Well done, Nintendo. It's a shame they couldn't apply the same common sense to Steel Diver and Pilotwings! Maybe some day.

Anyone who bought Tetris Axis digitally know if it works with the retail-to-digital transfer tool? To bring over high scores, online ranking, etc?
So the Bear Shark season finale is on Nintendo Video and it has a link to the eShop and apparently there's going to be a Bear Shark game in a couple of weeks. Doesn't seem particularly complicated. (The touch screen has one giant button on it that says "Jump" or "Dive" in two of the screenshots.) Price is TBD.
They should just make a Dinosaur Office game. I'd buy that.

I'm digging it, plus you get 30 coins for registering it with Club Nintendo.

Oh shit, this is big news for UKers and eShop downloads:
http://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...14845&catalogId=10201&langId=44&storeId=10151
So it looks like retail stores are starting to get into the DD space. Wii U DD games at ~ £42 which I think is lower than eShop prices. Also 3DS DD games are cheaper than the typical £39.99 RRP e.g. Fire Emblem and Monster Hnter @ £34.99, Luigi's Mansion @ £33.99, NSMB2 @ £32.99... 1st party published stuff so far but hopefully more in the future.

Wowzers. Thanks for the link. And great news for those (like me) who are transitioning to digital...

Little surprised that Luigi's Mansion doesn't have Nintendo points as a reward for downloading and that Kid Icarus isn't available for download.
Anyway, how many blocks does Luigi's Mansion take?

My JP copy is 6,742.
Does anyone know if the code is emailed to you? Seems like I'll be doing this from now on...

Wow. Sort of reminds me of Dillon's Rolling Western. If only that had been a cool indie-looking 2.5D platformer and not a shitty repetitive tower defense game

Nikki explained in her mail, guess the spotpass post is slow...
I think its a few days old but it allows you to record audio while writing letters rathenr than have to use pre-recorded audio...at least thats what I think it said.

Thanks!
This confused me for a moment because I saw "40+", but there's 10 for the post-play. (Not sure what the heck the + is for, heh.)
Anyway, waiting on my coins. I used to have the game card, it was pretty cool despite the lack of Push Mode.

I don't get that either. Nintendo being Nintendo.
Me too. I purposely held off on the retail version because it seemed like only a matter of time until it came to the eShop, plus this is one of those games I want with me wherever I go.

Yeah we have enough of those by now, thanks. Not that we don't have enough shitty games in the world.
I bought and sold a physical copy of Tetris Axis a long time ago. I was kind of disappointed in the music and aesthetics, the new modes and features, and the inability to customize controls. But for $9.99 ... hmm. It's probably the best option available if you really want Tetris.

Nobody went retail to digital on Tetris?
...It's the first game I thought about after this news too! :lol
One day, donny...one day.
It's a Nintendo game? Bigger news than I thought! Lets hope Pilotwings, Pokémon Rumble etc etc are next

Nintendo should re-release games like Steel Diver and Pilotwings digitally at a deep discount, but with extra stuff added in (like what Shin'en did with Nano Assault EX) and the ability to get DLC (like extra missions in both games). They probably won't do that, but I'd consider double dipping if they did.
I mentioned that I thought "the price was just right."

Haha yep, I say this for every game I buy which is on sale. And if I get Tetris Axis (I probably will) I'll be saying the same.

Bought Witch and Hero. Simple game, short levels, pretty ok for short burst. Not much else to do from what i've played.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Yep. Really enjoying it. The art style is simple but charming. Plays like Meat Boy. Starts off relatively easy but gets hard quite quickly. So far, I'd give it at least 7/10.

Developer: Silverball
Uh, is that the same Silverball that was previously Fuse Games? :/
Isn't it that during the first (I believe) 2 weeks after release, game registrations give a bonus 10 Club Nintendo points?

I picked it up and it is in fact quite good!
I got Crimson Shroud. It's unique and well written. I haven't gotten far, but from what I've heard it isn't a very long game. That said, I'd say treat them in a similar manner to that of the Double Fine downloadable games. All of them have some sort of traditional aspect to them, but they also have something that is unique and not commonly seen in many other games.
I can't figure out the swing mechanic. I can't seem to jump high enough.
Developer of Metroid Prime Pinball and Pinball Pulse? Awesome, will buy.
