Wii U eShop Thread

Recommended Posts

Nano Assault Neo should be about £5. I'm not one to normally complain about pricing but the amount of content in that game is really poor for the price it's being sold at. 1 or 2 hours play time and that's it.

 

Play it with a companion and it adds to the longevity, I've put in about 20 hours on it. The 3DS version however, because of the 1 player aspect, I played through once in under 3 hours and haven't picked it up again.

I have 1000 Wii Points left. Should I spend it on an N64 game or should I go for a WiiWare game such as Excitebike: World Challenge?

Building on what Serebii posted in the VC thread.

 

Nintendo eShop (Wii U)

Resident Evil Revelations Demo (Capcom, available tomorrow) - Free

The critically acclaimed survival horror title Resident Evil Revelations returns redefined for console complete with high quality HD visuals, enhanced lighting effects and an immersive sound experience. This latest version of Resident Evil Revelations will also deliver additional content including a terrifying new enemy, extra difficulty mode and improvements to RAID Mode such as new weapons, skill sets, and playable characters including Hunk and Rachael!

 

Super Mario Bros. 2 (Nintendo, NES VC) - €4.99/£3.49

Join Mario and company on a journey to save the world of Subcon from the foul frog tyrant, Wart. Super Mario Bros. 2 offered freedom to explore levels not only horizontally but also vertically; while collecting power-ups, uprooting veggies to throw at enemies and seeking out hidden 'Sub-space' rooms. It was the first Mario title to let players control other characters like Princess Toadstool (Peach) and Toad; each with their own skills. It also featured the first appearance of many Mario series regulars, including Shy Guy and Birdo. This is the US version of the game.

 

Super Ghouls'n Ghosts (Capcom, SNES VC) - €7.99/£5.49

The third game in the legendary Ghosts'n Goblins series, Super Ghouls'n Ghosts follows brave Sir Arthur's quest through demon-infested lands to rescue the kidnapped princess. Battle through deadly stages and beat each level's boss to progress. But watch out: if Arthur is injured his armour breaks, leaving him only in his boxer shorts! Originally developed exclusively for Super NES, this supremely challenging platformer won critical acclaim and became an instant bestseller. This is the US version of the game.

 

Super Metroid (Nintendo, SNES VC) - €0.30/£0.30 (Ends June 14, normally €7.99)

Part of the Family Computer 30th Anniversary Campaign.

 

When space pirates snatch the last remaining Metroid, bounty hunter Samus Aran is called back into action! Use new abilities like the grappling beam and x-ray scope to navigate the massive labyrinths of planet Zebes; battling enemies and enormous bosses with an arsenal of beams, missiles and bomb. Super Metroid is renowned as one of the greatest 2D action games ever made, and paved the way for the MetroidTM Prime series with its innovative blend of exploration, action and secrets galore.

 

This is the European version of the game, which was optimised originally by the developer to offer gameplay and music speed similar to the US version. Demos and animations may run at PAL speed. The aspect ratio has been corrected for this release.

 

Special offers

Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition (Namco Bandai) - €29.99/£23.99 (Permanent, before €54.99/£37.49)

 

BIT.TRIP Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien (Gaijin Games) - €8.99/£8.00 (Ends May 30, normally €11.99/£10.79

 

I think it's an all-around great week for the Wii U. Tempted by Runner 2 at that price. Also I think that's a decent price for Tekken considering you have an external hard drive. Also you'll make some good points off the Deluxe Digital Promotion.

I am very glad that they are being informative about the virtual console games version. As for why they went with the PAL version of Super Metroid, one would guess it's because it has multiple languages. US version has Japanese though!

Hey look what Japan is getting next week...

 

BKRS2ALCYAAGn9O.png:large

 

Looks like we may not have to wait long for Mega Man X, if what Brelston of Capcom said is true :)

 

Certainly much better than having to wait almost the entire lifetime of the console (MMX on Wii VC didn't come out until March 2012! :o )

Probably get Kirby Super Star since it's discounted and haven't played the SNES version.

You've never played it before!? Oh man, you're in for a treat!

 

It's one of my favourite games ever! And is also the basis for the Smash Bros series - you'll be shocked at how much SSB64 took from this game in its design stage...

 

The music alone is just legendary! :D

Definitely agree! The main criticism to be levelled at Kirby games(and it isn't false) is that they're not much of a challenge - however I think they're just amazing games given you can choose to play with whatever ability you like - or not at all!

 

Dream Course is pretty good once you get into it too, different but good!

Yep, this is true... until you get to the boss rush mode in each game, where is suddenly becomes bollock hard :laughing:

 

You can make it quite challenging though if you choose to play it in certain ways, with user imposed restrictions like only using certain copy powers and such. That's the great thing about the Kirby games, you can play them however you want - they're very freeform in terms of design :)

ONLY Metroid is live at the minute. They last a month before they are replaced with the new one.
