Make sure you don't "delete" your NNID. Because "deleting" your NNID ..."deletes" it. Some people don't understand words and then come the tears when they realize "deleting" their NNID "deleted" their NNID.

Just format.

Thanks - you just saved me some tears there!

 

[TheMoon]

Oh boy. But I think they are very very explicit what it does during the process, iirc.

Yeah actually you're correct - they do warn you when I tried it. Thanks for your help anyway.

At what time does the eShop update in NA? Really excited about those Street Fighter releases.

It updates at noon eastern. But I don't think the Street Fighter releases are announced for the US.

If I were to get the 3 Pokemon games digital from Best Buy would I still get my Nintendo coins? They are 20% off.

Yep. Using codes purchased from retailers counts. The only time it doesn't count is when you use a code earned from My Nintendo rewards.

It still could very well happen. We'll know tomorrow at 9 AMish EST.

Yep. Using codes purchased from retailers counts. The only time it doesn't count is when you use a code earned from My Nintendo rewards.

Just want to clarify--when you use a code earned from MyN, you don't get coins. But if you use a discount coupon from MyN, you do.

 

[Adam Prime]

Just downloaded the Star Fox Zero demo, it was a lot of fun! I'm watching the anime now with my kids, they're really into this. Why doesn't Nintendo do more of these??

I'll pick up the game now when it's on sale. The demo was fun!

Okay. I thought this was the thread containing all announcements. Got it.
There doesn't seem to be a singular grouping/announcement page for all of the releases for tomorrow, you have to use the site and filter for VC games.

Of course.

NA eShop PR comes out the day of the update (Thursdays) in the (local) morning.

The same person I'm looking for to get Steel Diver on the eShop. :/

 

[Hilarion]

Who do I have to talk to to get The Last Story on VC?

XSeed.

 

[TheMoon]

XSeed.

Nintendo.

I don't see how XSEED would have digital distribution included in their publishing contract.

 

[Ondore]

Wait, wasn't XSEED the publisher on Pandora's Tower before?

 

[Javier]

Wait, wasn't XSEED the publisher on Pandora's Tower before?

They were in the original Wii release in America, but Nintendo has always owned the IP which is why they're listed as the publisher in the digital eShop release. Same applies to The Last Story.

 

[@MUWANdo]

Okay, so, this is a personal and somewhat complex web of nonsense involving a highly unstable individual I was friends and briefly FWBs with, but I can only assume there will be a never-ending clusterfuck on gaf now until the end of time, which inevitably involves you guys and gals on the mod team in some way, so I'm an open book here. The woman in question ended up being completely psychotic and held a grudge against me after a bizarre love triangle situation developed a few years ago between me, her, and another girl (the other girl I ended up in a long-term relationship with shortly thereafter). This NOLA story she apparently just put up on social media is a delusion of a deeply disturbed person who had a total psychological breakdown as a result of me and the other girl getting together, because she (phew, yeah...) became obsessively infatuated with the other girl (she's bi) on sight when the three of us met up. I wanted to just stay friends with the girl making the accusation and made it super super clear ahead of time that me and the other girl were interested in each other romantically and that could play out as such when we met up. Supposedly this was not a problem for her from accusation, but in reality she uhhh wanted me to die painfully after seeing me and the other girl interact. Plus she became infatuated with the other girl simultaneously to this (she's bi), which created the aforementioned bizarre love triangle that ended up causing her to implode and have an apparently very intense and long-lasting grudge. The whole story about how that love triangle thing played out is, frankly, nuts and scary, and involves this girl bringing us to a compound of dangerous scientology spinoff cultists on that same trip, who roofied us, attempted to recruit/scam me and attempted to abduct/rape the girl I ended up dating, in what was a fucking scary situation that resulted in me and the other girl and the rest of my friend circle never speaking to this girl from the accusation again.

It depends on the deal for that particular game. I seem to recall XSEED saying they weren't part of making the call to sell Pandora's Tower on the Wii U eShop.

NA:

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS

- Kirby: Planet Robobot – Another year older, another year … pinker? What better way to celebrate Kirby’s birthday than with a free demo of his new sci-fi adventure, Kirby: Planet Robobot for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, alongside other great Kirby games.

Wii Retail on Wii U

- Kirby’s Epic Yarn – When Kirby incurs the anger of a sorcerer, he is transported to a world made completely of cloth and yarn. In this Wii classic, guide Kirby through uniquely crafted levels in Patch Land as he takes on a variety of forms and transforming into powerful vehicles. A second player can also aid in the adventure by playing as the adorably named Prince Fluff (additional accessories required for multiplayer mode; sold separately).

Virtual Console on Wii U

- Kirby Mass Attack – Gather a mob of Kirby characters and then lead them through this crazy Game Boy Advance adventure in which nothing can stand in your way. Send Kirbys swarming over enemies, fling them into the air to hit flying floes and even use them to take on challenges of strength. Don’t forget to collect medals hidden throughout various stages to unlock mini-games.

Virtual Console on Nintendo 3DS

- Kirby’s Dream Course – Get ready for one of the most surprising Kirby games imaginable! In this fun Super NES golf game – yes, it’s a Kirby golf game – control the force and angle of your shot and sink Kirby for a hole-in-one. Play through various stages and acquire classic power-ups to get the lowest score possible. (In this game, a low score is a GOOD thing.)

At least NOE gives all indies full coverage in their PR. Heck, they are pretty happy to help promote you. (ZaciSa EU got a nice banner spot for launch and a few times showed up here and there on front page for sales)

 

[nicoga3000]

So I bought DKC on my N3DS, and I have got to say...It feels like the premier way to play that game. Controls are tight and responsive, visuals are great, AND I can rock this game in my pocket for quick bursts.

On the flip side, I bought Sonic 1 and, while I love the visuals and such, I can't stand being able to spin dash. It just feels out of place. The worst part is, I can't NOT use it because it's a tool at my disposal and I have to take advantage of that fact.

Are any of the other Sonic VC games worth grabbing?

Oh, and has anyone played Sadame? I was reading that it's an ARPG with loot which got me super interested.

Yeah, I see it often, I'm just perplexed here as this is a YUZO KOSHIRO game.

You can disable the spindash from the main menu, I believe. I can't comment on any of the other Sonic VC games, but 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is an excellent port as well.

Gotta Protecotrs looks like fun. Reminds me a bit of a musou in terms of the whole "fighting off hordes and protect your base". I may pick that up. I'll probably grab Kirby's Dream Course too because that game is great. And it's wonderfully convenient that Sadame is on sale after I was literally just looking into it. Guess I'll grab that, too!

 

[GulAtiCa]

Hmm, is Shift DX coming to NA? Or did it already release.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Kirby Dream Course is fun. But ...

 

[TheMoon]

Just bought 3Souls. this better be good

 

[GulAtiCa]

Bought 3Souls too, looking forward to trying it.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Grabbed Gotta Protectors as well because of Koshiro. And that Animal Crossing Swimming theme is great!
