My favorite part is that they're keeping the name.
Nintendo Life posted a review of Monkey Pirates:

Sounds like it is worth $5
I dunno, I prefer to spend my $5 on something like Armillo which sounds much better...when $5 can get you games like Kung Fu Rabbit I get pretty picky!
The patch definitely came to Europe, in May I think.
Us North Americans still don't have the patch, unfortunately.
I've got exactly 600 coins to spend. (Reimbursed like 50 surveys I had lying around from my Nintendo-heavy 2013/2014 - still have like 150 to go for a head start on this year!)
Do I spend em on Mario Party 2? Or do you guys think the odds are good for better games soon?
Definitely hold off. I used to like Mario Party 2 a lot but it doesn't hold up very well.

How come NOA is always so secretive about what's going up on VC? It's weird.
I'll have to disagree with Max here. It's still the best Mario Party, in my opinion, a timeless classic, in fact. All the boards and minigames are just as fun as ever.

Just going to post this one more time, because Fuzzy Wuzzy has agreed to give away 4 total codes for Armillo, 2 EU WiiShop Codes and 2 NA.
You can enter via mod bot in the thread, 24 hours to enter, you can enter more than once but only win 1 time. You will have to pm me when you win and I will send you the link to register with the email program Fuzzy Wuzzy is using to send out codes. I will then let them know you won and who you are, and they will email you the codes.
I only ask that you support the Game by posting in the Armillo OT. That's all.
Thanks!

It's an amazing MP. I love the game and think it's one of the best MPs. It's just blurry as all get out on VC. I imagine on a CRT playing on an N64 it's nowhere near as bad. But it was eye-blurringly bad on Wii VC and I am not usually one to nitpick or be bothered over such things. If you can get past the graphics
and typical MP rubberbanding nonsense
Oh man, you're doing a giveaway, that's awesome! I can enter both US contests, right? That is too cool. I'll buy if I don't win but I'd love to win. Fingers crossed!
Ah yes, I only play it on my N64. That's a pretty big difference, then. What rubberbanding are you referring to, though? AI?

Yeah, on an N64 it's a whole other experience entirely. I long for those CRT days on a system like that! Anyway, yeah, it's mostly AI, but it also happens with individual human players. Basically MP has a tendency to reward whoever is doing the worst, the most strongly, and to go the hardest after whoever's in first. The AI algorithms seem customer-tailored to that effect and it can be maddening in a game like MP to have Bowser give all of your stars away when you're doing well or to be rewarded extensively when you know you haven't done nearly as well as your peers, be they AI or human...it's much worse than in MK because a much bigger investment of time is involved.
This might sound like a dumb question, but did the Giana Sisters patch make the game smaller? Seems like a weird thing to ask about but that thing takes up over 3 GB. What a memory hog.
So, I'm temped to just go out tomorrow and buy enough eShop credit to just clear out my wishlist (or get close to it). Probably a crazy idea.
Got it. Well, I won't go into it here (since I talked about it at length in a recent Mario Party thread), but I actually like the balance in 2. Let's discuss it in private, though.

If you have a deluxe system you should probably do that before the end of the year!

As long as Kung Fu Rabbit is on that list I support that idea! Haha. And I'll check out your lengthy MP post and pick it up in PMs from there.
I do! Good point, thanks.

Oh, it definitely is. Here's the MP thread btw.
Someone, answer super quickly.
How long is the ramp up for Shin Megami Tensei 4. I want to start playing it before I go to sleep but I actually want to play it.
I'm actually rotating between a couple of games right now. Bravely Default and Zelda : OoT (borrowed from the same friend).

Well, the beginning of SMT4 is arguably the hardest part of the whole game. Although personally I didn't have any problems with it and I know other people who didn't either, I've read/heard some people refer to it as the part that "you gotta push through" to get to the good part. I think it's a great beginning and love it, but beware, I guess.
I can't remember how long it takes before you start playing, but I'm pretty sure it gets going pretty quick or at least I don't remember having any problems with that and I'm usually pretty easilly annoying with games that take a while to let you play. You can save and stop playing pretty much whenever you want, so there's that if you want to go sleep (or you could just close the 3DS and pick up in the morning where you left off, the 3DS can sleep as well).

3 VC titles at once?
FUCKING NOA.
Fuzzy is great, you are great, I hope the game will be great too.
About supporting it: what do you think if I download the game? that is even a better support! I like to support the project, especially after the launch price initiative, that is something I'd really like to see as a standard on the eshop
I'll probably download armillo tonight
Do you title every single one of your posts?
Do it. The game is fun and quite unique. It's really something people haven't played before.
Read the tag.
Mega Man Battle Network in Japan, and Europe gets Adventure Island. What is Adventure Island?
But NCL has stopped 3DS VC update for 2 months already.
I wonder what's going on there...
Is this the one that had all of the RPG stuff?

WAT ALIEN CRUSH WAT
Give it to me, NoA. That was probably my most played game on Wii. I'd really love to see the other platforms return to the VC, that's the biggest thing the U is missing over its predecessor.

LOL it's not gonna happen. Alien Crush has been on the 3DS VC for months in Japan, along with several other Turbo Grafx games, with no indication that they're ever going to be released elsewhere.
Not up to NOA, ask Konami.

Why would Konami have any say in this?
Because they own Hudson.
They're supporting it in the sense that they're actually releasing some titles from time to time. They're not releasing anything that isn't big in one way or another, and even significant games, they sometimes ignore. Where's Contra, Operation C, Belmont's Revenge, Ghost Babel, almost every single Bomberman game, and it goes on...
Yes they're the 3rd most prolific behind Capcom and Bandai Namco. I just wish they'd bring their TG16 and MSX stuff over.
Meanwhile I've got no clue what's going on at Square Enix. They have like 10 games they could release already but we've seen nothing.

I feel like I've been posting this same thing for many many Nintendo Download month threads now, but maybe this month I'll get to play Shovel Knight.

Closest its ever been surely, and even then I still don't have much confidence.
