Though others already have, I'd like to just confirm that my deleted Wii Fit U Trial is still available to download again.

If you happen to want a disc copy, I just stumbled over a store today that was getting rid of the Fit Meter+Game bundle for €5,00 (yes, no typo) .. :D

So, what's the deal with all of the Life of Pixel copyright use? Is it all fair use or does any of this come near infringement? I'm a little surprised it's even on the eShop but maybe I'm totally in the wrong here.

After redownloading it and booting it up again, is it still the unlocked full version?

I'm pretty sure that's determined by the save data.

eShop games can get DMCAed. It happened to Meme Run (amusingly over the troll face). That said, I have no idea what the situation with Life of Pixel is. Are there any examples you can point me towards?

eShop sale is over tomorrow. I'm eyeing Captain Toad, M&L: Dream Team, Mario Golf and Fantasy Life. Realistically, I can only justify buying one of them. Anyone have thoughts?

Life of a Pixel may have permission, for whatever part your talking about. My own game has 3 permissions granted, for example.

Is there anything going on? It getting taken down? Or just curious if cause it had some?

Btw, how is Shantae and the Pirate's Curse compared to Risky's Revenge? At the very least the trailers I've seen seem to suggest that Shantae is a lot faster in this game? Also, is the Wii U version just a scaled up version of the 3DS game?

The gimmick behind Life of Pixel is that each of the levels take place on different pieces of video game hardware and I believe they may make use of actual emulators as well (not sure on that, they look accurate to the hardware anyway). This isn't just like 16-bit land or anything: The game says you're playing the Super NES stages, tells you about the Super NES, uses a sprite based on the Super NES. There's like eight consoles in the game, three of them Nintendo consoles.

New game? What is this, Star Fox 3D...? I was nearly to the end of the game and got a game over and my save is...rendered moot, I guess? Blegh. Ain't nobody got time for that, lol. I don't want to restart they game. I know it'd not that long but it's really a bummer that there's no perma save. I didn't understand that or I would have been more conservative with my lives. 😕

I'll probably just try again but meh. If I don't beat it I doubt I'll try a third time anytime soon.

They prob got permission. Trust me, Nintendo is REALLY strict on Lotcheck with permissions. Esp if it's their own ip.

After turning it down the other hundred times it was on sale I finally caved on 1001 Spikes for 3DS. The screen flicker is pretty annoying but I'm digging it.

I really enjoyed Captain Toad and I'm currently playing Dream Team. Captain Toad was very good but a little short (12 hours for 100% and I'm a slooooow player). Dream Team has a slow start but it picks up later. It's fun, varied and seems to be pretty long (I have 10 hours logged and I think I'm not even in the 1/3 way to beat it).

If you want a long adventure then pick up Dream Team. If you want a fun (but short) puzzle game then pick Toad. Either way they are 2 very good games IMO :D

Just to add on to what Orgen said, I beat Dream Team with 55 hrs clocked and only enjoyed it more and more as it went on. Didn't get 100% either--maybe 90% or so? I'd like to go back to it at some point but just haven't gotten to yet. Really loved it though. The NPCs are amazing and hilarious.

While I like Dream Team in general I thought it overstayed it's welcome a bit. Compared to the other Mario & Luigi games, it is a bit bloated.

I bought Dream Team last night. Figured it wouldn't be any cheaper than $27 on the eShop for a while.

I won't touch it until I've gotten everything out of Fantasy Life. (Not everything...but at least until I've had my fill.)

55 hours? And not even 100%? brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr hahaha I see there are a lot of beans to collect and I still have 4 zones to visit... y god, it's going to be a long journey! (I made just the first colossus battle with Luigi).

Took my 3DS out of the rice, and... WELP. Good news/bad news. Good news = it works. Bad news: Left button on the d-pad is stuck. Right button does not work at all. And I don't have a phillps-head small enough, so I can't open up the back to see what the deal is.

You can get a cheap hex set with a larger and a small screw driver at Lowes or Home Depot for under $20. Worth buying just to have. I got a Kobalt set that I use all the fucking time, and it has all of the weird bits that people look for sometimes like the star and shit.

Yeah; I think I'll do that. If the damage is irreparable, then I'll drop $200 on the N3DS.

Good thing about the purchase is it's something you'll just have for multiple uses. You don't have to feel like your wasting your cash on something if you can't repair your 3ds as the screwdriver set will come in handy for all sorts of things!

The GBA version of SSF2? Well that's....interesting. Wonder how long until that comes to the US.

That also marks it as the FOURTH version of SF2 (3 of which are on SNES: SF2, SF2 Turbo, & Super SF2), plus the 5th SF game since Alpha 2 on SNES is there as well.

.............well six if you want to count SF2010 for some reason.

Any news about Mutant Mudds SC release date? I only have $12 and may be without internet for awhile starting the 28th or 29th and wanted that before then but I guess like all Indie games it'll miss its release date. :p :(

The real PSN
Vita
thread has the same monthly format as this one and is in community as well. The PS+ thread is just a madhouse full of Knack jokes and disappointment. It really serves no purpose. The thing that always confuses me is that "Fighting Games Weekly" is allowed to have a weekly community thread in Gaming, but pretty much no one else. Not gonna pretend there isn't a Sony bias, but this isn't the case here. :)

So I just finished Child of Light on Wii U, and I have to say that it was alright? I probably made the game harder on myself since I was playing on hard mode the whole way, but the story didn't make too much sense imo... and the parts that did were sad =(.

I really didn't enjoy it myself. Thought it was pretty overrated. Maybe I set my expectations too high.

It was pretty good for a £15ish game, the art is great and the battle system is complex enough to feel challenging in boss battles/difficult battles- my girlfriend described it as a storybook Sleeping Beauty game which I thought was pretty appropriate. The game is pretty easy on normal mode and we didn't even use all of the stat increasing stardust items. The ending was definitely rushed though.

I'd love to see a fully developed sequel.

Just went to Nintendo's site to see if the VC games were updated yet. Star Fox Command, which I think they announced earlier. I still might get it, as I never played it.

Looking at the upcoming releases, Fatal Frame is going to be eShop only? Instead of box-art, they show an eShop-style icon. Sorry if old but I wasn't aware of that.
