Initially I wasn't planning to get anything but I decided to snatch up the Star Wars pinball while it was on sale. I was tempted before but never $10 tempted.
I've grabbed the free ones. I'm waiting until after the first when the August rewards go live. I would rather use my platinum points towards games then Miitomo shirts.
I hope they will produce a game that will be more then mediocre. I've always leaned more towards Nintendo games but I have found the genesis era sonic games to be entertaining.
I don't recall there being other mention of delays prior to now, so I'm not concerned. I'm actually releived that they're taking the time to do it right rather then patch it later.
I already have the physical DS copy but I enjoy the Metroid franchise enough I will probably double dip on this. Besides the gold My Nintendo points are kind of appealing.
I might actually pick this up and trade in my physical copy. I've been slowly moving away from physical releases for the convienance of digital copies.
I'm more interested in the games rather then the Miitomo bonuses or the 3DS themes. The discounts don't interest me since I've got those games already, mostly in physical form. All of the virtual console ones except DKCR I have already so I'm passing on those, but still plan on getting DKCR if I can get enough gold coins in time.
I grabbed WarioWare Touched already since that one expires first. Next will be the Twilight Princess Picross, and I'm relatively close to getting that already.
Already have the digital copy. Glad to see them give this option though. I bet there are a number of people they may not realize there is a digital version.
I lean towards physical in case it's a game that I can't get into and I can trade it in for store credit towards other games. Having said that, if it's a game I go back to frequently I am open to getting the digital copy.
I am going to pass on this. I've already picked up the PC version and it was a game I didn't enjoy enough at the time to make me want to double dip now...
I'm glad they're doing this. Helps justify upgrading to the new 3DS. However Since there is no cross buy I'm just limiting myself to a couple of them, specifically Mario World and a Link to The Past for now.
At least I will be able to get a metaknight Amiibo, even if it's not the smash one. And it's cool thst there are more new 3DS exclusives, even if some of them are just snes virtual console games.
These reviews are a duel edge sword for me. It's cool to find out about games that I've never heard of before but it makes me sad that I can't conviently get them on the virtual console.
I was planning to sleep in, but since I'm transitioning from my 4 day shifts to my one night shift that week I will probably be up early enough to catch this, and start one of the VC offerings from the day before...
This would be a good place for the "Sceptical cat is sceptical" meme... I can see Nintendo stepping it up in the advertising area and possibly offer some bundling. Having said that unless Nintendo is shifting from game consoles to entertainment hubs I can't see the app idea flying too far.
I will be picking up the Ninja Giaden and Double Dragon sequels on the VC. I might be tempted to get sonic lost world depending what discount they offer.
I will probably wait until it goes on sale later this year... Until then I may re-play Lego City Undercover or dust off Lego Star Wars if I need a Lego fix

Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August (North America)
@SavageGM I agree. I was expecting they would recycle games once a month like they did on club Nintendo.

I hope they will be able to find the development jobs they are looking for.

Re: My Nintendo Really Wants You To Use Miitomo, But Only Offers 2 Points in New Daily 'Mission'
I'm still using it, mainly to get the my nintendo platinum coins, so what works out to an extra 10 coins a week is a nice bonus.
Re: Scott Moffitt is Leaving Nintendo
There is a possibility that he is moving on and they decided to dissolve the position rather then refill it.
Re: Sonic Team is Working on a New Sonic Game
I hope they will produce a game that will be more then mediocre. I've always leaned more towards Nintendo games but I have found the genesis era sonic games to be entertaining.

Re: Nintendo Unveils Seven New Super Mario Series amiibo, Including Waluigi
Finally a chance to get Wario. I will probably end up picking up waluigi and boo
Re: B3 Game Expo For Bees Gets Surprise Price Cut
For that price I am tempted. From the reviews I've read it looks like a good game but was too short based on the original price.
Re: Nordic Games is Actually Working on a Wii U Release
I've played the PC version of Darksiders and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely double dip and get a Wii U port if they do it
Re: Yooka-Laylee Delayed Until 2017, E3 2016 Trailer Looks Lovely All The Same
I don't recall there being other mention of delays prior to now, so I'm not concerned. I'm actually releived that they're taking the time to do it right rather then patch it later.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo UK Hints at More Mario Kart 8 DLC
I wouldn't mind some more courses as paid dlc. It would be great if they expanded multi player mode.

I already have the physical DS copy but I enjoy the Metroid franchise enough I will probably double dip on this. Besides the gold My Nintendo points are kind of appealing.
Re: My Nintendo Now Offers Platinum Points if You Sign Up for Promotional Emails
I don't mind the random Nintendo promo emails. Easy platinum points.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Arrives on the North American VC Tomorrow
I will probably pick this up, I prefer playing LoZ games on a larger screen anyways...
Re: There's a New Miitomo Update Coming Soon
Hopefully they will let us search by Nintendo ID or Miitomo user name.
Re: Random: Watch Bowser Perform Rhythmic Gymnastics
I'm not sure if I should be impressed or scared. Maybe a little of both.
Re: My Nintendo's Rewards Have Been Updated for May
The only one that is tempting to me is Mario Mini's. I've got the others already already.
Re: Reminder: This is the Final Day for a Number of My Nintendo Rewards
I've passed on them. I already have the physical copies of most of these games and the discounts aren't enticing enough to make me jump to digital
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Looks Set For The North American Wii U Virtual Console
I might actually pick this up and trade in my physical copy. I've been slowly moving away from physical releases for the convienance of digital copies.
Re: Video: See If This Tale of the Cancelled Dirty Harry Game Makes Your Day
Would have been interesting to see a cell shaded Dirty Harry.
Re: Reminder: All of the Expiry Dates to Help You Plan Your My Nintendo Rewards
I'm more interested in the games rather then the Miitomo bonuses or the 3DS themes. The discounts don't interest me since I've got those games already, mostly in physical form.

Re: Nintendo of America Launches eShop 'Super Spring Sale' Discounts on 40 Games
I'm planning to pick up Mario Tennis:Ultra Strike, Tekken Tag tournament and a couple virtual console titles....
Re: Editorial: Miitomo is Surprisingly Strange and Compelling
It's easier to sink time into this then I thought it would be. To be honest I'm mostly doing it for the platinum coins though.
Re: Road Redemption's Wii U Release is Looking Rather Doubtful
That's too bad. I was interested in it.
Re: Hurrah, Miitomo Is Now Available In The West
Unfortunately it freezes on me when I try and link to Twitter on my iPhone 6S running iOS 9.3
Re: Capcom Celebrates Resident Evil's 20th Anniversary
I kind of expect them to just put the rest of the Wii RE games onto the eShop and call it a day...
Re: Poll: Are You Ready to Download More of Your Retail Games From the eShop?
I lean towards physical in case it's a game that I can't get into and I can trade it in for store credit towards other games. Having said that, if it's a game I go back to frequently I am open to getting the digital copy.
Re: Miitomo Launches in Japan on 17th March
I'm hoping they will surprise us and do a world wide launch.
Re: We'll Be Cursing At Super Meat Boy's Insane Difficulty "Very Very Very Soon"
I am going to pass on this. I've already picked up the PC version and it was a game I didn't enjoy enough at the time to make me want to double dip now...
Re: Pokémon Go is All Set for a March 'Field Test' in Japan
I've been hooked on Ingress and would probably end up switching to this once it comes out in NA
Re: SNES Games Finally Arriving on the New Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console
I'm glad they're doing this. Helps justify upgrading to the new 3DS. However Since there is no cross buy I'm just limiting myself to a couple of them, specifically Mario World and a Link to The Past for now.
Re: Live Blog: Watch the North American March 2016 Nintendo Direct - Live!
At least I will be able to get a metaknight Amiibo, even if it's not the smash one. And it's cool thst there are more new 3DS exclusives, even if some of them are just snes virtual console games.
Re: Review: Front Mission (SNES)
These reviews are a duel edge sword for me. It's cool to find out about games that I've never heard of before but it makes me sad that I can't conviently get them on the virtual console.
Re: Ubisoft Discounts Galore in 2-Week North American eShop Sale
I've grabbed Rayman Legends. I'm tempted to get Tetris as well.

Re: Nintendo Download: 18th February (North America)
I will be picking up the Ninja Giaden and Double Dragon sequels on the VC. I might be tempted to get sonic lost world depending what discount they offer.
Re: Pokémon Rumble World Comes to Retail in North America on 29th April
Tempting, I kind of wish there was the retail option for Pokemon Shuffle though.
Re: Review: LEGO Marvel’s Avengers (Wii U)
I will probably wait until it goes on sale later this year... Until then I may re-play Lego City Undercover or dust off Lego Star Wars if I need a Lego fix
Re: Video: Snazzy New Trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Shows Off Visuals and Features
Definitely plan to pick this up.
Re: Review: FreezeME (Wii U eShop)
