Thanks Vooks! I’ve been refreshing your page this morning at work waiting for this info!
I’ll be getting Black Flag (already played it and traded it in on PS4…), Child of Light (was close to buying this last weekend) and might finally try out a Mega Man VC game for the 3DS!
Careful, Jangomar. Black Flag on Wii U is hardly the same experience it is on PS4. If you’re used to the rock-solid frame rate on PS4, Wii U’s all over the place in comparison.
Not all the NES games in the NES Remix game promo are $4.55.
Correct, we had to ‘guess’ the discounts on the AU store before it went live.
Pretty sure Mega Man III had already been available on the Wii U Virtual Console as I already have it…
Thanks for the heads up! Downloading Child of Light as I type, will think on AC Black Flag
Speaking of correcting things, you’ve mis-labeled Mega Man III GB as Mega Man 3 NES, and it’s on 3DS, not Wii U. Mega Man 3 NES has been on both eShops for a while now. You did this last week too with Mega Man II GB.
Also, the price for Super Mario Bros. 3 is still wrong.
Eventually they will run out of old games to discount.
Maybe one day Scram Kitty will release here. Probably after Half Life 3.
Don’t be silly. Probably after The Last Guardian … 😛
