Maaaan, wtf at no Halloween sale.

Think I'm gonna rebuy Art Style: Boxlife just to help pass the time.

 

[Javier]

I'll be picking up Corpse Party tomorrow. Perfect game to play through this long weekend.

 

[TheMoon]

So, it's confirmed NoA doesn't give a fuck anymore about sales.
I hope NoA PRs change with NX release.

They have a new dev-submission platform thing (online) for sales. Thus they can't accurately cover sales in the PR.

But... That's for both NoA & NoE. Is NoE being lazy too?

 

[Man God]

Hell no, the NOE Halloween sale (last week I might add) is a great one overall by NOE standards.

I still think overall NOA does have better sales...but they are seemingly less frequent.

It looks like they have a bit of lag built in, actually. Jools said he missed the window and the Dementium sale in Europe will start on 10 November.

Yea, the usual NOE deadline->delay thing still applies. Maybe they do this with lead time to get everything set for the different country/language storefronts?! Who knows.

 

[Zonic]

Guess we gotta wait for Thanksgiving/Black Friday for the next big sale.

 

[Agent Unknown]

Is the 3DS eShop down for anyone right now? I'm getting "007-2100 An error has occurred, please try again later," my internet is fine for my other devices, so probably just maintenance related but just thought I'd check.

 

[Ondore]

Loaded fine for me.

Heads up: Elliot Quest is on sale in NA until the 11th of November.

 

[Agent Unknown]

Yeah, shop works fine for me now.

And I'd get Elliot Quest if I hadn't won it in a contest last year. 8)

EU I presume? Because I can't believe NOA would give a damn.

F-ZERO X (Nintendo, N64 VC) - €9.99/£8.99

I knew it. NOA really is worthless it seems. It's absolutely mind boggling how much the two different regions have changed over the past ten years and now Europe of all places is getting treated so many times better. Not that I'm complaining a European!

A scintillating successor to a Super Nintendo classic, F-Zero X is one of the fastest racers you'll ever clap eyes on. If you were one of the wimps who got queasy from playing the original F-Zero, wait until you play F-Zero X! Part of the reason F-Zero X plays so well is the game's consistently fast frame rate. Even with 30 hover cars jostling for pole position on-screen, there's never a hint of slow-down.

[Glass Rebel]

I wish Nintendo would announce their plans for Switch VC. If I knew that these purchases are gonna transfer, I'd buy F-Zero X in a heartbeat.

 

[-shadow-]

I'm assuming we're not getting any information on that until January. Personally I recommend waiting, the VC on the WiiU is garbage-tier for most platforms. It can only improve from here on out. Especially looking at the NES Mini.

 

[Zonic]

Oh damn, that's right, new HW Legends DLC is out today....I look forward to forgetting to play it.

Also what the hell, EU gets Mario's Super Picross AGAIN? Bring it to the US, Nintendo, I would gladly get it, I need more Picross.

& dat ain't F-Zero GX.......gimme GCN VC on Switch, Nintendo. F-ZERO GX ON THE GO, I WILL GLADLY PAY FOR THAT.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Oh, I'm definitely waiting but I'd also love to start playing it on Thursday.

Why do we need to go through this again? Monday is PAL day. You won't hear ANYTHING about NA on Mondays. Mondays is only for PAL eShop news.

It's actually "garbage tier" for the minority of platforms.

VC may not transfer for free but it will be acknowledged. There's no way it won't.

Wooooooo F-Zeroooooooooooo!!! Now to count the weeks (or months) until we get GX... let's hope for 2017! (alongsideTerranigma of course ;D)

Now that I didn't know this myself, so excuse me on this one (even if I'm assuming they're not getting it )

Personally I find most of the supported consoles to have one issue or another ranging from input lag, terrible colour pallet/darkness and/or multiple 50Hz releases (though this one is not really emulator related).
But we'll see how they'll handle the VC transition or not. It's going to be interesting with the NNID's and MyNintendo. But we'll see.

PAL, you can still get Pilotwings (and Xsomething off) until tomorrow on MyNintendo.

With NNID and MyNintendo in place, I dont think we will have to rebuy VC games, even Wii to WiiU they didnt make you rebuy them, only upgrade fee if you wanted WiiU features.

I dont think Switch will have some feature that would require rebuying, it will already have off-tv play and should have Miiverse and button mapping in place.

My only concern is will Nintendo make us wait so long for VC games to release. I think they should release almost all VC games that are out now on WiiU and 3DS on Switch by the end of the year, and mix in GC games and more Wii games.

Mario's Super Picross (Nintendo, SNES VC) - €7.99/£7.19

Hopefully Mario's Super Picross will make it to NA this time.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

YES!

Ha I thought of you when I read this this morning

They better release Power Drift separately

Maybe they've just been waiting to finally release this compilation in Europe before they offer this separately everywhere... yeah, that must be it!

 

[BooJoh]

F-Zero X and Super Picross? That's a great VC week for EU.

I really hope NOA brings Super Picross over this time. I don't even care if it comes this week or next year, I just want the opportunity to buy it.

 

[PadWarrior]

Maybe we get x3 this week on 3ds?

 

[MegalonJJ]

Will F-Zero X be the 60hz version?

 

[TheMoon]

Will F-Zero X be the 60hz version?

Yes, obviously.

They even uploaded a specifically labeled 60fps trailer.
