I wonder what they're going to give us in North America this week? Bowling?

I bet Kirby & Double Dragon.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I bet just Kirby with all dat spite going on.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Japan is getting Gargoyle's Quest (400 points) and Golf (300) this week and Pac-Man (300) next week.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/eshop/vc/index.html

I'd totally buy Gargoyle's Quest and Pac-Man. Can't wait to see you guys QQ when they release nothing but Golf one of these weeks.

Man, the selection of Japanese VC games makes ours look pathetic.

 

[angelfly]

Just added 1000 yen and picked up 'The Misshitsukara no Dasshutsu'. Witch's Cat looks interesting but I'll until more gameplay videos surface before getting it.

Well at least we'll be prepared for it. We already had tennis week as a primer for the worst to come -.-" I wish I could glimpse into the future and see what the VC will look like a year from now.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Gargoyle's Quest!! Here's hoping this means the sequels will also head to Wii VC.

 

[Big One]

2 Players huh? I wonder how this works exactly. Is there any game on the VC right now that supports it? It would be nice to hear that there's wireless compatibility for multiplayer.

It's passing the system back and forth.

This week's releases have been revealed, although the newsletter won't be out for a few hours.

3DS Virtual Console
Kirby's Dream Land

DSiWare (also available on Nintendo eShop for 3DS)
Moto eXtreme
Boardwalk Ball Toss
Hearts Spades Euchre
The Lost Town - The Dust

Wii Virtual Console
FINAL FANTASY® III

WiiWare
Big Town Shoot Out

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

BTW, Moto eXtreme actually looks pretty fun. I've never heard of it, but it looks like a dirty Elasto Mania rip off (which is a good thing!).

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Fuckyes, FF3, FINALLY!!

 

[sfried]

This week's releases have been revealed, although the newsletter won't be out for a few hours.
3DS Virtual Console
Kirby's Dream Land

I'm there.

Wii Virtual Console
FINAL FANTASY® III

Finally.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Kirby will do.

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

I'm there.

Yeah. I played a metric fuckton of Dreamland when I was growing up, so I think I need to buy it.

 

[Rlan]

And it's not even this version:

Yeesh. Pac Man CE is on that Galaga collection. Fuck, Pac-Man should just be one of those 3DS remakes ffs.

 

[G0523]

So Nintendo has officially given up on WiiWare demos? Such a disappointment.

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

Just to be clear, FFIII is the game released *as* FFIII on the SNES.

 

[DDayton]

WiiWare
Big Town Shoot Out

I just tried to look this up -- it appears to be a light gun shooter, but what's odd is that it appears that PDP is making a set of gun shells for the Wii Remote and packing a download code for this game with the set. At least, that appears to have been the original plan.

[Freezie KO]

Definitely jumping in for Kirby's Dream Land since I can't find my original cart. And I'll finally take the plunge on Mario Land and DK, even though I own the carts for those.

 

[kunonabi]

Anybody else find it hilarious that we finally get FFIII the same time we get denied The Last Story?

 

[zurgdawg]

US Newsletter is up!

[dallow_bg]

Yes.

 

[MasterShotgun]

So the real news this week is SNES FFIII. Awesome.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

I've also officially given up on WiiWare. Just give me La Mulana and I'm done.

Weird though that Nintendo never bothered to bring over Line Attack Heroes or the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon trinity.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

Kirby's such a short game, but it's got charm and nostalgia going for it, so I'll likely end up buying it.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

So if the US is getting Kirby, which we got in Europe last week, I'm crossing my fingers we get Gargoyle's Quest today. Love that game.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Shorter than Mario Land?

 

[Lijik]

Shorter than Mario Land?

On its own about the same or shorter.
But the fairly different hard mode you unlock doubles the length

 

[Marvie_3]

FF3! Yes!

 

[zigg]

Yeah. I played a metric fuckton of Dreamland when I was growing up, so I think I need to buy it.

I actually played it for the first time ever last year and I loved it. Great game.

 

[RurouniZel]

Will download as soon as I get home.

 

[Notorious_Roy]

No Final Fantasy in Euroland

 

[Mafro]

No Final Fantasy in Euroland

Didn't it come out a few months ago in EU?

 

[kanugo]

This week's releases have been revealed, although the newsletter won't be out for a few hours.

3DS Virtual Console
Kirby's Dream Land

This will be mine. Also, any more game from eshop that's good?

 

[zigg]

Lots of DSiWare, if you haven't got into that yet. I'm missing some I'm sure but what's on my mind right now includes Aura-Aura Climber, BOXLIFE, Dark Void Zero, Picdun, and PiCTOBiTS.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

So if the US is getting Kirby, which we got in Europe last week, I'm crossing my fingers we get Gargoyle's Quest today. Love that game.

Europe got Kirby this week too. Last week they had Double Dragon and Radar Mission.

 

[Hot Coldman]

And it's not even this version:

Yeesh. Pac Man CE is on that Galaga collection. Fuck, Pac-Man should just be one of those 3DS remakes ffs.

That Pac-Man game is brilliant. I love Pac-Panic. I still remember getting that with my GBC for my birthday years ago.

 

[GeekyDad]

BTW, Moto eXtreme actually looks pretty fun. I've never heard of it, but it looks like a dirty Elasto Mania rip off (which is a good thing!).

Trials HD?

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

Trials HD?

I haven't played ME yet, but the videos make it seem much more like Elasto Mania than Trials has ever been.

 

[miksar]

Just downloaded Kirby, excited to try it now.

And what a tease Konami, finally adding a new 3D trailer to EUshop and not showing the actual gameplay (PES 3D).

 

[shawnlreed]

Japan is getting Gargoyle's Quest (400 points) and Golf (300) this week and Pac-Man (300) next week.
I'd totally buy Gargoyle's Quest and Pac-Man.

I will stop everything and replay Gargoyle's Quest the moment it comes out.
Such an amazing game.

 

[Roto13]

No Final Fantasy in Euroland

Shut up. You bitches got it ages ago and I've been sitting here waiting for it since then. >_>

 

[Somnid]

Kirby and FF6 for me. God my backlog has become insane this month and I'm rarely a backlog gamer.

 

[OnPoint]

I can't believe how poorly Nintendo is handling the eShop and their updates. Not even just in game quality (we could be getting the same games as everyone else) but in terms of how they're informing us.

I thought this whole move to Thursdays thing was supposed to better educate us throughout the week, but it's done the exact opposite. In fact, it's worse than the old Monday press releases were, leaving information out. I don't get it.

 

[donny2112]

Any idea about Hearts Spades Euchre? I like 2 of those 3, so if the AI is robust, it may be worth $5.

It's odd, they have reduced the information and any actual new information is sparse.

The DSiware releases are always usually posted 1-2 weeks in advanced on the below site, so that reduces actual news in the newsletter again.

[TheExodu5]

Finally, an accessible way to play the best version of the game.

 

[cartman414]

Nice update.

Now about La-Mulana...

 

[OnPoint]

Nice update.

Now about La-Mulana...

You'd think Nintendo would be doing something to hype the game up, right?

:jakncoke

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Ah that's right. Got the dates mixed up.
