Aaah, okay. Just feels weird playing so many Picross games on my 3DS, then having to get one for a console. At the very least, the gamepad & off-TV play make sense.

I bet it's 9 am PST. Just a guess.
I don't know, wasn't Metroid Other M a surprise release alongside Japan's already scheduled games? Not that I expect NoA to do this, but it's a possibility.
I had fun with the demo. If the port's any good I might pick this up.
This isn't as good as the GameCube one but it's definitely a really good game. If anyone liked Mega Man Soccer but wanted to see that player-stealing mechanic applied to Mario and baseball, give this a shot.
Try not to bitch too much about getting this, guys, it's a really fun game.

Bought my first 3ds virtual console title: pokemon tgc.
Only thing I don't like is that the "original resolution" mode is really small, far smaller than the original gameboy color screen

Any word on Wiimote controls? The thing was borderline unplayable on the GamePad.

Because aside from the "find the hidden object" bits, the game plays really damn well.
The baby.
Depending on your model of 3DS, it can range from slightly smaller to far smaller.
The original GB (and the GBC as well I believe) had a DPI of about 83, while 3DS XL is 95 DPI (slightly smaller.)
n3DS is 120 (much smaller) while the OG 3DS is 132 DPI, approaching the GBm's postage stamp-sized 144 DPI.
EDIT: Now that I think back on it, that game had tiny text to begin with, sometimes hard to read even on a GBC or GBA screen.
I haven't finished any of the 3D Metroid games, but I personally enjoyed the gameplay of Other M more than the Prime series. It feels closer to the 2D games.

Actually the final boss is a disaster but other than that it's a really solid game in terms of gameplay.

While the story is complete trash, and there are instances of poor game design peppered throughout, the core gameplay is solid enough to be enjoyable. It's not a great game, but it's not completely without redeeming qualities either.
Seriously though, this is one of the worst pieces of game design I've ever seen.
I generally liked the gameplay of Other M... the only things that really annoyed me were the gimmick of the final boss fight
and the slow tank segments.
I mean, I don't play action games for story, really. I could see why some folks were irked, but that really never bothered me much.
(Okay, they DID mention that move at the beginning of the game, but come on now...)

I have no interest in playing it, but by all means I want them to put it up on the eShop as soon as possible, preferably alongside other games, so we get it out of the way and it doesn't get a week for itself later on.

Exactly.
Isn't even a thing that gets brought up much in the actual game as much as the internet pretends it is.
Shhh. Let me make fun of it.
Got $123 in my eShop wallet. Was planning on buying Fire Emblem Awakening when it goes on sale, but now I sorta want to buy Smash Bros.
Decisions.
When does My Nintendo actually launch in Australia?

The Other M "worst game ever" meme in a nutshell.Shhh. Let me make fun of it.
Anyway, I didn't have a problem with the end boss, it was great. I guess some people didn't get the pattern?
Add me to the list of people where the gameplay was honestly rather good, & this is coming from someone who really only cares about Metroid Fusion (Super Metroid was well past my time (though it's still good) & wasn't into the Prime series).
...though granted, I don't feel like playing through the game again...
Edit: My Nintendo's now live & here's the games you can download after earning points:
- WarioWare Touched (3DS)
- Super Mario Land 2 (3DS)
- DKC Returns (Wii U)
- Metroid Fusion (Wii U)
- Super Punch-Out (Wii U)
You can see all the discounts here for digital titles.

I'm surprised I was able to make a My Nintendo account in Switzerland. I guess we're only excluded from Miitomo for now.
But it looks good, actually? Not yet reflected on the 3DS eShop tho? (can't check on Wii U right now)

Just bought SADAME on the webshop. I always hated entering my CC on the 3DS, so this is awesome
EDIT: And now it was automatically pushed onto the system together with Flipnote
Good job Nintendo

I answered that here. You just wasted coins.
Thanks for the answers guys
Moot point as the account is now live so I just scooped up the DK's before the store refreshed anyway...
What's annoying is, with no cart I had to buy them separately.
One for £7.19 which got me 10 Gold Coins.
The other then reduces to £3.59, under the £4.50 threshold, so I didn't get any coins for it.
If I could've combined the two I would've been able to get 20 Coins.
Ahh well, still pleased with the discount!
Bought all 8 SNES games, hopefully the amount of sales will encourage more promotions like this..... hopefully...

Correction: You get coins based on the default price, regardless of discount.
So I did get another 10 despite buying something for £3.59.
Very nice Nintendo! This whole system is pretty great so far...

is it possible to get my nintendo points from a physical game purchase?
Not at this time, no. I suspect NX physical games will include them, and that download cards may for Wii U/3DS. I don't think Wii U or 3DS will include them for physical boxed games.

That number sounds a bit high. It probably isn't really bigger than like 15 GB in practice.
Doesn't look like it.
It is implemented in the regular Nintendo website. Just search for a game and open its individual page to buy it.

Last I checked, that's not live in NA yet.
Ah sorry, thought you were talking about Europe. Don't you have already a web version of the eShop for a long time now?

Kind of. The catalog is limited and it doesn't have all the features you'd expect. The real web eShop is definitely still necessary.
The new Nintendo.com is iive. neat!

Ladies and gentlemen from Europe...do you want the chance to get The Beggar's Ride for Wii U for free? Well, I've just set up the thread about it. Check it out if you desire.

I think it's only partly up at this point. It pulls from our current balance on our NNID on Wii U!/3DS! That's new. Yay. I say only partly up b/c when I try to search for games a lot of them don't show up w/ the option to buy....
ETA: yeah, only partly up from what I can tell. When I try to check out with OOT3D for example, it doesn't draw from my balance.
