There can never be too many Kirby games. Especially considering this list is shorter than the list of most modern AAA+ franchises that started within the last 10 years or so and Kirby has been going for something like 25 years.

I'm inclined to agree, one or two Kirby games per console is enough.

Is there a release schedule posted somewhere for the Sega 3D Classics? I'm amped up about getting Thunder Blade 3D, but do not want to wait!

There is no such thing as too many Kirby games.
May. That's all we know, but from what we've seen, the Wave 2 games have been released in the middle of the month. So my guess is it'll either be May 14th or May 21st.
After that, 3D Streets of Rage 2 will release in July, then 3D GUNSTAR HEROES WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO will come out in August, with Sonic 2 being the final Wave 2 game in Sept.

Thanks for the info! A painful wait.. I'm daydreaming about what Wave 3 could hold!

So the Kart DLC is indeed Thursday right per usual eShop update in NOA?
I ask cause I forgot exactly and Nintendo has randomly dropped Pokemon a day early.

Hey, as long as the quality is there then I've got no problem with it. I don't think there's been a bad Kirby spin-off yet. And technically, there have only been one to two mainline Kirby games per console.
You need to look at NoA and NoE as separate businesses almost. They don't usually have the same sales and discounts. Think of it like hearing chips are on sale in 7-11 stores in Europe and wondering why the same deals didn't come to the U.S. at the same time.
Just trying to be proactive about potential "bad guy NOA" posts

Not actually that important
I was wondering, since Pandora is the first Wii VC release you can play on the gamepad alone thanks to its CC/pro support, has that done anything to other games playable with the CC in vWii Mode thanks to some firmware update or was it coded into the game's iso wrapper itself and thus, like I think, still only works with just Pandora (and future Wii VC games with cc support) and only the digital version?
Anybody tried seeing if Pandora's Tower disc can be played in vWii on the gamepad alone (meaning the gamepad's controls functioning as a classic controller) or you can still only display the game on the gamepad but needs a physical CC controller to play?

Aw, so Streets of Rage II isn't using full-screen? I was hoping they could make that work since the backgrounds scroll.
What the fuck.
The last DLC pack was dropped at like 3:00 in the morning following a maintenance period, if memory serves. I think that'll happen again.

I highly recommend Kirby's Block Breaker, just like Pinball, it is a top tier representation of the genre for 8-bit systems, and has all the charm of a great Kirby title.
These games have aged so well. I just wish the 1:1 mode was easier to access on 3DS.

Watching the Box Boy credits roll... what a fantastic and creative game that was. Got every crown, and played as Box Boy with ponytail from the moment the option was available--there he is looking all cute and femme, even in the credit scroll <3.
And then...
:O This game has a ridiculous amount of content, especially given the budget price. Yay!
Also, jealously watching the A-Train 3D thread. I should have it by this time tomorrow... the wait's been unbearable!
There was a moment of color when the HAL Laboratories logo appeared in this otherwise greyscale title, tee-hee <3.
"New worlds have appeared! Can you clear all of these new worlds as well?"

how much is it
been wanting to get them since forever - where did you find them omg
how much is it
Just got these games:
Rhythm Thief
Dr. Lautrec (Konami's take on Prof. Layton)
Which one should I play first? I'm not all THAT good with Rhythm games, but hey SEGA

Never even heard of Lautrec till today. That must've flown wayyyy under my radar. Looks kind of cool, and as a big Layton fan I'm very interested to hear impressions!

Ok? Still the best-looking game on 3DS, I think.
Unfortunately, it also suffers from being one of the most boring and repetitious.

I got both games off Amazon UK for 10 Pounds each
I have Lautrec in my 3DS which I brought to work with me, hopefully I can get past at least the prologue during break XD

Believe it or not, Rhythm Thief is actually Sega's take on Professor Layton too.
It's the definition of wasted potential, unfortunately. It's not really that similar to Layton since all the "puzzles" are incredibly easy and not at all the focus of the game. Instead they shove in dull quests where you run back and forth around the world map to "solve mysteries" (though there's not really much to solve since Lautrec basically puts things together himself without player input), pointlessly long dungeon crawling levels (hope you like pushing blocks!) and a weird Pokemon-esque battle system where you fight with ancient artifacts (the mechanics of which I never fully understood).
The best thing I can say for it is that the voice acting and animation are well done, and it's really cheap these days.
Ah, that's really unfortunate. The puzzles are a highlight of Layton for me, so that's too bad. Thanks for the info!

I'm seriously debating whether or not to edit a mini-rant into the post. But at some point I still want to appear at least somewhat different from richisawesome
Honestly, I only skipped over it and I'm a bit tired^^
I just get burned out on MK games. *shrug* We played a lot when it came out, including with GAFers, and then when the first DL tracks hit we only ended up playing them once. Then a GAFer wanted to buy my copy so I figured why not.

Mine gets played every night while my PS4 collects dust. Just not interested in remaster after remaster right now, and the Wii U gets nothing but new gems as seen above.

Ouch based on that I can at least beat it and then trade it in later for another game
From what little I played of R. Thief it does give that Prof. Layton vibe heh.

The Wii U has access to the Wii VC, that means a buttload of classic video games for play on dat HDTV...or Wii U Pad, at least I THINK they should be playable on that thing :V
Wow, I didn't realise there were so may games I wanted on Wii U! I'm sold.
Just have to convince the wife now...
Edit: Roughly what % of games can be played off-screen with that bizarro controller/screen thingy? And does it work well? Remote play (local only) is a game-changer for me on PS4.

Most of them. If it doesn't it's probably because it's actually using two screens like ZombiU.
It's 60fps with the lowest latency you will ever see for wireless video. It even beats out a lot of people's actual TVs.

Well, you are not named RobinStation for a reason!
I would say 95% of the games can be played off tv, its local only, but it works great, no lag at all.

eBay Daily Deals constantly has the Mario Bunduru for $259.99 with free shipping (tax is YMMV).
That gets you in the door with the deluxe model plus two games. IF you wanted to play 3D World you're essentially paying $200 for the system itself and getting a free copy of Nintendoland thrown in.

Rhythm Thief is the best rhythm games on the 3DS, it's like Sega went back to their Dreamcast days and told that team to make something crazy. It's like Layton, Space Channel 5 and Jet grind Radio had a baby.
Lautrec is OK. It's 3D anime cut scenes was the big seller for me. It's like Boktai meets Layton meets Pokémon. Just not as good as any of those franchises. Wish Konami would just release it digitally for $10 or so.

I'm in EU, but thanks for the eBay suggestion. Once I have a critical mass of cash, I'll start to keep an eye on it.
