Is Pandora's tower only known to be coming to Europe this week or will it be coming to North America too?

NA has Tilelicious this week.
I will be amazed if we see any Wii releases beyond the initial three in NA.

Europe only because Nintendo of Europe published it. It's a third party release in North America and there are no third party Wii games announced. Well and it's out in Japan already, also because Ninty published it. Thanks to NOA handing this and The Last Story off to XSEED, you got a murky situation there with the digital release.

That's not the only thing that seems terrible about this...

Now that I'm stuck in EQ waiting on a patch fix, I'm trying to decide what we should play for ideally just 3 nights until DK 64 is out on Thursday. Hmm.
Looking for a short-ish game. Open to recs.
How long is the original DKC? Is it nearly as good as 2/3? I'm concerned about making jumps w/o Dixie's hair....
Also kinda thinking about SM64 on VC (even though it's not as short).

No Wii U sales though?
Passing on Pandora's Tower, since I own the original Wii version.
Also: Does the Mii Plaza VIP status increase the number of StreetPasses you can have beyond the maximum of 10? Or the number of games that you can activate StreetPass for? If not: What the hell is it even good for??

I love DKC1. You can find a ton of people telling you it's trash but I love it all the same because it's the same great, flow-based platforming, incredible music and cool locations. My 101% completion time for the VC version was about 4 hours of in-game time.
Eh, why is this? It seems like it'd be a rather pointless move to just release three random games and nothing more.
Thanks Moon! Are the graphics about the same as in the sequels or significantly worse? I ask bc I feel like from what I remember of the bit of the game we played on Wii VC it looked a lot worse than our recent Wii U VC playthroughs of the sequels, though I know Wii U has a better SNES emulator to begin with.
Compare the VC releases in NA to the other regions, NoA seems content to drip out the bare minimum of what's required.
When Wii games were announced, I believe JPN and EU both had four or five games listed as upcoming, NA only had the initial three with no mention of any future releases.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It's NOA. When have they ever made sense?
Also fuck the haters. DKC 1 is the best DKC SNES game.

It's all the same tech. Though obviously they were still feeling things out with the art and the environments are a bit simpler.
I really hope that second one isn't true. Worst Mario Kart track of all time.

Nah, it was fake. Don't worry.
(It's still possible though, of course)
Also, and oddly, NA gets A-Train 3D tomorrow instead of Thursday.

You're not missing anything, game play wise it wasn't anything special. Story and setting was weird, but you still have to play the otherwise boring combat.
Now, Sin&Punishment 2, when are we getting that to eShop? Great Wii game right there.
How about if I own a Wii U, but I can't get the repair center to fix the blasted thing right?

Runbow is getting a bunch of guest characters from other indie games =)
http://www.gonintendo.com/s/250984-runbow-getting-a-ton-of-guest-characters
Gunman Clive 2's sales apparently weren't as great as GC1's.
Also that Mario Kart rumor was proven fake (the originator said so him/herself).

The game, yes. The DLC has never been on sale.
I really didn't mean to start whining about sales on twitter, and momentarily forgot that such stuff is somehow newsworthy. It's not really that bad. Don't listen to anything I say on monday nights, that's my drinking day.

Only a few more days until Donkey Kong 64 is here.
I had the game but only played about 25% and I still have my save file just wanna see if I can get back in it, Also I beat S&P2 but that would be nice to come over too.
Are you sure? Source please.
Think of it as free publicity. Some of the folks in the comments section of those reports weren't aware the game had launched, but now they know and may purchase it.

None of that. It gives you a VIP room where you can save 100 Miis from the hell that is met by invitation (or death if they're special Miis...WTF Nintendo) which happens to your oldest Miis once the plaza exceeds 1000 (you can just delete Miis from the plaza free of charge but it is time consuming with how slowly the plaza scrolls). Plus a birthday feature which can give you plaza tickets which you will need if you want to buy everything (mainly the custom message boxes, you have enough for all the costumes from 5 games).
So really it is a bunch of features that should have been part of the update free of charge (e.g. sound test working in sleep mode) plus plaza tickets to justify the cost.
I'd love the system settings to have a proper streetpass management where I can choose which 12 are active. Having to boot up games to activate them is lame. Plus resolving that glitch where the last game you activated (top-left in management menu) doesn't work with streetpass relay making it really 11 instead of 12.
Thanks Moon!
We ended up playing the first 1.5 worlds or so last night. Pretty tough w/o Dixie's helicopter hair but much more fun than when we tried it on Wii. The game looks *much* better on Wii U. I don't remember if the screen was shrunk like this on Wii VC but it definitely helps sharpen the image a bit. As you said the environs are simpler in appearance but overall the graphics are pretty similar to the sequels. I think we're pretty much just at the point now where we gave up originally so it should all be pretty new to us from here. Last level we played was Stop and Go Station which was fun, clever, and I think totally unfamiliar to us. Should hopefully tide us over just about until DK 64.

Really damn annoying. Sometimes Nintendo decisions boggle the mind and this is one of those times.

What makes it worse is I actually like the sound of the birthday feature
Thankfully this is no longer a thing on the New 3DS, at least for me.
I had the glitch across four separate 3DS systems and after system transferring to the New unit (as was the case with all prior) it's definitely gone.

I haven't experienced it on n3DS either.
So I was playing super mario 64 and I was thinking, I have made a bit too many lttp/rttp threads, so I will post about it in the super mario bros community thread. Did a search and didn't find one.
No community thread for the most famous platforming franchise, one that has lasted 30 years? Well over that if you count donkey kong.
I am posting here to see if there is anybody who wants to help me make one. It would mainly be about the platformers but include spinoffs too.

So, High Strangeness is slated to launch on the eShop on May 6th. It's being published by Midnight City, I guess they aren't *quite* dead yet?

The game was rated by PEGI I think last Fall. I'm pretty sure they are just barely operational.

Is this a Sim City 2000 clone? I'm interested just because I want a portable Sim City game.
