Something like Mario should always get a worldwide release :(

But then NOA would have to release real amounts of software instead of "saving" Mario for the big dates when they should be putting out niche stuff/Japan-only stuff (like they did on Wii for a bit).

Just a heads up: In the US Store, the Rayman Legends demo is up. There's a demo for Sonic Racing too. Also, the digital version of Batman is available for sale. Noticed these by browsing, I'm not sure the e-Shop has reflected this on the main page yet.

Are there play limits on Wii U demos?

Rayman demo is only 575 MB, nice. Probably the same demo as used in Wii U demo stands right?

Are they on Japan VC?
I'd like to try out Icarus 3S Classic, looks good.
Click to expand...
Recca and all the Rockmen games are, the Dragon Quest card game is an all new game although sadly no time to play as of yet. Full list of Virtual Console games (and an idea of what may one day hit the west) is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_for_Nintendo_3DS_(Japan)

Sadly Kid Icarus is probably the last of Nintendo's 3D Classics as they actually sought to actively improve the graphics rather than just add 3D layers. If you've played previously and enjoyed it then go ahead and buy, I'm not really sure how new players would relate to playing this now for the first time. Perhaps some other posters can help you out there?

And on a side note, it looks like American players get to download Adventure Time this week? Just hope this hits Europe.

THe Murfy bit was indeed quite good. I wouldn't want to do that more than a few times throughout the game, but if used sparingly, it should contribute some fun variety to the levels.

NINTENDO DOWNLOAD HIGHLIGHTS NEW DIGITAL CONTENT FOR NINTENDO SYSTEMS - DEC. 13, 2012

Dec. 13. 2012

This week's Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS™

CRIMSON SHROUD – LEVEL-5 and Yasumi Matsuno brought together the industry's most respected role-playing game creators to lend their support to CRIMSON SHROUD. Follow the tale of a young "Chaser" named Giauque, as he and his team find themselves drawn into the mystery of the Crimson Shroud. A tribute to the tabletop RPG, players roll dice in real time and chain skills together to earn bonus dice of greater and greater value. Use the dice strategically or the foes may get the best of you.

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King why'd you steal our garbage?!! – Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?!! is based on the Emmy-nominated Cartoon Network show about two close friends: Jake, a wise old dog with a big heart, and Finn, a silly kid who wants to become a great hero. Adventure Time show creator Pendleton Ward was heavily involved in the creation of the game's original storyline and quests. Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?!! is also available at retail stores, and a demo version of the game is downloadable from the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS.

Nintendo eShop on Wii U™

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed – Demo Version – Sonic and the All-Stars cast line up on the starting grid to battle for supremacy in the ultimate race. Compete across land, water and air in incredible transforming vehicles that change from cars to boats to planes mid-race. Master your driving skills as you drift, barrel roll and boost to overtake your rivals, or use your weapons and unleash your All-Star move to gain the winning advantage. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is also available at retail stores.

Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition – Developed by WB Games Montreal, Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition is the enhanced version of the award-winning blockbuster videogame created by Rocksteady Studios. The Wii U version delivers the same powerful story and game play as the original title, but with enhanced game-play mechanics and features made possible with the Wii U GamePad controller. Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition is also available at retail stores.

Also new this week:

Rayman® Legends – Demo Version (Nintendo eShop on Wii U)
Art of Balance TOUCH! – Demo Version (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
Ninja Gaiden (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
Gardenscapes (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
Meat or Die: Linda (Nintendo Video™ on Nintendo 3DS)
Chuck E. Cheese's Alien Defense Force (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo DSi™ Shop on Nintendo DSi)
Rytmik: World Music Edition (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo DSi™ Shop on Nintendo DSi)
Zombie Skape (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo DSi™ Shop on Nintendo DSi)
REAL BOUT FATAL FURY (Virtual Console for Wii™)

Glad Batman was added. Now to decide between it and Assassin's Creed 3. Leaning more toward Batman but the homestead building keeps pulling me toward AC3. I love stuff like that and Batman from what I understand has none of that. No central hub to go back to and do stuff.

Given that the Adventure Time demo was "confirmed" (albeit not by Nintendo) for release nearly a month ago, I'm doubtful it'll actually be up today. But we'll see.

At least a lot of recent 3rd party games are getting digital releases as of late, which is really nice. Wish Nintendo would put up some of their backlog though, I want Mario Tennis digitally.

One more week until WL2...

Rayman demo is very very very nice :D

No general 3DS thread so...

Uh, I was playing Pullblox (an excellent game that can be downloaded at the 3DS eShop and the only way this is relevant at all!!) when I realised that my shoulder buttons have completely died and don't respond at all. R almost always fails and L works only sporadically.

Do you guys have any suggestions? Is there a conclusive way of fixing this? Launch day 3DS so warranty is probably void. =(

Hydroventure is pretty great. I was initially surprised at the lack of 3D effect, but then it just make sense with the gyro controls. Which are not optional, by the way. Works perfectly, and I look forward to tucking into this properly.

I had the same problem. Try to clean the dust on the buttons. If it continues to not work, send it to Nintendo for repair. It probably won't cost more than 15$.

I think you should ask to Nintendo Customer Assistence.

Crimson Shroud is going to be the first thing I buy with my next paycheck. And Wario Land II will be out by then, so probably that too (maaaan I hope it's the GBC version).

Looking froward to hearing more impressions from you (and other owners). I've always been a believer in the gyro controls for this game.

How does it feel to be constantly turning the 3DS around? I imagine you'll spend some time holding it upside-down. Awkward?

$5 game on the Wiiware/VC



Also, did we ever find out where Magic Obelisk went? I wanted that game :( :( :(

The Wii U's still young, I'm not really expecting that to build steam until the holidays pass.

How the 3DS has been is pretty bad though, it's only actually kind of good now thanks to stuff like Crimson Shroud coming.

A little bit, at first. My problem was that I was hitting the start/select/home buttons. Got used to it pretty quickly. The controls work very nicely indeed. There's a lot of content here too, and the difficulty ramps up sharpish.

Batman has a ton of content, though. The city is packed with side missions and opprtunties to wreak havoc. Disclaimer: I played it in the ps3 earlier this year.

Get VC up or SOMETHING.

The Wii had VC from day one, and if I recall, right at Christmas time they put up A Link To The Past and so everything about it was really exciting.

They have a hundreds of games already emulated forced into Wii Mode, and they aren't even releasing any new ones.

VC made the Wii feel like it had games coming constantly...just...do VC if you have nothing else, Nintendo.

As someone else stated, blow into the buttons. If you pinch the sides of the buttons and lift up a bit, then blow under the button, it may fix it. Worked for my DS Lite.
