Dumb question re: Spotpass Puzzle piece. Is your SD card full or has the write protect switch enabled? Both of those could cause problems as the puzzle needs to download to the SD card.

If you have write protection enabled, you will be warned when you boot your 3DS.
I also have trouble receiving new puzzle pieces; still haven't received the Fire Emblem one. I suspect this may have something to do with me changing regions quite a bit.
Seriously. I already own every one of those games except AC, which I'll be getting at midnight the moment it hits. As for the poster with the dilemma, I'd definitely go with trying to sell the AC code. That game is probably going to have a higher digital adoption rate than pretty much any other game so far.
Double check the wireless switch to make sure your wifi is enabled, check something else like the web browser to ensure you're getting a good wifi connection, all the usual stuff. Sometimes I find that opening SwapNote and forcing a manual Send/Recieve check from the menu can trigger SpotPass updates.
DKCR 3D if you buy it in NA comes with SMB Lost Levels 3DS. Too bad this offer doesn't happen if you were to get DKCR 3DS through eshop. =/

Nintendo has to be learning from these sales and the $.30 Virtual Console games that people will buy an incredibly larger quantity of things when the price is so cheap. I've dropped so much money on the Wii U Virtual Console already because it's like, "Hey, it's only costing me a couple bucks!" Hopefully the sales will continue and we might even see lower prices on the next VC.

Funny considering the last Mario game that came out (Paper Mario Sticker Star) came with a Donkey Kong Virtual Console game.
Actually, it was available with a number of titles, including Art Academy (which is how I got it.)
It's almost guaranteed to be half-off in a number of months.
The 30cent VC titles are the only ones I bought, so I hope so too!

Probably not until early next year, right before they roll out the Guild 03 stuff.
As an adventure game it's mediocre. The puzzles are fairly simple and the setting is too small and cramped to really allow for any exploration. As an interactive novel it's pretty good. The atmosphere is top-notch and the story is pretty interesting and has a pretty damn awesome conclusion. Whether it's worth the $8 pricetag depends on how much value you place on atmosphere vs gameplay.
I see. A guy I know bought it and he was pretty impressed by it. I think I may buy it this summer, but I think that I'll wait for sale. 8 is too much for it.
Nintendo UK just tweeted about them.

I bought Castlevania: LOS - Mirror of Fate today, hoping I could get a good game and a third code for NoE's So Many Games promotion...
There was no code for some reason and the game isn't that good so far

Didn't have a code either for MoF. At least I liked the game. XD

That's a nice little deal on Ghosts 'n Goblins. That, Toki Tori 2 and the two Oracles games for me this week!
Nope!
All digital games are worth points, most 3rd party 3DS games do not have codes.
How odd that Europe is sticking with 2 games a week while NA has finally moved on to 3 games a week. :/
edit: wow, only one VC game this week and it's a lousy game too. Sorry EU guys, but I guess it's sweet revenge for you guys keeping all the Picross to yourselves.
Anyways, should I buy Kirby's Dream Course now to get KSS free, or should I save my money for MMX? I've never played MMX or Kirby's Dream Course, and I have multiple copies of KSS so a free copy isn't super intriguing...

Hmm, I have heard nothing but good things about Toki Tori 2, I might bite now.
Yay! No Mega Man X for us!
Ugh, why are we getting less and less VC games each week? I guess I shouldn't get excited anymore when stuff is announced for NA.
At least we've got the Oracle games this week.

Pumped for the Zelda duology. Perfect game(s) to keep me occupied until Animal Crossing rears its beautiful head. After that the atrocious 3DS VC can just go away, I got mine bitch.

The Japanese 3DS VC is getting to be pretty impressive.
That's because they're favoritism promoting bastards. Either way, with Shantae and the Capcom Zeldas out they can peddle shit GBC games all they want, I'm done with the thing until they wake up and add GBA games.

Mine neither. They are, most of them, hopelessly dated. Get out stuff like Super Metroid, which in my opinion hasn't aged at all. Literally throwing money away.
The biggest problem with 3DS VC is the lack of several great GB/C games (especially so in NA, lagging bastards)
MGS Ghost Babel, MegaMan 2-5 and Xtreme 1-2, Donkey Kong Lands, Kirby Tilt (they can make it work), Dragon Quest 1-3, Pokemon, G&W Gallery 3, plus WL3, Kirby 2, Gator Pinball, Trip World, others in NA, among some other games I'm forgetting right now.
There's still quite a bit of the GB/C backlog to get through before I can move on to GBA, but Nintendo has their heads stuck up their asses and aren't trying to court these games for their service. At least WiiU VC is getting some good focus now...

I'll keep it for now and play some more, it might grow on me.
Switzerland. Nintendo of Switzerland and our Club Nintendo were opened around the time Luigi's Mansion 2 was released, guess Castlevania was one of the last batches without code since LM2 and Fire Emblem had them. I contacted Nintendo, let's see what they have to say.

Japanese Wii VC was legendary.The Japanese 3DS VC is getting to be pretty impressive.
My gut assumption is that messy licensing is less of a problem in Japan?
Or they just like older gamer more than we do.
Probably, considering that just about every damn PS1 game ever made is available for purchase on the Japanese PSN.

Well yeah, outside the Pokemon games we're pretty much covered in terms of the big names. Time to move on Nintendo. Time to advance forwards.

Oracles, MM6 and Shantae within a month of each other makes it hard to complain about 3DS VC right now imo. Yeah there's a ton of stuff I want still, but this is a pretty amazing couple weeks.
Wii U VC has been surprisingly good SNES wise post launch too. Thanks Capcom/Kirby.

Depends which games you're talking about. Nintendo is capable of releasing every single game they own the rights to. Smaller companies are not.
They really suck ass at VC don't they?

US still needs Wario 3 and Kirby 2 first. There's several other Nintendo games I'd also like to see too (Mario Tennis, Kirby TnT, Pokémon Puzzle Challenge) before Nintendo moves on.

Yes. Yes they do Mileena. Want to buy an overpriced Zelda 1 rom for the 4th time?
Yeah but that's NoA fuckery and fairly niche titles. GBA time, mofucka. And weirdly enough, bringing in GBA doesn't mean they need to stop supporting GB. They can multitask, bizarre as it might seem to them.

After those, my main wants will (still) be Wario 3 and Game & Watch 3.
It is a shame that the smaller companies aren't tapping into the great obscure library on Game Boy, but that's almost expected too. I mean, what is Namco's incentive to release Great Greed? They already put Pac-Man up, their job is done as far as they are concerned.

Not to be picky, but I don't like how Nintendo operates sometimes:
Droooooought - All the games - Drooooooought
Luckily, 2013 seems to have a consistent schedule of retail 3DS games.

I know it'll probably never come out, but I still want Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel on the 3DS VC.
You're acting like they HAVE to get your whole definition of "good" GB/NES games before they move on to a relevant platform. They could easily put N64 games on Wii U or SNES games on 3DS but they don't because they're inept.
Nah, they just like milking that 8-bit cow.
Regardless, they're going to have to do something with the 3DS VC, considering that they're only half a year away from filling up the Famicom VC library in Japan.

I'm acting this way because they ARE inept.
I dunno why N64 isn't present yet. NST handles N64 VC (SPD does NES/SNES/GB/GBC/GBA) so maybe they're the issue? Probably not, probably just dumb timing/scheduling, but there is a different team doing N64 anyway.

Refuse to buy Denpa 2 until I've cleared Denpa 1. Same goes for Dillon 2, whenever that rears its head in EU.
I agree, when the Wii VC launched, Zelda 1 can't have sold much compared to LttP.
