Did I just hear Wii downloadable games on Wii U eShop!? Super Mario Galaxy 2, Punch-Out, & Metroid Prime Trilogy!
Edit: SMG2 available this afternoon, Punch-Out next week, & MP Trilogy on the 28th, and each game will be 1/2 off for a week at release!!
Edit 2: THERE, AMERICA HAS A CROSS-BUY TITLE FOR WII U & 3DS. Mario Vs. DK: Tipping Stars.

HOLY SHIT. NOA HAS IMPROVED
Also, Wii games on the eShop! That's also an improvement for sure. One I've been hoping for for a long time, too. Pretty rad.
I was thinking the same. If it's like $50 and $25 for the first week, that feels a bit silly. Hopefully not.

If going by NOE prices it should be $10 for first week pricing.
Take back what I said about NOA improvement. new 3DS is only in XL format and it doesn't even come with an AC Adapter...wow..One step forward, two steps back

4 minutes left in the Direct. I hope we're getting an MM3D date. Otherwise I've been most pleased by MVDK and Splatoon. Was hoping for YWW and Mario Maker so I suppose those are coming a bit later in the year than originally announced (H1 for both originally I believe).

Cross buy and Wii games!! What a pleasant surprise

Welp. No mention of anything VC. lol
Bet Team Top Hat'll complain it's not in the US, even if it's only for Mario vs DK.
What was the extra media event that Nintendo mentioned?
No Yoshi news was my biggest disappointment. I was surprised to not see any of Mario Maker, either. I suppose both of those will be Summer/Fall releases now. I was pleased with Mario vs. DK and Splatoon, and the MM 3D confirmation for 2/13/14. Happy about Kirby RC coming in 2/14 still, even with the week delay. I was happy about Wii games coming to the Wii U eShop as an idea, although I don't know that there are any I'd be picking up. I like it as an idea, though. Most of the rest of the ND was focused on RPGs and Match-3 puzzlers, not really my thing. Ah well. Happy with what I did get, and psyched for more Mario Maker, YWW and Zelda info later in the year. Oh, and Elliott Quest looks rad!
Cross buy is in the US for MVDK.
The event is probably N3DS hands-on for press.

EU gets DKC Returns instead of Punch-Out. Here's their prices/deal:
Might buy SMG2 and MPT for $10, if NOA has them at those prices. :O If so, time to clean the fridge! :lol

If Punch-Out is $10 (sale price), I'm totally on board. Not to mention I look forward to seeing how cheap MP Trilogy will be considering how expensive retail copies can be.
Guessing SMG2 will be up at the normal Noon EST time.
Welp!
Those prices are absolutely perfect. They deserve praise for that.
So I was dead set on the smaller N3DS but with it not coming (screw you, NOA, seriously, screw. you.) I'm going with the MH4 bundle. Can anyone 6tell me how preinstalled software affects the system transfer process? Will MH4 just be added to my NNID/CN account upon system transfer?
I'm still a bit irked that I can't simply put in the discs I bought one console generation ago and have the same functionality.

My one concern is that now VC is competing with Wii games coming out every Thursday.
You're going to want to transfer your stuff to the new system before playing the game. Yes, MH4 will just be added to your NNID on transfer, and can be redownloaded from the 3DS eShop after transfer. Any saves on it would've been lost in the transfer, which is why you want to transfer before playing the game.
Don't know about it showing up on CN, though. Probably will not get coins for it, in any case.
Edit:
I own Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Would rebuy. It's playable with the GameCube controller, so more Off-TV FE play!
Ugh.
Sup?
Thanks. Sound like the only difference will be having to wait until after my transfer to download MH4 and then it'll be paid in full already.You're going to want to transfer your stuff to the new system before playing the game.

I'm happy that I was able to pre-order the new 3DS XL Majora's Mask edition; but not including the charger is the biggest WTF ever.
I have heard about the super mario galaxy 2 for wii u
http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/pvqEpTCeo0N6UW0Da3T1f1c2vzWP7iCd
does it require a wiimote to play?

Yes. It's literally the same game in a Wii U wrapper. Any Wii game coming out on Wii U needs the exact same controller. GamePad and Pro controller act as a Classic Controller.

Question (as I don't want to watch the US direct): Is it really crossbuy or is it like what we received in Europe in that you buy one version and get given a download code for the other (which I was really confused about but happy because I can't participate in these otherwise).
Getting given the code means you don't need an NNID linked to both devices and can actually choose to give the other system download code away to a friend.
I'm still unsure about the game as I am finding Mario & Donkey Kong: Minis on the move a bit disappointing. Then again it going back to the lemmings formula rather than Pipe Dream in tiny grids (seriously I recall the GB pipe dream having larger levels possible, although that was more an empty grid and endless, no piece deletion either) might work in its favor here.

It's cross buy in name only; but not fluid like NOE. So it shows to me that NOA still has issues.
NOA process:
1. Buy MvD receive code to enter on the other system
2. Enter code to download
Essentially it is the same thing, but NOA's process isn't the same; due to "reasons".
This prettty much makes it pointless to buy any of these games if you already have the disc, unless they support CC. I already have SMG2 so I'll pass on that, but I've been wanting Punch-Out and it's like $50+ used even for the selects version, so $10 is a great deal for that.
They specifically said in the NOA Direct that you'll get a code for the other version upon purchasing.

Yup. Pros and cons. Funny enough I actually prefer this method. You can sell/gift/trade...

That's great! Any other NOA sales? Specifically VC or Retail DD?
I THINK Super Mario 3D World is on sale. I see it listed for $44.99.
Also, for anyone that cares, SMG2 requires 1,628.8 MB to download.
I think there's going to be other stuff on sale next week & so, as they're calling it a "Throwback Sale" as they "pair classic games from past systems with their newer siblings from Wii U". I guess that'd explain Yoshi's New Island on sale for $29.99 ($10 off) & Yoshi's Island: SMA3 is listed as $5.99 ($2 off).
So I'm guessing next week with Punch-Out on Wii, the NES and maybe SNES games will be discounted then the week after, Metroid and maybe Super Metroid will be on sale to go with Prime Trilogy.

Did Metroid Prime 1/2 have standard control options on the Wii collection akin to the GCN releases?

No it didn't. Wii pointer and nunchuck only.

Just bought SMG2. Looks like "patch in pro controller support" will join my club nintendo demands.
I believe it was $10.99 but I just left the house so I can't doublecheck. It's definitely more.
I don't recall how much the pointer is used but the eShop page and people here have already stated that only games with CC support can use the gamepad or pro controller. I don't know how significant the work would be to enable CC support to a game that never had it.
