What time will the eshop update for people who go by central time?
It’s every thursday at Noon EST…so I think 11am Central.
Hey Jaded! Shadowvegeta created a Discord server for some people of the MNN community, and we thought it would be pretty cool if you joined too. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Discord, but it’s basically a group chat app, kinda like a hang-out you can tune into whenever you feel like it. You can download it on your phone/PC, or just use it in your browser, whatever fits you best. To join our little crew server, you just gotta click this link: https://discord.gg/Eyuem9
It expires after a day though, so if you decide to join us, but the link doesn’t work, just let me know here! I’ll give you a new one.
Also, don’t mind this message being on a super old article, haha. We just wanted to prevent random people from joining, the link gives access to the server to anyone who clicks on it, basically.
When will the eshop update for people who go by central time
I’m not sure as I’m not from the US. Hopefully someone will be able to help you out!
From PT:
ET=+3 hrs
CT=+2 hrs
MT=+1 hrs
So, eShop updates at 11.00 A.M. in the central time zone of US.
Dk64 > bloodgame
Now just to wait until lunch.
Well this sucks.
Still waiting for Ocarina of Time and Phantom Hourglass.
There still no word in if there’s a chance to use Gamecube controllers with old games?
I feel a song coming on.
*listens DK rap* Yup. DK64 is back. :3
HES FINALLY HERE PREFORMING FOR YOU IF YOU KNOW THE WORDS YOU SHOULD JOIN IN TOO PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER IF YOU WANNA CLAP
I’m still surprised DK64 is on the eShop since Rare’s original game Jetpac is a minigame within the game- even more since it’s required to finish that game’s objective in order to complete the game. And since Rare and its IPs belong to Microsoft now…
Hey, I’m not complaining- I downloaded it the moment I got home from work today. Already making good progress through Angry Aztec.
Wondering whether I’m gonna download one of the titles? WELL I guess I’ll download DK64.
