[Nintendo eShop] So many classic games, so little time to play them all.

Oh damn, Excitebike 64? That was a really good game guys. Highly recommended.

I really need to finish Wario Land: Shake It. I got to the point where I had to grind money to unlock more levels and gave up.

Dirty

I never really "got" Wario Land. It always seemed second rate compared to Nintendo's other side-scrollers.

How does shake it compare to Wario Land 4?

Well for one thing it is beautiful traditional animation, not classic sprites, it literally looks like a cartoon.

Warlock82

That's one of the reasons I am super tempted to pick it up. I wish My Nintendo had a discount on it so it would be a no brainer....

agoaj

I hear it's a game for the whole family

I got bored of Shake It relatively quickly, but damn was it a pretty game.
it makes the phoned-in graphics of the nsmb series even more shameful by comparison

I managed to Google up my 7 year old Shake It thread so you can bask in the wonderful vintage opinions therein.

Essentially it's a great game. Quite a bit of classic Sonic in its DNA.

Funny thing, a new store opened and was selling mountains of games, 5 for 10 euro so I got Resi: Umbrella Chronicles for 2 euro. New! I had it before and traded it in, but had been itching to rebuy it for a while.

If anyone reading this is in Dublin, get your ass to Golden Discs in the Dundrum centre. I got 2 copies of Mario strikers, 2 new smb2, Mario Party island tour, pilot wing resort, Luigi's mansion 2, red steel 2 with motion plus and Dark Souls 2 for twenty euro all brand new. Some of that is going on eBay for profit too!

Okay, so technically not an eShop question, but in the same ballpark. Does the Wii Shop Channel still work? I heard the old Nintendo Wi-Fi Connect went offline, but I wasn't sure if that had any effect on the Shop Channel. I've actually spoken to some people who want (but can't find) the Nintendo Mini, that had no idea the Wii could play most (if not all) of the games from that set. Some of them don't actually care about the novelty of the Mini device, and just want the old games, but I wanted to confirm it was still possible before telling them.

Yes it does. The Wii Shop is basically connecting to a website designed to interface with the Wii, which is still up. It's only the games themselves that had their online turned off.

Dirty

Nice. I will pass that info along.

LBD_Nytetrayn

Wii Mini doesn't go online, though.

Dirty

Yeah, but I don't know anyone who has one of those.

LBD_Nytetrayn

Oh wait, by "Nintendo Mini," did you mean the NES Classic Edition? I thought you were interested in the Wii Mini for Virtual Console stuff.

Finally, Majora's Mask, GOD.

I feel like I've been waiting forever for that one to hit the eShop.

Save states AHOY!

Taramoor

Nevermind, looks like my discount for owning it on the Wii VC isn't showing.

I guess I'll have to wait to actually finish Majora.

Hmm, that Metroid/Aliens Infestation looking game published by XseeD isn't on the press release? Maybe because it was released on the 22nd instead of today? Looks neat though.

If you're talking about Exile's End, it was part of last week's update.

Guess Canada got it later. Better than not getting it at all, I'm still bitter about Kokuga.

They just added a whole new section of rewards for Super Mario Run: a Toad avatar, various Coin and Toad Rally Ticket packs, a Golden Mario Statue, a flower patch, and E block. Not sure what any of that stuff does, though.

Since I don't use my phone for games (and in the case of Run do not have an iOS phone), they do nothing as far as I'm concerned.

I thought Android was "coming later" for Mario Run. If so, maybe I'll grab some stuff early.

Yeah, I don't believe they've said when but my guess is Jan or Feb

So in Super Mario Run the only way to unlock more stages in tour mode is to drop $10 to buy all the stages? No freemium way to grind them as unlocks?

I really prefer them using more of a demo/full-version model instead of a grindy freemium bullshit model.

It does stuff IN Super Mario Run. Can play as Toad, coins/tickets are for buying stuff/entering Toad Rally, and the E block kicks out stuff when you poke it every now and then.


Also this is a pretty darn good game.
