Why not sign up for a (free) account?
 
Tri Force Heroes should be landing in my mailbox tomorrow. And I guess I'll download the Yokai Watch demo just to see what the hubbub is all about.

Isn't Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts already out on Wii U?
EDIT: Oh, the description makes it sound like maybe it's the GBA version? Hardcore Gaming 101 has some info on that...

Hardcore Gaming 101 said:
The Original mode just like the SNES game. The new Arrange mode, however, is more interesting, and gives you three different paths through the game, depending on what kind of armor (if any) you have equipped when you beat a stage. The "Easy" route is just like the original game. The "Medium" path consists of redone versions of stages from previous games. The second stage, for instance, is taken from the second level of Ghouls 'n Ghosts. The third stage is a revamped version of the fourth stage from Ghosts 'n Goblins. The fourth stage is a remix of the classic first level from Ghosts 'n Goblins. Many of these levels, mostly the ones from the first game, have updated graphics and extra additions. For instance, the first Ghosts 'n Goblins stage features a huge ball of skeletons that replaces the moon in the sky. Later in the level, it disappears and smashes into the floor, taking reckless knights with it. All of these levels have brand new bosses as well. "Hard" consists of more difficult versions of the Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts levels.

Unfortunately, the smaller screen size makes the game even more difficult, especially when dealing with offscreen enemies, and the music suffers a bit compared to the SNES version. There's some annoying slowdown too. On the plus side, there's now a save function, even at checkpoints midlevel, so it makes this massive undertaking a bit more palatable. Overall, it's great to see that Capcom added a lot to this version instead of just making a straight port.

Anyone checking out Fatal Frame this week?

I remember loving the early titles in the series.

@New Forms

I'm planning on it. It's free to start, so if I don't like what I've played by the end of the first two chapters, I just won't pay for it.

Omg Super Ghouls N Ghosts!

Wait, I swear swear swear I already own that on my Wii U.

Argh I really want Fatal Frame but my Wii U has no space and I don't have a working HD!

I'm getting it.

EDIT: Haha, nice. The eShop background music is currently the Mario Boo-level music.

Same here!

I also grabbed the Dragon Ball Z game, which is pretty fun so far.

Why the hell don't their home consoles have themes?

Makes no goddamn sense. I'd be all over that.

That's the theme to Luigi's Mansion you're hearing, actually! Good music, either way!

I really want Fatal Frame but I'm kind of broke and my backlog is getting huge, maybe I'll wait for it go on sale.

@deathly_hallows

Fatal Frame is actually free to start. First three chapters (I think?) you can play through without having to pay a dime.

@nate38
Yeah, the Game Boy Advance version was great. Lots of levels, more convenience... Like a remixed collection.

@Anand Interesting. Maybe I'll put SGNGGBA on the wishlist for now and wait for a sale. Capcom's pretty good about sales on the eShop.

I tried the Yokai Watch demo and didn't really understand it. I guess the Yokai attack automatically and you just spin the wheel to change which ones are active? Plus super moves? The battle system didn't really get any explanation, nor did it pique my interest in and of itself. Probably wasn't going to check the series out anyway, but it's a hard pass now.
