Same here, I'm finally ready to buy OOT after finishing MM.
amazingly instead of giving me a refund they've taken the money out of my eshop account & removed the game from my Wii U. so now I've paid twice for a game that I no longer own. called them up and they are denying it all. wtf
EU's getting Flying Warriors and Little Ninja Bros? I hope we see those in the US. I'm sure both games are super janky nowadays, but I'd pick them both up for the nostalgia alone.
And on the DS list, might be worth including Sega titles as well. Sonic Advance came out in Japan, and will presumably make it to the rest of the world at some point, so I could see all their GBA and DS games coming eventually.
Would be nice if they'd bring the Genesis to the Wii U VC, but...

Have you used a credit card to transfer money (30€
to your eShop account? Maybe they took the rest (15,01€ of it to refund your credit card? I'd call again. If it's been a mistake it's documented in your account and NoE can look it up for themselves and fix it.

But then again, VC is generally played by older players, and they have age data on this. So it could be the US version despite the original orientation of the game.

Give me Super Baseball Simulator 1.000
Have you used a credit card to transfer money (30€
someone mentioned that possibility to me as a joke, I can't get the numbers to add up but it would be so Nintendo-like if that is what has happened (what if you had spent the 15,01€ already!?!). Customer service said they didn't have access to eshop accounts so couldn't track what has happened, good on a privacy level but hopeless on a help-the-customer level.
edit: ooh didn't know you could track eshop account history on 3DS - definitely been charged twice, at least I have some evidence now.

100+ hours in an N64 game is impressive. I guess I should probably hunt one down at some point...
In other news, that Humble Bundle is delicious. $10 win.

This is really awesome. Any clue how many more games they would add? I have nearly everything on the list already. lol
That's awesome and utter trite that it's region-restricted.

Took me a minute to figure out why this was posted in this thread...
Well, that was unexpected.
It can be beat in around 50-60 hours probably, if you're not too concerned with taking your time and exploring or such.
My most recent playthrough was like 145 hours.
Yeah, I never had much of a problem with Aidyn Chronicles. But with JRPGs being all the rage for consoles around that time, I can understand why a more hardcore WRPG-style game would have thrown people for a loop if they weren't expecting the kind of trappings that came along with it.
Not that it will ever happen since THQ is dead and I doubt anybody bothered getting that license, but it'd actually be neat if the game would be much more fondly received now that those kind of games are much more prevalent on consoles.

As far as I remember, it was pretty much:
"lol RPG on N64"
"lol remember Quest 64?"
"lol look at those blocky graphics compared to this movie"
"lol who has time for this?"
And that was pretty much the end of its coverage.
There definitely were some legitimate issues - such as bugs, crashes, and save corruptions.
But, it was an extremely impressive effort of a game, which never really got much attention.
I would love if it could be brought back, if more could be done in its world, or if we could just see more console games like this.
I remember EGM and such covering it early on in the dev cycle, but a lot of it was
"Oh damn, look at this game, it'll be super cool when it's out. An open world RPG for the N64 sounds like the bomb"
*gets delayed for a billion years*
*comes out without fanfare*
"THIS GAME IS HARD THIS GAME LOOKS OLD THIS GAME IS CLUNKY 2/10"

Yeah, to be fair, its release timing certainly didn't do it any favors.
Still though, I don't feel like it would have gotten much of an effort from the gaming press regardless.
After all, IGN criticized Shadowgate 64 for not having "Pigcops" or an "urge to blow away a videogame bad guy" or "having neither the @ss kicking guns nor worthless bad guys to blow away as we patrolled the hallways of castle Shadowgate with our controllers set on Turok-style, perfect for destruction" >.>
Of course the wrestling RPG is going to dominate.
At least under the assumption that Ogre Battle isn't in the running, because that's not a fair competition.
... You serious? I mean, I already have Guacamelee/Mighty Switch Force HD, but I am totally getting this!
Whoa! Well worthy of a thread if there isn't one.

Earthbound 64 will be the greatest!
One day you guys!
One day!...
(Mother 3 is incredibly awesome... But still...)
Ew.
Reminds me of this:
I'm glad FF7 onwards didn't make it's way to N64.

Can't believe people are still calling Nintendo out of touch. Aren't they the only ones to have done a Humble Bundle at all so far?

Ew.

I know you changed avatars, but you're still my EB bro <3
I disagree, though :þ
I would have loved to see Earthbound 64 in addition to the Mother 3 we got for GBA.
I knew I was forgetting something.
If you include that, OB64, and the two Zelda in a rather broad definition of RPG then Hybrid Heaven is only the fifth best one on the system.
Already own it, so please enjoy

Well, seems like NoA tried at least to make it a WW deal. Sounds like we might get more of these at least, hopefully in other regions.

Since I don't want to venture in the humble bundle thread itself, can anyone give opinions about the games in the bundle? I already played through Guacamelee on Wii U and loved it. I own SteamWorld Dig and started it. Any impressions on the rest? (Stealth Inc 2, The Fall, Olli Olli, Woah Dave, Moon Chronicles Ep 1, Mighty Switch Force)?
How do i check eshop account history?
MissileTrick
Member
Sounds like it still works
go into 3DS eshop, 'Settings/Other' on far left, scroll down and open 'Account Activity'
Woah Dave wouldn't be worth playing if it were a free flash game, and Moon Chronicles is really barebones unless you buy the DLC. Everything else ranges from decent to great.

There are no duds in this bundle.
Stealth Inc 2 is absolute top-tier quality, The Fall and OlliOlli won a ton of awards, Woah Dave is a neat little Mario Bros.-style game, Moon Chronicles Ep 1 is a neat sci-fi FPS, MSF is a cool action platformer.
