Huh. How odd that it'd be taken off elsewhere, you'd think that if it was legal reasons, it wouldn't be in any region at all. Dr. Wright keeps popping up in Smash no problem too.

Did you not remember the part where Maxis is owned by EA and Sims/SimCity is basically the same thing? Of course it's EA!
edit: here's a pic of SimCity still up on the German Wii Shop Channel with a kidnapping proof of life-style copy of Bayonetta U to show it's current

The shop also received a Luigi's Mansion makeover, along with different music.

You can re-download purchased games without problem, even after they've been delisted (Yoshi's Cookie being the exception for some reason); so, that's no proof unfortunately.
I'll check if Sim City is still there. Give me a minute, I'll update this post later.

Yes it is proof since I bought it a) just last year and b) the pic shows the general platform list of games, not my purchase history.
...Nintendo's Halloween Sale?!? Where! First time hearing this! IIRC, they didn't have themed sales last Halloween, just themed eShop (which seems to be back). Are there other infos on the other titles participating to this sale?
I just looked, there is nothing from Nintendo, right now anyway. I dont see a lot of good games on sale :S
I suppose the amount of titles going on sale will increase on Thursday, when officially new releases and deals start.

If anyone was interested, not live in Europe yet (if it ever will be) we're still rocking the Super Smash Bros menu/main theme.

WiiU eShop music on WiiU right now is Amazing NA
You are right! Sorry, I somehow remembered it wrong and thought delisted games would show up like all other games, if you purchased them in time.
Anyway, I took the chance and finally transferred my Lost Winds over.^^

Nintendolife Legend of Dark Witch review = 7 (out of 10). I will probably buy it now.

There´s the title screen
And the music
And the fact that it takes me back to my childhood playing it with my sister

Geez, how did you beat me to this by like 11 seconds?
Anyway, it's nice to know that Nintendo can screw over Japan on the Virtual Console once in a while, isn't it?

So is there a story behind the six month void on Japanese 3DS Virtual Console?
How are you playing it already?
Because reasons.
Seriously, nobody seems to be able to get a straight answer out of NCL on this. (Or they're not asking.)
They're not asking.
The game's ok. Main problems: The boss weapons are almost entirely useless. The boss attacks are a bit unbalanced, especially the tornado girl who can force you to take multiple hits if you don't have speed upgrades. Finally, the shop makes everything feel useless until you upgrade, but no one wants to grind for cash to upgrade.
Otherwise, the music is good, the game has a fast pace with good controls. There's a decent challenge, especially on lunatic difficulty. I played through it four times, so it can't be that bad, plus it's only $4.
Noo! Lets wait for a sale! Lets be strong! They need to understand the VC games are too expensive!
But its... so... hard... to resist...
Oh, I'll be doing a giveaway for the game and was given the opportunity to try it out. It's a lot of fun, just ridiculously hard (in a good way).
Nothing other than the obvious (I don't know if any of this is already known):
When will the Wii U version come out?
Will it support off-TV play?
Will there be any Wii U exclusive features/content?
What are the supported control methods?
I spoke with Mo not that long ago, and it's slated for 2015 at this point. They're going for a simultaneous release on multiple platforms.
This should be an easy choice which controller do you prefer? Also clarify which system comes first. Since WiiU was part of the original goal and PS4 was a stretch goal I would check and see how they are doing that. It may make a difference
How easy is it to support multiple controllers? Does the input API make that transparent?

What?!? Dealbreaker for me, too, and I was really looking forward to buying the game on Wii U. Looks like it'll be part of a Steam sale next year for me, then, but would've loved for Off-TV play at Halloween this year.
Okay, I really need to read up on how Costume Quest 2 works, then. Just figured it'd be a direct followup to Costume Quest 1 in gameplay but with a new story, etc. If it's changed so much that the other characters don't just follow you (like they should), then may have to skip the game altogether to avoid the frustration.
Hmmm. If it's as frustratingly tedious as it sounds in the above writeup, may still skip it. This at least gives me hope of buying it on Wii U, though.

You clearly missed the part where they were talking about THE CAVE, not Costume Quest 2.
OH! Thought he was comparing Costume Quest 2 to The Cave's Co-Op as being so tedious. So it's like the first Costume Quest game, then?

Costume Quest is still Costume Quest yes.

The Cave gets even more tedious is subsequent play-throughs. Getting all of the endings is a chore because of repeated puzzles. The boat puzzle is probably the biggest offender here...
BTW, Tetrobot and Co. should be on y'all's radar. Played some last night and it's very fun. It's a good puzzler. As it is it's kind of straightforward and point-and-click-esque, but I expect it to become increasingly complex as it goes on.
Yep, I was referring to The Cave. I actually really liked the game a lot, but playing alone would feel brutally tedious. zroid, does Thomas Was Alone offer co-op? I hadn't read much about the game but I'm wondering if that would help with that issue as it did with The Cave. I admittedly don't know that much about the game, though.
If the puzzles weren't partly re-used I gladly would've done a second playthrough. I do think it's silly that there are 3 characters/playthrough and only 8 characters, so you need to repeat a character in one playthrough to get all of the endings.

The game should be largely identical on all platforms, so it's really about whether you want Miiverse and off-TV or trophies.
I hope someone bugs them about pro controller, Wii remote and classic controller support. They're porting over some good games but there's no excuse for stuff like Lone Survivor to be playable only on the GamePad.
It doesn't and I really think it would've benefited from a co-op mode. That said, there are certain parts of the game that probably wouldn't make sense with co-op. It would need to be redesigned to an extent.
Excellent.
Thanks!Thomas Was Alone is awesome. Played through the whole thing on Steam, and don't recall it being particularly tedious ever. Don't recall a Co-Op option, though. You just switch between the different shapes. Great puzzle-platformer gameplay with an absolutely wonderful story/narrator, in my opinion.
Glad you're enjoying it, Max!
Thanks again for the recommendation!
Thanks guys. I'll be interested to check it out myself in a month or so!
Dude your giveaways are awesome
I won't enter though, I rather someone who wasn't going to get the game otherwise gets it, because I'm definitely getting it!
