E Shop and Downloadables Discussion

Golden Sun will be mine as soon as I can make it so. Also, please avoid downloading Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. The pinnacle of direness on the eShop.

As soon as I saw that, I knew there'd be a ZJ disparaging comment.  

Hey, I'm providing a service here! 

Child of Light is looking very special indeed. She grows! She flies! She rhymes!

It certainly looks beautiful I still wish to know how involving the battle system is.

I've just watched that trailer with my jaw dropped throughout. Did I say I wouldn't be buying this until there's a sale on? My fool's mind is changing...

I've got my deluxe edition coming of it, can't wait.

So, apparently there's now 240 indie games coming to Wii U.....

http://nintendoenthusiast.com/article/wii-u-upcoming-games/

You know, if it does end up being some kind of indie haven, I'll be more inclined to buy a Wii U.

(I'll probably get one eventually - there are a select few games I want - but if there is an onslaught of great indie titles then I'll be even more convinced.)

They're always coming but never here.  

Strategy games up now on NE

C - wars looks really interesting out of that lot.

Hover: Revolt of Gamers.  Described by its creators as a mixture of Jet Set Radio and Mirror's Edge.  Looks quite interesting, although it's a long way off and has you performing "Triks" according to this Neogaf post.  Trying too hard to be "kool" is never good in my eyes.

I should have it on Wednesday myself for PS4 and I'm off that day. So will let you know what it's like and if the art book etc was worth a extra £4.

And any other PS4 owners on here Stick to the man is free on PSN+ in May.

I was hoping for some more GBA downloads...I know it's early days yet, but I really hope NoE don't treat the GBA Virtual Console with the same apathy they did with the Master System, Commodore 64 and particularly Virtual Console Arcade on the Wii Shop Channel.

Have NoE treated any VC well at all?

Why? It's good, relevant info that might save somebody a bit of money.

As for treating the VC well, that was a glorious first twelve months for the Wii, in which it was almost guaranteed you'd be able to download several freshly-uploaded absolute classics that had never been re-released digitally before. The well sort of ran dry after that, mind.

Don't know how I feel about that. It's been 385 weeks since the Wii launched and 414 different games are up for downloading. Reads well, but there's only been about fifty games added in the last three-and-a-half years, and none since early September 2013.

At the same time costing them £350. Nah, I see your point, although I'm not sure comments on the art book are relevant here (since, y'know, you can't get that with the Wii U version of the game). They belong in the CoL thread if anywhere. Anyway, SittM seems a bit took self-consciously "zany" for me, much though I like Ryan North's Dinosaur Comics.

I'll give you that the Wii VC had some great games, including the Hanabi festivals, but that aside this "golden age" of the eShop must have passed me by. Anyway, I can certainly agree that I'd like some more GBA games, although to be honest I'd rather have them on the 3DS. But I'll settle for "at all".

What Cappa said, I was saying I'll play it and let you know what's it like etc which of course will go in it's own thread, which should really be in general as this is a multiformat game not Wii U.

And on the VC, hasn't all the VC games so far been the same in EU & USA so can't moan just at NoE, and about the Wii not having none since Sep 2013. This is Nintendo they are the best of jumping from gen to gen, they drop support quite quickly normally. So I can understand why none on the Wii since then.

I heavily disagree with this. Despite an increased multiformat presence, this is still a Nintendo forum (being a direct sequel to the NGamer forum, hence the title), and this is reflected by more people (many more) on here owning Wii Us than BBoPs. Given the imbalance and the forum's Nintendo focus, it makes perfect sense to put a game that most forumites are going to play on the Wii U in the Wii U section. SSB4 and Shovel Knight are in here for less!

If that means the game's thread gets a few multiformat comments, then fair enough, but the majority will be from a Wii U perspective. If that ever changes, if more people acquire BBoPs, and/or if the forum goes full multiplat, then there's an argument for making multiformat threads in General Gaming.

You forget this game is also on PS3, 360 and PC. A lot on here own a PS3 will someone of them buy it on that and take Jay he'd be buying on PC if he is.

Wasn't this subject brought up in the random thread that the forum is turning more multi format as the majority own a noun Nintendo system as well, one of the highest contributors doesn't even a current Nintendo system.

Of course more of us at the moment will own more Wii Us then PS4ONE, as all of us the forum are Nintendo fans and I the WiiU has been out 17 to PS4ONEs 5 month's & some are waiting for a big game on them.
