Yea, I remember Wrinkly Kong sometimes is playing Mario 64 in her room, since you can hear an snes version of the castle theme playing on her tv. I thought that was so cool.

Yep, even the cast of the game itself didn't care that DKC3 existed.
Cheers dude.
FoMT was the culmination of everything I wanted out of HM as a kid. The speedy load times of HM64 and the depth of BTN.

Do we know (or even have guesses) what those are? I seem to recall someone asking a Natsume guy on Twitter if it could come to Virtual Console and all he said was "impossible."
They were technical issues, not rights issues or anything like that.
FoMT is almost too content rich. I remember having a hard time getting into it out of fear that I was wasting time. Once I did though, wow.
For that simple pure HM experience though nothing will equal the perfect simplicity of HM 64. Just the right amount of stuff to do.

I don't understand when people say the 'best' Harvest Moon. Isn't FoMT the same as BTN, and that is the same as HM64? I have only tried FoMT and BTN, but from the little I played, they were the same town with the same stuff happening.
It's more like BtN is a sequel to HM64 and then FoMT is a remix of BtN.
BtN has the same characters as HM64 with remixed relationships in a new town. The mine is now at a scary depth and each tool has 5 upgrades. It's the first HM game to have a lot of depth.
FoMT is basically a remixed version of BtN with even more things added.

I love that game but it's already buggy and the text makes no sense, so how much worse could it really be?

Probably the fact that the copyright belongs to "Natume" >.>

Ahh, okay. I didn't really feel like playing BtN on my Vita or PS3, so I didn't play much. If FoMT does come to the Wii U VC, then I will get it and try and keep with it this time.
I guess no one will really have an answer to this but I'm thinking of selling my physical retail games to get them digitally (and just to make use of that DDP promotion before it ends)
what are the chances of seeing these games on sale before 31 Dec 2014? (I have all these in physical)
ZombiU
Sonic Lost World
Scribblenauts Unlimimted
Rayman Legends
Nintendoland
Wii Party U
Wii Fit U
Super Mario 3D World
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
LEGO City Undercover
The Wonderful 101
Wind Waker HD
Pikmin 3
I'm assuming the second list will be more difficult since the Smash sale just ended and they are all Nintendo-developed/published titles.

It's Nintendo. Don't hold your breath for any sales man.
not looking at (physical) retail sales. just really hoping there will be some discounts on the digital store.
should be able to sell most of them at the price I got them for...
ah sorry I misunderstood there.
oh well. hmm :/ should have gone digital from the start
The third-party ones, and especially the Ubisoft ones, are exceedingly likely. Some of those Nintendo games are certainly possible, although I believe Nintendo Land isn't available digitally at the moment.

EA must have forgotten it has NFS Most Wanted U on the service as it's still sitting at full price. I'd pick it up on sale.
guess I'll make arrangements to sell them quick then.
hope I don't regret as my local retailer no longer stocks on them (once sold, I can't buy them anymore)
hmm
the question is whether I should rebuy LEGO Marvel (which I just sold) got it on the PS4 during a digital sale

Matter of time, obviously. Expecting it this week is foolish, though.
a) Smash Wii U-related sales promotion.
b) Holiday sales
some are very unlikely though, like Lego City. That has never been part of any promotion, iirc.

Does the Mario Kart DLC count towards the Deluxe Digital Promotion? I just bought it and only needed 85 points for a $5 code but so far I haven't gotten any points for it.
It says "As of 10/14/2014(PST). Information will be displayed within 24 hours after downloading at the Nintendo eShop."
How long does it usually take to get the points towards the promotion? I know it says within 24 hours but I was just wondering if anyone had some sorta ball park figure.
Thanks.

Everything spent on the WiiU eShop counts toward the DDP, so yes even the MK8 DLC.
You beat me to correcting you
(But I caught you partway through your edit!)
You saw nothing!

Gargoyle's Quest II and Demon's Crest on Oct. 30th!!!! Yaaaaaaay!
Looks like Aria of Sorrow's Oct. 16th date in last week's PR was a typo. Booooooo!
Is Nightmare in Dream Land a good game? Never played it.

Oddly enough I own most of what you list digitally but I am increasingly wanting to buy more stuff on disc. I am starting to worry about potential issues when systems get retire, services canceled, and the off chance something happens and I cannot access my purchases.
Most of what you want should go on sale, but if you are crafty and willing to search out deals on eshop cards you can probably come out even or ahead.
Odds are there will be a 20 or 25% off eshop cards at some retailer by Christmas. Combined with a sale or two and you are doing fine.
Atlus is the king of e-shop sales
yea that's what I'm planning.
managed to stock up on eShop credit during the various Target and BB sales. together with DDP, buying digital is pretty cheap. and considering how I would probably never sell those Nintendo games, it's really worthwhile.
yea. that thought did bother me at one point (what happens if services go down, etc). honestly, I don't know but it's great to be able to enjoy the conveniences of digital.

It's basically an upgraded Kirby's Adventure with new sprites/sounds/etc.

Very nice. I love Kirby's Adventure, so this will be added to my VC collection.

I'm thinking about getting a Wii U, and I already have a Wii with about 20 or so VC titles on it (NES, SNES, N64, that kinda thing).
If I transferred over the games to the Wii U, would they then be 'linked' to the console? I mean, in the sense that they are currently 'linked' to my Wii (with the lack of an account system). I can delete and redownload the games as long as it's on that specific console.
In essence, would you have the ability to redownload the titles on the Wii U console at no charge, once they've been transferred? Do they somehow become 'linked' to your NNID? Also, can you buy and download Wii VC titles on the Wii U?
