The point of the Best Buy displays is not to sell consoles to people who already have them. :ssh:

"This game is fun. So if I buy this Wii U I can play this?"
"Yes! In six to nine months"
"...right."

That fact that this is terrible (in my opinion) advertising aside, couldn't they appeal to Wii U owners as well as potential new customers at the same time?

Bah, right after I buy PacMan/Galaga Dimensions! Guess I'll try selling that, unless they really bork the new version somehow. Pacman as a digital title is perfect.

Pacman Galaga was a pretty fun title for early on in the 3DS Lifespan. Too bad the new games they pushed out in that were really weak.

Well this is a shock. So Capcom decides to celebrate Megaman in Smash Bros by release MM2, 3 and 4 on Wii U VC. So if you want some more Megaman well there ya go.

Namco Museum for DS includes a Download Play version of Pac-Man Vs., in case you didn't know.

One irritating thing about that collection - they announced a new Pac-man CE revision called CE DX+ that'll come as a free title update for the PSN/XBLA versions, but it seems like the version included in the compilations is regular ol' CE DX. Don't be weird, Namco.

Picross-E is finally available in North America.
It is awesomely designed with no puzzles requiring any guessing (but that doesn't mean it's not challenging).
It has a total of around 150 puzzles ranging in size from 5x5 (some take around a dozen seconds to finish), 10x10, to 15x15.
I can't recommend it enough for genre fans.

Also, playing through Picross E-3 (Japan) now.
Tweaks include clues and hints that can be turned on/off, and the ability to turn off the time penalty for screwing up.
The puzzles are again of fantastic quality. I'm at around the 20th Normal puzzle (so I'm into the 15x15 puzzles), and they're all exquisitely designed to give up sqaures grudgingly, often one at a time.

No, although each of the Picross E titles have added modes with giant puzzles that are pieced together, etc.

Still, give it a try. Toward the end, the 15x15 puzzles take me up to 20 minutes (and I'm good at blipping through these).
It's not like the total crap DSi e-shop outings from Hudson. Those were plainly terrible.

For $6, I get around 20+ hours total play time. It's money well spent.
When I start playing, I have a tough time making myself stop.
