Yeah, this will be a double (triple) dip for us, as we own all the Wii versions already. It will be real nice to have them on the go. Runner is a family favorite. It alone is worth the $5 to me.

Damn. Sold!
Becoming harder and harder not to use the $30 credit on things other than Ace Attorney 5
I've already gotten Shantae, Picross e2, and now I'm going to get this and Wario Land 3 with it... announce the fucking date already Capcom!!

As slightly choppy as some of the games can be in Bit Trip Saga, $5 is too good of a price to miss. Definitely interested now.

Hey guys, that 10-in-1 Arcade game isn't bad at all. It's worth $3 for its very competent Space Invaders, Asteroids, Puyo Puyo and Breakout clones.
Woah! That's crazy for a Nintendo discount. I already bought the game on the 3DS and Wii though.

I already though 15 was a good deal. ThIs is awesome!
No gyro control for some reason but you can play with the touch screen (or the slide pad, but I would NOT recommend playing it like this.) The best way to play it is using the touch screen with your thumb. If you use the stylus you will get massive hand cramps.
Was it mentioned that Ninja Gaiden 2 is coming to 3DS VC?

Nice NintendoLife interview with Shin'en. I posted some tidbits but make sure to give NL a click 
- All their 3DS and WiiWare games were financial successes
- Development on Jett Rocket 2 started 1.5 years ago as a smaller, more arcade-like title
- Went instead for platforming and exploration like the original Jett Rocket
- No motion controls in JR2 as they need to be tight
- Many hidden secrets, destructible scenery to enter new passages
- Hints toward post-game content
- Maintaining 60fps with stereoscopic 3D was an "immense challenge"
- More levels and unlockables than JR1
- Might bring the game to Wii U
- Already talking about JR3
- To be released in late Q3 or early Q4 2013
- Working on Wii U tech and two Wii U games, planning to share first details this autumn
- Releasing games in Japan with Arc System Works

Finally. Now patch that save bug.
FINALLY. What took them so long?
I just started playing this on Monday and it is absolutely flipping fantastic
$25 is a steal. Just make sure you all play 999 first, you MUST! Both amazing games.

don't work too brilliantly (well to the standard of other vc games) on 3ds, will be coming to wii u eventually
I got Zero Mission as a part of the ambassador program and it seems to work fine for me?
Technically, there is nothing preventing it. The GBA games included with the ambassador program switched the 3DS into DS mode and then played them from there, which meant no save states, but they worked.
In theory, Nintendo would be able to write a emulator or shell to allow save states, or just say screw it and offer them as is. It doesn't seem like a technical hurdle.
The likely reason is that it is easier not to. It has already created an emulator that works for NES, Gameboy/GBC and Gamegear, and there are a ton of games yet to sell. It probably takes a lot less work to get the games working since the work is already done.
Nintendo has hinted that GBA games might come for the Wii U. I suspect that if the 3DS doesn't get GBA games by this time next year, then it won't happen, and it is pretty unlikely regardless.

Lol, I posted about this on their Facebook today.
Other VC games allow you to use the 3DS native functions and support save states. The GBA games through the ambassador program don't.
Ok when then? I mean seriously it can't be that hard for a company like Nintendo to do this when the user community can do it no problem. The longer they wait for sales they lose from someone like myself. Because they didn't have it available I bought the game used, a ds lite used, and a gameboy player used to play the games when I am at home.
I thought Fusion was the 3DS Ambassador game.
It was, it was a typo. Sorry.
Steel Empire (Genesis) coming to eShop in Japan

Awesome. I saw it at my EB Games for $40 but I thought that was too high a price. $25 is a good price, but I'm still a bit hesitant to buy it if the save-game bug is still there. Does save-data backup work with the game?
PAULINK
I microwave steaks.
I agree, this is annoying. it better come out tomorrow, I can't believe it's taken this long.
Not a Nintendo discount. Prices and price reductions are set by the devs. Nintendo has nothing to do with that.
Wait, the bug hasn't been fixed yet? Holy shit, that's ridiculous.
What I needed to triple dip =|
Huh. I wonder if it's more like a 3D Classic or just straight up emulated like a VC game?
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Digital version means save backups! Hopefully it is available for the game.

The trailer has just been sitting in the eShop all Summer taunting me! I don't care whose fault this was, just get the game out now so I can play it soon and all will be forgiven.
That will be very interesting to watch.
Bit.Trip you say? I'm trying to insert my credit card into the cart slot, but it won't fit. Take my money already!
I hope this releases in the US really soon.
I passed over the DSi version, because I hoped they'd make a 3DS version.
I'm really hoping for some good 3DS VC releases tomorrow.
I have $17 left on my account, and there are no cart releases that I want until Zelda.
Etrian Odyssey 4 was one of my favorite games of the year, but I'm not sure if I want more from Millennium Girl, especially after seeing on Siliconera today that many of the FOES come directly from 4.
I'm afraid to get the current VC games that I want (Mole Mania and Zelda 2) because I almost bought Mario Golf last month, waited and then it was the Nintendo Club game.
