Before the thread is derailed by beemoh talking about what he enjoys

I didn't say I liked that sort of thing. I'm more into The contents of this post can only be viewed between the hours of 11PM and 3AM

Downloaded Kirby for 30p, and I don't like the way the picture looks on the gamepad at all. I want square edged pixels godammit. Didn't actually see what it looked like on the TV as I had Bid.TV on at the time

(About Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party:) Coming to the Wii U's Eshop (look for it on YouTube).

Oh goodness. http://www.knapnokgames.com/press/sheet.php?p=spin_the_bottle/

I mean, really, I... what is... my brain just... (collapses)

EDIT: I just searched some more of their site, and... Dark Room Sex Game? What? (collapses afresh)

EDITEDIT: Odd though this is, it's a minor curio that I think fits better in the thread it's now in. Sorry Kieron.

Went and downloaded Spelunker despite never hearing of it until a few hours ago, seems like it might be right up my street, either that or it'll induce me in to a raging coma.

anyone else download mario and yoshi for 30p

To be honest, I hope no-one's downloaded Mario & Yoshi - it's pretty poor.

i did as it's only 30p

that's 80p more than it should be though

Exactly, would rather have some Transform-a-snacks.

Embarrassingly, I can't find the thread where I wished for a subscription option for Virtual Console (either as a whole on a per platform basis), in which we'd get access to a bunch of games that we want to try (For giggles in the case of the bad ones) but wouldn't shell out the flat fee for.

But anyway, it looks like Sony's beaten Nintendo to the punch (that I dreamed up), as I found yesterday that on Japanese PS Plus they are offering access to 123 PS1 games, with a fair few decent titles in the pack.

Your move, Nintendo! (Pleeeeease?)

Do you ever think anyone will offer C64 support? Monty on the Run would be perfect.

Out this week on the eshop

F1 Race Stars Powered Up Edition £39.99 seems to be doing a fist of the north star being eshop only
Balloon Fight £3.49 for the one person that didn't buy it for 30p
Vegas Stakes £5.49

and game and wario £34.99 which is also at retail.

Wonder what Codemasters were thinking, releasing an 8 months late version of F1 for £39.99?

Is any of the extra content exclusive to Wii U, I wonder?

Good to know Balloon Fight is receiving an update for 60hz, if I knew that would have been the case I'd have bought it when it was 30p...

I think it's the 360/ps3 version with all the dlc of F1 Race Stars

Played the psn demo and its a load of shite.

Played the full game when I got it on PS+, actually quite enjoyable, not £40 enjoyable but defenitely "wait for it to drop in price to at least £20" enjoyable.

this week

The King Of Fighters 99 Wii 900 Points

yep that's it, apart from Hyper Drive Edition of Mighty Switch Force on offer for a week at £5.99

Did that not make it to Wii VC's C64 library, then? (I must admit I never really checked that).

No, Monty On The Run never made it to the C64 section of the Wii VC - nor did any of the Dizzy games. The only C64 classic I remember that we did get is IK+, which I recommend if you have a few mates to play it with.

There are fewer Wii U eShop games than I thought at the minute, though with all these Kickstarters that NintendoLife report on, it seems like we're going to get loads of titles in the medium term.

That or Paradroid (although its sister Ranarama is better, it never made it onto the VC)
Sorry, derailed - please continue

Out this week
Star Wars Pinball £7.99
Donkey Kong 30p

It looks like NoE are stealth-releasing EarthBound - it's listed in this week's news update on the Wii U eShop.

Say whaaaat?  Time to top up my eShop account if so!

Yeah, looks like it's all systems go for EarthBound - North America is getting it today for ten dollars: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/82s5n1dbV4gstayVNhVYtOneSXTIXACS

Has anybody played or even got EarthBound? I'm willing to give it a try.
