Tilt works fine but 360 tilt + headphones is really crap. Great game though.

Very good week for VC. Unfortunately I have no need for Lost Levels as I already have both the GBA Famicom mini version and Wii VC (we really need at least limited cross play support). Mega Man 1 is very tempting though since I currently only have it on the GC Anniversary Collection.

Disappointed to hear that Toki Tori 2 got pushed back and that there is nothing on the Wii U shop this week.
At least I'll be buying two 3DS VC games!

Next week in NA, I think.
NES/SNES games on GBA = gross. The GBA's screen resolution is too low, resulting in a significant portion of the image being cropped. The 3DS actually has enough pixels to display the entire picture.
For the NES Classics/Famicom Mini case, right cause, (mostly) wrong effect. Most of the resolution constraint is alleviated by downscaling graphics, using various techniques—IIRC, it was done very similarly to PocketNES; tiles are smoothly downscaled, and sprites have rows simply deleted. There is slight cropping, but not much more than overscan would cut off.
Why would you release content for a controller add-on?
Sorry buddy, texttextext is all you're going to get, because the game *is* a choose-your-own-adventure-book-with-figurines-and-jrpg-battles affair.

With the digital release of New Love Plus yesterday, that makes 4 retail games I want to dl from the JP 3DS eShop. But I'd need another SD Card - just don't know if I should go for a 16go or directly a 32go (price doubles and it would be used solely for that purpose).
Any news on future 4go games per chance?
In any case I'm glad NLP got released, 'cause that means other "old" games still not available on the eShop may see a download version in the future.

It all depends on the game and the factors that Zigg mentioned. I know the GBA rev of SMB 1 supposedly had some serious image issues (I don't own it so can't confirm) but I can confirm that SMB LL on GBA looks beautiful, especially on a second revision GBA screen.
Get a 32GB one. I have and would only have regretted a 16GB. Incidentally, what are the other three retail games you want? I'm very tempted by Fantasy Life...
So Fluidity on the 3DS runs at only 30 frames per second. What the friggin hell?! This is seriously disappointing. The Wii game runs at 60.
It's still really good so far (I especially love the 360 degree rotation levels), but I'm baffled as to why they had to lower the framerate.

That explains the 4th position in the Recent Bestsellers on the PL store ; )

Fluidity for me. I've been waiting forever for this game. The eShop just keeps pumping out gold.

It has relatively complex physics and is running on a platform less powerful than Wii. That's probably what it comes down to.

Been having issues downloading Shock Troopers. Finally got it after a 3rd attempt. Sometimes I feel it has something to do with the Wii Mode within the Wii U. It's not the first time a download has a failed on me.
It might have to do more with traffic. My friend was having trouble downloading NES games on Christmas on his regular Wii.
What is this lost levels everyone speaks of?

The Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2. The game that was released in the US with that name is not the game released in Japan. It's essentially a much more difficult remix of SMB1. Available on the 3DS eShop now.
Ah ok
An update for anyone who is wondering:
My in-laws bought a used Wii which came with a bunch of Virtual Console games they were never going to play. I borrowed it and used the Wii U transfer tool to send all of their games over to my Wii U, which I had already used to transfer over my own games from my old Wii.
I was concerned that I would lose all my Miis during the transfer, but luckily I was able to avoid this.
After you ready the SD card in the Wii U and put it in the Wii, it alerts you that there are Miis on the target system already and asks you if you'd like to replace them. You can select "No" and Miis will be retained on the source Wii and the Miis on the target Wii U will NOT be overwritten. It asks the same thing about your Wii internet settings.
Also of note, if you have the same WiiWare/VC title on the Wii U and source Wii, it will not be transferred and will remain usable on the source Wii. One thing that is unavoidable is transferring saves, so make sure to first copy any saves on either system that you don't want to lose to an SD card. The saves will be deleted from the source Wii and will overwrite any saves for the same game on the target Wii U. Luckily my in-laws only had about five games so I didn't have to worry about backing up too many saves.

Megaman 1. I still remember a lot of enemy patterns from when I played this as a kid.
Already beaten 2 robot masters.. (Cut man and bomb man if you must know).
I freaking love these games. Capcom was untouchable on the NES.
If they really release all the megaman NES games like they have said, then I'm going to have to upgrade to the xl. The og3ds has the worst gamepad in Nintendo console history.
Slide pad control for megaman is probably not going to work out for me too well

Why am I so tempted by Mega Man 1 when I have powered up on my PSP
Also hope that NoA kinda keeps to announcing their VC release schedule months in advance because it's nice to look forward to something and leads to less disappointment on Thursdays when nothing goes up.

Have a look at the Wii original if you've got a Wii or Wii U. I think it's superior to the 3DS sequel.
But all of the levels in the Wii game are already included in the 3DS game (along with 100 new ones). Sure the Wii game looks and controls a tiny bit better, but the 3DS version still makes it all but obsolete.

Is it just me or is there something off about the Wii U Pro Controller? Like the buttons are too close together or something?
I just got a white one and have been trying it out on Mighty Switch Force HD and it takes some getting use too, feels odd compared to the regular Wii U pad/old Wii Classic Pro/360 controller. Anyone else got one?

I can't download any new games any more due to my SD 8GB size limit.
Can you copy contents of the SD card to a PC without losing save data?

Am I imagining or did Zen Pinball 2 really get an announcement not long ago of coming to the uShop come 27-ish?
If you like that you might also want to check the WiiWare original.
