the app for me said 10 off 10 but the email I just got says 10 off 200 >.> and now the app says 10 off 200 in the clipped section
I'm trying to work my way through all the eShop credit I got from GS too. I bought Shadows of Adam today, I saw a lot of good reviews about it, and I like me some retro RPGs. Plus the system looks pretty fun.
I'm gathering a bunch of eShop credit for the 3DS and Wii U eShop before they go bye bye. I have a shopping list...
Nintendo likely doesn't have that much first party content on the horizon, so they're focusing on individual releases. Last month was Xenoblade, Splatoon has a demo and then a proper launch on the 9th, Bayonetta is October, Pokemon is November. Zelda is still a vague 2023, Metroid Prime 4 is TBA, and the only other first party title they have on their quarterly financial chart is the delayed Advance Wars remake. Plenty of rumors are around over ports of Zelda Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 1-3 collection, and a couple others just sitting and waiting for a good release date, but they just don't have anything solid to announce.
You don't think it's strange that the last real Direct was way back in February? That was for games releasing in the first half of this year. We're almost in September and still no Direct. They didn't even do one during that summer not-e3 thing, even though every other usual company had at least some stream or show during that time. It's just weird.
I’m in the same boat. The list I’ve put together of all the retro games I’m going to buy on 3DS and Wii U before the shops close is ridiculously huge!
Anything good on the WIiU that’s not gonna be on switch?
Primarily the DS and GBA virtual console, plus being able to get Metroid Prime Trilogy for $20. For me, the list is:
The main game I'd suggest is Xenoblade Chronicles X. MAYBE we'll eventually get it... but it will need some work to make the transition due to how the tablet was used and so far there's been no push to make it happen. Though IMO if they are going to do it, it would be the next game to do after the XC3 dlc is done and released.
Thanks for this information. I have both of these in my collection and will make sure to download the free content soon.
Keep an eye out for Atlus sales. Those SMT games regularly go on sale. You have a really good list too. I have a lot of the 3DS stuff on your list already purchased. I also recommend Bravely Default and the Professor Layton games since physical copies are crazy expensive, at least where I've looked.
Amazon is reputable, what's not reputable is their warehouses/warehouse people who mix stock from their marketplace sellers. I'm not sure how common the issue is but it does happen. I've only had it happen to me once, with rechargeable batteries sold/shipped by Amazon.com but once I received it, something about the package looked off and it had a white sticker on the back over the UPC, which is something I often noticed with items from marketplace sellers.
I would price match if I could. Amazon seems to have a unique model number for it. I know that a lot of time stores each get a unique model number so you can’t price match.
I just ordered a Sandisk 256 gb Micro SD card from Best Buy yesterday for $29.99, and unlike with Gamestop, Best Buy gave me free shipping without having to spend $49.
Agree with this. I called once about potentially fake eneloops that they do not comingle inventory that’s sold and shipped by Amazon. They have their own supply. It’s all the 3rd party sellers that get commingled.
Find someone with a Wii U and set up an account there.
Wii U accounts are tied to consoles and to do a transfer to a different console you'd have to do a full system transfer which would transfer the friends account too. In this scenario you'd have to call Nintendo to do an account transfer, which having done somewhat recently wasn't super pleasant, but that was largely due to a Wii outage that prevented any account transfer which has since been resolved.
I intended to get a Wii U back in May, but have been dealing with a crapton of obnoxious health issues starting in April and just haven’t been able to set aside the time and money to trawl through ebay listings, so yes, essentially.
First do this:
Will it wake the Switch up from Sleep? This is the single biggest missing feature imo and I have seen other 3rd party Switch controllers able to do it but never 8BitDO.
I notice that too, but this is making the rounds (reddit, nintendo news, etc) saying it's compatible with the switch. Whatever the case, I'm fine with my official pro controller.
