I've played Donkey Kong Country before. Not on a console I actually owned, went to a friends house for that. I just can't see the appeal for me. I wish they would add Super Metroid to the 3DS VC. Metroid 1 and 2 are all well and good but c'mon!

Yeah actually, I don't like Metroid Fusion, and Metroid 1 is kinda horrible, but I'd love to be able to play Super Metroid on my 3DS.

It will always hold a special place in my heart and I loved the controls on that vs Super Metroid. Plus the Gcn's GBA connector cable would allow you to change into the fusion suit through prime. It wasn't seen often but it was still a cool addition. Off Metroid for now, if we could get Link to the Past on the 3DS eshop, we'd have a complete Zelda timeline from ocarina to Zelda 2. that's the Hero's defeat timeline.

I forget how this works - if I buy an eShop/DSIware/Virtual Console game on 3Ds now, will I get Club Nintendo coins right away, or do I have to fill out a survey first? I'm itching to buy a few things, but I've been holding off for the new "fiscal year" when the Platinum Status resets. If I can delay the coin payouts with surveys however, I'll just buy some stuff now. tl,dr: Can I buy a digital 3DS game now, but not get coins for it til July?

Yeah you have to fill out the surveys to get the coins. The registration survey might expire before July, but you should be good on the post-play.

Eruonen posted:At what time does the eStore update? I can't wait for the Zelda games! Last time I checked the store it said they'd be putting up the Oracle games at "9 AM", though it didn't indicate what time zone. I had Oracle of Seasons when I was a kid and unfortunately never got Ages too, so I couldn't get to see any of the cross-version stuff. For some reason I haven't had any interest in going back to play them until now, but I've heard a bunch of bad things about the dungeon design in Ages. Is there any truth to that? I'm gonna buy them both tomorrow anyway, though.

I finished Picross E-2 and all I got was a medal and the staff telling me "wait for the next installment of Picross". Nice. I can't wait to spend other 20 hours on a new Picross E title. I am also trying to finish the last level of Harmoknight (the real last level, that one of the world in the clouds) and I can't tell you how much I love do a sequence of precise jumps at the right time while killing ghosts and flames and the camera zooms and rotates just to confuse you more at the final steps of the level and then die by falling in the chasm This title is good but I won't buy rhythm games after this one. RBA Starblade posted:I never beat either of them, and after Skyward Sword I kind of want to play more 2d Zelda. I remember playing Oracle of Ages and loving it until I got to some portion with a kangaroo or something you used to jump across holes, getting off, and somehow getting Link to a position where he couldn't get back to it, and couldn't progress further in the game without it, loving me over permanently. Are you sure there is no way to force the game by using the oracle wand to get back to the first screen of that area and reset the kangaroo position? I can remember failing that part twice before being able to go over it.

The New Super Luigi U devs have confirmed the DLC will be 1.5GB in size. There's also a NSMBU patch that'll be out on the same day that adds support for the Pro Controller.

Whoa, between this and Nintendo recently patching the Wii U firmware to allow changing the screen size and such, it's almost like Nintendo is starting to understand that not everyone who plays their games is happy with the exact same setup and control scheme.

Wait, the flagship Mario game doesn't work with the Pro Controller? As in, the alternative controller they introduced right alongside the console to play any game a player wouldn't want to use the tablet with? That's incredibly shortsighted.

I don't think you can use the gamepad as a regular controller in multiplayer, either - whoever has the gamepad is restricted to assist mode.

Argh, I had put the 2 Zelda games on my wishlist, and it gave me a notice that "games on your wishlist are now available", but I can't actually buy them?! Because its not 9am?! I was hoping to grab them before I had to leave for work, where I won't have any WiFi....

I can remember failing that part twice before being able to go over it. He could also literally just turn the game off and back on, because even if he saved I'm pretty sure the game resets your position to the last door you went through

Buy either Ghosts 'n Goblins or Mega Man X, get the other for half price! (Wii U VC) - ends June 6 What a weird sale. If you want to do this, make sure you buy GnG first. You save $1.50 extra by doing so. $9 for both actually sounds like a pretty good deal to me. elf help book fucked around with this message at 14:27 on May 30, 2013 |

Checked out The Denpa Men 2 trailer, and wow, it's a huge improvment! The first game seemed a little light on content, but the new one seems like a pretty fleshed out old-school RPG (With worldmap, fishing mini-game and etc)

I will to this day never understand why people continue to complain about how there are no SNES games on the 3DS when NES games have oddly distorted resolution more often than not. I don't want SNES games looking muddled, I want them looking Pixel perfect unless they're abusing fake transparency like KDL3.

I can remember failing that part twice before being able to go over it. This was years ago but from what I remember the kangaroo's position would not reset. I also tried restarting the game but I would end up on one side of the screen and the kangaroo remained on the other, across a pit.

I really wish SNES VC games were available on 3DS. I'd buy every single SNES game they have for my 3DS, but I don't really care about buying them for my WiiU. I've got an actual SNES still, but playing those games on the go whenever I have my 3ds would be super cool.

They really should not have put "Available at 9 AM" without a specific time zone. Its 10:30 where I live and the Oracles aren't available yet.
