I just checked the Wii Shop and all the other TG-16 Star Soldier games are still there, odd that Star Parodier was removed.

Sounds like a Vita game.
That's funny because it's true.

Hmm, I don't think I ever bought this, but it's definitely one of those "if I had know.." things.
Ah well, Konami can't be bothered with Hudson stuff apparently.
At least it's still on the European VC.
That's neat. Didn't know that.
As in use the GamePad as a controller but turn off the screen...? Is this new?
I know certain people have been demanding this for a while.
It's on page 13 (Virtual Console Menu) at the bottom. I just quote it here:
So, start the game. Tap the screen to get to the VC menu, then press and hold the right stick in and tap on back (or press B).
it works. thanks! i was getting it wrong because i was pressinh "down", not pressing "it"
The confusing thing is that there's a "Display off" option in the general WiiU controller settings menu (which doesn't let you use the GamePad while it's off), I never thought there actually would be a second option.
Now someone find an option like this for NSMBU. Nintendo just likes to hide important options behind strange key combinations (like the screen settings in 3DS GB+GBA VC games).

Do you have a PSP? You should try to get this, PC Engine Star Soldier Collection:
Guess not, why should Konami bother capitalizing on the insane amount of classic IPs they have when it's apparently more profitable to let them stagnate and focus on the more important things like allowing Kojima to release a $40 Metal Gear demo?
Odder all the time.

Shooters are not meant to be played on portable screens. Most of the PSP ones suck major horse crap.
I have almost every PSP generation. The go is the one with the best screen. And it still sucks ass

Yes, the PSP screen has always had blur issues. Thanks for the news flash. But whatever, the first time I 1CC'd Gradius was actually on my PSP 2000. Otherwise, thanks for the completely rude, unfriendly, hyperbolic, and over the top reply. Was just giving an alternate option for folks who might be interested in playing Star Parodier now that it's been taken down.
So, it was a busy month, and I haven't updated the CN spreadsheet since the end of February -- so now I'm trying to catch up on March.
1) Anyone know of any reliable sources for eShop sales notices other than this thread and my spreadsheet? I'm trying to determine when the various sales STARTED, and we didn't always note those in here.
2) Wasn't there a blurb somewhere about Club Nintendo changing DS/Wii registration stuff in the next week? Anyone have a link to that?
I hope to have an updated spreadsheet soon, and I'll try to get it rejiggered to track historical values -and- any new changes...

I don't mind people trying to play it. I just said the PSP screens sucks for it.
And if you want my personal opinion, the GBA or the Ds ain't that better off. Like I said, all portables suck.
Sorry if I offended you by mentioning the quality of a console.
Sure its sad that a lot of people won't get to play it. But if they wanted to on the virtual console, they could have had a long while ago, not just now.
Also, if anyone bought any of the following, how many CN coins did you get?
I ask as all are labeled "Download Version," which generally means you get a 10 coin early registration bonus when purchasing within the first few weeks -- I just wanted to make sure that was the case this time.
* Yumi's Odd Odyssey (3DS)
* Hello Kitty Kruisers (Wii U)
* Madagascar 3 & The Croods Party Combo Pack (3DS)

The game was developed by Kaneko, perhaps that plays a part.
I recall that when VC launched, Hudson was fairly aggressive in getting TG games onto it, getting the rights to games they didn't own so they could 'publish' them on VC. Now that Konami's running the show, it might be a good idea to buy the games you were on the fence about that they don't have full rights to. The 'Crush' games come to mind. Can anybody think of others that may not last?

Hmm... pretty lackluster week, outside of GBA VC. So yeah, nothing for me.
I wouldn't say no to Metroid Fusion + Mario & Luigi, but my Wii U plate is already quite full (and I'd rather play those on a handheld, so 4DS it'll be for me, ha ha ha).
Hope they'll keep the flow of GBA VC titles steady!

How are this titles? I know Toki Tori 2 is well regarded but is Toki Tori very different?
Also, Edge better on 3DS or Wii U?
Thanks!
I don't. You can already purchase most interesting SNES games through Virtual Console. With GBA the situation isn't quite as rosy. In the perfect world I'd like to see both but I prefer GBA games over SNES games since this will be their first time appearing on the service.
EDGE is really good. One of my favorite indie games of all time. Unless you want a portable copy of the game then go for the Wii U version.

Toki Tori is very different to its sequel, but it's a very good puzzle game too. It's level based, not open world style like TT2 is. In each of the levels, you need to get all the eggs in them (the amount varies). Finding the correct path is the key. In each level you have a set number of items/skills to use (for example a piece of bridge).
Overall a great game for 2 euros.
I found Edge kind of dull personally, but that's just me.
So besides portability there's no other reason to own Edge on 3DS? (3D?) If that's the case I'll get it on Wii U, thanks!
Thanks for the explanation, I'll buy it when I get home
For Edge and Rush I'll see some videos. Any Rush recommendations?
Nintendo should have made GBA work on 3DS instead, I'm not very eager to play anything with a GBA resolution on anything that have a screen bigger than 4", but there are people who doesn't have a problem with it. I'll just chalk it up with the rest of Nintendos shitty decisions and ignore those releases.
This
I don't think there's any reason to be worried, though it's strange it's not mentionned in the PR. I think we would have heard something if it has been delayed or something.
I wonder when there'll be a new Metroid important enough to call it "Metroid 5". With three Prime games and Other M, there are as many "side story" games by now as there are mainline games.
I'm not sure it's really fair to call the Metroid Prime game "side stories", since they take place in the same timeline.
And I'm pretty sure Other M is an integral part, too, as Sakamoto said he needed to clarify some stuff in this game before moving on with the story. I'm not sure what he meant by that, though.
Oh, but hmm... a bit OT, oopsie.
This make me thing : not sure I'd like Metroid Prime on the VC, if ever we get GC games on VC. I mean, I'm so used to pointer controls now, going back to sticks for this game would be a nightmare
Wasn't it considered the worst Metroid game before Other M came out?
I don't have anything against Fusion and it's well worth getting, but it's been pointed out to me that Other M took a lot of its cues from Fusion, especially when it came to the Samus/Adam relationship.
Also, since the whole X parasites fusing with her Varia suit incident, it doesn't seem like anyone has wanted to make a game that doesn't have Samus' iconic design or deal with the story after SA-X, despite the SA-X (normal form) being Metroid Fusion's best part.

Wow NNID really is useless (though its not like this would have played out differently without it)
-Get the 3DS repaired and with the repaired system use the system transfer. I know this may be rather costly, maybe the price can be driven down when by pointing out why the repair is required (computer says no about serial no. if they had a proper account system or could perform the transfer the repair would be unrequired) which brings me onto the other idea.
-Inquire about sending in both systems in and seeing if they can do the transfer then but given one of the system needs to be repaired first I doubt this will be any cheaper, even if the broken 3DS hardware is given up (I think they only "dispose" of such systems for free). They might not be able to find the SN but the system in hand is another thing.
