Nintendo Download: 28th August (North America)

Megaman X3! I suggest everyone to get it!

What an awesome week!

Has anybody played The Fall? Looks very interesting to say the least. I'm going to start a topic for it now!

Big Capcom sale... I wonder what the prices are?

X3 in Europe please!

Dang, I've been waiting SO long for Mega Man X3. Can't wait to finally download it when I get home. I probably will never use the X Collection version again!

Great week. I'd also like to check out Thorium Wars, The Fall, and Azure Striker, but I'll probably have to limit that a little for my wallet's sake.

Public service announcement: Wait for the review of X3.

Excellent week!

Still, no 3DS Virtual Console update?! I'm beginning to think we'll never get "Bubble Bobble."

@Mr_Trill281 But the Cowboys defense tho.....

@ThomasBW84 thanks for the good work Thomas. We know they would be listed if you had the info.

@Spoony_Tech I'm waiting for the review. Miiverse says that there are a good number of bugs though.

@shigulicious Yeah I just got done looking at that and also on Metacritic as well at the PC reviews. Mixed reviews but as always some really liked it. The reviews said opening act though so I'm wondering if that's also the case here or is it the full game.

Wow, great week for the Americas.

There are so many good to great titles that came out today on both WiiU and 3DS, plus stuff on sale from Capcom that is quality. If you are picking Nothing for Me this Week, I sure hope its because you are strapped for cash.

I'm getting mega man x3 and the Mario kart 8 dlc for sure. Might grab street fighter alpha 2 and street fighter 4 3d if the discounts are good.

Azure Striker Gunvolt AND MegaMan X3 ? ALL OF MY HATE !!!
I want that too >.<

I might buy The Fall. Waiting on the review.

@Spoony_Tech I heard it was a 3 part story. So 3 chapters. Maybe wait for a sale on the "complete" game? I don't know why I keep buying up games with a backlog that could last me a lifetime.

Gunvolt and Steamworld for me. I voted Steamworld because I figured it would get less love than Gunvolt and X3. X3 is kinda weak, by the way. Just a little heads-up if you've never played it and are assuming that it's as good as the first two.

I may check out Steamworld Dig since I held off on 3DS. Still waiting on those N64 Virtual Console games, Nintendo. I think we have pretty well mined the NES catalog at this point. When you're having to dredge up unwanted junk like DK Jr. Math, it's time to move on.

@Mr_Trill281 not with our D

Well I downloaded the fall yesterday so The Fall is first.

@shigulicious Lol, same here. I've toned it down this year as last year it was one or 2 games a month. I'm starting to get through some of that backlog though but haven't even touched most of the games I got last year.
By then maybe they will patch any bugs and the complete version will be worth it.
Also thanks for that info

might pick up Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara.

Heh, all an all. A pretty sweet week.

If it were cross-buy, even only with a discount, I'd gladly double dip on Steamworld Dig, I loved that game, but this is really getting old. NoA needs to pull it's head out of it's proverbial ... you know.
I'm gonna stick with Dual Destinies, maybe MH3Uon WiiU. Any word on Azure yet, it any good?

Which Street Fighter to get hmm

I've never been interested in the Monster Hunter series, but this sale might give me the push I need to dive in. Which version is better?

I know this is an amazing week, and I kinda feel bad for complaining, but wasn't Tappingo 2 hitting today?

Getting Gunvolt, and I may get a second copy of SSFIV if the price is good. Too bad I lack an HD, or I would have gotten that MH discount.

@XCWarrior Well, there really is nothing for me this week. I don't have a Wii U, so all the stuff on that is out, I already own Super Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil Revelations, I can skip Monster Hunter 3 since 4 will be coming soon, I'm not going to spend $29.99 on something like Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and of course, the 3Ds once again gets nothing on the Virtual Console not even a sale for Capcom's games that are on the service.

So honestly, there is nothing for my 2DS this week. Oh well, I can save my money for Smash then.

I hear Azure Striker Gunvolt is an excellent game. Looks like I'll have to give it a try!

Youu lucky people in the U.S., X3 & Azure Striker.... Hopefully we won't have to wait long for those 2 to make it to the Euro/UK shop

Depending on the discounts, I might get Dual Destinies and/or MH3U on the Wii U. If the sales are good enough, I might get an SNES Street Fighter and/or Dungeons and Dragons, but they'd have to be pretty great discounts to get all 4 games.

What in the world is going on...we haven't had the best updates as of lately and now they throw a curve ball and slam us with stuff oh god my wallet is going to kill me. I already got all the mario kart dlc but im definitely getting x3, gunvolt, finally gonna try zen pinball and get the walking dead table and thank you capcom for the sale I been waiting for phoenix wright to go on sale and I was just about to buy alpha 2 yesterday thank god I waited. Thanks Nintendo for this outstanding update.

Capcom will have my money for RE:R and Duck Tales when I get a decent HDD.

Ow my wallet!

X3 is the only thing for me.

Resident Evil: Revelations I might get if its at least half-off. But Azure Gunvolt is a MUST!

i cant be the only one who likes dk jr math

Arceus Dam, this is a good week. I know I'll be downloading 5 of these paid games very soon, 6 if Wii U's RE: Revelations is a good discount price.

I been putting off on buying PW:AA Dual Destinies until I play the first 4 again to refresh my memory, but I guess now I buy it now and play it later.

@sinalefa yeah it was supposed to come out this week but unfortunately got pushed back till next week
http://nintendoeverything.com/tappingo-2-delay-explained-will-feature-indie-puzzles/

It's been a long time, nearly four years...and the crossover finally comes out tomorrow. It was announced before I started college and now I'm a senior, yet no less excited for it. COME ON LAYTON AND WRIGHT!!!

Also, Azure Striker is likely going to be a day-one and I'll look at the discounts as well. Super Acorns 3D is pretty good for anyone who's wondering.

@blaze8937

I just saw the update on that on NL. Thanks. Hugo Smits seems pleased with the delay, and it is just a week anyway.

X3. Totally skipping Steamworld because I have it on the 3DS and NA refuses to offer a discount.

What a week! Gunvolt and Professor Layton for me.

@AdmiralThrawn I would but I already have it on my SNES, PS2 and GCN, rather get Gunvolt

I'm getting Mega Man X3 and the free MK8 DLC and Azure Striker Gunvolt when it comes out tomorrow.

The Fall is pretty awesome — old school adventure mixed in with some action gameplay, creepy atmosphere, and intriguing setting. The AI voice acting is great and surprisingly full of character, and the caretaker drone is a psycho (I am sure of it).

I'll be getting some discounted Capcom goodness! Hopefully the prices will come out soon

@Mr_Trill281 Can't wait for the season to start next week. Hopefully we see some more players show some greatness tonight against Denver. Oh and you should check out X3.

when is the eshop updated? I just checked the Capcom titles and the prices remain the same as yesterday.

Update the news and please put GoGo Kokopolo will be quit from dsiware services this 31th august.

Just got my mk8 dlc pre order in and realised I get a £5 code from the premium rewards. Bonus!! Let's hope the capcom sale comes to Europe eh!

I might pick up one or two of Capcom's discounted titles...

Good suggestion right here.

Good week, but still no 3DS VC. C'mon Nintendo, give us Devil World already so we can have all of EU's titles!

No Steel Empire drop..I'm patient

Gunvolt is going to be so awesome so glad they threw in Mighty Gunvolt for free as well, that makes the purchase even better!

@WiiULoveSquid It just came out. I wouldn't expect a price cut/sale for at least 3 to 4 months.

Well that's surprising. Not a bad week for once.

I voted for Soccer 3d because it's only $2. Even though it didn't get a great review on here it would be a great addition to my 3ds sports folder. Definitely may get Resident Evil :R as I passed on it a few months ago when it went on sale.

I already picked up the Mario Kart 8 DLC, so i'll just grab Super street Fighter 2. This might be the first time i've seen the "Nothing for me this week" category lower than another category in a long while.

Man, so jealous of you guys now...
The Fall and Gunvolt seem really good, AND you already got Shovel Knight...
come on NoE, hurry!

The shop is not updating Zen Pinball. I will not be happy if this skips us this week!!

Nothing about it on the home page either.

There is no steamworld discount for U,and I have the previous version. Dissapointing...

I may buy a capcom sale priced item or two. How are peoples experience with street fighter for 3ds?

MMX3, at last!
Woooooooooooooo!

Azure Striker Gunvolt with the Mighty Gunvolt bonus.

This is the sale I was waiting to get Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate 😊

Did Azure Striker Gunvolt and Professor Layton vs. Phoenx Wright really have to come out on the same day?! 2manygaemz5me

Also, I will be preordering the MK8 dlc..

Oh, awesome. I'll grab Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara at a discount.

@TeeJay nope. Professor Layton comes out tomorrow!!

As does Azure Striker Gunvolt...

@ThomasBW84 Thanks again Thomas!

I've been waiting for MH3U to drop in price on the wii u. I've gotten back into the 3ds version and would like to start hunting online. $15 I dont think I can pass this deal up.

Nothing for me but all the Capcom sales are pretty much a steal, awesome prices for good games, but I wonder why the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is cheaper on Wii U then it is on the 3DS...but I remember when the 3DS version was on sale like last year, started playing it for the first time since I got it on sale just to see it on sale again!

Super Week!

Might get super street fighter iv. It is one of the games I'm missing and I miss it lol. I think I might have to cancel the PL vs AA preorder because I'm having trouble with my credit card. I tried to buy a gift card online through Best Buy Canada's website and they couldn't process my request apparently so I have extra money now.

If I could purchase M+ games on the e-Shop, I'd be all over that Mercanaries deal.

@BearHunger No, just get it. MMX3 is a great game that gets pointless hate.

Besides, NL will probably give it a 2/10 and recommend the PSX version because.

X3, gunvolt, the kart dlc... good week

Why can't I select more than one thing? I'm certainly buying more than one thing.

@ThomasBW84 Heard from Barbie from Zen and she is saying should be up tomorrow. We shall see.

Jot this week down... this is one of the best and most well-rounded weeks I have seen in a long time. I see things I've already purchased, moving up my list, gonna buy later, took notice of, etc. The only disappointing thing is, I still haven't played PW:AA:DD which I bought at full price a month ago, and NOW it's discounted! Doh! >_<

Whats the best version of street fighter 2 on here?

@WaLzGi What @CanisWolfred said.

@Spoony_Tech

Actually, I don't think the wait will be that long, because if the number of Eshop reviews are anything to go by, it's not moving too many copies, the last I checked, it had 18 reviews. I'm kind of shocked they made it so expensive, I mean, there are plenty of good side-scrolling shooters on the eShop for cheaper, I mean, honestly, $30.00?!

I can buy a download of Mario Kart 7 for that price!

YESSSSSSSSS

@Spoony_Tech I'm doing the exact same thing. I've really toned it down from last year. I'm really looking at only 2 games in the next 6 months. Fantasy Life and Monster Hunter. I was planning to get Persona Q but actually may pass on that since I haven't even beat the Etrian Odyssey games. There just never seems to be enough time after your playing something your concentrating on. I may be passing on some very good games to concentrate on a couple big hitters. Then if Square will announce Dragon Quest X on 3DS you can catch up with me there

@WinterWarm I sure hope you're right but I still don't see it happening for at least another month or two.

Great week! But I may not get anything. I just have to much of a backlog.

@Windy I'm really upset with Persona Q's price more then anything. I'll wait till next year and a price drop. Fantasy Life gets all my attention now and there's multiplayer co-op so I'll see you there.

@WinterWarm yep that was absolutely crazy. I don't even think 19.99 would be low enough on that. I don't see it seriously selling heavy until its around 14.99. 19.99 will move some sales though. I'm just wondering how much longer they are going to leave it at 29.99. I would imagine it hasn't sold 50 units.

@Spoony_Tech can't wait to play Fantasy Life!

@Windy It does look good but I'm looking for more like 10$ tbh. Crazy to think it was going to sell at that price. Put it at 5.99 and it sell 50k in a week lol. I just don't understand these pricing issues.

Capcom discounts are nice to see, $10 for the Resident Evil's. Still waiting for other gems to surface, but this should do for now.

So bummed when I got home and realized that Gunvolt doesn't release til tomorrow. I want it NOW.

Just the free Mario Kart 8 Dlc for me this week, Nintendo doesn't really have that great of sales on the eshop for any of there or 3rd party games on sales. I will stick to Amazon for Nintendo games. Also just a few days ago on the Psn Flash sale I could have purchased Resident Evil Revelations for only $9.99 instead of Nintendo's so called sale price of $19.99 really why should I even bother with a digital download of it, when the disc version is only $24 on amazon? Plus I am already out of space on my Wii U console don't really know what nintendo was thinking when they came out with only a 8gb and 32gb console and expect us to actually download all of our games from the eshop.

Am I missing something? Gunvolt isn't in the eshop.

Edit: So apparently, being literate helps. 8/29/14. My bad. Carry on.

It is, along with a giant bannner saying it comes out tomorrow.

I think I am finally going to pull the trigger on these 3 Wii U games- Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, DuckTales: Remastered and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

Monster Hunter and Gunvolt for sure. Also the Mario Kart DLC.

@mowerdude Nintendo was thinking that they could reduce the total price of the console by making extra space optional.

I was initially excited for Gunvolt, but I watched some gameplay of it and the level design and combat seem fairly repetitive. Barring high review scores, I'll probably pick this up when it goes on sale.

Speaking of sales, that Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies price cut is... WOW. Huge. I'll definitely be picking it up ASAP at that price.

Also LOVE the low price of all versions of PLvPW:AA. I'm definitely excited about it, and hopefully more people will buy it at a $30 price point. What's the block size for the U.S. release? I know the European digital version is significantly larger than the original Japanese digital release.

I'm trying to only buy games that go on sale, though, aside from a few key releases (Smash, Fantasy Life, SK:SV, etc.). I have a backlog that is larger than I am comfortable with.

First world problems, eh? "I can't keep up with all of these games I own!"

I actually just traded away my Monster Hunter to Game Stop (32 bucks, worth it especially since I only paid 20 for it). Kinda glad this sale only started today, might have considered buying it off the eShop and doing a data transfer first.

Need a break from it though. I'm not even very into it but I liked playing with friends when we actually bothered. No regrets. RIP, What.

All four SNES Street Fighters, Ace Attorney: Dual Destines, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii U) and probably Resident Evil Revelations (3DS). My poor wallet :/... for once in a loooooooooong time! xD

@denpa-ben, But by the time you purchase a Exteranl Hard drive that they recommended you could have purchased either a PS4 or Xbox one cheaper instead with the hard drive inside the console.

Plus I am having this problem with my wii u console since the 5.0 update and nintendo act's like there isn't a problem with the Wii U console when me and others are having the very same problem and I am not going to sent in my console and have to pay to get it fixed when it wasn't even my fault to start with.
.
I've been having this issue since the launch of 5.0 and was curious if anyone else was having the same problem.

After the release of 5.0 I noticed when I would turn on my system in anyway the Gamepad would read "Cannot connect to Wii U. Turn off Gamepad power and move closer to console then turn power back on" (Most of the time it will do this however sometimes it will power up properly). I've tried this many times. I've tried it without the external hard drive plugged into the console, I've tried it when the system wasn't near anything at all, just sitting in the middle of the room away from anything that could interfere with the connection. If I hold the power button the the system for 4 seconds to shut it down it will start up and play just fine. Also it will only happen for the first tie I boot up the console that day. each time after that it will start up no problems at all.

I'm thinking this has everything to do with the 5.0 patch because nothing like this had ever happened like this before the patch was launched.

nothing for me, however being that i already got dungeons and dragons for regular price when it came out, this new price is steal, i say yall need to go for it.

@Windy Yeah, it's crazy, who decided, "Eh, $30.00 is reasonable, right?"

@Spoony_Tech Well, I personally just can't believe the devs would be so naïve as to think a lot of people are going to buy it at that price, sooner later they'll lower it, but I think it'll be sooner.

I'll get Mega Man X3 as soon as I possibly can. I'm broke at the moment because I started school this past week but when I can, I'll get it.

@WinterWarm
I think the publisher was perhaps just expecting to prey on early adopters. Milk the people who can't wait for $30, and then lower the price later on for everybody else. I doubt a price cut will be too far in the game's future. I can't imagine it's moving too many digital copies at this point given that they have effectively priced themselves out of the market.

$15 is as high as I will go. I'm not paying more for a remastered Sega Genesis schmup than I am for Kokuga.

@mowerdude It's opposite for me; when I first got my Wii U I was having that problem but as updates have been rolled out it's happened a lot less frequently.

What a great week and those resident evil discounts for both platforms are great deals.But that will have to wait cause i'm buying The Fall and pre ordering that mario kart 8 DLC.

Are there seriously enough people consistently buying Donkey Kong Jr Math that they have to keep spending time releasing it on every console evar? It cannot be making them that much money...

I think I'll bite on RE: Mercanaries 3D, then I'll buy Steamworld Dig and wait for a review on The Fall.

Dang....X3 & Azure Striker Gunvolt on the same week?? Couldn't they spared that out?? Aww it doesn't matter. FINALLY Mega Man X3 is out on the VC!!!! ABOUT TIME!!!!!!! This will be my Saturday night game! Sweet!!!! Sorry Mario Kart 8! XD

My plan was to get Azure Striker Gunvolt for sure, but now Phoenix Wright is on sale. Oh my, good-bye money T_T

Child of Light is currently on sale on the PSN. Child of Light is currently on sale in the European eShop. Child of Light is NOT on sale in the American eShop.

I guess I’m getting Child of Light on my PS3. They’re less stingy with sales there.

Actually I bought many of those Capcom games in PSN sales already.

@ZachBeacon

Hate to tell you this, but Nintendo doesn't determine when third-party games go on sale. The publisher does. The reason they're probably putting it on sale for the other platforms is because sales have dropped off on those platforms.

Fair enough. NoA never puts its first party games on sale either though.

@mowerdude You have no reason to be complaining about hard drive space, trust me on this. I own a Wii U, PS4, X1, Vita and 3DS.

The PS4 and X1 have mandatory installs, even for physical discs, and with games averaging 40+ GB due to lack of any effort to properly compress, I'm left with just 125 GB on my PS4 right now. Had it less than a year, own 3 indie digital games and 7 physical games. Yet three quarters of my hard drive space is gone. Explain that to me.

And Vita? Not even 1 GB included with the original model. Of course I bought a 32 GB, for $100. Fantastic, right?

When it comes to Nintendo, the 3DS takes SD cards which are a dime a dozen. The Wii U I've had for 2 years. I own 37 physical games, most with update file installations and/or DLC, and 79 digital indie/VC games. And I STILL have 7 GB left of hard drive space. Over five times as many retail games and over 25 times as many digital games as my PS4, yet I have the same 25% percentage of hard drive space left. AND the ability to expand via external hard drive.

People just don't understand how good they have it this gen with Wii U. Sure, last gen might've been a different story, and PS3 was phenomenal for space, as it was for free online. But last gen is over. When it comes to value of your hard drive space, no other console this gen can touch the Wii U.

Just sayin, you're complaining about the one system that outclasses all other eighth gen consoles as far as storage space goes. That little 32 GB on Wii U runs laps around the 500 GB of rival consoles. Don't be deceived. Don't let the bigger number fool you.

@Caryslan Well the last Ace Attorney game is on sale. So if you don't want to pay full price for the new old, old one is on sale. But I'm sure its not on sale enough or something like that. Other option is get a WiiU... that's where you want to play Smash in the end.

@JaxonH That's an amazing post right there. Really wish someone would do an article on that!

@JaxonH I agree. I got an old laptop HD and a HD case, with 160 GB and I've been downloading MANY games. Most Wii U games are less than 10GB. Most Nintendo games are less than 3GB. It's really insane.

@WiiULoveSquid I'm waiting for a Steel Empire drop too. Hang in there...

Looks like I'll finally be getting RE Revelations (not sure which system yet)...

Here's hoping the European release of Azure Striker Gunvolt isn't that far away.
I bet Europe will have none of that Capcom sale, Atlus and Capcom just don't do sales in Europe like they constantly do in North America.

Outstanding week.

Azure, Mario Kart 8 DLC and Duck Tales Remastered for me. I might even snag one of the Street Fighter games too. The Fall looks really cool as well.

Why do I have to be a responsible adult and pay bills? Anyway I'm snagging a 50 dollar eshop card next payday and I'm going to pick a bunch of these up. Starting with Steamworld Dig!

That Monster Hunter discount, anyone who has been interested in buying MH3U really should now as you can't go wrong with 15(19) dollars.

@Ralizah

Yeah, the publisher is Teyon. they're not exactly the best company when it comes to the eShop.

I've never spent more than $9.99 on a eShop game, but Azure Striker Gunvolt'll change that.

Still, $30.00 is absolutely insane.

@Spoony_Tech yeah they put that at 9.99 and I bet they sell at least 2k in no time flat. But who knows they may let it Rot there. There are a bunch of old DSi games they should be putting on sale but they don't. They should be having a DSi Clearance and permanent discounts.

Wow, fantastic week.
Good for you guys in NA.

Finally!!! Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright.... the sad thing is that that's one of two games that sold me on the 3DS (the other being KH3D) but after all this wait the excitement has kinda waned... still buying and downloading right away thought, just to help ensure the localization of future AA installments

Gunvolt and Alpha 2, methinks.

Really great week... will probably try find retail for Prof Layton x Phoenix. Downloading Azure as I type this out.

Zen Pinball 2 update is now live in the US. It updated a bit
late today, but I checked and Walking Dead, Deadpool, Dr. Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy are now available.

They keep lowering the price on monster hunter. Why not just make it permanent?
