My Nintendo Thread: Mii Nintendo, U Nintendo, Wii Nintendo

Any chance any rewards get added/changed this month? I've got 600 Platinum coins expiring on the 31st and I want none of this shit, lmao.

How's Zero Time Dilemma on 3DS compared to the Vita version ? I have Virtue's Last Reward on Vita so I thought I'd get ZTD on there as well, but I've got like 150 gold coins expiring this month so maybe I'll get that with 20% off.
Nothing else that could potentially interest me really.

Graphics got quite a downgrade along with resolution, slightly longer loading times, & from what I've heard, a few times where the framerate will dip. If you wanna see a few comparison shots of 3DS vs. Vita, you can see them here.

If it matters, the game is also hitting PS4 later this year (August in Japan), which I would imagine would be the "best" version, but with these sort of VN style games, I'd rather go portable.

The Vita version obviously looks much better. You're better of using your coins to buy the Pikmin Short Movies for me ;D

Ugh, thanks, I guess I'll wait to buy it on Vita if it's the better version then. And yeah, I don't have a PS4, I think it's on PC too though, but I'd rather have it on a handheld.
I guess I'll take all the Pikmin stuff since I'm not expecting new deals.

Anyone else get a survey today? Simple survey just asked what characters, series, genres, and whether or not you own or are interested in Nintendo Switch.

Yes, Metroid and Samus were on the list along with Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Pikmin, and Pokemon.

I might actually jump on the mission packs. I was thinking about redownloading my digital copy of Pikmin the other day and wanted this DLC because I liked these modes.

I never bought any of the Pikmin 3 DLC, maybe I'll just splurge my gold coins on them now

oooh it's the FULL Prima guide this time, not just the stupid first chapter or whatever. That's somewhat nice.

Oooooh, I might bite on some of these. I'll have to fire up P3 and figure out which DLC packs I have or don't have. I can't remember if I bought them all.

The guide will be handy, too.

Guess I'll get the Pikmin 3DS theme. Not like my 188 gold coins have any other use at the moment.

Now where's that Kirby 3DS theme?

Is Pikmin 3 still full-price on the Wii U eShop? I'd like to give it a go. I still have my Wii U, never have played a Pikmin game, and hear such wonderful things. Don't want to pay $50-60 though.

Pikmin 3 is part of the Nintendo Selects program and is thus $19.99.

Shiiiyyyeettt y'all. How much am I going to love this game? I'm pumped!

So 15% off $19.99 is.....$3.

....I guess for platinum coins, that's not bad, but not a huge discount....

It's only 300 plat, you can dig that out of your belly button.

EDIT: So the 3 pikmin DLC items constitute all the DLC for pikmin 3? I'm pretty sure I already got the battle enemies one a while ago.

I played and enjoyed the Nintendo Land version. I assume the game is more like that.

Just allow me to say I love the Nintendoland Pikmin game but I have bought, played, and disliked all three of the Pikmin games. Way too much micromanagement for me, but if you're into RTSs and the like you'll likely enjoy them.

That was my thinking too... I will think about it. Thanks for you input!

Huh, well I guess I'll grab the DLC, though what I played of Pikmin 3 thus far I'm not entirely sold on the game or series. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but it may not be for me :p

But, I think my SO likes the series so there we go.
