Not sure, I'll check my PS4 tonight, but I wouldn't be surprised. Wouldn't be surprised about XB1 having way less then 360, cause 360 required or at least forced a lot of games to have demos, so their likely will be a good bit less demos now.
Demos for games months after they come out might not be a bad idea after sales really die down though. Part me is interested in perhaps doing a demo for my own game later on (way after Europe release) to help drive up sales again.
Thanks again! This looks really interesting, everything I heard about it on the 8-4 podcast made me want to check it out (especially the old-school translation)
Which F-Zero were you thinking for Week One? I think I would have to go for those Kirby eShop games if they'd really discount them already.
I couldn't agree more. It's almost impossible to get an OT going for a Wii U indie game because individual thread discussion is so limited, the chances someone sees one of these threads and has actually played the game seems very low. If we could have Aostia's thread going again it would be much easier.
It really is unfortunate. I miss the days of demos, although Nintendo never really got big into the demo scene themselves. It would be very useful for eShop games in general, though, especially indies.
Tappingo 2 is as fun as the original. I haven't started the puzzles which enable the ability to zoom in and out, so I haven't really seen anything different mechanic-wise yet that the original didn't already have. Still, it's nice to have more puzzles. Anyone know if DLC is in the cards? It'd be nice to get some additional puzzles after the 104 or so are completed.
It's got to be the SNES one, right? Has Nintendo dropped any of the GBA games on the Wii U VC?

Maximum Velocity is on VC as well in all territories, but I was thinking the SNES game since I'm not sure Captain Falcon is in the GBA one off hand.
Also, I can't believe I forgot Link Between Worlds as a possibility for the Zelda 3DS game. That may have better odds than Ocarina 3D...
Oh, weird, I totally didn't even remember MV already hit VC.
Anyway, per Wiki:
No idea if Nintendo would even care about that, though!

Not really actually. There is some evidence pointing to that, but it's kind of 50-50. It certainly does put off a lot of people who would've bought the game otherwise, but it can also give people who wouldn't have bought the game otherwise a chance to test the game out. I think for AAA games the amount of sales it would reduce might be actually larger than the amount of sales it gets, but for indie games I'd say it's the other way, because indie games almost never have the kind of marketing AAA games have so people aren't really waiting for them in the same way. Thus a demo could reach a lot of people who didn't even know about the game.
Personally, when I hopefully some day in the future will have a small indie game firm (I'm switching to computer science at the moment), I want to offer demos for my games if it's only possible. I know it's often not an easy thing to do of course (to have a demo that represents the game well and makes you hungry for more), but I feel like it's worthy to push for that. It's just a really consumer friendly thing in my opinion.
Assuming you were curious about Azure Striker and not Mighty: It's a fun and neat follow-up to the Mega Man Zero games. It's a little on the easy side, but if you liked those you'll probably have fun here. At the very least I definitely enjoyed it.

Gameplay, less menus the better!
I'll play through several areas and unlock some of the characters this evening. This way I can enter Free Mode & explore without the menu prompts & capture pure gameplay.

If you know your way around the Dynasty Warriors series, do you think you could play in other difficulty settings than Easy or Normal? Most of the available footage seems to be in those settings and has enemies just standing there waiting to be killed, as expected. Seeing something different would be great.

Mighty Gunvolt 3DS NA ONLY (eshop) --

Can do. Have been playing on Normal & it's been pretty simple, thus far. I'll do some Hard difficulty & see how I handle it. I'll try to capture some standard battles & a few boss battles mixed in with them to give the footage some extra pop.

Playing Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, even on normal difficulty you get attacked by mobbed crowds more actively. I suspected Nintendo may have had normal tuned down low in Hyrule Warriors.
I've read on Gamefaqs that the unlockable highest difficulty is built to murder you. I'd hope hard is at least what should have been "normal".

Fire Emblem Awakening.
I've been stopping a ton of my characters relationships at A so they don't reach S because I didn't want to get screwed over like with Chrom and my MC. When they get to S do they automatically activate babby mode or can I pick and choose to move forward on that?

Imagine you could be playing Kid Icarus instead. Forgot about your social links.
Basically, yes to the former. You can pick one S per pairing (assuming they can get there), but then you're unable to get S with anyone else. Chrom is the only one who potentially automatically marries somebody.
while I agree KIU is an incredible game worth playing, FEA is pretty great too. Apotheosis still gives me a chubbie.

One of the best surprises in recent years, in my opinion. Very mediocre game, but it's a decent Mario 3D Land clone that surprised the hell out of me. The sequel looks excellent, in my opinion.

Is there anyway to change 3DS region after linking NNID? I tried formatting my 3ds but all my games were gone and I had to relink the same NNID.
I want to use my US eshop cards and I'm stuck with Canada
Edit: Got extra Mighty GV key, PM if interested.
Country tied to your NNID is permanent. You can only change it on a system level and create a new NNID for that country.

Do you have a lot of digital games? If you deactivate your Canadian NNID I think you might lose them and your wallet. if there's money in it.
There were warnings about this when NNID was introduced on 3ds, so Nintendo might not help but it still seems unfair to me. If this were me I'd call or write to Nintendo and pretend I was moving country, ask if anything could be done to move my stuff.

You're not "losing" anything. You just have to change back and forth if you want to access the respective NNID which is a hassle.
The only way to lose your purchases permanently is to "delete" your NNID since your purchases are tied to the NNID in question. Deleting it will also delete your purchase history forever. Unlinking is not the same as deleting, btw!
Oh! So can you theoretically unlink and relink as much as you want? Still not ideal if you have a lot of purchases but that would be better than losing things permanently.
Wait a sec, I don't think you can change your NNID on 3DS. From what I understand, once it's set, it's set. Only way to remove it without deleting it is to contact Nintendo.
However, it's different on Wii U -- you can maintain multiple user accounts with different NNIDs, so spending that US eShop money would be quite straightforward on Wii U.

Cubemen 2 is a pretty fun RTS game with loads of content and customization options. Played about ten hours so far and that is just the two campaigns on normal and expert.
Afterwards, there are more than 8000 user-made levels to try out by yourself, or against other players with seven different modes. Haven't played around with the level editor enough yet to give any opinion
In Nintendo's defence they didn't tell you to register their hardware in different countries.

Also, I don't know if I should make a thread for this or not, but http://eshop.nintendo.net/ takes an awfully long time to timeout loading, as opposed to completely non-functional URLs such as, let's say, http://words.nintendo.net/
To be clear, http://miiverse.nintendo.net/ and http://p.nintendo.net/ are working just fine. Sorry about the random post, but I didn't know of a better place to put it, and I don't think it warrants a thread just quite yet.

I think it's "fine". I guess someone looking for a pure pinball game might not like it, it's definitely "adventure pinball". It's a bit chunky feeling.
It's also that period of GBA development where Nintendo were rendering everything and scaling down to sprites in MS Paint. See also Mario vs DK.
It has some cool ideas. You basically fulfill different requirements on every screen and get stars, Mario 64-style. There's also items to use and bosses to fight.
However, the fact that a lot of Pinball games use two screens on Gameboy platforms and this one doesn't works to its detriment. It's just really easy to let the ball slip past you which shouldn't be such a big deal IF you didn't lose all the progress you made in the screen you were just in as a result. Thus, the game gets grindy and tedious really quickly.
I love pinball games and this one was really disappointing. I also just found out that it's not made by Nintendo but by Fuse Games (now Silverball Studios). They later did Metroid Prime Pinball which I own but have yet to play.
