SNES/GBA games!
I will stand by this until proven wrong.
By the time they can't come out anymore because it's too late, nobody will remember you saying this anyway
Is it known that Project X Zone is coming to UK 5 July? http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/Project-X-Zone-754970.html

aw yeah PXZ demo!
Awesome .gif. Really appropriate too since we're set to receive the original Shantae soon! As a European, I feel blessed.
I was kind of expecting this.
Not that I could warrant paying $7 for it anyway when it's been a buck, or two on Steam a thousand times.
That's fucked up.
The original Shantae, oft referred to as the Game Boy Color's "swan song" will be belly dancing her way onto Virtual Console soon. Just take a gander at that shiny new box art! This beloved bit of gaming history was previously only available in North America. Not this time! Shantae will be making appearances in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand; wherever good times are had. Unfortunately we will not be able to announce a specific release date (June 20th) at this time. Check back angrily and often at www.wayforward.com to discover the Shantae's secret release date (that's June 20th) in the days and weeks ahead. See you on June 20th!
Yeah, I probably wasn't going to double dip anyway; got it on sale off of PSN years ago.
I don't think there will be SNES/GBA games on 3DS. I think there SHOULD be, especially in the manner of cross play and stuff like that, but Nintendo is dumb and they don't allocate appropriate resources to help their VC team out. Which they should.
Because like everyone say last week on this forum, with people playing Super Metroid VC for the first time and posting stuff on Miiverse on if the game rocks/sucks/or they're stuck, that's awesome. You can get tons of moments like that playing VC games. Its why Nintendo really needs to put more of their muscle on that so people can turn on their WiiU/3DS more often.
EDIT: Honestly what irks me lately is the order in which the games are released. I like SMB2/SMW tons. But why not release SMB1/SMB2 one week and then SMB3/SMW the next week? I guess I just like trying to play the games in order. =p

Finally the Oracle games are close to coming out. I remembered thinking they were going to release them during their E3 conference last year.
Only a year late.
Can't wait to play Shantae soon as well.

Altered Beast 3D coming to 3DS eShop next week.
Sold. But only if it's the arcade version. No 3D'd Genesis version.
I hope this fourth entry isn't the end of Sega's 3D Classics. I'm enjoying them, and I still need Outrun.

Yeah if it's the arcade version, I'm in. Genesis version, they can go pound sand.

The ports seem solid so far. Keep churning them out, M2.

I agree.
I played the Genesis version a couple years ago and I had such a difficult time playing it. Just wasn't any fun.

Will NA ever get Kirby's Dreamland 2?
Prepare to be disappointed on both counts. Though I suppose there's always a chance that they'll announce a "3D Project Part 2" and do another set of games...Sold. But only if it's the arcade version. No 3D'd Genesis version.

If you can create a Wi-Fi hotspot for your 3G connection, you should be set to download games (though maybe a little slowly.) Playing online games that are latency-sensitive might be tricky, but yeah, shouldn't stand in the way of downloading.

Shantae on my birthday! Woot woot!
I've downloaded games from eShop using my iPhone 4 as a hotspot, so I can confirm it can be done. They download slower, obviously, but GBC games aren't too big anyway.
So Gunman Clive is out in japan today. Any j-gaffers downloaded it? Any reviews up in the eShop yet? I've been trying to gauge the reactions on twitter etc, and there seems to be a decent amount of talk but I have no idea what they're saying. Google translate barely makes it any easier to understand
Bare with me 5 mins Beril. I'll edit this post as opposed to make another...
Edit: here goes. It's not on the front page but when you scroll over the new download releases it appears as so...
It has 14 5 star reviews at present. It's not in any top twenty yet but they're notorious slow starters (save for Tomodachi, Animal Crossing, Super Mario etc)

How's Starship Damrey? Looks like an old school Shadowgate style game in 3D.
It's not as good as it should be, unfortunately. The puzzles are pretty straightforward and the story is sparse. It could really have used a lot more random documents to find and read. Pretty good atmosphere, though.

Wish I had seen this before I bought it. The frame rate is one of the worst I have ever seen in a video game.

I kinda dig the sparse story, but straight forward puzzles are a killer :^(
I hope it's successful over in Japan for you. Can't wait for your next game which I've seen you give a short interview that it's a top down Zelda Link to the Past inspired game?

I was pretty excited to see it on the Japanese eshop, but I already had the NA version, so I didn't buy it. My Japanese isn't too strong, but if I can translate any reviews, I will. The name has been changed to Gunman Story.
And keep making games. I had a blast with Clive. Perfect Megaman controls go a long way.
Searched and found nothing, but here's something interesting. Capcom has given an ESRB rating to 1943 Kai, listed as 360/PS3/3DS/Vita. I think this is the first we hear of a 3DS version.

Interesting that one of the listed features is user-generated content.

Only for the three Kirby games I take it?

Yup.
Hmm. I have Super Star on Wii and was planning to get Dream Course anyway. So if I system transfer now, I'd get Dream Land 3 for free. Can I overcome my laziness and do the system transfer...?
PXZ demo's only in Europe for now.

It's nice that we got this deal so soon after Japan got it. Gives me more faith in NOA.
I already have Kirby Superstar so I may just upgrade that. Don't need to bother with the others, but the deal is nice considering it's Buy 2 Get 1 Free if you want them all.

Yeah, I might do thus too as it seems I could get all three Kirby games for $9. Gotta look into backing up my Brawl save first though.

8-4 cast. Play this game!
It is Dragon Quest X, promoting the new update.

Bought Gunman Story. Finally can play it with proper buttons support.
It is a nice little game, Beril.
