The Zelda: Dire Moon theme is gorgeous. It's even accompanied by a snazzy rendition of the Song of Healing.

Nope, normal prices.
When do new themes usually go up? I wanted the look at the MM themes but there's nothing in EU.
It is nice... but do I wanna replace my skyward sword theme tho...

Wanted to check it out, but it didn't make its way to EU.
It's in the PR, so I guess it launches tomorrow with MM

Nice goosebumps
I recently redeemed a code for Super Mario 64 (from Club Nintendo) on Wii U with the Wii virtual mode thing, it said I needed a classic controller. So I decided to switch to my normal Wii system with GameCube controller but there is nothing about my download for Mario 64 in the Wii history. Is it only available on Wii U now or something? Seems weird why I can't have it on both systems. I would think both systems would have the same game download history. Any help would be awesome.

Why would your Wii and your Wii U in Wii Mode have the same accounts when the Wii had no accounts to begin with? If you did a system transfer from Wii to Wii U's Wii Mode you know that everything was deleted from your Wii for a reason.
If you cashed in that Mario 64 code on your Wii U's Wii Mode then that's the only place you can play it. Gonna have to shell out for a Wii Classic Controller or one of those third party GCN->pluginto->Wiimote adapters.
So I should have redeemed on the Wii first then I'm guessing? Really not familiar with the Wii systems to be honest, helping out my gf and she had some Club Nintendo points to burn.
Talked to Nintendo support, sounded like it was possible to transfer it to the Wii? or was he mistaken?
Thanks for the help btw.

Read my post above. You have to redeem it on the machine you want to play it on. You cannot transfer anything back onto a regular Wii.
Gotcha, thanks again.
I have my themes on rotation. It's the best way.

As said by the deb's tweets: the sales for PMR have been decent. That + "them being big N nerds" made them go with Wii U first for their next effort, an action game.

Apparently the author of PING 1.5+ is currently trying get his game out in Europe. He has started a small (very small of $650 goal) crowdfunding to help achieve this.
Just thought I give you all the heads up. I played the game and really liked it and have been recommending it for a while (though 1 downside is the unfair difficulty curve, but patch will fix that)

It was on sale one time like a year or two ago when I picked it up

Thanks Moon! Wow, that was a while ago. Well, I'm in no rush I suppose. Might as well divest my physical copy, even if I get the digital one at full price eventually it should still be a profit.
It is not. I don't believe they've launched preloading for 3DS yet. I wonder when, I seem to recall them saying it'd happen sometime this year.

preloading is Wii U only.
I got it and I like it quite a bit. It's different but apparently it's 60 levels and I got through 50 in maybe an hour so you're not getting a great value. It's also a bit bare bones -- you launch after the first boot-up and the game just plops you into the puzzle you were on. Maybe after you beat it you get a menu or something, but as I see it now it's a bit stripped down.
With all that said the game concept is neat and you're not going to find that in any other game. Check out the trailer in the eShop. I think it's neat and everyone with any interest in puzzle games should try it. But if you're on a tight budget I can see not dropping $7 on this.

Like all their other releases thus far, Majora's Mask will be available at 9 PM pst correct?
MM3D will, yes. First party titles only, so MH4U won't be up til 9am PST.
So what's it like? The impression I get is that it's like Cave Story, except where Cave Story would occasionally dip into a remarkably dark plot, Knytt Underground occasionally dips into reams of gratuitous swearing.
Where cave story is a platformer shooter, Knytt Underground is more of a platformer puzzle like game. One that is slightly self-aware and makes fun of itself. (not really a comedy or antyhing, but makes suttle jokes and doesn't take itself too seriously).
If you've played NightSky on 3DS before, you kinda have a general idea of what it's like. As made by same people (note Nicalis did the 3DS port, while they themselves did the Wii U port). Similar structure, though you play as an actual character that can move on her own, but with similar mechanics. Though unlike a single level type game like NightSky, this is a open-world type game (think Toki Tori 2+) with interconnected world of lots of level screens!
Think Metroidvania except you can climb walls and can't attack except with the rare one-use powerup, so most of the focus is on exploration and avoiding hazards. It's very atmospheric, and while the dialog can be sophomoric, the overarching plot isn't bad. There's a ton of hidden areas and just finding them and clearing the map can be fun, plus there's extra areas with extreme challenges based on grappling, hazards, etc.
If you've played Knytt or Knytt Stories (both free on PC) you know partially what to expect, just with a lot more dialog and mixed with the mechanics of Within a Deep Forest (also free on PC.)
If you're in Germany, you can get the Dire Moon theme from the Nintendo Zone for free

Doesn't work if you spoof it though

Do designs carry over when I make a system transfer to a New 3DS? Because I might visit the McDonald's around me.
Yep yep. They act just like downloaded titles and move over

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
NintendoGAF, how EXCITED is everybody for Majora's Mask 3D???
The release date slipped me by almost completely until earlier this week, didn't even preorder it like I normally do. I think this is my most anticipated game this year, have avoided replaying the N64 version in anticipation! Gonna rush to Best Buy right after work to make sure I get a copy!

Getting mine next Thursday-Friday for sure. Mine hasn't even shipped yet, my cheapness has won over hype.

Sell a kidney to cover the cost.
Or sell your copy of Chrono Trigger
Hah, no one would want anything from my body - it's all defective >.>
And I'm already selling off some video games to pay bills >.>
