He's probably upset that they shoved it into the "Also new" section is my guess.

Yup, very much this. A-Train is the game that should be receiving some love from Nintendo this week. It is unlike anything else on any handheld platform, and having now played it, I can say it's a game that rivals the best in simulation titles on the PC.

Nintendo has done both the game and the platform a disservice.

Yeah, Nintendo in it's PR sadly only really gives more attention to games that have "hype" with it. It be much better, if they advertised the games getting released a little better.

They're both good games, so there's only one way to decide... by OPTICAL ILLUSION!

For what it's worth, I've been very disappointed by Triple Deluxe, and I loved Kirby's Adventure Wii/Return to Dreamland which is IMO the best Kirby game ever.

Triple Deluxe is too linear, there are too many "puzzles" on the way that break the rhythm and replayability, what you have to do is too obvious, final boss is kind of lame, boss mode is not very interesting.

New Horror game coming to the WiiU eShop, looks cool uses the gamepad too
Click to expand...

Have we not covered this here before? Wasn't there a thread? It was announced a few months ago. I would hold off on getting excited since this, if I'm remembering right, is a one-man project which is still super early or something.

Here is the original reveal: http://www.cubed3.com/news/23437/1/...-survival-horror-bizerta-silent-evil.html#top

I haven't bought Pikmin 3 because i have to delete games in my WiiU before buying the game. Why Nintendo? Why?

Personally I prefer them just allowing you to use a USB harddrive rather than slap on a 120gb drive and charge a huge markup for it.

Yes, this is a legit issue. It actually kept me from buying a game even when it was on sale a few times because it happened to be quite large and I didn't want to bother deleting a ton of stuff.

I thought Nintendo said not to use flash drives? I could have sworn I heard at least one Gaffer had something happen to his files as a result.

TheMoon said:
Yup.
Click to expand...

Nintendo is being overly cautious. There have been Gaffers who had their HDDs fail and lose saves as well.

There is nothing wrong with using a NAND flash based solution, if you get a USB stick or SD card from a reputable source they should last more than long enough for use with your Wii U.

In fact, it is really annoying that there is an SD card slot and I cannot pop in a 128GB SD card and use it with the Wii U is extremely irritating when it worked just fine on the Wii.

Bizarrely they haven't shown any interest in continuing to list any new Wii games in NA. I was hoping for a bunch to release so I could make my copies of Wii Kirby, Pikmin and Mario games into digital and sell/trade the physical copies. I wonder if they just sold really poorly here.

In fact, I don't think we even got DKCR yet!

Vanillalite said:
Yeah cause what we need is a fuck ton more Mega Man vs the mounds of other shit we don't have yet especially now with the Wii, DS, and N64.

Also I'm just over the fact that NOA hates Metroid. They hate the series. I get that. We disagree. I'm just gonna move on. :/
Click to expand...

Vanillalite said:
Splatoon is a retail game though.

It will effect VC as NOA throws us only a bone or two. One of those slots will 100% be Megaman now.

Just look at this week. We have 1 Wii U VC game in DK 64. If this was May that 1 game would be MM and we'd have nothing else.

This would be less of an issue if Nintendo didn't drip feed the VC services.

jmizzal said:
Gonna have to agree here, May will prob be all Mega man so no Wii games, maybe like 1 64 game 1 DS game and no Zero Mission

In memory of Team Top Hat and his jovial NOA hate I've decided to throw together missing VC lists for each region (minus Japan because fuck them and their mountains of VC!). Get pissed about what you don't get.

Hey sörine! Since you're here--and to anyone else--something a bit fortuitous happened to me this morning. I was looking through the bag o' Wii stuff my Dad brought me to trade into GameStop for cred since they don't use it anymore, and I discovered an unopened 2000 point Wii Shop card! Yay.

So, I was wondering if you still have that post somewhere of underappreciated VC platformer recommendations. If not, I'd definitely be interested in hearing a few (from you or from anyone else here) if you're willing and have time! Thank you!

I can recommend Bonk 3 and ToeJam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron, though the latter is most fun in co-op. If you prefer single-player exclusively, Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa is a really underrated Famicom Disk System game that somehow managed to get added as an import on Wii VC.

Thanks Cam. How's Bio Miracle's Save System? I'm not sure I have the time or patience these days to deal with antiquated save systems w/o save states (so I definitely only want Wii VC games that aren't on (and likely won't come to) Wii U VC). I guess I should ask about Bonk 3's save system also b/c the original IIRC doesn't really have one, which we found out the hard way.

You can see save states have really spoiled me.

Neither of them have a save system, but they both have level select codes you can use instead.

I actually took your advice into consideration, and thank you for it, but I still went with Kirby as I didn't think I was going to be troubled by the easy puzzles. I'm playing Box Boy (which is also by HAL), and even though it's easy (aside from some select crowns), I'm having the greatest of times. I guess I'm in the mood for easy and pick-up-and-play kind of games. Kirby's upbeat music and colorful visuals definitely don't hurt =) I'll definitely track down ASA in the future, though, I love the idea behind it.

all those eShop sales are really making me want to digitize my 3DS collection
any game on sale with Download Play (or multiplay with a second 3DS and cart?)
maybe I should get Tomodachi Life Digital (got the physical)

I was having the hardest time getting her to spin counter-clockwise, but then I focused on her reflected foot instead of the main silhouette, and that worked! Now can get her going both ways at different times, though, it's still easier to see her going clockwise. (^_^)

I actually can't get her to spin clockwise no matter what I try. It's always counter-clockwise by default. That confused the hell out of me, I thought he was cheating and trying to make him buy ASA :D (which I would've recommended anyway, despite like KTD a lot)

It's still a good game, extremely cute, and if you like the 3D effect, it's used well (all the "tilt the 3DS" puzzles suddenly disable it though, which is annoying). If you don't mind playing a game in "automatic piloting" (I do, I feel like I'm wasting my time), it's a good choice.
