Are the new Wii games on the eShop in HD, or just direct ports of the Wii games? Are they online yet? I can't seem to find them on the website to buy them now.

I'd imagine they are just straight ports.

So, the price of the New 3DS XL in Canada is $229.99, a $30 premium over the US price. Also, while I understand that most people that are going to buy it are probably upgrading, so they wouldn't need another power adapter. But not packing in a power adapter is still insane. Especially because the ones they have out are pretty damn brittle. The end of mine bent to the point of being unusable just from me unplugging it from the stand - fortunately I had a spare but still. Are the new Wii games on the eShop in HD, or just direct ports of the Wii games? Are they online yet? I can't seem to find them on the website to buy them now. By most accounts I've seen they're a little more crisp but not hugely different. The only one up right now is Galaxy 2, which I saw listed on the eShop a couple of hours ago.

I found it on the eShop, actually. I hope they release and HD Mario Sunshine, though, a la Wind Waker HD.

Well I just bought my New 3DS XL.
The one I bought, oh, nothing special, just the sexy as all hell metallic silver and blue Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate one(this one, unlike the Majora's Mask one, actually comes with the game).
It costs $230 and is exclusive to GameStop's online store(basically, you can only buy it there, it won't be sold in the actual shop itself, unless, I suppose, someone trades one in to GS).

Entirely possible I usually don't look at the S.E. versions of their consoles usually...
the only one I have is the Link Between Worlds 3dsxl which came with it...
but I'd figure if they put something as blatantly specific to the game (like Majora's Mask) on it... the game would be included

Scalpers are the freaking worst sometimes. Way I see it on that kind of thing, if somebody's dumb enough to pay that much for it, good for the scalper. Like when I saw people spending $40 on the Hyrule Warriors preorder skins that they later put up for a buck, those idiots just had it coming.

It's largely my personal taste in games, but I am incredibly underwhelmed with this Direct. That (what turned out to be Fire Emblem) trailer looked AWESOME, and then it has a harsh cut to a colorful, heavily-aliased anime aesthetic. I know that's the series, that's 100% fine, but it just reminds me of those cellphone game ads where they create these big budget scenes of drama and action, and it winds up being for Butt Tickler Puzzle Farm at the end. I just felt mislead by it, but it did catch my attention initially, so there's something.
Not sold on the New 3DS, either. But in the interest of being positive, Splatoon looks great, and it's high on my admittedly short list of games I really want to play this year.
For Mario Party, they should've just went back to basics, but this time around include the Amiibos as in-game characters. So, you could be Little Mac, Mega Man, Kirby, etc. and have a mini-game unlocked based on that particular character. That would've made the "DLC" aspect of Amiibos feel less tacked on than it does right now. I absolutely love Amiibos, though. I just wish they were used better, for example, like how they seem to be in that upcoming Project S.T.E.A.M. game with the Fire Emblem people.

Anyone else expecting Nintendo to run out of AC Adapters because they didn't expect the demand to be so high but refuse to make more because reasons like a certain other peripheral?

Also, Japan is getting a new Rhythm Heaven game for 3DS and we're not (any time soon anyway):

Never has a company made it as difficult to give them my money as Nintendo has lately. There's been my obvious issues with the Amiibo's now, I find out that Majora's Mask 3D Special Edition sold out in both my local EB's in <60 minutes and the Majora's Mask New 3DS sold out in <90 minutes. I had $300 cash on me this morning, was gonna pay the whole thing up front and was already too late. I'm not even mad this time, just disappointed.
