It's a great version of the game. I use to play it a lot on the GB. Kind of difficult, though.
Awesome! Downloading now~!
I had it back in the day , its much better than the GBC game IMO.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Eh... not a huge pinball fan so I think I'll pass.
I'm more hyped about what games go up for your Club Nintendo points anyways!

Here's a link to some 3D Virtual Boy images that you can view directly from your 3DS web browser, if like me you're too lazy to download the rar file and take the SD card out of the 3DS and figure out which folder you have to extract the mpo files to. (Just ignore the girly pics and scroll to the bottom, then tap the image you want to view and tap the mpo button from the 3DS browser.)

Is there any good recent review on Bionic Commando? I'm still 50/50 on it.

Zen Pinball is fucking GREAT.
Great value for money, great port, fantastic 3D. If you end up getting it just come over the (now serving as OT) Zen Pinball [3DS] This Fall - thread and share your friend code for highscore challenges

An even easier way to view the Virtual Boy screens:
(Press L or R from the 3DS dashboard --> Press the QR button on the touchscreen --> Scan the QR code above)

What's interesting about these is that the red color seems to avoid crosstalk completely, even if all backgrounds are pitch black. These games would work perfectly on the 3DS and I hope Nintendo adds them to VC someday.
But thinking again, it might not be that easy. The hardware seems around to the GBA in terms of power but the CPU is clocked higher and is not ARM (so the 3DS would need to emulate it completely).

why didn't anybody mention Mario Kart is a downloadable game on Club Nintendo
whaaaaaaaat.
whaaaaaaaat.
I am pretty sure they could make it a 3D Classic or write an emulator.
Wii has a decent virtual boy emulator, I think they can manage.
Although they weren't enough games for Nintendo to make VC VirtualBoy worthwhile.

but it's too bad that we may not experience, maybe the best, handheld Wario platform

It's mentioned in the actual Club Nintendo thread. You didn't know? Today is the last day and it's been up for a month.

They probably burned the source code for these games alongside Gunpei Yokoi's body. Also, the Wii's 700+MHz CPU is surely faster than the 3DS 267MHz one (even if it's using both cores).
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Why would they need the source code?

I knew about the 3DS games (Xevious and Mario vs. DK) but not the Wii ones. Hot diggity.
I got real lucky in that I had a gigantic pile of expiring points and wanted all four of those games.
Watch it be a bunch of stuff I've aleady bought this month!
To make it a 3D Classic, I imagine, was the intent of that statement?

We're talking about Virtual Boy games. They're already 3D. Nintendo just needs to write an emulator for them.
I'm aware. But tsab said
I'm just trying to tie together what people are saying here
Not yet.
To avoid emulating the Virtual Boy for a couple of games.
I derped and forgot to add that the 3DS CPUs might not be fast enough for proper Virtual Boy emulation. Even if they are, writing the emulator might need more resources than actually porting the games and might not be cost effective.
(Nintendo also probably wants people to forget the thing ever existed too).
So... The new NA Club Nintendo rewards are here!
They're good until Jan. 31.

Kinda off topic, but the pop out on those pics are really pronounced and really good looking (especially the wario title screen). Just imagine if the 3ds had a 3d camera with a field of vision above the screen. it could detect finger location and allow interaction. there'd be no physical feed back, but it'd still be pretty awesome.
Does the "Updates" section of the eShop simply not work? When I click it, it immediately presents me with a popup saying there are no updates for any of my titles, but if I go into the "Your Downloads" section there are 6 different titles it lists available updates for.
Also, I assume I can safely use "Download Later" for my updates without worrying about my saves being messed up?

I've never had the "Update" panel inform me of anything, and I'm curious as to what the issue is.
My save files have all been fine after updating either directly or via Spotpass.
Oh cool, I just queued up my remaining updates for download later, and it sets the icons to flashing and faded, then you can highlight them and check how much is downloaded... I never noticed that you could actually check progress on downloads other than opening the system to see if they're done yet.
It would be nice if the Updates menu would give a list of your titles that have updates and allow you to quickly queue up to 10 of them for SpotPass download without having to go through the "checkout" process for each one again.

Some 3rd parties too. Zen pinball If I remember correctly. Probably some silent security fixes (compiled with a newer SDK maybe?).

Can't really complain about those, though I'd gladly trade out the GB Kirby game for the 3D Classic.
Nintendo has been pushing these stealth updates for a while now. I believe they don't need/want existing users to download them ASAP, thus why they are hidden in the download history.
It's up to Netflix themselves. Netflix has been available in Brazil for quite a while now but the 3DS app is still IP-locked to US-only.
Yes! Now I have reason to play Majora's Mask.

I know I'm certainly not booking it over there, heh.
I should be happy that someone else is going to play Majora's Mask but I'm too busy being sad that it took you so long. ;-)

The Club Nintendo choices are pretty good. I already have Majora's Mask and Dr. Mario Online Rx, though. I'd get Kirby but the game is already really cheap on the 3DS Virtual Console, so I'd rather save my coins for games that cost more. I probably would've gone for the Kirby's Adventure 3D and pretty much ANY other Zelda game.

Majora's Mask, cool.
Now I don't have to worry about it crashing like the GameCube version.

Dream Land is pretty great on its own merits, though.I thought for a second it was Kirby's Adventure instead of Kirby's Dream Land, and was disappointed enough when it turned out to be Dream Land that I bought Kirby's Adventure.
