Oh, neat. Thank you. I would hope that as a 3DS port it might have manual combat? If not I don't think it would interest me. Thanks for the info regardless!

I wasn't talking about Nintendo specifically (although still waiting for a Sakura Samurai discount in PAL Nintendo. >_>) so I guess I'll blame them and everyone else then.
There hasn't been anything I've been interested in that I don't already own discounted on the PAL release list for awhile now... I'm not just looking for reasons to complain, if there was something I would have purchased it and got my DDP coupon. I feel like every week I look and its Angry Bunnies, Abyss and Resident Evil etc.
I don't think Ping 1.5+ is available in my region.

Looks like it's still automatic. The fact that it held my attention long enough to finish it says something though, although it might just be that it tugs slightly at my GBC/NES nostalgia.

Ah, that's too bad. Probably not my kind of thing then. Thanks for the info!
Ah. Your in Europe/pal. That sucks. Lot of good indie games aren't there yet cause of crazy ratings.

Dunno where to ask, extended Wii U gamepad battery--worth it? I'm buying Pikmin Wii refurbed from the Nintendo online store, I don't want the $5 shipping to go to waste on a $15 item but I'm not sure about the battery. Does it give better piece of mind? I leave mine in the cradle at all times when not in use, I don't usually run out of battery but I always worry about it. If I could leave it out and on but not worry about it dying before going back in the cradle I guess that's good enough. Does the weight it adds matter much?
I liked the cast :/
The only really bad VA is Midori and her grating, high pitched voice felt like a parody of badly dubbed anime, so in the end it didn't bother me that much. But hey if you don't like the VA, you can always turn it off.
The beginning is the usual tutorial and scenario building stuff but it doesn't take long for things to get interesting. I'd say that you should be hooked by the 2nd or at most 3rd day.
It's true that you can't skip battles on repeated playthroughs but they'll only take you a few minutes at most if you brought over any of your demons. The text skip is also pretty fast and, there's a few bonus battles to spice things up.

I bought one a couple of months ago and while it does get a tiny bit heavier, I feel it was worth it so I didn't have to worry anymore about putting it back on the charging stand immediately after every session. With the extended battery you'll likely never see the red light again unless you're very forgetful

This is promising...
I was pissed because my wife and I were playing MK8 last night for only an hour when her controller started to die. The battery on this thing is garbage. Where do I get this item? I see one on Amazon, but it's $54.

Bought this on a whim this past Saturday:
20 bucks was worth it alone just for the battery packs for the Wiimotes.
I Recommend it just for the battery packs
It's called the Nyko Pro Charge Station.

My issue is that my Wii U is in my office. When we setup the Wii U to play on our huge TV in the family room, there's no outlet nearby.

In the US you buy it directly from Nintendo.
Your battery died after an hour? Then it wasn't fully charged. Minimum is 3 hours. Did you maybe have the brightness and audio on full blast the whole time or something?
I do have the charging station right next to the couch. But I move around a lot. Sometimes I play in another chair, sometimes I play at my desk or play in bed at night/in the morning. So yes.
But knowing how you use the thing and deciding accordingly is key, of course.

That's true. I dunno. It's not *really* portable for me and I get poor reception for the Wii U GamePad outside of the living room, so I don't think I need one. I understand the need for those who do, I guess I just see people online often saying the battery life is awful (and I agree when fully charged it's about 3 hours) but I wonder if those people in general do not have an outlet nearby when playing, and if it's more convenience than need. Anyway, I'm glad you'll both benefit from improved batteries.
I'd love themed sales, even flash sales from Nintendo. Esp as a dev.
But outside of that, it's up to the dev. I'm more arguing on the side of seeing people be idiots (more on twitter/not here) that bitch to Nintendo's twitter account when a indie game goes on sale and bitches at them saying they didn't want it and "how dare Nintendo"...

It started to die within an hour because I was using it earlier in the evening for an hour or so. It's just crazy how fast it dies in general.
Is it bad to put the controller on the charger after any play session? I know you're typically supposed to drain a battery before charging it, but I wasn't sure if that's how it worked for this battery.
Cannot recommend the Wii U extended battery from Nintendo's store enough. Really makes a difference, if you can use the Off-TV play where you want to. With the ease of removal of the n3DS backing, am expecting an official battery extension from Nintendo for those, as well.
Edit:
Here's the link for the extended battery from Nintendo's store.

That's why the charging cradle exists. So you can put it on there at any point.

Cool - I didn't want to kill my battery faster, but it sounds like I should just deal with it.
However, I'll probably buy the extended battery at some point anyways. I want to grab a few games first (battery is sort of secondary to those right now), but it's on my list.
This is definitely something I should do. I hate having to unplug the cord from the cradle when I'm low on charge but still playing.

Layout of my house/living room doesn't work well for this. And while I've resigned myself to having cords everywhere, I still don't like charging cables lying out in the open. Most of my cord-mess is all squirreled away behind the entertainment center and PC desk. I think I'll nab that battery just so I stop thinking about it.

I haven't seen a lot of Fairune but what BooJoh described sounds to me a lot like what old games like Hydlide or even the first few Ys games did with their battles, and those are great games that are considered true classics, so don't be so hasty dissing on this! XD Fairune looks more like a puzzle game than an RPG to me, anyway. It looks cute, I'm interested, and at that price I'll consider it if I manage to get some credit through Club Nintendo games before the DDP thing ends.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So do we have any tipoff on what the good VC game this week will be in the US?

Any bets on when Lufia: The Legend Returns will hit 3DS VC in NA? Natsume were shooting for November in NA/EU, EU got it in November, but NA is still waiting. Every Thursday, I log on at noon to check, and thus far, my heartbreak only continues.
I mean, sure, I could start a new game on my old cartridge copy and play on my SP, but the idea of playing on 3DS XL just has me so warm inside

Just letting you know that VC doesn't get announced much in advance. If there isn't any in the preceding week's PR, then we shouldn't see it until Wednesday before release (usually VC release on Thursday at noon EST)Any bets on when Lufia: The Legend Returns will hit 3DS VC in NA?

Isn't it the other way around? Double size for dl+install and ultimately half the size after install?
Did I ask y'all for Wii VC recommendations recently? Or just about DoReMi and Ristar? I want to say it was the latter, so here goes: I've got 2400 Wii points burning a hole in my digital wallet and I want to pick up some Wii VC or WiiWare gems. I love unusual games, especially platformers. I'm a big Zelda fan. I guess I have pretty narrow focus as a gamer. I like some puzzle platformers or puzzlers with progression to them like Pushmo World. Hmm...I don't care for shooters or sports games really. I'm not much for RPGs generally except the Paper & Luigi series. I...tend to like Nintendo games significantly more than most other games. I feel like I've purchased and/or played most games I've been interested in, so please school me. What's Nintendo-like or from Nintendo, on the Wii shop, and under my radar? (BTW, you can presume I've got all the standard Mario, Zelda, Kirby games.)
Thanks!
ETA: I should also mention that the DKC trilogy is something I haven't really played.

If you've not played any of the DKCs yet, I'd at least pick up the first or second and just have them ready to upgrade when they come out on the WiiU VC the next time the eShop has a slow week. Or are they still delisted? I forgot.
In terms of Zelda-likes, consider the Neutopia games for the TG-16. The first game is a reasonable Zelda 1 clone, and the second is a good attempt at doing ALttP shortly before that game came out. Also consider Landstalker. It's difficult, but I think you may like it being a Zelda-like with platforming.
Also consider Dragon's Curse (the TG16 version, avoid the Master System version since it's obsolete) and either Dynastic Hero or Wonder Boy in Monster World (they are the same game, so it comes down to whether you want CD audio and cutscenes or not).
Unusual platformer recommendation: Bravoman
Puzzle platformer recommendation: Solomon's Key
Recommendation to change your mind about shooters: Lords of Thunder

Lords of Thunder is great but also really hard. Granted I can't immediately think of any good but fairly forgiving things on VC. Final Solider is pretty fun and a bit more towards the easy side IMO.
I can't remember is Blazing Lazers on VC? Man that was the bomb shooter back in the day. Not to mention the soldier blade games.
I have been thinking about using next year to just fill out the TG-16 and Neo Geo libraries and go all in on the Wii VC, but I don't think I can squeeze all of that on to the SD Card, because it is limited to 2GB right....
Air Zonk is another good, not Super Air Zonk, but the regular Hu-Card one, I got confused and bought Super and was sad I messed that up.
Air Zonk is also badass, definitely. Speaking of which, Max, sort of an obvious recommendation, but if you haven't played the Bonk games, especially the first one, that's an excellent platformer and just a little different.
SDHC. 32 GB, probably enough room to store every game on the eshop!
Too bad Star Parodier was delisted. It was the best SHMUP on VC and fairly easy as well.
Steel Empire is going to be on sale for $15.99 (reg $29.99) starting tomorrow.

The game looks fantastic but the price has always been a huge turnoff. Anyone have any opinions on whether it's worth it at $16?
