I really hope these deals are offered in NA as well, I have most of the games already but I would probably get the 3DS themes I don't have and would definitely be tempted by the eShop offers and then trade in my physical copies towards my switch purchase
Even though I've never found the borderlands franchise appealing it's unfortunate the discussions fell through. I think the more variety they offer in games on the Switch the better it will be for everybody...
I'm glad for the move to standard charging port. Battery life could be better but I'm sure there will be firmware updates that will improve it over time.
I just picked up the first one while it was on sale. I did remember trying it at one point and thought it was a decent game (but not perfect by any means) but it's became difficult to find a physical copy locally.
i'm tempted to get the discounts dedede's drum dash, and yoshi for the 3ds. I'm also considering kirby's epic yarn, but still don't really like the Canadian eshop price even with the discount
I'm also not seeing the Wii virtual console discount on Majora's Mask. If it's not there by the time I get home from work this afternoon I am tempted to contact Nintendo.
I've grabbed the theme, zero mission and super metroid. Irritatingly when I go do redeem the super metroid discount it appeared to apply to the Wii U version rather then the 3DS version. Might have to contact Nintendo to fix that.
Already grabbed it. Figured it beats letting my points expire. I have to admit though I would rather use my points towards virtual console titles rather then 3DS themes.
Isn't this expected to happen during the current console wind down before a new console becomes available for pre-order? The revenue steam for the current console dries up while consumers wait for the latest and greatest to come available...
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm in Canada, so it must be one of those "only in North America" games. It's unfortunate that localisation costs and certification fees (I assume) prevent some indi developers from publishing their games globally
It would have been interesting to see what they could have done. I thought the Epic Mickey games had a lot of potential but didn't live up to it (especially the 2nd one)
On the bright side, at least they're not claiming an "unrepresented partnership" only to back out after in my opinion one good game game (Need for Speed: Most Wanted) and a couple of what I feel are token attempts (NFL 2013, Mass Effect 3, etc). if they would have followed Capcom lead by adding SNES and Wii titles to the eshop then I would be more optimistic about their press release. On a semi-related note I realise that the ME3 port was relatively well done but I passed on it since I have a;; three of them on PC already and while good games I couldn't justify double dipping for 1/3 of the games I had already. If they would have made a trilogy like they did on PS3 and the 360 I would have probably picked it up to see how well they implemented gamepad suport...
I'm very tempted actually. I found this to be a very enjoyable game. The downside is since I live in Canada NoC charges $11.29 instead of $9.99. I realise that the .$1.30 difference isn't a huge amount but it's enough to make me selective about the SNES VC console titles that I will buy on the New 3DS

Re: New Nintendo 3DS Exclusive, Lifespeed, Gets a Fresh Trailer Ahead of February Release
Reminds me of that futuristic racer on the PlayStation (I'm drawing a blank on the name of it though). Hopefully it lives up to the trailer.

Re: Here's How Long the Switch's Battery Life Will Last
I'm glad for the move to standard charging port. Battery life could be better but I'm sure there will be firmware updates that will improve it over time.
Re: Newzoo Estimates Less Than Five Percent of Users Have Paid For Super Mario Run
I bought it and have no regrets. It's what I would expect for an initial mario mobile game.
i can't see android fairing much better though.
Re: Activision's Amazing Spider-Man Games Make A Sharp Exit From The Wii U eShop
I just picked up the first one while it was on sale. I did remember trying it at one point and thought it was a decent game (but not perfect by any means) but it's became difficult to find a physical copy locally.
Re: My Nintendo's New Year Rewards Add Some Fresh Discounts
i'm tempted to get the discounts dedede's drum dash, and yoshi for the 3ds. I'm also considering kirby's epic yarn, but still don't really like the Canadian eshop price even with the discount
Re: Deals: There Are a Lot of Festive eShop Discounts in North America
I'm tempted to get the Wii U version of the amazing spider-man.
Re: Nintendo's Share Value Plummets Despite Super Mario Run Downloads and Revenue Performance
@BLP_Software wasn't Pokemon Go launched in July?
Re: Niantic Reiterates Pokémon GO For Apple Watch Is Still Coming Amid Rumours Of Cancellation
it's part of the reason I have gotten back into Pokemon Go.
Re: 3Souls Episodes 2 and 3 to Now Arrive as Free Updates
I'm tempted to try it now.
Re: Amazon US Likely To Have NES Classic Mini In Stock Again Soon
I was planning to pick up a controller to use with my Wii U but those seem even harder to find.
Re: My Nintendo Gets Plenty of Legend of Zelda Goodies in North America
I'm going to grab the home theme for sure, and maybe skyward sword.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th November (North America)
I'm also not seeing the Wii virtual console discount on Majora's Mask. If it's not there by the time I get home from work this afternoon I am tempted to contact Nintendo.
Re: Nintendo Marks Sonic's 25th Birthday With Digital Sale In North America
Sonic Drift 2 was the only I've grabbed. I have all the rest already.
Re: Video: Explaining The Hot Mess That Was The Super Mario Bros. Movie
I had the chance to watch that over the weekend. It's unfortunate there were so many changes. It looks like it had the potential to be a decent movie.
Re: Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Now Coming to Wii U "At a Later Stage", Delaying eShop Release
I still plan to get this, provided it doesn't get pushed until after the switch comes out.
Re: New North American My Nintendo Rewards Carry A Major Metroid Theme
I've grabbed the theme, zero mission and super metroid. Irritatingly when I go do redeem the super metroid discount it appeared to apply to the Wii U version rather then the 3DS version. Might have to contact Nintendo to fix that.
Re: Three Tempting Virtual Console Games Are Heading to North America This Week
RE is tempting. It's too bad the local 2nd hand stores seem to sell physical copies for half the Canadian eShop price.
Re: Gallery: Check Out Blaster Master Zero, The Inti Creates Revival of a Classic
Looks interesting.
Re: Isabelle Animal Crossing 3DS HOME Theme Added to My Nintendo in North America
Already grabbed it. Figured it beats letting my points expire. I have to admit though I would rather use my points towards virtual console titles rather then 3DS themes.
Re: Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Hitting the North American Wii U eShop This Week
I guess I'll add this to my list of Wii downloads that I want but can't justify the extra $9 premium they charge in Canada for them
Re: Reminder: Super Mario Series Wave 2 amiibo Hit North America This Week
I'm going to grab Waluigi, Pauline, and Boo. Since I already have the others I'm not going to bother.
Re: Here Are Your New My Nintendo Rewards
I'm tempted by xenoblade chronicles. And maybe boxboy
Re: Nintendo's Share Value Continues Its Painful Slide After Reports Predicting Upcoming Financial Loss
Isn't this expected to happen during the current console wind down before a new console becomes available for pre-order? The revenue steam for the current console dries up while consumers wait for the latest and greatest to come available...
Re: Nintendo Switch Will Be a Single-Screen Experience
It was convenient but not something I could live without. The game I think I've used it the most is Zenoblade Chronicles X
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Isn't Physically Backwards Compatible With 3DS And Wii U Software
I guess I will be holding on to my Wii U, if nothing else for my physical media.
Re: Unreal Engine 4 Will Be Supported on Nintendo Switch
Officially supported engines are always a good thing...hopefully more will be announced as time goes on.
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo Switch, a New Concept for Gaming
Looks promising. I'm looking forward to more specifics.
Re: Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Hits the Wii U eShop on 22nd November, Retail Version Coming Later
I plan to get it. I've already got the PC version but this is one I enjoyed enough that I will double dip
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th October (Europe)
I hope the hallowe'en discounts will apply to NA as well. There is a couple that are on my wish list but more then I want to spend right now.
Re: North American Pokémon Trainers Now Have a Second Chance to Pick Up Hoopa
I don't recall if i got this intially or not so I plan to attempt the download code. Worst case is I already have this and I can't get this again.
Re: Best Buy Opens Pre-Orders on Some Re-Stocked amiibo in the US
Too bad they are not doing this in Canada. I still want a Pit...
Re: New Play Control! Pikmin Arrives on the North American eShop This Thursday
This gives me hope they will bring fire emblem out on the eShop
Re: Shovel Knight Confirmed for Surprise Role in Yooka-Laylee
Looks cool. I'm regretting not crowdfunding this.
Re: 2DS Relaunch Makes Decent Chart Debut in Japan as Persona 5 and PS4 Run Riot
I'm surprised they haven't done a "New 2DS"
Re: Review: Explody Bomb (Wii U eShop)
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm in Canada, so it must be one of those "only in North America" games. It's unfortunate that localisation costs and certification fees (I assume) prevent some indi developers from publishing their games globally
Re: New Rewards Are Now Available On My Nintendo
I just grabbed the 3DS theme. I'm not terribly interested in that series but it's better then the Miitomo shirts.
Re: Review: Explody Bomb (Wii U eShop)
I just bought this since it was marked down to $0.01. It's hard to argue with that price...
Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto Highlights the Pleasure of Eating a Burger While Playing Super Mario Run
@chardir I had one of those growing up!
Re: New Play Control! Pikmin Out Now on the Wii U eShop in Europe
Too bad this isn't available in NA as well
Re: Capcom is Putting on a Sale on the North American eShops
@chiefeagle02 I was hoping so too. I have all the rest of them.
Re: Super Mario 64 DS Heading to the North American Wii U Virtual Console This Week
I may pick this up if it goes on sale. Since I have the n64 version on the VC I'm in no rush.
Re: Concept Art Surfaces from the Cancelled 'Epic Donald'
It would have been interesting to see what they could have done. I thought the Epic Mickey games had a lot of potential but didn't live up to it (especially the 2nd one)
Re: EA Talks Possible Plans for NX

Re: SEGA is Putting on a 3D Classics Sale in North America
I picked up Shinobi III and After Burner II. All the rest I had already.
Re: A Nicalis Sale is Live on the North American 3DS and Wii U eShops
I'm tempted to pick up the Binding of Isaac but unfortunately do the exchange rate Nintendo of Canada is charging an extra $5 for it
Re: Guide: Where To Preorder The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition In The USA
I don't think I will be getting this since I have virtually all of them on he virtual console. I might pick up one of the controllers though.
Re: Mega Man X Lands on the New 3DS VC Tomorrow in North America
I'm very tempted actually. I found this to be a very enjoyable game. The downside is since I live in Canada NoC charges $11.29 instead of $9.99. I realise that the .$1.30 difference isn't a huge amount but it's enough to make me selective about the SNES VC console titles that I will buy on the New 3DS
Re: Wii U Exclusive, Collateral Thinking, Promises Retro-Style Action Platforming
Looks interesting actually. I will likely hold out for an official review though...
