Wii U Virtual Console Trial Campaign has games for 30 cents

Every month from now until July there will be a Virtual Console game that you will be able to buy for 30 cents. This promotion is part of the 30th anniversary of the famicom. After the promotion ends you will be able to buy the game at its normal price.

But hell for 30 cents I will probably buy anything.


Nintendo planning Wii U updates to increase system speed and launch Virtual Console


Nintendo has heard the cries of Wii U owners and are planning on fixing some issues with two updates, one in the spring and one in the summer. The updates will address the time it takes to launch a game from the Wii U main menu as well as the time it takes to get back.

Nintendo also plans to launch their Virtual Console service for the Wii U after the spring update. These NES and SNES games will be updated to have extra features like the ability to save at any time, play off the gamepad screen, and access the Miiverse community for that specific game.

Nintendo is also looking to add GBA games as well but it's unclear if that will be at the launch of the service or at a later time.

The prices for these games are in my opinion still a little too high. The NES games will range from 5 to 6 dollars and the SNES games from 8 to 9 dollars. If you have bought some games from the Virtual Console in the past you will have the opportunity to re-buy the updated versions at a lower price. It will be 1 dollar for NES games and 1.50 for SNES.

Last chance to register for free games on your 3DS



Remember when Nintendo said they were giving away 20 free games to those who bought their 3DS before the price drop, yea well the deadline is today. If you have a 3DS all you have to do is access the Nintendo eShop before midnight EST.
