They should have had every VC game on launch week.
It is the same as the Wii VC version of SMB3 released in NA, so that is not a very plausible reason to not release the 3DS version in NA. The European Wii U/3DS versions also have it, as does the JP 3DS version which was released like 15 months ago. FIFTEEN MONTHS AGO.
Thanks. Just a couple actually. How are the size of the sprites in game (particularly the bullets)? And any slowdown? Thanks again!
I logged a goood hour on the game as well. Beat it on normal (yes, fairly easy on normal) but there is still hard and extra hard.
Gorgeous game. Sprites are big and pretty. Sound is off-the-hook and way better than genny/gba. It is like an HD version of those games. Things flash red when hit instead of white like the originals. Otherwise , basically the same game structurally. No flicker or slowdown. Achievments and local leaderboard.
I dunno about price as $30 is really nothing for a shooter for me. Guess your milage will vary. I've got every shooter on 3DS and this and the nee Fantasy Zone rank up there at the top. Washes the bad taste from the two Milestone junk titles recently released.

A new indie game announced, inspired by Metroid Prime, but alas no sceenshot, just the engine running..
I've just seen it on Go Nintendo: http://www.gonintendo.com/s/224519-dead-pixel-announces-sync-for-wii-u-updates-on-starbeast
- first-person-adventure
- developed by Dead Pixel Entertainment
- only in development for 2 weeks
- original plan was to have development done by April, but the team was slowed due to a staff emergency
- six team members involved
- looking to innovate in the genre
- focuses on exploration and discovery
- you are thrown into a world with little to no direction
- come to find out something is terribly wrong in this world
- game won't hold the player's hand
- game world simple enough to navigate with a compass
- inspired by Metroid Prime
- the game world is devoid of life, with everything clean and organized
- enemy characters move through specific paths
- dual analog first person shooter scheme
- aiming to release by the end of 2014
- involves item collection
- robots have become dominant
- locate data stations and upload a deadly virus to destroy Sync
- Sync is a computer system
- orders are coming from an unknown group called Gensys
Curious about this.
The same developer also mentioned another game:
Starbeast
- horizontal shooter.
- includes writers, voice actors and musicians on the team

The Mario 3 "edge of screen glitch" is not actually a glitch at all and did the same thing on an original NES. You probably just never noticed it thanks to your TV hiding it, though.
The NES can only use an off-screen buffer to update tiles on a single axis.
So in Super Mario Bros., you would see nothing because the screen only move horizontally. Super Mario Bros. 2 also had nothing because each area was set to either horizontal or vertical, so the off-screen buffer was fine there too.
Mario 3, however, scrolls in all directions. So the vertical buffer is off-screen, but the horizontal one had to be done by using the edge of the on-screen area. That's all you're seeing, horizontal tile buffer.

That's very true, a lot of NES games had little graphical glitches that we didn't realize because they occured just off screen on tube TVs. Some emulators have options to compensate for that but for whatever reason, Nintendo's chosen not to for VC.
Sounds so good. Should I even start hoping for a quick release here in Europe? I have the feeling we will never see this game here.
£4.99 is perfect, as I just got another activation code from DDP.
Kind of hoped for a demo for Pokemon Battle Trozei. Haven't been a Pokemon fan since Silver/Gold, but I don't mind checking out the spin-offs from time to time.
I'll probably download the Conception 2 demo, though mainly to see how it differs from the Vita's demo since that's the version I'm getting.
& once again, waiting on a sale for Yumi's Odd Odyssey ($20 or less).

2 Week development? Is such a thing even possible?
the games were also free for 24 hours on their date of release after activating the license.
Like the hat?

Looks like it's puzzle day with Trozel leading the charge.
No you cant. At least I'm pretty sure you can't.

Volleyball. Man, I've been waiting for this!
Interesting - if it's happened before then maybe that means it'll carry on in future and for other games apart from Wii Sports Club too.
steel diver? kinda.

Random Wii sports club thought. You know the golf game that has the option to put the gamepad on the floor...What were they thinking? You had people throwing remotes at the TV and now they want them to drop them on the Gamepad or better still, step on it.
I know they showed the tech demo meaning it had to become a fleshed out product and honestly at this point of the game such an article would be beneficial.

Me too! I thought they might try to pull something shady like putting out Chrono Trigger or a Neo Geo title, but they really came through this time.
well people are stupid, their fault.
there is also a warning about this before every round and it can't be clicked away.
aaaand the 'Pad on the floor'-mode is super awesome.
... when your club is not drifting.... sigh!
Nintendo to respond with making rubber covers to put on Wii U Gamepad similar to the ones for the Wiimote.
Come now Hiccup, such salt....
Nah, they did the same thing on Christmas day (the day the eShop went bust
). But only Wii Sports Club has had a free week-end.

I loved how they even named the promotion "2 games, 2 days, 2 dollars" to get everyone's hopes up for future promotions. At this point I'd be happy with a simple 30% off promotion on some nice games or a buy 2, get 1 type deal.

So Trozei seems to be one of those Bejeweled clones with a Pokemon skin?
You act like it's a surprise.
I'm not really surprised week-to-week, just continuously surprised by its languishing state.

It's not a BAD week per se. I mean, Pokemon Battle Trozei is there. I don't want to pass judgment on Chess....
But seriously, NES Volleyball? What the actual fuck.
I hate sounding like a bitch but that is embarrassing. NES sports games like that should only be released in sets of three or more. Being the only VC game for the week though? Baffling.

They really need more sales for vc games.
With current prices i wont buy a single game
A lot of people say "the vc releases are lame only one game per week" and i agree with em, but the biggest problem is the price. With those prices they can pop ten games per week and ill still buy zero

Stereoscopic 3D support, that's like the 2nd Wii U title to support it isn't it (the other being AC3)?
I'm interested in this, but the PSN version scores are quite low...
Edit: Cross-platform online play with not only 3DS, but iOS and Android too? Sold!

I have an issue with day 1 DLC.
I dunno, sounds like something from the 3DS.... no idea why they'd have stereoscopic 3D on the Wii U *shrugs*

New communities for Miiverse on the 3DS :
But it is so cheap. I have no problem with day 1 dlc if it is this cheap.
