Yup. Trading in my copy toward an eShop card. I don't care about losing my save file...it's Mario Kart.

I am flabbergasted they actually made the sensible business decision by splitting Guild01 into separate eShop titles.

Looks like Nintendo is trying to stick to their guns with not devaluing software, but unfortunately they're being a bit too stringent. Mind you, most of these games have plenty of content they're not Pilotwings Resort.
I think they really should have made the e-shop rebate program attached to the Wii U Deluxe system a standard program for everyone on both Wii U and 3DS. Provide incentives that result in lower prices over time, without pissing off retailers that every game directly undercuts MSRP.

There's actually a lot to get excited for in that list. Wow, can't say I was expecting that.

THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF.
I THINK I AM HAVING A HEART ATTACK. TOO MUCH! TOO MUCH!!
Thank you NOA. You actually done something right.
Wario Land 2
Fluidity 2
Mario Golf
Night Sky
Lost Levels (weird that this isn't Mario 2 US but whatever. Maybe I will finally beat it with save states.)
Crashmo.
Mario Kart 7 (Won't buy until the save transfer thing is out)
ALL IN A THREE MONTH SPAN.
Holy Fuck. I am suddenly not hyped for WiiU anymore. Bring on the 3DS goodies.

You will have to actually initiate the transfer from the 3DS to the XL, which moves everything to the XL and associates the data on the SD card with the XL, and deletes from the 3DS. There are no eShop accounts.
Not sure about Liberation Maiden, but they said one game each month, LM in October (so that one could actually be up now), AP in November and CS in December.

I'd really, really, really like to hear someone from Nintendo answer the digital content naming question. Yes, yes, yes, different stuff plays differently to different audiences, tailored marketing, we're not idiots--but why is it that essentially EVERY piece of digital content gets a different name across regions and essentially NO pieces of retail content do? It's like a running gag at this point more than anything

And I figured Nintendo will ruin the appeal of Steel Diver and Pilotwings some more. As much as I enjoyed the latter, considering they were at 5 dollars or even given away as free, they should be free to say fuck retailers, because they're not getting money from me on this.
Dammit.

They've been making the NES ambassador games slowly available for a while now. But you have to pay for them, obviously.

The NES games were not exclusive. The GBA games are the exclusive ones. The non-Ambassador peasants are never getting those. NEVER! >

Do we have Crashmo's Japanese title yet?
So we aren't getting that RPG shopkeeper game from G01?
I'm betting 10 at least. Maybe 15.

Nintendo said at the time that the NES games would eventually go on sale to the public and some already have.

As a CV nut I am obligated to buy it, however, it's a very slooooow and short CV spin-off. It was an early GB game and it shows. I can't recommend it except to CV diehards.
The Wii game based off of it is quite good, though. Well worth a purchase.

Really excited for Crashmo, Nightsky and the Guild 01 stuff, though I'm sad the Blacksmith game didn't make it. Maybe with round 2?
VC lineup is pitiful given it's for 3 months, but fuck, I'll take *anything* at this point. At least Mario Golf is soonish.

I just did this a couple days ago. just wanna add that after you do this you can dump the contents of your old SD card onto a newer/bigger SD card and it will still work in the XL.
Okay, so I want:
- Crashmo
- NightSky
- Aero Porter
- Crimson Shroud
- Mario Golf
- Castlevania: The Adventure (only so they hurry up and bring Belmont's Revenge, honestly)
- Ninja Gaiden
- Wario Land II
- SMB The Lost Levels (this is the real SMB1 as far as I'm concerned and not the real SMB2)
And demos for 3 games I was planning to buy? Too good.

eShop is going to get so much of my money between now and the end of the year. Not even counting overpriced retail games available digitally.
I feel like I could probably spend two $20 point card easily by the end of the year, between NSMB2 DLC and all the games coming out that interest me.
If only I wasn't getting taxed twice on them

It turns out the guys who owned the rights to "Star Fox" in Europe also bought a huge bundle of random and oddly specific trademarks years ago and never let go of them. Who knew!

It's most likely intentional, like to drive Europeans punching these games into search engines to regional sites or something.
Case in point: Hana Samurai : Art of the Sword. They replaced a Japanese word for another Japanese word that means something similar for a region that does not speak Japanese. Nobody could tell the difference unless they spoke Japanese.

They probably want to release the Advance versions of SMB2 and 3 instead and make more money that way.
This is actually really cool and a big step up from whatever the hell they were doing at first. I like that they actually laid out the VC schedule as well. Still want those GBA games!

Why are you getting taxed on the cards? Isn't it illegal to charge tax on electronic money cards?

Most likely, NoJ forces their overseas branches to maintain branding consistency for retail titles but doesn't care as much about their digital offerings. Also doesn't help that most retail titles are pre-established brands while the digital offerings are new IPs, open to new naming interpretations.

YES! ^_^
Yes! Guild 01 games! Also, I've been playing Catherine lately, so Crashmo sounds awesome (haven't played Pushmo yet).
On the other hand, $40 for digital titles, is just...
And, yet, I think I'll get Mario Kart 7 digitally.

No way, the whole collection had a fairly sensible price by Japanese standards (3900 Yen). They wont charge more than ten bucks per game in the US and even that seems like it's on the higher end.
I'd love to know as well. What's with the Sakura Samurai -> Hana Samurai renaming? Sakura means cherry blossom, hana means flower - Japanese in both cases, similar meaning. I don't get it.
