Quick PSA for Europe.
Yesterday NOE had a power cut shutting their website down. It seems in switching things back on something went wrong with Club Nintendo. It has forgotten any thing on your account after 10th September (which was when some maintenance happened, hopefully this means the fault is as simple as the wrong thing was switched back on) but still remembers what slips were used...
As a result of this I don't recommend downloading anything from the eShop that would normally give Club Nintendo points as chances are it won't exist if/when they restore the proper records.
They've not said anything about their plans (in fact the only tweets said it was down due to power cut they never tweeted it was back to normal...) and I really doubt they'll say anything on New Years Day.
So now that you know don't get upset if you miss out on 50 stars from Shovel knight or whatever.

It seems like they solved whatever issue they had.

Happy new year everyone! Come on SEGA, give me them SEGA classics come Jan. 8th~
You can upgrade a skill so it becomes stronger or learn another spell, but certain spells unlock once you reach a certain level.
IIRC you can't learn ALL skills in the game, but can re-assign your points to learn any skill you want. Don't worry about there being 2 types, just that they are skills to help expand the combat system, which IMO is a good step up from Darksiders 1.
In Darksiders 2 you can learn combat skills to help in battle, these cost Wrath (MP), you recover it by damaging enemies and each skill you assign has a different cost.

Best version of the game. VVVVVV is fantastic on 3DS! And fantastic in general!
That's just for the codes you have to redeem. You don't get any points anymore. The wording is poor. We've known about these dates since launch.
VVVVVV a fantastic game and the 3DS version is definitively the best one. I replayed it a few days ago and would recommend it to anyone who loves a.) challenging games and b.) good music. Give it a try!

Nintendo is having a sale!
I straight knew it would be after DDP ended. I wonder if DDP was their reasoning for less sales....hmm interesting.
Buying Shovel Knight.

Nowhere in there does it say sale. Don't you dare get angry if it isn't a sale. We know you have reading issues (DDP thread^^).
Slim pickings this week, just the two VC games and that's it? Is the Must-haves thing just advertising a featured selection of old games on the eShop this month?
I'll be picking up Pokemon Pinball.
Eh..? None of those four new sale titles are published by Nintendo, and dozens of games went on sale leading up to Christmas.

You didn't have SK already?! You're going to love it. (Happy New Year, bro!)
P.S. Nintendo not announcing what next week's VC will be means DKC is coming.
Double P.S. Happy New Year, NintenGAF! I hope you all get to play lots of wonderful games this year, and that a year from now we're all like, *damn*, that was the best year for Wii U yet. Splatoon was incredibly fun. We're still addicted to Mario Maker. Yoshi was even better than Epic Yarn somehow. SNES Remix 2 took the series to newly addictive and fun heights. That Nabbit Stealth game for eShop was amazing. Kirby exceeded even high expectations. And Zelda? Best Zelda yet!

Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but the press release sounds like Nintendo is having a sale each week in January. Unless they are just advertising select games each week in January..that's most likely it =/

Happy New Years!

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm just wishfully thinking there.
As for the PR, I did read that similarly but it's also a bit vague so we'll have to see if it means any sales.
That's what I'm thinking. Something specifically aimed at advertising past releases to new Wii U owners.
Isn't that my line?
Pinball's a definite... next Thursday when I get paid. Might give BC a spin.

You realize you can view this as YCG giving you a final DDP voucher to spend on SK specifically, right? And you didn't have to accumulate anything for it aside from time spent waiting for it since release.
that justification. are you serious with this shit? yeah I did realize that but there's a reason I didn't bring it up lol

Is Unepic any good?
I read a GOTY thread this morning where people didn't like SK. I was pretty surprised because I thought it was beloved here...
But the most hurtful thing is seeing lots of people not wanting an F-Zero GX HD remaster in the other thread
Damn you people!!!!

Yes.
pretty solid, can be difficult a little too much nerd humor, but overall a solid fun game especially on sale

Eshop updated. No surprise sales. Just a new set of four icons featuring Mario games, sonic, arcade games, platformers

Really does seem weird to do a weekly promotion of these games yet no discounts. Doesn't make sense really.

I've given up on Donkey Kong Country. At least we're getting GBA games (though quality varies) every week. Maybe they're rushing through them all so they can finally release N64 games... r-right?
It makes perfect sense. There are a ton of new Wii U owners who just got the system over the holidays. This is the perfect time for Nintendo to advertise the must-have titles to them so they can build their library, and since many of these games are the very reasons those people would've wanted a Wii U it's safe to bet many of them will pay full price, so there's no reason to discount them.

Or. They just got a Wii U and Nintendo could show them that they have sales, which makes the customer happy and encourages them to check back each week for new and exciting sales. Otherwise they log in and see games priced higher than retail, search for their favorite series such as DKC with zero results , and never return.
But hey that's the sensible and logical approach.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I get that. What I wanna know is do I have to go to the sub menu and tap the icon on the gamepad to use the abilities or can I assign them to a button?
They are assignable. I just don't know how to do it on WiiU as I played on PC. You most definitely put it on a button. I could have sworn it was the d-pad on my 360 controller
What exactly are you hoping to see on sale so badly that it warrants weekly complaints?
There are two pages worth of sales on Wii U alone right now (individual game quality notwithstanding.) Just because you can't get $50-$60 first party retail games you probably already own for pennies doesn't mean Nintendo doesn't do sales.
And for a new system owner, VC has a ton of great titles they can blow way more money than they want to on, even if their favorite classic game isn't on there yet because it's DKC or MZM or Mario is Missing or whatever you'll be demanding once we get DKC.
