Everyone should buy A Kappa's Trail

Everyone outside of PAL regions.

[Benedict]

Sorry for some newbie 3DS questions.

What are the top 5 games on the e-store I should get for my new 3DS?

Are there any sales on the EU e-stores?

Can you get cheap pre-loaded card for 3DS anywhere for the UK-store?

Any plans for more consoles in Virtua Console?

Everyone should buy A Kappa's Trail

I really hated A Kappa's Trail. I deeply wanted to love it, but the mechanics were frustrating throughout and just got broken towards the end. The maddening part was that it was easily fixable.

EDIT: Also, would not recommend Shantae. It's really unfinished. And that goddamn tower.

[Murrah]

Okay, looking over at Nintendolife, I made another list: Kokopolo 800 Spin Six 500 Ivy the Kiwi Mini 500 Aura Aura Climber 200 Sounds like a winning combination! :D

I know I'm a couple days late but I can't recommend Ivy the Kiwi at all. I found the retail version at Gamestop for four bucks earlier this year and snapped it up, played for like half an hour and just put it away until I traded it into to Best Buy for a three dollar profit a couple months later. Maybe it gets better the further you get but I thought it was one of the most mediocre, middle of the road games I've ever played, even for the low price. Shame since the coverart is so dope

Aura Aura Climber on the other hand is amazing

I bought Ivy the Kiwi on the Wii at retail and I loved every second of it. It's especially great if you're into score/time attacking. The DS version isn't as good though, because of the lower resolution and because the stylus blocks your view.

[tsab]

hmm, yeh what are Skip up to these days? their website is ... uninformative

Making a port of Captain Rainbow for the WiiU for the eshop with worldwide release hopefully. Or a new Chibi Robo with U Pad control. I would also accept an RC Copter game with the dual analogue control and the screen for a map or top-down camera

Thank's I was looking for something like that but couldn't find it.

Still don't understand why we can't get a VC release of some sort every week with such an extensive library to choose from.

I think for the most part, the reason because we don't get many VC games, atleast in NA, is because Nintendo doesn't want to run out within 5 or even ten years.

They may have quite a few first party GB,GBC,NES,SNES,N64, and GBA games they could putup, and I'm sure they will in time, but I think for the most part, 3rd parties (atleast in NA) are not on board the VC for some reason. The reason we are getting no 3DS or Wii VC games is because no one wants to put up VC games. The only people that still seem to be supporting both VCs is Sega, D4, and Capcom.

Nintendo hardly put out any Wii VC last year, now? We get a D4 fighter almost every week. Its because they decided to start releasing them for some reason. (of course, D4 may have wanted them last year, but thanks to the wii u and more vc options Nintendo may have just now started releasing them.)

Of course, this doesn't explain why we don't have some more capcom games like Megaman 6 this soon. Could it be capcom doesn't want to put it up or because Nintendo wants to spread the Wii VC out as long as they can? I do wonder, if Capcom wants it up now, what they must think of Nintendo of all regions since its not up anywhere. I just don't know what to believe when it comes to VC but obviously Nintendo wants to spread it out, and they may be few 3rd parties activively supporting it.

We may get a random 3rd party game thats not from the three like Rayman GBC, but it is few and far between. Remember, two GG games were supposed to come out in 8-bit summer. They completely dissapeared. Nintendo advertised these games as 8bit summer games and committed to releasing them in that time frame. Since they specifilly said that they would release, whos fault do you think it is that they aren't out? Seems like at least these two games it would be Sega's fault. Also remember that GG games were supposed to come out summer 2011 and again, they didn't come out to March 15th 2012.

I really wish we could know whos to blame and why, but sadly, that is impossible.

...wow. Who knew i could write such a long thoughtful post? I sure as hell didn't. I am shocked. Hope there aren't too many typos...

[Marz]

Well i'm pretty sure third-parties aren't making bank off of VC releases nowadays so they probably don't feel that it's worth the effort. Even though it requires almost no effort at all.

Couple new updates! We're getting Vector Racing 3D on August 23. http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail...CwSj9aSWsXo688

Oh great. Now I want Stellar7 so bad.

[Boney]

It's not really helpful though

[Seven Force]

Sucks that the Hudson acquisition likely indefinitely put the lid TG16 showing up as a 3DS VC platform. That would have been nice.

This game looks decent but it will probably have terrible ghosting. The one 3d screenshot it has on the eShop page has pretty bad ghosting for me.

[EvilMario]

It is, and his question is answered about a thousand times in the thread.

[Roto13]

Yeah, all of that black means it's probably going to be ghost city.

[evilromero]

I don't care if it's black. I want it. I just hope it plays well.

[dallow_bg]

I'll definitely turn 3D off for that one.

[Worthintendo]

Man so far August is feeling really crap compared to the awesomeness that was July :( This thread feels like a ghost town compared to last month. Hopefully we'll see some decent content this week worth talking about :(

NSMB2 will be the highlight of next week ;P

[Worthintendo]

I'm just hanging out for Unchained Blades to come out on the store. Should be heaps of fun and be nice to have a nice beefy RPG like that always on my system.

I really really hope they don't have New Super Mario Bros 2 as the only digital release fort he week it comes out, that would be disappointing.

[tsab]

Yeah, all of that black means it's probably going to be ghost city.

It's Virtual Boy retro then

[BooJoh]

I really hope digital retail releases are put up on their B&M street date and don't affect the number of digital-only titles released in the same week.

Also I hope first party DLC doesn't affect eShop releases. I'm sure they'll probably push the NSMB2 DLC on the eShop PR even though they ignore Theatrhythm DLC.

[CrunchinJelly]

European eShop prices have been announced:

In news that completely stuns us, Nintendo has announced that New Super Mario Bros. 2 will cost £39.99 on the eShop – that’s a fiver more than the RRP and a tenner more than Amazon is charging. Meanwhile, Freakyforms Deluxe is £24.99 (£19.99 on Amazon), with the £5.40 eShop original being removed from the store, and New Art Academy is £29.99 (£19.99 on Amazon).

[weeaboo]

New Super Mario Bros. 2 will cost £39.99

jesus chirst

[Chopper]

The only game I can see myself buying DD instead of boxed (or maybe aswell as) is Animal Crossing. Those prices are pretty brutal.

[CrunchinJelly]

I think this is it for Europe. Games Press keeps removing the table format so it's a pain in the arse to read:

Is there really no way of previewing Theatrhythm DLC tracks or am I being silly?

[Wichu]

YouTube!

I know, it's dumb.

[Netto-kun]

Is there really no way of previewing Theatrhythm DLC tracks or am I being silly?

Not in-game, AFAIK. So YouTube or the samples from the official website (EU) (US) are probably the best alternatives.

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Wow that is pretty ridiculous :(

Cheers guys!

Pretty sure those were last week's tracks. March of the Dreadnoughts was at least because I got that on Friday.

Surely they mean PAL only. Right?

I suppose they're talking about the price in pounds.

I thought it was referring to the currency?

[Midnight Believer]

I would usually create excuses for the crazy things Nintendo do but that pricing is beyond ridiculous.

[Roto13]

North American handheld releases until the end of the year press release went out. Specifically, some stuff for the eShop:

Arc System Works Vector Racing Aug. 23 Endgame Studio Fractured Soul Q3 Gamelion Speed X Q4 Konami Gradius Q4 Konami Mystical Ninja starring Goemon Q3 Nicalis Cave Story Q3 Nicalis Nightsky Q4 Nintendo Pokémon Dream Radar Oct. 7 Nintendo Sparkle Snapshots 3D Oct. 18 Nintendo Pokédex 3D Pro Nov. 8 Nintendo Fluidity: Spin Cycle Q4 Nintendo Wario Land II Q4 Nintendo Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Q4 nnooo Spirit Hunters Inc. Q4 Teyon Crazy Chicken: Pirates 3D Aug. 16 UFO Interactive Johnny Impossible Q3 XSEED Games Unchained Blades Q3

Hopefully "Q4" for Wario Land II is an early Q4.

Did we already know about this new Fluidity game for 3DS? I thought the first one was really cool, but the controls were annoying and prevented me from playing it a lot.

[Qurupeke]

Woah, a new Fluidity game? The first game was as good as World of Goo. Have we got a trailer or some screenshots?

[Murrah]

I totally forgot Night Sky even existed. I know making fun of Nicalis release dates is easy but damn. That's been slated for Q4 across various platforms for three years now hasn't it

[Jucksalbe]

Hmm...is there a Game Boy Gradius game or is it the NES version?

Edit: Can't wait for Zelda II, I need the save states for my Ambassador version. Really don't want to try it again without them.

[lunchwithyuzo]

Wikipedia says NES, though I'd wait fir clairification.

[videtonator]

I'm praying for a new Gradius. Gradius Rebirth 2, or something different, but a new one, please.

[Colonel Mustard]

New Simple Series Escape thing. This time we're escaping from a tropical resort.

Kirby's Dream Land 2 isn't on that list. Who wants to bet NoA is withholding it till next year because of Kirby's Dream Collection?

[Kirbyguy]

Probably two years since VC releases usually come two years after a rerelease (see SM64, Kirby Super Star, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV, whatever the hell else was rereleased)

Where is Picross-e? >:|

[isny]

Unless I'm missing something Mystical Ninja being an N64 game is being released on the Wii VC right? Not the 3DS VC?
