You could buy vc games on the Wii and transfer them to the Wii U.

You can use it to buy VC games in Wii mode and then pay the upgrade fees to upgrade them to Wii U games.
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge wasn't available as a digital download in Germany before, I think. It's in the "new games" section now.
I have the digital game since January last year lol
I guess Germany was the only European country to not have it?
Problems with the USK I guess, like always. Can't find any information why it wasn't released since now.
Edit: Wait, that game never got an USK rating, maybe it got it now.
What's that in MB? I'm on a slow connection here, I fear it's gonna take a while to download.

Does the Chibi Robo game coming to 3DS have normal Chibi Robo gameplay in addition to the photo stuff?
It looked like it did from the trailer, but I wanted to make sure.

I think about 233MB. I recall the conversion is blocks / 8 = MB or something, since 1MB = 8 blocks.
Nope. It's been released today, though it was mentionned in last week's PR (because NoE didn't have a PR this week).
Oh, and the odd thing about NG3 is that it doesn't have a USK rating for the Wii U version... how come? Both PS360 versions got their own rating.
Was the game at least in retail stores?
Nope, you can't sell a game in Germany without an age rating. You can buy the PEGI version in some online stores though.
Dp, sorry.
Well, that sucks. I mean, you get the game a year later.
Mario Tennis plays great with the 3DS Slidepad
Yeah it does! I'm really enjoying this so far. Plus it was so small!
Click the link. The PS360 version of the same game got their rating alright, so it doesn't make sense (especially if the Wii U version ended up on the eShop anyway). Maybe the game will show up on their website by tomorrow, since it seems to be an eShop only release. Guess we'll see soon!
Hmmm, interesting... I bought Toki Tori for £1.79 and an offer (yeah, it says "offer", not "sale" like the other games) for Toki Tori 2+ came up... the price is now £5.19... I am almost sure it was a little bit higher before that, and the list in OP also shows a higher price. I'm going to buy it now just because of that.
One thing annoys me though. This is the first time I am making a purchase on eShop (or should I say, a purchase worth mentioning - Zombi U, TT, Nano Assault Neo, and Edge just because it was cheap, not having high hopes for that one) and the process is slow as hell. Why is there no goddamn basket? I need to confirm a bunch of thing every time, add funds every time, wait through several loading screens every time. I could understand the general slowness if I could just add all the games I want to buy to a basket first, with no loading or anything, and then go through the process for all the games at once. That would at least be bearable. When it's like this, it literally discourages me from buying more games - this needs to change. You hear me, Nintendo? Change it! You're losing money because of this nonsense!

Didn't think of that, that's what I'm gonna do. I hope nobody is disappointed that they didn't get the points...
thx!Yup, the eShop really needs a cart system, on both consoles. It's such a shame really, everything about online stuff with Nintendo is just so... slow to improve. Sometimes, I wonder if they have one lone man that does everything. I remember Dan Adelman telling us, a few months ago, that Nintendo was hard at work on new features for the eShop, but since them, we've hardly seen much. And there's also that mythical 'web eShop' that was supposed to come out before the end of 2013.

Can you do with any game on the Wii VC?
No, only the ones that are also available on the Wii U eShop

The Best Buy deal was great. I bought something like $225 worth of eShop cards and I plan to get Super Mario 3D world as my first digital purchase of a title available on physical media. I have other digital titles but they were not available in physical form.
Yeah, I had the same feeling when I first starting using the eShop. Hard to believe they did not implement a cart. I mean, the cart concept has been around since the mid-90s.

I bought Attack of the Friday Monsters on sale. It is really nice. The drawn backgrounds are great. I miss the dynamic angles that prerendered backgrounds had.
The eShop beats out the PSN shop for me simply because you can watch trailers for almost any game on the eShop right there on its store page, while the PSN store doesn't even have trailers for most games and the few that it has have to be downloaded first.

Ah, OK. Thanks!
Check your product list under your account. If it doesn't show up there, you can call Nintendo support to see if there's a problem. They should be able to manually add it for you, if necessary.

Diggin' the BD demo thus far. I can easily see it being an engrossing little game. The B/D system doesn't wow you right off the bat, but it becomes obvious quite quickly how much strategy it adds to battles. I immediately changed my jobs before even the first battle. Not sure how to use the "unused ability points," but I'm guessing you can't in the demo.
Yeah I don't have the room on my 4 GB card it seems. Can you delete games from your 3DS and re-download them? I haven't touched Paper Mario or Animal Crossing in a while and I'd like to clean the fridge out.

yes dude, you can re-download.
8/16 GB cards are pretty cheap. May want to look into getting one of those, if you're finding yourself dipping your toes more into digital content than you originally expected.
You can use it on the Wii of you WiiU. Download any game you want to play and is available on the WiiU e. g. Super Mario World, Harvest Moon etc. Instead of paying full price you get discounts.
For Example: Instead of 7,99 you only pay 1,49 for Super Mario World. Rethink about giving those points away.
It's worth noting that Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and Shanghai II were both removed from the North American Wii Shop Channel this week. I believe they were removed on 12-31, as the Euro press release referenced, but it's possible they weren't removed until today's update.
Take care of your save game data. IIRC if you delete a game, you also delete the save game.
Be sure to make a back-up.
I thought we'd see the release of the Poke bank.
Nah, it wouldn't have been before the holidays... and that's for Japan only. They don't want their servers to die again
At least they have a wish list. I don't understand why Sony hasn't implemented one yet in their PSN store.
But what's the point of the wishlist? If only you could actually gift games...
Nah, don't burn yourself out on the demo, especially since the stuff you can actually transfer is pretty limited (just a bunch of items).
Yeah, but it would be even better if you could add the amount you want when you want, not just when you're buying a game. It'd be even better if you could pre-order a game... especially with the auto-download feature!
Yeah, that's really strange... wasn't it released in Germany before? Though really, it's further proof the USK needs to go away... useless.
Nah, you now get the option to backup the save data when you go and delete and DL game. You can chose not to, if you really wish to.
Yup, thanks all. Downloaded SSF4 last night! I still fucking suck at it!.
OK, most of my Wiiu home menu is filled up now.
does it work like the 3DS and as another page when most of the menu is filled up?
organizing is a REAL hassle now with that little space to move stuff around.
than take those plugs out of your ears man!
