Yes, but it's all or nothing. You can't move specific games.

You can copy SD contents to a PC and then to another (presumably larger) SD without losing anything, but you can't combine contents from two cards. So if you did back up, reformat, and reuse your first card, you'd effectively end up in a situation where you effectively had two un-combinable SD's worth of dataone real, one virtual.
Ninja Gaiden rocks!
Great controls (unlike Super Mario Bros. 1), super quick pacing and awesome music. The cutscenes, save for a few weird looking scenes, e.g., Ryu looking over his back, looked great and the story was surprisingly interesting. I love how even though you can die so easily, the enemies perish even quicker, so you can speed through the stages if you know what you are doing.
After struggling so much with the
boss I finally managed to beat the game. I thought about using save states to get the attack patterns down but in the end decided against it and beat the game completely without ''cheating''. Thank god 6-3 isn't nearly as hard as 6-2, so I could play through it with one life and stock up on ''spiritual points''. When I reached the boss I simply spammed the item attack. Kind of cheap but those who played NG know that the endgame isn't really fair. I must say that the
boss was kind of disappointingly easy (beat it on my second try after I lucked out and picked up the right item).
bosses gave me so much more trouble.
I checked and JAP still doesn't have the sequels up on the eShop, which makes me worry we will have to wait a long time before they come out in the West. I have a Wii but want portability.

Code of Princess just received a USK rating. This means it's coming to Europe ( FINALLY!!!). I'm putting this here because the publisher listed is Agatsuma Entertainment. Given they were searching for an European publisher, and given I...don't think they'd have searched for it if they had an European presence, this seems like it'll be an only DD game in Europe.
Considering the language listed is "English", this seems like Agatsuma will publish the eShop version of the game as localised by Atlus.

Yeah, I've deleted Miracle Mask and saved the data, but I haven't attempted to screw around with recombining it with the rest of my data (I know this is technically possible). I'd rather not take the risk.
well, it's better than nothing. at least I hope in a reduced price and not a 40 euros, no japanese dub, eshop game.
AMAZING news!
Witch's Cat = Rabi Laby Gaiden???
Now we just need Rabi Laby 3D and that Metroidvania-looking thing made by the same developers, and we're all good!

You shut your whore mouth
It felt strange to me at first too, but after a while it just seems to melt into your hands, it has become my favourite traditional controller by far (never was that keen on the 360 one). I curse Nintendo for not allowing it to be used with Wii/Virtual Console stuff.
Mario's momentum is really weird and sometimes he will greatly accelerate for no reason, not to mention how he stops completely if he comes into contact with a brick midair.
Now I'm really hesitant about downloading The Lost Levels since Mario's physics are, supposedly, the same and the level design looks like a sadistic room hack. I hope SMB3's Mario handles better.
25-30 Max and day one.
March 1 for PC version. I assume its same for WiiU.
SMB1 definitely controls weird, it's something to get used to. I think SMB3's controls are much better though.
That's good to hear.
Sadface. Thanks mate.
Can't you just rename the folder on your computer?
I thought you cannot rename the 3DS file, according to the manual.
It should be fine if you just change the name back when you put the folder back on the memory card. Alternatively you could copy the second 3DS folder to a different directory on your computer. Try making a temporary new folder on your desktop and putting the files from one of the SD cards in there for example.
Yup. I am an idiot. Thanks for the help!

Was doing some holiday cleanup around the house. Found my son's DSLite and DSi, which he no longer uses. The DSi has 1500 points in shop credit - I bought him a 2000 point card years ago, and there is a Dragon Quest (mini?) game on it which ate up 500 points.
I don't really know the system at all (I just got myself a 3DSXL)... any recommended games I should buy with the 1500 points? There was no virtual console with the DSi was there? I believe it started with the 3DS. Navigating the shop on the DSi is slow and tedious, so post your favourites so I can use up the balance.

Do you have more information on this?
Pictobits and Bird&Beans are one of my favourite games on it.
The saves are stored in .sav files. It should be possible to backup only the saves and copy them back after redownloading the games, but I don't know anyone who tried this. Also, each game is stored in a folder using a cryptic name and it's not that easy to identify them.

Am I an idiot and completely missing it, or is there no way to remap buttons for the 3DS virtual console games? I don't like the default mapping for Lost Levels... it just feels wrong.

You're SOL
Sadly, there's no remapping for NES games. You can use X instead of B, though.Am I an idiot and completely missing it, or is there no way to remap buttons for the 3DS virtual console games? I don't like the default mapping for Lost Levels... it just feels wrong.
On the other hand, Game Gear games lets you remap all the buttons, except the unused select and start, however you like. There's even rapid fire available. Nintendo's emulation really is pathetic in comparison.
Can't say I'm a fan of 10 Second Run, but it's so cheap it doesn't really sting.
Spotto! is amazing though!

Awesome. Swords and Soldiers was awesome. I hope more WiiWare games get this treatment. World of Goo, MotoHeroez, La Mulana etc all need eShop releases--they would fair much better than on Wiiware.

Ah cool, I was hoping it was something like 'just needs some time to get use to it'.
I've got Sonic Racing now so I'll probably really dig in and play it with that, Nintendo needs to get working on Wii U VC quicker. >_<
I would recommend picking up Rabi Laby 2 for 200 points, either Mr. Driller: Drill Til You Drop or Art Style: Box Life for 500 points, and either Go! Go! Kokopolo or Mighty Flip Champs! for 800 points.
DSiware is pretty great if you like puzzle games and platformers (but not so great for other types of games).
Great to hear that this is confirmed. I remember somebody said that Circle Entertainment already had Swords and Soldiers 3D listed on their website, even though they hadn't announced it yet.

Ended up getting mighty flip champs!, birds and beans, and pictobits for a nice even 1500.

Wait until you get the swimming screen...
Not only is it not high on their priority list
it appears to be completely absent from it
I rather buy a retail version, but this is better than nothing. But I wanted the bonus book and CD like in the USA version

This game was so damn good. Pains me to think it will be stuck on Wiiware forever when better services are out for them to reach fans. I would pay a pretty nice penny for a 3DS or Wii U eShop version.

I got that when I was going through my epic redownloading of all my VC/WiiWare games to my WiiU 3 times. Had never seen it before and my mind was blown.
Never done the fireball one though.
Favorite Nintendo downloading screen is the DSi one, loved the Super Mario Advance Mario Sprites filling up the download box.
Isn't it available on App Store?
