Aneres11 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 This weeks Wii U eShop releases. [*]Yoshi's Woolly World £34.99 (€39.99) [*]Free Bonus Game until 23rd July 2015: Download Code for Yoshi Touch & Go for Wii U included as a free bonus for every purchase of Yoshi’s Woolly World from Nintendo eShop. The download code will be shown on the screen after purchase and on the receipt. The download code is valid until 21st August 2015. I didn't know they were including a free download of Yoshi Touch n Go for a digital download. Pretty good. Though I guess they need to try and entice some people with a digital copy seeing as one of the boxed versions comes with that amiibo!
S.C.G Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 To be fair, after the dust settles they should just let Yoshi Touch & Go become a general freebie, or at least discount it to half price, it's hardly a game, more an extended demo. I paid full rrp for it back in the day. [/NotBitter]

Kounan Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Should I get Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition, Batman Arkham Origins, Call of Duty Ghost, or Call of Duty Black Ops?
dazzybee Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Should I get Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition, Batman Arkham Origins, Call of Duty Ghost, or Call of Duty Black Ops? Arkham City. Amazing game.
Kounan Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Thank you, I've ordered it, even if I didn't fancy it, but have to try it as people do seem to like it . Was 8,58 pound (shipment included in the price ).
Londragon Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Should I get Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition, Batman Arkham Origins, Call of Duty Ghost, or Call of Duty Black Ops? Arkham CIty is amazing, truly a Metroid/Zelda game with flowing combat, well integrated stealth and flight sections. The GamePad use makes this the definitive issue. Some people have complained of the frame rate, but I didn't have any problems (bar one Wii U lock-up) throughout my play through. I now want to play through it again.
Kounan Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 I'hope I am going to like it , but first let's hope the shipment has no problems .
Happenstance Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Such a shame that Arkham Asylum didnt make it to the Wii U as well. I understand Arkham Knight not coming but its both Asylum and City play quite differently with the more cramped, Asylum and the more open City.

I understand Arkham Knight not coming but its both Asylum and City play quite differently with the more cramped, Asylum and the more open City. It's still quite disgusting they never released them both in a pack at launch! They were old games, much cheaper on other platforms and they charged full price for one game.
D_prOdigy Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I'hope I am going to like it , but first let's hope the shipment has no problems . Whilst we're on the theme of third party Wii U ports, I would place Deus Ex Human Revolution DX absolutely at the top of the pile, presuming you've not already played it.
Kounan Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 No I haven't, but it has to be on sale for me to buy it , as "big" money I am prepared only to sell on Nintendo IP's because I don't have many as I've bought the console not that long ago .
D_prOdigy Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Check the eShop price. I don't think it's very very cheap on there (like ZombiU), but I'm sure it's below RRP.

I now want to play through it again. Arkham City is fantastic. Looks great as well on the big screen. However, it is the one game which really put me off the whole WiiU Off-TV screen thing. I tried playing that on the GamePad screen and it is just so incredible difficult to see what the hell you're doing or where you're flying. It's designed for the big screen.
Kounan Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Check the eShop price. I don't think it's very very cheap on there (like ZombiU), but I'm sure it's below RRP. I am using Rakuten/Base to order games now, as at the end it's cheaper, because I don't have to pay tax if it's under 25 euros. Rakuten/Base give sometimes free points, like few day ago (500) which is worth 5 pounds so with that the game was less then 9 pounds at the and . I will try the same deal with Deux Ex, unless there is some big sale on eshop. Edited June 28, 2015 by Kounan
Wii Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Nintendo keeping digital prices up, hints at mild compensation Tied to new membership program Nintendo's Satoru Iwata addressed the fact that eShop games are priced the same as their retail counterparts despite the cost savings of digital distribution. This comes from an investor briefing reported live by Nstyles and translated by Cheesemeister. According to Iwata, it's about maintaining perceived value, not unlike why Nintendo retail games are almost never priced down. "We believe download versions have the same value and should be priced the same," Iwata said. "Some companies price downloads cheaper due to the there being no used sales or store price reductions. We stress the value of Nintendo software, so we price the same." Ok, but that doesn't necessarily excuse why we should pay the same. Digital has convenience, physical has safer ownership (save for snapping a disc with your fat ass) and saved hard drive space. "We plan to provide some benefit with the new membership service starting in the fall," Iwata added. You may remember that Club Nintendo is closing and that Nintendo is starting a new membership program this fall co-developed by mobile partner DeNA. It, "can be deployed on multiple devices, such as Nintendo's game systems, smart devices and PCs." Not sure how the service could give added value just to those who buy digitally, though. http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-keeping-digital-prices-up-hints-at-mild-compensation-294973.phtml
Hero-of-Time Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-keeping-digital-prices-up-hints-at-mild-compensation-294973.phtml I don't agree with that statement at all, especially his reasoning. Had he said that they need to keep the prices the same to keep retailers happy, then I would have no issue with that. Digital games SHOULD be cheaper due to the retailer costs not being a factor. Sadly, most of the companies either charge the same or even more than what retailers offer. Doing promotions, such as the Yoshi Woolly World one, is a step in the right direction, though.

Had he said that they need to keep the prices the same to keep retailers happy, then I would have no issue with that. That's obviously the main reason, he just can't come out and say it.

V. Amoleo Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Two cracking DS games this week. Unfortunately I have to put the obligatory 'I wish this was on the 3DS instead'.
Londragon Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Lego: JW is there a mistake with the UK price? No, at least that's what the official Nintendo press release has the price down for. Most Lego games (on Wii U) retail for that price in the UK.
