Yep. I don't think it's DLC either. It's more like what happened to the WiiWare version of Cave Story.

Here's hoping for an eventual WiiWare release. I know I will buy it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

This game is not truly over until you've found all the Rainbow Drops. Only then you can fight the true final boss and watch the real ending.

Kirby's Block Ball is a great little game. Don't dismiss it as "just another breakout clone", because there's a lot more to it hidden under the surface than what meets the eye.

I miss the blue bomber's heyday.

I hope this situation gets resolved somehow and the game sees release on this side of the world.

I hope somebody takes the offer. I really want to play this game on the Wii. It would be the perfect swan song for the WiiWare service.

@48 - Tsuchinoko:
Besides the ones you mentioned, there's Mole Mania (criminally underrated first party game - Miyamoto himself was involved with it), Mega Man II through V (especially the fifth one), Kirby's Star Stacker (a fun puzzler), Adventure Island II (a port of AI3 on the NES), Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble, Super Mario Bros. DeLuxe (has several extras), Ninja Gaiden, Wendy Every Witch Way (by the Shantae guys), etc.

I see the Game Boy VC continues to be a no-show. I wonder what was up with all those people that kept saying Kirby's Block Ball would be released today?
Oh well. Monster World IV makes up for it, I guess.

Great video. Saved.

Oh, good! Wonder Boy 4 AND Kirby's Block Ball in a single week? Is this a dream? Am I dreaming? I'm dreaming, right?
Well, this is a good start. It should help compensate for the La-Mulana fiasco.

Nice to see VC Arcade back.
Now, about those Game Boy games... how long was it since the last one came out? Over a month, right?
(...sigh...)

This day this happens is the day Nintendo dies.

Still waiting for those Game Boy games the rest of the world already has.

Yes. This game is criminally underappreciated.

This is, in my opinion, the biggest piece of news Nintendo dropped yesterday night (yep, even bigger than NSMB2, which will probably not be breaking any new grounds). I've been waiting for folders on the 3DS since a long time ago. Can't wait to organize my ridiculously cluttered menu screen.

Maybe they failed lotcheck over and over, for 9 months? If so, that's more of their fault, not Nintendo's.
Anyway, I'm guessing MDK2 on WiiWare failed to sell 6000 units, so in the end they never got paid for it. Ouch.

Checked the first few levels on YouTube. Looks like my kind of game. Already looking forward to it.

So, only two games total? And none of them on the Wii? And the Virtual Console continues to be MIA? What the hell is Nintendo thinking?

Week after week, you continue to disappoint me, Nintendo... (sigh)

Nothing for me here, as usual.
Alas, another week, another disappointing Thursday. It's becoming a tradition.
Nintendo sure is taking their sweet time bringing Wario Land, Kirby 2, Block Ball, etc over here... (sigh)

Sigh. Nothing for me this week...
(mumbles something about Mega Man X2, Adventure Island 2, La-Mulana, Wario Land...)

Another issue for Nintendo would be how similar to Zelda 1 it looks.
...or not, considering both Neutopia games made it to the Wii's VC.

I just want to know how this game differentiates from a generic platformer. All the trailers I've seen so far show what seems to be fairly generic gameplay. Yes, I know there are layers, but the core of the experience still looks like it's jumping here and there and collecting gems--you know, nothing out of the ordinary.

Downloaded!
Also, is it just me or Nintendo loosened their size limits? The game is well over 1000 blocks big! This is the largest downloadable game I've seen so far.

Heh. Spot spot confirmed for best spot!

"In fact, the 3DS twice as many units as every other console in the top 10 combined."
He accidentally the verb.

Not a bad line-up at all!
I would have liked to see Superstar Saga, Drill Dozer and Metroid Zero Mission in there somewhere too, but I can't complain, really. I'm also very glad Minish Cap made the cut!

There's also Ikachan, coming some time next year.

Way to go, Pushmo!

Pushmo is pretty fun! Also, I noticed the little red guy you control is designed after a sumo wrestler. Now that's quirky!

Looks interesting. I wonder if it will come to the US too

Yes! This pleases me.

I vote for giving voices to everyone but Link.

I'm digging these new backgrounds. It feels like they gave the game the "Super Mario All Stars" treatment.

Oh, how I want to believe you, Reggie...
Just put the few remaining Mega Man games on the service and all will be forgiven.

Adventure Island for me!

Yep. I'm downloading it ASAP.

This is game is awesome, and one of my childhood favorites. Can't wait to relive it!

I hope they can get the game on the 3DSVC soon. I plan to get it on day one.

5? WTF? I mean, seriously??
...
DSiWare Rayman plays perfectly fine for me. This game is at least an 8/10, not less. Never less.

Baaah.
Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing for me this week... -_-;

So, should I copy the message and paste it into a new Tweet of my own or should I just re-tweet the message that's already there in the Nintendo Life Twitter page? (I did the latter, BTW)

GB Adventure Island, yay!!
This game is actually a very good port of Adventure Island 2 on the NES (which still is nowhere to be seen in the US). Here's hoping for the eventual release of GB AI2 (which is itself a faithful port of NES AI3, btw).

"...learned a bitter lesson with the launch of the 3DS..."
Yep. 3D alone won't sell a system.

Wow, I feel sorry for European fans

I think there is at least one new area called "Wind Fortress"

I noticed one mistake in the article: Resident Evil 2 for N64 wasn't 512 MB big, but 512 Mb big (as in megabits, as opposed to megabytes). There's a difference, as 1 MB = 8 Mb.

This is for people who don't yet own a Wii and don't care about GameCube games. Why is this so hard to understand?
