Nintendo eShop update officially released [New Update: Fixes Ridge Racer 3DS issue]
- Thread starter AceBandage
- Start date
Apparently the following were on the E3 2010 3D Classics demo reel according to IGN:
Mario Bros.
Tennis
Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Musasame
Punch-Out!!
Excitebike
NES Open Golf
Twin Bee
Super Mario World
Kirby's Adventure
Mega Man 2
Castlevania
Urban Champ
Kid Icarus
Yoshi's Island
Smash Ping Pong.
Granted, in the Iwata Asks about the eShop they said that Tennis was ruled out because it didn't "wow" them enough, so obviously this list wasn't anything set in stone.

Apparently the info we were given was wrong and that PR will start on Thursday as well. So no 3 day warnings and whatnot.

Looks like Japan is getting Double Dragon next week. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/eshop/vc/index.html

Wait, all those games are already available on the Japanese E-Shop?

That's what I was just hunting for. What's the point then? Get people psyched up earlier to visit the eShop, I say!

I wonder when 3DSware ( or whatever they are calling it ) and some GBA games are going to arrive.

The Ridge Racer issue is solved via update, right?
Some mod should change thread title

They haven't "officially" announced that GBA is coming to eShop yet, but since the version of Four Swords being given away in September is the GBA version, I would guess soon. Perhaps Nintendo will have another summit around then.
Plus they don't want to undercut GB/GBC sales by introducing an infinitely superior platform. The GBA library shames any other handheld.

It was a lot like the NES one, but it had different levels and was hard as hell. I remember it had some incredibly annoying levels where you couldn't walk up and down and had to do some crazy platform jumping.

agreed
Double Dragon 2 on the other hand is probably the best handheld beat'em up ever and even shits on Double Dragon Advanced and Final Fight Advanced.

I think this fell through the cracks during E3 and it probably isn't worth it's own thread, but the 3DS browser is actually neither classic NetFront nor NetFront Live, it's NetFront NX - a new Webkit based browser by Access optimized for extremely low memory usage. 3DS is the first device to use it. Flash support is planned, but not available right now. Not Nintendos fault, Access simply doesn't offer it yet. Also, contrary to the specs listed on Nintendos website, it actually does support HTML5, though not nearly as well as, say, Chrome.
I believe that also marks the first time Nintendo uses open source software, the source code is available at Nintendos website. Nice to see.

Too bad it's so slow... Although that 3D picture of the lego ship is pretty cool...wsippel said:
I hadn't heard that it was coming specifically in September, but they did say it would be DSiWare, which means it's not a VC title, it's most likely being ported to DSiWare complete with expanded resolution and wireless support. If GBA comes to VC it will almost certainly have nothing to do with Four Swords.ConradCervantes said:
Speaking of wireless support, have any multiplayer games been released yet on GB VC in any region? I'm really hoping they can support local wireless, because throwing out multiplayer from certain GB games would just be a crime.

I think I'd like to point out the big deal here that isOni Link 666 said:
HOLY CRAP NINTENDO JAPAN IS GETTING DONKEY KONG 94 THIS WEEK
After Links Awakening, easily the best game Boy game ever made right there.

When are the updates for eShop? And where can I find those lists?

I'm looking forward to DK. I think most people here knew about it already though.
eShop updates are on Thursdays and the lists of games are posted on http://press.nintendo.com
I just transferred the rest of my DSiWare except for the few I'm leaving on my DSi or can't transfer (Woo, 120 menu spaces now!) and I had to move some of it to SD to download the rest because I ran out of internal memory. Clearly the 3DS has more internal memory and can hold more DSiWare, but I can't help but feel completely baffled at the fact that Nintendo couldn't manage to let us boot DSiWare from SD card, even if it was via an SD menu with a temporary copy like on Wii. It's slightly less cumbersome to move stuff back and forth on 3DS than it was on DSi, but I really just find it hard to believe they couldn't come up with a way to just let us boot it.
Thursdays for America. The PR will probably go up around 5-6am Pacific, and the update around 9am, assuming the times stay the same as before.Notorious_Roy said:

Another choice could be makin a video program instead of packagin individual videos as individual programs which is totally insane because it isn't 1934 and so anyone using your product has probably grasped the concept.
the trailers and their implementation are an afterthought, like so many of the "features" of nintendo's online strategy. it seems like the most basic functions and implementations occur to them only after the fact. like, how is there STILL no straightforward way to just BROWSE THE FUCKING STORE? an no, awkwardly messing with filters does NOT count. this borders on sabotage. as a third party i wouldn't want my game in a store where it's HIDDEN by default. the interface is still a massive pain and goes against so many of the most basic principles of ui design. it's like the respective engineers and designers at nintendo live in a vacuum, completely unaware of just what the standard for (account based) online shopping is. the mindnumbingly inept implementation of the dsi store baffles and annoys me to this day: no sorting, no filtering, no option to see new content, slow as shit, 2 games per page. if you release a new game that starts with a "Z"... tough shit. no one will ever come across it. the 3ds eshop is a minimal and barebones improvement, but it's not even CLOSE to being up to scratch. hell, the servers alone can't even cope with the current user base when a large majority are trying to access it.Stumpokapow said:

Well, that's the impression I've always gotten of Nintendo, that their corporate culture is one of detachment from most outside influences.
But I can't say I agree with your assessment of the eShop. No, it's not perfect, but there are filtering options, there is also a specific icon for newest additions to the shop, and I haven't had any real issues with the speed of browsing or downloading from the shop, either. Only two things, off hand, I can think of I would like to see different with the eShop: 1.) When you view a game listed on your wish list and try to go back to the wish list, don't bring me back to the main menu, and 2.) Make the front page to the eShop more user-friendly, i.e. a basic introduction with small icons linking to main categories of the shop, rather than the scrolling menu now with no real welcome page.

Just tried to enter the store and was notified that new firmware was available. Could this be the Ridge Racer fix?
