I love how Joystiq doesn't mention this was said on the NeoGAF forums, not form an official Ninty source. So, rumor and conjecture until Nintendo says otherwise people. Joystiq, please try not to fail at reporting news so much next time? Not saying this won't turn out true, but you just take it as fact even though no official source has said this. Anyone can say "Oh I got an official email saying such and such." At least put down the source as NeoGAF.
Ok, yall are annoying. "Wah wah wah, I have to pay 2 whole more dollars for some DLC that actually gives me a new character to use whenever I want, and 1.5-2 hours of story content. Wah, I'd rather pay $5 for a bunch of multiplayer maps that change gameplay or story in absolutely no way!" I was expecting $10 - $15 for this DLC, but its only $2 more than $5, for a new character and what's sounding like some very interesting and different missions. Be happy this isn't some generic or after thought DLC (for example, ME1's Pinnacle Station). It sounds like they're trying something different than the usual "fly to planet X, shoot up everything, go through interactive cutscenes, end mission" sort of gameplay. $7 looks to be a great price for a fair amount of content. New character, missions, weapon, loyalty power, and achievement. A fair amount of content for $2 more than what yer standard lil map pack usually costs (Actually cheaper than some Halo 3 map packs!). So quit yall's whining, be glad yer gettin this much content for this cheap.
This was my first Winter Veil. I didnt know about the small eggs prices still I checked the A.H. Needless to say this rather newbie player's jaw dropped. Though me and my boyfriend quickly took advantage of this seller's market and spent hours looting small eggs from birds in Westfall. xD I went from having less than one gold to nearly 100. My first WV turned out awesome. :P
I'm pretty sure Earthbound isnt coming to the VC. I remember Ninty saying that they decided against releasing it on the VC because of the humor or some stupid excuse. They felt that since the humor and references were very 90s oriented, it would detract people form playin it on the VC or something to that extent.
Nevermind, found the reason on Destructoid. It got caught up in many legal issues due to all the 90s references. I remember now Ninty pretty much saying due to this they weren't going to release it. So no Earthbound VC it seems. Kinda surprised its even on here.
Ok, whenever it gets to the point with the lil green circle page, it suddenly goes to a "page cannot be found" page. Luckily I found a direct link to DL it, but I'm afraid I'm not getting my key. Anyone else havin this issue?
