eShop purchases on Nintendo’s website allow for gifting
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 13 Comments
Nintendo launched a new feature on its North American website today that allows for the purchase of digital first-party Wii U and 3DS titles. You can choose to have codes delivered via email, or have software automatically downloaded by signing in with a Nintendo Network ID.
Those who opt for the former option can choose to gift their purchase to another Wii U/3DS owner. Check out this excerpt from Nintendo’s official FAQ:
Can I give a game to someone else?
Yes. Once you complete your purchase, we’ll send you an e-mail confirmation with a download code for the game. (For pre-orders, we’ll send you the download code on the day the game is released.) The download code can only be used once, but anyone can redeem it. If the game is a gift for someone else, provide them with the download code so that they can redeem the game on their system.
Be sure to read the full FAQ here if you have additional questions about eShop purchases on Nintendo.com.

South Park tables will be released for Zen Pinball 2 on Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Yesterday, Zen Studios announced that South Park tables will soon be coming to its pinball platforms. These tables were confirmed for practically every device imaginable, ranging from consoles to mobile. The one platform that was left out, however, was Wii U.
There is at least one encouraging piece of news to report. While the South Park tables won’t be available for Wii U this week, they’re still on the way to Nintendo’s console – there’s just no release date yet.
Zen Studios noted on Twitter today:
@DepresinG No release date yet, will post when we have it.

Mighty No. 9 to receive English voice acting
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
The latest Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter update has revealed that the game will be receiving English voice acting in the final build. Backers were asked to participate in a vote for either English or Japanese voices, and English edged forward by a only a matter of hundreds.
Here’s the full quote:
YOUR “VOICE” HAS BEEN HEARD!
We’ve been seeing great discussions all over our forums, twitter feed and Facebook for the past week, all focused on a single burning question: English or Japanese? Which language will all the voice acting be in for Mighty No. 9?!The response has been amazing: over 20,000 of you weighed in with your choice over the last few days, and now we’re finally back with your decision:
Mighty No. 9 will include English voice acting!
You might be thinking “Well DUH! Of course it’s English — the largest majority of Mighty No. 9 backers speak English!” And sure, you’d be right, but you’d be surprised how close the vote was — less than 1,000 votes separated the two choices, from the start right down to the end!So a HUGE thanks to ALL of you for helping us make Mighty No. 9 a better game, with special thanks to our slacker backers and beckers who upped their reward tiers, since it’s their purchases that will make this bonus content possible and guarantees it for all our backers! You guys & gals are the best! (?^?)?
