Super awful. Nothing in the game works. Horrid platforming, bad aesthetics, worse music, poor world design, and execrable bosses.

Wow, I feel the exact opposite of how you feel. Amazing Platforming, Awesome aesthetics, great world design, and good bosses. The music isn't bad, but that's where two beats both. Two just has the best music bar none. Best in the entire 16-bit era I'd say.
not to mention the best water levels of the 3 games. The way coins in two was handle was a bit annoying, much better handled in 3. The secrets were craftier, I just felt that over 3 was better than 2. I'm in a small minority, but I didn't enjoy two as much as one or three.

>"Amazing platforming!"

Lol. It's funny because water levels don't need platforming!
Worst part is that isn't even true with DKC2 levels like these:
"Awesome aesthetics"
Coming off DKC2's great pirate theme this was like The Country Bears or something. Horrible. Expected Kiddy to bust out the banjo at any moment.
Look how awesome this is:
"Great world design"
The overworld was pointless and annoying. It was the obvious herald of Rare's collectathon-crap nature which ruined DK64 (among other things.)

Was I under the mistaken impression that the Wii U's software library was going to be fully available digitally ala the Vita?
Because I'm only seeing the first-party Nintendo titles on this tentative release calendar. And not even NG3 Razor's Edge is on that list despite being Nintendo published.

The list is incomplete, although I don't think all third parties will be on the eShop from day one. Sucks that we don't know for sure who will be, if any.

Would say DKC2 at best might be worth a look, but don't bother with the rest. Especially DK64.

I felt 2 rose above it's pretty bad collision detection with inventive level gimmicks (among them, roller coasters~) and overall aesthetic (which 1 and 3 both lack.) Otherwise, sure.
lol aesthetic in pre-rendered SNES games. An uglier thing has never existed.

Aesthetics aren't the same thing as graphics.
Colors 3D free update incoming. And it has been a fantastic success ( over 500k paintings just the 3DS version!), it seems.

I dunno if its due to just coming off from the night shift or the fact I'm sick as a dog, but I read that as Donkey Kong 94 for a brief moment and was close to going into rage mode.
DKC2 is the best out of the bunch great soundtrack and some ok platforming, that said the gameplay is average at best and there are really much better platformers on the VC to play
Also yay to Picross for 100 coins, awesome little game

It's pretty good, although its puzzles are available in Picross DS which can be nabbed for 5 bucks.
Was worth my money on Mario's Picross either way though.

Someone solve this DKC mystery post haste!
I'm not going to comb through all of this but I must mention that the game absolutely teaches you that Ellie can suck up water from both standard water pools and waterfalls in two different levels you have to play before reaching the boss of cotton top cove.
Other points are mostly valid.
Those swines would get my money if so.

You say including DK64 as if that's the one people find not shit.
I thought I was in the Nintendo downloads thread but clearly this is the Nintendo LIES thread.
Graphics are part of it, and they're ugly as sin.
Donkey Kong '94 is a masterpiece, partially due to not being made by Rare.
Can be nabbed for $5 in this beautiful magical dream world where Gaffers seem to live, in which Picross DS is common and there's at least one good Donkey Kong game on SNES.

Well I guess we'll agree to disagree. I thought DCK3 was great and you didn't. You thought DKC2 was great and I didn't.

I like DKC2, you should play it sometime...before the 25th November.

Not in my playthrough, and I took very close note of things like that.
Sorry if I was being indelicate but opening the conversation with saying you want to kick someone in the nuts won't usually generate a warm response.
They're OK for what they are, and the themes and music play them up as well.
I don't find a world of difference between how nice the crystal caves in DKC2 look and, say, the levels in DKCR. DKC2 is lower-res but that's the only handicap in that example.

I assure you, Alaska is a real place. So is GameStop.
The DS Picross games don't exist here either.
I nabbed Polarium DS for like $2.10 the other day, though. That was cool.

Well you have to play Bobbing Barrel Brawl and Tracker Barrel Trek before reaching Squirt's Showdown, nothing else to really say here about that, the game throws up big banana letters in both stages to nudge you towards maybe pressing said button to hoover up the wet stuff.
Don't lie.

Man I loved Polarium, I bought it the day it came out and kept me hooked for ages, the local multiplayer was heaps of fun. I'm glad it came out in the post release drought for the original DS, between that, Star Wars Return of the Sith DS and Bomberman I was set for a few months till Kirby and the other big games I had my eye on started rolling out.
And mind just blown, I didn't realise the guys who made Polarium also made Sujin Taisen: Number Battles on DSiWare, had soo much fun with that one as well, never was able to get an online game with it though
. Didn;t enjoy their other DSiWare game Wakugumi though, just didn't click with me the way Polarium did.

Right, and I didn't learn it then. Maybe not specifically poor game design, but not great either. Aside from that, Ellie is just a bad animal friend. And having to use her in that boss battle was ridiculous.

Its a early DS Puzzle game (first puzzle game for the system I think) have to make all the black and whites squares on the board match colour by drawing one continual line on the grid. I think it was around 100 puzzles and you could make and share your own puzzles via codes the game would give you.
There was also a challenge mode where you would have blocks falling down and have to make rows of the same color to clear them

It is a pretty bad boss, in fact they all suck to a degree, i'm with you there.
Back to the regularly scheduled download talk then.
Maybe i'll pick up Fallblox/Crashmo soon, yep.
So I have a quandrary: I just bought Style Savvy to download, but it's like 15,000 blocks - I've managed to delete a few demos but I'm faced with this decision:
- buy a new 16GB (or greater) SD card, but I'm poor for the next few weeks...
or
- delete Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, along with it all my save data, obviously.
HELP!

Copy Layton and your save data to your computer.

Well I guess that's why the damn demos were so big, yowza. I should consider getting a new card at some point with how much digital purchases I do.
Anyway copy dat data to the computer, and get a 32GB son.
Backup your SD to your computer and then download Style Savvy, like Roto13 said.
But how I wish that save files were separated from the game itself.

listen to the mad man
They actually are. If you dig into the SD card and find the folder where each game is located, you'll see a separate file for th save (I think it even has a .sav extension). However, games are stored in folders using cryptic codes so it's not easy to find out which folder belongs to what game.
but if i save everything to computer, put the SD card back in, delete Layton on my 3DS, download Style Savvy and start saving data, aren't I stuck with one or the other - I can never merge save data for both Layton and Style Savvy?
That would indeed be handy to know. But yeah, I wish save data was saved onto system memory.

They are slowly killing the wii shop... So you rebuy ir on the WiiU.
I hoped they would figure a way to transfer the game to the pad, but i guess it won't happen.

So, is it true that the 3DS prepaid cards are the same/will work on Wii U as well? If so I'd like to buy one for Sunday....
If you figure out which file on the SD card is for Professor Layton you can just add that single file in with your Style Savvy file after you get a larger SD card.

Aim for "class 10" speed. The size is up to you. Sandisk is a good brand.
Not exactly. The information about installed titles is stored in a single file in the SD card, so merging cards or copying individual games from one card to another is impossible.
It should be possible to backup Layton's .sav file, delete the game using the system settings, then later on re-download the game and restore the save. I never tried this, however.
Here's an easy and safe way to check if it works:
- Make a backup of the entire 3DS folder on a PC;
- Delete the game in the system settings;
- Make another backup and compare it to the first backup to find out which folder is missing. That is the game's folder, make not of it.
- Redownload the game from the eShop;
- Put the SD card in your PC;
- Go into the game's folder in the first backup and locate a file with the .sav extension. This is the save file. Copy it over to the SD card, overwriting the save file there;
- Check if the game works. If it doesn't, just restore the first backup you made.
I bought one recently from Amazon, Class 10 from Transcend, 32GB, 20 dollars if I'm not wrong.
