Miiverse is being constantly updated. Since it's web based you don't need to update the Wii U.

They've even added developer communities and direct feedback from Nintendo.

Oh yea that's true. Maybe the Vidyo thread that was posted yesterday is related to the new features they're mentioning.

Not only Fire Emblem seems unstoppable, but finally we're seeing a retail third party title entering the current DD charts, and a niche one: Etrian Odyssey IV! Do someone remember how it debuted on current charts last week? Was it higher or lower? And can someone post both 3DS and Wii U All-Time charts, please?

Alright, some comments. Fire Emblem's rocking the charts as usual, but Pokemon Dream Radar is just printing money for Nintendo. It has to have gone well over 1 million downloads worldwide at this point. Gunman Clive's steady sales funds beril's next game, so happy for him. That and Bird Mania show that there's a sizeable market for $2-$3 games on the eShop. Metal Torrent's still way down there even with Club Nintendo promotion, and Etrian Odyssey IV seems like it'll get over 100,000 in sales over here in the US (retail + download).

A bit disappointing to see Bit Trip Runner 2 below Mighty Switch Force (even though it's on sale), I thought it might have been a bit more popular. Frozenbyte's pretty much guaranteed to put out Splot on the Wii U, considering how much they praised Trine 2's performance and how much they like the eShop. I don't know what WayForward has next for the Wii U, but I'm willing to bet they'll port over a few of their XBLA/PSN games. Looking forward to Toki Tori 2 this month and possibly Cloudberry Kingdom; hoping we get Zen Pinball 2 one day. Also Chasing Aurora has completely left the scene sales scene, but Broken Rules has said their next game will come to the eShop. It was a bit too out there to really attract an audience.

It's great to see Gunman Clive flying high. The low price is a factor because it has no doubt attracted people intrigued enough to splash such a small amount of cash, but it is a fun and challenging little game.

There's one big reason: they want to charge as much as they can possibly get away with, and to raise the price ceiling wherever possible. Doesn't mean they won't discount it later, but if you think they're gonna lower their prices before launch you're kidding yourself.

Not even a console thing either, as a lot of companies have terrible Steam pricing; speaking as someone who lives in Australia where most major publishers charge the same as the ridiculously high retail prices. The only saving grace there is the frequency of Steam sales.

I repeat, do we have an updated All-Time 3DS only US eShop chart? Like the one posted last week that generated the thread about FE digital sales?

F-Zero is now topping the Wii U all time US chart. Checked last night. :)

There wouldn't be an excuse for them once they implement that account system. It's never really been possible before with their hardware, so I wouldn't count them out if they get the chance. Maybe I'm overly optimistic.
Click to expand...
Nintendo still customizes and rigorously tests each release for each hardware though, I think best case maybe there'll be a $1-2 fee like with updating Wii VC to native Wii U versions.

Is Nintendo life a good place for Nintendo reviews?

I just always felt like they give generally favorable reviews for most games because of the whole Nintendo bias, but I'm just speculating from some of the scores I've seen there

Well they were the only place to get reviews for most WiiWare stuff when they were WiiWare-world. I haven't been to the Site in a while, but I generally agreed with their reviews then.

Just went and read their MSFHD review. Ignoring the high score, the review itself doesn't do a good enough job explaining the game. They mention jumping and shooting, but don't do enough to warn readers that this isn't an action platformer.

They're about the only place that consistently reviews about all eShop download games. Don't always agree with the score, but the text of the review usually does a good job answering the questions I need to know about the game before buying. I like them, but as with any review site, don't take their word as gospel.

I like NLife's reviews. Their scores are pretty much the same I give to the games I play, so I usually read their reviews.

Kersploosh is a good little game for just a few £/$. Won't keep you going for hours but the urge to beat your fastest time on the ten wells and a variety of unlockable objects to use gives it that 'one more go' draw.

So, I guess Nintendo decided to put literally everything possible on the eShop this week. Shin'en announced that Nano Assault EX will be available on March 7, along with Kersploosh! from Poisoft and ATV Wild Ride 3D from Renegade Kid. I wonder if the developers have control over their release dates now in the US?
Click to expand...

Not only are they competing against each other, but now they're competing against $20 RE Mercenaries, too. It never rains but it pours, eh?

Thanks for the info. I might jump in once I finish up on a few others.

While the US is finally getting Kersploosh a.k.a. Hyu Stone (one of the first eShop exclusive games in Japan) this week, here's the latest game from its developer (Poisoft): Mansion Percussion. Any chance that the US sees this one in the next couple of years?

I checked Miiverse last night and there are some posts from Japanese people in the F-Zero European community saying they're jealous we got it, I guess they're oblivious to the fact that we'd rather have Fire Emblem or Mother 2, but it's interesting nevertheless.

I really hope the 15€ price for Nano Assault EX translates into a reasonable Swiss price. Otherwise I'm waiting for a price-drop.

Also I totally forgot that Miiverse was coming to 3DS. Really hope it's well implemented.

They're not that biased really, the same company runs xbox and ps3 sites (Pushsquare and Purexbox respectively) and the majority of the reviewers work for more than one of the sites.

Pretty surprised to see Switch Force ahead of Runner 2. I personally think Runner 2 is a classic and should be bought by every Wii U owner especially since there is a lack of software out right now. It is well worth $15 people so jump on it!
