Wii U eShop
Knytt Underground (Ripstone, ?8.99 / ?7.99) ? The work of well-known Indie developer Nifflas, this title makes the jump from various other platforms onto the Wii U. Perhaps unlike any other download game on the system to date, it looks set to be an atmospheric experience that requires exploration and curiosity, as well as manipulation of various abilities ? including a ball form. This also includes extra 'Hype Infinity' content that was previously PC-only; until our review is ready you can check out our extended developer interview in part one and part two.

Meh little inferno and Nano Assault Neo on sale again?? Nintendo's complete lack of understanding of how to create a thriving online marketplace still amazes me.
Its not like they haven't got a massive backlog of games to rely on, where a year in now why is the content still so sparse?? how about some VC discounts or something other than nes and snes games on vc, how about some Gamecube or N64 games we know they run on the wiiu as we have them running on the wii,
anything has to be better than the same few games discounted over and over.

I can understand why they drip feed VC games, they've got 3 or 4 years to support the Wii U so spacing a AAAA classic out every few months probably gives each enough space to be an event and excite people enough to buy it (Super Mario World, Earthbound, LTTP were all notable, SMB3 will probably be the next big one. Then Super Mario Kart around MK8 and Yoshi's Island around Yarn Yoshi or the 3DS game). Hopefully we'll then see the promised N64/GBA games.
I'm not too sure we'll see Gamecube on VC, the file sizes would be murder to a Basic 8GB Wii U and then I question if people are that bothered about enough Gamecube games. The Wind Waker HD negates that game on VC, if they release Pikmin 1 and 2 it'll probably be an HD version of the "New Play Control" Wii ports so there's another two down. Beyond that there's Luigi's Mansion but I can't imagine Chibi Robo and Viewtiful Joe are things Nintendo see as setting the world alight, Super Mario Sunshine is probably behind Super Mario Galaxy HD on everyone's wish list too.

I noticed on reddit Nintendo of America where sending out vouchers to selected wiiu users with a "big thanks for supporting us" message, it even had a little pic of Reggie on it was very cool, I've also noticed the American stars cat has a lot more stuff on it including game downloads. And if Nintendo of America where also doing discounts too for the last few weeks I feel like as a uk Nintendo gammer I've been well and truly forgotten about.

There are games downloads in our stars catalogue but there's barely a new one every month, just the same few recycling. Those Mario Kart Trophies? We never got those. Pikmin bits? Nope.
The discounts on VC games were only a few percent. Otherwise the deals we've all had on WiiU stuff has been the same.
Personally, I think there is a balance between regions these days, but it's easy for the grass to look greener elsewhere.

They were mainly vouchers for use in Pizza Hut USA J0e, not store credit or anything. Did see someone got a $40 one.
Got a feeling it was a pop-up on the 3DS rather than email, so if you've sold it on you could be stumped either way.
Reggie used to work at Pizza Hut back in the day I believe.Last edited by VR46; 16-12-2013, 16:41.
