Support NeoGAF

[nicoga3000]

I really want to pick up Bomberman 64, but my WiiU is on CFW. Is it possible without messing up the work I've done?

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

NAM-1975 is a little dated because was a launch NeoGeo game, Shock Troopers is a must have.

Both are fun to play with local multiplayer.

Shock Troopers and NAM-1975 are essential Neo Geo games.

Thanks! I think I'll check them both out.

RIP Qbby amiibo

Already bought it from Amazon.co.jp, since I wasn't sure it'd release here. Wonder if it'll still unlock anything in the U.S. release of the third game.

You can download it just fine. If you changed your dns settings to avoid auto updating you'll need to change them to access the eshop. Just change them back after you buy and download the game.

Everything it unlocked will be now unlocked by either completing it 100% or having BOXBOY and BOXBOXBOY save data.

Woah Blaster Master Zero is on 3DS? Thought it was only on Wii U/Switch.

Swap Fire for Wii U is currently free, at least in Canuckistan: http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/games/detail/swap-fire-wii-u

Hmm. I hope they know what they are doing, cause each new download costs them $2.25. So even if all this ends up "selling" is 100, that means they actually have to pay Nintendo $224.85.

It's marked as free for US too. Also, apparently not even out in EU. Which is odd, since ratings (UK, Euro, Germany, Australia) are 100% free. Game can still be in English (Manual has to be in French, but most of that is pre-translated and provided by Nintendo and game description has to be in French too)

 

[PtM]

Wassup guys, any new consoles while I was gone?

How does BM Zero compare to Overdrive?

 

[Experien]

Shock Troopers is GREAT! Never played it before today and it was a load of fun. Can't wait to try it co-op next.

I've been hearing that the move of the EU Nintendo eShop PR to Thursday is permanent. Well... that is fun.

At least it seems we still have a full PR. The US is a joke compared to EU.

Mondays will be shit again.

Makes a lot of sense but still sucks.

 

[Robin64]

I wouldn't mind if it was Thursday morning (it's still not as good as Monday), but last week it was after both nintendo.co.uk and the eShop itself had updated. Not really a good PR at that point!

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

They could at least update the Coming Soon section of the Switch eShop on a Monday :'(

 

[Robin64]

They could at least let the Switch eShop count towards that My Nintendo Mission. What, Nintendo, you want me to pull out my OLD HAS-BEEN machines to get some points? Scoff.

 

[tolkir]

[Shard]

Is that a typo? Is Terranigma coming to the Wii U VC this week?

 

[tolkir]

Nop, it's a joke.

 

[TheMoon]

Is that a typo? Is Terranigma coming to the Wii U VC this week?

Yes, Skunk Software acquired the rights from Square Enix. It's finally happening.

 

[Shard]

Nop, it's a joke.

Suspected as much.

 

[Bazry]

I actually thought Windjammers was coming to Switch then

I have changed a little because I don't want to break some hearts.

 

[Phoenixus]

I guess we'll likely see the odd title here and there confirmed for Thursday over the next few days, so the wait shouldn't be too bad.

Spoiler

Played the hell out of Zelda so I really need something new and not ridiculously overpriced.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Haha I'm home today and just went to do this... both my Gamepad and 3DS are completely dead.
That Switch effect!

 

[Conrad Link]

Didn't trick me!

I knew it was a joke from the very first line when it said Binding of Isaac was coming out on the same date as America.

 

[Robin64]

Anyone ever got eShop cards from Amazon UK? They claim to have £15, £25, and £50 but they all say "Current unavailable". What I'm wondering is, are they ever actually available? (And surely they'd be a code anyway?)

Basically I have a lot of Amazon credit saved up and I'd like to get some eShop goodies with it, but the only downloadable titles they stock are 1-2-Switch, Snipperclips, and Zelda.

 

[Robin64]

Also this week has two more Turbografx games for Wii U VC.

 

[Robin64]

Wii U also has Sky Force Anniversary this week.

The legendary shoot-'em-up is here to celebrate its 10-year anniversary in super-destructive style. Harnessing the intensity of classic arcade games combined with modern visuals, Sky Force Anniversary offers a stunning scrolling shooter experience with an incredible new social gameplay element.

This 10th anniversary edition adds incredible depth to the series through stunning 3D graphics, intuitive controls and a powerful upgrade system that'll keep you blasting for hours on end.

 

[oatmeal]

What day does Switch get games now?

 

[Pokemaniac]

What day does Switch get games now?

Most digital stuff will release on Thursday. Retail stuff tends to come sometime during Friday.

This isn't to say that stuff only shows up on those days, but that's when you should expect most things.

 

[Xenoboy]

Anyone know how much Binding of Isaac is gonna cost in EU?

 

[Robin64]

Anyone know how much Binding of Isaac is gonna cost in EU?

We don't even know the release date yet.

 

[Rizzi]

Anyone know how much Binding of Isaac is gonna cost in EU?

Pretty expensive. You have to build a time machine first.
Nicalis has a poor track record with regions outside of North America. So I wouldn't really anticipate it releasing on the eShop for your area this week/year.

 

[Xenoboy]

We don't even know the release date yet.

Oh, I meant in the US, messed up there.

 

[Robin64]

Oh, I meant in the US, messed up there.

Ah right. It's $39.99.

 

[Xenoboy]

Ah right. It's $39.99.

Wait, this is for the E-shop right? If so, damn.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wait, this is for the E-shop right? If so, damn.

Includes all the DLC too. The extra $4 is just for the physical cart (even if you go digital).

 

[Robin64]

Wait, this is for the E-shop right? If so, damn.

That $10 Nintendo tax

(Based on Steam showing as $31.58 after conversion for me)

USD $35.97 complete bundle actually. So unlike Rime, this is more fair.

This. $4.00 additional for a physical edition and manual is very acceptable.

Three more games for NA this thursday.

Good news! All three Tomorrow Corporation games are going to be on US eshop this thursday.

http://tomorrowcorporation.com/posts/we-have-a-switch-release-date

Those of us in Europe may have to wait a little longer though, but who knows, it could be this thursday too!

I really want Human Resource machine but I know i'll get stuck and give up quickly!

 

[GulAtiCa]
