Why is it DARGON QUEST?

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

Nice now bring us Final Fantasy III. Chrono Trigger, N64 games, and Metroid Zero Mission.

Complain to Square-Enix about these. FFVI has been out in Japan for well over a year. Clearly Square-Enix don't care to release it.

The first two are in Square Enix's court. The latter pair, though, oh man. I need Zero Mission on my TV, and I'm not going to dig up my old Game Boy Player for it.

Because proofreading must be crazy expensive.

You may be able to find Chrono Tirgger if you look on the eshop.

 

[MilesTeg]

Seems like someone at NOA was like "Shit, we never pressed the button?"

 

[Lonely1]

It needs online.

 

[Bundy]

Best Mario Kart ever!

 

[Diddy Kong]

Maybe Square Enix had Capcom do it

Didn't ff3 and CT have better ports to other systems you probably own? I agree on n64 and Metroid though.

I thought the VC versions were considered the best due to PS1 load times and inferior GBA sound quality.

I'm mainly talking about the DS CT. Didn't 3 get a port to PC and mobile with 3D graphics and stuff

Final Fantasy III did get a PC port but not Final Fantasy III, the SNES game (Final Fantasy VI), which is what we're discussing here.

Or NOA isn't asking for it. There's a lot of incompetence in both organizations.

$1.50 well spent.

 

[LegendofLex]

Don't take me wrong, I'm not criticising Nintendo. I'm honestly in awe that they can get away with it when last year's AAA games can be had for 5 bucks on Steam.

I bolded the part of your post that explains everything.

 

[PetrCobra]

Oh man, so expensive... for a 20-years old game that can easily go away if something goes wrong with your console.

Spoiler

I've been going full digital with my Nintendo systems for some time now and just waiting for that decision to blow up to my face

As long as you have your correct NNID info, you can ask Nintendo customer support to disable your account activation on a previous system and authorize activation on a new one.

 

[Hip Hop]

I thought this was already out before Mario Kart 8.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Only in JP/EU. NoA left us starving.

Agreed!

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Awesome! Now we need SMRPG!

 

[joedick]

What? Didn't Earthbound get a whole trailer and a bunch of push from social media? This is just completely out of left field.

And EB got its own press release and a huge presence at Comic Con (or PAX, or whatever). Do people want them to advertise it on TV?

 

[Nathan_Drake]

so i have only had my wii u for a few weeks. do you think they will offer SMK Wii version on CN again? that way I only have to pay the 1.50?

I assume they want that 7.99 so probably not.

 

[Madao]

this is clearly NoA's new budget saving measure.

they know a game like SMK will sell anyway so there's no point in spending extra resources promoting it.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Awesome! Now we need SMRPG!

Iwata approves this comment.

 

[dolabla]

Well, this is a nice surprise. Will download it later on tonight.

 

[NewGame]

That's weird. In Australia Super Mario Kart came out a month(?) before Mario Kart 8 and whatever you spent on it was discounted from Mario Kart 8's digital purchase.

I basically got MK8 for free as I used my delux digital promo points to purchase it along with the Super Mario Kart discount- and then I also go the free game that comes with MK8.

NOA is terrible at strategically timing Virtual Console releases. A Link to the Past came out months after A Link Between Worlds.

 

[Plinko]

Played it for awhile earlier. This game has not aged well. Might be the worst of the series. The AI, rubber banding, and their use of items is atrocious.

 

[Shauni]

I'm glad to see that Nintendo is still supporting the SNES and not just exclusively releasing GBA games now, but come on Nintendo. You've got to be more regular with these.

They released NES and SNES after releasing GBA games. It was never a concern.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

NOA is amazingly terrible with this shit. I just don't get it. I mean, all big three regions are worse with their VC handling than they were last gen, but NOA is particularly bad. Aren't we the only region without Brain Age too, free or otherwise?

 

[Phil S.]

I don't know what's up with that. Maybe there's a belief that the classics will overshadow the new releases or will take attention away from them? *shrug-a-lug*

 

[Moofers]

Most PS1 games are $10, with the less desirable ones coming in at $6.

Actually that's not true. Only a small number come in at $10 with the vast majority being $6.

How much are n64 games on Wii VC?

 

[ZeroGravity]

Yeah, it's sadly true. The awful controls as well are the worst part.

I loved the game to death as a kid, but yeah, it's the worst game in the series by far. Even if you're talking 2D Mario Kart, Super Circuit has every single track in SMK, plus all its new tracks, and without any of the problems.

I'm such a shithead that I have Zero Mission AND a GBA SP AND a GameBoy Player and I'm still waiting for the VC release to play it for the first time.

 

[Phil S.]

Nearly all are $10 each.

 

[Moofers]

Nearly all are $10 each.

Great. That's a fair price, IMO. I really want to get those on my U though so I can play on the GamePad. Gonna wait it out.

 

[pizzapizza64]

Has Metroid Zero Mission been announced for the U.S.?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Hopefully, Super Mario RPG is next.

 

[Shauni]

Has Metroid Zero Mission been announced for the U.S.?

Nope, but generally, VC games aren't announced much ahead of time. We'll probably know like two weeks before, at most. Or hell, they may not announce it and it just gets released with no fanfare. It's always hard to tell.

The office in charge of eShop content and marketing really needs an overhaul at Nintendo.
