Same day as Luigi's Mansion 2 and LEGO City Undercover. Thanks, NoE, for a drought followed by a downpour. :|

Why put a demo out a different week if they're releasing the same day in America and Europe!? Oh well, shouldn't complain. What I'd like is a European price.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Np. I'm a big fan of the game, so the idea that a fellow gaffer might be on the production team got me.
Usually $= so expect 15

I'm sorry, I come from Poundland. £. So... £15.
Nintendo have a paralyzing, crippling fear of giving exact release dates. You know how many interns they had to sacrifice to Iwata-san so we could know Animal Crossing comes June 15th!?

Didn't play MM1 but MM2 I had no real problems.
For me the sliding was inconsistent. I'm used to being able to do certain things in game that the 3DS dpad makes more difficult for me. Dodging Needle Cannon during the Needle Man fight is one example. Precision sliding is a lot tougher on the 3DS than it is for the anniversary collection on the PS2 or even the original NES game. I did manage to get through the game just fine after I posted that though. There are only a few rough parts that I noticed that not being as precise on sliding is a killer.
- Needle Man's boss fight
- Needle Man's stage where you have to slide underneath the needles that drop down. Both the normal stage and the Doc stage have them I believe
- There was a part in Snake Man's stage where you have flying enemies that drop things down on you that I really struggled with and took a ton of damage from just jumping in place instead of sliding to get through
I was able to slide to avoid the tops that Top Man throws out. Was not able to really slide to avoid the second Hard Knuckle but that is more of a reaction time thing than inconsistent controls. I also normally slide under some of the Yellow Devil blocks but just jumped this time because I didn't feel like risking hits. Also used Rush Marine during that one aquatic sequence in Gemini Man's stage because I was worried about the slide consistency killing me.
Think today I'm going to abuse save states to practice this stuff just to get back in some good habits. I do think part of it is rust and part of it is lazy habits that I've developed playing the anniversary collection so much.
I'd say overall if you do love the series to give it a shot. It isn't as bad as I made it out to be.

Has Bit Trip Runner 2 come out on Wii U yet in Europe?

"Please understand"
still linked. I do this dance every month or so just for the coins. That pikmin transfer screen is awesome though.
If you're paranoid though check the Wii Shop's account info screen.
Awesome, thanks!

Not actually that important
Where's the demo thread? On mobile here
Bought a cheap hard drive for the Wii U, and having some problems. I was able to download and install the Chasing Aurora demo just fine, I transferred Might Switch Force HD over to the HDD(as a test) just fine, but I've tried to install the Monster Hunter demo twice now, and both times it gets to about 30% progress, and stops.
The Wii U isn't locked up, the blue circle is continuing to spin, but the progress bar refuses to move, and the estimated time remaining just continues to climb up about 2 minutes, every minute. I'm going to try and download it directly into the Wii U memory later and see what happens, but anyone have this problem?

Ok you guys, here's the deal.
Click this link.
Yacht Club Games are ex-WayForward guys.
Shovel Knight is their first game and it's on Kickstarter.
Jake "Virt" Kaufman is working on the soundtrack. He did the music for Contra 4, Shantae, Mighty Switch Force and Double Dragon Neon.
It's currently PC only but they have stated plans to release it on 3DS and Wii U next.

I'm not sure of the specifics, buts it's a western digital. Just purchased and installed Little Inferno no problem. I'll look for the GAF thread.
It's actually been confirmed that it's going to be on both Nintendo systems, officially. By that Nintendo site that you Go to.

Shovel Knight is RIIIGHT up my alley.
3DS or Wii U though, that will be tough decision.
E: Oh, not confirmed. S'all good, I can be patient.

It irritates me to no end that Wii space is limited on the Wii U. I have 16 GB free, but I can't download Last Blade 2 or King of Fighters '98 because I don't have any space.
Just what the Wii U needs, shovelware!

Thank you, I'll be here all week.
Oops. Well, I personally consider it enough of a lock to not worry about it, but what can you do.

SD Card Menu, my friend.
But yeah, I'm glad that Wii and DSi digital content was transferable (LOL PS4), but it's done in such a sloppy, crappy way.
I don't personally find anything wrong with DSi content on the 3DS (XL), but am annoyed that I have to go to a separate mode just to play Wii games.
Cosmic Highway, an exclusive Wii U game, needs a little help.

Yeah, we know that you have your own special way with words
I'll hold you personally responsible if the simultaneous release for GBA games or the unified account system doesn't happen.PixyJunket

How many DSiWare games do you have?
Yeah, we know that you have your own special way with words
I recall saying that I only hoped that the GBA would be a dual-system worldwide launch, but yeah, take full assault on me for anything else.Eleven. I know the inability to run games off an SD card is a pain, but I haven't run into that yet.
Edit: Is it me, or is there a new "Popular Videos" slot on the bottom row of the American eShop?

They actually did.
unless I misunderstood you. In that case, I apologize.
I see that they have, however they had originally posted much the same as Nintendolife. I can only assume that they have now received confirmation as the post reads "Well that didn't take long! Last night we weren't sure Shovel Knight was coming our way, but we had a good reason to think they'd make their way over. Today we have confirmation that the title is heading to 3DS and Wii U."
Y Cable. Only had an issue with the MH demo so far.

Maybe, they were still linking to Nintendolife as their source. I'd be happy to play Shovel Knight on my 3DS

I had errors downloading the demo too, I believe. Pretty sure it was my crappy connection though. It would stop and there'd be a big red X and an error message.
Instead of deleting and starting again, I think I just exited Download Management and went back in and it eventually resumed. Had to do that a couple times.
No problems with the actual download. It only stalled during installation.
The first time I set it to turn off when it was finished, and left it for a couple hours. The second time I downloaded it, then manually went to install and it stalled in the same place. I'm going to try and download it to the flash memory soon, damn bandwidth caps though.
Edit: Little Inferno is a treat, I was already aware of what the game was, but it's great to actually experience the story and dialogue yourself. It's a must buy at $5 imo.

What kind of game is HarmoKnight anyway and why should I be excited? Demo's not out here, damn.
Is it published by Nintendo but who are the devs?

It's a rhythm platformer game sort of like Bit.Trip Runner. It's developed by GameFreak who make Pokemon.

Haha, cool
Ooohhhhh... You had me at rhythm platformer, comparison with Bit.Trip Runner makes it a potential day1, but also made by GameFreak it's just too much! :Q,,
Which region? NA, I guess. NOA's press releases are so terrible.
EDIT: of course it's NA, you listed the price in $USD. Duh.
