Is VC even announced?

Iwata said this a few weeks ago... I think it might've been during a Nintendo Direct

"We understand that there are people who were looking forward to playing Wii games, Virtual Console games, and so forth on the GamePad, but unfortunately we cannot accommodate those users' expectations. There are plans for a Wii U Virtual console that will be compatible with the Wii U GamePad."

 

[Tempy]

Here in the Netherlands there's 19% tax included with the price, they don't count that so I got 84 points for it as well. €8.40 x 1.19 = about €10.

It's been 21% sales tax since October.

 

[Anticitizen One]

So this retroactively includes games I purcahsed on launch day correct?

 

[NeoRausch]

yes.

 

[TimmiT]

I know, but apparently that doesn't apply yet to the Wii U eShop, it says 19% at the check-out.

 

[Mardak]

Can someone test if you get full points when using eShop credits to purchase? Or did anyone buy eShop titles using 3DS eShop point cards?

I would assume the activated credit in $5 increments from the digital deluxe program appear just like any other point cards, so buying a $59.99 game where $5 was paid in credits would still give 599 points.

A simple test would be for someone with 2x $5 credits buying a $9.99 game and checking if 99 points are added.

If so, you end up getting more than 10% back. (Approaches 11%.)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

best thing to wake up to ever now what to get with this

 

[Tempy]

I know, but apparently that doesn't apply yet to the Wii U eShop, it says 19% at the check-out.

I should send them an e-mail to remind them!

 

[Kevtones]

Damn Smiles - what are your options left for purchasing?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Damn Smiles - what are your options left for purchasing?

Tekken & Warriors

The others stuff like Epic Mickey 2 I am not buying

it just adds $5 bucks each code you type in to your balance sweet!

so which one of the two should I get, Tekken or Warriors?

 

[ozfunghi]

Nintendo of Europe math: 10% of €23,5 = 196pts

No wonder Europe's economy is down the drain with people failing at simple math.

Tekken for the Nintendo costumes easily.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Tekken for the Nintendo costumes easily.

Sold!

as soon as I type in these codes :3

3 down 7 to go.... who said friend codes are gone lol

 

[Kevtones]

Tekken for the Nintendo costumes easily.

I was going to say Warriors because it's great!



That is, if you like Musou games. I downloaded it digitally myself because I get the periodic Musou itch and there's a TON of content in the game.

What are you more in the mood for? Tekken is awesome but IMO fighters are not much of a solo experience. While Orochi is an awesome solo experience but with good options for coop too. Annnnnd if you do like Warriors, it's the best Warriors game to date.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

okay sold on both

Yeah, I'm super impressed. The amount of characters/diversity is staggering and the simple weapon fusion is effective.

Really digging the game.

 

[kiryogi]

There might be a little bias as I've been in extensive amounts of time into the PS3 ver and now the Wii U ver D: lol. it's so good D:

 

[Kevtones]

off-screen play+interim save feature is super great for quick plays too

 

[kiryogi]

Being able to just plug it in anywhere then play it in my bed was too awesome.

 

[Gahiggidy]

What if you bought a basic?

 

[NeoRausch]

What if you bought a basic?

then....nothing.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Signed up!

 

[NeoRausch]

Signed up!

don't be silly! monkeys can not write....or sign a contract.

jeez!

 

[Zee-Row]

Theres no way to link this with the 3DS eshop? I buy more crap on there.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

What if you bought a basic?

If I had a Basic right now I would be sad... here is the $50 I would have saved for the Basic and I would have still made the same software purchases regardless of this promotion so I just got a little extra today.

Since this is in my balance I guess I get points off my next purchase too? lol

Ok Tekken or Warriors you guys made some good points about Warriors for Solo play so I'll have to get soon.

No wonder Europe's economy is down the drain with people failing at simple math.

Reading comprehension seems to be quite bad as well, since Europe only gets 8%.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

the same 10 codes I just typed on my Wii U eShop? I could have just gotten my 3DS off the table next to me and type them into that eShop instead.

going full digital. 599 per retail game = 5000 points very quickly.

huh, while the first part makes no sense ('cause...nintendo) the second part is where the fascinatin truth lies.
i feel the same on wiiU.
this is just a little testrun. just deluxe owners are going to take part and (for now) only till december 2014.
but still, those 10% work on my mind. allready thinking about downloading Sonic.


a nintendo system is the first one that make me consider buying more DD-game.
that's crazy town. but they are doing something right there.


now just make the DL speed faster, dammit!

 

[Gahiggidy]

then....nothing.

hrmp! Hey, it will probably work out even in the end after all you deluxe owners spend all that money on Windex and rags to clean off your disgusting, fingerprint smeared, gamepads.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

You got to clean that White one just as much

anyone have the DL size for Warriors? since the VGAs are tonight I don't want anything to slow my connection during the streams maybe going with that will be faster for today

 

[Kevtones]

Warriors is 16 gigs actually - kind of huge :/

oh hey, while you say this:

why the hell is there no pause button on the download options?
downloaded. Trine2 (something around1.5 GB)and Little Inferno (something 190 MB? correct me if i'm wrong) yesterday. started Trine 2 first and then LI.
checked my download.....yeah Trine 2 was crawling along as expected. so i decided to pause it and download little inferno first. small size ergor faster download and something to play while trine2 downloads.
but....nahhhh. no dice!

 

[Bizubani]

Got 99 points for Nano Assault.
Really hoping that they fix the account situation soon, if they even consider it a problem. Need to buy digital, saves me a crazy amount compared to buying it in a shop.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

thanks! they are both the same so it does not matter which on I choose to go first might not even be ready until morning lol

you can pause the download but it just stops all downloads they go one at a time not multi-downloads so pausing one keeps the other waiting in line longer to get a turn.

 

[NeoRausch]

ah well. maaaybe somewhere in the future.

gonna plan my DLs better for the future then.

 

[Larsen B]

My replacement digital copy of NintendoLand from Amazon counted as a DD purchase so I got 420 points straight away.

It's not amazing, especially as it's 10% on the nett, but it'll be a treat every few months.

 

[MidnightScott]

Cool im getting internet at my new place so ill be able to have my Wii U and 3DS and computer online again

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Ok, for some reason I can no longer log-in. What the hell.

EDIT: Fixed

 

[beast786]

Nice bonus and surprise today

Hm, this is kinda interesting.
Unfortunately it still doesn't make digital games cheaper than retail ones. Though once you take into account the ease of switching games, and maybe even improved loading times, it becomes mighty tempting.

 

[Anilusion]

So this is only for the Wii U Premium, not the Basic, right?

 

[IrishNinja]

damn, went retail & missed out on this. i kinda wanna jump on nano ass, but it needs a demo!

i can wait though, crazy backlog + i only wanna use points for whenever they have the new VC setup for the pad anyway.

Yes, you get full points back even if you use your credits. I can confirm this. So, you still get points back if you use your credit earned through points.

If they work as fast as they usually do, then they won't get a decent VC lineup before this promotion is over.
