One of my favourite horror games! I'd probably grab it if it went on a big sale considering I already have it on PC and PS4 and have played through it several times.
I was gonna wait for this version, but got a Switch for Christmas and couldn't resist. I'll likely pick this up later if it goes on sale and give the game a replay. I really like the 3D effects in Steamworld games on 3DS.
Bah and I just spent 120 gold coins on... expiration.
Some decent discounts, but I think I'm pretty much done buying games for my Wii U. I hope some Switch rewards appear before the rest of my coins disappear.
Maybe they'll let us pay for Nintendo Online with coins, that'd at least give us something useful to spend them on.
@Hikingguy Yep it’s been a while. Got the new gear, it’s kinda neat.
One other change I’ve noticed is that I can no longer change my language to Japanese. It sends me to the eShop where it then indicates that I’ve already downloaded the update. (Maybe it’s cause I haven’t bought the DLC?)
I'm so glad I managed to get one of these when they finally showed up in North America. At the low price I was hoping to grab a second one as a backup once they were back in stock, but they never came back
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.)

Re: Kirby Studio HAL Laboratory's Smartphone Game 'Part Time UFO' Is Now Available Worldwide
I got it, it's pretty adorable. Normally I don't normally enjoy playing games on my phone, but I can make an exception for HAL.
Re: Review: SteamWorld Dig 2 (3DS eShop)

Re: Check Out All These New Discounts on My Nintendo in North America
I just went through my coins history to see how many coins I've lost to expiration.
1060 Platinum and 200 Gold.
I've only redeemed 660 Platinum and 100 Gold for actual rewards.
Looks like I get 60 gold coins from a full priced game purchase, so to get those 200 gold coins that vanished I had to spend about $200 on the eShop.
From my experience this rewards program is doing more harm than good.

Re: The Fall Part 2: Unbound Is Set To Take Over The Switch This February
I got the first one from a humble bundle and wasn't expecting much, but it was actually a really cool game.
Re: Super Mario Land 2 Gets a Fan-Made Colour Treatment
This looks fantastic! Really makes me wanna take some time and replay that game.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Gets Wii U Update To Improve Gameplay
I have a XC2 quest now, is that new?
Re: Video: Bloodstained Development Team Shares New Footage
I wasn't super impressed by the last gameplay demo, but this is looking really good! Also the soundtrack sounds awesome.
Re: Talking Point: An Era Ends As Nintendo Continues to Ignore 3D on the 3DS
Maan, the new Layton is 2D only? That's actually super disappointing. Maybe I'll just not bother with it...
Re: Video: Get a Good Look at SteamWorld Dig 2 in the Launch Trailer
I don't have a Switch yet, but if they happen to release it on 3DS (or maybe even Vita) I'll get it for sure!
Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS is Discontinued Globally - An Era Ends
I'm so glad I managed to get one of these when they finally showed up in North America. At the low price I was hoping to grab a second one as a backup once they were back in stock, but they never came back
Re: Kirby’s Blowout Blast Releases in North America on 6th July
Looks pretty awesome. Kirby games tend to be very high quality so I'll probably get this one.
Re: Confidence in Nintendo Grows as Share Value Surpasses Previous Pokémon GO Peak
Nice! I always tell myself I'll buy shares in Nintendo someday, and then never do.
Also for anyone that wants to see something impressive, take a look at their share price back in the Wii days, it was nuts!
Re: Video: This Fan-Made Clip Is The Best Commercial For The Nintendo Switch Yet
Really cool!
Re: Nintendo Badge Arcade Receives Its Last Set of Badges in Japan Later This Month
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.
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!
Re: SteamWorld Heist's DLC is Called "The Outsider", and is Coming Very Soon
Pretty excited! I really enjoyed this game.
Re: Video: Mekazoo Continues to Look Like a Platforming Gem in Latest Trailer
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.
