I'd buy Yumi's Odd Odyssey but I'm pretty sure it's more expensive in Canada and I won't support that bullshit.
$32.99, apparently. Not cool.

They should've had all the Mario games out during launch week.
This has not yet been presented as a possible reason why Nintendo hasn't released this in NA, but 'lol nintendo hates money' continues to get trotted out.
Thanks. Just a couple actually. How are the size of the sprites in game (particularly the bullets)? And any slowdown? Thanks again!spent some time with this during commute to and from work. Nice shooter, looks good, runs smooth in 3-D also. Played on normal difficulty which seemed a bit too easy so will play on hard from now on.
I have never played the original version though so cant compare it to anything. I do think the price maybe a little high though.
you have any questions?

A new indie game announced, inspired by Metroid Prime, but alas no sceenshot, just the engine running..
The Mario 3 "edge of screen glitch" is not actually a glitch at all and did the same thing on an original NES. You probably just never noticed it thanks to your TV hiding it, though.
The NES can only use an off-screen buffer to update tiles on a single axis.
So in Super Mario Bros., you would see nothing because the screen only move horizontally. Super Mario Bros. 2 also had nothing because each area was set to either horizontal or vertical, so the off-screen buffer was fine there too.
Mario 3, however, scrolls in all directions. So the vertical buffer is off-screen, but the horizontal one had to be done by using the edge of the on-screen area. That's all you're seeing, horizontal tile buffer.
I logged a goood hour on the game as well. Beat it on normal (yes, fairly easy on normal) but there is still hard and extra hard.
Gorgeous game. Sprites are big and pretty. Sound is off-the-hook and way better than genny/gba. It is like an HD version of those games. Things flash red when hit instead of white like the originals. Otherwise , basically the same game structurally. No flicker or slowdown. Achievments and local leaderboard.
I dunno about price as $30 is really nothing for a shooter for me. Guess your milage will vary. I've got every shooter on 3DS and this and the nee Fantasy Zone rank up there at the top. Washes the bad taste from the two Milestone junk titles recently released.

I've just seen it on Go Nintendo: http://www.gonintendo.com/s/224519-dead-pixel-announces-sync-for-wii-u-updates-on-starbeast
- first-person-adventure
- developed by Dead Pixel Entertainment
- only in development for 2 weeks
- original plan was to have development done by April, but the team was slowed due to a staff emergency
- six team members involved
- looking to innovate in the genre
- focuses on exploration and discovery
- you are thrown into a world with little to no direction
- come to find out something is terribly wrong in this world
- game won't hold the player's hand
- game world simple enough to navigate with a compass
- inspired by Metroid Prime
- the game world is devoid of life, with everything clean and organized
- enemy characters move through specific paths
- dual analog first person shooter scheme
- aiming to release by the end of 2014
- involves item collection
- robots have become dominant
- locate data stations and upload a deadly virus to destroy Sync

Curious about this.
The same developer also mentioned another game:
Starbeast
- horizontal shooter.
- includes writers, voice actors and musicians on the team
the games were also free for 24 hours on their date of release after activating the license.Is this the first time Nintendo has done a free weekend? If they started doing more of these like Steam does that'd be fantastic.
Can you play Wii Sports Club without a wiimote ?
No you cant. At least I'm pretty sure you can't.Can you play Wii Sports Club without a wiimote ?

We also had free play for New Year's

Interesting - if it's happened before then maybe that means it'll carry on in future and for other games apart from Wii Sports Club too.
Volleyball. Man, I've been waiting for this!
well people are stupid, their fault.Random Wii sports club thought. You know the golf game that has the option to put the gamepad on the floor...What were they thinking? You had people throwing remotes at the TV and now they want them to drop them on the Gamepad or better still, step on it.
I know they showed the tech demo meaning it had to become a fleshed out product and honestly at this point of the game such an article would be beneficial.

I just bought a Wii U for Volleyball. Can't wait!!
nope. wiimote is absolut essential.
Looks like it's puzzle day with Trozel leading the charge.
No you cant. At least I'm pretty sure you can't.

Remember when they had Mega Man X on sale for $2? That was awsome

Man, they couldn't even muster a few new Virtual Console games for WiiU this week?
What a letdown.
You act like it's a surprise.
I loved how they even named the promotion "2 games, 2 days, 2 dollars" to get everyone's hopes up for future promotions. At this point I'd be happy with a simple 30% off promotion on some nice games or a buy 2, get 1 type deal.
FULL HD 1080p and Stereoscopic 3D support
8 bucks for Pokemon Battle Trozei? I was expecting $20 or more, I'm totally buying this!Wow.
Pure Chess
Stereoscopic 3D support, that's like the 2nd Wii U title to support it isn't it (the other being AC3)?
I'm interested in this, but the PSN version scores are quite low...
Edit: Cross-platform online play with not only 3DS, but iOS and Android too? Sold!
