Another topic I thought we already had (We can merge the two if one exists in a place beyond my ability to find). Post stuff about the eshop here, like new releases or special deals, etc.
New to the eshop today:
-The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
-Super Metroid
-Donkey Kong Country 2
All @ $7.99
Example post:
Quote from: SlowPokemon on April 08, 2016, 01:26:37 PMAy Virtue's Last Reward is $11.99 for a couple weeks on the 3DS eShop, so if you like plot heavy games or escape the room puzzles, I really recommend downloading it. The sequel, Zero Time Dilemma, is coming out in June, so it's also a good time to play VLR.
everyone in the world needs ace attorney trilogy
I think it's worth noting if it's new 3ds (or even wii u) exclusive or not. I remember that nintendo showed a bunch of snes games (including the ones that olimar mentioned) that will be exclusive to the new 3ds (forgive me if I remembered it incorrectly or they changed their mind or w/e). Just for clarification and stuff in case someone who only has one system gets their hopes up and sees that they can't get it
Obligatory:

Also, what Altissimo said lol
Lol slow did you miss my post up there?
Not at all, but I reposted because I wasn't sure if others would notice the date and realize it was still relevant.
I would normally respond with something along the lines of "that's absurd, how could someone miss something that obvious?" but nowadays it sadly seems necessary .-.
ALttP is already out on Wii U, did it come to 3DS?
Yeah, but SNES games are New 3DS only.
I have a New 3DS, mind making a case for why I should play ALTTP? I've always found it intriguing.
It's the second or third hardest Zelda game but it's also very enjoyable, the music is great, the people are funny, the world is expansive, and the dungeons are a+. I've never beaten it, but I've gotten pretty far in it
It's a great game, but I honestly prefer the GBA port more. A bit cleaner to look at, not as muddy and it has better sound effects for the most part. The music took a big hit though.
I'm mad that ALTTP is only on the new 3ds. I really want to play that game and I can't because no new 3ds.

Well maybe it's time to upgrade, that could get Nintendo to also make NEW games that are exclusive and use its full power!
But in all seriousness, they are N3DS exclusive because they chug on the original models, as shown here:
https://streamable.com/bfdd
I would upgrade if my parents are fine with getting me a new 3DS two years after I got my old one. They probably won't :P.
I bought my 3DS when the N3DS was announced, but it still cost me 170
I upgraded when NN3DS came out and didn't feel guilty because I play my 3DS so much it was worth the money

this and also i got Xenoblade Chronicles 3D which has like 200+ hours so so
Lol I got it too but I only played it for 15 hours before I realized I've grown to hate JRPGs
ayyy
Pokémon Trading Card Game is on sale. I spent hours and hours on this as a kid. Please buy!
I actually saw that yesterday in this video game store I was in. I chose to buy Mario Superstar Baseball.
Is Kick & Fennick worth it? It's on sale, but I have a grand total of 19p on my eShop account and can't afford any more right now.
Quote from: Latios212 on June 18, 2016, 03:41:06 PMPokémon Trading Card Game is on sale. I spent hours and hours on this as a kid. Please buy!
This game is really fun, but it's also really niche. If you're not into learning the rules of a pretty deep card game on a tiny GBC screen, I'd recommend going for Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire on Wii U instead, which is also discounted (hella discounted if you're a My Nintendo member). This is the Pokémon spinoff I played all the time as a kid, actually completed the Pokédex (or at least all except one or two, I can't remember). I picked it up on this sale and I'm pleased to find that it still plays just as well as it did back then, with a rocking soundtrack and really a pretty addictive control scheme, though I recommend switching to controls where left flipper is B and right flipper is A.
Anyway that's my two cents (or 431, actually). Also on sale this week, I picked up the N64 Paper Mario game on Virtual Console. I figure it's about time I give it a try, though I really wish they'd put out the Super Mario RPG on 3DS or Wii U so I can experience its spiritual predecessor first.
Worth noting once again that Virtue's Last Reward is $12.99 as part of this sale, and honestly having just replayed it the last couple weeks, I can safely say it's one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. If anyone's on the fence about experiencing an absolutely brilliant narrative and devilishly tricky puzzles, don't even think twice, especially with the sequel out so soon.
Minish Cap and A Link to the Past are discounted, I'd recommend getting those instead!
But they're only for the New 3DS XL
Wii U
I know this isn't technically eShop, but it deals with paying Nintendo
The 2DS just recently dropped $10 in price, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to get one? As in, what is the purpose of a 2DS?
to play 3DS games for cheap and indestructible

If your reason for not having a 3DS is because they're too expensive, the 2DS is for you.

Only the Wii U version of A Link to the Past is discounted, not the New Nintendo 3DS version, which is the only place I'd want to play it.

I'm still thinking about making a video rant about Virtual Console, but my laptop's screen is still broken and I've been using a Wii U to internet for weeks.

Virtue's Last Reward is, in my totally unbiased opinion, objectively better.
I've never heard of that game. It'd be pretty hard for any game from the same time period or even slightly after to be better than ALttP though.
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on June 19, 2016, 01:15:32 PMIt'd be pretty hard for any game from the same time period or even slightly after to be better than ALttP though.
This. After playing the train-wreck that 999 was, I seriously doubt the sequel could even come close to ALTTP's magnitude of greatness. It's a classic.
How was 999 a train wreck 😂
Lmao like seriously how can you argue 999 is a bad game? It's among the best games I've ever played. Any complaint you might have about it could be applied to another game, Hotel Dusk, that you said you loved.
I've never played em so all I can say is it's really unlikely they'd end up being better than alttp
Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 19, 2016, 03:18:46 PMLmao like seriously how can you argue 999 is a bad game?
I've tried to forget that game because it was a waste of my time, but I remember the final straw was dying because some tiny, preteen little girl clean-sliced my arm of with an ax. Like mid-air. Not chopped off while it was against a surface, the bitch creep-ed up behind me and surprised me by chopping my arm off, mid-bone. Really? After all that set-up, something as ridiculous as that is considered a legitimate ending? Really fucking believable in a game that is supposed to be centered around making choices and the story. No one could have seen that coming because it is silly.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 19, 2016, 03:18:46 PMIt's among the best games I've ever played.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 19, 2016, 03:18:46 PMHotel Dusk, that you said you loved.
HD was fun but tedious af. I would never put that kind of game (not even really a game, more of a visual novel) above classics that have stood the test of time. I was more salty that the sequel did not get a US release.
In another decade no one will remember the 999 saga, whereas A Link to the Past will continued to be regarded as a timeless classic.
I would argue 999 isn't very well known already

1. So what I'm hearing is you didn't play the game all the way through? Lmao you only got one ending (which isn't even really an ending, more of a game over)
2. Clover is 20
3. I've played plenty of Zelda and Metroid games. They don't affect my emotions or make me care about characters, and they're more tedious than fun.
4. I never compared 999 to Zelda or Metroid (or really anything else, just said it was among the best games I've ever played).
5. Hotel Dusk is a timeless classic, and so is 999 😂 but only for the people who know about them.
6. You can't use how well known a game is as a reason it's good or bad. That's just stupid and doesn't follow any kind of logic. 999 was released by a small time developer and a small name localization team, as well as not even really being in many stores due to being an M rated game on the NDS. In addition, all of the other games you've mentioned have Nintendo to market them, not to mention them featuring beloved and well known characters.
7. I truly think the Zero Escape franchise will be remembered as classics, especially in their genres, and I wouldn't be surprised if this new release tops a lot of game of the year lists. Virtue's Last Reward alone does too much that's revolutionary for game narratives for them not to be remembered.
And last but not least...
8. "Not even really a game, more of a visual novel." What a fun statement. It plays on a game console, and there's interactivity, so it's a game. Whether it's a game form you can appreciate is another story.
With such a long list, not once is that absurd moment I mentioned present. Lol.
Number 2
Oh yes thank you for the age clarification. Those extra years are how she pulled off the impossible lmao.
^the fact that she's 20 OBVIOUSLY means she can chop through bone with a single swing of an axe.
It was really sharp, ok?
Hey hey, the PMD games are on the eshop now! If you haven't played them yet, go do it.
oh which ones
Red/Blue Rescue Team, and Explorers of Sky.
oh how much better is sky than time/darkness
like if time/darkness was a 5, and my threshold (zelda games) are 8, and PSMD was a 9, how much is sky
Sky isn't on VC in Europe, but the Rescue Teams have been on there for months. And they be a better fit for 3DS...
They aren't quite available yet, but they will be at 11 AM CST this Thursday.

Nice! Of course, since I have two of them in working condition, the only one I'll be thinking about getting is RRT eventually. GBA games look so nice on Wii U.

I'm really biased to Sky, as it's my favorite, but Sky did add in a nice amount of content from Time/Darkness. There's a whole Shaymin storyline, added stories, dungeons, etc. So you get a good amount of new stuff to do.
sky is better than time/darkness hands down. i personally like it better than PSMD too but that is a personal preference and may be nostalgia talking
also god i wish i had a wii u

In its defense, I have a 2DS and if anyone was gonna be skeptical about it at its release, it was me. I would go one step further than what Slow said:
Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 19, 2016, 11:48:13 AMIf your reason for not having a 3DS is because they're too expensive, the 2DS is for you.
I would say that if the 3D feature is omittable for you, the 2DS is for you. The system is solid (more indestructible as Noc said though not invincible obviously), resolution is often better, it's cheaper, and it may seem like a small thing, but it just fits in your hands so well. I love the triggers especially. 3DS triggers feel so delicate.
Explorers of Sky has a good 15-20 extra hours at least compared to Time and Darkness and it is (in my opinion) probably the best PMD game. The problem is, you've got to get through all of the stuff that's the same as TD before you can really experience the new.
that's fine, cause I don't remember most of it except that I used an action replay to beat dusknoir
I own both Time and Sky, but I've sold and re-brought that latter multiple times. Time and Diamond are pretty much the only games from my childhood I still own my original copies of.
Also, shouldn't this thread be called the eShopic?
no

Word on the street is that Super Mario RPG is or will be on the WiiU eshop.
I'm still waiting for Door to Phantomile to be put on the eShop. You can already get it on the PlayStation Store, and the Wiimake is one of the few Klonoa games that hasn't been digitally re-released, not that there are many.

Nothing interesting was added to the European eShop today, unfortunately. There were a lot of games from last week still marked as "new". We've also had Super Mario Rocket-Propelled Grenade for a few months now.
Graaaaah I'm facing such an irritating decision, I would way rather play Super Mario RPG on my 3DS but it only came to the Wii U eShop. Do I buy it, or wait for it to come to New 3DS Virtual Console?
99% sure the only reason they're putting these great games on WiiU VC only is to help give the system worth. This sucks because the 3DS is the superior system in terms of a library of games.
but now the Wii U has the better library :^)
Lol if anything, they're just holding back the 3DS's potential.
it seems like the 3DS will be a top tier system for a while
I hope they keep making games for it for like 5 more years

N3DS VC games seem to come in packs in Japan, which then come over here a bit later. So far, Japan hasn't gotten any packs with SMRPG in it, so I'd suggest picking up the Wii U VC version now unless you don't mind waiting a few weeks to see if it's in the next pack of SNES VC games.
For reference, the upcoming SNES games for Japan so far are Mega Man X2/X3 and Super Castlevania IV while a bunch of other Konami/Capcom titles are out now, which should come here soon. Hoping for Gradius III myself
Well, you guys are over there discussing SMRPG on VC, and about the console it'll be on, and I'm over here like I have the original cartridge... Heh...
Speaking of which, is there such thing as a SNES RPG that was released in its original form in Europe?
Super Mario RPG: Virtual Console.
Final Fantasy 3/6: PS1, then Virtual Console.
Terranigma: Nope.
Does Secret of Mana count as an RPG? I have it on VC, but I got stuck at that part near the start where a bunch of people in a village keep saying the same thing.
Sorry for double-posting, but my Wii U says that the eShop is closed for maintenance, but it works just fine on my 3DS and several websites have reported updates. Anyone else (in Europe) having this problem?
Also, still no Door to Phantomile? Did Namco say they'd never re-release the Wii version or something?
I'm bummed, Europe 3DS got the Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva movie as a download for sale this week and I'd love to have that one on my 3DS. :( Maybe it'll be available in the coming weeks here.
Why does Europe get everything on the eShop first? Not that I'm complaining...
Also, what do you think of this video I made about Virtual Console (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SehEmxqhiKY)?
Nice video (rather ambiguous link though). I agree with most of your complaints. I personally think Nintendo is withholding GBA and ds from the 3ds eshop to make them WiiU exclusives, given that the wiiu definitely needs all the help it can get.
But surely GameCube games would have the same effect? Anyone here knowledgeable about emulators?
You kidding? Gamecube was the worst-selling Nintendo console until the Wii U. GBA and DS were massive successes with lots and lots of quality titles. Not to say that the Gamecube didn't, but they were clearly not enough to make people buy the Gamecube.
People won't get a GameCube for GameCube games because it didn't sell well? You might want to re-read your post.
And while it's true the GameCube didn't sell well, there's several desirable GameCube titles that are getting really expensive now. And there are plenty of games on VC that didn't sell well upon their original releases.
no, the implication that since people didn't get a gamecube for gamecube games when it was out (resulting in gamecube not selling well), they probably won't see any need to get gamecube games on wii u now
and that even the quality titles weren't enough to help the gamecube sell in its heyday
The GameCube just wasn't that impressive at the time. Remember, it had to compete with the PS2, a console that supported backwards compatibility of an already huge library of games and also played DVDs and CDs ON TOP of playing new PS2 games. It made more sense to spend around the same amount of money on a system that could do all of that.
>20 million may be low by Nintendo standards, but it's not THAT bad.
I also meant putting GameCube games on the eShop... maybe we'll have to wait until the NX?
Incidentally, the Cube was more powerful than the PS2, apparently, but it had less disc space, meaning that Japanese developers favoured the Station more, since the Xbox didn't sell well in Japan. Nintendo realized that power isn't everything, which is why the Wii isn't HD.
I once said on another thread ages ago that the PS2 was more powerful than the GameCube. Oops.
It should also be noted that the whole GCN on VC debate started from a rumor that was started by a lower-position employee at NOA who said they would be available on the Wii U's shop channel, but gave nothing else outside of that. Of course, news sites took that and ran with it as a major news article, which gave lots of people the false assumption that GCN games were confirmed.
That being said, I do hope Codename NX gets GCN Retail downloads, or at the very least have the Wii U/3DS/Codename NX get Turbo-Grafx 16 titles in the US. Those recent ESRB ratings are making me excited for them, darn it
Codename NX is my favourite strategy RPG.
What happened to all the non-Nintendo consoles on VC, anyway? Apparently Sega have stopped supporting Virtual Console, but that doesn't explain why Sonic Advance is on there in Japan. (It was published by THQ elsewhere.) And what about the others? Licencing issues?
Also, someone on the same thread said that the PS2 has a "dual-core processor"... isn't that the Saturn? Or are CPUs and processors two different things?
That answer is simple: Nobody wanted to support the Wii U VC with that extra work. Sega pretty much implied such when I asked Okunari about it two years ago on Twitter, and Konami is the only one who's shown an interest in adding new systems (MSX and PC Engine in Japan)
Wait, Konami owns the rights to those...?
It's been years as the Wii U's Virtual Console still looks a lot more barren than the Wii's. While there's the handheld games for some reason, most of the other formats are just a fraction of the original VC library.
(Sidenote: I don't understand the "GBA and DS games on VC will make the Wii U sell better" argument, because you can get a used DS phat or Lite for a lot cheaper.)
Quote from: Nitro Indigo on July 10, 2016, 10:45:47 AMI don't understand the "GBA and DS games on VC will make the Wii U sell better" argument, because you can get a used DS phat or Lite for a lot cheaper.
Think about it: the 3DS eshop and the console itself is far more successful than the WiiU. Just from a VC standpoint, who wouldn't want to have all of their favorite classics at their disposal whenever AND WHEREVER they wanted? With NES, SNES, GB, and GBC games (just speaking Nintendo rn) available, it's pretty obvious that the next great move would be GBA and maybe DS games for handhelds (ignore the ambassador program, as it was just a promotion) and N64 for home consoles. While you CAN "just go get a DS" to play these games, you can also "just go get" a gameboy for GB and GBC games, etc. We aren't just paying for the game when we buy VC games, we're paying to NOT have to hunt for the original system, cart, controllers, etc.: we're paying for the convenience. So, when Nintendo puts what would seem like a natural "next move" for the 3DS VC on the WiiU, it isn't that hard to imagine that they would like to share some of the 3DS' success with their lesser console, even if it means lessening the convenience factor we get with portables.
to add to this: the "why dont u just go get a ds" argument falls apart a bit when you consider that's the entire reason people do emulator machines. to not have 6000 systems they have to interchange and charge and keep in good condition
Good point. Maybe I'm overthinking this... I don't really know how Nintendo works.
I'm kind of feeling ashamed now...
On an unrelated note, what happened to using VC to export games? Where's my Dream Champ Tournament?
Here's how nintendo works: they want money. They get money for releasing games. They dont get any money when used games are resold. They do get money when people re-buy old games on modern consoles.
Yes people could just buy gba or ds titles in cart form for an original gba or ds. However neither of these actions make nintendo any money, because gba and ds titles arent (usually) sold nowadays by any nintendo-affiliated vendors. Gba or ds titles released on vc will make nintendo money, because they are being published and distributed by nintendo themselves.
Technically yes but i wouldnt be surprised if some people didnt realize they didnt get money from used merchandise, i didnt think about that until comparatively recently so

That argument really doesn't work simply because it isn't true. Heck, VC games don't make a dent in system sales and only really exist to give current owners something to play. The sole reason GBA titles are on Wii U VC instead of 3DS VC is because of compatibility issues with making them run under the fancy dancy VC menu that Nintendo wants all VC systems to use in some way, plain and simple. DS retail downloads only can happen via DSiWare depending on the size of the game, which means that My Nintendo is pretty much the one-stop shop for potential DS downloads for the 3DS.
In all honesty, the VC doesn't need to exist at all as it's no longer used to encourage folks to buy systems. (on the Wii, the VC started off solely as a way to convince folks to connect to the internet before Wiiware burst in and pretty much wrecked the Wii's Virtual Console) Still, it's a great bonus service, and the only thing I wish we would get would be the following:
Turbografx 16 games on a Western VC (Wii U or 3DS, I'll take either)
MSX titles on Western Wii U VC
Sega Master System Games on the Wii U VC and more than the Wii VC, if Sega changes their minds
More Game Gear titles on 3DS VC (They cancelled them because of poor sales from what they said in an interview for the 3D classics)
Crossbuy/discount for owning a NES/SNES title on Wii U and 3DS
I've heard that the data limit for WiiWare is 20MB; what's the limit for DSiWare? DS games can be 8-512MB big.
Also, even if Nintendo can't get the menu for GBA games, that doesn't explain the Game Boy Micro resolution.
I think I heard somewhere that the DSiWare limit was around 12MB or so? Can't remember as its been so long. As for the GBA 3DS titles supporting the original resolution, that's likely because it just uses the same method behind the DS backwards compatibility to shrink the screen.
Speaking of the Virtual Console, not long after I mentioned the ESRB rated games by Konami, they are already out on the Wii U! I Made a video showing off one of the titles, which you can watch below to see it in action.
In Japan, TG16 games were on the 3DS VC for a bit before the service got discontinued over there before the surge of SNES titles this year. Only three titles were released, China Warrior, R-Type and Alien Crush, and out of the three R-Type is the only one in NA to get a modern VC release today.
Wait... American VC games have that console's startup sound on the load screen? DAMMIT!
But DS games played on 3DS are fill up the screens minus the letterboxing... anyone a tech expert?
To be honest, my recent frustrations come from me getting Empire of Dreams on VC, then having to spend the night somewhere else. The game gets very tedious when played in long sessions, and it's designed to be picked up and played wherever.
Also, has everyone basically given up on the downloadable Wii games now? There hasn't been one for months. (And I have to wait at least a week for Klonoa '08 to arrive from the rental service...)
^if you hold down Start or Select while you open a DS game on 3DS, it will display at original resolution.
Even when you don't hold down Start and Select, the GBA games are still letterboxed despite being in widescreen.
(Wait... are the DS' screens 4:3?)
I also got Super Mario Land 2 the other day. Is it just me, or are Mario's jumps a lot "heavier" in this game?
There's nothing else I really want on the eShop atm, and I have a weird desire to buy EarthBound on my 3ds virtual console so I can play it on the go.
...but I have EB on the Wii U already. I have a problem.
They should've made it so that if you get a game that's on both the 3DS and Wii U, you can transfer the data between the two systems if they share an NNID. Do Sony do something like this?
Yeah, that'd be nice, and I wouldn't have to buy it again...
Yeah, PlayStation does crossbuy for every game that's available on multiple systems. Wish Nintendo would.
I have EarthBound on both systems lol. But that's mostly because I know I'll never be able to finish it unless it's on a handheld.
Well, I already finished it on Wii U. But I know I'll want to replay it, but having it on the go would be much more convenient.
Well, I once saw a theory that the NX will be called the Nintendo Crossplay.
Speaking of Sony and their crossplay, one PSone Classic (I'd rather call them PS1 Classics, but I digress) is Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. There is a Wiimake of that game, which for some reason is one of the few, if not the only, Klonoa game not available for legal download anywhere in the world on any console. The GBA Klonoa games were added to Wii U Virtual Console two years ago.
Why isn't Klonoa '08 on the eShop? Is it because everyone just abandoned downloadable Wii games, as I theorised earlier? Are Namco ashamed of it because it killed the franchise? Did they just forget about it?
Speaking of poor-selling GBA games from franchises that originated on PS1, I kind of want to see the Spyro GBA trilogy on the eShop, but Activision. (Season of Ice was the first Spyro game - and physical GBA cartridge - I ever played, but it was someone else's copy and I didn't know what I was supposed to do.)
nobody's ever heard of klonoa

Actually, all Wii U VC games use the same generic bootup sound. TG16 titles are the ONLY VC system to have a different sound and that's the Konami Jingle (since Konami owns the system now). The MSX (Japan only) doesn't even get that honor, instead having the default Wii U startup sound because D4 Enterprise was lazy. :P

The simple answer is because Namco doesn't care for adding games to the Wii Retail Download service (Wii games are not virtual console titles). They don't even have the Namco Museum games for the Wii on the eShop. Klonoa Wii isn't the only Klonoa game to not get re-released BTW. Moonlight Museum, Klonoa 2, Klonoa Heroes and Klonoa Volleyball have never been rereleased on a digital store anywhere in the world.
Namcollection was a PS2 game...?
Also, forgot about those. It was late when I posted that.
Anyone else here about Nintendo "secretly" releasing Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins along with Star Fox Guard the Training Mode of Star Fox Zero? Weird that they're putting out this late and trying to salvage the game or something.
Personally, it was great to finally be able to play (at least a small part of) Star Fox Zero for the first time at my friend's house (as he has a Wii U and I don't). Honestly, I still don't know what to think about the motion controls, as sometimes they worked and other times I was just glueing myself too much to either the TV or the Wii U. But, I'm still not paying for a Wii U just to buy SFZ, waiting for Star Fox NX instead (I can dream...)
6 games that make the wii U worth it:
Super Mario Maker
Splatoon
Wind Waker HD
Mario Kart 8
Star Fox 0 (in your case anyway)
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
^also, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It's my personal favorite game on Wii U.

Is it bad that the only high-profile Wii U games I've played are TWWHD, Sm4sh, and Splatoon, and I sold the Sm4sh the other week?
I've also heard that Pokkén and Wooly World are pretty good.
I once saw someone on Zelda Universe complain that there wasn't an EarthBound game or main Pokémon game on Wii U. What...?
I'm disappointed that Klonoa '08 will never be put on the eShop, because used copies are really rare and I don't know when the copy I rented will arrive. The rental site thinks the game came out less than six months ago, for some reason.
For that matter, there's not much third-party support on Virtual Console; there's a few things like Game Gear and TurboGrafx-16, and Namco's GBA games, but not much else that I'm aware of.
You could just emulate it.
1) My laptop is broken right now.
2) I don't like using emulators.

Lmao it was developed as a puzzle platformer in which you have no weapons and can't jump. Puzzling your way past the bosses instead of having to jump on them or attack them is literally the point of the game. Also yeah, it's not hard to reach the initial credits, but you realize that there are three different sets of levels right? I found the game really awesome and challenging.
SlowPokemon, what do you think of the Captain Toad stages in 3D World?

Not quite sure if this is needed, but oh well, it's just an extra click.
the first is Toad, the second is Toadette, the third going back to Toad, and then a few secret unlockable stages if you 100% the gem collection?
^yeah, that's basically what I meant haha. Adds up to 60 levels in the main game plus a bunch of post game ones. All of them are super cool and unique too. At least in my opinion.

SHIT
Well, for those in Japan, Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia & Guardian Signs have been released here recently. I LOVED playing Guardian Signs, but I have a tangible copy, so when it comes to US I won't get it.
When I was younger, I thought Shadows of Almia was the worst game I ever played, but I'm now starting to appreciate it because of LuckySevenDX's LP of it a couple of years ago that I recently started rewatching.
Shadows of Almia was my favorite Ranger game because I actually 100% completed all of it, the quests and browser and everything. I had a good time with it.
I was always more of a Mystery Dungeon person myself, but my dislike of Shadows of Almia stems from me being terrible at video games back then. It was in about 2008, or so.
I have actually never played Shadows of Almia. I have the original and Guardian Signs, though
Before it came out, I thought Guardian Signs was a Gen 5 game.
Speaking of which, is there any reason why it's the last Ranger game? Did they always plan for it to be a trilogy? From what I know, the sales and reception were similar to the first two...
In one episode of Pokémon Advanced (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/AG152), they changed the Japanese opening to show the boxarts of PMD1. With Ranger assumed dead, PMD taking place in an alternate universe, and most of the spinoffs nowadays being freeniums, they don't really promote spinoffs in the anime any more. =/

I honestly can't believe that I've never noticed the MD reference in the intro. I don't know why they didn't add it into the english into (then again, our XY dub STILL has serena's old design in the title card despite it being nearly 50 episodes old by now)
I sometimes like to entertain the idea of a Pokémon 3D platformer spinoff with a similar tone to Spyro, even though I know barely anything about the classic series. Speaking of which, it's a shame Activision doesn't support Virtual Console, because I'd like to see the Spyro GBA trilogy on there. (Season of Ice was the first Spyro game I ever played, but only for a few minutes.)
Kirby's Epic Yarn and Mass Attack come to the VC tomorrow. I can't speak for Mass Attack, but KEY is adorable and lots of cute fun so I highly recommend it if you've never tried it.
Mass Attack is very much not a standard Kirby game. It also relies heavily on the touch screen gimmick, though in a not-so-gimmicky-feeling way. It's pretty cutesy, but don't be fooled: it's one of the hardest Kirby games to 100% complete and even some of the regular levels can be more challenging than you'd expect. It has a shitton of minigames (most of which have a lot of content!) and a good many gimmicky levels, so there's a lot of variety in there. It's an extremely solid game, in my opinion. Just... don't expect Kirby-style gameplay out of it.
Epic Yarn though is a must-have for everyone in the world
Yes, I agree. Epic Yarn is a must-have.
I'm gonna be in the minority again and state my honest opinion that KEY is NOT worth it for Kirby fans unless you really like to go at a slower pace compared to other Kirby games. I still have vivid memories of getting it for Christmas 2010 and being attracted by the cute artstyle, only to be incredibly disappointing due to how offensively easy it was. I typically play Kirby games as a means to relax or to take my time and complete each game, sometimes going for 100% to get the most out of the series, but KEY was just so upsetting to me solely because you couldn't die, making any effort pointless unless you want a fancy dancy medal. I didn't tend to care for the level designs too much either. (Save for the final world, which was a neat throwback IMO)
Once I beat the game and had zero fun whatsoever (even in co-op) I never wanted to touch the game ever again, and I'm incredibly happy that when Yoshi's Woolly World came out they fixed the major gripes I had with KEY by making it more of a challenging and relaxing game all at the same time while also making it into a Yoshi game that was actually the first good one since SMA3. Still, Kirby's Epic Yarn is my least favorite Kirby Game of all time mainly because of how dull it ended up being compared to Super Star Ultra (the most recent Kirby game I played before KEY) or even the VC titles that were available.
That being said, Kirby's Dream Course is another Kirby title I dislike for ironically the opposite reason, which is because it's way too cheap and unfair to play unless you play the local multiplayer. (which is a blast and IMO the only thing that saves the game from being one I hate. Sadly 3DS VC doesn't support proper multiplayer.) Honestly I'm kinda sad the 3DS got the short end of the stick when it comes to Kirby games, only really having Kirby's Dream Land, 3D Classics Adventure and Star Stacker as their "Good" Kirby titles. Hopefully DL3 and Super Star come to remedy that a bit (And Avalanche if Sega allows it).
I will say though that Mass Attack, along with Canvas Curse are two of the four major Kirby titles I've never played before, so I'll probably grab MA once I clear my backlog a bit (unless Canvas Curse comes out before I do so) Disappointing Kirby Week for me considering we only got one VC game for both systems and a Retail Download of a poor game, but I'll just place faith that Mass Attack is better than the other two titles and makes up for it for when I eventually purchase the game.

THANK YOU
Also, I totally agree: Dream Course is an amazing multiplayer experience, but that is all it really has to offer, making it's 3DS VC port a waste. : /
I also don't love Epic Yarn. Lovely wonderful art style, boring to play. Even for a collector like me who enjoys relaxing games.
I've never played it, but I like easy games
Mass attack is pretty great, I agree! The touch interface worked very well and I enjoyed it more than I expected. Level design is fun and yeah, the minigames add lots of content. I spent hours on that pinball game...
I should just take a shot every time someone bitches at how easy Epic Yarn is. I'd die of alcohol poisoning, but whatever.

Well, it
IS the crippling aspect of it.... What do you expect?
I don't mind it, though. I guess I just take it to heart because Epic Yarn's my go-to game if I'm having really bad anxiety or stress. It does a great job at calming me down and uplifting my mood, so seeing people tear at it hurts.
it's a kirby game
the ENTIRE SERIES is based around the idea of easier, more accessible platformers for kids
i don't think nebbles is saying, and certainly i'm not saying, that it isn't easy, but rather that, if that's what you choose to complain about, you are missing the entire point of the franchise. you might as well be complaining that there's not enough story in super smash brothers like seriously
and yes, i am very much aware that epic yarn is easier than other kirby games (though that is a classification i would debate to high hell, 100% is very much not easy), but i really don't think that is a valid cause for concern. that's kind of the point of this specific game?
if you complain about it having the kirby moniker - as in, such an easy game shouldn't be called kirby - then i can understand that, not agree with but understand, but complaining that an intentionally-easy game is easy is pretty stupid imo
and just to clarify, i'm not saying disliking easy games is stupid. you can dislike easy games all you want. you can dislike hard games all you want. whatever. i'm saying complaining about an obviously easy game being easy when that is not to your taste, is dumb. there's a marked difference between saying "this game is too easy, i'm not a fan of easy games like this" and saying "this game is too easy, that's dumb, it's a bad game for being so easy" and the latter is what the comments here seem to be like

Easy is fine, I just personally found it boring, which is not fine. I'm not "bitching," it's a lovely atmosphere and sound and aesthetic, but playing it doesn't do much for me personally. I respect your love for it though (also critics love the hell out of it if it makes you feel any better).

It's also important to note that the game wasn't originally pitched as a Kirby game, and Prince Fluff was the original lead. There's a good reason why it doesn't feel like a Kirby game at heart. Still a good time, though.

yeah, that's why i made a point to note "complaining about having the kirby moniker", because its origin story is the entire reason it is easier than most of the franchise.
If being easy makes the game boring to play, then it's not a fun game for me, period. If the entire game was as well designed as the final world I would have liked it a bit more, but the whole rest of the game is just a boring chore for me IMO and I think that's what hurts the game the most. It's the same problem I have with Dream Land 2 (Along with the inability to run for some stupid reason)
ok but does it hurt the game that you think the rest of it is a boring chore or does it hurt your perception of/experience with the game because there is an important distinction
I think the game was too focused on the visual assets and gimmicks that the gameplay often seemed neglected, as if at times you were doing things "just because of yarn and fabric: yay!" I also think the difficulty hurt the game because at that point the enjoyment was essentially coming from collecting the beads and getting high-scores, but lol no one has cared about high scores since the Atari 2600. In this sense, I would also use the word "chore" to describe how that game felt. There was just no point: at least in mario games when the story is "save X from Y," the gameplay is there to create the real experience (the platforming). KEY felt like a mario plot but with no pits to fall down, koopas to stop you, or time limit : /
The whole experience was so meh to me. I think when the story doesn't succeed to draw you in its then up to the actual gameplay to finish the job, when evaluating the success of a game. Unfortunately, the gameplay was mediocre at best and the level design was boring as shit, like I said above being too wrapped up in the fabric/yarn gimmick.
wait, kirby games are supposed to be hard?
Believe it or not, you could get a game over in Kirby's Dream Land.
literally the only kirby game I've played was SSU and that was like 5 years ago, I don't remember how difficult it was
well and Kirby's Air Ride but that game doesn't seem to be the type where a challenge can exist

well i dont know what your definition of hard is since i know you like easy games but kirby games are intended to be easy by platform standards.
that being said, many of them have extra options that make the game a lot harder. so it depends on how you play
I realised this morning that the font they use for the new Pokémon icons on the 3DS eShop is the GBA font. Nice detail!
That odd feeling when you've been refreshing Nintendo's eShop website for the entire evening and the game you hoped would be from the Turbografx 16 is instead Wave Race 64 (https://seafoamgaming.com/2016/08/10/wave-race-64-coming-to-wii-u-virtual-console-in-north-america-tomorrow).
I honestly don't know how good this game is. I hear it's better than the GCN one, but pretty foggy and dull? Should I spend the $10? I was hoping they would put the GB version on the 3DS VC before they discontinued everything that wasn't a SNES game, but they never got around to it.
(And in case folks are wondering, I posted a link to my article on it solely because I took a screenshot of the description in the odd case NOA pulls the hub page link before tomorrow, and also because I was the first one on the internet to even notice it. I guess this game is just a dust collector compared to other N64 games)

Yes, it's still working. The Internet channel and Wii Shop Channel still work. Other channels such as the Check Mii Out channel don't

Super Mario 64 (Virtual Console)
Year Walk
3DS
Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale
BOXBOY!

I picked up Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX and I'm loving it. Strongly recommend it to anyone who likes rhythm games. Even if Project Mirai DX seems overly simplistic for a rhythm game, it's one of the most satisfying ones I have every played.
Sweet, I've been wanting to pick up Freedom Planet and Severed.
