There's a *lot* of stuff in the pipeline so I don't think we'll see long eShop droughts again.

Wouldn't surprise me if they make that part of E3 direct.

BTW did Nintendo update their mobile site yet again? Looks really good looking at Lttle Dew!
They just did a total overhaul of their sites

Looks even different from their initial redo unless my mind is playing tricks on me.

It took a year and a half to get GBA after it's announcement...
Wait why wouldn't it be fair for the backers?

Jeez, anyone who doesn't yet own Overclocked needs to dive on this deal face-first. The other two are also worth $15, but damn, don't miss the Overclocked deal.

So, this is coming in the next couple months. It's passed all of the submission steps except lot check, so it might actually keep it's title.

Looks just like Bomberman. I guess if Konami isn't going to give us a Bomberman game, these guys might as well. Doesn't seem to have online though.

Some eShop game Chubbins is now going to release on the Wii U eShop 6/5. Did Nintendo just get through testing a ton of eShop games or something? Suddenly this week a ton of games have gotten release dates.
No, only Alpha 3 had a GBA version. I think the first one might have had a GBC version, though.
Yup, it's the SNES version. Meanwhile, Gargoyle's Quest 2 was confirmed for the Wii U VC in Japan not long after it was released for the 3DS VC. Still waiting on that & some others to come here.
& yes, Alpha 1 did have a GBC version. Alpha 3 had a GBA version as mentioned above & then that PSP Max port. Alpha 2 had no portable versions.

Here's my thread about this game. I'm actually kind of psyched for it, it looks fun to me.

Would I be right in thinking that Mario Kart 8 will be up on the eShop at midnight next Thursday? Haven't yet downloaded any First Party Retail games on day one so I wasn't sure, but I'd love for it to be earlier.
It should post at midnight EST / 9pm Pacific.
This is disappointing, because the Chubbins guys went around a few corners of the Internet looking for feedback for their game. They announced it was coming to the Wii U, and the Internet screamed back that it looked very cheap and generic, and they sounded like they were keeping an open mind and taking that feedback to heart. Of course, if they really wanted to spruce up the visuals, that probably would've taken them more than a week.

Is the SNES Street Fighter Alpha 2 even any good or should I just stick with Turbo?
minor effort
Banned
The fact that it's the SNES Alpha 2 highlights the absence of the Virtual Console Arcade that the Wii had.
I personally like it but a Street Fighter super-fan and snob I'm friends with once called it the worst Street Fighter port made, worse even than the Game Boy stuff. I think he was just trying to piss me off.
The gameplay is solid and it has a different roster than Turbo of course, but be forewarned that there are indeed load times.

Is that Alpha 2 the one that has load times on a cartridge game? Cuz that was always interesting to see. I think that Donalf Duck game has them as well, released sorta around the same-ish time?

The Fall will be out next week for PC, which means full focus will now be on the Wii U version, which will probably land sometime in Q3.

Oh yeah, that's the one. It's a damn good effort for cramming Alpha onto a SNES cart, though.

SNES version of Alpha 2 isn't as good as the arcade, but it's not immensely horrible or anything. It's basically just technical issues. It still looks really good and plays well. Rather, it plays well if you're a fan of that energetic, combo-heavy Darkstalkers-era fighter.
Joy Mech Fight we could potentially get in NA. I mean, if Nintendo felt like it, I'm not saying it's likely. It's a really simple fighting game. There's very little text to translate. As opposed to Famicom Detective Club, which is a visual novel.

It should be. If you're in Europe though remember this. The free game promo starts at 10:00 on the 30th. So if you register the Club Nintendo PIN before then you might not get it. I'm not sure if having an account linked automatically registers the PIN either.Would I be right in thinking that Mario Kart 8 will be up on the eShop at midnight next Thursday?

Brilliant! Didn't play this so I'm looking forward to it. Has there been any mention by Nintendo of games like this hitting the 3DS at some point? It would make my E3 if they announced that with a Sony style CrossBuy thing!!!

Mega Man V for me this week. Too bad we're almost done with the Mega Man games. I like having a new game to play each week.
And with Minish Cap likely coming next week, it seems they really didn't manage to put out Super Mario Kart before the release of Mario Kart 8, strange.
