I'm from the U.S. and last time I checked (2 days ago) it wasn't, source?
Or at least that's what I read here, because Nintendo is not publishing it here, Level 5 is doing it, so that excludes it from the "every Nintendo retail release will be DD too" thing.

Nintendo is publishing the hell out of it.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Nintendo is publishing the hell out of it.

This. Nintendo is definitely publishing it.

 

[dallow_bg]

With the way things are going it might be the last year to do it.

Ha true.
TRU does the same kind of sale a few times a year as well though.

 

[Jucksalbe]

So which of the Guild01 games are actually supposed to be good? Looking at some Japanese trailers, Crimson Shroud seems to be the only one that looks somewhat decent.

 

[vagabondarts]

Gonna be getting crashmo, lost levels, Zelda 2, fluidity, and all guild01 games.

This will be great!

Hope Matsuno's game makes a fortune and he releases more small hardcore RPG's for the eshop.

 

[Kacho]

OMG CRIMSON SHROUD

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Really? What's Sakamoto's team doing then?

Brain-Age isn't Sakamoto's iirc, it's a different SPD team. He's doing Tomodachi Collection 2 anyway.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Lost in all of this is no Kirby's Dream Land 2.

February in Japan
May in Europe

N/A in NA

I've heard good things about all of them. Aeroporter in particular was supposedly a pleasant surprise.

Actually somewhat surprisingly the only title that I've heard much negativity for was Crimson Shroud. Need to look into that more.

 

[Letep]

Ninja Gaiden.

I found my Ark of the eshop.

At least you got the Kirby collection.

 

[KillerTravis]

No I thought he was in charge of Game & Wario since he was the one doing the WarioWare games but now I remembered about Tomodachi Collection 2.

 

[grandjedi6]

I'd love to know as well. What's with the Sakura Samurai -> Hana Samurai renaming? Sakura means cherry blossom, hana means flower - Japanese in both cases, similar meaning. I don't get it. Copyright issues?

Trademark issues specifically. Looking it up, it seems that Shueisha Inc. (the publishers of Shonen Jump and Naruto) holds the trademark for "Sakura" for "downloadable computer game software" until 2016. Meanwhile in the US, Shueisha only had the trademark "Sakura Haruno" for game software and even that expired back in 2007.

So yes, it got renamed to "Hana Samurai" in Europe due to this annoying character:

 

[The Mana Legend]

Why can't I have Super Mario Bros. Deluxe?! Shitty field of view aside, that's the best version of Mario 1!

 

[Velcro Fly]

At least you got the Kirby collection.

I don't own a Wii so it's pretty much useless to me.

 

[rjc571]

Oh yes, Crashmo will be MINE.

It has a lot to live up to, seeing how Pushmo is pretty much the most perfect game ever made, but if anyone can pull off improving on perfection, it's Nintendo.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Oh, yeah. Wario Ware tends to be a collab with IntSys anyway, I think the only ones SPD1 did themselves were the original and Twisted.

Ha, oh well, since the EU seems to get those games earlier, we will have plenty of impressions until the games (or at least the first) release in the US.

 

[metalslimer]

The VC lineup still looks bad, and they seem to be doubling down on NES games.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Lost in all of this is no Kirby's Dream Land 2.

Not just that. Missing games that NOA previously confirmed for release already:

Colums (GG)
Gradius (NES)
Harvest Moon GBC (GBC)
Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB)
Kirby's Star Stacker (GB)
Legend of the River King GBC (GBC)
Shantae (GBC)
Sonic Blast (GG)
Sonic Drift 2 (GG)
Sonic Labyrinth (GG)

Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D and Mario Kart 7 will become available for purchase from the Nintendo eShop on Oct. 18 at a price of $39.99 each. Additional Nintendo 3DS software currently only available at retail stores will become available in the Nintendo eShop in the future.

That's what I like to see.

Having Mario Kart always with me = heaven.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Yay! Guild01 games! Stocked bout this more than Crashmo

 

[Putty]

If you enjoyed Fluidity on Wii, you'll absolutely fall in love with it on 3DS!

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Dead @ $40 for those games. Nintendo and Sony need to rethink the DD prices -____-

At least is not 45 euros like in europe. The prices are pretty stupid and I prefer a game with a box for that stupid price.

WHERE THE HELL IS HARMOKNIGHT

 

[Father_Brain]

Probably too much text and Japanese humor, so Level-5 bailed on it. Crimson Shroud is text heavy too but it has Matsuno's name behind it so that's different.

Still a chance that it could be a 2013 release, I suppose.

 

[fabfour64xx]

Oh yes, Crashmo will be MINE.

It has a lot to live up to, seeing how Pushmo is pretty much the most perfect game ever made, but if anyone can pull off improving on perfection, it's Nintendo.

Intelligent Systems knows its stuff.

 

[Drago]

Wario Land 2 on Dec. 20th? I'm sure Europe will have all 3 games by then.

Lots of other good stuff though!

 

[Qurupeke]

Fallblox>Crashmo. >

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Glad to see all these announcements. Good thing I upgraded to an 32Gb SD card.

 

[tkscz]

All those games, might have to upgrade from a 32 GB to 64 GB SD card.

 

[Man God]

Not just that. Missing games that NOA previously confirmed for release already:

Colums (GG)
Gradius (NES)
Harvest Moon GBC (GBC)
Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB)
Kirby's Star Stacker (GB)
Legend of the River King GBC (GBC)
Shantae (GBC)
Sonic Blast (GG)
Sonic Drift 2 (GG)
Sonic Labyrinth (GG)

I'd be willing to bet that they're holding off on Harvest Moon GBC to cross promote with HM:A New Beginning in November.

 

[massoluk]

One of the 8-4 Play dudes played Crimson Shroud, didn't sound like they liked it at all.

That left me with that RPG shop game and Liberation Girl from the package. I hope the former come over some day.

NoA and NoE had to sacrifice it's life in order to get what we're getting from the all mighty NCL, you should be thankful.

 

[ohlawd]

Dear God! Take it away!

Crashmo screens:

That...is...awesome... I can't wait. :O

 

[backlot]

Isn't 32 GB the maximum a 3DS will take?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Pushmo can suck it. Give me a good Game Freak game any day.

 

[Tathanen]

This is crazy. Looks like you'll have to pull out the black part, and all the other parts will fall down behind it, and you gotta go back around it and climb up. Note the space in front of and behind the puzzle.

 

[Kacho]

you take that back!

 

[mollipen]

So everyone's happy, not just us the Europeans

I'm not happy until the Pink x White 3DS XL gets announced for the US.

 

[Vic]

As long the SDXC card is formatted in FAT32, it should work with the 3DS.

Intelligent Systems > Game Freak.

 

[Joeshabadoo]

While these are all fantastic announcements, and I'll be enjoying many an announced game,what in the hell is Skip up to?!?!?!

I NEED MORE ART STYLE

oh lol

 

[zroid]

And to think that I liked you. Such a fool I was!

This is crazy. Looks like you'll have to pull out the black part, and all the other parts will fall down behind it, and you gotta go back around it and climb up. Note the space in front of and behind the puzzle.

Yeeeeep. I wonder if you can give the puzzles themselves depth when you design them, or if they'll always be 1 block deep.

They're hard at work translating Welcome Home Chibi Robo! for the US, and developing Chibi Robo 4 for Wii U.

Spoiler

Yeah, right

 

[Kouriozan]

Crashmo screens:

Need!!

 

[Velcro Fly]

Any word on if we are going to get the sales that were announced for EU during their ND?
