A NOA rep says there are currently to release new games on the North American eshop for the Wii U Virtual Console.

This assertion came in response to a question posed to him via Twitter. Despite the bad news, he did give a bit of hope by encouraging the inquiry’s author to put requests for new virtual console games on your Club Nintendo surveys. However he has yet to respond to questions on whether or not anyone actually reads those.

As for Nintendo's other Virtual Console efforts we have various NES games being brought to the 3DS because that makes sense. We also have a nice variety of games being released in Japan and a fair number of those being brought to Europe. However please note that new releases on the VC are in no way based on sales, demand, or any other form of logic.

Nintendo Gaming / hard drive external enclosure finding help
« on: July 04, 2014, 09:05:58 PM »
I have a nice 250gb hard drive that I clawed out from an old Dell Dimension e521 that's looking for a new home.
I also have a Wii U that is currently starved for storage.

Now would somebody be so kind as to help me find an external enclosure for this hard drive? That's the one place in this process that I have no clue what I'm dealing with here.

NWR Mafia Games / Mafia 63 introduction and rules thread.
« on: June 19, 2014, 12:10:51 AM »
A man named George Ratcliffe was found dead yesterday and the ICMG, upon investigation has found that his insides were 'scrambled'. With the help of the Doctor, a time traveler who showed up on the same day, they were able to learn that George Ratcliffe was working with a race of creatures known as the Daleks. It appears that there are not one, but two opposing Dalek factions who both seek control of a device known as the Hand of Omega which the Doctor claims to have stashed somewhere in town a while back. However The Doctor believes that the ICMG has been infiltrated by both Dalek factions.


Group Captain Gilmore (cop): leader of the ICMG (Intrusion Countermeasures Group) he can use his sources in the British intelligence agency to investigate other players and find out their roles.

Important, Captain Gilmore has two day 0 investigations, use them wisely captain


The Doctor (Role blocker): Is aware of everything that happens at night and can prevent any night actions from happening. This ability can only be used Twice.


Dr. Rachel Jensen: (Doctor) Captain Gilmore's scientific advisor and medical personnel. Has the ability to protect someone but not herself


Dorothy "Ace" Mcshane: (Vigilante): instead of cowering in fear and screaming like his previous companions the Doctors current companion goes after daleks with baseball bats and her own specialized homemade explosive.


Mike Smith (Miller): a young man formerly employed to George Ratcliffe. Although he is functionally a normal townie should he be investigated Captain Gilmore will be told he is a Dalek.

important, the player given the Mike Smith role will not be aware of his role. Thus anyone given the role 'townie' could potentially be Mike Smith

The Mafias:
Imperial Daleks:

Davros (godfather): leader of the Imperial Daleks, registers as townie when investigated.


Special Weapons Dalek(role cop): A special forces Dalek who's advanced targeting systems can be used to investigate a player and learn of their roles. This ability can only be used twice. Dalek supreme, and Captain Gilmore are unaffected.

Imperial Dalek drone:

It's a regular dalek, what else is there to say. It shoots lasers and serves Davros. (Will be put into play when we reach 13 players along with its renegade counterpart)

Renegade Daleks

Dalek Supreme(godfather 2): Leader of the renegade Daleks. Registers as townie when investigated.


Little girl/battle computer(role cop): The Dalek Battle computer leeches off the mind of a little girl and her capacity for imagination. Because of this the little girl can be controlled by the computer by remote and used to investigate for player roles with the exception of Davros and Captain Gilmore. This ability can be used for night actions on days 2 and 4 and two additional times.


Renegade Dalek drone: I think of the two, this is the one you shake to get pepper. Oh nope, it's shooting lasers at me.

Tie rule: God so help you if there's a tie. I may just do nothing, I may kill everyone who voted for a tie, I may pick some people and apply the 'voteless' or 'suicidal' role to them, it's like landing on a bowser space in mario party, except no sympathy for fourth place.

but the fun doesn't stop there, I may stop noting if for example a mafia member is killed to increase the suspense or start lying to the investigative roles, I may  kill anyone that Rachel tries to save. I may also kill anyone who sends me a kill request, who knows.

Basically don't force a tie, or I start trolling the entire game

Because there is no killer starting on day 5 both dalek factions will be able to make a hit. Day 1 and 3 will only allow the renegade Daleks to make a hit while Day 2 and 4 will only allow the imperial Daleks to make a hit.

Silenced Godfather Clause: if the godfather cannot preform his duties for whatever reason one of his underlings may request a night kill in his place. However if both the godfather and his underling request a kill then the Godfather's kill request will be granted,

Night actions for all roles are due 20 minutes after the Days end. The Doctor will then be sent a list of night actions and asked if he wishes to block any of them (again this can be done twice), if you have a night action just PM me telling me who you want to investigate/kill/save.
Quote from: Night actions
To perform a kill night action (daleks, Ace)


Day ends at 12pm est, next one begins when I make a thread for it to begin.

Note: as mentioned in the signup thread I will be role playing as the Master. Those unfamiliar with the show should note that the Master has a tendency to be very manipulative. he seems to delight in messing with people, you probably shouldn't listen to him... oh and by the looks of things, speak of the devil:

Wait, we're skinning mario? Awesome.

This is like a role reversal on that peta thing.

Nintendo Gaming / Tomodachi Life thread: my island not yours.
« on: June 08, 2014, 06:48:55 PM »

Reggie preparing for life after Nintendo's downfall.

So anyone else crazy enough to get this... thing...

I got two demo codes for this game if anyone wants, pm me if you are interested...
code 1 claimed
code 2 claimed
Man now I see why I've never made a topic on a game before, I'm horrible at this.

Here's my mii, I guess

Also anyone looking to populate their apartment here you go.

So basically I used mii maker to try and recreate the rest of the RFN crew and while for Crimm and Jonathan Metts I could find their mii to use I didn't feel like trying to find one for lindemann so I took a few artistic and creative liberties that I will share tommorow... maybe... I actually ended up after creating lindy as a creepy 90 year old man wearing a kids yellow smock made Crimm look like an angry version of Albert Einstein and johnny look like a generic prep school graduate.

NWR Feedback / can we kill the matchmaking/smacktalk forum or something

Can we just kill the matchmaking/smacktalk forum. It just doesn't seem to be adequately performing it's purpose anymore... I feel like a forum devoted to retroactive would be a better use of that space really.,,

A little over a month or so before i became an active poster another forum member named maxi announced he was leaving the site.
My reasons for leaving are many and mainly have to do with the forums. There is also a few other members who have left from here and I share the same issues and concerns.So lets get to the first.

Bullying is a major one and at times I have seen people on the forums go and rail on a person just because they were posting a certain way here. Tendoboy's posts are a good example of people who did this. I personally think he was just trying to bring up conversation on the forum with his posts. Also there were people who were bullied at times in the past who became the bullies to fit in with the in crowd so they themselves would not get bullied. It can become an endless cycle.
now this sounds quite familiar to me... in fact come to think of it Maxi here has successfully described what i have gone through as a poster. people calling me a horrible poster (granted my oblivious routine among other things haven't helped on that regard), me eventually beginning to find a niche as everyone starts ragging on Tj (during his temp ban i was the only one willing to stand up for him,) and then eventually I wind up from a certain perspective, playing a major role in the events that led to his permaban.

but it isn't just how we treat eachother. the way we talk about nintendo is becoming nothing but constant negativity.
Quote from: Maxi
This goes with the condescending as well. This isn't a good place to be a fan of Nintendo anymore. You have to temper your posts with qualifiers. In other words you can not be a overly positive Nintendo fan you have to put in some small negative that Nintendo has done and this also goes for Sony and Microsoft. You are singled out and put in SUPERs Fanboy euthanization station topic.
and in 2009 nine the issue was raised again.
The topics with the most posts and discussion come from those that aren't even really game-specific, be it arguments about sales, "casual games", third party support, or any other drama-charged groanfest.  And all these topics do is destroy bonds between posters that should instead be tightening through enjoyable discussion.  From someone who wants nothing more than to see everyone enjoying positive discussion about upcoming games, it's really depressing to see how the site has crumbled, and it's clear to see why Mario (and others before him) gave up the ghost.  Why bother putting effort into a post when it's bound to be derailed by a third party support monologue?  Why bother putting effort into a post when no one even cares anymore? 

Am I being too harsh?  Yeaaaano.  I'm not.  It shouldn't be too much to expect a Nintendo-oriented site to be slightly Nintendo-biased.  But no, I'm only seeing the opposite these days.  So I'm sick of it.  It's not fun anymore.  Talking about games here is no longer fun.
we have to find some sort of balance here. S-U-P-E-R may argue that getting rid of bad posters will help the situation but it won't. The NWR forums are simply not an inviting place for newcomers. I blame it on this constant negative atmosphere going on here.
I kinda joked in one of the topics here that I hoped that this place doesn't become a hive mind but in a way it has. It has become a place for negativity more then anything little by little until there is hardly any positivity left on the forums.People will be tired of it and then leave like I am and then it will be more pessimistic then anything else....
And this is what the forums have become... This isn't the happy go lucky place that it once was, i don't want us to go like some sites that will crucify you upside down for saying the word sony but we have gone too far in the opposite direction.

even if SMB2 was not technically a mario game i'm kinda shocked that the NSMB games haven't brought back the veggies for something like this:

also on that subject...

Despite popular belief, there is evidence suggesting that Super Mario Bros. 2 was the true sequel to Super Mario Bros. Some time after the original game's completion, Nintendo's Kyoto-based R&D division began working on a vertical-scrolling Mario engine. It became clear early on that a vertical-scrolling game couldn't offer the same quality of platforming as the original Super Mario Bros. Shigeru Miyamoto then stepped in and added horizontally scrolling aspects to the game.

The prototype engine was originally designed around carrying, throwing, and piling up items and featured 2-player cooperative play, which even included the ability to throw other players to hard-to-reach places to progress further in the game. A deal with Fuji TV was struck during development, and the prototype eventually became Doki Doki Panic. Although cooperative play was dropped, the concepts of vertical scrolling and tossing around items to defeat enemies was incorporated into Doki Doki Panic, and in turn Super Mario Bros. 2.
intresting tidbit in my opinion

General Gaming / Ultimate Video Game Crossover Challenge
« on: August 03, 2013, 12:20:34 AM »

this video provides us with the claim that each and every single video game franchise is contained within the same universe. in order to escape the general negativity surrounding the forums I think we should begin to explore and expand upon this area.

I believe that we should accept this challenge as a way not only to create a different realm of discussion but also to possibly give some exposure on the forums to games that some of us might not have heard of.

now some general rules
-we are going to do everything we can to avoid using crossover games for this unless we absolutely have to.

-I also would prefer to avoid repeats of what was shown on the video.

now let us begin
