So weird, no Genesis/MD on the Wii U VC, yet this. . .
Well, it's for 3DS which got the excellent Genesis (and Arcade) ports by M2, so not really weird in this context.
Speaking of which, the Western release of the second batch will be a highlight of early 2015, nay, 2015 period.
That sucks. It's supposed to be such a great game. Is the only way for you to play it at 60Hz to import another Wii U? No other workaround?
P.S. I have childhood traumatic memories of 2-1 in DKL, haha. You could see shit and there was a flying pig in the snow or something ready to stop you from making a seemingly impossible jump at any moment ;___; (might be conflating memories of levels there)
Wow, that is so rad.
The Wii versions have been delisted, pretty sure. So that option is out of the window.
But yeah, I've also bought 1 and 3 but held off on 2.
Wow, just discovered the music for that Mega Drive theme is the Mega CD BIOS music.
There's also suppose to be a '80s game center theme, but I can't find much info about that. I think Nintendo will upload videos of them soon i.e. tomorrow so we can get a better look.
& from what I'm hearing, there might be themes based on some of the different Sega 3D Classics games.
Kind of hope Sega does a sale on the previous 3D Classics games to hype up the release of the new set.

They were relisted for Wii alongside the Wii U versions.
There are pictures of the themes in the article I posted in the thread (or all over Twitter).

Collectible Badge Center is a new app for the 3DS released today in Japan. Seems to decorate your home menu with various sprites and you can replace icons with different styled ones. Only issue is that getting them seems to be using a claw machine

Oh, I wasn't aware. Probably makes it the last software released for Wii VC, I reckon? Disregarding the fact that it's a re-release, of course.
OH! I didn't notice the newest interview you posted had multiple pages. That's why I didn't see the arcade theme. Thank you for informing me.
IT BEGINS! Could we see Duck Hunt before the year's end?
Oh man, Nintendo just released a game in Japan where you can unlock stickers & even additional themes for the 3DS main menu. Some of them are even replacement icons for Miiplaza, Photo Channel, Settings, etc.
My game's new patch won't be out till late January, but I figured I give people an update on what I'm up to, game-wise.
ZaciSa's Last Stand's new maps: BLOK DROP U, PING 1.5+, GAF. BDU is actually playable and GAF has GAF Gold which can be activated. lol. Game will become 60 FPS once patch is released too!
I'm currently working on a sequel to the game set underwater with an ocean setting. Will have new art style, pixel art most likely. Prob April release. Will attempt North America/Europe launch release. No idea the name yet.
ZaciSa 1 will be seeing a Europe (including USK) release in early 2015. Prob Feb if I'm lucky. Not sure on price yet, but will attempt a week 1 sale to make up for being so late. Because of this, also working on redoing the eShop graphics used (such as the eShop icon for the game), as it sucks.. lol
Also working on new game, a physic-based puzzle game, I plan to call it "Drop It!" At least that is the current idea. I'll get input on names/etc later on. But current thought process is to have it released in Feb/March. Main core of the game is actually kinda done, Using the ZaciSa 1 core and more importantly the code built in the BDU map as a base helps a lot. More on this later, but have some neat ideas, including a possible co-op type mode of levels.

Not actually that important
Man, December's sale for EU are utter crap compared to NA.
Of course, Resi Mercenaries for 4 is a fuckin' steal but I own it already.

Has anyone been getting an error code 103-1604 on their Wii Us? I haven't been able to connect to the wifi even though the signal strength is two bars and there's nothing blocking the router.
It started happening around the same time the updated Nintendo Network agreement popped up so I don't think it's a coincidence.

I played The Swapper late (on PC) but absolutely fantastic game. Does the horror atmosphere better than most horror games, some great existentialist stuff, love the stop motion/claymation look. Good puzzles too, a couple of the last ones really had me stumped. My only complaint was there's 2 endings, the game immediately restarts if you pick one, and there's no particular reason to replay just to see the other. Both are worth watching, but you should just watch the other on Youtube unfortunately.

EviLore cashing in that paycheque?
So not only is Mega Man Zero hitting eShop tomorrow, but it seems there'll be a sale on Mega Man games as well.
Think Nintendo posted the tweet a day early since the eShop would've been updated by this time tomorrow.
Oh wait, seems to be today, according to their Facebook: "The Nintendo eShop wanted to get you something, so we're offering up to 50% off on select Mega Man titles from 12/17 at 9 a.m. PT to 12/22 at 8:59 a.m. PT."
Edit: Yup, it's up today. Basically, Mega Man II, III, & IV on 3DS & then 5, 6, & 7 on Wii U are all 50% off.

Good sale. Now that Mega Man Zero is out of the way, I'll be crushed if DKC doesn't show up on Christmas morning.
Everything would be solved if Nintendo just updated the Wii U to output at 50Hz but that's highly unlikely :/ My Wii has the homebrew channel so I could probably use some unofficial means to remap the buttons but that sounds kind of a pain to set up. I'll probably just grab a GBA cartridge somewhere down the line, unless Nintendo decides to be nice and also upload the portable versions. If they did, I'd also double dip on DKC3 as they added a world to the GBA version.
Ha ha. I went back and checked; there's only 2 snow levels and both are in the 1st world. You're probably thinking of 1-2 (1st world, 2nd level) and yeah, that level is hard. Rare was cruel to place that level so early in the game.
I'm hopeful we'll somehow get DKC tomorrow still...if not...maybe...DKC...somehow...next week? :'(

Does nintendo have christmas sales?
It's missing the overhead levels and replaces them with something else. Think people at the time said it was more like the Genesis version or something. Since it's on Wii U, anyways, just buy Contra III SNES to get the real deal.
Sometimes, yes.
MM 2, 3, and 4 GB, not NES. Important distinction. Have 1-4 on 3DS and would've liked to get 5 and 6 NES there, as well. :/

I feel a little ripped off paying 99¢ for Whoa Dave and I'm a nut for really old-school arcade games.
Gunman Clive 2 has been classified by the australian board. Instant purchase for me, after the excellent first game.
I am so there girlfrie- I mean, sounds awesome!
I'm gonna go with "ZaciSa's Last-er Stand"... or maybe "ZaciSa's Last Stand 2: Stand Harder".
It's a mess. It sounds like shit, they removed the two-weapon carry limit and the bomb, they replaced the overhead stages with stages randomly pulled from Contra Hard Corps, etc. I wish they'd just made an original game for GBA instead of butchering two classics, but what's done is done.
I'm probably still gonna try it out of curiosity. Contra III is one of the best run & gun games of all-time.
Yup, day 1.
Make it a prequel and call it ZaciSa's Penultimate Stand
Do you already own Contra III SNES on Wii U VC? If not, that'd seem the better choice...
