Slim pickin's on the Wii U eShop this week, probably something to do with some fighting game or other on the 3DS. Wii U eShop 99Seconds (EnjoyUp Games, €2.49 / £2.29) Wii U Virtual Console Street Fighter Alpha 2 (Capcom, Super NES VC, €7.99 / £5.49)

Just had a quick browse through NintendoLife's history on this game, and there's no mention of online racing. But they claim that they'll have 30 racers in each race, 60 fps, and 720p.

Thanks Darren, it looks nice on the site.

Surely they could have a work around that all existing games work as they do now, but any future releases are region locked to AUS. They could lock out the European eShop, and only allow access to the AUS eShop. I'll wait for clarification before putting my money down.

Base again, and this is a bargain, but I still can't bring myself round to buy it. 19.99 Super Mario Bros. U. http://www.base.com/buy/product/new-super-mario-bros-u-wii-u/dgc-2320146.htm I just don't like 2D Mario anymore.

You don't think Nintendo may change things up for this New Australian 3DS and region lock it further, such as only having access to the Australian eShop and locking Europe out of it. I wouldn't put it past them.

I'm so interested in this game, but can't justify the hours I'd spend on it, got so many other games to play ATM. But, my wallet hasn't been opened for such a long time.

Base are doing the game for 27.99 (awesome price) http://www.base.com/buy/product/fantasy-life-nintendo-3ds/dgc-fantasy3ds.htm GAME are doing it at the same price, so I'll be getting it as a download code for 27.99 http://www.game.co.uk/en/fantasy-life-301301?attributeName1=Shop%20By&pageSize=20&provenance=New&catGroupId=&categoryIdentifier=29510&attributeValue1=63

Overall, I did enjoy this, but as I reviewed it and blitzed it, it felt like a slog especially through the last mine which went on forever. The game played really well with its ideas, but lacked variety, and became repetitive in its last 3 hours. Never really fully appreciated MegaMan games, but along came the sale on the Wii U eShop, not so long back, and I thought I'd give 1-6 a blast. Well, number 1 is over and even though I started off irritatingly frustrated with the difficulty, after a few levels I thoroughly enjoyed it, awesome!! Can't wait to play 2-6 now.

Didn't realize Nintendo were sending the codes through email. Anyway, just saw that I have 4 codes, one for me and 3 for regular users of N-Europe that would like them. Anyone? Will be playing this for a while, so PM me if interested and I'll get back online in a couple of hours time. Edit: All my codes are now gone. That was quick.

Don't know, but it's only 4 weeks until Season 5 starts (October 12th), so they better get a move on.

I've heard good things about it, and it'll be mine too.
