I played a preview of Blok Drop U back in December or so, I thought it was a decent physic game. If anyone likes physic puzzle games, you should consider it, esp since you know it's only $1.99.

Never played the DSi version, any good?

Personally, I thought it was nothing special. DSi version was far too short and easy, but the extra levels might make up for that in the Wii U version. The price definitely makes it worth a punt, but I really didn't think much of it.

I guess I can link my review:

I'd be a lot less irritated if Adventure Island 2 was on Wii U VC instead of Golf which definitely isn't worth $5 and I already have as an Ambassador title anyways.

Possible 2 gamepad game coming? Gemology

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20..._eshop_and_utilising_the_systems_capabilities

"NL: Will that online play be real-time, or asynchronous with data exchanges? Does the absence of double GamePad support also rule out local multiplayer?

JT: Actually... we're working with the possibility of two GamePads as that was something promised at the time of the Wii U's release, so if you have a buddy and you like the game enough, maybe you'll be able to bring your pad over because Gemology's multiplayer is about vengeance and punishment!"

I really doubt an indie would have access to dual-gamepad stuff before Nintendo even makes one game using them... and they'd need to actually sell them separately before anything else :p

Honestly, I'm pretty sure it's never gonna happen (the dual gamepad thing). Unless that's what Miyamoto's working on at the moment.

no PAL release/price?
Click to expand...

Releasing games in Europe/etc is rather difficult, mostly due to obscene cost of getting game rated (ESRB btw is free, simple, and painless) as well as other things. So you will likely see delays in getting games out in Europe for us small time indies. Which is why I'm waiting on US release for my game (ZaciSa's Last Stand) before I even try to release it in Europe/etc. I will be releasing in PAL of course, just taking it one step at a time.

They first have to sell the idea of using one GamePad, so using two is probably much farther down the line, yeah. To me, the GamePad's main function is remote play. Haven't played Wii U much, but when I have, it's all been on the GamePad. Wii BC there, too. :)

I wonder if this is part of the discount program Nintendo talked about in the Investors meeting, about buying Nintendo games and getting discounts for the more you buy, they said they will start this year on the WiiU.

I have a Zelda: Link's Awakening code for the 3DS that i got when i pre-ordered Link Between Worlds limited edition at GAME.co.uk. Since i dont have a 3DS that i can play on (i only have the first Zelda Ocarina of Time 3DS bundle for collection purposes), i thought maybe someone else wants it :) Since i ordered from GAME.co.uk, i would assume that the code only works on the european 3DS eShop. And i got the code nearly 4 months ago, so i assume that it hasnt expired.

I would foremost like to give the code to someone who really wants to play the game and not to someone who mainly wants to add the game to their collection, and just maybe play it some time. Naturally i cant control or check up on this, but i'm just mentioning it. And again, the code will most likely only work on the european 3DS eShop, so if you dont use the european store, it probably wont be of much need. The first person who quotes this will get the code.

Does Adventure Island 2 have a continue system or even a code for continuing? I love the series but I hated how the original made you input a code to continue. I figure instead of waiting for this poor thing to arrive on the Wii-U, I'll just buy it on the 3DS.

Might be a little OT but i can't find a thread for this and i am at wits end.

I bought a wii-u today. I bought one at launch and ended up selling it and long story short i can't link my club nintendo account to this wii-u and i can't deactivate it because i haven't had that wii-u in like 2 years and i can't even log into that account on the network site because it's asking me to update the wii-u. Can't log onto this wii-u with it because it's linked to another wii-u.

So, at the moment the only first party title for the 3DS eShop that has been released in America but not in Europe is Chibi-Robo Photo Finder, right? Are they really not going to release it here? We didn't see Park Patrol either, so I presume the first one must have been a a huge flop in here, but with this one being a downloadable game they have little to lose.

Only excuse I can think of for its delay would be a huge amount of text to translate, but I'm not so sure about that.

I can't remember which thread it was, but I remember someone recently bemoaning the fact that Guacamelee wasn't on Wii U when it has a ton of Metroid and Nintendo references.

It's interesting to note that a large portion of the Wii u eShop's current titles were released between August 2013 (after Cloudberry Kingdom) and Dec 2013. The first two months of 2014 are better than the same months in 2013, but starting this month, the Wii U's eShop release slate will probably blow 2013's away.

Edit: Corrections thanks to Tolkir & Gulatica. Tolkir, was Fist of the North Star a retail game in JP that became an eShop only game here?

Armillo just got delayed to May 12th. They had submitted the game to Nintendo, but then realized they wanted to polish up their least-liked levels. Thus they're spending about a month extra cleaning things up to their satisfaction.

How are they unlocked in the original version? I heard it was harder than in the SNES version (where you just had to complete every single level without using shortcuts).

Oh, and since people don't visit that thread often, there's some special eShop maintenance next Thursday... rather odd day, as it's usually on Monday/Tuesday.

Completing the game without shortcuts only gives you world 9 in the Famicom version. You have to beat the game 8 times (you can use warps, though) to get worlds A-D.
