The Crushed 3D demo is now on the Best Buy Demo units. I imagine it is the same verison that EU has on their EShop.

It was developed by them too. Capcom's listed as the publisher on the VC release though, which makes sense since it was the same for their previous Sega developed/published Genesis VC games (Forgotten Worlds, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Mercs).
Capcom still has the Genesis version of SSF2 with added online play scheduled for US Virtual Console. Before the Wii VC dies out I still want to see them release Mega Man 6 (NES), Mega Man X2/3 (SNES), Gargoyle's Quest II (NES) and Demon's Crest (SNES). All that seems pretty reasonable.

I'm honestly surprised that it took this long for Genesis Strider to show up on the VC.
I know Im late in response but that is FUCKED and totally indefensible.
In response to someone saying you can play through the game without it: a trinket in the secret lab requires you to play through the game in Flip mode. This should have been found in QA
Anyways its cool to see the ambassador games (or at least one of them) are being released for sale!

Um, will you still respect me in the morning if I tell you that I hadn't noticed that? :/
Thanks for your feedback on the game though
. I've never played a mega man game and am not normally fond of uber hard games but instant re-spawn and generous checkpoints dissuades me from avoiding this game. I thoroughly enjoyed 'And Yet It Moves' so I'm looking forward to this .Seven Force

Yeah, was damn near arcade perfect, if I'm remembering correctly.

How did it notify you sir?

As soon as I logged into the shop, it said there was an update for one of my titles. Then, it took me to the update list.

Oh. I logged into the eShop earlier [UK iteration] but didn't get that. I had to manually update all my NES titles. Love the new SMB icon
. I assume that once the Ambassador games are made freely available to buy they will be getting the same treatment. I hope so as it's a really nice touch!

Why did you need to check the eShop five times?
I heard something about it being available on the 16th, but people in the thread seemed to have downloaded it already, so I kept going on and checking late last night and through the morning.
I'm done with it already. I understand the need to keep movement analogue for the sneaking around aspect, but swapping look and move in first person would've been a nice touch. I ain't spending money on that other thing.

Where the hell is Wario Land, Nintendo??
Seriously, they're wasting their time putting console ports (Super Mario Bros) on the handheld instead of old handheld games. Outrageous.

I know nothing much about Wario Land but I enjoyed 2, 4 and Shake Dimension so i'm in.
I'm intrigued by Strider if it ever makes it to PAL land but judging by the vanishing acts of other Capcom VC games like Mega Man X and Mega Man 5 i'm not holding my breath.

Bought Wario Land, never played it before! I'll probably play it in about 6 months :'(

Am I dreaming?
Did somebody say there's a North American Wii Virtual Console release?
And it's for the Genesis? That's almost two years to the date since the last one!

No, this is the first week back. They weren't available/transferrable from a DSi before today.
Ah. There are relatively few DSiWare titles left that aren't available on the 3DS...
* Asphalt 4: Elite Racing
* Let's Golf
* Real Soccer 2009
* Real Soccer 2010
* Sudoku Master
* Sudoku Sensei
* Sudoku Student
* The Oregon Trail
...as well as these more obvious exceptions:
* DSi Browser
* 3DS Transfer Tool
* Flipnote Studio

I noticed that as well.
Does that mark the last unavailable DSiWare now being on the eShop?
Oops, I guess not.

You'd have a blue/black background and everything else in front. Super Mario Bros. is one of the last games I'd want to see as a 3D Classic.
I'm glad Pinball Pulse came back before Domo. If Domo had come back first I may have had cause to rage a bit.
Bushes and clouds would make up at least one level.

PAL or USA store?
My answer will be different, since the availability it's different for either store

There's more going on there than in Super Mario Bros. Even just in that NES shot the backgrounds are a lot more detailed.
Sure, they could give Mario that same angle but it'd a) Do a lot less for the gameplay and b) take a lot more effort if you wanted to get that sort of fore/back-ground effect in the Mario style environments.
A bigger issue would be the severe amount of ghosting that occurs when you use flat-colour backgrounds especially high-contrast colours like black. That's almost certainly the reason they added new backgrounds to Kid Icarus.
Of course, they could just use the All-Stars assets.

Yoshi's Island will get the 3D Classics treatment if I have read the runes correctly.
Miyamoto hinted as such IIRC

Alison left Nintendo Week?! They might as well just cancel it now.
Right after I heard the news I knew I had to watch the very next episode.
It's so depressingly bad that they ended up bringing in a "guest star" for the next episode.

The guest co-host was pretty cute. Cuter than Alison.
She's cute but I wouldn't go that far.
Still anything is better then Gary talking to himself. Double dose of failure.

I went to the Best Buy near me and they didn't have the Crush 3D demo for download (it was the Mario and Sonic 2012 demo). As an Activity Log icon collector, I was very disappointed.
I didn't come out empty handed though.

A fellow Activity Log icon collector, yay!
And the demos that are available to download from the Nintendo Zone are always ones that are already available on the eShop, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Crush3D demo isn't a download demo in the U.S. (yet, at least), it's a demo built in to the physical demo 3DS system at the store.

I would endorse both Mighty Switch Force and VVVVVV, personally.

Whoops, you're right. I guess I misread an earlier post. :/
Oh well, like I said, I didn't come out empty-handed.

He also stated his interest in re-releasing Zelda ALTTP as a 3d classic.

I won't hold my breath, but man, I would love to be proven wrong.
I just got a new fridge! Feels good man.
I tried downloading the Resident Evil demo a couple of weeks ago, and to my horror, I was unable to do so cos I didn't have enough free blocks. Bought myself a 16GB Class 10 bad boy and transferred all my shit over, easy. Was able to download all those niggling stealth updates too. What the fuck were they for?
I learnt a few things:
1. Demos don't appear under "Titles You've Downloaded".
2. Deleting and redownloading demos does not reset the play counter. Not surprising, but confirmed nonetheless.
3. Downloading updates requires the same amount of blocks as downloading the game again. Presumably the original file isn't obsolete until it is entirely overwritten. It caught me by surprise that I was unable to update Metroid II because I required 46 blocks.
4. A Class 10 SD card does not eliminate the delay when loading games on the Home screen.
5. The "Available Updates" option in the eShop settings is a redundant waste of screen real estate. Although, there needs to be an "Update All" option.
6. I need fucking folders.

This is cool. I'm just looking at my Activity Log now. But...It says I have played 80 titles, and I only have 79 icons. i.e. The last space on page ten of the software library is blank. What gives?Tyeforce said:A fellow Activity Log icon collector, yay!
