I have to say, for all the conveniences of going digital, it's nice to see that you guys still experience some of the frustration we physical collectors go through sometimes.

We're not so different after all!

haha I decided to just give up on going physical... might as well let the stuff go to someone who appreciates them better.

and I'm beginning to appreciate more and more the lack of clutter :X

and hey, digital distribution is a problem because some publishers/distributors just have no logic (looking at you Nintendo and Disney -kingdom hearts-)

How often are there sales on 3DS?

I am a returning 3DS owner (sold my old 3DS ages ago and now have a N3DS) and would like to get some games.
But it would be better to get them on sale.
What are the chances of seeing SMB3, Picross and similar on sale?

Another question. I tried registering my old user Nintendo-ID: Arkeologen, but that was not available.
I am pretty sure I erased my profile completely. Shouldn't the name be available then if nobody else took it?

Feel free to add me: 4356-2605-7222.

SMB3 has been sale once or twice now. Picross, well Mario's Picross is a Club Nintendo reward, but not sure on a sale. I know the Picross e# games haven't considering I've been hoping they'd be discounted.

Probably the best bet is to wait for eShop cards to go on sale at Best Buy or somewhere, which they do occasionally.

April 1 is coming fast. I know I personally stopped buying anything Nintendo on 3DS or Wii U until we know what the club Nintendo rewards will be this year. Combine that with them not announcing any possible replacement until who knows when; I won't be buying anything from them until then.

It just wouldn't be fair to anyone who buys the stuff now when others down the line can get those same games (possibly cheaper) and with rewards points.

Edit: my first post!

Try the NNID on the Miiverse web site (assuming you ever used Miiverse on the 3DS it should work) using your login details. That will tell you if the NNID exists. As for erased it completely what do you mean, did you format the system? That is only a log-out.

You said it was a long time ago so you are certain it is an NNID and not a Club Nintendo account.

Finally, you can't use an NNID on a different 3DS without doing a system transfer or getting Nintendo to move it.

Edit: I wrote some quick thoughts on Tengami which I knew going in was short but not this short over in the 52 games thread. I don't even know if I would recommend buy it for the sale price (I personally paid about that) but you are unlikely to see better price on a Nintendo platform (honestly had I known about Steam release plans I would have skipped it on Wii U entirely and waited for Steam sale (TM) or Humble Bundle (TM) )

Way to go, terrisus! Congratulation, maxcriden! Seriously thinking about co-opting my 320 GB HDD that's not really being used for the Wii U, even if 200+ GBs would be sitting there unused. :p

I would get you one if I could too.
Always loved your posts when I was lurking SalesAge back before I registered.

Oh, please don't. I have HDDs. I think max's situation was that he'd have to buy a new one for it. I just have to convince myself that it's worth it even if there's a lot of unused space. Used to have a 180 GB HDD used for the Wii to hold games, but it eventually burned out. Would've used that for the Wii U without question. Nice to know you remember my more frequent postings in Sales-Age from years past. Always loved the NPD stuff most (since it's where I'm at), but that's diminished a lot over the years. There's still Japanese stuff to track, but it's more fun when it's your home territory. :)

on other news, seem like my local game store has the Nintendoland + Super Mario 3D World WiiU bundle... but it's pre-installed on the console/no code... sighhhh

Of course it's worth the unused space, silly. Since then you can fill it up! :þ
Seriously, I know I still have a bunch of unused space, but still, it's worth it to not have to think about space when purchasing something.

And, yeah, I started lurking here around the time of the Wii's launch. I was still busy over on Nintendo's NSider message boards, where I was a mod, so I mainly just lurked here for SalesAge. When NSider closed down in late 2007, I didn't really feel like joining another message board for a while, so I just kept lurking and didn't register. And lurking, I still pretty much primarily lurked SalesAge, since that was the most interesting stuff to read without actually being able to post.

Once I finally did register, I posted a bit in SalesAge, but it was too hard for me to keep up with, what with posting everywhere else as well, and so I kind of lost track of things.

But, SalesAge back then was fun, what with the piles and piles of numbers, and the interesting discussions and analysis and such taking place and everything. I know Media Create still gets that (and, of course, it was an interesting time settling between going with Famitsu or Media Create numbers, and who would post them, and the Pac-Man charts and everything), but the NPD thread is nothing like it used to be (while, granted, it's fun trying to figure out console sales from vague hints and limited solid numbers, I miss having actual game data).

But, I rambled. The general point is, I felt like I knew a whole bunch of you very well despite never having really posted along with you, and once registering I just kind of went in a different path with my posting. Ah well...

Any opinions on the 3DS version of Citizens of Earth? I've got a couple flights this week and don't know whether to give it a shot or play it safe with a few VC games.

Wow, Punch-Out is expensive considering I picked up the Wii disc version for £3 of so.

The 3D Classics sale is brilliant. I was close go buy a few of those games a couple of days ago so glad I waited.

Having never played Metroid, is Zero Mission worth getting?

I've also heard good things about the Shantae games, but need to weigh up whether to get on Wii U or 3DS.

Great week.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Awesome sales...damn i need to get on some of those 3D classics, Shantae and the Phoenix Wright Trilogy.

Haha, I forsee using a fair bit of dosh this week. :p Wonder if there are any eshop cards on offer anywhere.

Really wish each Wii game would start out at a tenner like the first three did. Punch out would have been far more of an impulse buy at that price, but in this case I'm more hesitant.

Too many where to choose:
- Metroid Zero Mission
- 3D Out Run
- 3D Sega Classics missed on sale
- Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney™ – Dual Destinies
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
- Mighty Switch Force!™ Hyper Drive Edition
- Mighty Switch Force! 2
- The Fall

Goddamn! Zero Mission coming and I don't have enough money.

Wanted to ask which Mighty Switch Force to get because I only wanted to buy money to have ~3€ if Weapon Shop de Omasse goes on sale. But now I might bite on Shinobi III...

Someone make a thread about those EU 3DS sales! Not to piss off US 3DS owners, but to spread the word, those SEGA 3D Classics are excellent and coinciding it with Outrun's release is a nice idea. I may also just grab Altered Beast despite it being the weakest game among the bunch lol.

ALL OF THEM!
Honestly I can't recommend just 2 they're all great ports, but depending on what genres you like
Action: Shinobi 3 & Streets of Rage 1
Racing: Super Hang-on and Outrun
Shmup: Space Harrier and Galaxy Force
Platformer: Sonic 1

As already said, Metroid II, Prime Hunters, and Prime Pinball can't be, but I'd like to mention that theoretically, they can be if Nintendo were to release Game Boy and Nintendo DS games on the Wii U Shop. They could also release Other M digitally at some point.

I love the subtitle, for what it's worth.
Suck it, haters.

NOE is gonna take all my money this week. All of it. And more. Dem SEGA sales, dat The Fall, dat Zero Mission. Already bought Punch Out!! twice, though so no need for a digital copy lol.

Probably going to grab all the remaining Sega 3D classics. Including Out Run, obviously. Possibly my favourite game of all time.

And the Phoenix Wright Trilogy. I've played all the originals, but just found out that you can play this version in Japanese. A good excuse to revisit them, I reckon.

Is it possible to gift games on the EU eShop yet?

Amazing week for Europe. Doubt MZM will be released this week due to Steam in USA. That's fine. That game needs the spotlight.

However; NOA has definitely improved with DKC and cross buy. 2015 has been an amazing year. No need for complaining if no MZM this week.
