I imagine they'll just put the badges on a random rotation once they stop producing new ones. It'll take an eternity to collect em all without paying for plays.
@RoboBubble We've gotta join forces and let Nintendo know we won't stand for this! PSN games aren't more expensive in Canada, and I don't think Steam games are either. And like you say, I'll pay a bit extra on a brand new game, since otherwise people will just import all their new games from Canada, but on digital copies of old games, we should just pay the original price. My income doesn't increase when the Canadian dollar tanks, so why do they think I can suddenly blow more of it on low-priority game purchases?
TL;DR: If Wii games on Wii U were $20 in Canada I'd buy at least three of them right now.
I didn't realize the Wii controls were changed so much. I enjoyed the Gamecube version and might have to give this if the Canadian dollar improves and games go back to regular prices. $19.99 for these is good, but the nearly $30 they cost right now is a little high for old games.
I got the NA version of this deal on my birthday last month. Owned everything I would have wanted from it, so I didn't bother cashing it in. Thanks Nintendo, but maybe next year!
I got this in a Humble Bundle and had no idea what it was going to be about. It really surprised me! Great atmosphere, super creative design, and the story is awesome. I'll be playing the second one for sure.
I think most of us expected this. As long as they don't delay the Wii U version, like they did with Twilight Princess on Gamecube I won't get too upset.
@aaronsullivan You are actually right. I do love Shovel Knight, but I'd also love to see what else these guys would come up with if they moved on to something new.
I am so excited! I've often wondered if the guys from CiNG would get back together and give us a new adventure game, and now it's really happening! (Well, for Japan at least.)
Yaay! I put off buying Boxboy for quite a while cause it looked a bit too simple, and didn't have stereoscopic 3D. Once I did have it I played almost non-stop though. Turned out to be a perfect little game.
I definitely don't mind the changes to Lin's costumes, but removal of the bust size customization and changes to adult character costumes probably weren't necessary.

Re: Nintendo Badge Arcade Receives Its Last Set of Badges in Japan Later This Month

Re: My Nintendo Gets a Fresh Batch of Rewards
I'd go for those Pikmin 3 stages, but I'm not in Europe.
Re: Scandinavian Retailer Prompts Concerns Around NES Mini Production
I'd be happy enough with one of the controllers, but even those are impossible to find.
Re: New My Nintendo Rewards Try to Show The Love for Valentine's Day
BAAAH, I seriously just bought Rhythm Heaven a couple weeks ago.
Re: Two More 3DS Titles Are Joining the Nintendo Selects Range in North America
If only these weren't priced so high in Canada. $29.99 doesn't feel all that special for an older portable game.
Re: Video: Super Retro Boy Hands-On Reveals Neat Form Factor, Lack Of Rear Shoulder Buttons
It's a neat idea, but having the L + R buttons on the front makes me wonder if the designers... ever actually played a GBA?
Re: Rumour: Mother 3 Will Be Unveiled for the Switch VC at the Switch Reveal Next Week
Technically Mother 3 is on the Wii U Virtual Console already though. Couldn't this just mean Japan is also getting it on the Switch?
Re: My Nintendo's New Year Rewards Add Some Fresh Discounts
I like using the 30% discounts to get the American prices in Canada!
Re: Rumour: Intelligent Systems Has Canned A Crashmo Sequel For Wii U
Aww. I'm always up for some new Pushmo. I hope it's just being moved to the Switch.
Re: Rumour: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Won't Be Ready by March
Maybe it's only delayed on the Wii U, like back when Twilight Princess came out and they delayed it on Gamecube to punish people who didn't get a Wii.
Mostly kidding, I really have no clue.
Re: Budget New Nintendo 3DS Models Announced for North America
Oh nice, it's the 3DS I've been waiting for, at the price I've been waiting for. Just when I've all but run out of things to play on it...
I'll likely get it anyway.

Re: Video: Game Center DX Shows Off The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Looks so good. This'll be a perfect send-off for the wonderful Wii U.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Formalises the Nintendo Account 'Just for You' Birthday Deals
I got the NA version of this deal on my birthday last month. Owned everything I would have wanted from it, so I didn't bother cashing it in. Thanks Nintendo, but maybe next year!
Re: Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories Arrives on the 3DS eShop Soon
Wow so soon!
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is Out Today on the Wii U eShop
I love this game! Played through it three times on my friend's copy. Maybe now I can finally get my own.
Re: Feature: Over The Moon on Lessons Learned With The Fall and Continuing ARID's Story in Part 2
I got this in a Humble Bundle and had no idea what it was going to be about. It really surprised me! Great atmosphere, super creative design, and the story is awesome. I'll be playing the second one for sure.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Thinks You Should Give Star Fox Zero Another Try
I really liked Pikmin 3, but I haven't found anyone to play Bingo mode with. Maybe I should give it a shot.
And as for Star Fox Zero. I wanna try it, but I'm waiting on a bit of a price drop. Not sure if it's a game I would really enjoy.
Re: E3 2016: Check Out the Paper Mario: Color Splash E3 Trailer
I really liked Sticker Star but... why would they use that formula again? It really didn't go over well the first time.
Re: Stardew Valley is Digging Its Way to Wii U
This game seems like a perfect fit for the Wii U. Should be great!
Re: Video: Fresh Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 Footage Is Here To Burn Your Eyeballs
Looks kinda cool. I hope they don't cut out a lot of the dialogue for the localized version like they did last time.
Re: The Legend of Zelda Wii U Has Been Pushed Back to 2017, Will Release On NX As Well
I think most of us expected this. As long as they don't delay the Wii U version, like they did with Twilight Princess on Gamecube I won't get too upset.
Re: Yacht Club Games Gives Details on Huge Shovel Knight Sales in Extensive Blog and Infographic
@aaronsullivan You are actually right. I do love Shovel Knight, but I'd also love to see what else these guys would come up with if they moved on to something new.
Re: Yacht Club Games Gives Details on Huge Shovel Knight Sales in Extensive Blog and Infographic
They're doing 2 more free campaigns!? That's nuts!

Pretty excited! I really enjoyed this game.

Very cool looking! Just needs an awesome soundtrack to match.
Re: Review: Mutant Mudds Super Challenge (3DS eShop)
I had totally forgotten that this game was coming out today. When I realized I literally lunged for my 3DS!
Re: Interview: Renegade Kid on Stepping it Up With Mutant Mudds Super Challenge
I'll definitely do my first run on 3DS. I really liked how they used 3D in the first game.
Re: Review: EarthBound (New 3DS / SNES)
This is probably the most important video game of my life.
Re: Chase: Unsolved Cases Investigation Division - Distant Memories is Bringing Hardboiled Detective Work to 3DS
I am so excited! I've often wondered if the guys from CiNG would get back together and give us a new adventure game, and now it's really happening! (Well, for Japan at least.)
Re: River City Ransom SP is Looking Fighting Fit in Latest Trailer
This looks amazing! Pleaaaaaaaaaase come to NA!
Re: Exclusive: Mutant Mudds Super Challenge Launch Details are Confirmed
So many good reasons to buy a game I was already going to buy. Also, TWENTY playable characters???
Re: Splatoon Updates to Continue Into 2016
Still playing every now and then! This was probably my favorite part of the Nintendo direct.
Re: Nintendo Issues Statement Clarifying How 'Petting' Will Work in Fire Emblem Fates
I don't really mind them removing this content, but maybe they should cut a few bucks off the cost of the game too. (It's like reverse DLC!)
Re: Feature: Looking Back at the New 3DS Launch, Nintendo's Perfect Valentine's Day Gift
I'd love to get one, but NOA is making it difficult.
Re: New North American Nintendo Selects Range Emerges in Retailer Listings
I'd love to see these prices on the eShop. I've been wanting to replace my disc copies of SM3DW and Pikmin 3 with digital copies.
Re: Video: Get a First Look at the Pixelated Chaos of Shakedown Hawaii on 3DS
Man that guy is talented. This should be pretty cool.
Re: Mutant Mudds Super Challenge Has Been Submitted to Nintendo
Yay! Looking forward to this! Hope it includes some new tunes. (Can't remember if the demo music was new or not.)
Also, the site layout changed! Looks good!
Re: Image & Form Hails SteamWorld Heist as "an Even Bigger Success Than SteamWorld Dig"
Nice job! It's a great game. Hope it does well on all the other platforms.
Re: Ninterview: Retro Video Gaming's Heidi stopXwhispering On Building The Ultimate Game Room
Such an awesome room!
Re: BOXBOY! is Getting a Sequel
Yaay! I put off buying Boxboy for quite a while cause it looked a bit too simple, and didn't have stereoscopic 3D. Once I did have it I played almost non-stop though. Turned out to be a perfect little game.
Re: 'Brain Training' Games Aren't All They're Cracked Up to be
@KeeperBvK Yeah I spose you've got a point.
Re: 'Brain Training' Games Aren't All They're Cracked Up to be
You need science to back up your ads? Guess lots of people might be in trouble.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th January (Europe)
What! Drill Dozer!? Such a cool/weird game.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Voice Actress Is In Favour Of Lin's Western Costume Change
I definitely don't mind the changes to Lin's costumes, but removal of the bust size customization and changes to adult character costumes probably weren't necessary.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks Are Available Now on the Wii U eShop in Europe
@Tetra I actually played on my DS. That's an interesting question though... I'm really not sure how you'd do that on the Wii U.
Re: Video: How to Get a Skell in Xenoblade Chronicles X, Including Locations of Rare Items
I just got my Skell the other night! Took me HOURS to find the squashes, but I wanted to do it without using a guide.
Re: An Enhanced Version of River City Ransom is Being Made for 3DS
Oooh, this is exciting. My brother and I played a ton of River City Ransom as kids. That game was way ahead of its time.
Re: Final Fantasy VI Advance Arrives on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan
Here's hoping for the SNES version.
