Wii U

I wonder how they'll work out the secret code that you could only see by dipping the manual in water.

IIRC, the Wii VC release had the code in its digital manual.

Dip the gamepad in water.

Was that seriously a thing?

Was the manual water-proof or something?

Yes, that was a thing.

As noted, the Wii VC release simply put a button on the digital manual to simulate.

Oh yeah, the second one, too!

Any Final Fantasy Games on the Virtual Console?

I'm been wanting to Give Final Fantasy V a try all of a sudden. Mostly due to Gilgamesh.

I was hoping to try the GBA version, but I checked both the 3DS E-shop and Wii U E-shop and didn't see it, which is a shame.

you know a while back there was the Humble Bundle for Wii U and 3DS.

Is there a console section on the humble store website? Because the only thing I could find there was "find by OS" and "find by DMR" which pretty much only gives me Windows, Mac, Android and Steam.

The Humble Store doesn't generally sell console games.

They've paired with Nintendo twice now, though.

Only for specific bundles, not general store purposes.

Star Tropics I and II are on Wii U VC!

I always wanted to play those!

I did play Star Tropics I on the Wii's VC.

I thought it was just okay.

Yeah, I remember the secret code thing. It was both cool and frustrating since my Grandma had no idea where she kept the manual and stuff, so I spent days wondering if I'd have to brute force it or give up. Though the message that came with the code was a nice touch.

Never finished the second

Metroid Prime: Hunters and DKC3 coming to Wii U tomorrow.

Well, Wind Waker HD is on sale for $30 on the e-shop. Given it's still basically $50-60 at retailers, and even eBay isn't selling it for much less, I just bit the bullet and bought it.

It's one of my favorite games of all time, and while the original holds up perfectly well, I'm curious about the differences (simplifying the hunt for the Triforce pieces seems excellent), and I love playing the game in the summer.

It also has a special sail that allows you to sail in any direction at full speed, regardless of the wind.

I need to get back into Wind Waker (original or HD) and finally start Hyrule Warriors and get TP HD before Breath of the Wild is released.

Anyone know what the best way to clean a disc is?

My Wind Waker HD disc isn't playing properly, apparently because the disc might be dirty. Other games work fine.

Nintendo's advice.

Three Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Games, Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, and Explorers of Sky, are coming to the NA VC on June 23rd.

Europe's VC is getting LoZ: Majora's Mask.

I expected Red and Blue rescue team after everyone else got them. Did not expect Sky though, that's one of the best if not the best PMD games.

I might buy Sky. Damn series gave me a serious case of the feels...

Whoa, Sky.

If I didn't already have Sky I'd get it. But since I do, I'll just command all of you to get it if you don't have it.

I wonder if you'll be able to access its wireless features. Like, if I were playing it and fainted in a dungeon, could someone come save me?
