It's a pretty sweet game too. The only better Art Style game is Boxlife.

No interest in DK Jr and I already have the other three.
Coins saved.
At this point I kind of hate Punch-Out, honestly.

I'll take a look at Pictobits, I already got Donkey Kong Jr. from the ambassador games. I just wish they would move on from the DSiware games to proper eShop downloads.
Punch-Out was already released, so you can upgrade that one right away. Who knows when Super Mario RPG will be released, though.
Edit: Eh, this is probably already the actual WiiU version of Punch-Out, since it has an extra "WiiU" in the description.

If already released then yeah it probably is the actual WiiU version, yay!

I really want Mario RPG but I don't want to have to go out and buy a pro controller. I guess I'll just hold onto my 1,000+ coins.
Thanks again, Nintendo.

I guess you expect these games to be playable with Wiimote+nunchuck? How else would you play a SNES game without a controller fit for it?
It's unfortunate that Wii U doesn't support GC controllers but that's been the case since The Gen 2 Wii.
A while ago I saw Classic Controller Pros for $10 and bought four. I'm quite set on that front.
Also THIS because I'm an idiot and completely forgot about the Gamepad.
But that's only for Wii U versions. You can't use the Gamepad as a controller in Wii Mode.
I know this drum's been beaten a million times, but it still baffles me why they aren't releasing NES/SNES games on the 3DS. From a purely business angle, it just makes more sensethere are something like 10 million more 3DS Wii U units U n the world, if I recall correctly. I'd throw lots of cash at A Link to the Past, Earthbound, etc.
There are NES games on the 3DS VC.

As noted in the other thread, 3DS' Punch Out is a reward too ... or at least it was for a few seconds but the link remains
If you have 1000+ coins and nothing else you want, why not download Mario RPG anyway? It's 1st party Nintendo, so there's almost no way it won't get a Wii U version someday. Then you only have to worry about the upgrade fee.
Or, invest in a classic controller anyway. There's tons of great SNES games in Wii mode if you don't care to wait. They retail for $20 and I see them on amazon for $11 right now.
I'll get Mario RPG to buy discounted when it becomes available in WiiU VC..3 years from now
Funny thing is I did that too... Last time it was a Club Nintendo reward several months ago.
Indeed there are....oops.

what?
you do know you can play SNES games with the gamepad as controller, right?
You do not need to buy an extra controller for VC games
edit: I guess he meant the Wii VC version

Can't use the gamepad for Wii VC games. Only Wii U.
SMRPG is not a Wii U VC games, it's a Wii one.
I didn't see this factoid mentioned, from this week's Euro press release (hopefully NOA does the same):
"Special Offer: If you have purchased Dr. Luigi by 20/02/2014 you can download Dr. Mario for free from Nintendo eShop on the same Wii U!"
So, Nintendo is actually being smart with that. Had to make a note of it haha.

Nintendo seriously need to renew licence with Mike Tyson to release Mike Tyson's Punch Out! I've been holding back on getting the original NES Punch Out! for this reason.
Also, Super Mario RPG on the 3DS would be very nice.

Yeah, I refuse to buy the game without him.
I wouldn't say there was anything inevitable about it!
Now I'm just angry again.
Nice. Bring on more. I'd love to replay some of these games with Miiverse.

Not sure if this was posted already, or even if this is the right thread for it, but I've been told by someone who's been in communication with the creator of Unepic via Miiverse that the guy is happy with the sales of the game. The game became profitable after 3 days.
Doesn't surprise me it's going well, looking at the eShop charts. But 3 days? Impressive.

It is an exceptional shooter for the MSX! Does have the trademarked jerky background scrolling of all the MSX shooters (but more fluid, relative), but it has such great sprites and gameplay and music that that soon is forgotten.
The VC port on original Wii was great. Gonna double-dip for Wii U for sure!
Not released anywhere else. It is a pretty rare and pricey title.
There are a lot of youtubes out there. Some seem a little smoother than other. I'm guessing emulation differences. Should be able to play on PCs (emulator/mame or something).
VC release is solid, though. Looks great on CRT or through a Mini.
