Hero-of-Time Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 The DLC Nintendo Direct is supposed to be on for us Europeans. Thanks for the notice, Nintendo.
Dcubed Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 EU version of the NSMB2 Nintendo Direct out now! http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/nintendo_direct_47764.html The Skinny: 1st set of 3 DLC packs is out today for us here in EU! (lol NOA, lol Japan) 2nd set comes out End of October 3rd set comes out end of November Nice!
Serebii Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Woop woop Time to smash Coin Rush! Just got the SpotPass!
Dcubed Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) WTF!? Why haven't I got my Spotpass notification yet!? Spot Pass feature unlock is kinda interesting... Does kinda make me worry about what might happen if someone buys the game down the line and they're not sending out the notification any more. How else is someone meant to access the ingame store? Edit: Oh never mind, apparently they said that if you haven't played in a long time, it will take longer to receive the message for the packs... I suppose the Spotpass message is pinged from the server when you play the game and it prepares a data package with your total coin count to be sent to Nintendo. I suppose that means that the Spotpass message will continue to get sent automatically and indefinitely so long as the 3DS online service continues to run (which is presumably forever) Edited October 2, 2012 by Dcubed
Serebii Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 We're getting screwed on the price though. £6 for all three
Dcubed Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 We're getting screwed on the price though. £6 for all three Talk about a price hike! £2 per pack!? It's like Theatrhythm (US and EU got the DLC songs cheaper than Japan did) but in reverse
Serebii Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Talk about a price hike! £2 per pack!? It's like Theatrhythm (US and EU got the DLC songs cheaper than Japan did) but in reverse What irks me is that they're 200 Yen and $2...and €2...based on usual pricing, it should be like £1.40 for us
Dcubed Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Ok got my message. Annoying to see that they offer absolutely no discount for buying the 3 pack set Would've been perfect to see that go for £5 Ahh well, the shop music is nice at least
Serebii Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Nerve Wracking Pack really lives to its name lol
Jimbob Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Wait, thats the price of the DLC. Better be worth it, but i guess it won't. £2 a pack, it would be cheaper to go to France and download it.
Dcubed Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Only tried the Coin Challenge pack so far, but it's fun. I like how it has a different focus in its level design than the levels in the main game. Gives me a nice SMA4 vibe Also nice to see the fat hammer bros return from SMB3/NSMB Wii - Good to see that the new levels also have new enemies/mechanics to play with Will try the other two packs later (looking forward to giving the Nerve Wracking Pack a shot on my work commute!)
Lens of Truth Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Also nice to see the fat hammer bros return from SMB3/NSMB Wii - Good to see that the new levels also have new enemies/mechanics to play with He's in World 2-2 as well. Can't wait to try these later on. Thanks for the heads up!
Dcubed Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Oh wow, the Gold Rush pack is ridiculous! Got 30,000 on my first try. You really will rack up a million coins in no time with this one I haven't managed to beat the first level of the Nerve Wracking Pack yet! (It really does deserve all 5 difficulty stars! ) Can't help myself from trying to go for the Gold Flower in the first level Has anyone managed to beat the level while also nabbing the flower yet?
MindFreak Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Perhaps I'll buy the Nerve Wrecking Pack but the price is way too high, sadly.
RedShell Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Damn. They should have at least made the Three-Pack Set a fiver, greedy buggers.
Serebii Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Damn. They should have at least made the Three-Pack Set a fiver, greedy buggers. Meh, Nintendo needs the money to prove their philosophy is good before investors etc. push harder for them to become a "me too" company. I'm happy to spend £6 on these :p
Retro_Link Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Meh, Nintendo needs the money to prove their philosophy is good before investors etc. push harder for them to become a "me too" company. I'm happy to spend £6 on these :p Yes but you're also minted. :p
killer kirby Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 It's obvious that Nintendo hired those people who made those impossible hack lvls on the old mario games to make Nerve Wrecking Pack Oh and Aus got it for $9
Ronnie Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Perhaps I'll buy the Nerve Wrecking Pack but the price is way too high, sadly. £2 is hardly going break the bank surely. Can't believe people are arguing over a few pennies. Greedy Nintendo, they didn't give us a £1 discount!! [/sarcasm]

Greedy Nintendo, they didn't give us a £1 discount!! [/sarcasm] No point in putting sarcasm at the end of the post, I only had to read the first sentence to know that you were either drunk or sarcastic.
Ronnie Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Oooh so cutting. Shame my first sentence gave neither impression.
Serebii Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Due to the new DLC, I've gone up from 170,000 to 500,000. Hope the rest of the DLC is great because I hate grinding
Grazza Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Hmm, no DLC for me. £2 per pack is not bad, but if there are eventually three sets at £6 each (and I've done my maths right), you'd end up paying £18 for the whole lot. What are the chances you'll really think it was worth paying £18 just to expand your game a bit? I'm sorry, I know it's optional, but I hope it's not a sign of the future. The only one I'm tempted by is the Gold Rush pack, but I'd be paying real money just to get virtual money. The more I think about it, the more I think the coin-collecting aspect of NSMB 2 is an enormous experiment in satire!
