I'm kinda that way in general.But I don't think Nintendo would launch it exclusive to one country for a few months.
All of their real consoles launch that way. Why not the virtual ones?

Just noticed on the eShop that Luigi's Mansion is getting a midnight release. There are so many games I want on March

Any news on Denpa 2 getting localized soon? Having an absolute blast with the first right now.
'Cause no other platform on the Virtual Console has ever launched exclusive to a region for more than a month, other than the MSX, which is still exclusive to Japan. And the GBA is a bigger deal than the MSX.
Edit: Neo Geo was exclusive for a month, if I recall.
They said that it would be localized way back in October, so I'd imagine that it can't be too far away.
The fact that EB/Mother 2 never released on the JP VC before this promotion gives me hope that it can finally be released in NA as well. Only reason it isn't in the promotion for NA is that the game will definitely sell for $8 here - the game has nowhere near the amount of demand in Japan as it does in North America. NoA will want to get as much money as possible for one of their most wanted games.
If it does get skipped over outside of Japan then I will flip

Yeaaaah! I've already sunk 8 hours into Denpa 1 and I'm only half way through. Pretty good!
Eh, by that sort of logic we should have got the games a long time ago just because they didn't remove Ness/Lucas from SSB.
Well, during most of Brawl's development, Earthbound was going to be released in the US.
I do hope Genius Sonority gets a chance to work on a retail project again though. I enjoyed their Pokemon RPGs on the Gamecube. Or at least work on a downloadable Dragon Quest game.

Is Sonic Drift 2 a good game guys?
never played it on Game Gear and just noticed it when browsing the Japanese eshop.
Also which Ge Gear game is better. Sonic the Hedgehog or Sonic the Hedgehog 2?

Shantae was rated by the ESRB or submitted a year ago. Why is NoA holding it up?
Maybe planning to release it closer to Pirate's Curse?

You're asking why Nintendo is taking a while to release something digitally? Pretty open question.
I'm seriously scared by the amount of ratings games are getting on the 3DS eShop. There are games that got well over 100.000 ratings. And many of them have over 10.000 ratings.
One question: do eShop charts count DSiWare downloads from only eShop or from eShop + DSiWare store from DSi / DSi XL?

Where the hell is ATV Wild Ride you plebs.
So do you think we've got a million seller on the eShop? Has something like Pokemon Dream Radar or Pushmo reached that point yet?
Edit: Some indie news. Nintendo Life is revealing another Wii U eShop game this week.
Terra Incognita will hit the Wii U at £3500. It only has £800 to go, and everyone who backs it (even at £1) will get the game on every platform that it comes out on. So go to it!

I have no clue on DSiWare sadly. :/
Can it be rated through the DSi Shop even? I know WiiWare is rated through the Nintendo Channel, but I don't think DSi has an equivalent?

Don't look at me. I bought the game
You're cool.
The rest of the losers in this thread aren't, though.
Well, we already knew some things on eShop have been downloaded more than a million time, back in June (numbers updated to April, 2012). Five, more precisely:
Netflix
Nintendo Video
Pokedex 3DS
Swapnote
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure 25th Anniversary
All free items
And I'd love to see these statistics updated, especially with datas about the best selling not free games / apps.
And back in June, we had also these statistics
http://www.shacknews.com/article/74233/nintendo-reveals-eshop-usage-stats#
Given the percentages of users who connected their 3DS at least once actually greatly increased with the installed base (from 70 to over 80%), I'm wondering how much the digital tie ratio increased. Especially after August, when retail titles started being released.
Bought it. Don't love it, but I bought it.

Having looked at the ratings for those free games, I found that about 5-10% of the downloads were represented by ratings or so. Of course that's a silly way to get an idea of sales, but it is at least a measure of just how few people rate the games they've played, free or otherwise.

Oh, and I just got into three different hosted matches of ATV Wild Ride 3D in a row. Only one had three players in it, but t'was fun, despite my terribleness.
How good are the mechanics of ATV? I'm leaning towards a purchase.

There is a lot of emphasis on tricks. In order to gain boosts you have to do tricks in the air which take up some amount of time. You can't repeat tricks or you don't get the boost associated with it. Usually there are about 8 tricks per set (while holding L, while holding R, and then while holding both and pointing in a direction while in the air). The trick is to remember which moves you did most recently and which ones take up enough time to finish before you land.
The issue is that certain jumps, if you "leap" on them will just about guarantee you to crash into the mountain or out of bounds. Part of the skill is to know when to risk big jumps and when to keep on racing. This is especially the case when playing in reverse tracks, where once large jumps can become not so large backwards.
It's real neat, but you'll find yourself flying around if you don't know how to react to certain terrain.
ThatObviousUser
ὠαἴÏÏιÏÏÎ¿Ï Ïαá¿Ï εἶ
Just a small correction: you can't repeat a trick during the same lap. When the lap starts over it clears out so you can do them again.
TheUnknownForce
Member
Ah. I thought it was that after doing another trick it clears the old trick back. That might explain a couple issues of mine. :x
Also, there needs to be a call-out time for online play. As awesome as catching random people online is, I'd like to see myself fail in a 4-player match sometime

If you host, aren't you given control over when to start?
TheUnknownForce
Member
I think so. I've never gotten a bite when I host for about a couple minutes, so I've always just joined people and waited for it to start. Haven't gotten a four-player match yet. Most I had was three.

It looks like this has just resulted in lots of £1 pledges, though not anywhere close to enough to push the total over £3500. I really hope he makes it, as I think Indie projects like this need to carve out a niche on the Wii U. I'll back him a bit if it looks like he's gonna miss the stretch goal only by a small margin.

I've beaten 3 stages in Splash or Crash/Kersploosh with the doll and still didn't unlock the final stone. Fuck me, after well 3 the difficulty ramps up way too much for a 5 hit KO.
Stage 2 is easy as fuck to avoid everything though. Might even be possible with the drip, if that one didn't get so fast even without boost donuts.edit: okay, well 7 was pretty easy with the doll too. Now I've got everything.

Any kind soul able to round-up not only ALL confirmed Wii U eShop games, but a separate list of all that are pending, such as kickstarter goals and such? Must be a fuckton.
Actually, leave the confirmed list to me and add any I miss, just get the pending list.

The problem I have with this is that while I would donate if I knew I'd get a Wii U version of it...
1) I don't have any indication/guarantee that I'd get a North American download code later.
2) If I donated and he DIDN'T hit the goal, then I don't get the Wii U version -and- I'm out cash for something I don't want.
Am I wrong about this?

You get a refund if the goal isn't reached right?
The -goal- will be reached. The "stretch goal" adding a Wii U port probably won't be.
Donating now means your donation will go through, but unless the "extra" stretch goal is reached, you wouldn't get the bonus.
I don't think you can retract pledges after the Kickstarter ends...
The goal has already been reached. Anything else that's donated will go through.

Ah, thanks. I did manage to finish a couple levels with the doll, so maybe I will manage it at some point.
Edit: I got it by beating wells 1, 2, and 7 with the matryoshka doll. So it's definitely not finishing five wells.

With 100 minutes to go, this thing's only £163 short of hitting the Wii U. Hope there's enough last minute support to push it over the edge.
Edit: Looks like this game is Wii U-bound!
Yep, it just passed 3500 pounds... and so I'm in for a pound (or, roughly, 149 US pennies!)
Assuming nothing goes wrong, you have about 30 minutes to pay $1.50 for the future Wii U version -- go to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/terraincognita/terra-incognita-a-retro-inspired-rpg now!
I'm not sure about the exact criteria, but I know when I got it, I used the jewel on well 5 (I think) and finished with 1 hp (doubt this mattered) . I also unlocked the wooden fish, so no clue as to what did what.

Yeah, I have a similar problem with Kickstarter so you generally have to be careful of which projects to back. I remember The Pinball Arcade's Twilight Zone Kickstarter advertising that I'd be able to pick up the 3DS download code but the 3DS version still hasn't been released. Would have sucked if I trusted them enough to donate for the 3DS version. Their Star Trek Kickstarter finally admitted they couldn't guarantee the 3DS version so I'm glad I dodged a bullet there.
