have yet to buy a portable external drive for the WiiU
hmm. would be hard to convert my entire collection to digital... hmm
One downfall is it's generally pretty slow to download off Nintendo's servers. I'll probably do the same, but don't expect it to be complete till Friday morning. They really should let people pre-download and then just have it unlock at midnight.
hmm... darn :/ oh well. decisions
Huh, how much is that Bubble Bobble DLC? I think I have 200-300 points and have been completely at a loss over what to do with them,
1st party retail game on sale on the eshop woah is that a first for WiiU?
Actually Mario & Sonic 2014 went on sale a couple weeks ago
I think that was the first though

So when is Shantae Pirates Curse coming? It's almost end of February you know!
I've never had it slow since launch. Downloaded the 388MB NES Remix in a matter of minutes. Rayman Legends, which came in at around 7GB took me less than an hour. Wii Fit U at 4GB took half an hour.

Shame I don't have more spare cash, as I'd totally get a $35 eShop card for $28 & actually get Yumi's Odd Odyssey instead of waiting for a sale.
Also WOAH Street Fighter 2010 hitting the 3DS VC!? Add that with the other NES games that Capcom didn't originally release on the Wii VC. Really hope they confirm that & Mighty Final Fight for the US.

Canada uses a different currency so they do not work.
If Nintendo stuck with Nintendo points they might have still worked but nobody likes Itchy and Scratchy money.
I'd best tempted to cross post to Euro cheap arse GAF but when you consider you can get a Premium system from Amazon for £190; Sonic and Mario remote are not worth £110.Got this in an email, but didn't seem quite good enough for a thread. (Especially when that thread would be "Still £150 too much")

We really need to start getting some RPGs in the US...
A huge chunk of those are PC-Engine games, so maybe we need more systems here. But it's not like Japan had our small lineup before those started releasing, so actually I have no idea. But it's annoying. Especially when our week consists of Ice Hockey. I wouldn't complain as much as if that single game was something like Secret of Mana or Super Mario Kart.
Oh, and as always, give us a damn schedule, Nintendo!

Has anyone made a thread for Weapon Shop de Omasse yet? I'm really eager to read some impressions
EDIT: I love not knowing what day of the week it is. I hope to see some impressions tomorrow, then

Did we have a date for Pocket Football in EU previously? I see it's listed for 17th April on Nintendo's website. May have been in the direct and I missed it....
Wanted it sooner than that, but it's nice to see an official date.
This week's VC Trivia:
This happened before with NES games until we hit a saturation point and they just said "fuck it" but releases of TG16 games are staggered between Wii U and 3DS as to not create overlap. I have to believe it's happening, or at least Konami does:
3DS:
Gradius
The Kung Fu
Alien Crush
R-Type
Wii U:
PC Genjin: Pithecanthropus Computerurus
Takahashi Meijin no Shin Bouken Jima
Super Star Soldier
Dr. Mario and Street Fighter 2010 marks 2 previously unreleased NES VC games in one week!
And it looks like R-type is the US version which contains both R-type I and R-type II. Assuming they do the same for Wii U how will you upgrade?

Ice Hockey is apparently coming out in North America tomorrow. I mean, it's definitely one of my favorite NES titles, but one game a week is just embarrassing. I envy my Japanese brothers.
For VC? No downside, but if the cost of getting licenses and what-not exceeds what they think they can get then they won't release it. Otherwise it's more a matter of churning through backlog and whatever other technical issues come up.

They could release them in group compilations and charge more?
If someone could just individually buy the 2 or 3 games they were interested in from an 8-game compilation, that's less than if they bought the 8-game compilation.
Well thats true and all but when Japan keeps getting loads of games while NA and Europe gets 1 game at a time you have to wonder what are they thinking when more people have WiiUs in NA then Japan.

Last weekend I used a $5 credit I earned with my DDP (deluxe digital promotion that is, not by playing DoDonPachi, *rimshot* ) and used it to buy Super C, which, although being a big Contra fan, I still hadn't played. Really enjoying it so far, feels just like the first game but maybe tougher, looking forward to trying co-op with someone.
Then I added $8 more to my wallet and also treated myself to Mystical Ninja, a series I've barely scraped the surface of. Very fun game so far, love the combo of comical Japanese feudal setting and non stop enemies. Still looking for the Gradius minigame. Konami has such a rich history of IPs, too bad they don't capitalize on them anymore.
I've said it before, I'd give a week's pay just to know what on earth is said and goes on in an office at NOA while weekly VC releases are decided and the person there who is responsible for this garbage. We're just two months away from the Wii U VC's one year mark with NA the only region still without SMB 3 and I'm seriously expected to be excited and all ready to support GBA launch in April? Nope.

Consider that current VC support is nearly 100% Japanese publishers and that the represented systems have far more Japanese releases than North American ones it's pretty obvious. Why Konami is dragging on TG16 support in the West and why Square-Enix hasn't released a damn thing in the West is cause for wonder but the overall release schedule disparity should not be surprising as no matter what Japan will always have much more. Only way to fix that is with a time machine.

Ice Hockey on VC is their big Winter Olympics tie-in! This is AAA Nintendo marketing going on here.
I'm anticipating those TG16 games. I've never played Bonk much and would gladly re-buy Adventure Island and Super Star Soldier. The GBA games sound good too, provided we get the Namco stuff sooner rather than later.
Why can't they just release a bunch at a time? Personally, I'd rather have all my choices out in a reasonable amount of time than how things are now. Even if that meant, in the end, weeks without anything new VC-wise, I don't care.
