I just want an Ace Combat demo.

Same here. I've heard it's good, but I've never played one of those games other than the atrocious demo for Assault Horizons.

If we get any tomorrow, I bet we get Cooking Mama 4, Sonic Generations, Mario Kart, 3D Land, and DOA. Why? Because those are the games I remember seeing in the Best Buy demo kiosk.

It would be nice if the OP included the QR codes from now on.

Actually, where do we get the eShop QR codes? Assuming that's what you're talking about.

Zen Pinball seems to be selling pretty well all things considering.
Leaderboards are packed (and neat, you can check global scores, per table, friends scores and regional per your own Country scores). I'm not fond of Zen Studios' engine on xbla/psn/iOS but I have to admit I'm really enjoying it on 3DS. Looks lovely, impressive 3D and 4 tables for €5 is a really good deal, in line with the iOS prices.

Bummer that it doesn't support upside down gameplay (so to have the scores/matrix LCD on top, Pinball Hall of Fame 3DS does it).

You guys should try it.

Should I get Wily's Revenge, Gargoyle's Quest and or/ Balloon Kid?

What do you guys say?

Gargoyle's Quest is the best of those three, but yeah, the other two are fun games too worth a play eventually.

Mega Man in Dr. Wily's Revenge does have some issues compared to the later GB Mega Man games -- it's got lots of flicker, fewer levels, etc -- but it makes up for it with solid gameplay and a pretty high challenge level. It is worth playing for sure, but do know that the series gets considerably better starting with the third game -- the second one is pretty poor, and one of the easiest and worst sounding Mega Man games ever, while the fourth and fifth are outstanding games that stand as among the best classic-series Mega Man titles. The third's good too, if not quite the equal of its sequels. But anyway, I do like Mega Man I for GB, despite its flaws. It's no match for III-V, but it's a fun little game that series fans should play, yes.

As I said though, Gargoyle's Quest is the best of those three games. That's a great game, with some of the best graphics of the early lineup of GB games, a good difficulty level (it's challenging, but not TOO hard), plenty to do, and more.

I wonder if we'll now see Gargoyle's Quest II and Demon's Crest on Wii VC... (yes, I know, we won't. Thanks for killing off the Wii VC in the US/Europe, Nintendo.)


Oh, and yes, Nintendo BADLY needs to get into the habit of making demos. Nintendo's demo policy on the Wii was insanely disgraceful; what kind of an idiot thought up a program where demos are only distributed for a few weeks and then get permanently removed from download? It makes absolutely no sense at all, and is extremely counter-intuitive... and of course retail games almost never have demos. Demos are important and useful, Nintendo needs to do them more often.

Oh, and the first post still doesn't have the Fossil Fighters 2 DS demo listed... it should have been added some time ago.

From the product pages. This is Wario Land.

The site is up and down atm and I can't sign in, so I'll try again later today... hopefully they're not going to limit the number of people who can get the games.

Looks like only Nintendo of Japan has them on the product pages so far.

Is there an official Thread for Pushmo/Pullbox/whatever it's called. I'm really excited for it

For the Japanese release. Someone should probably make a new one.

Fingers crossed we get it for the UK too - I've got a few odds and ends from the Stars Catalogue, but if I could start trading Stars for download codes for WiiWare/VC/3DS software etc. I'd be chuffed to bits.

I'll do that then. Something to pass the time untill it's available for downlaod.

The ONLY stuff I've ever spent my coins on is stuff that I can actually play (i.e. the Game and Watch titles). This is amazing for me. I don't really have much use for collectables, but games? The more, the merrier!

I blew a bundle of my Stars on a Nintendogs plush for my stepdaughter, and spent more on points, but I'd be happy to spend them directly on DD games.

Okay, this is very much acceptable.

You already can, sort of, just not 3DS software.

The difference here though is that the US prices are very reasonable, while the EU prices go beyond abuse and into the realm of molestation.

Enjoy!

All EU Club Nintendo prices are a joke...

 

[Negator]

So if you spend coins on games, do you get the coins for those games?

 

[Cosmonaut X]

https://wiipointscard.nintendo-europe.com/php/index.php?lang=en_GB

Yeah, and as I said I've spent Stars on those before. I'd much rather just be able to redeem a certain number of Stars directly for a game I want, though, rather than have to purchase a fixed-value virtual card (and only so many a day, IIRC).

And, yes, the prices stink - 4000 Stars for a single 1000pt card? That works out at 16 game registrations just to earn enough to get ~£8-worth of points.

 

[AceBandage]

Fludity is 150 coins?
Damn...
Really want it, but I also wish it was on 3DS now, haha.

Pushmo will be mine! No eshop demos though? BOO-URNS

EDIT Paper Wars actually looks pretty cool. Here's a video review of the PSP Mini version. Looks like Defend Your Castle.

 

[GeekyDad]

Yeah, same here. I think it's the fact that you can design and share your own levels that entices me the most. My son and I have always loved that sort of thing.

Pretty common misconception on the internet. Hudson's not dead, they shut down their American office.

Pretty common misconception on the internet. Hudson's not dead, they shut down their American office.

Hudson have been absorbed 100% by Konami, cancelled the 3DS titles they had in development and are now focusing solely on social gaming. They're dead, at least in the form that most of GAF will care about.

Sealed Game&Watch Collection 1 for NDS on ebay ~$30 or 800 coins
