Looking at Kami, Paranautical Activity and Legend of Kay. Do I need any of those?

Kay is pretty run of the mill, I hear.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Still no fucking Pinball Arcade for EU... what a (not funny) joke.

Btw, have they even released more tables after the initial release on WiiU USA?

 

[Pokemaniac]

Kay is pretty run of the mill, I hear.

I can confirm. It's decent, though definitely a product of its time.

Thanks, gents. I have Kay for PS2 I think, so...I'll hold off, then.

Still debating on Xenodrifter. Thanks to whiterabbit for your impressions of that one...did you end up liking it once you got a better sense of what to do in it?

I think Xeodrifter is a really mediocre game: something we've seen done better (and cheaper) a million times in the past few years with indie releases. I have it on PS4 as a PS+ game and I even uninstalled it.

Xeo, not Xeno.

I wonder how many sales they lost because people typed in Xenodrifter and went away

$5 better saved, then. Grazie, Dash.

I think sometimes I've typed it correctly. Maybe....

[Zonic]

Oh right, Boxboxboy is out tomorrow as well. I keep forgetting that along with the fact I have it pre-loaded to go so I can play as soon as I wake up.

Also, I would gladly rebuy Super Mario RPG if it meant I could have a portable version.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Super Mario RPG will be bought this friday.

Bring on Chrono Trigger amongst others

 

[RedBoot]

what's the next releasebeg game?

Been waiting for Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon myself (since Europe got it roughly one year ago). Thought it might happen last week or this week because of TMS, but nope.

That being said, the best releasebeg game at this point is basically the rest of Square Enix's SNES output, which numbers 15+ amazing games at this point, most of which we never got on the Wii VC either. We can dream, I suppose...

 

[Niraj]

Finally. Been waiting to upgrade that shit for ages.

Best news of the day! It's been so long since I played this one, and it's totally jumping the line of next games I'm going to play!

The Square RPGs (or NES-Tetris if I had my way)!

I would recommend it. Xeodrifter is a fun little 'Metroidvania' and I believe it's available on both systems...you'll even get some gold coins for it, I think.

I enjoyed it a lot when I finally got around to trying it out again.

not just that, it's also cross-buy.

 

[Vanillalite]

Xeodrifter is based as fuck.

Is it Guacamelee or Ori? No

It's charming in it's own way though as it's simpler and stripped down.

The main complaint I could see is it's short. For $5 though I'd cop.

 

[Massa]

Hey guys and gals, quick My Nintendo question.

I want to buy the DKC Tropical Freeze discount with gold coins, it says it expires July 1. Does that only mean I have to buy the discount before then, or do I have to actually buy the game too?

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Paranautical Activity is actually really addictive. I would recommend Ziggurat though. Same premise, MUCH better.

 

[Zeeman]

Well, I'm glad I already owned Super Mario RPG on the Wii and can just pay the $1.50 transfer fee, because it's $11.29 in Canada

Have they ever considered releasing Pokemon Pinball on 3DS eShop?
Not making this available seems really odd to me.

but neither have Wiimote aiming -__-

seriously, devs. what the fuck.

it being 6 bucks on steam during the sale right now instead of 15 on Wii U also doesn't help :/

bonus points for all these options though (from actual Wii U version):

Yep, Persona Q, the Etrian Oddisey games (I and IV?) and Soul Hackers I think?

And knowing that Sega Europe doesn't publish anything from Atlus... I fear the worst :|

Tried the 7th Dragon demo last night.

It's solid, but it's def not my cup of tea.

I was actually wondering when Wii U would've seen the other episodes' releases. Everything in one single day, it seems. I wonder when the new episodes will be released as well, then.

 

[n64coder]

Glad that those people who like SMRPG are hyped about the release on Wii U. Personally, I never got into SMRPG even though I enjoyed M&L DS/3DS series and the Paper Mario games.

I'll be picking up BoxBoxBoy today.

BBB OT going up soon. I only have $9 and change in my eShop wallet. I need more $$ in order to use my JFY Metroid Trilogy discount I just got. Anyone want to trade my Yoshi's Woolly World for your eShop cred?
