Nintendo Downloads - March 2017
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
Never really paid attention to it before, but when does the update for Japanese Nintendo downloads come out? Is it the same time as the US one?
I love Region Free Nintendo.

Wonder what awesome Wii U VC thing will come this week.
Sadly I don't expect to see any VC for Switch in the PRs for ages, the news banner on the Switch itself says, under the bit about VC games with the online service, "Coming late 2017".
if they added a comma after late, they could've added some much needed levity to that fact. :/
If there'll be anything, I'd expect the EU store to catch up on NA's PC Engine games from last week.
Booooooo

It felt like they were heading in that direction. 2 of their recent deals were partly only announced on Thursday. I'm talking about the MH Generations and Zelda Promotions.
It felt good starting Monday with something to look forward to, but we'll probably get used to it if it's true.

Shame, having an announcement on Monday gave me enough time to research a game, ask for opinions, read old threads on it here (if VC), etc so then by the time Thursday came I was ready to buy it (or not).
I'll probably buy a lot less games on a Thursday now.

Monday announcement was better, I'd prefer America changing to that!
Booo!
To me this would make sense if there was now no difference in the updates and everyone just got the same thing but apparently that isn't the case still.

Nah, there's always been the occasional promotions and stuff not announced in the weekly PR.
But yeah, no more PR on Monday would suck really bad.

So right now we have:
- NoE: great and exhaustive PR with everything you need to know (hopefully they don't stop listing sales)
- NoA: trash PR with lots of missing stuff (price, etc.) and no sales
- NCL: lol eShop PR
Mobot Studios (Paper Monsters Recut and Blocky Bot on Wii U, also ported The Deer God to Wii U) has shut down.

Looks like it doesn't have Pro Controller support yet, but it will be patched in the next days.
Sounds like some retro fun! Thanks for sharing.
For some reason I totally forgot to keep adding these threads to my subscriptions. Whoops!
I bought Shovel Knight to have something for Switch launch and after years of completely ignoring it and making fun of people who want him in Smash (which is still kind of dumb, he's only been in one game!!) I have to admit: it is a pretty gosh-darn good game. Levels keep taking me way too long to beat because I'm an idiot who keeps breaking checkpoints but it's fun enough that I don't really care.
I also grabbed FAST RMX and boy is it WAY better than the Wii U version right off the bat. Cups are vastly more palatable in groups of 3, the AI is much more toned down on the easiest difficulty than it was before, and I can actually get a chance at trying Hero Mode! The HD Rumble isn't anything too amazing but it is nice to finally have rumble on a handheld (we don't speak of that godawful noisy DS rumble pak. Drill Dozer was cool though I guess).

Tomorrow's Wii U VC release for Europe is Bomberman 64.
I don't know why Konami has waited so long to launch Bomberman games in Wii U VC. It had January and February almost free to launched them.
Other Neo Geo releases tomorrow in Europe and Japan. NAM-1975

Looks like Japan is getting eShop updates Thursdays too.

This is the Switch version.
I forgot to say it. It's other ACA Neo Geo game, so it's for Nintendo Switch.
You beautiful, beautiful bastards!

Created a Japanese account and downloaded Metal Slug 3 and the demos for Puyo Puyo Tetris and DQ Heroes 1&2 last week, love that the shops are region free now.
Did you have a working non-Japanese credit card or did you get a pre-paid card?

I've been waiting forever for Bomberman 64! I'm so happy I'll finally be able to download it tomorrow. I hate that it came after the Switch released but at least I still have a reason to use my Wii-U now

Please tell us, if it has functioning Controller Pack support. Otherwise it's next to unplayable in Single Player...
Hopefully that means it will also come out on Switch one day. I just love that game and will buy it for sure!

That would be interesting, as other games that supported the Controller Pak don't have that feature on Wii U. If the emulator has been updated, then Goemon would work now.

You could work with save states if it turns out it doesn't let you hard save.
Don't play with my heart!
But you can create save points in the vc emulator.
edit: Beaten.
Damn, and Goemon is a Konami game, could this... no.. must hold excitement...
