Easy mode is way easy but has a fun gimmick while Hard is not Cave shooters hard as usual but it's pretty tough. Has leaderboards and you can actually download replays from other players as well.

So annoying that Club Nintendo Europe don't offer download codes for games on our catalogue. Got so many stars (equivalent of coins) sitting there that I could probably buy a few games. As it is my best option is Wii Points.

Does anyone know a rough exchange rate between stars and coins across the continents?

Has Lego City Undercover officially been announced to be downloadable from the eshop? If so, I have to include that in the OT :)

So I just got a 3DS XL (20 hours used)...no games (I have Pilotwings and Mario Kart but they're 200 miles away) so eShop time, right? So eventually I got my netbook to act as a hotspot and well, can't connect to the eShop. Web browser works.

I'm guessing the eShop needs special ports forwarded? Looks like I'll be hauling the netbook to work then (forwarding ports is a brick wall with the IT services on my home connection).

5 stars=1 coin but depends on how you count post play and intend to buy surveys. Those are more guaranteed on the US system so some would say 6-7 stars to 1 coin is bit fairer. Then again the US system has different expiration (at the very least its equal to Europe but could be 12 months more) and possibly more persistent value erosion.

There's been a message scrolling on top of the eShop saying LEGO City Undercover will be available for download at midnight on the 18th(?) for weeks now.

That is what the 2 posts above say, so yes.

In NA you get 50 coins per Wii (U?) game, and a few less for DS/3DS. We Europeans get 200 for 3ds and 250 for wii u, so going by wii u, it's a 1coin:5star ratio. But NA people get to do a bunch of things to earn extra coins, like registering intention to buy (Europe had this but it doesn't seem to work anymore) and post play surveys (Both have this, 50 stars/ 10 coins supporting the 1:5 ratio).

So yes, we are getting royally screwed in comparision.
For example
Paper Mario was 1000 wii points = 4000 stars (800 coins in theory) but only cost 200 coins in the NA club nintendo/

Is Sing Party on the eShop? Because if that's on there, I think we can safely say every Nintendo-backed game will be on the eShop.

Also, Game and Wario is going to be cheaper on the Japanese eShop than at retail, so hopefully this becomes a trendsetter.

Don't you need a mic for Sing Party? I don't think it would be on eShop.

It's on the eShop, with the warning that you need the mic to play it. It's one of the bigger downloads on the eShop, as it's about 12 gigs.

It should be clear at this point that if Nintendo publishes it, it gets a digital release.

I'm gonna do a big LTTP thread for La~Mulana as soon as it hits Steam.
I don't know why I neglected to buy it for so long, probably because I'm no longer interested in WiiWare, but now I'm so glad I did.

See, my X360 is a Live Arcade/Cave shmups machine, I have tons and tons of Live Arcade games.
My PS3 is also full of great PSN titles. Plenty of indies on my PC.
Wiiware not as much, I own less than 15 games for it (tons of VC games tho).
I like Cav Story and I can't wait for Cave Story+ on 3DS EUR, but this is on a whole other planet.

Well, La~Mulana is without a doubt high up in my top10 DD games of this generation and just a fantastic games all around. I know the term gets thrown around a lot but it really reminds of Dark Souls mechanics applied to a 2 platform/exploration game. It's incredibly charming, looks cool, it's 480p and you can mantain a proper 4:3 aspect ratio when played on a widescreen tv, although I have to say the game looks very good even squashed to fill all of the screen on my 720p Panny plasma (but I'm an aspect ratio taliban so I play in 4:3 mode).
For 1000 points it's a steal and filled with content even if missing that tiny bit of special "post-game" DLC (Hell Temple), it usually costs $15 for PC on Desura/Playism and now you can easily get Nintendo points for cheaper than 1000 points = $10. I played it with both a CC Pro and then a Wii Remoto solo and I have to say to my surprise that the latter was even better and I love cute gimmicks like using the Wii Remote's speaker.
So yeah, do yourself a favour and buy the game!
Click to expand...

Yeah I wanna play La Mulana super bad, hope it gets released on another system, but if not I'll get it on Wii soon enough

Nigoro said that besides PC and Wiiware it's not going to happen or at least they have no plans yet.
They might do an update for WiiU later down the road and maybe 3DS but it's a far away at the moment.
Look, I share your sentiment on Wiiware, but the game plays fantastic on the Wii, playing on the remote is perfect, it's way cheaper than on PC and it's out right now.
You should go for it, either PC (game has passed greenlit so it's soon to appear on Steam) or Wiiware, just do it now because the game is incredible, looks very good on my plasma HDTV, plays perfect with a Wii remote (even better than with CC Pro imo), it's challenging and incredibly addictive... what more do you want? :)

Just made a thread but it quickly got forgotten...

Clash of the Elementalists for DSiWare for 500 points.

Just announced by Teyon for NA and EU seemingly, but developed and already out in JP by Amzy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD74CvbAhWE

http://www.teyon.com/games/clash-of-elementalists/

http://www.amzy.co.jp/boe/movie.html

Again noting Teyon didn't develop it, so don't judge it based on them.

As for the footage, looks like Custom Robo and Virtual On (that's what it looks like to me), only with people instead of robots, and it's only 500 points, if anyone's played it in JP, impressions please!

Hope it's as good as it looks, looks fun and with a great influence behind it! Please be good. :(

Looks a lot like the Wiiware game Overturn. Same developer?

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Just a heads up:

Chasing Aurora, a very moody and charming Micro Machines clone (in its single-player mode, that is) just got an update. It stabilizes game's framerate and adds some other nice playability improvements (better gate visibility). To all MicroMachines fans and people who love skill-based score-attack games - Chasing Aurora gets my highest recommendations (along with zen pinball and NAN from the same category).
