I haven't seen this pointed out, but for those who don't know or didn't realise, you can upgrade your Wii VC purchases to Wii U for $1.50 or whatever and it'll make you eligible for the DKC Tropical Freeze/DKCR3D sales prices.

PAL update (week of March 5):quote:WII U eSHOP DOWNLOADS A word on OlliOlli: the launch discount is temporary but the cross-buy offer is permanent. If you want cross-buy to work you need to make sure you have your NNID linked to bot your Wii U and 3DS before making the purchase. Proun+ is a well-reviewed sorta-racer for iOS/PC; it looks like a good fit for 3D, so let's hope they did a decent job with the port. Flying Dragon and Kung-Fu Heroes are games by an obscure Japanese studio called Culture Brain - these games were not on the Wii VC and have never been re-released, as far as I can tell, but I can't imagine anyone was really hanging out for them.

You left the Kirby themes on there from last week. However, it did remind me to pick up the craft paper one, and it is pretty adorable.

Probably because Australia just flat out didn't get them last week, when we usually get theme shop updates around the same time as the rest of the PAL regions.

All right, I'm having the urge to play Mario 3. I don't think I have played it in actual hardware since 1994 and emulation elsewhere mostly uses American roms, so I need to now the following: the 3DS Euro VC version of Mario 3 is 50 or 60Hz?

If I'm not mistaken 3DS Euro VC games are 60Hz while the Wii U and Wii ones are 50Hz. The few 3DS VC games I've bought (The 6 Mega Man games and Super Contra) are definetly 60Hz.

On a similar note, does Majora's Mask run at 50 Hz on PAL Wiis and does that actually affect anything, since the game runs at 20 fps anyway?

Anyone bought Mario 3 on the 3DS (and maybe the Wii U while we are at it)? ChaosArgate posted:On a similar note, does Majora's Mask run at 50 Hz on PAL Wiis and does that actually affect anything, since the game runs at 20 fps anyway? No Wii VC game was over 50Hz, AFAIK. They only start changing that recently with the Wii U and (hopefully) 3DS. If anything, Majora Mask would run 18% slower on top of being 20 fps. The wonders of being an Euro gamer.

The Free DLC to Shovel Knight, Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows, was revealed at Pax. http://yachtclubgames.com/2015/03/introducing-shovel-knight-plague-of-shadows-playstation-release-date-pax-east-plush/  quote:In this adventure, you play as Plague Knight, the villainous master of alchemy, in a quest all his own. Using his maniacal scientific mind, Plague Knight is seeking to concoct Serum Supernus, the Ultimate Potion. However, to retrieve these ingredients, he must extract them from his former allies… the villainous knights of the Order of No Quarter! World class platforming, music, storytelling, and art all return in Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows; an explosive quest with a new play style, new story, new bosses, and more! quote:Features Sounds good.

Would Shantae and the pirate's curse be better to get on 3DS, or Wii U? I have Risky's Revenge on 3DS, so I'm leaning that way to complete the set, but if it's vastly better on Wii U I don't have a problem doing that. Also, that Shovel Knight update is... a lot more than I was expecting. A lot more! I thought it was just going to be "throw Plague Knight, etc. skin in Shovel Knight and play through the game again," not a whole new story mode with new mechanics and all that! Wowzers...

What's the consensus on Mighty Switch Force 1&2. I've never even heard of them until now, and they are going to be $1.50 on 3DS when the sale starts.

Mighty Switch Force is a really great platformer with excellent music. They added free DLC with five bonus levels at some point, which was cool. Once you beat the levels you can try and speed run them to unlock... something. I haven't done it  I haven't played the sequel. EDIT: I was sure I had bought Donkey Kong Country 2 on my Wii back in the day, but the discount isn't showing up on the WiiU eShop. Was anyone else able to get the discounted price, or am I just misremembering about buying it?

God knows how it ever got there in the first place. And it managed to sell a bunch going by its creator. Logic is something that does not exist in this brave new world. At least now people can't say, "hey, memerun is there, let my stickman unity demo get in!"

Nintendo actually even promoted that game on their twitter. I like to imagine Iwata was visiting and saw the trailer for the game on YouTube accidentally, and loving tore the office apart and grew a new bile duct.

If I recall the last week or two had the creator saying he was in the process of changing the meme faces (which are copyrighted) and he already changed the sniper rifle image. I'd guess the hammer was being dropped on him within the past month but he didn't see anything wrong with what he was doing and only tried to change the graphics at the last minute.

I was wondering how it stayed so long on the main menu's "top ten", but then I remembered that's dictated by Miiverse activity and of course the memeboys would congregate there.

Whoever drew that troll-face thing, they immediately had a copyright on it. If I wrote a grocery list that somehow became a meme because it was weird and someone posted it on the internet, I would have a copyright on that grocery list and a claim to all profits made from it. Edit: So basically, anyone who created any meme that was used in that game immediately had a case to file a lawsuit against them because the guy who made the game was profiting off of their work without licensing what they made. Edit2: They also have a case against Nintendo since Nintendo is also profiting off of their work. Fremry fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Mar 3, 2015 |
