If I could buy one digital copy of the next Mario kart and I could play it on four screens with my two daughters and wife, I would get four switches. As others have said above family sharing of digital titles is key as is multiplayer with just one copy of a game. (Which I am not sure is possible with Mario kart 8)
It is a shame that more of the good indie games for Wii u are no longer being discounted. There are a few I still want to pick up but it feels like the publishers have all move on.
Gunman and stick it to the man being the exceptions this week ( already have them both though)
I think it is quite clear that the online infrastructure isn't ready yet and won't be ready for launch I don't expect virtual console to launch until the paid online.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE What s clear from this thread is that there is quite a divide between people who want gaming to be as cheap as possible (like you) and people who are prepared to pay a bit more for convenience of digital (@lucifer) .
It is a good game, it will have better load times in switch and will be portable but will lose second screen so could be debated forever which is better. I will stick with Wii u version.
@Mahe Yep, almost bought some more but resisted. Would have probably picked up the two project zero games if there was a launch discount and bigger discount on PZ5
This sale is clearly based on the best selling eshop only games* (including vc) which is why retail releases are excluded. However because it is based on the best selling games, most of us lot have most of the ones we want.
It is a shame galaxy 1 wasn't discounted as galaxy 2 has outsold it due to the length of time it has been available and the launch discount.
@SepticLemon I think Nintendo are ballsy enohugh to go into the phone market which is basically dominated by Samsung and Apple in the same way that Sony and Microsoft are currently controlling the console market. The mobile market is bigger than the console market and Nintendo love the blue ocean.
wild theory time here... what if this is actually a nintendo phone/handheld hybrid. if you look at the size, it is tiny next to the wii u, but turn it vertically and it looks like it could be a phone.

Advance Wars (GBA) on Wii U. Really enjoying this at the moment.
Rtype on Wii U too for short sessions.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th June (Europe)
Finally got heist on Wii U. Would anyone recommend the DLC?
Re: Splatoon 2 Will Launch On 18th August, According To UK Store GAME
I think it is quite clear that the online infrastructure isn't ready yet and won't be ready for launch
I don't expect virtual console to launch until the paid online.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th January (Europe)
Is Nintendo expected to put anything else on Wii U VC now?
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th January (Europe)
No virtual console is a concern, I am still hopeful that we will still get some good ones
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd December (Europe)
Which Lego game would everyone recommend from the discounts? ( Already have undercover)
Also do these Lego games support off TV?
Re: A Special Kirby 25th Anniversary Broadcast Will Air Tomorrow in Japan
Not expecting much as surely they would specify what time they would be releasing the news if something big.

Re: Stardew Valley is Cancelled for Wii U, But It's Heading to Nintendo Switch
@RupeeClock what happened to axiom verge release?
This was the game I was looking at buying day 1 on Wii u to play over Christmas.
Re: Stardew Valley is Cancelled for Wii U, But It's Heading to Nintendo Switch
very disappointed.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st December (Europe)
Good week
Will pick up sonic racing on Wii u as can't remember this being discounted for a very long time.
Might pick up 3d classics too.
Good to see DK jungle beat on Wii u, will eventually get when discounted
Re: European Wii U and 3DS eShop Cyber Deals Now Confirmed
@Peach64 thanks I have just ordered Starfox guard from simply games.com £3.99 is a brilliant deal for it. I am digital only so this is great.
Re: European Wii U and 3DS eShop Cyber Deals Now Confirmed
Last year wasn't a great black Friday sale in Europe but Christmas was pretty good. Hopefully the same this year.
Re: European Wii U and 3DS eShop Cyber Deals Now Confirmed
Shame there is no third party stuff like the USA have with Sega and Lego. Will pick up Yoshi and possibly Tokyo or starfox
Re: Lego City Undercover Is Coming To Nintendo Switch And Other Platforms Next Year
It is a good game, it will have better load times in switch and will be portable but will lose second screen so could be debated forever which is better. I will stick with Wii u version.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th November (Europe)
@ElGrego are you hoping stardew valley will be out next week or just hoping?
Re: Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise Coming to Wii U eShop in Europe
@Sean_Aaron yes the Wii library on Wii u is really impressive now, just a shame prices are a bit high on some of them.
Hoping for more third party games including okami.
Re: Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise Coming to Wii U eShop in Europe
Will get if/when on discount
Re: Reminder: Super Mario Series Wave 2 amiibo Hit North America This Week
Has Mario smash tennis been updated so that the new amiibo can be used in the game?
Re: Nintendo Reports Falling Revenues, Yet Seattle Mariners Sale and Pokémon Help Bring Overall Profit
So if my maths are correct, Nintendo loss over $400m in 6 months before you include Pokemon Go and the Mariners.
They really need the Switch to be a success.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October (Europe)
@Mahe Yep, almost bought some more but resisted. Would have probably picked up the two project zero games if there was a launch discount and bigger discount on PZ5
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October (Europe)
@Angelic_Lapras_King I think they will start over and i don't think there will be DS or 3DS, Wii or Wii u VC so a real step backwards.
Also I think we won't see VC until late 2017 as they will want people buying third party games.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October (Europe)
@Mahe I know last week was really good. I picked up 7 games.
Suppose I should start playing those rather than moaning on internet about lack of discounts this week 😃
The games if anyone is interested were
Year walk
Don't starve
Super castlevania
Chompy chomp
Gunman collection
Pacman world
Costume quest2
The Wii u is such a fantastic machine
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October (Europe)
Poor week, just dance is a good title for families and will pick it up if it goes cheap but no rush.
My main hope for Wii u now is big discounts and Wii games on eshop
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th September (Europe)
Disappointed that the other Sega 3d classics weren't on sale from Thursday
Re: ACT IT OUT! is Bringing Charades and Shenanigans to the Wii U eShop
I like the look of this.pictoparty and spin the bottle are other good eshop party gems
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August (Europe)
@tjhiphop agreed, Nintendo direct?
Re: Stardew Valley is Digging Its Way to Wii U
Great news
Re: Nintendo of Europe Unveils Over 40 Discounts for eShop 5 Year Anniversary Sale
Worked out I will get about 10 games from this list for just over £30, a nice father's day treat from my kids

*Shovel Knight being a notable exception.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th May (Europe)
I think the nis games might be removed shortly hence the very low prices now.
Re: SEGA 3D Classics Collection is Confirmed for Europe
I hope they do a sale of the other 3d classics I want to pick them all up and a sale will irresistible
Re: Reminder: Six Wii U Games Are Now Discounted to Nintendo Selects Prices in the European eShop
@The__Goomba @VanillaLake @Bosh_Factory I have called Nintendo UK and they are looking into it for me
Re: Reminder: Six Wii U Games Are Now Discounted to Nintendo Selects Prices in the European eShop
@The__Goomba @VanillaLake nsmbu is deleted so only way you can get it is by buying the combo. It is not available for 8.99 anywhere as described
Re: Reminder: Six Wii U Games Are Now Discounted to Nintendo Selects Prices in the European eShop
@Sanicranfast Nsmbu (original not combo version) has been deleted off eshop
Re: Reminder: Six Wii U Games Are Now Discounted to Nintendo Selects Prices in the European eShop
Can't see Luigi on eshop anywhere
Re: Nintendo of America Launches eShop 'Super Spring Sale' Discounts on 40 Games
Is this sale or similar coming to Europe?
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo NX Controller Images Surface and Set the Web Alight
@SepticLemon I think Nintendo are ballsy enohugh to go into the phone market which is basically dominated by Samsung and Apple in the same way that Sony and Microsoft are currently controlling the console market. The mobile market is bigger than the console market and Nintendo love the blue ocean.
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo NX Controller Images Surface and Set the Web Alight
just read other comments and other seems to also think it could be a nintendo phone.. I would love that so much
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo NX Controller Images Surface and Set the Web Alight
wild theory time here... what if this is actually a nintendo phone/handheld hybrid. if you look at the size, it is tiny next to the wii u, but turn it vertically and it looks like it could be a phone.
whatever it is, i am intrigued
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th March (Europe)
What are people's thoughts on virtues last reward?
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th March (Europe)
@NodesforNoids @LemonSlice @Warioware @sillygostly thanks everybody for your advice.
Currently playing through pokemon blue but fancy a bit of Phoenix wright. Might get the triology and dual destinies.
I like the look of pokken but can't see myself paying more than £30 for it,. As I am digital only, I think I am in for a very long wait!
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th March (Europe)
Can anyone tell me whether you need the touchscreen on Phoenix wright games? I fancy them but my 3ds touchscreen is very erratic.
Also Nintendo appear to have forgot about Wii u virtual console now that they have snes on new 3ds.
And yes £50 for pokken is crazy hopefully cdkeys and game will do it cheaper.
Re: Review: Star Ghost (Wii U eShop)
Add to watch list like the other comments. Will buy but not yet.
