Information about eShop credit and Nintendo Points, and their differences:

On 12/10/2012 at 13:08, Super Craig said:

To clear up the confusion:

Nintendo Points = Wii / DS

eShop credit = Wii U / 3DS

You can't share points or credit between systems. If you have a redeemable code, you can only use it on one system. Both the Wii U and 3DS allow you to pay the exact amount for a piece of content using a credit/debit card.

Club Nintendo

You can only use the Club Nintendo Stars Catalogue to buy Nintendo Points. You might be able to earn more stars by doing surveys for the games you've bought. You can check in the "Registered Systems & Games" page.

Nintendo Network Premium

If you have a Premium Wii U, then you'll earn 8 points for every £1 you spend on the eShop. This includes download codes like the Nintendo Land codes that Amazon gave out. When you have 500 points you'll get £5 of eShop credit. You can get your codes at https://p.nintendo.net/

Hope this helps.

Assassin's Creed 3 as well.

[Yewone]

Shit isn't Pikmin a launch title either? My release day list is getting smaller by the minute.

... and my wallets breathing a sigh of relief

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Wallets plural? Look at mr. Moneybags here.

[scottcr]

It's all about ZombiU for me

[SMD]

It's all about ZombiU for me

My excitement dulled at the prospect of it being £17.99 within a couple of months.

[mdn2]

What the hell is Tank! Tank! Tank!? Some sort of multiple-goldfish-habitat game?

For someone who isn't getting one and can't even be arsed to change a thread title... You sure like posting in Wii U threads!

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Well, of course. I couldn't think of anything I'd rather be doing on a Saturday night!

[Droo]

I for one am ready to welcome my Gamepad wielding overlords.

[Stanley]

Do I need to point out the error in the first post?

[Droo]

The year of our lord, two thousand and twelve anno domini...

[Chooch]

I was hoping for a neogaf style mega first op

[mdn2]

Maybe deKays date of Nov 2013 is when you'll be able to walk into a shop and buy one off the shelves, given how few there seems to be for this year.

[deKay]

I'm glad someone actually told me it wasn't 2013. I was all ready to post wtf you all on about? It's 2013.

Then realised it's 2012.

Which means I've been signing orders and invoices wrong all week. Ah well. People didn't need paying yet anyway.

[Chopsocky]

Launch window eShop games seem to be:

• Trine 2
  
• Mighty Switch Force HD
  
• Mutant Mudds HD
  
• Toki Tori 2
  
• Chasing Aurora
  
• Little Inferno
  
• Cloudberry Kingdom
  
• Nano Assault Neo
  

Other stuff like Double Fine's 'The Cave' coming early 2013.

I'm surprised Nintendo doesn't have any eShop games of their own for launch.

Is there anywhere keeping track of which games can be played on gamepad alone?

[strider]

Is there anything about virtual console yet.

Is there anything about virtual console yet.

Reggie said he'd love to see GameCube games on the Wii U VC when asked about it. Some have taken that as a hint. I'm not sure it'll happen.

Officially, we only know about transferring and accessing our Wii VC purchases. There's a Wii mode option on the main menu. That'll take you to the bog standard Wii Menu, where you'll be able to access your VC and Wii Ware games as well as the old Wii Shop Channel.

Seems a bit cumbersome, but I suppose Nintendo are worried that the Wii U will be hacked through the Wii backwards compatibility if it isn't sandboxed properly.

[Red Alignment]

Let's all just save time and disappointment and assume that the Wii U Virtual Console will be as crap and uncompetitively priced as the Wii one. (Really, it was a huge letdown.)

[TehStu]

Probably due to the election, but this has had hardly a mention over here. Only realised it was out soon because of a display stand in GameStop.

How was it a huge let down?

Over here in Dutchland it's also pretty silent still. There's been a couple of 'Wii U is coming, pre order now' posters and stuff half-arsedly stuck on walls in some stores, but there isn't much of a buzz yet.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

How was it a huge let down?

They never released Unirally.

[Super Craig]

They never released McDonaldland either. Bastards.

[JPickford]

Can the doom and gloomers just use the old thread?

I'm excited.

[Droo]

I'm excited too!

[jonnatar]

So there's a shorter version of the PEW PEW PEW advert that just shows the ninja star game, with the voiceover going "Yeah, this is great...now I need to learn how to shoot!" And then it ends. It is terrible.
