Oh right, I bet the 3D Classics sale is to celebrate the fact July is getting Streets of Rage 2, then August getting GUNSTAR HEROES YEEEESSSS then Sept. is Sonic 2.

It'll be interesting to see if it includes the Wave 2 stuff like the Fantasy Zone games, Outrun, & such. I just know I'll nab Sonic (might as well go for a complete 3D Sonic collection, plus it has the spin dash so it's worth replaying) and Galaxy Force II after all the positive response on GAF.

It mentions only Sonic & SoR, both of which were Wave 1 games. Wave 2 came out between Jan. & May, so I imagine some of them might be "too new".

What are the chances of Star Fox 3D and Paper Mario on the Wii U VC going on sale (and if so how much do we all think the discount will be) when their respective new games release?

I suddenly fancy playing an arcadey style Star Fox game or getting around to buying Paper Mario, but I realised I could probably hold off and wait for a better deal instead of impulse buying.

I could've sworn Star Fox 3D has gone on sale on the 3DS eShop a few times. We've yet to see N64 games on the Wii U go on sale.

Don't count on VC games going on sale. Those are rare. Been a few, here and there, of course. But I wouldn't count on a new Nintendo sale, esp since they just had a sale. Maybe in Nov/Dec.

The only company I see put VC titles on sale is Capcom & waaaay back when Nintendo did those 30 cent sales.

It's possible, but very unlikely. It would be better to wait for the next big Nintendo sale. Also, I think Star Fox 64 3D was just on sale as part of the E3 sale.

You're right, Star Fox 3D was on sale for E3 for £28, down from £40 ¬_¬

Superstar Saga got a sale too, so they might not consider Paper Mario 'valid' for a sale (since it is technically a Mario & Luigi game).

Guess I'll just chance my arm on eBay instead.

Advice for EU: When you delete your free version of Kawashima you can redownload the updated Virtual console version from the eshop for free.

Any thoughts on shiftlings or star fox command?

Speaking of SF, beat Andross on the easy path in SF3D. Solidly fun but I haaaate that no permasave system. I liked the game otherwise.

Which mode did you play it on? I was sure you can carry on if you lose too many lives in 3DS mode compared to N64 mode, no?

Nintendo just put some VC games on sale last week.

There was also Nintendo's Smash character game sales last fall, which included Capcom (Mega Man), Bandai Namco (Pac-Man) and Sega (Sonic) VC games on Wii U and 3DS.

Way back on Wii VC Sega also sonehow managed to do a sale on some their Genesis games once.

Oh right, I keep forgetting Nintendo DOES do sales, but it's usually for the same games.

Will have to see what 3D Classics games are up after I finish my college final. Still deciding if I should get Space Harrier &/or Super-Hang On along with Sonic & Galaxy Force II.

Speaking of, which are worth picking up? I have Shinobi 3, and of the other ones I've only played the original Sonic way back when on the Genesis. I was always more of a Sonic 2 guy, but if this updates the game more (spindash please?) I may be interested.

Never played it but I've heard 3D Galaxy Force II is fantastic. Going to get that along with Space Harrier... for now.

Will QA for food.
I might get Partners in Time. I know it's regarded as the worst M&L game, but it's one of the few DS titles I never got a chance to play that I wanted to.

I thought PiT was regarded as the worst.
Most people usually only complain of the pacing issues that DT have and unskippable tutorials.
It does have excellent gameplay, which PiT on the hand doesn't really have.
And anything beats the Shroobs
, seriously fuck the Shroobs...

AKA one of the ones NOT on sale. ;p

But yeah it's all the Wave 1 games. Wave 2 (After Burner II, both Fantasy Zone titles, Thunder Blade, & Outrun) aren't on sale since they were released this year between the months of Jan to May.

I'm tempted to grab Star Fox Command purely because of what I've seen of the various endings, which all appear to be batshit insane

At least it works and has a lot.
Stone Shire has just an empty small barren "world" with nothing to do for $8!

Better to be a direct clone that features near everything then a clone that features nothing.. Lol

Some of those icons are lifted pixel for pixel, though. Crazy what you can get away with, haha.

Nice they got it working and stuff, though.

How ugly is Dtar Fox Command on a big TV? I remember it being the second best Star Fox, and it seems like it could play decently on Wii U.

Haven't played Dream Team (and don't intend to, for the next couple of years at least) bur PiT is the very definition of a middling, average game, bit boring too and drags too much overstaying its welcome. I've finished Bowser's Inside Story this week and even tho it's much better and a good game, it cemented my opinion that Superstar Saga was the best, a great game and all you'll really need as far as this franchise goes... it didn't need a sequel and for as many new attacks and gimmicks you can throw in, in the end the games are all very same-y,

I actually was looking over some of the nintendo indie corner stuff and noticed there's a dev chat with you in it :) (didn't have the time to listen to much of it, but I also noticed the Stone Shire dev was there in that same chat lol)

Also any impressions of Never Alone? Heard it's really pretty but kind of broken/glitchy?


Also seems like an indie game called Roving Rogue is releasing on the eShop on 7/2.
