Super EDF? Sweet, SNES VC lives and it's about time VC got another shmup, and it's one so haven't played. I just wish I could upgrade my copy of Gradius III.
Edit: Blocky Bot is out now and it's only 1.99?? Sweet, I really enjoyed Paper Monsters Recut, Mobot Studios seems pretty ace so far.

Work-around for the time being:

I believe Natsume. I don't doubt if they could release Lufia II and the SNES Pocky & Rocky games that they would. Natsume's probably the most fan oriented major publisher on Nintendo systems, they're well aware of the demand for those games.
ESRB doesn't tend to release ratings early so I wouldn't take this a sign of anything. Metal Marines (and Pac-Attack) was sort of a fluke. It's also possible those games were going to release last summer when the ratings came out but were pushed down the queue for some unknown reason.
Hamster bought Jaleco's properties a couple years back, all Jaleco's games on 3DS & Wii U VC are published by them (City Connection, Bases Loaded, Maru's Mission, Fortified Zone, Avenging Spirit, Brawl Bros, etc).
Dividing them by type these are my favorites on Wii U VC.

Anything to care about here?
Anything to care about here?
Since I was basically done with 1001 Spikes anyway, I decided to download the patch to see how exactly they messed up the controls.
Turns out that what's going on is that pressing right now registers as Down+Right, meaning you always crouch.
Nicalis!
With as much fan demand as there is for Lufia 2, I can see them probably figuring that the GBA/DS Harvest Moons probably have more demand to them.

Yeah, though, going back, Natsume had already said themselves that they were wanting to focus on newer stuff too, which makes it sound less like Nintendo is refusing to allow new SNES games and more that they are just encouraging developers to focus on newer stuff and Natsume is just happily obliging.sörine;164708604 said:

Maybe pressing up left registers as left?
Nope! Left works like normal, but right defaults to down+right. Right+Up works like normal, though.
Also seems like the cutscene skip command is broken.

Any comment also on Cube Life (minecraft clone) and Q.U.B.E - DIRECTOR'S CUT, which looks like it's finally releasing this summer?
Honestly looking at the trailers, Cube Life doesn't look half bad (probably the better of the minecraft clones from what I can see).

Ah for some reason I thought more of the dpad controls were broken. My mistake.
So it added off-tv play but broke everything else. neat.

Are you kidding me? They get Epic Kirby and we haven't gotten any more Wii titles? So upsetting.
Not to dredge up past discussions, but how bad exactly is Paper Mario being the EU version/50Hz rather than the US version/60Hz?
I know the music's been corrected to be the same speed, but how is the gameplay like having to time pressing A during an attack to do more damage etc.? I've heard that ALttP has sped up music and Super Metroid has difficulty in timing jumps, but Donkey Kong 64 seems to be OK, so I was just wondering what the extent of the 'damage' is.

The entire game runs about 20% slower (aside from the music), but it doesn't exhibit the same weird frame-skipping that the SNES games do. Timing should be fine.
Srsly. I thought the Wii titles did well on the eShop in NA? I really want the Kirby games so I can get rid of my physical copies.

Oh, so maybe this is Nicalis' version of Nintendo's "a good idea fixes multiple problems" thing.
Think of it as "a good fix breaks multiple solutions"
TheMoon

Yup, Balloon Fight is a hilariously broken mess. No excuses for that.
@RiggyRob:
Everything else is fine. music wise, you will not find a 50Hz game anywhere from the SNES times that has any problems in that regard (unless maybe some crappy third party game or something). The only real reason we're still hung up on the 50Hz thing right now is that Wii U can't really properly output 50Hz anymore unlike the Wii and this causes noticeable problems for some people while others either don't notice anything or don't care (I'm leaning towards the latter camp).

Blocky Bot is great. Really addictive and charming with nice, upbeat music. You can tell they're sort of aping on the same style Bit Trip Runner 2 did, with it's goofy fake advertisements, bizarre characters and risk reward system.
I like it. $2 is a steal.
Should also mention that Swords and Soldiers 2 is great too. Much higher production values than the first and the mechanics have been refined to be much easier to get in to. Stop being cheap and support good exclusive content.

Crunching Koalas announced that they will bring MouseCraft to the Wii U( 2015 Q3) in one of their latest tweets.

It's a puzzle game where you have to get 3 blind mice to the goal cheese of the level, you can even make your own levels. Looks worth keeping an eye on.

...Really? Wow. I just started 1,001 spikes after buying it on sale awhile ago so I should not update.
Really it was the 3DS version so I should be safe.
But seriously. I know theres this whole thing about not saying devs are lazy but what lazy developers.
What an awful name. Was Mouse of Duty taken?
Has anyone bought Kirby Epic Yarn on Wii U?
I just looked at the eshop page for it and under the accessories section it says:
Whereas other Wii games on Wii U (such as Kirby's Adventure Wii) say:

And don't mention the Gamepad at all, so I was wondering whether they actually made it so you could play Epic Yarn with the Gamepad as a controller or if that's just a mistake on the eshop.

If the original game supported the classic controller, then if you buy it from the eShop, you can play it with the Gamepad.
That's not what Natsume stated though, they said it was Nintendo who was done with licensing additional SNES (and presumably NES) titles and were now focusing on N64/GBA/DS. Which isn't at all hard to believe given how VC works.
I also doubt Natsume believes there's more demand for Pocky & Rocky GBA than the SNES titles. Or Lufia GBC than Lufia II. It's not like it's Harvest Moon versus these options, they're about to flood us with Medabots shovelware and probably oddities like Car Battler Joe or CIMA The Enemy. They just missed the window, they'll probably deliver next time on NX VC.
The original game only supported the Wii remote just like Kirby's Adventure Wii did, which is why I'm wondering whether if it's just a mistake on the eshop or if they actually did some extra work with Epic Yarn to let you use the gamepad instead of a Wii remote.

I have no idea, then. Someone from Europe would have to try it out.
The specific quote was that Nintendo's interests were on other systems. While it could mean that they are done with NES and SNES, it doesn't explicitly say that they are.sörine;164750721 said:
That said, I'm not expecting the Lufia 2/P&R situation to change any time soon. Definitely not until after we see a bunch of GBA and DS games from Natsume drop.
Which could give us the amusing situation of us getting the other Lufia 2 before we get the one people want.

I assume you're talking about Cube Life? Yeh I was actually somewhat impressed at that since it actually feels mostly like Minecraft.
Should be 12am ET/9pm PT
Aria of Sorrow is the best GBA metroidvania by far and one of the best games of the series. Super Castlevania is really good as classicvanias go, but I would recommend AoS if you want more bang for your buck.

Ok, I was confused because the game download was saying it was available after an update, but the update said its still not authorized.
I'm torn about best GBA castlevania. I've played through Circle of the moon more and enjoy the cards and music, but I feel that aria has the better combat and story.
Yep. As someone who spent hundred of hours in the PS4 Minecraft, Cube Life does look like it will be a suitable substitute for Minecraft feed. Even UCraft is starting to look pretty decent (but I am iffy on the game cause the dev is...).
I can't believe Stone Shire is charging near $8 for a game that is empty..
Thanks for the input. I agree. I looked at the CA eShop page on Nintendo.com, and saw some odd increases. Some were the same and some were just slightly higher, which I think is mostly fair. But several were way different. That's just bad looking.
Since it looks like the exchange rate is improving, I'd prob keep the prices equal. Think I might adjust sales slightly different to help account for the exchange rate, like $0.1 difference, from time to time depending on how the market is.
