I just bitched about it, but I doubt this is final. We have to see stuff like Kirby's DL2, Dr. Mario, SMB2 JP and Ice Climber also I think. I mean, come on, NOA can't be that bad? Can they?
Nintendo treats their Virtual Console service horribly bad. They milk a few releases and charge premium prices. The better business model would be more of an ITUNES Mp3 approach, release tons of games, and price them more accordingly. People will end up building their collection. Take the opportunity to localize classics NES/SNES/N64/GCN games and charge a little bit more.

I sorta doubt KDL2 is coming, at least anytime soon what with it being on that Kirby anniversary disc. But yeah you're probably right, you'd think even if they're not gonna be adding anymore GameBoy games the rest of the year aside from Wario they'd still release a few other NES games we already own on the Wii anyway

I'm guessing unless Konami surprises us the eShop Gradius game is the NES port?
Anyways yeah, sparse lineup. They must be stretched really thin right now to push LM back that far and still no AC.

I wonder if it's an eShop port of Gradius Rebirth or a VC release of Gradius: Interstellar Assault. (I think that's what it's called.)

Sad that Luigi's Mansion is delayed,but there are still many games I want, so I will still have plenty to play.

Interstellar Assault is the 2nd GB Gradius. The first one was called Nemesis.
Rebirth line needs to happen on 3DS imo. Port the 3 WiiWare games (Gradius, Contra, Castlevania) and then continue with more classic revivals (Salamander, Parodius, Goemon, etc). Hell, even some Hudson stuff would be good too, not like M2 is up yo much else these days.

Doubt it's Rebirth, Interstellar Assault makes sense (both are great games btw)

Don't open the wound! It was just finally healing! >>;;
Not just Paper Mario.
Layton ( especially in Europe).
NSMB2 worldwide.
Plus, MK7 and Super Mario 3D Land selling again.
At least, it seems that, if they pick up momentum this Holiday, they won't let it decrease at the beginning of next year. Animal Crossing + Luigi+ Fire Emblem is a fantastic way to begin.
Stop talking about MH3G. Tomorrow there's the Capcom Gamescom Conference, and I want to avoid following it, for not being disappointed when I'll discover the surprised isn't MH3G.
Please
You will say "wow"
BTW, isn't Picross coming this year to PAL territories?
Wait wut? Will it really be 2D with 3D? Or is it just optimized for 3DS? And what about the 'paper' mode on the retail release?

Style Savvy: Trendsetters - unexpected surprise
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask - sooner than I expected
Paper Mario: Sticker Star - I figured this would have been delayed instead of LM
Disney Epic Mickey
Code of Princess
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
Harvest Moon
I still need to pick up Mario Tennis, Theatrhythm, Rhythm Thief, and NSMB2 so this list should certainly last me the year especially with the Wii U dropping.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
That's a pretty shitty lineup.

Not sure why I assumed Castlevania was coming out this year, but apparently that was a stupid assumption. Man, what a bad year.

Line-up is not that bad. I can understand Luigi being pushed back; much of the emphasis on buying Nintendo product this fall will be on Wii U, they wouldn't want to release every major first party title at once on 3DS.
Much of it would be fixed if Monster Hunter would actually be released though. That is the gaping hole in the US 3DS line up.
Problem is, ideally, MH3G really, REALLY, really, needs online play in the US for it to make a big impact on the 3DS right now. While there's not much faith in Capcom, if it's delay has been to add some features like that for this market, it's understandable.
MH3G w/ full online play on 3DS could be huge.
Edit: did a lot of people not see it was a partial list? Some stuff like Castlevania appear to not be listed.

No Fire Emblem? Well, Paper Mario is good enough for me.

Finally Paper Mario.
Additionally, what's the reasoning behind VC releases being staggered the way that they are?

Despite the delays, for my money 3DS still has the best lineup of any platform this year by far.
My to-buys:
- NSMB2
- Paper Mario
- Prof. Layton 5
- Epic Mickey Power of Illusion
- Pokemon Black 2
- Harvest Moon: A New Beginning
- Fluidity
- Zero Escape *(might get this on Vita)
Castlevania and Luigi's Mansion would've been nice, but I'll live without those two. Saves me some money, anyhoo.
Might get Freakyforms Deluxe as well, undecided. EDIT: Also Code of Princess

Yeah, because Paper Mario, NSMB2 and Layton are comparable.
The fact is that we don't know if Castlevania has been really delayed. It's still Fall 2012, as stated by the E3 Press Release.

What I was thinking. The only other games besides LM I was looking forward to.
Yeah, I haven't completely written it off to 2013 yet. But even if it were delayed, it wouldn't be so bad.

Don't. The original game, while good, was barely worth the 6 they charged, so sure as hell it isn't worth the 30 bucks they'll most likely charge for just more parts and an extra game mode.

- Fire Emblem Awakening
- Castlevania: Mirror of Fate
- Bravely Default Flying Fairy
- EX Troopers
- Fire Emblem Awakening

I'm sad for the Luigi's Mansion delay but I guess Nintendo wants to save it, Animal Crossing, and Fire Emblem for early 2013.

No, don't troll me, please. Not you, Nibel. Not you ._.
I've heard reasonably good things from across the pond, where I believe it's already out, but if I do get it, it'd probably have to be after a significant discount anyway.

I'm not sure what I'll get, but probably ...
- NSMB 2
- Paper Mario Sticker Star
- Pokemon Black 2
I don't know about the following, but I'll probably buy one or two and get the rest later on. With the Wii U coming out, I have to spend wisely lol:
- Professor Layton and The Mask of Miracle
- Zero Escape: Virtues Last Reward
- Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion
I have Fluidity on the Wii, but I haven't played much of it - I got it from Club Nintendo. Should I slap myself and start playing it? lol.

Eh i suppose objectively you could bitch about the lineup itself but complaining you don't have anything to play now is ridiculous unless all you own is a 3DS!
Between the back catalogues of the DS itself and all other handhelds and consoles there are enough AAA games and hidden gems to last me at LEAST 5 fucking lifetimes, not even kidding here!
