Fuck it, got Kirby.

 

[Vanillalite]

Will cop both Wii U titles today for my birthday.

It's not a great slate of games, but oh well. I have lowered my expectations finally.

 

[Vanillalite]

Anyone else find it hilarious that the Wii games are 50 coins more than the Wii U games.

LOLOLOLOLOL

How is Kirby's Dream Land 3? I've only played the first Dream Land and love it, even though it's incredibly simple.

 

[punkmaggit]

Yes, & it's $1.50 to upgrade SNES titles. I would download the Wii VC version just to be safe so it knows it's on the system.

If you upgrade it to the Wii U VC version, you'll get about 15 points since you're spending $1.50 to upgrade it. I got 10 points for upgrading Gradius on NES to the Wii U version.

Sorry for all the questions, but to upgrade the game to the Wii U version, will the shop recognize the Wii version and that's how it knows the right price to pay?

It's amazing and I love it. Such a great game. Slower paced Kirby in this one, though.

DL3 is better because it's a SNES game. The others were OG Gameboy games.

Yes, since the game is on the system & in your history or whatever, it'll know & thus change the price accordingly. I had a spare 500 Wii points left over, so I bought Gradius through the Wii Menu & Shop Channel, let it download, then I went to the Wii U eShop & the price was changed.

I transferred all my VC titles from the Wii to Wii U & despite not having them installed on the system (well I backed up the games on my SD card), it still knew that I previously bought the games since they were tied to the same account.

& think I'll contact Nintendo first about my DDP question. I've got over 1,000 coins, but I don't want to spend them if I'm only getting 15 points.

Yes, you should see a little pink discount icon.

I don't know how they continually manage to do it, but there's yet again nothing I want. Impressive.

 

[daripad]

Ok I think I'll get Kid Icarus and Mario Kart and upgrade for WiiU version. Or is Metroid any good? At least better and faster than Metroid II?

 

[maxcriden]

I like the first two Metroids. I don't know that Metroid I is any faster than II, but it is a bit of a bigger game.

Anyone played KI: OMAM?

 

[Zonic]

Anyone played KI: OMAM?

I played it for a bit & felt it fixed 2 major things: One, no more dying from the screen scrolling up, and it feels a bit more fair with its difficulty while still being hard.

I bet they tell you "Games redeemed on Club Nintendo are not eligible for DDP"

 

[Toki767]

So redeeming these Wii U games gives us DDP points?

 

[Vanillalite]

I love the game, but that's just me.

The main thing about Metroid vs Metroid II is while both games lack a map Metroid is in color so it's easier to figure out where you are and going vs Metroid II where everything looks the same with the GB screen.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Wait...Did they give away Dream Land 3 before or sell it for a crazy low price? I can't recall buying it at all.

Maybe you got it during that promotion where buying/upgrading two SNES Kirby games on the Wii U VC got you the third one free.

 

[maxcriden]

Sounds good. I should pick that up. Thanks Zonic!

 

[daripad]

I don't see the games yet, when are they up?

 

[cacildo]

Also thinking about 1080, so i can upgrade* in the future

 

[Zonic]

So redeeming these Wii U games gives us DDP points?

Yes, if you got, for example, Metroid & redeemed it, it'd give you 49 points, similar to the other NES titles. I actually won a code for MH3U and it gave me the 599 points.

I got Kirby's Avalanche 2 months ago & then Pilotwings last month just so I could get the 79 points from each of them.

 

[mohuerta]

And my 2000 coins will continue to accumulate

 

[daripad]

lol it is painful to go to club nintendo and it asks me everytime that I can redeem my Smash soundtrack...I don't live in the US ;__;

I love the game, but that's just me.

Ok, I think I'll grab Metroid and wait for SMK on WiiU later

Yup whatever it would cost you without the coins, that's what you get for the DDP.

 

[Zonic]

Oh, so I would just get 15 points since KDL3 would cost me $1.50. Ah well. I still got $20 from the DDP. I'm content.

 

[vatstep]

Out of curiosity, I just checked the transactions on my DDP page for the games I've upgraded. You will definitely only get 15 points.

Thank you for the confirmation. Guess I'll save my coins, then.

 

[Adam Prime]

Don't buy the Kid Icarus GameBoy game...

That game sucks. Definitely not as good as the NES game. Don't waste your coins.

 

[Boogiepop]

Er... how's the Kappa game I guess? Only thing I don't already own...

 

[daripad]

Why? 😱

 

[-Horizon-]

Forget it, I'm getting the posters.

 

[oatmeal]

I feel like they have a dart board with 5 games on it and throw a dart at it every month and BAM that's the free game.

LMAO

I'm going to cite all anonymous sources as "child" now.

ETA: apparently it's also known as Pyoro:

I noticed this too. Everyone's favorite authoritative source on video games, an anonymous child.

 

[Like the hat?]

A Kappa's Trail is really good. Worth the coins, imo.

Made by brownie brown! There may be a surprise in it for mother 3 fans

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

I'm tempted to pick up the NES Metroid since I'm overflowing with points, but if it's going to be included in Zero Mission anyway (as it is in Japan's VC) whenever it shows up, I wonder if I should bother. $5 of value isn't going to make a difference to whether I hit one last DDP target before the promotion concludes at the end of the month.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I feel like they have a dart board with 5 games on it and throw a dart at it every month and BAM that's the free game.

I think they bring up a spreadsheet of the entire eShop library and sort by purchases low-to-high.

 

[cacildo]

Got 1080. Kensuke kimachi is already rushing down the mountain in Wii mode

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Nothing this month.

They could at least change the ratio to 3 Wii U games and 1 Wii game...

 

[jb1234]

I'll get Kirby, I guess. Meh.

 

[Cody_D165]

In for Kirby's Dream Land 3, love that game.

 

[Roto13]

What games do you guys want to see on there? Because it seems like a lot of you guys just go "meh" every month like it's not meeting your expectations. I want to know what those expectations are.

 

[Lexxism]

They were probably expecting Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2 etc

 

[Elija2]

Any of those DSiWare games worth getting?

 

[zroid]

Huh, Woah Dave has a 10 coin registration survey? That's weird, I thought all <$10 eShop games had 5 coin reg surveys.

 

[Rapscallion]

Eh, already have Dreamland 3 on the Kirby Collection for the Wii.

Another month passing without getting anything.

 

[i-Jest]

Might just cop Dream Land 3 and Super Mario Kart. Would be awesome if Club Nintendo offered Kirby's Return to Dreamland as a physical prize.

 

[jb1234]

Games I want would be great. Part of it is my fault because I didn't get on the Club Nintendo train until later and missed games like Super Metroid.

 

[hazukash]

I was tempted by 1080° Snowboarding and Super Mario Kart, but I didn't fall for neither. I wouldn't play them. I own the GBA MK already and it's essentially an SMK remake. I only have a mild interest in 1080° as it was well-received in the N64 era. I have the feeling my 1300 coins will be redeemed for a great reward soon enough anyway.

 

[Interface23]

Grabbed Dreamland 3 because there is nothing else to get so. Hope it is as good as 1-2 were in my childhood!

 

[-Horizon-]

Before I make the jump, got a question about the smash posters. How's the quality? Clear? Not cheap feeling
paper? Does it feel worth the 700 coin plunge?

I'm gonna rage hard if they release something FEA related right after.

 

[Converse]

Shitdicks, I forgot to get codes for Metroid II and Tokyo Crash Mobs. Oh well, just cashed in a few for Metroid.

As a PSA, Whoah Dave! from Choice Provisions (formerly Gaijin Games) is currently on sale in the 3DS eShop for 99 cents. I just picked it up and got a 10-point product registration survey on Club Nintendo.
