I just now started digging into the Ambassador games.

I may have missed this, but there aren't any save states in these, or am I missing something?

There aren't restore points yet, those will be added in the final versions to be released on the eShop later (we'll get the upgrade free.)

There are interrupt saves though. When you exit to the 3DS Home menu it saves the state and next time you load up the game it'll be right where you left off.

Ah perfect, thanks. I really didn't want to have to mess with passwords in Metroid.

The 3DS conference is on Tuesday the 13th, so maybe that means Four Swords will be available for download that Thursday the 15th. Mention that it's coming "this week" to add to the stuff to announce or something. At least, I would not be expecting it this week, at all, but I'd be fine being incorrect there. :)

Is four swords completely dependent on multiplayer? Is there no single player built into the game? If not I'll probably download it for free and just look at it in my 3ds menu.....

The one on the GBA was multi-only as far as I remember. The immensely better one on the Gamecube allowed single player, although there was no real reason to because the game is best experienced with another person.

Yup, multiplayer only. But the great thing about this DSiWare release is that it's a free download, and because it's DSiWare both 3DS and DSi owners can download it, so it shouldn't be too hard to find someone else to play with. It was a lot harder to find people to play with on the GBA, lol.

Yeah, but it's nowhere near as fun without another person. But I know that not everyone knew someone else with a GBA to play with.

That's a total lie and you know it. Alison>all. Sure it's only been one episode, but nothing can top Alison as far as in-console video game-related shows go.

This is true. My young son was obsessed with Alison and Gary for a while. Nintendo even sent him an autographed picture of the two.

I just noticed there is a Mario VS Donkey Kong Minis March (or something) games out on 3DS. It's £7.20 on the UK E-Store. Does anyone know if this is a full game? I had the first one they did on GBA all those years ago, is it similar to that?

I haven't played any of the DS MvDK games but they're apparently nothing like the GBA game at all, they're supposedly similar to Lemmings or something.

Gargoyles Quest is AMAZING!!! Has freaking great graphics for a Game Boy game. I'm totally blown away.

When you talk to people its SUPER SLOW, but besides that I'm in love with this game.

Um...yes and no. As the previous poster said, the Minis games do play a bit like Lemmings, since you don't exercise a lot of direct control over them. However, a lot of the same puzzle and level-design elements are very much in line with both Donkey Kong (GB) and MvDK (GBA). They're all excellent games. Just don't expect the same thing as what you got with MvDK. Direct control over Mario is great, but this is also great in its own way.

I would say gameplay-wise it's similar to Mario & Wario (SFC). Like Lemmings, Minis move on their own in a deterministic fashion, but the difference is that you can only control certain parts of the environment such as filling in stepping blocks and triggering springs for timely hops.

There's absolutely nothing in the "next releases" area of the NoE website for the eShop. How many bets we get a deserted week today?

It's specially bleeding seeing how there's already like 10 3DS-specific games in Japan and we still only have one...

The Bit.Trip Flux demo has been removed from the US Wii shop this morning, so only the Kyotokei demo is left now.

Edit: Nice to see they're not totally done for yet...

Guys, check the "Coming Soon to the eShop" section. There's a video of WayFoward's new game "Mighty Switch Force". It's 3DS-exclusive, not DSiWare.

U.S. eShop? I know the trailer came out for Europe last week, but I'd love to check it out in 3D.

This week is underwhelming because the 3DS conference is next week and all the cool stuff will get announced there, right? Right!?!

:lol

does anyone know if we'll ever get another N64 game for virtual console?
Click to expand...

Don't know for certain, but it's doubtful. I'm just hoping for Super Bonk 2 from the Japanese VC to get brought over. N64 games seem to require more work (?), so probably not. One you were waiting on, in particular?

Not getting my hopes up too high, but I wouldn't rule out demos launching next week, or another surprise eShop title or two.

Why was there no Nintendo Show 3D today? Unless that's on a different day of the week or will be uploaded later today. I know Nintendo Week usually isn't up until later in the afternoon PST.

So I started a thread a while back lambasting Nintendo for their eshop selections. I pretty much got mocked and flamed.

So I'm browsing the store today...

There are FOUR games that are in 3D

FOUR GAMES IN SIX MONTHS. Just awful.

There are a bunch of Nintendo published titles, that they might be able to push out. But developed titles are basically down to the Pokemon Stadium games.

The strategy for North America is pretty weird, considering there's triple the content available on the Japanese eShop for 3DS developed games.

Pilotwings 64 is the big one, for me. I can't believe it never got a VC release, especially after PWR was released.

Not too much. Pilotwings 64, Excitebike 64, and Mario Party 3 are the most notable that are still missing, since I wouldn't expect the Pokemon Stadium titles due to their peripheral use or Dr. Mario 64 due to the WiiWare one.
