S.C.G Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Is that OlliOlli a new release or just price reduction? New release, can buy it for £6.79 until 19/03/15 it seems, cross-buy on the same NNID is a nice bonus.
Happenstance Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 New release, can buy it for £6.79 until 19/03/15 it seems, cross-buy on the same NNID is a nice bonus. Ah right. Was just wondering as it seemed weird to be releasing it now with OlliOlli2 coming out next week.

Wii Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 As part of Wayforward's 25th anniversary celebration will have the following games discounted on the eShop: Nintendo Wii U eShop (3/12/-3/19, North America, Europe, Australia/New Zealand): – Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition (Wii U) – 75% off – Mighty Switch Force! 2 (Wii U) – 75% off – Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse (Wii U) – 25% off
Grazza Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 – Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition (Wii U) – 75% off– Mighty Switch Force! 2 (Wii U) – 75% off – Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse (Wii U) – 25% off Brilliant! Was just about to get Mighty Switch Force on Wii U and now it's cheaper!
S.C.G Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Now I can consider buying Shantae and the Pirate's Curse! : peace: Not that it wasn't already reasonably priced, there just didn't seem to be much point purchasing it right away during a busy release period, but now I shall snap it up at that price.
Wii Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 €3.50 for both games is fairly sweet. The original is €10 while the sequel is €5. How come? Also noticed the sequel is a quarter the size of the original. Is it a short game? Must read up about it.

Also noticed the sequel is a quarter the size of the original. Is it a short game? Must read up about it. I assume you are on about the MSF games. The original was given a nice HD make over while the sequel was just ported over from the 3DS.
Wii Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Yep, thanks, just read that. http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/mighty_switch_force_2
Grazza Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Now I can consider buying Shantae and the Pirate's Curse! : peace: Not that it wasn't already reasonably priced, there just didn't seem to be much point purchasing it right away during a busy release period, but now I shall snap it up at that price. Yep, you, Wii and others were proven to be wiser! That said, I couldn't not buy it straight away. I had to! €3.50 for both games is fairly sweet. The original is €10 while the sequel is €5. How come? Also noticed the sequel is a quarter the size of the original. Is it a short game? Must read up about it. My Activity Log says 17 hours for the 1st game, with just under 11 hours for the 2nd (subtract time spent just listening to the music ). The 2nd game is quite short if you don't go for the Par times though. The best way to explain it is this: Mighty Switch Force (3DS) - 16 stages + 5 bonus stages Mighty Switch Force 2 (3DS) - 16 stages Mighty Switch Force (Wii U) - 16 stages + 5 bonus stages + all those remixed (42 total) Mighty Switch Force 2 (Wii U) - 16 stages That's my understanding anyway (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). They've just made a port of MSF 2 for iOS, so maybe there will be some bonus stages for that one day? Who knows? Great games anyway, all three of them, and I hope they get a bigger audience now.
Glen-i Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 It's imperative that you get MSF 2 and Shantae on 3DS, guys. The WiiU version doesn't do those games any favours. MSF 1 on the other hand should definitely be gotten on WiiU. That price is so good, I might just double dip on MSF 1 despite owning the 3DS version.

Excellent advice, but if you don't have a 3DS I wouldn't actually avoid the Wii U versions. Shantae (haven't played MSF 2 yet) doesn't look bad on a GamePad.
Miharin Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Why is it so bad to have Shantae on Wii U? I have Shovel Knight on Wii U and I don't mind pixels on a big screen.
Glen-i Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Why is it so bad to have Shantae on Wii U? I have Shovel Knight on Wii U and I don't mind pixels on a big screen. Shovel Knight WiiU was made with the WiiU in mind. So it looks great. Shantae on the other hand is literally the 3DS version but blown up. The sprites don't look great on TV. Check out the Miiverse community to see what I mean. Or ask Goron_3. Downloaded this on the cheap from the Russian eShop and loving it so far! Reminds me of Gaucamelee although I kind of wish I got the 3DS version as it does look a bit too stretched on my TV Controls very well though. Of course, if you don't have a 3DS. The WiiU one is still great, but the 3DS one is the ideal version. Edited March 4, 2015 by Glen-i
Goron_3 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Why is it so bad to have Shantae on Wii U? I have Shovel Knight on Wii U and I don't mind pixels on a big screen. As @Glen\-i has mentioned, the Wii U version is simply the 3DS one but blown up, whereas Shovel Knight is designed to run on a big screen. That said, it looks very good on the gamepad!
Grazza Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Shantae on the other hand is literally the 3DS version but blown up. The sprites don't look great on TV.Check out the Miiverse community to see what I mean. Or ask Goron_3. Not that I disagree, but you can't put a real 1080p screen grab on Miiverse - whichever image you select (TV or GamePad), the result on Miiverse is similar to what you see on the GamePad.

Wii Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Fingers crossed we don't get yet another $h1t€ week of releases for the Wii U. The Mighty Switch Force price reduction come Thursday will ensure at least 1 purchase, more than likely 2.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Freedom Planet Official Launch Trailer This is coming to the eShop. Looks decent but I'd suggest muting the start. We are finally getting a good Sonic game on the Wii U! I've been wanting to play this for a while now. Gaf have sung it's praises since it released.

The Fall is a unique combination of adventure-game puzzle solving, and side-scroller action, all set within a dark and atmospheric story. Exploration will be paramount to surviving your adventure.

V. Amoleo Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 We're still yet to receive a Wii game that can be played just using the GamePad, aren't we? I wonder if they're having to wait for an OS update.

nekunando Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I recall @Fierce_LiNk showing an interest in Metroid Zero Mission recently so just thought I'd bring his attention to it's impending availability on Wii U
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I recall @Fierce_LiNk showing an interest in Metroid Zero Mission recently so just thought I'd bring his attention to it's impending availability on Wii U I do still want to play it, but I'm not exactly in a rush to at the moment as I've got a lot of games that I'm either already joining or at yet to start. Plus, my WiiU has been disconnected for at least a month. Maybe two. Can't see that changing any time soon. (also, not sure how much space I have left on the drive...)

To be honest, I'm not particularly keen on the idea of playing handheld games from GBA and DS on Wii U If you're not desperate to play it right now, I'd say wait for Nintendo's next handheld as I'd imagine it pretty likely you'll be able to download it on there. That's if you can stomach buying another Nintendo console again. You've changed
