What!? What!?
I heard this is true with Child of Light too...someone please say it isn't so.
Nice, I checked the website earlier today and saw $19.99.
For $14.99 I'm sold on both. Thanks!
Where did you hear that? I can't confirm it, but Yacht Club Games list all supported controllers here. Shovel Knight supports every possible controller on Wii U.
Not sure where you heard that. I played through the whole game with the Wiimote and it was exceptionally comfortable.
EO4 is definitely worth it. I personally think its better than EO:MG but that's just me. Both are great games though. If you go digital you can backup your saves, whereas the physical cart only gives you one save file (for EO4 at least; I went digital with EO:MG).
You can play Shovel Knight without the GamePad.
But for some strange reason, even if you're not using the GamePad it has to be charged up. If the GamePad's battery dies even if you're not using it, you can't play. They'll probably patch the game to fix that.
I tried turning it on and it said the Wii U couldn't communicate with the gamepad(which is dead obviously), didn't matter how many buttons I pressed on the Pro Controller, I couldn't get into the game.
It seems you need the gamepad on to get into the game at least, which sucks for me right now.
That does suck, sorry to hear it. Play some Kung Fu Rabbit in the meantime!
Been contemplating buying the game, but was going to hold off because of Shovel Knight. Can I start the game without a gamepad?
I can't guarantee, but for the $2.50 sale it's worth the risk IMO. I do play it without the Gamepad, just not sure how I start it up. I can check for you later on this evening though.
Some of the decisions Nintendo makes are baffling.
Can't even go to the eshop without a gamepad sadly, forgot about that.
A console that relies on its controller? Craziness.
Yes, I know you can't have several Gamepads, but still, it's an integral part of the system.
Not being able to navigate the eshop with any of the other numerous controllers is an oversight, it's an easy thing to fix considering I can navigate the OS just fine. Just make me control a cursor with the thumbstick or pointer, done.
It would be like forcing you to use Kinect on the Xbox One to navigate the marketplace.
Picked up Ninja Gaiden 3 from Toys R Us for $7.50. Have I made a horrible mistake? Also is it okay to play this without the predecessors? Almost picked up Black Ops 2 for $15 but I decided against it.
I also got this thing for $3.

Hoping it's good
Ah, that is frustrating, sorry. I didn't even think of that. Hopefully there's something else you can play in the meantime. Will your GamePad be all set soon?
For under $8 you'll definitely have a good time. The game is really difficult and at times ridiculous but it's a good time. I've never played the earlier reboot games and I enjoyed it.
Was playing MK8 earlier, no worries about having other things to play, just expressing my disappointment about a weird design decision.
Also frustrated that I'm now on my fourth or fifth gamepad charger because my dog keeps chewing threw them. He hasn't chewed threw any other cords but my previous gamepad ones for whatever reason and there aren't any cheap ones on Amazon with Prime, so I'm not sure how long it will take to get here. The last one was pretty quick, so hopefully by the end of the week.
That sucks, sorry man. I keep mine stored where my cat can't chew on it. Keep it in a drawer or something maybe.

Not actually that important
NintendoLife says that it's the PAL version.
NOOOOOOOOOOooooooo!!
Go figure, every fucking time a game I'm interested in where it's vital it is the non-crappy PAL version :/

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Black Ops 2 is definitely worth $15 go back! There are still enough people online to get into TDM matches super-quickly, and lag/connection issues have not been an issue at all for me. If you like the series at all, it's worth owning to play a quick game or two when the urge arises.
I figured I'd put it towards the wonderful 101 instead lol. I had gone to the store in search of it but there were no copies
Note: Metal Torrent is actually DSiWare. This is pertinent info to those of us whose "fridge" is perpetually full.

Yes, assuming the developers are even getting the rating for over there (they should be it is a high profile game).
Basically the Nintendo online infrastructure went by the console regions so being then PAL you are stuck waiting for translations. It is kind of sad really because I remember in the 90s you would would get PAL N64 games months earlier but the missing the French and German translations.
1. Most N64 games and even some SNES games actually have been translated into German and French.
2. Most games published on Nintendo consoles are Japanese games, which will be translated simultaneously from Japanese into German, French, Spanish, Italian and English. It's not like the English translation is done first.
3. Nintendo releases many games weeks or months earlier in Europe, before they hit the US. Fantasy Life will have been available for a whole month in Europe, when it finally get released in the US. And that is a text-heavy game.
4. Even many indie games will be released on the European eShop before the US eShop. It's not like we have to wait for every eShop game.
So please stop blaming mainland Europe, because translations into other languages are not the problem most of the time.
You can transfer the save of the retail game to the digital version, but not the other way around. With digital version, if the save is not protected, you can create as many backups as you want, so that can be used to cycles saves, although you'll need to know which save is which backup.

But in the case of Shovel Knight (what I am replying to Gez about) the developer themselves have said translating the game is the exact reason for the later European (and as a result Australian) release. I guess the developer could go for an Australian release (well the Nintendo published Snapdots was released only in Australia) but I can imagine needing two NOE lot checks then, one for the English only version.
How does how NOE operates now have anything to do with N64 games which came out in 2000 or earlier? It was just a side point that came to mind regarding Australia waiting for translations as once upon a time they did not (while not being US imports with AUS rating stickers like the DS games were).
Click the < icon to the right of manual. From what I understand save backup tool allows for 30 saves globally (they're in an easy to locate folder on the SD card too). I think you can only use them on that 3DS. The system settings manual has more info on it so have a read of that before doing anything.
Some games won't let you backup. Things like Pokemon and Animal Crossing you can only use the last save you made on them (hence no need for backup).

oh how I long for thee in my North American eShop
I wish there was some semblance of hope for this to make it to NA.
With Kuru Kuru Kururin, it doesn't need PC Engine games.
How does that help the 3DS?
Kururin doesn't need to help anyone. Next week is a Kururin week. Nothing else matters.

Wish Cacpcom would port over Ace Attorney Dual Destines to the Wii U. Don't want to buy a 3DS just for that
I will if I have to though. Just not any time soon
Accept the 3DS as your personal savior already.
Unless Nintendo requires an USK-rating, it is totally optional. If they don't let the USK rate the game it will treated as 18+ game automatically, so some minors with restricted access to the eShop will not be able to download the game. But since it would cost them absolutely nothing to put it on the German eShop without a rating and they could still sell some copies of the game, I don't see why they would opt against it.

Hell yeah! Always wanted to try Kuru Kuru Kururin, and there was also a PAL release
Had the GBA version of SMB2 added in Sound samples? I would like to play the SNES All Star version again, but I hated the added sound samples in GBA SMB3..
Yes, the GBA releases had voice clips, including Toad's screeching. http://youtu.be/9VDFzs_lp7s
Yep, no, I'm out. I really liked the visual change in the All Star versions, but the sounds are killing me for some reason.
I think you are. It has the potential to get really annoying withing the first 30 seconds
