retroed Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 It's only £12.99 at GAME too, with £2.50 in reward points. It's a very stripped down version from what I've heard. We have Steel Diver now, but I won't be getting it. I played through LEGO PotC and it was enjoyable, but nowhere near as long as The Clone Wars. I'm looking forward to getting Ocarina of Time later this month. E3 next week too, and we'll have the eShop available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 and we'll have the eShop available. Is that the VC? If so that means Super Mario Land is an insta-purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 There's still nothing to tempt me. I'd buy Ocarina of Time if I had one, but it won't make me go and buy a 3DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroed Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Sneak peak of the new points cards in Japan. They say Wii, DSi, and 3DS. Does this mean that current points cards will work? I have 6000 on their way, if I can use them it's a bonus. If not, I'll grab some DSiWare and VC stuff. EDIT: looks like they're 1000 and 2000 YEN cards, I didn't notice at first.

retroed Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 eShop details. May vary for us. ie: $3.99 for Super Mario Land probably won't be priced accordingly for us. I'd guess it will be £3.99.

retroed Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I had a SpotPass on my 3DS earlier, informing me of the forthcoming update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I did the update at 6am this morning but the shop was still closed for maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 did the update, the browser seems alright, not tried it with video yet but I might use it for browsing in bed from now on rather than my phone. It's easier to type quickly with a stylus but I think my phone browser is quicker, we'll see Downloaded Excitebike and that pokemon thing, at first I was liking the layout of the store, but then I went looking for DSi stuff and it's actually stupid. You get to see popular stuff and most recent stuff, but if there's a lot of games you have to use the search option, and that only displays something like 5 results at a time. The pricing is a bit off, over £10 for some of the dsi games, and the price nintendo are charging for ancient GB games is a bit off, mario at least On that note though is there anything on the dsiware side that I should get?

I just downloaded the update and Excitebike, seemed to download fairly quickly. I'm going to get Super Mario Land, despite the high price (£3.60) in comparison to what the US have it available for ($3.99). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 yeah reflect missile is good, i liked picopict and metal torrent too. i think i'm going to leave my dsiware stuff on the xl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I managed to link my Club Nintendo account fine, first time. The prices on the eShop for DSiWare stuff seems way overpriced. Shantae is £10.80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 On that note though is there anything on the dsiware side that I should get? Flipnote studio & Shantae I cant get my eShop connected to Club Nintendo Anyone else have that problem. Even reset and changed my password. I've tried getting on their website proper and it's crashing, could be their servers getting hammered (they're streaming the conference from there later). It was working before when I synched And like Ed says Shantae is a stupid price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The Game Boy games have save states. Edit: Also, if you hit Home menu and exit a GB game, it saves exactly where you left it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 £4 for a classic old Gameboy game seems ok value to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
