Medli should be available now on Wii U as well, yes.

However, the new Wind Waker adventure map is 3DS only if you bought the season pass or whatever Nintendo calls it.

Weird how Pixeljunk Monsters is just now coming out on Wii U. Great game for anyone who somehow hasn't played it yet though.

Also, a related story: one time at GameStop they had this trade-in deal where I noticed that the trade-in value of PJM PSP would actually end up earning me more than the game cost, so I proceeded to trade it in and immediately buy it back for a dollar or two of profit. I think the cashier was onto me...

I think Medli is part of a patch update? I got her via downloading the 1.3.0 update for the 3DS version, which mentioned her in the patch notes.

....yeah, looking it up, she's part of the 1.9.0 patch for the Wii U version.

Is anyone else seeing $29.99 (or $34.99 in Canada) as the regular price for Return to Popolocrois now?

Also, I somehow managed to forget that I owned Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and got a hair up my butt to buy it tonight, even cashed in for the 15% off thing on My Nintendo. I feel so, so stupid right now.

Did anybody notice that Nintendo changed their official Facebook name to Nintendo Console Gaming? What does this mean?!

I don't think I understand what I'm seeing but congrats and good luck and I look forward to giving it a go.

Also, I like the tag line on the trailer.
Think physics based puzzle game of trying to get the star safely to the ground by removing the other blocks around it and avoiding the obstacles (like the blades)

I have an idea on how to make thing more clear. Unlike ZaciSa, funny enough, I know how to solve this issue going forward.

Ah, now the preview makes sense to me! I was confused too ._.

Sounds fun, and the music is great!

Has there been any sales on Wii U compatible HDD lately?

I'very been thinking of either getting Splatoon or Smash Brothers.

After extensive research I learned that unless you're going fully digital with 20+ plus games and need over 500 GB, you don't need a HDD. Flash memory works fine on WiiU despite Nintendos warnings. Just buy a name brand stick and you'll be good. I recently switched from a portable HDD that died to 128GB SanDisk Cuzer flash drive and have noticed no difference in loading the games. It was $25 for the flash drive versus at minimum $45 external HDD on eBay.

I put my most favorite games with save files hat I don't want to lose on the internal memory and everything else on the stick.

I've been doing this as well for probably about a year, but with a 64 GB stick, and haven't had any issues. As a precaution, I also keep my save files on the internal memory.

Oh wow, guess I'll give that a try. Need to redownload DKC Tropical Freeze, Wind Waker HD, & a few other things since I had to download all the Xenoblade X data packs.

I was gonna try a 16GB USB stick I had laying around, but people were like "NO, that'll wear out a lot faster!" At this rate, I think a 32GB should do just fine.

I got up early today to squat this thread for the waiting game on the EU PR.
As always when I do that, the PR will probably be late and utterly disappointing.

Popolocrois sale, come on!

Futuridium EP Deluxe (Mixed Bag) - €9.99/£7.99 (€7.99/£5.99 until June 2)
Futuridium EP Deluxe is a psychedelic retro-inspired shoot’em up with a modern twist, that blends together frantic action, puzzle elements, a vibrant low poly aesthetic and an heart pumping electronic soundtrack. As a lone starship pilot lost in a dimensional loop just before a big space battle, with a limited and constantly depleting energy tank, your only hope is to fly as fast as possible over enormous space dreadnoughts, destroying their defenses and the cyan power cubes to get some energy back. Try to escape the infinite loop of Futuridium: you can count only on your reflexes, your dual lasers, the nimbleness of your starship and... the ability to turn 180° on the spot! Can you beat all the 50 levels, the 5 bosses, unlock all the extra game modes and collect the 150 medals? Good luck! You’ll need it...

White Mage reminds me of Rosalina.

Funny enough, Mario Hoops came out over a year before Super Mario Galaxy. So either Nintendo decided to tweak the design, or it was just a happy coincidence.

............or maybe Rosalina is secretly a white mage which explain how FF (& then Slime from DQ in Sports Mix) are in a Mario game, meaning they're all part of the same universe, which is the only way Fortune Street makes sense.

Same thing happened to older NISA published Atlus games on PSN (P4G, Dragon's Crown and Tears to Tiara). I've had a theory that it's a fire sale since they're losing the rights after the partnership is ending, this only makes me more suspicious.

First sale ever and it's a permanent drop to 10€? That doesn't just happen

Yay time to finally get Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures! Should I go Wii U or 3DS?

I loved Mario Hoops 3-on-3 on DS, I usually can't stand touch-screen games but I fully got into that game for some reason. I'm not even a huge Basketball fan, I just really enjoyed playing Mario Hoops.

Love the Nintendo x SE mix. Wish they would do more. :(

Yeah I think you're on to something, a permanent drop without a single prior sale is very odd...
