Bases Loaded (NES) is tomorrow's NA virtual console game on Wii U. Sorry.

That's not Metroid: Zero Mission :/

 

[BooJoh]

The GCN one is even better.

I imported the GBA one from EU and loved it. I would've imported the GCN one too but I didn't have the means to bypass region locks.

 

[steveovig]

Bases Loaded, yuck. NOA is still as inept as ever.

 

[ScrabbleDude]

It's not "filmmakers" and "game devs" who are "forced" to do that. It's publishers who do it just to maximize profits. Fucking Disney cut Lilo & Stitch in Germany because they feared they might get a FSK 6 rating, lol. Now with the blu ray release 12 years later they tried again with the uncensored version and oops, the censorship wasn't even necessary because it still got its FSK 0. Don't blame our rating system, just because publishers are greedy.

CEOs of public companies have an obligation to maximize profits. That's literally the most important part of their job. These companies are not charities.

 

[rpmurphy]

From Nintendo's official twitter..

um, yeah

10000 hours in MSPaint

 

[Flandy]

Could someone tell me what's so good about The Wonderful 101? Would rather hear impressions from gaf than rely on reviews. Thinking it might be my next Wii U game but I'm not sure. Convince me pls

 

[ohlawd]

you ever play MGR or Bayo 1

it's like that; pure action awesomeness

 

[Flandy]

Nope.
Been wanting to play MGR but never got around to it.
Refused to play Bayo because of the inferior PS3 port. I'll get around to it with the Wii U version.
The only Platinum game I've played is Okami (that counts, right?) and a bit of Vanquish but I didn't really get into it

 

[sörine]

That's not Metroid: Zero Mission :/

We're already building a sizable backlog for GBA versus Japan. Mario Advance 1-2, Advance Wars 2, Kururin, Kirby NIDL, Zero Mission, Fire Emblem, MMBN. It's not as bad as NES or SNES but it will be soon.

 

[Rest]

I'm seeing 3D Classics Kid Icarus and Metal Torrent as Club Nintendo rewards, they both look pretty fun, but won't have enough coins left for my gold/platinum reward if I get one or both of them. Do you think the rewards will be announced before these two games expire?

You don't need coins for the Gold/Plat reward. You are given a choice based on what you finished last yr with - Plat or Gold. You pick your reward and that is all. You aren't charged for them.

Eh? I'm confused as to what you mean by this. Spending coins should have no bearing on gold/platinum status.

 

[jholmes]

Is that at least a somewhat good baseball game?

It's better than black box Baseball, but for my money the best Virtual Console baseball game is 2020 Super Baseball. Could you imagine if Neo Geo games could come to the Wii U Virtual Console? Wow. If only.

Gold/Platinum is based on how many coins you've earned over the course of the year.

It has nothing to do with how many at a time or currently that you have, and you don't need to spend any coins to get it.

Note Metal Torrent is DSiWare.

When the rewards are announced, people who earned Gold will be able to choose between one of several digital games or (usually) a calendar. People who earned Platinum will be able to choose the Platinum reward (or one of the Platinum rewards if they have more than one) OR one of the Gold rewards. As said above, none of those rewards costs coins and your current amount of coins doesn't matter, as long as you had enough to get Platinum status last year.

Bases Loaded, yuck. NOA is still as inept as ever.

What the fuck NOA!? Who in their right mind is going to download an old NES Baseball game?

 

[Flandy]

I hope you're happy Wii U Gaf

 

[terrisus]

I hope you're happy Wii U Gaf

Hey, don't blame me, ohlawd is the only one who commented on it.

As for myself, I have no interest at all in that game.

No GBA
No SNES

We have those though...

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Hey Nintygaf, it's been a while since I've bought any games with coins on Club Nintendo. Those give you codes that anyone can register, right?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

What the fuck NOA!? Who in their right mind is going to download an old NES Baseball game?

People who know quality.

That said, I'm sure that fucking nobody wanted Baseball or Bases Loaded.

Not a big fan of NES baseball games are you? Believe it or not some people will probably buy this.

Edit: On second thought I hope nobody buys that. Looks absolutely dire.

See?

Oh really? Do they cut their films in the US as much that every film gets an E for Everyone? No? Because that'd be just as stupid as the example I gave.

edit: oh, you already bought it! Good on you, Flandy!

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Note Metal Torrent is DSiWare.

Yet it can't be redeemed on a DSi as the DSi Shop doesn't support getting games via code.

At least it is better than having Nintendo points at hideous prices...

I really wish the eShop prices more closely resembled retail. Bought Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate from Gamestop for $20 but I'd much rather have it digital. Not sure if it's worth twice the price just to have it on a SD card though.

It has been on the eShop for that price before. I'm sure it will do so again nearer the MH4 release.

Gaiabreaker next week in Europe. 10.99 €

This looks terrible.

 

[Mistouze]

I hope you're happy Wii U Gaf

Future-you is the happiest.

 

[Robin64]

This looks terrible.

I'm inclined to agree. Most of the time was spent shooting endlessly at damage sponges with very little in the way of avoidance needed.

 

[Sylverstone14]

Gaiabreaker next week in Europe. 10.99 €

Yeah, judging its roots as an iOS game... it's a dud.

 

[69wpm]

Gaiabreaker next week in Europe. 10.99 €

That price can only be a mistake, 1.99€ maybe, 10.99? No way.

 

[Phoenixus]

What time does the eshop usually update in the UK? Eagerly awaiting PTCG.

FUCK YEAH RABI LABY 3!!!

(This is not sarcasm. The Rabi Laby series is GoaT.)

I've already completed the Japanese version 100% but I'm glad they've finally decided to localize it. Something seemingly big happens at the end of the game.

I look forward to being the only person on the US leaderboards!

 

[Jethro]

Has someone from the US played the Wii Ware Joysound Karaoke? I'm interested which and how many songs are included.

 

[Defuso]

The Pokemon TCG Game asked me about choosing between three languages (german, english and spanish? ). Is there any option to change my decission?

Most amazing Wii U game !!!

Is there no option menu ? If not you will probably have to delete the save game.

 

[Boogiepop]

How is Jett Rocket II? (And the first one for that matter?)

 

[Banjoman]

I got energy screwed in my first real match and lost against fucking Brittany.

Jesus Christ.

Where's all the GBA games?
Where's Super Mario Kart?
Where's Super Mario RPG?
Where's Donkey Kong Land?
Where's Brain Training?

 

[GWX]

Shit week. Where's my Zero Mission action, Nintendo? =(

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Rabi Labi 3 is this weeks megaton, i hope more people give a chance to the series now that is out of the dsiware into the eshop

 

[daydream]

How is Jett Rocket II? (And the first one for that matter?)

Decent 3D platformer, imo. The second one kinda came and went, but I do think it's worth playing, unless you hate the genre or something.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wish we got Pokemon TCG this week.

 

[brandonh83]

Are there enough sports games on the Wii U virtual console because you know that's what people interested in that service are most looking forward to buying.

 

[terrisus]

It's like NOA doesn't want to make money. These are all shit.

Where's all the GBA games?

No GBA
No SNES

We have those though...
