I may be in for Xenoblade eventually. I knew this was coming so I took advantage of this by trading my disc copy in to Gamestop for $50. I'm actually wondering what the next SNES games on 3ds will be since we are done with the first few waves that were pre-announced.

I'm getting Xenoblade because I'll be able to play with the Gamepad. That's huge. Plus Lost Reavers...I hope we can keep the stuff that we earned from the beta. If not, no big.

I'll get SEGA 3D Classicas and Xenoblade Chronicles eventually. I'm hoping for more SNES games soon.

@ludist210 Yeah that's really cool that they made sure to add Gamepad support for Xenoblade Chronicles. I don't think that's a standard feature for Wii games on Wii U, right? The ability to use the Pro Controller would be cool too, but oh well.

@nate38It is for downloads, but not on disc games. Not sure about the Pro Controller, but I'm pretty sure that's a no.

Hmm. Tempting to download Xenoblade Chronicles, despite owning that game three different times. (twice on Wii, once on N3DS) I'll definitely grab the Amiibo Tap game. It's a freebie, so why not. I think the next SNES game to hit N3DS will be Super Punch-Out!!, since (IIRC) PAL regions recently got that last week.

Time to get my amiibos out of the cupboard. @nate38You should be able to use the pro controller, since the CC Pro was supported on Wii in Xenoblade. Edit: nvm, Gamepad support is what I was remembering. Better than nothing, I guess.

@anon_mastermind still confused as to how they could get gamepad controls working for Wii VC games but not Pro controller support...

@Scrawnton Yeah I'm not quite sure. It could be a technical thing. But don't the Pro Controllers also hook up to the Wii U with the same Bluetooth technology? Kind of odd. You'd think they'd just say "If a Pro Controller is connected, treat it like a Classic Controller." Will Lost Reavers or Amiibo March have any My Nintendo support? Any My Nintendo missions to gain Platinum Coins?

@DrFinkelsteinYeah... the SteamWorld games have been nice hits on the eShop! Don't they usually highlight DLC? Regardless, I picked it up as soon as it went live. At 4.99$ US (5.49$ in Canada), it's not too bad. I'm not sure how much content if features exactly since it's woven into the main game's storyline instead of being a separate add-on as I thought it would be so I'll play through my new game + on Elite difficulty (rough!) to see it through. Should be fun!

@Guillaume @NoName I know the feeling, I'm the same way. I sometimes change my posts too or hesitate in making them. I saw his original post and it seemed fine to me.
