@ScrawntonTen bucks says it's got Isabelle on it! Maybe Isabelle wearing Isabelle-shaped earmuffs and building an Isabelle snowman.

@TriforceBun as long as they have a 1pm-7pm music as the background music I'll be fine.

@ScrawntonWhoa! Do the AC backgrounds tend to do that? Cycle through hourly tunes depending on the time? That'd be a great touch.

@TriforceBun No, I wish they did. I just meant give me one of those hours' theme for the background and I'll accept it.

I never got too far in Zak and Wiki but it looked really good. I actually got stuck in one of the earlyish puzzles. I had NO idea what the hell to do, and looking up the answer woulda been lame. I still have the game.

@carlosroxI was at the end of the game and got stuck. I still have yet to finish it! I feel awful for not finishing it but something else during that time made me lose focus.

I loved Z&W! It seemed to tank though, half surprised they brought it back for VC.

And why the flying frick does Nintendo never put any sort of themes on their consoles? Themes are awesome. Hopefully NX will right this wrong, especially if their goal is to streamline their OS and such. @AbdoooooOuch. Is it a long game? I'm just happy I got to hear the Ghouls n Ghosts theme with that skeleton karaoke box or whatever that thing was.

@carlosrox be careful what you wish for with the streamlined OS. We could end up with no custom themes on ANY system... :(

@carlosroxIt all depends on how clever you are. On average they say its like a 20 hour game but to unlock everything it'll take another 20.

Zack & Wiki? Wow, nice surprise. Great game with excellent Wiimote use. Paper Jam will have to wait... I just picked up Triforce heroes. But I also just realized I won't be playing TH on my commute, which is where I play most of my 3DS games, because it requires internet to avoid the single player. Eh...still gonna wait. I'm knee deep in Rune Factory 4.

Dammit. Forgot all the GBA games are on the WiiU VC. I already have Super Mario 3 on Wii/WiiU. I want it on my 3DS. Sigh. Zack and Wiki is an interesting release. But again I can already play this from the original disc. I wonder if they'll look at a sequel if enough people jump for the VC version though.

Apparently, the Wii U VC release of Super Mario Advance 4 includes the e-reader levels? Might buy it just for that.

@GameDadGrantI suppose it is. But I wanted the shiny Advance version. Which I guess I technically don't have on WiiU either. But I still want it on my 3DS instead. Surely you of all people understand that  .

@ScrawntonWell one would hope that they'd improve the OS and not make it worse. Can't they at least have basic stuff like changing the COLOR of your background? PS4 Home can change colors and they all look nice, and that's not even taking into account all the custom themes. Also have no idea why PS4 doesn't let you set wallpapers. The system has a BUILT IN share function. The PS3 let you set wallpapers!! Faceplates and stuff too! Why get rid of something better (nothing wrong with options and customization), especially when that something makes you money? The 3DS has faceplates AND themes, why can't the Wii U and NX do the same? The Wii U got rid of several nice little functions of the Wii and I have no idea why they did that. The message board (notes) and photo viewer on the Wii were pretty nice, I've no idea why they were completely scrapped. I used both. @AbdoooooWow. I don't think I knew it was quite so meaty.

@anon_mastermind Yeah I thought I read that, too. Can anyone confirm the e-reader levels are included?
