This Thursday we're getting Slingo Supreme and Cake Ninja as DSiWare titles.
Cake Ninja is a completely original creation, like Ricky Rouse and Monald Muck.

More in my behalf then. I mean, it's not like they're porting something tech-heavy that needs to escalate assets, it's a frigging spectrum-like game that runs at the exact resolution of the target system.
But they added 3D! (that you won't be able to use due to the black backgrounds)
Im pretty sure it started out at 10 bucks before being marked down permanently, maybe they based the price off of that?
8-10 is a pretty hard pill to swallow despite it being an amazing game.
It was, in the original Steam release. Recently a free update basically replaced the entire game by a C/C++ port (which I imagine is the basis for the 3DS version).

It launched at $15.
$8 isn't a surprising price. $5 on PC is without all the kind of red tape fees you have to cover on consoles/portables like dev kits and ratings boards.

That's your loss then. I'd imagine that the 8 dollar price point coincides with Nicalis' price for Cave Story on the eShop as well.
Nicalis ports over some wonderful indie games to consoles - that effort alone is worth the price of admission.
Japan's January Wii VC lineup has been posted.

VVVVVV and Bionic Commandi for me this week. What am awesome way to cap off the 3DS eShop for the year
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
yeah it's total garbage worse release in a long time i can't believe nintendo even lets FLASH developers on their service UN BE LIE VA BLE
You forgot the exclamation points.
So, no demos? Not even RE:R? Well, we can give the feature for lost in the West already. If they're not going to shove a demo for the biggest release incoming 3 weeks prior launch to everybody's console (especially when it's DONE and TRANSLATED already to all languages), it's obvious they don't care at all.

What's going on with D4 why have NeoGeo releases fallen off a cliff in the west? I'm still pissed we never got the Sunsoft fighters (WTF Vic!?).
Yeah, nothing. Resident Evil is already rated in all regions and the demo is localized. There's no excuse for not having the demo up in all regions. Some press guys should ask for an official statement, and I guess it might be time to send Nintendo a couple hundred thousand angry emails...No demos in today's update, I take it.

In spite of what can only be interpreted as major sarcasm, don't you think pricing a Flash game at $8 kinda diminishes Nintendo's whole argument regarding what "they" offer over iOS, etc.?

Downloading VVVVVV!!!!!!!
Haven't played the game before but I've heard great things so I think the price is OK.
The download is 491 blocks.

I don't see how it's in any way relevant what engine a game uses. In fact, Flash is a more expensive engine than Unity or even Unreal Engine these days.

Not actually that important
Is it out NA only or EU as well?

I'm downloading from the NA store!
Quick Impressions:
The game runs great, really like the controls, feels really smooth (though that's to be expected, I guess).
The 3D is a nice little bonus but nothing out of this world. There is a bit of ghosting because of the black backgrounds.
There's usually 3 levels of depth. There's a space (animated stars) background, then a bit of scenery from the ship and then the front layer where the character and the actual level are located.
Haven't even finished the first level yet.
***plays***
NA only.

In VVVVVV, I don't see an option to import levels made in the PC version, as promised...
I never said any of this at all.
I never said I hate VVVVVV. And I even said it isn't Flash (I was referring to a post earlier that claims its a flash game). It's a great game (have it on Steam) but I'm shocked that it's 8 dollars. But isn't the Steam version cheaper?
Oh well, it's not a really big deal I guess, just a couple dollars more. So I guess in a way I did overacted a bit.
EDIT: Is there actually anything new in this port?

For my Euro brethren, the developer posted this on his blog:

LOVE Mighty Switch Force on 3DS!
The controls are super-tight and the gameplay is really fun. Retro but with a new twist thanks to the switching mechanic. Yes it's short but trying to hit par will keep me busy, just hope they release some new levels in the future. If this and the incredible Pullblox are the sign of things to come then the eShop (and hopefully Wii U-ware) could become something really very special indeed.
Can't wait to VVVVVVVVVV launches in Europe, just totally addicted to the 3DS right now and the line-up over the next year is going to be amazing. Never thought I'd be this excited about a handheld

It doesn't, and I didn't make a comment regarding the matter. Perhaps you meant to reply to a different post.

Is there a place to check if the European 3DS shop is down or something? I get Error Code: 001-0502 but my Internet connection is fine. I've update my console and all.
(EDIT) Nevermind it, might just be my router. But why did it let med update then? Always a problem with Nintendo and Internet.
