It's a secret pleasure button. Had we pressed it more often, we would've gotten Kirby along with everybody else. I also heard if you press the TVii button three times while the GamePad is upside down and then launch a 50Hz VC game it turns into the 60Hz version.

Reminds me of the Chat Gem in Diablo 2.
That was all the rage during Beta.

You can watch live-TV. Through an app. It's pretty much pointless. In Japan, TVii functions as a sort of TV-guide instead. In Europe it doesn't exist. It's just a button on the menu that does nothing.

Not quite. You still need live TV on your setup. You can't even watch tv from the gamepad. It's a glorified TV guide with a message board function for certain shows.

heard the WiiU version is the best?

For the most part.

It's missing the custom music feature (or, rather, it has it, but it has no way of accessing said music), but it otherwise has everything the other versions have plus a lot of extra stuff.

Stop the pessimism people!!! And Nintendo, if S-E doesn't want to release Terranigma I'll be ok with a Stunt Race release (at 60fps... sweet dreams).

I went back to that recently. I'd basically 100%ed the game back in the day. Now I have no idea how I even played it at that framerate...

I don't normally moan about eShop pricing; though I know some people consider the SNES and GBA games to be a little expensive, I personally don't.

However, I do think £18 for Wii games is just a bit too much.

I'm sad because of no Pokémon Shuffle. Guess it won't be a worldwide launch.

Do wonder if the US date turns out to be correct. Newsletters aren't the most trustworthy sources though

It is nice that the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call DLC was mentioned this time. It looks like the 6 songs Japan recently got and 6 more. Of course without game names and the fact they retranslated some track names for no reasons means it might be a bit harder to figure out what everything is.

I'm also passing on Kirby which NOE will take as meaning nobody likes Kirby and not nobody likes paying £20 for Nintendo Selects releases without a disc, box or even usable on an actual Wii.

As for Activision. Like isn't this sale price what the games should have launched at? Plus Warner at the same time? I nearly missed the Atlus sale which reminds me, since NISA Europe will never do a physical reprint can't Atlus claw back the rights or keep the digital rights in the future?

So, Shin Megami Tensei IV will be on sale every month?

Nothing for me this week. Might try the Citizens of Earth demo on my New 3DS which I can hopefully get tomorrow.

Same here. I have some time attacks records (with the motorbike of course) that it'd be top 100 worldwide for sure. But the framerate now is unbereable

Kirby is still 40€ retail here, so I don't think 19,99€ is a bit too much. Besides, you have Snes games at 8,99€ (or 9,99€) and N64/GC games still to be released, so if you have Wii games at 14,99€ (hypothetically) how much would cost a N64 game? And a GC game?

I'm sad because Atlus didn't release Etrian games here.

NIS America mustn't know that eShop sales exist.

Preach brother! We'd have Atlus sales every three weeks and I'd have 3 Etrian games on my 3DS...

Nice sales btw but Nintendo could have had a sale with Lego City too :|

Wow at those Wii U 'Price Reductions'

The older Batman games have been less than £10 in previous sales

I would have picked up Kirby for half price, won't bother at full

A discount for people who own the SNES-Version would be nice.

As for the additional content in the GBA-Version:

The Game Boy Advance version, released simply as Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts in North America and Europe and as Chōmakaimura R in Japan, features an "Arrange Mode" that enables the player to choose from redesigned levels and bosses based on the original Ghosts 'n Goblins and Ghouls 'n Ghosts, depending on their success in keeping the bronze armor, or a higher difficulty tier of the standard levels set upon keeping the golden armor. Unlike the Normal Mode, in Arrange the Goddess' Bracelet is already accessible during the first playthrough. Unlike the Capcom Generations/Classics Collection ports, the Game Boy Advance port retains the slowdown of the original Super NES version, even in the redesigned levels.

Full price is half price...

Your only other way of purchasing the game is spending about £35ish for a physical copy.

Man, this thread went fast from "Kirby Fan Club" to "Not worth $20." Bunch of crazy Europeans in here... Don't complain later when Kirby is ignored by NOE! This is one of the best Kirby games, period. You should be hoping it thinks you're worth it for $20.

The point is at €10 it would be a must buy nut at €20 it is something that can wait because there is a non zero probability it will eventually be cheaper. If I was dying to play it well it is the best option on the table but still a disapointing price compared to the intro. Speaking of which did we really need two of the three intro games to be titles that are already cheap due to being Nintendo Selects titles? Back when they first announced the programme I said it was non-physical Nintendo Selects and I think this will remind people that is indeed the light.

It should do a lot better than Sin & Punishment 2 though (now there you've been able to find physical copies for cheap for years).

I totally expect NOE to take from this that Kirby is the problem and not €20.

A sobering reminder of perspective here is Japan will never get Metroid Prime Trilogy and will have to buy the games individually (as that is how their Wii releases were handled) at 2500 Yen each...

Will check Harmony of Dissonance screenies for off/on tv play and might pick it up for some metroidvania before bed. Since kirby is "full" price I'll delay the purchase since I am still juggling with other games.

The game is excellent and well worth the price but people don't seem to agree. I don't see how that would be a wrong conclusion, then. If this was Xenoblade or something, I'm sure there wouldn't be any fuss about the price.

Gives all the fucks
I'd just like to point out the cheapest you can get Kirby's Return to Dream Land/Adventure Wii on Amazon is about $53. GameStop is $50 new OR used (which makes no sense, used should at least be $5 cheaper).

Now granted, should S&P2 get released for $20, I will agree that's too much when physical versions are about $12 on Amazon, or even $10 new at GameStop, $5 for used.

I bought SMG2, DKCR and MPT despite owning them all on disc, because i'm someone who prefers the convenience of having digital copies on my system and for £8.99 each the incentive to buy them on release was there. At full price at launch, I can pick it up at anytime, or even wait to see if it eventually goes on sale.

Nintendo seem to have these great ideas now and again, then just fail to follow through with them from one month to the next
