My physical collection after some decades has a lot of excess filler, though. With the eShop card deals at Best Buy over the past month and the sheer convenience of having games already on the system (3DS mainly but also Wii U), been really evaluating just what games I still want in physical form. With the 10% back for deluxe purchases on Wii U + the 20% card discount at Best Buy, it's already a 30% off for games on Wii U and 20% off for games on 3DS, so the lack of sales on 1st party retail software is mooted somewhat. That just leaves what games would make sense to always have on the system (e.g. Mario Kart, Layton for the daily puzzles, Animal Crossing), which ones would only have a short lifespan to need available for the system to stay physical, and which ones I just have to have physical copies of for collection purposes.
Will I at least get the 60 coins from Club Nintendo for the purchase?
Chibi Robo is confirmed to be $10 on the official website for the game. I can't wait!!
Megaman X2 today in America
Strange that it's on the European website, with a "TBD" release date... it's quite rare for a VC to get on the website without a proper release date, as they always add them a few days before release.
Pretty sure we won't get it this week, though.
By the way, there's something REALLY odd. Why is the EU website saying Mario Tennis on the 3DS VC is the N64 version? Isn't it supposed to be the GameBoy Color version? I mean, the screenshots from the press server clearly are from the GBC game, and besides, there's no N64 game on the 3DS.
Still waiting for ALTTP (Wanna replay it before diving into ALBW, I think it'd hurt my enjoyment of ALTTP if I did it the other way), and the lack of SMB3 is ridiculous at this point, but MX2 is nothing to scoff at.
If you linked your eShop account to your Club Nintendo account prior to the puchase, the registration survey should show up automatically. If you did not link your eShop account to your Club Nintendo account prior to the purchase, link them, and then call Nintendo support about retroactively enabling the registration survey for your account. After filling out the registration survey, the CN coins will be added, yes.

MMX2 is nice but it's another title NA should have gotten sooner. I'm not purchasing anything else off the eShop until SMB 3 or LTTP are released. Not going to reward NOA's idiotic trickle down release tactics.
Edit: Didn't someone ask Capcom about MMX2 recently and they said Nintendo has a strict release schedule for VC games they have no choice but to abide with?

Do you think the game was sold out or do they never had the games to begin with?

That reminds me, would chart-track also combine Mario Tennis N64 and GBC sales (they're both called Mario Tennis, that is enough)?
You know what this means. Buying Probotector on the Wii shop qualifies you for an "upgrade" to Contra on the Wii U shop.

Okay, good, yeah I already have it linked. Thanks.
Edit: Hmmm I went to the CN website and it's not showing it. :/ it's showing other Wii-U related stuff on the to-do list, so I know they're linked.
I can only imagine that it was sold out, since all the places I went to had plenty of Wii U games, especially Toys R Us. It was just so crazy that NOWHERE had it.
Actually, they didn't reuse the info, they just updated the existing page... for the N64 game, ha ha.
By the way, finally got to buy Hakuoki : Memories of the Shinsengumi. Hope to try it out this evening
I'm happier with this than either SMB3 or ALTTP. Konami needs to hurry up with the Turbografx though.
Some of my favorite beat em up games. I played the arcade versions mostly, picked it up for PC and haven't played as much as I've wanted to, but they're great games, especially if you can find people to play with. There are command moves (Down, up attack; down, forward,attack; etc), loot, multiple paths, multiple character classes. Good stuff if you like side scrolling beat em ups.
13000 blocks to be specific. Well worth it though!
Sounds like a great pick up. My wife and I are always on the look out for good co op games.
No press release on Nintendo's site, but NintendoLife has today's update up.
Like the hat?

Still no Mario 3 makes me laugh.

So, basically, this week is last week, plus the Bravely Default demo and Mega Man X2...

You should go tweet this 185 times.
X and classic aren't really all that alike. I mean there's 4 Marios and 2 Zeldas on Wii U VC already, does that mean Super Punch Out was a better release over them last week in your opinion? Aren't you quite tired of Mario after 4 games now?
In no way, shape or form can an update containing MMX2 and a Bravely Default demo be called lame.

it would be nice if they were putting out the missing titles like X3, MM6, MM7, or Rockman & Forte. Still if I was throwing money away on stuff I already owned X2 would be at the top of the list.

Well no smb 3 but at least mega man x2 is up. Wonder why NA isn't getting smb 3 yet.

I agree with you 185%.

I could have sworn Mario Tennis was released last week. Why is it in this update?
I'd rather have this than Link to the Past or Super Mario Bros. 3, really. I've played those other two to death but I've only finished Mega Man X 2 like once.
It's pretty cool. Definitely get it if you have someone to play it with and maybe get it if you don't.
Super Punch-Out! and Mario Tennis came out last week.

Found an old wii points card with 2000 points. They don't work with the eshop, do they? If not, I could give it away, someone interested? Hope it's still valid...
You can use it on the Wii Shopping Channel, buy some VC games and then pay the extra $1 or $1.50 to have the game on Wii U.
Or you can also give it to me if it's EUR lol
They only work on the Wii shop and DSi shop, but I'd try it it anyway, since I'm not 100% sure. If it's an European code, I'd be happy to take it, if it doesn't work. Better yet, give them to Tenki.
Nope, they don't. NA? If so, you should pass it to me!
