I'll take your word, I'm from Costa Rica and when I tried to buy something for my 3DS it gives me an error, if the Canadian shop will take my card I shouldn't have any problem, I'll try later with something cheap.

Is there a way to see all my purchases in the 3DS eShop? And what happens if I delete a game and want to re-download it?
There's a purchase history in the eShop, and you can redownload anything you own as often as you want, but save data is tied to the game files so deleting a game also deletes your save for it.

Haha, I didn't notice that you could scroll in the settings. Cheers!

There's a way to see all your purchases, and all purchases on the console (not just yours), likewise for DLC.
So purchases you made with another region's settings remain intact, like you can access it?
It's removed till VC launches I believe.
You can play any game you downloaded regardless of you current region settings, but to redownload it you may have to switch to the region you originally bought it in.
I download Wario Land from UK's eShop and change my region to Italy --> I can play the game and redownload it from the eShop
I download Professor Layton on the UK eShop and change my 3DS to Italy--> I can play the game but I can't redownload it because the Italian version is different (different language). If I want to redownload it I have to change my region to UK.
That's something good to know. What about Club Nintendo? Is that information intact?
Mighty Switch Force 2 is announced for 3DS eShop.

YES
My bad, fixed it.

Nvm found the article, yay!

Blasphemy. Nothing compares to Shantae 2.
Nah, Shantae DSi is too expensive for what it offers while MSF was a good deal at its initial price and only got better when they added the free expansion.
Shantae isn't bad either it just needed a whole bunch more and I hope that comes across when they make the upcoming 3DS version.

MSF was way too short at launch and I don't think they added enough extra content later to justify the price. I mean, it's only a couple dollars less than the Mighty! games for DSiWare and those games had a ton more content. $6 is about right for the HD version but I still think it's a bit much for the original.
MSF2... eh, I'd rather a new, original Mighty! game.
I loved the original concept for MSF. They either need to add more levels and it a longer puzzle-platformer or make it a Metroidvania.
Also, according to this the game is going to feature Patricia Wagon but she's taking a leave from cop work.
I am playing through MSF HD edition right now and got PAR in the first five incidents. Man, the music is awesome. So I wondered who did the music and it turned out to be Virt... all I know from him is that he did awesome OCReMix stuff a long time ago and then he had his own remix site for a while. No wonder the music is so great for MSF.
Virt works at Wayforward now and is responsible for the music in most of their big games--Shantae, Contra 4, Double Dragon Neon, the Mighty! games, etc. Many of his OSTs are available on his Bandcamp page on a pay-what-you-want basis, too.

Gonna wait for MSF2 HD.

I own MSF and have only played the demos for Double Dragon Neon / Bloodrayne Betrayal, but both of those seem much more substantial to me.
Virt's so good. Really dig the MSF and Double Dragon Neon soundtracks. Glad he's doing the MSF 2 soundtrack as well.

MSF is great; interested in a sequel. Would be SUPER pleased if they made it a more straightforward action game with the same aesthetics and style (the 3D effect is absolutely excellent in this game!) but I won't hold my breath.

The game is really more of a puzzle platformer than an action game like Mega Man. Any substance you find from the game is going to be from trying to beat par times.
Yeah I'm not a big fan of that genre, didn't like Fez or Braid either. I don't regret buying it, but it hasn't met my expectations.
I'm thinking of getting a new SD card for my 3DS, I've only got the base 2GB one. I saw a cheap 32GB for $20 on Amazon with a Class 4 speed. I want to know should I try to get a faster speed, or is is pretty trivial when it comes to the transfer speed with games?
Also, is it fairly easy to transfer all the stuff from one card to another? Will I lose any serious data?
And to stay more on topic, I really wish Dillon's Rolling Western was on sale. It seems like something I'd enjoy, but not for it's current price. Also, can't wait for the Oracle games to hit NA.

It's trivial, the speed classes only really matter for cameras and the like. Games load just as fast no matter what card you're using. Also, I'd expect the Oracle games to hit sometime next month or in April.
If it's any consolation or motivation, Dillon's has a lot of content to offer. It's a pretty sizeable game with a lot of challenges.

1. I recently upgraded to a 16gb card that is class 10, from a 4gb class 4 card. While it may be a placebo effect, refreshing the home screen seems faster, as does launching programs stored on the SD card. But as others say, it's not a big deal.
2. You should be able to simply copy every folder on the current card to a PC and copy them back to the new card, then reinsert into the 3DS. Nothing is hidden or locked to the SD card itself.

Looks like Gatjin is about to release info regarding the Runner2 launch dates. Hopefully the Wii U and other consoles' dates aren't too far from the Steam release if they aren't the same day.

I think the page on the NOA website had it listed as coming this week... then again, they've missed their own listed dates before.
Toki Tori 2 is heading into its last week of development. We should see it sometime in March, I think.

Since Shin'en announced Nano Assault was coming to the Japanese Wii U shop on the 28th, has anything been confirmed? Really looking forward to it...
I'd imagine they got that info from the publisher, seeing as they're not publishing it themselves. I think Arc System Works was named as the publisher, might wanna check their site or something.

Picked up Trine 2 and Mighty Switch Force on sale. It's nice to see Nintendo finally respond to the sales their competitors have routinely put on for years. I own both of the above games on different platforms (PS3 and 3DS) and without a sale I never would have double dipped, but I'm glad to have the excuse now. Too bad it seems like they're artificially throttling VC releases again, for a second generation running. Seems incredibly short sighted, especially when retail releases are so few and far between and a full library is already available on Wii. By the time they get around to releasing half the stuff people are going to be completely disinterested. Checking all the time for a meager release or two, especially when many of them are fairly underwhelming picks, is pretty demotivating. Guess Nintendo doesn't like easy pickings.

Pretty much. Even on the 3DS, it's still weird. I mean, I am grateful for some of the stuff we are finally getting, like the Mega Man games, but as far as Nintendo's own stuff is concerned, well...Picked up Trine 2 and Mighty Switch Force on sale.

Why, NOA? Why?
Over a year since it came out on the Japanese VC, and it's still not on the North American VC yet? What's the holdup? Pretty much. Even on the 3DS, it's still weird. I mean...
Why, NOA? Why?
Wario Land III and Kirby's Dreamland 2 and any Game Gear game are the biggest offenders. Although Europe isn't too good at receiving 3DS eShop games...

Game Gear VC support is completely dead in Europe now too. Pretty sure SEGA's bailed on it except for Japan. =[
DDN is probably number two in my book but Bloodrayne is downright AWFUL and probably their worst title released to date.
I've been playing it on Steam (a review copy) and it's pretty awesome. I might buy it on the eShop if it has off-TV play.
