Oh nice, I'm at work now and don't have my 3DS handy, but I take it you can't change the button mapping on them?
On the VC NES emulator? No.

Oh is that for NES games only? Cuz I'm sure that's not the case for Gameboy games heh.

Contra, no. Super C, yes.
The first Contra is not.
You mean Contra III: The Alien Wars? It's on the Wii U VC.
FWIW I'll be doing a giveaway for this one next week.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.
Greetings, so I have an update to mention abut the Wii U version of Oddworld: New And Tasty. I conducted a very, very large interview with founder Lorne Lanning yesterday (I'll refrain from linking due to forum rules for now, it somebody else wants to do it, sure, fine.) and I asked him about the Wii U version of the game and I have some bad news to bring. The Wii U version is in trouble and may get cancelled outright, nothing to do with Nintendo personally, Lorne wants Oddworld on a Nintendo system and has much respect for him. Anyway, New and Tasty for the Wii U has hit some as I was told serious production delays have hit that version, it specifically has to do with the hard drive space, I think they are still building with the basic model in mind. Just wanted to relay this news to you all.

What the fuck??? Why would they build it with the basic in mind? Literally no one with a basic (who must only be a small proportion of Wii U owners anyway ) would be downloading big games anyway

Well, that's incredibly stupid if hard drive space is the reason.
I think it is that mentality of you have to build for the lowest common denominator is persisting, but yea, it is very strange and perplexing reason. Maybe I am infering wrong, but what is certain is they are having production issues.

Even if they get it to "fit" in a basic basic owners (without hard drives ) wouldn't be downloading it anyway, a lot of their space will get get eaten by saves and updates, anything over a few hundred megabytes is pretty much pointless for basic owners
Did you not try suggesting to him just to release it at whatever size it needs to be?
There are no file size limits on the eShop.
How big was the game for PSN?

I would assume they're figuring that into whatever sort of "limit" they're imposing on themselves.
But, yeah, it's absurd to not release a game at all because of limiting oneself to a certain amount of space of the far-less-popular model of a system that can use commonly-available formats for expanding space anyway.

Working far too hard making it pointlessly smaller than it needs to be

It was used all the time with the Gamecube. The discs were too small, and they didn't want to make a multi-disc game, so they just skipped out on the system entirely.

I can wait a week for Stealth Inc...Bayonetta's next week anyway.

Yeah, cause the basic had such a tremendous success... Why don't they just say in diplomatic terms that they consider that a WiiU version isn't worth the investment?
File size...
seriously...
Edit : yeah I remember the cube days. And the WiiWare file limitations. But to use this now...
terrisus
Member
Yeah, one could at least kind of understand the thought process then. All that effort of changing a disc, all those extra pennies spent printing the disc, etc...
But, there's really no reason at all now.
I presume it's not open to Canadians as apparently the game isn't releasing here (this trend is really pissing me off, btw)
Sometimes I wonder what devs are even thinking.

"Do we have an excuse to not put out a Wii U game besides saying that we just don't want to?"

Wish this were the case for GB games. Because Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2 were made very cumbersome with the default set up.
I guess they were too successful with the PS4 version so they don't need additional sales. Probably also the PC version has some HDD issues, seeing as there is no release date about that either. And a Basic owner by definition isn't too much into digital shopping or has already a USB HDD by now. Maybe they should pay for some consultancy from Shin'en on how to optimize the space. This game is already long overdue, by the time the other version will hit the market it will be on PS+ for free and the value of it will decrease significantly. Too bad about all the nostalgia, I guess that can be cured on the next Steam summer sales too.
That is odd. I guess if you entered and won we could see if the code worked for you. Usually I'm under the impression all NA codes work anywhere in the US or Canada.
What? The game isn't released in Canada? That is stupid...

Oddworld New N Tasty is 4.5GB on PSN. So, the 8GB Basic model has, what, 3GB left after the FW install?

Not really sure what is going on with the PC Version, Lorne didn't get to specific there, but that is very much in development and got shown off at PlayExpo recently. Lorne didn't give me a release date because all the dates he has been given never happened.
Pretty sure games on the eShop can be more than the basic model's HDD space. Heck, wasn't Tekken Tag Tournament 2 like 11GB or something? & I know Hyrule Warriors is almost 8GB, & that's not including the patches.

This is so ridiculous. They should just say fuck it and do it as-is. If you're buying digital games on your Basic, you own a hard drive anyway.

Of course! Fatal Frame 5 is like 17GB, DKC Tropical Freeze was 12 or something. Wonderful 101 as well. Lego City Undercover was gigantic as well. There are no size limitations! Which is why this reasoning is so completely irrational. Premium models have been outperforming the Basic since day one. It's not like they're the dominating SKU or make up a significant part of the user base.
I just checked and it's listed as releasing Oct. 23, so perhaps they just forgot to cross some T's and dot some I's.
Frederic: Resurrection of Music still isn't available in Canada. I contacted the devs about it a while back and they were like, "wow, we didn't expect so many Canadians would care." Like, what the fuck are you releasing a game for if you don't think people will want to buy it?
We were just as surprised as anyone and noted only a small population owned the basic model.
If it's just 1 week behind, i can see it as being a mistake of some sorts.
Now that is just stupid! All it takes to release your game in Canada is to have your game store page entry translated, which is easy, even free with friends/online goers. Game itself can stay in English/etc. It's literally that easy and painless.
Taking a quick look at my stats, my game has had 15% sold in Canada. Not something you ignore, esp when it has no extra fee to release there...
lolwat
I actually didn't even know that but I was interested in the game
How ironic that it's a game about Chopin and they can't be bothered to translate their store page into French :lol
Just to allay any confusion the fine folks at Nintendo Everything have transcribed everything Lorne said about the Wii U version of New and Tasty on my show.

If he was really bothered about Wii U basic owners being able to play it he should just do a disc release option, you can i believe get smallish runs of discs pressed (9000 minimum maybe?) and it would almost certainly sell
