Well, we'll see. It actually might still be $4.99 this week for us. NOA doesn't announce this stuff till the day of. I wouldn't mind that extra 50 cents off, but I play my 3DS way more than my Vita at the moment, so it'd just be a matter of convenience... I'll wait till Thursday.
Looks like you are in luck:

Man, not gonna be getting any spare money until around the 16th-17th. This is gonna be close...
You can wait a week.
It'd probably be more convenient to you anyways. Also apparently developers can do sales on their own now on the American 3DS eShop. Yay!The EscapeVector sale is great and I'll be snapping it up the moment the reduction hits. But I still yearn for the six-week sale NA had recently. Mutant Mudds, Fractured Soul and Hana Samurai would all be in my collection instantly. Now they've had a discount in NA I have even less urge to ever pay full price.

So I got a bunch of old Wii points cards for really cheap, wondering what I should do with them.
The smart money is buying shit on the old VC (through Wii U) then waiting for the transfer thingy to occur right?
Safe to assume games like Mario 1 and Zelda 1 etc will be the first to transfer? I wonder if the Sega and TG16 and what-not stuff will get Wii U versions too.
They really should have figured out a way of doing this easier than WE HAVE TO MAKE THEM ALL AGAIN SO PLEASE WAIT.
Its gonna be waiting each week to see whats released all over again just so you can play the game 'again again' lol. :|

What have you got so far (if anything), so I don't waste my time suggesting games you've already played.

if you definitely want the eventual wii u versions your safest bet is to just go for nintendo's usual suspects impossible to know or trust if other systems and/or 3rd parties will appear especially as some may go the 'remastered' route on some games
You could use them to buy DSiWare if you have an old DSi lying around somewhere.

Just wait. The extra screen space the bottom screen affords you is a godsend in later levels.
You can observe patterns and plan your run accordingly.

I don't have anything on my Wii U already, I went from NTSC Wii ->PAL Wii U so I couldn't transfer any of my old Wii VC stuff.
I'm mainly just wondering what you guys think will be the 'safe bets' as to what will be transferable. I know we don't really know much about it, but yea.
I did boot up my old DSi as well to have a look on that store but I've already got most the stuff I'm interested from there.
If only I could use them on the new store I'd be goooold.

Interesting, I never thought of that. I should check out some footage/reviews of both versions, I really haven't bothered to compare them much, since I already knew it was a great game.
Hmm..... downloading it now.
Wheh, update? It hasn't had one of those for a while.

Miiverse update?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Almost certainly not Miiverse update.
I got Miyamoto yesterday so it definitely isn't that.
Miyamoto was there before the update.
Whenever they change it from like 3.0->4.0, it means that there's some significant changes. When they change it from 4.0->4.1, it's usually stability updates.

EVERYBODY HUNT FOR THE NEW FUNCTIONALITY

LostWinds 1 + 2 (800 each)
World of Goo (1000)
Jett Rocket (1000)
Icarian: Kindred Spirits (1000)
VC is a bit harder because there are hundreds of titles so it really depends what genre your looking for.
They unlocked the second core quite some time ago.

Nintendo eShop improvements*
-Users will no longer need to close the Nintendo eShop application to ensure the "Download Later" feature works while the Nintendo 3DS is in Sleep Mode.
-Other improvements to usability have been made, including the ability to download software update data in the background.
Yeah, not that impressive, if that's all it is.
Good. Not a big deal, but didn't see why, if you closed it with the eShop enabled, that you couldn't get the items in Download Later.

Man, I really hope there's something at GDC about this update. I think the eShop loaded up a bit faster but otherwise...

Hmm. Odd to go to 5.0 over that.

Saw it at PAX. Looks pretty great.
I think background download of title data was not allowed within apps that can download stuff themselves or that can manipulate installed content (like the system settings). Since even patches can now be downloaded in background, it seems they overhauled the title download and install code.

Okay, whoever decides what goes on Europe's Club Nintendo needs. To get. Fired. Not only do we not have downloadable games, but we don't even have store credit for the eShop, it's still Wii/DSiWare points. And the selection of physical stuff is absolutely terrible too. You can't get anything decent unless you buy about 30 Nintendo titles.
I have 1500 stars expiring at the end of March, and I can afford... some shoelaces, or a cleaning cloth with Yoshi on it. Customer incentive or what?

Can't use Club Nintendo in Switzerland at all! Maybe with Nintendo opening their Swiss HQ in a few days this'll change.
yea rite

My first sale and...I don't play the WiiWare version of EscapeVektor nearly enough. I'm sure like Pop the 3DS version has a few updates but I can't justify the cost...come on, be Denpa Men next week (
)
I remember we used to get post play surveys for WiiWare purchased and said ages ago they would get DSiWare working too. Are they ever going to bring that back...I kind of didn't do them for like a game or...well more like a dozen or so
Speaking of all this anyone know if Thursday's retail downloads will also be double stars like the first party has been.
I'm buying it next Thursday anyway, I'm off on a trip so will be able to find lots of hotspots and thus Denpa men to catch, would prefer to minimise cost though
I could see Phil being being all like "They ruined my precious BABY" if that ever happened. In Indie Game: The Movie he did come across as too much of a perfectionist in the sort of vein that Fez was his perfect, bug free child (which probably makes it all the sadder how it came out).
The person who decides what goes on Club Nintendo is given a tiny budget so has to raid marketing or beg NOA/NCL for stuff nobody wanted to buy (in other words we're never getting Card Case 15). At least its better than the Nintendo VIP 24:7 days...stuff is actually in stock for more than minutes. Weirdly enough they seem to have gone to those days where goods are in those countries rather than all sent from Germany. It leads to Russia being the only place where you can get the 15,000 star Link statue (to be fair they only recently got Club Nintendo so I can see one or two being able to register a lot of stars) or the Kirby Frizbee.

I've been eyeing Pokédex 3D Pro for a while now.
I'm such a tool.

It's on sale in the American eShop right now.
For Europe as well. Still hella expensive but pokeymanz.
I honestly cannot justify spending more than $5 on such a thing. And Bulbapedia trumps all.

Yeah, luckily my OCD is stronger than my Pokémon stannery. I'm too scared.

You can't use it whilst playing the games, so it's pointless to me.
