Anyone downloaded the new Rayman Legends Challenges App yet?
Just been trying out the daily challenge and come to the realisation that my platforming skills aren't quite as good as i thought they were, quite disappointing compared to some of the other players around the world.
 
the update is between 700/800 MB it took me about 15 minutes and took about 4mins to install.
i have grabbed kirby for 30p and been enjoying it immensely. i will grab super mario also tomorrow when the virtual console games are added. i cannot believe i missed f-zero though.
 
30p games!?!

Can you play VC games using the gamepad screen?

some of the games that will appear on the VC soon have been on offer the past few months.
like i said the kirby n.e.s version at the moment is 30p. f-zero was 30p but i missed it so when it appears on VC it will be about £3.50 and im sure all new purchases work on the gamepad :)

That reminds me of the first online Mario Kart (DoubleDash/MKDS). Everyone whined like a ***** about snaking, infinite boosting, dodging blue shell and shortcuts despite them being in almost every single Mario Kart.

People always think they're great until they pop their online cherry.

Is there anyway to use the nintendo points/cash from the 3DS?

I've got a quid on there.
 
Anyone get super mario world? can't resist it even though played it so many times grrrrrrrr

I would have, had I enough credit on my account!

got on the old wii vc, so may transfer and upgrade it for gamepad functionaility. Do the wii u vc titles work on the gamepad like they should?

As far as I am aware, the Wii VC titles are strictly playable in the Wii mode only. If I remember, Nintendo were to offer a discount 'upgrade' to re-purchase your existing VC titles for Gamepad functionality once released on the Wii U VC.

I own 3 VC titles on the Wii U and all work without the TV needing to be on (ie: can be played solely on the gamepad).

That's good to know, thanks. Looking forward to having a go. It'll be great when N64 games make it on there, will be pretty cool playing goldeneye on the gamepad :D (if it's released...)
 
I doubt goldeneye will be released as it's a licence nightmare with Rare being owned by MS and the James Bond licence being owned by EA/Activision.
 
You don't have to put a load a minimum amount on, I bought Kirby's Adventure for 30p and paid for it straight off my card.

Same here, bought the last 2 30p games and could just pay with card and didnt need to add, same with Super Mario World at £5.49, just paid direct from card.

One of the things that impressed me when i got my Wii U
