Ah, nice. Another upgrade for me.
If NA gets SMB:LL and still be behind on SMB3 and LttP all I can do is laugh at NOA at their incompetence

Europe is getting Super Mario Bros. DX for 3DS VC on February 12?
Have we heard anything about it coming out in the US yet?
No it isn't. NoE has a promotion where you get SMB DX for free when registering or linking your NNID on 3DS. The codes are being sent out starting Feb 13 (until Feb 28). Promotion ends January 31.

Just thought I'd post this here after being cleared by the mods. I am running a contest for a 10 USD eShop card in the Dr. Luigi OT; I thought that since this is the downloads thread, some of you might be interested in the prize. If you like to draw, then this is for you.
It is. The game is very good and the visuals are gorgeous.
I second that. It was my favorite eshop game until Toki Tori 2 came up.
Trine 2 is on sale like every other week, haha. At this point I wonder why they haven't just changed the price. I suppose it's true there are some psychological effects when you see that "SALE" banner.

I didn't know until today that Unepic had achievements and that seals the deal on that game for me. When I get some extra cash, I might pick it up. It already looks pretty good. I'd probably rather buy the Steam version but my PC won't run it but the Wii-U versions seems just as good.

Isn't it available on 3DS in NA?
Welp, nothing really interesting this week for me.
Unepic
I'm interested in Unepic! Might wait for a sale, though, since I have quite a Wii U backlog at the moment.
They're working on it so that it doesn't destroy their servers anymore.

Finally, the long awaited sequel to Bella Sara.
Awesome. I'm pretty sure this has been on sale before, but I missed it. Glad I've held off region locking my eShop, so I can still switch over to the UK and get it (wasn't released in Australia~)

With all respect to the teams there, that should have been a concern during the initial development process especially when you consider they're asking money for this thing to cover running costs.
They just weren't expecting such load, I guess.
I want unepic and castlestorm, but will wait for Sales for the same reason
But the actual problem with the eShop is the high numbers of people creating/merging their eShop account, and since Poké Bank is a free app, you need to have NNID. That lead lots of people who never go on the eShop (or those who do and dont want an ID) to not only access it, and but create their ID, and that + christmas load + eShop sales = servers dead.
My guess if they're waiting for both people creating their ID (they DID ask people to do it before Poké Bank is relaunched) + also improving stuff behind the scenes. I mean, it's not the first time their servers are killed by heavy loads thanks to the NNID
Well, I'm sure we'll know more about that during the next Direct. One thing's for sure : releasing it on Christmas day wasn't very clever of them
Will be mine! (at some point soon maybe not this week^^)

You know what the easiest solution is if NNID is the Pokebank problem. Sell NNID on its own merits. i.e. Don't have it as a requirement for free software. I personally go with the NNID theory as the update that debuted it did similar things.
I've lost hope of those two. The former I guess NOE bailed on translation when they saw the terrible overseas sales and no FIGS means NOE won't publish it. If the 3DS were region free Nintendo Australia may have stuck OFLC stickers onto some US copies (they did this quite a lot in the DS era, isn't Fossil Fighters one note worthy example).
The NNID wasn't the issue
1) an "easy" way to do that would be a queue system, where you go to create your NNID, but it won't be created immediately. That way, no server overload like the ones we got on Dec. 10 and during the holidays.
2) I seriously doubt it. The game was delayed the same week it was supposed to come out, and besides, the translation was already complete (there's some French screens and all). And the game was already delayed once, as it was supposed to come out in February. No idea what happened to it. Yeah, it bombed pretty much everywhere it was released, but NoE was already done with the localisation by then. It's just like Scribblenauts Unlimited, which got delayed for no reason.

Still hoping to see a sale on Code of Princess for the EU
I'm afriad you're gonna have to wait a while, I doubt Agatsuma Entertainement is gonna have a sale any time soon... though I'm sure there's already been one. Maybe I'm thinking of NA.

Code of Princess was on sale in EU already

It has an OFLC rating at least. Not being in the most recent direct makes me think it is months off (remember

It's actually quite easy if you know what you're doing. I suggest looking up an online guide somewhere, because there's some stuff you'll NEVER figure out on your own, I guarantee it.

Same here. I really wanted to pick this up at release but the fact that it was released ~6 months after the US retail release and when the US finally got it on eShop (~3 months before us) the official discounts they received made me very hesitant on pulling the trigger for this at full price. Probably gonna feel the same way when SMT4 and Cave Story finally release.
Fuck Nicalis.
You sure? It's always been £25 and there's never been a press release (from Nintendo) about any sale prices.
"the regular Wii one"?
I don't understand how Brain Age still isn't out in europe. what the hell's going on?
I get that it bombed everywhere and they're cautious about releasing it, but at the very least put it on the eShop for god's sake.
Not true. It was released on 3DS over a year ago.

Wii as opposed to Wii U
I stand corrected, I must have missed that.
Well, guess I have no need for the Wii U one then.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
It looks like that way. :/
Oh well, I think I'll finish Castlevania first then move to II.
I hope Castlevania III is on the way to the 3DS eShop.
Started playing Jett Rocket II after the update, and I have to admit it's much better now. It was such a shame to have smooth 60FPS game with a character slower than an old lady in an armchair. The levels are pretty cool, and challenging enough (though I hate the enemies ). Then again, I don't think it's worth the current pricetag (10 I believe?).
