I'm talking Wii VC (WiiC) vs. WiiU VC (UC?) on these latest releases.

I think these always look worse in screenshots. I watched the new trailers on YT earlier and in motion it doesn't come across as bad.
Yeah, i mean right now it's only $2 cheaper than MH4U, which is really tempting me

Will my old Wii work on a flat screen HDTV? Also do they sell eshop cards for the regular Wii?

No, those 100 million people all still owned tube TVs
If you're in Europe, the eShop cards can be cashed in on the Wii Shop, too. I don't think that's true for the NA equivalents. And you won't find Wii / Nintendo Points Cards in shops anymore anywhere.

I'm in California. I don't have a credit card so I'll have to ask my mom or dad. I want to try Mega Man 9 & 10. We just moved, so all my disc games are in storage.
I think they're on PSN also if you have a PS3.
BTW, if you're over the age of 18 or living independently I strongly recommend you consider getting a credit card. Keep a reasonably low balance, pay it off every month, and you'll build credit and get some cool cash back rewards. Just some food for thought. 😊

I do have a PS3 if it didn't get lost in the move. But the Wii is here with me now, so if I can set it up I should be able to use it.. I have Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Metroid on it.
My parents took away my credit cards when I started living in treatment centers 3 years ago. First in Vermont, now in California. It kind of sucks but it's my own fault for being psychotic.
And I'm almost 29. But have never kept a real job for more than a few months.
(Cross-over from the mental health thread, hehe.)

If you can still find one of the "Wii Points" or "Nintendo Points" branded cards, those would work on a Wii. The Wii and DSi currency system is completely separate from the Wii U and 3DS one, so anything that says "eShop" on it won't work.

I haven't seen any of those around. I buy my eShop cards from a 7-11.
My housemate uses the TV a lot anyway. I might not even set up the Wii until I move out.

You're probably not going to find any Wii Points cards in actual stores. You could probably find some online if you look hard enough, but, at that point, you're better off just buying Wii Points directly with a credit card.

Oh okay. Even Amazon.com says they're currently unavailable.
Yeah, me too, sorry. Seems like eshop cards indeed won't work.
Buy a $20 MasterCard gift card or some similar thing. That should do it.
aren't you in Canada though ... I hear everything is opposite there.
heh ironically I think Wii Points cards, unlike other currency cards, actually are the same across both US and Canada
so I could get somebody from the states 2000 Wii Points for $20 Cdn potentially... that's like what, $15 US now?
Yes that's me. I want that. Please. I'll PM you.
I used to buy US points cards because the dollar was even and they were still being sold in Canada for $25 so yes, it does work. (Also there's a great example why us Canadians are so uptight about keeping pricing fair, our cards were an extra $5 for no reason.)

Hope the US gets Mario RPG soon.
Also, I heard it was good, but never played it---Super Princess Peach. That'd be nice to have on the eShop.

I read it was so-so and rather easy.
This is like the perfect eShop game -- positively reviewed, notable but vastly overlooked, not interesting enough to buy when it was new, not good enough to pay the cost for a physical copy today.
Adorable and wildly inappropriate at the same time. Peach's powers are the powers of emotions or PMA or something.

My GF loves Super Princess Peach and every day wakes up wishing for a sequel.
I think she would really enjoy playing it again on the TV, just for an excuse to play it again heh. I hope they do it soon.
I love the game too! But her love for it is of the scale.

Mother 3 right? Or maybe Zero Mission? Or both?

Wonder if tomorrow's game will be like Earthbound with the big press release and such. A guy can hope.

I'll remind folks here also; the Famicom theme codes that come with Ultimate NES Remix on 3DS expire tomorrow.
They're on your eShop receipts if you bought it digitally, and on the other side of the box sleeve on the left side.
Similarly, tomorrow is the last day to get a free theme with Steamworld Heist. Not sure if/when the code expires.

What do you mean "fucked it up"? The game themselves? No, they're excellent and I think each game in the original trilogy gets better than the one before. The ports? There's not much they could fuck up. These are GBA games ported to DS now ported to 3DS. The only real difference is the graphics now have 3D effect and the sprites were updated to the original art (with all the animations, unlike the iOS ports, I think). It looks pretty nice, despite what some might say. Go to it's Miiverse Community and check out some screenshots if you want to see what it looks like in 3D.

Guys, the world does not revolve around NA. If there were a big game, it would be out everywhere. And definitely not on a Holiday. Stop with the crazy.

Just being optimistic! You never know. We got SMG on X-Mas Eve!

I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that a Mother 3-type megaton would not happen on Dec 31 and only in one of two non-JP regions

Going by past ones... You're right, Europe would be left out again. :V
