If I buy an eShop game on an 'empty' 3DS then transfer my 3DS to that system, that game is just deleted forever right? Not like playable still or anything?

You can redownload the game, though. It's now tied to that machine (and then your NNID if you put that on there).
Pre-installed games are re-downloadable. Maybe it works for other games also, as long as they're not tied to an NNID.

Don't buy it with an NNID. The NNID you transfer to that system will only absorb it if it isn't already tied to another NNID.
So, if you bought it ages ago without an NNID existing on that system, you're fine. If you're asking if you now have an NNID on that system, buy a game and then transfer an NNID from another system to this one, you'll lose the one that's currently on there along with the games tied to it.

Was just wondering if it was possible to make this new 3DS I'm about to transfer to set to UK so I could buy and download Binding of Isaac, then somehow still have it playable on the system after I transfer my NZ 3DS across to it and (with my NZ NNID etc) in turn making it a NZ 3DS after that.
The crazy schemes Nintendo make me try and imagine up because of region locks and Nicalis not bothering to rate the game for my country etc! :'(
Its a completely empty, new factory settings etc new Zelda 3DS I'm transferring too, just picked it up a few days ago. So doesn't have a NNID or anything like that.

Thank you. That's very helpful.
I would play them on a second playthough, so probably all difficulty categories might be nice. And with the packs it isn't as expensive as it seemed.

The country switching is bound to create a problem for you there. Otherwise you'd be probably in the clear with buying a game without creating an NNID (iirc that's still possible, just not getting freebies like demos) if it were the same country. After the transfer, the NZ NNID makes you connect to your NZ-specific eShop which means it can't deal with Isaac anyway because it does not know what that is.
You're better off begging @nicalis on twitter to do the trivial legwork of getting their shit together and sending Isaac through IARC.

I actually already asked them awhile ago if now because of IARC would it be possible to get the game released in some other countries but never got a reply. 
They probably don't even know what IARC is knowing them.
This was much easier before NNIDs and I could just switch whenever I wanted.

I wonder if you can buy DLC via the new web browser shop.
At least then you can buy cheap DLC without having to own the game. And if you're just buying a license you'll probably be able to get around the painful space requirement measure to buy a game and just install it whenever you want.

Not gonna happen on 3DS because DLC is bought in-game on 3DS.
DLC also has no presence on the websites, you can only buy stuff on the websites there. It's actually all just the game pages with a purchase link. Wii U DLC has a tiny chance of being added to a part of the table.

Honestly, the only way forward is by politely annoying them. But then again it's fucking nicalis.

There are some promotions on the European 3DS eShop I'm interested in that the eShop claims end on 31 March.
Does anyone know at what time exactly they usually revert the prices to their regular ones?
Edit: Christ, I worded this like shit. But yeah, at what time do sales usually revert?

After finally coming out in Germany I bought Dark Witch and got completely addicted to it. Cleared every difficulty and challenge and it was pretty damn good. The game on Lunatic is probably harder than any Mega Man I ever played.
Definitely up there with the best 3,99 you can spend on the eShop. Thanks IARC

I've been playing The Legend of Dark Witch recently too. I beat it with both characters on the Easy difficulty. Lunatic must be very hard in this game, especially with Riva.
I've been playing Poker to unlock stuff in the Syega Shop, and I think it's great because it pays very well if you get a good hand.
I also recommend the sequel if you can get it. It is quite a bit easier, but a bit longer and with more features.

The stages don't change much, but the bosses and especially the final one.. takes a lot of patience and you can't really mess up due to the upgrade system. But it's very rewarding in the end!
I also spent way too much time in the Poker minigame. It's a really smart how they built the challenges/Syega/Poker metagame around it and it definitely motivated me to complete it. I'll definitely pick up the sequel in the near future.

Yeah, I think the bosses get new attack patterns on higher difficulties. And yes, you really need to enter the final boss powered up at least on the higher difficulties.
The metagame of Dark Witch 2 is what really hooked me. I played it for around 40 hours the first month I had it. I still have to go back and try to finish some things.
I've been playing poker in Dark Witch 1 because I want to buy the +4 health so I can play with the maximum health allowed in the game, but I'm currently down about 100 "coins." (Edit: I got 4 of a kind! So I'm pretty close to 1500 Syega now)
I was going to bump the official thread, but I guess since you brought it up, I got to talk about it.

Pokemon Snap and Densetsu no Starfy 3 out on Japan's Virtual Console next week
Oh my goodness.
If you wanna play it, it's on the Wii Shop in Wii Mode. (And less darkened.)

I'd be rather surprised if this releases without the ability to save photos to the SD card (which is really what they should have done in the first place).
50 Hz Electric Boogaloo.

If you can share photos on Miiverse or upload them on a server, it doesn't need that feature.

Would love to hear some more impressions! Thinking of picking it up myself once My Nintendo is live tomorrow.

Do eShop deals usually end when the eShop updates or at the end of the day?
DK SNES VC 50% off ends 'on the 31st.'
Just wondering if you could wait for Nintendo Account to go live before purchasing...

That's not Xenoblade Chronicles or Super Mario RPG, NoA!
Why they gotta bust on me like this

They do not, in fact.
Wow that's super shitty.

Couldn't you just use Miiverse?
One of the games we're getting tomorrow on 3DS is Justice Chronicles, a traditional JRPG by KEMCO for only $9.99.

It... actually looks quite good. Putting it on my wish list for when I'm more cleared on my current backlog.

SWEET! How much? Been wanting to play it again. Can it use my Wii saves if it is on my Wii U?

Note: this is not an officially announced thing. It's just an obvious thing because it's tied to Miitomo (Sakamoto involvement).
Also, all Wii games cost the same (20 bucks) and all Wii game eShop versions can use Wii disc save data. Always the same.
Thanks for the valuable info!

Kind of a dumb question, but was Mercenaries Saga 2 delisted on the german eShop ?
I swear, I saw it on there and held off when came out. I tried to search for it a week ago, but it was nowhere to be seen.
Maybe I'm just stupid and imagining things.

I think it's normally when they update the store.
I was also playing the waiting game but I just bought the DK games cos I wasn't sure when the new account system would be in place and the points gained for ~£10 probably isn't worth that much. And I'd kick myself if the discount ended.
That looks to be the highest quality game they made, if the story is better than their other games then I'll have to give it a look.
On the German store offers always end one hour later. I assume that's the same in all countries using CET.

Ah, so I must have seen the Pegi trailer and assumed it was on there. Thanks !

Tempting. This was one of the games on Wii that I missed.

Because it's built using Nintendo Web Framework and HTML5 as part of an indie developer program which the 3DS is not included in.

Of course NOA has to break the pattern again lol.
