudding Monsters, and Peggle.
Here's the lineup of Virtual Console games for the Wii from 7 years ago for those who can't remember, which were available the day the system launched.
So why not just announce the VC launch lineup? I don't see what being so secretive gains. I mean, it's not really a surprise is it so what's the point.
I just find it incredibly stupid that after hardly any games for months, they're releasing Lego City Undercover, Luigi's Mansion 2, Harmoknight and the Fire Emblem Awakening demo all in one day.
@Bliquid, I'd like that as well, if it wasn't for the fact the OS is still designed to have channels filled up with downloadable software, and not being able to play in 480p.
Picked mine up at the midnight launch from GAME with Super Mario 64 DS and of course Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt. I then went round the corner and traded some junk in to get WarioWare: Touched! from Gamestation. Then I rode home on my bike, and it all began.
I have more DS games than for any other system I've owned (Over 100 games not counting DSiWare).
I was also a big fan of the original DS. It's clunky and toy-ish but that adds to the charm for me.

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: 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: 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.
Re: Mega Man X Blasting Its Way Onto Wii U Virtual Console This Week
I've only ever played the NES ones.
Is this better? Is it harder/easier?
Re: Wii U Lens Cleaning Kit Appears on Nintendo Store
Confirmed: The new Super Smash Bros is on a dual layer disc that won't work on most people's Wii U.
At least they're prepared this time.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd May (Europe)
Does anyone know when we in Europe can expect to receive our code for free DKCR3D?
Did anyone choose Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, which is now out? How long did they take to send you your code?
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd May (Europe)
I have the Wii version of Dream Course.
What Kirby's Fun Pak? I've got that but not the Wii version of Super Star.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Mixed Week With Wii U Third-Party Support
People will hear about the PS4/New Xbox.
They'll want something new and thus look into them.
Their prices will make them laugh.
Still wanting something new, they'll go for a Wii U.
Re: Senior EA Employee Caught Out Criticising Wii U On Twitter
The funniest part is he criticised Nintendo/Google for WiiStreetU but he seems okay with the Pizza Hut app for Xbox 360 LOL.
Stupid deluded fanboy. Hope he gets fired and can't find a new job.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th May (Europe)
I'm preying Damrey is as good as it looks.
Re: The Starship Damrey
It looks good, but also like it'll end up sucking, if that makes sense.
Re: Darts Up 3D Steps Up to the Oche on 3DS eShop
So is out this week?
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th May (Europe)
Gonna download most of that.
Disappointed about Super Metroid. 60hz would have made rebuying it on Wii U all the more worth it.
I'm guessing its going to have the annoying German text displayed under the English in-game text like the SNES and Wii versions? -_-
Re: Eternal Darkness Will "Definitely" Be Discussed For The Wii U, Say Precursor Games
Not too fussed about this "sequel" but I'd love to own a digital version of Eternal Darkness.
Re: Super Mario Bros. 2 Hitting The North American Wii U Virtual Console Next Week
Hope we get it in Europe too. We'll find out tomorrow.
I'll get it even though I have Super Mario All-Stars on SNES and Wii, Super Mario Advance, and the Wii VC version hehe.
Wish they'd just release Super Mario All-Stars on Wii U VC.
Re: Review: Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move (3DS eShop)
Can't wait to download it tomorrow. Other people's opinions don't affect my own.
Re: 3D Sonic The Hedgehog Spinning Onto The Japanese 3DS eShop Next Week
Super Mario Bros 1 or 3 should have been given the same treatment.
Sega still does what Nintendon't.
Re: Precursor And Nintendo In "Constant" Contact Regarding Eternal Darkness Successor
So supportive that they're funding and publishing it like they did Eternal Darkness
Oh...
Re: Feature: Ten Smartphone and Tablet Games We'd Like to See on Wii U
I'd like the 1112 series, Cut the Rope series, Super Hexagon, Sonic Jump and Dash, Resident Evil Degeneration HD, Draw Something, Rayman Run, Rock Runners, Fruit Ninja, Pudding Monsters, and Peggle.
Re: Capcom Announces Two More Wii U Virtual Console Titles In May
Super Ghouls and Ghosts intrigues me. I don't think I've ever played it before, so I'll gladly buy it when it hits EU.
Re: Nintendo To Reveal Retro's New Wii U Game "In The Not So Distant Future"
It's the new Mario Party for 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th April - Virtual Console (Europe)
Will they be up at midnight?
Re: 3DS Market Share For Early 2013 Shows Growth in North America and Europe
Too many chavs in the UK that just play CoD and Fifa. I apologise on behalf of my country, Iwata.
Re: Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed
Here's the lineup of Virtual Console games for the Wii from 7 years ago for those who can't remember, which were available the day the system launched.
http://www.1up.com/news/virtual-console-lineup-unveiled
Puts things even further into perspective really.
Re: Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed
Terrible.
Europe lineup will probably be Urban Champion and Donkey Kong JR Math.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th April 2013 (Europe)
So why not just announce the VC launch lineup? I don't see what being so secretive gains. I mean, it's not really a surprise is it so what's the point.
Re: Game & Wario Brings Mayhem to North America on 23rd June
Yeah I can see why we don't have a date for it in Europe. A text heavy RPG like this must need a lot of localisation.
Re: Wii U System Update Coming Next Week
Can we get a list of VC launch titles please.
Re: Developer Interview: Ubisoft on the Expanding Rayman Legends and Wii U's Free Challenge Mode
I'll take the free challenge app. Doubt I'll bother with the full game out of principle.
Re: BIT.TRIP Runner 2 Dashing To European Wii U eShop Tomorrow
£10.79 is a very fair price. Instant download for me regardless of price though.
Re: Colors! 3D Update Available To Download On 5th April
@Rizsparky So you're waiting to save 40p? lol
Re: Toki Tori 2 to Launch With a Discount
Day one download with or without the discount.
Re: Review: HarmoKnight (3DS eShop)
Can't wait to download it!
I just find it incredibly stupid that after hardly any games for months, they're releasing Lego City Undercover, Luigi's Mansion 2, Harmoknight and the Fire Emblem Awakening demo all in one day.
Just seems a terrible idea to me.
Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Makes Its Debut in UK Top 10
It's not my kind of game, so sorry Capcom/Nintendo for not buying it.
Re: Wii Mini Generating Little Interest in The UK
@Bliquid, I'd like that as well, if it wasn't for the fact the OS is still designed to have channels filled up with downloadable software, and not being able to play in 480p.
Re: Super Metroid is 19 Years Old Today
The last Metroid... Is in capftivitfy.
True story.
Re: Win £100 of Nintendo eShop Credit!
I know the answer
I love Nano Assault EX. Looking forward to my Circle Pad Pro XL coming so I can enjoy it even more!
Hope I win
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th March 2013 (Europe)
I remember the days when new games would come out on Nintendo home consoles.
Re: The Nintendo DS Celebrates its 8th Birthday in Europe Today

Re: F-Zero AX Found Hidden In GameCube F-Zero GX
This is cool. I love GX.
One thing though, do you have to enter that HUGE code every single time you boot the game? (I don't know how Action Replay works).
