It's also supposed to be very, very good. It's currently gaining a lot of word of mouth.
I'd be up for replaying Wario Land: Shake it when it hits the US. I think I beat it, but didn't 100% it (probably because they took the ONE thing I disliked about Wario Land 4, the "HOLY CRAP YOU PRESSED THE SWITCH NOW RUSH BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE STAGE AGAIN OH BTW THERE'S SOME STUFF YOU CAN ONLY COLLECT DURING THIS PART WHILE UNDER THE TIME LIMIT" thing & put it in that).

Yeah, I knew that. I got my 10 coins for buying Gunstar Heroes.
The part I was complaining about was that 4.99 games don't count toward points.

Am I missing something? The last two bonuses are not available for US. I only have the eShop and the Miiverse. I don't any missions for signing into MyNintendo or checking out the official Nintendo website. I wonder if those are only for Europe?

I think they're secret/hidden. You should get the points if you do them anyway, check your balance before and after

No, they are worldwide. They just don't show as missions. Consider them secret missions. Doing the task will still get you the coins, as you'll see in your point history.
For the My Nintendo one, just look for a coin next to your Mii and click it.

I downloaded Gunstar heroes when I was going to bed and don't remember turning off the system and putting it on the floor.
The game icon is showing up where my launcher badge for Activity log was and I don't know where the launcher went. Very strange.

Does it have to be done from the Miitomo App? Or the 3DS/WiiU ?
I was trying to do it from the PC since I don't have any of the above with me at work.

I did all of them from the PC except for the signing in to eShop, which needs a 3DS/U
The new gold coin thing, will likely have me adjusting some future game prices. Like I have a $9.99 game coming in a few months. Will essentially bump it up 1 cent to $10.00. Same with with my Fall $4.99 game to $5.00.
Hell, I have a $2.99 game I'll be submitting to Nintendo in a few weeks. Part of me thinking of upping the Gameplay and push to make it $5. Maybe.

Upping by 1ct seems reasonable. 2.01, not so much.
They should give ya 5 Gold Coins for anything under $5. It's not like the Golden Rewards are all multiples of 10.
Yeah, same thing happened to me when I downloaded Flipnote the other day. Its icon replaced the Animal Crossing badge I had for the Mii Plaza and I had to manually place it again.

It happened to me twice so far actually, both times with a different Activity Log launcher badge, in the same space. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Sounds nice. That control issue was pretty bad.

This wasn't clear for me. I was clicking on the coin next to the Mii in the top right corner. It's actually the coin that is lying on the ground next to your Mii and the radio.
So I got all of my weekly bonus. Thanks! Off to download Twilight Princess Picross.

FYI - my local Target has apparently abandoned the Mario vs. DK: Amiibo Challenge promo rules. They just hung the pad with tear-off codes out next to the amiibos. You might want to check your own Targets for the same. I'll try to grab some extra codes next time I'm in if they are still up.
In Canada you have to spend $7 just to get gold coins. It's fucking BS.
Nintendo just raised the price of already-released Smash DLC this month too, even with the Canadian dollar worth MORE now.

Yeah, I was kind of figuring they wouldn't be a part of it, since they wouldn't be likely to have a code at every register, and the cashiers would be likely to get confused. I guess that's why they got lazy about it.
Thanks for the heads up, and now I've got mine as well! That was really unintuitive.

For some reason I keep buying the Kemco RPGs. I have a couple on my Kindle Fire HDX as well. It's a strange sickness I tell you. Although a couple of them were somewhat enjoyable.
Thanks for the info! I wish there was a way to unlock the amiibo worlds without an amiibo, though.

So has anyone downloaded Lovely Planet? I'm curious if it actually has Wiimote controls as advertised.

I thought it wasn't released until this coming Thursday? Or is that only in certain regions?

It's definitely out now, at least in NA.

NA has these silly Tuesday releases (PSN updates Tuesday so some pubs hit up NOA for a simultaneous release on the eShop as well, NOE doesn't do that).

sucks that wii u ports take forever. i've been waiting on android assault cactus and the next penelope for so long. i could just get it on steam but want it on wii u
TheMoon

yea and it's even worse then indies announce sooo early and then take years and you actually end up forgetting about them because they don't have the big publisher PR machine firing off flares every couple of months.
a bunch of those games I was excited about back when they were announced but then they took 2-3 years and better stuff came out in the mean time and they just flew by me.
I see them popping up all the time on the 3DS store and never keep interest up enough to even finish reading the press release.
Can you recommend any okay ones?

Next week in Japan is Final Fantasy IV Advance and Pokemon Ranger.
So the Canadian prices were raised too?
Here on Brazil, the prices for everything DLC/microtransaction-related on Nintendo games (Badge Arcade plays, Pokémon Shuffle jewels, Smash DLC, Fire Emblem Awakening/Fates DLC, etc) raised around 100% or even more since March 31 - same day My Nintendo launched. Coincidence? Don't think so.
Two examples: Badge Arcade raised from BRL 1.99 to 3.99. And the Bayonetta + Umbra Clock Tower DLC pack raised from BRL 9.99 to 23.79.
It's noteworthy this happened only with Nintendo games. Third-party games with DLC stayed with the same prices as before.
Here's Circle/Flyhigh's next 3DS game: a runner with a polarity-switching gimmick called Polara, originally released for smartphones and recently released by Flyhigh for Vita: http://www.4gamer.net/games/135/G013574/20160406025/

Hi all,
I have a question regarding buying a game on Wii's Virtual Console. Right before the US launch of Wii U I went and purchased, what I thought, would be the rest of the Virtual Console games I wanted on Wii. Then, when the Wii U launched, I of course moved all my data and whatnot over to that console. Then as my account-owned Virtual Console games were put up in the eShop I rebought 'em on Wii U at the discount.
Well, apparently I want one last Super Nintendo title. Can I simply purchase this on my original Wii and have the game later appear as a discount in the eShop on Wii U or has transferring my data from Wii to Wii U mean that I must now boot my Wii U in Wii mode and buy the game there? Basically I'd like to have the game on as many consoles and places as I can (Wii, Wii mode for Wii U, and Wii U). Is this possible? I'd like to make sure since I have no idea where to buy and add additional Wii Points, ya know?
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

You would need to buy the game in Wii mode on the Wii U and it will immediately be discounted in the Wii U EShop.
In order to get more points on the Wii Shop you can buy them directly in the shop with a CC, the only catch is you have to buy set amounts of points.
You will not be able to have it both in Wii mode and the original Wii without either hacking or buying it twice.

Thanks for your thoughts, foltzie1.
So in other words I should just forget my original Wii exists for this purpose, boot the Wii U in Wii mode, buy 1,000 Wii Points via a credit card, buy the VC SNES game, re-boot the Wii U and the eShop and buy the VC SNES game at a discount there. I'll have the game in both Wii and Wii U mode and all will be done with no hope outside of teh haxorz to get the game on the original Wii. This is correct?
Hmm. Makes me wonder why I'm even going to all the trouble instead of just outright buying it on the eShop but if I did that I guess it'd never be tied to my original Wii account. Hmm.

Correct
If it is worth the hassle is up to you, but since the original Wii didnt have any sort of account infrastructure (game sales are tied to the Wii itself), so you cannot buy on one system and DL on another.

I'm finishing up my GB VC collection and I had these in my 'looks interesting' pile:
Adventure Island
Avenging Spirit
Radar Mission
The Sword of Hope II
Would you guys recommend any of them?

Only bother with Radar Mission if you really, really, REALLY like Battleship.
Adventure island is a fun sidescroller, avenging spirit is okay but a little short, sword of hope 2 is okay but can get a little boring later on and requires grinding at the end. I haven't played radar mission so I can't comment on that one.
Have you already played kirby's dreamland 2?
Also the vc gamegear games are fun if you haven't played those.
