Game and Wario or DKCR3D? I tend to play my 3ds more but the file size is huge. The DDP points for Wario would be a nice plus but the single player aspect seems limited. Tough decision. I'm sure I will regret not choosing the other game when I decide but hey it's a nice bonus for buying games and filling out a few surveys once in a while.
@SuperiorTech Wow talk about ripoff. They only changed the music and a couple pallet swaps. Of course lame story as well. "Bring the scepter by midnight." WTF?
Off-tv play is a major part of my gaming. I cant see my tv while sitting on the couch and my wife and son can use the tv while I play. Games without the feature isn't a deal breaker for me but a game like this where precision is needed I would probably play almost exclusively on the game pad. Glad they are listening to their fans.
Still on the fence with this one. It's between this and wind waker. I already played through most of the original wind waker and loved it but this game looks good also. Never played one or two. I wish there was a demo to try.
There may be a drought in games released on Nintendo consoles right now but between my 3ds and Wii u ill never play all the games that I want to in their respective lifetimes. My backlog is pretty big right now.
Darksiders 2 on the wii u and Project X Zone on the 3ds. PXZ has got me hooked now that I understand all the strategy elements that I can implement. Thinking about Advance wars but ill probably keep saving for DKTF or Mario 3d world instead. I need to finish fire emblem awakening first anyway.
Makes me wonder at the amount of content/length of the game when they talk about speed running. I can't help but think it will be a shorter experience when finishing the game quickly is a big replay feature. Still interested though.
I'll skip this one and get the original when they release the GBA remake on the Wii U. I loved the SNES original back the day. The last boss battle was epic.
@Igmx I agree. Great game when you get into it. I bought the CPP just for this game and don't even use it anymore. You just got to give the digital d-pad a chance.
@GloryQuestor @GloryQuestor thanks I forgot I asked that question lol. I may consider downloading the wii u version and continuing my game. It really is a fun and challenging game and has a ton of repeatability with all the different weapon types. I use the longsword mostly but I heard it teaches bad battle habits. I might try switching it up and keep practicing to master a different weapon.
@Snes_is_king That would be so awesome. I would have a subscription for life. Don't think it will happen though while they are selling 30 year old NES games for 5 bucks a piece.
Nintendo needs more of their unique first party games on the Wii u. I buy Nintendo consoles for nintendo games because they make some of the most enjoyable games ever. I'm playing Mario and Luigi dream team on 3ds and despite playing all the others in the series I think its one of the best most unique games I've played in a while. Some nintendo games are just that perfect balance of enjoyment, relaxation, and some challenge. Its why they have lasted as a game company only. Hopefully the wii u will get more of those types of games this year.
I'd like to see sales on eshop cards from nintendo's own site or on amazon. Best buy ran a 20% off all eshop cards around the holidays but I unfortunately missed the sale. I would enjoy being able to choose what amount and what game to save some money on. I think it's a nice strategy to push digital sales on both consoles.
@SMW seems like it would have made more sense to have the wii u pro controller work universally with all wii and wii u vc games but I guess having the backward compatibility is enough. Ill probably pick up a classic controller tomorrow.Can't wait to see how f-zero and 1080 hold up in this day in age.
Going to download both wii/wii u vc games as I haven't redeemed coins in a while and I remember both being pretty fun back in the day. Can't go wrong when the price is free I guess.
Was considering this bundle as I saw this sale price online somewhere two weeks ago. Went with the mario bundle. My kid likes the s kylander demos in the store but with the figures being at least ten bucks a pop the game would end up costing over a hundred dollars. Love my new wii u by the way. Glad I stuck with it as my first one was defective.
@divinealpha Super street fighter IV is available in the NA eshop now. I had to use the search all downloadable content option to find it but it is ready to be purchased for $19.99.
Day one buy. It's nice to see a change in the overall appearance of the Pokemon games even though the gameplay looks about the same as all the others(not a bad thing).
I recommend Bike Rider DX for 3ds owners. I picked it up yesterday at the discounted U.S. price and am happy I did. Fun little time waster. Thinking about getting Super Acorns too it looks fun from the video clip on the eshop.
Interested in this game even with the chance of a save glitch. I don't think I've played anything like it. It's a puzzle/adventure game? Is it frustrating hard at times?
They don't make cartoons like this anymore. I watch Disney and nickelodeon with my son and they just don't beat the 80s cartoons. He actually prefers the old Godzilla and Spider-Man cartoons. Ahhh memories.
Hearing that theme song just made my day. Loved the cartoon as a kid a remember playing the game at my cousins(and yes it was hard!) Wish I had a next gen console to play it.
Is tecmo bowl going to be released on the 3DS? The eshop needs more sports games besides soccer. Football, baseball, hockey, any of them. There seems to be a lack of sport retail releases for the handheld as well.
I saw Kid Icarus and was hoping they released the 3ds game in digital form. They prolly won't do that because of the added stand though. Maybe I'll pick it up used. Borrowed it from a friend and liked it a lot
I enjoy it and play it for a few quick fights every now and then. I expected more from the game but it has good replay value with all the characters you can play as.
Thinking maybe the posters. It seems like a waste to get the games when I can buy those for a few clams. Might be nice to frame and hang in my future man cave. (The cd looks like a nice collectible though.)
@JaxonH I hear ya. I used to love reading game manuals as a kid. When you buy retail now there is either no manual at all or it's just a few pages. I don't understand why people complain about digital games having no booklet when both options mainly have digital instructions. Aside from some preorder bonus of course.

Re: NES Remix 2 Features A Mode Which Mimics The 1990 Nintendo World Championship
I hope they offer a discount for those who purchased the original. I can't see myself paying another $15 for essentially the same game.
Re: Shaq Fu Reboot Developers Considering Console Support Without Stretch Goals
I remember playing the original at a friends house on the SNES. It was pretty bad but Shaq was the man so we didn't care.

Can you transfer save data to wii u from 3ds or only wii u to 3ds?

Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for January
Found the answer I was looking for on nintendo's website. I guess each game needs a certain controller to be played from the wii vc.
Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for January
@SMW I think you answered a question I have. If a vc game is played in wii mode on the wii u the I need a wii classic controller? Is that correct?
