Is it unrealistic to expect GBA games on the eshop someday?
Presumably he means the 3DS eShop, where releasing GBA games would actually make sense.

If these games don't make it to the 3DS eshop I wouldn't be surprised. Nintendo seems to be hell bent on doing the opposite of what makes sense this generation.
The Wakedas demo is insanely generous. Looks like it lets you play the first 100 levels out of 300 total.
It's a fun puzzle game, reminds me a lot of Art Style Zengage. It just has one really annoying flaw: It doesn't tell you what the minimum number of moves is to complete each stage!

Bought SMB: The Lost Levels.
*sigh* another week without NoA releasing SMB3 NES on VC
The only way I'd buy the GBA version of SMB3 on VC is if it includes ALL the e-Reader levels. You hear me Nintendo. I want those e-Reader levels.

Scratch that, it's only 70 levels. Still really generous for a demo.

Not actually that important
Everybody should buy Steamworld Dig. Fantastic game.
Sad that Pokemon Link doesn't have any online modes
The 3D effect is worthless, one of the few titles I've played sans stereoscopic effect, but I'd never do without a big map on the second screen at all times. The map is vital to the game, never mind if you go for 100% (and you will 'cause the game is the perfect length and it's madly addicting). Same reason I didn't bother with the Steam port.

Seems like Japan is getting an update for Wii Sports Club to include Wii Sports Resort holes (9 new holes). I'd only guess it'd come to the US as well.

Wii Fit U got an update today :
- you can now sync your Fit Meter data right at the start, when you launch the software (you can change it back to the "old way" by going to the game settings)
- when you sync your Fit Meter data, it now shows all calories burned since last synch, not just those from the current day. So now you can see whether you missed your calory target or not without going to the stats page.

Do we know how the map is handled in the Vita version? I have this on my 3DS, and am dying to tuck in, but I might hold out for the Vita version if it plays just as well.Everybody should buy Steamworld Dig. Fantastic game.

I'd like to know this too,
Steam I don't care, I just want to know whether to get this on 3ds or vita.

Cube Tactics is really fun.It's more a puzzle game than strategy. You basically build the battlefield with land pieces, traps, barracks to create units, etc. while your troops do their own thing. It's pretty fully-featured as well. There seems to be quite a few missions, a battle royale mode and online versus for up to 4 players. Great value for only $5.
Unfortunately none of you guys want to play it with me.

Sorry, I'm too busy with Pokemon Link, Monster Shooter, Tappingo and Knyttt Underground.

Bought Runner 2 and Steamworld Dig.
Asking again, is F1 Race Stars worth $15? Someone?
edit: also add 1 copy of DKC TF to the March NPD **sigh** this game deserves so much

No excuses! I bought Cube Tactics, Star Wars Pinball, Shifting Worlds and Boulder Dash 3DXL all at the same time! Backlog be damned!
Sorta. You don't have buffs and magic like in Swords and Soldiers though. Your placement cubes are randomized as well, so there's only limited base-building. I think a more apt comparison would be the Cubemen games. Maybe a bit slower paced with a more Japanesey art-direction.
As an aside, I played online with Miiverse's hero, and lover of 3D horses, Whitehart. Dude clearly loves him some download titles.
Nice. Has anyone played this, is it any good?
I don't know if it's worthy, maybe it's better to wait two months for Mario Kart. (I haven't played)
Here, there are some opinions.
I only can remember three: SMT: IV (it should come in), Rune Factory 4 and Unchained Blades.
Ballpoint Universe has been delayed.
http://www.gonintendo.com/s/224224-...3-more-weeks-in-development-for-bug-squashing
With Shovel Knight, Armillo, and Ballpoint delayed, March no longer feels like "month of the indies" for Wii U eShop.

Just got SteamWorld Dig thanks to the DDP.
Worth it right?
Worth it right?
Oh yes. Awesome game.

DDP doesn't apply to 3DS purchases.
Edit:
Oh, wait. You're saying you bought it on 3DS thanks to a DDP credit from Wii U. Gotcha.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.

On a completely unrelated note:
If you ever decide to upgrade your wiiu gamepad battery, _do_not_ use the kit screwdriver that comes with the nintendo battery pack (WUP-13). That screwdriver's tip barely fits in the heads of the screws on the back of the pad, and is generally too short for getting the job done (short handle = no leverage). Chances are you'll just grind the heads of the screws if any of those were slightly more tightened. Use a proper phillips #03.

What are all the negatives I need to know before linking my 3DS to an NNID? The only thing I know is that you can't unlink without deleting, which also deletes your account/purchases. It's already a very big negative, but is there anything else?
So another attempt - which Pinball 3D title is the way to go if you only want one ? All three are on sale and i need some advice
I think the account would linked to a specific region/currency ( some users complained about it) - i never had to switch the eShop so thats no issue for me. Other point would be, that its probably easier to sell a system with digital titles on if they werent tied to an account. So there arent other disadvantages i know of.
Being able to download demos/f2p titles ala Steel Diver/Pokemon Bank etc. , Miiverse integration, software being tied to your ID from the point you create it, sharing balance with WiiU eShop outway the negative, imo.

Two questions:
1. Why is Nintendo always removing functions from the system now? First the chat software, now Nintendo Video? Flipnote 3DS was never even released...
2. How can I download a software patch? Steel Diver tells me I need an update. If I go to the Steel Diver software in the eShop, it tells me that I already downloaded that.

It seems Snapnote was removed because they couldn't guarantee the safety of children or something. Don't know about Nintendo Video, probably some rights issues, I could never use it anyway.
Search for it on the eShop, there's a separate entry for the update.
Thanks, what a strange system. Still haven't got used to the clunky OS.

If you're just looking for any Pinball game for your 3DS, I recommend getting Pinball Pulse on DSiware instead (if you don't have it already). The Zen Pinball games were not meant to be played at 30 fps on a 400x240 screen.
They look amazing in 3D though!
What rights? Nah, it's just for Nintendo Video to be interesting, you need to have interesting content for it. And unfortunately, the cost of providing content for the service probably far outweights the benefits, so that's why the service is ending. They did try the 'sell videos separately later", but nobody was really interested.
I've used the service each week since launch, and honestly, except a few stuff, it was all pretty forgettable... And honestly, I'd rather Nintendo spent their ressources on more important stuff than on Nintendo Video.
No need to do that. Just go to the eShop option, there's a link to check updates for downloaded software. But usually, it just gives you a message when you enter the eShop.
The only negative over not using an NNID is that your 3DS will be locked into the country/region you currently have in your settings. If you switch between different eShop regions (for example, UK <-> Australia, Canada <-> Brazil, etc), you'll lose that ability.
That's only for eShop-only game updates. Updates for retail games requires a separate download, that is often it's own entry in the eShop.
