Just guessing, but it might be a case of latency. Wireless latency can be unpredictable and must be accounted for in netcode. I bet the link cables expected perfect synchronization—when they didn't get it, the link code threw up its hands and died.

There's also the fact that while the link cable was a direct 1 to 1 connection, with wireless you could have like 10 people all trying to do link cable multiplayer at the same time and Nintendo would have to do some additional work to get a way for you to choose which person to connect to and have the game recognise that.
Now that doesn't sound like it would be all that hard to do, but you know how much Nintendo likes modifying their roms.

NoA tweeted that Colors 3D is their last Game of the Weekend. So I guess it does stop?

I support the Wario in this thread.

It was too cool to be something out of NoA, we should had seen it coming.

Last? Nooooo

Tunavi · Jul 26, 2012

I will relive today by reading the last few pages over and over during the drought to come.

RIP Eshop.

shauntu · Jul 26, 2012

I believe all of August has Mario themed games on sale each week instead... but I hope they resume the Game of the Weekend sales after that...

waaaaat

And I thought NoA was actually starting to do a really great job with the eShop

Oh well, at least it ends with a game I'll actually be able to buy. $4 for Colors is a fantastic price for me. Will get it tomorrow

Wii VC games for Japan in August:

-Blazing Star (NG)
-The Last Blade 2 (NG)
-Shanghai (VCA)

Kokonoe · Jul 26, 2012

Glad to see Colors will be on sale, I can't say I'd buy it for full price.

Its like thats really what they do over at NoA, I just don't understand it at all.

Bummer, missed out on MSF and I'm not getting this.

Sigh.

There's always next summer I guess..

zroid · Jul 26, 2012

Maybe if we're lucky we'll continue to have themed months. Eh.

Man God · Jul 26, 2012

Next month is Wario Month.

Drago · Jul 26, 2012

If they do themed monts of sales, like "Month of Mario," "Month of Puzzles," "Month of Kirby," etc. then I would be ok with that, I guess...

I would probably prefer random games though.

I won't believe it. I refuse to believe that NOA is this stupid. I outright refuse it!

*cries*

its a mistake. You'll see. YOU ALL WILL SEE!

...

...

Anywayz: Been playing Wario Land and its pretty good so far. About as good as I remember. Its getting a little easier now that I have gotten reused to the controls.

Now we need the "What are you playing?" thread for this week to have Wario in the title.

Edit: Damnit! Why can't I go one post without misspelling anything? Why do I never proof read until after I post it? *sigh*

Also, I have decided to get NSMB2 digital, only because I will likely buy a retail game later for mutiplayer. So bring on the digital!

watershed · Jul 27, 2012

Maybe they're shutting it down because there are no more good games to support with the discount. I think they'll bring it back once more high quality 3dsware drops.

Select games will be priced higher than usual.

There's loads of VC, 3DSWare, and DSiWare that could be discounted. There's no real reason to end it.

Month of ______ may be it's replacement, unless NoA really is done with sales after Month of Mario.

Loads of software on the eShop they could discount, and every week just adds more to the mix. If they ended up with repeats for good games like Mighty Switch Force in a few months, I don't think people would mind either.

How about the Japanese / PAL region; Are sales still on for the long haul?

ActStriker · Jul 27, 2012

Well they're already recycling deals with Month of Mario.

Drago · Jul 27, 2012

EvilMario said:

All they had was the two week sale with 10 games total discounted. If NA ends sales after August, I would say JP/EU got the better deal in the sales department.

What's Mole Mania?

It's the game Miyamoto and the DK94 team made after DK94.

anyone bite on planet crashers? Last I saw it had a single one star rating on the eshop.

NWR Review is the only one I've seen so far.

7.5

+Colorful, vibrant world to explore
+Fun dungeon crawling gameplay
+Nice graphics

-Extremely slow paced
-Repetitive quest system

This made me smile.

PixyJunket · Jul 27, 2012

Expensive week for me, maybe.

Two pieces of Final Fantasy IIII DLC for Theatrhythm, Wario Land, Mole Mania and Dot Eater Complete.

Probably around the Wii U launch.

Ouch, I usually catch my typos (but I was eating dinner at the time, so).

I was referring to Final Fantasy III, not IV, for the record (although I'm buying IV's DLC too).

Their own section in the eShop of their favorite games.

wheee

Odrion · Jul 27, 2012

I gotta say, that's the best gaming related OP ever.

Hours Left · Jul 27, 2012

July has been freaking epic for the eShop, I really hope NoA doesn't go back to their old ways.

metsallica · Jul 27, 2012

Is it me or is Planet Crashers really unforgiving out of the gate? I've died 5 times in the first dungeon, winding up with no gold or items almost each time. Did I miss a weapon or easy level-up opportunity somewhere? Not a whole lot of help in the manual nor any sort of in-game tutorial...

Stumpokapow · Jul 27, 2012

Just bought my first DLC for Theatrhythm on a McDonalds wifi (man, life without an Internet connection is desperate). DLC is not taxed for some reason?

DLC is taxed for me.

GWX · Jul 27, 2012

So... still no Theatrhythm demo for the Americas? It's hard to believe that Europe has one, Japan has multiple ones, and we have NOTHING =(

(I'm buying the game as soon as I can, but I want to make the wait easier by playing a demo :s)

jgkspsx · Jul 27, 2012

Got WL and Mole Mania. Never played either of them, love 'em both so far. I don't think Mole Mania is in the same tier as DK'94, but I'll give it time.

Dot Runner Complete is the 3DS sequel to Picdun. PICDUN! It is so bought once I get another points card.
