Topic: Upcoming 3DS Downloads

Apparently VVVVVV is coming to Australia eShop this week

Making VVVVVV the first game Nicalis has released for the Australian eShop! Kudos to Nicalis!

It'll cost $12 if it follows normal pricing trends :/ _{I have half a mind to skip it just because I'll be so late to the party}

Well that certainly wouldn't help convince Nicalis release future games in Australia.

Upcoming list for NA (retail downloads not included):

Thursday October 4

• Cave Story $9.99
• Samurai G $1.99

Sunday October 7

• Pokémon Dream Radar $TBD (odd date. I'm assuming it's the day B2/W2 release)

Thursday October 11

• Nurikabe by Nikoli $4.99
• Crazy Kangaroo $3.99

Thursday October 18

• Sparkle Snapshots 3D $TBD

Thursday November 8

• Pokédex 3D Pro $TBD

I expect this list to grow as dates near. We've been getting 2-3 releases per week for a little over a month, so I find it hard to believe there'll only be one release on Oct 18 & Nov 8, and nothing on Oct 25 & Nov 1 (we've never had a week with nothing before, after all).

Hopefully more games are added to the schedule, because right now Cave Story is the only one I'll be downloading (never played it before).

Actually that's where you're wrong, Nicalis posted back about 2 months ago on Twitter that Cave Story+ was coming out in Australia, plus 1001 spikes as well I believe, I'm not too sure on NightSky though. I think we'll definitely get CS+ because they owe it PAL to release this game on a handheld platform (other than the remake) and it was officially announced anyways.

I'd definitely buy Cave Story+ for the eshop. They did release Cave Story 3D through JBhifi but I didn't want a physical copy of the game and was waiting until they released the digital version.

I wonder if we'll get NightSky before the holidays, or if they'll change their mind and decide to make it a Wii U game instead after the Wii U comes out, lol.

Well I hope I actually get Nightsky at all in Australia!

Next week in NA we get:
3DS eshop:
Crazy Kangaroo
Nurikabe by Nikoli

DSiWare:
Robot Rescue 2

We also get (According to Digitalnintendo and Neogaf)

MARIO GOLF (GBC!)

Good to see that Ninty isn't abandoning 3dsware. I kinda thought they would with more retail downloads coming.

Really? I loved the first one

Bleh. Call me when It's Oct. 25th already.

Wonder how Mario Golf GB and Mario Golf 64 connect? If they even do?

If Sparkle Snapshots 3D is really the only "3DSware" we're getting next week, that's another week I can save my money. I'll need that extra week too, with two big hitters like NightSky & Liberation Maiden both hitting on the 25th!

I hope they throw in Gradius next week as well.

According to www.nintendo.com, 2 Fast 4 Gnomes is going to be hitting the eShop on November 1st.

From the screenshots, It appears to be a generic platformer. With the likes of Mighty Switch Force!, VVVVVV, Mutant Mudds, Cave Story, and NightSky (by then) on the eShop, it's going to have a lot to live up to.

I don't care for the art style, and it looks generic, so unless it gets a great review, I'll probably be passing it up.

Lol I can safely pass on that game based solely on the name... 2 Fast 4 Gnomes...? Sounds like a crappy flash game where you jump around running from gnomes. No thanks.

Yeah, the graphics look totally flash, lol. Apparently you'll be playing as gnomes (4 of them).

It looks really generic & uninspired.
