LightningKimba posted:That the odd part - They put on the shop the generic icon until like weeks after, they update it to have the NES splash that Super Mario Bros has as an example. It took quite a while for Donkey Kong Jr. to get a proper splash, so it's really a Nintendo thing why some VC games don't get a proper splash when they're finally available to the public. Its not just missing the usual icon, its also without Save States. I'm especially pissed that they didn't release the update since deleting and re-downloading it also wiped my End of Game save.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:NCL sent out a new Nintendo Direct Mini vid in regards to the next (last?) batch of NSMB2 DLC maps - these ones look to be based on levels from classic SMB games: Those were some fun levels right there, like how they merged 1-1 and 1-2 from SMB into the first stage, loved the little secrets in the SMB 3 stage, Though found it wierd that the castle had a warp pipe to NSMB2 1-1 filled with gold coin blocks. Would've liked seeing a different retro stage honestly.

Mercury Crusader posted:I still think it's weird that the 3DS Virtual Console has NES games on there. I figured they'd be all-portable, but whatever. Wanna see Neo Geo Pocket Color games show up on there down the road, but considering how slow/unwilling third parties are to put anything on the 3DS VC, They probably picked NES because they didn't want to give ambassadors 20 GBA games. That or they just didn't have any better thing to drop on there. Though I will say, Punch-Out on the 3DS is loving impossible to beat because Mr. Dream's tell is too hard to see on the tiny screen, it might be better on the 3DS XL but I'm not buying one of those so its a moot point. Would LOVE to see more Game Gear games here in the US, but they don't seem to want to release them anymore.

And that there's an arcade port of it on a rather cheap compilation cart on the 3DS that has Galaga too? Seriously Nintendo, what a loving waste of a week. Could've released anything and you released something that's already on the drat service.

Well, I think they did the same thing with Block Ball, took them two months to finally get it out. So I'm expecting Ninja Gaiden on the second thursday of January. Also, we're getting SMB2 JP for the 3DS as well? I'd consider it if I didn't already own three copies of that. I'll probably end up buying it anyway, another game on the go can't be all that bad.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Capcom announced that MM1-6 are coming to the NA 3DS eShop - MM1 will be out on the 27th, MM2 on February 7, the rest "at regular intervals" ie not all at once and no quicker than the average VC release. No introductory / anniversary sale or any of that crap. Joy. I wouldn't be surprised if MM2 is the only game they release in February. What a loving waste, I would be happier if they just gave us three at a time, that way I could get MM3 right away, that's my favorite one. I wouldn't be surprised if MM6 doesn't come out until mid-2014 or never at all, since we still don't have it on the Wii Shop either. Though, that one was pretty mediocre, I wouldn't really miss it. EDIT: my mistake, the backdrops have multiple layers. Still, they don't really mesh well at all with the 8-bit graphics. Might be because they look 16-bit, and really colorful.

Look at the Game Gear VC for example: -Ability to change resolution on the fly without having to hold a button down when booting the game up. -Motion Blur option. -Multiple different colors for the "Game Gear" shell in Dot by Dot mode. -Option for "Original Performance" or "Special Performance", I think this means if poo poo flickers or not. -All the features Nintendo VC games have. Why can't Nintendo use Sega's program? its better.

Regy Rusty posted:Playing them in order is actually pretty interesting because I can see how they're adding improvements each time. 3 is pretty much a beefed up 2, the bosses still knock you out of their arena as opposed to hurting you Except for the Final Boss, which is also the only way to get a Game Over, however unlike 2 where you are as strong as you'll ever be right from the start, WL3 decides to strip you down to being able to do the weakest possible charge attack, giving yourself the ability to throw enemies, swim, a stronger charge attack and the ground pound later on. Its also more focused on back-tracking to older levels to get more treasure, of which there are 4 in each level (Collection of a treasure also ends the level), some of which are just for show, others give you a means to progress forward. I'd say its like Metroid if it was Level-based and Samus was a greedy gently caress who couldn't die. That being said, other than the annoying at times bosses, the game does like to gently caress you over with the status inflictions sometimes, and has a habit of foregoing puzzles (Since 3 is a Puzzle platformer, for the most part.) for a moderately annoying Golf Mini-game where you have to knock Kiiby into a whole under par, fail and you have to try again at the loss of 10 coins. Speaking of coins, those take a backseat in this game, they only come out of blocks and enemies, and are not lying about in the open. There's also a Day/Night system, certain treasures can only be obtained in one time of day, the enemies are different too, you'll see Zombies at night, for example, and the Donut chef in the day. Its by far a different beast than the rest of the series, but its by no means bad. I would love them to make a Virtual Boy Virtual Console just so we could see an official re-release of VB Wario Land. I don't even care if it doesn't have 3D.

Regy Rusty posted:Well regardless of which Wario game anyone thinks is the best, I think there's one thing we can all agree on: Master of Disguise was a horrible abomination that no one should ever play. I played that once at a Gamestop demo kiosk. Well, by played I mean "Ran around the same circle of rooms a while", the game was almost unplayable Either somebody had intentionally hosed up the touch screen calibration or something, because the little puzzles were undoable, they would go fine for a small bit, then WHAM I would fail because it suddenly jerked up for whatever reason.

The Club Nintendo Games of the Month: Tetris (3DS) - 150 Coins Snowpack Park (Wii) - 150 Coins (This one's been up before I believe) Punch-Out (3DS) - 200 Coins Mario Kart 64 (Wii) - 200 Coins Pretty good, this is a great chance for people to pick up MK64 if they don't have it already. Though I would probably avoid getting Punch-Out on the 3DS unless you have an XL.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it vanished again before the week ends. In which case they'll keep it retired for another 4 months or so before bringing them out again. I would get one personally, but I don't have a gold Wiimote to go with it so the coins would be wasted and I'm not keen on selling things off. That, and I'm 350 coins short. I should just save up for G&W Collection 2 since that's the last cool thing I want.

Oh boy, it looks like we're getting some 3DS shovelware this week. Its weeks like these where a VC release would be smart for NoA. If they don't want sales of good 3DS Downloadables to be stolen away by the oldies, then they need to put the oldies on weeks where they aren't putting out stuff people will actually buy (i.e. Put VC games out during weeks where the most you can throw out is garbage or almost nothing, and not on weeks where Pushmo-tier stuff is.) But then again, smart online decisions don't really seem to be understood by NoA, if they want money they simply need to put things out that people want to buy. Then again, I could be totally wrong, maybe there's a huge market for more Fishing and Hunting games and "Pet Simulators" (At least, that's what I'm gathering from '101 DinoPets 3D').

So it shows that Japan has (Mostly) good taste in VC Games (And what games they have that we don't yet, like KDL2). Still, Rockman 6 is on the list, but not 4? 3 is lower than 2? What bullshit, that's only further cementing that stupid notion that "All the new megamans should be like 2 because that was the best." Anyway, I sort of like how the list of newer games is pretty good save for those "Simple Series" entries, aren't those the Japanese equivalent of Shovelware?

Other than "So cheap its almost free" Balloon Fight on the Wii U, not much interesting this week. I guess Super C but I haven't played Contra so that doesn't really matter to me. I do love that the VC games are in the correct Aspect Ratio though, no more stretching to fill the screen.

I've had that game for as long as I can remember and I'll probably never beat it. Oh, it really is. I've had issues getting back to higher tables when falling to the lower ones.
