I believe NA is getting Unepic and F1 Race Stars for Wii U tomorrow. First time in a while Wii U gets two new games, I think.
Simon's Quest comes out tomorrow in Europe on 3DS. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=96929075&postcount=433
Leaderboards only iirc; as a longtime codies racing game fan and kart racer fan it's also not a great game.is it possible to play F1 Race Stars online?
Yep, I know, that's why I said "WiiU".

You'd be better serve by Sonic & Allstars Racing Transformed.
The porting will start next January. When the porting is done, I will have to do all changes in the game coming from Nintendo, specially in dialogs and some 'adult-like' quests ;-)
I've had my eye on UnEpic for a while. 9.99 seems like a nice price; I was expecting 15 dollars to be honest. Impressions on Steam seem generally very positive. While searching for info on the game I found this old comment from the dev.
Are you using the Wii eshop? You have to download it from there.
Are you serious? It said "Wii U"!
System: Wii
Originally launched in 1998 for the Nintendo 64™ system, 1080° SNOWBOARDING can be downloaded from the Virtual Console™ section of the Wii Shop Channel on the Wii™ console for 1000 Wii Points™. Additional accessories required for 2-player mode; sold separately. For a limited time only until February 9 2014, Club Nintendo members can get a download ticket for this game for just 200 Coins.
How to Download: You will receive a Wii download ticket, and can download the game at the Wii Shop Channel.
I don't care what anyone else says, Simon's Quest is an absolutely amazing game, and one of my favorites.
Ugh. It may be more playable with save states. That way if you spend 15 minutes working hard going all the way to the left and find nothing, you can just load up the save state to take you back to where you started and then try going right.
Are you serious? It said "Wii U"!
Is it just me or are VC releases on 3DS and Wii U in the same day increasing lately? Maybe, cross-buy is coming!
...In 201x, but maybe it's coming!

To view this week's Nintendo Download in its full graphical version, please visit: http://news2know.net/nintendo/downloadW82dnuf6.php.
In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their systems. Nintendo adds new titles weekly to the Nintendo eShop for the Wii U system as well as the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL systems, to the Nintendo DSi Shop for the Nintendo DSi system and to the Wii Shop Channel for the Wii console.
The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features games, applications and videos. Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or by purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in the Nintendo eShop on either Wii U or Nintendo 3DS, but can be used in either Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single Nintendo Network account.
The Wii Shop Channel offers games and applications and uses Wii Points, which can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel. The Nintendo DSi Shop offers games and applications and uses Nintendo DSi Points, which can be purchased in the Nintendo DSi Shop. A Wii Points Card and Nintendo DSi Points Card can be purchased at retail locations. All points from one card must be redeemed in either the Wii Shop Channel or the Nintendo DSi Shop, respectively. They are not transferable and cannot be divided between the two systems.
Remember that Wii U, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo DSi feature parental controls that let adults manage some of the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu, http://www.nintendo.com/wii, http://www.nintendo.com/3ds or http://www.nintendo.com/ds.
Weird, EU gets the original name. & ESRB doesn't have the rating up. Still hoping for a Jan. release.Sayonara UmiharaKawase just got its PEGI rating.... guess the game will be officially announced during the next Nintendo Direct
Will I understand everything if I've never played D&D outside of the 2D beat 'em ups? The only reason I'm excited is because it looks Castlevania-ish. Is this the case, or am I way off the mark?
Some new 3DS communities in the US:
Not sure if all of them are new.

Wow, awesome week
Bah, gonna stop hoping for LTTP and SMB3 at this point. They will get here when they get here I guess..
I don't think it's a bad week at all. One good indie game and a good VC game is pretty decent in my book.I think you were being sarcastic but I'm not sure. Right?

Simon's Quest...good game?
Does not compute.
What is it with Atlus and sales, seriously? I have $60 on my eShop account with $40 for Bravely Default but all these sales are making me want to spend all of it on the Atlus games I don't have yet.
Pretty cool that Simon's Quest is on both eShops at the same time.
Of course, it kind of highlights the unfortunate absence of cross-buy.

I'd settle for a cross-discount at least. Sort of like the Wii to Wii U upgrade fee. I can appreciate Nintendo puts more work into their VC stuff than Sony does their PS Classics (perfected emulation, bug free, digital manuals, Miiverse communities) but buying an emulated game twice at full price definitely discourages people I think.I wish cross buy was a thing. And hopefully it ends up free similar to what Sony is doing. I doubt it unfortunately.

What on earth is the point of only releasing Simon's Quest for VC today when it could have been released along with Gradius last week as a double hitter for Konami fans?
Almost two months since launch for SM3DW and LBW and still can't upgrade my copies of SMB3 and LTTP, absolutely rediculous. This is why NOA is still the most hated region for Nintendo management. We get EB within the first 6 months of the shop being up but they can't bother to give us other simple, mainline AAA titles? I again say this is strong circumstantial evidence that there is no way they would have given us Earthbound if Iwata hadn't kindly taken note of the fan outpouring for the game on Miiverse. I really do think he stepped in for us and made a call to Redmond on that one at least.
It would have made way more sense to release Castlevania 1-4 and Rondo of Blood back in October. They could have bundled all of them for $20.What on earth is the point of only releasing Simon's Quest for VC today when it could have been released along with Gradius last week as a double hitter for Konami fans?
