Nintendo Download: 7th July 2011 (Europe)

QIX looks interesting for some short pick up and play action. ANIMA also looks good for some side scrolling gameplay.

Sorry guys that i'm writing it here, but at Japan Expo in France, Gamekyo has got the information(but it's not yet officially coming from NoE) that Pandora's Tower will be launch in Europe in 2012 like The Last Story, i think that's not only a rumour, because last time info about Last Story coming to Europe came from France too.

Great week. Fortified Zone and Ark of Sinners.
Now we only need to know the WW demo!

Huh, aren't GB games usually £2.70?(or have I missed something obvious?)

More GBC games please?

Ho-hum. Another no deal for me until the guys at NOE get up and release those eshop prepaid cards...

Volfied is the best Qix style game I've played.

America better get a big update like this too. It's such a load of crap that Japan always gets huge updates and we get tiny morsels.
Nintendo of America must be run my monkeys.

Qix is great. I can't wait to pick that one up.

Ark of Sinners is definitely my next WiiWare purchase. This game has everything to be awesome: It looks fantastic, reminds me of Castlevania and has a half-naked girl running around with barely-concealed breasts. --- Too bad that I've already spent my points for this month on other downloadable games. But next month there are no more excuses. Guaranteed.

Nintendo of America must be run my monkeys.

You just got Final Fantasy III. Three months after Europe but still, its a VC game.

@ Bass_X0
Well yeah that was a nice surprise. It would still be better if everybody got the same games uploaded. That way it would be more balanced.

I want Mario in a sombrero (QIX). D:

But if everyone around the world got the same games at the same time, and for the same price, the comments sections here would be utterly empty.

The truth is out: we control the release of download games around the world to fill out our comments pages.

Nice to see a 3rd Party VC title.

_{that shady place known as NintendoLife towers has all the answers...}

@Link79 Worse, Nintendo of America is run by Reggie Fils-Aime.

Ark of sinners looks good and I'll get that unless it gets bad reviews but why is there still no new wii vc games? What about Mega man 5 or Mega man x? I also wish they would hurry up and release ehop cards here.

I'll only get ANIMA: Ark of Sinners. Really look forward to that game. The 3DS VC games don't look that interesting and neither does the DSiWare.

Hopefully we get a bit more interesting titles than this.

Where is the 3DSWare?

It must be nice to see what is coming to the eShop 3 days prior :/

@Link: Big update. You call this a big update?

Yet again no Wii VC release i see then - poor show NoE!

OMG Get some bloody 3DSWare not just virtual console!!!!!!

OMG Get some bloody 3DSWare not just virtual console!!!!!!

...they have to actually make some first. It can't be produced in a few weeks, although some probably were back on the DSi but they got pretty crappy scores for being shovelware. You either have to wait until they produce some decent 3DSWare or you get shovelware that you wouldn't buy.

I'm interested in Double Dragon.

Why on earth would I need a fireplace on a handheld console?

Knowing Nintendo of America we're getting something different. Maybe just double dragon for VC.

no, im frustrated that EUROPE gets everything before NOA!

nintendo of america is just interested in making money.

those rats

If nintendo expects to sell wii u they better start plzin fans who has wii... no vc is not helping... also 3ds is way to expencive ...lets hope u least get a vc game this week....

What happened to the Wii VC in Europe? You guys haven't got a game in nearly a month.

Also, why is Nintendo releasing Qix? Taito made that game.

@James: I'm not exactly understanding your rational in regard to the comments section being empty.

Not the GB version. Some obscure third party company handled the development and Nintendo published it. It used to happen often when it came to ports of arcade games; the original developer of the arcade game sometimes outsourced the home console / handheld port to another.

:/

Nothing I want, again. I'm starting to think that 5$ I have left on my 3DS is going to sit there forever.

I love QIX! I hope we see it on NA E
e-shop soon!

Okay, VC is cool and all, but I'm getting tired of it. Bring on 3DSWare!

@ballistikboy - Your back!

I hope we'll see these two e-shop games release in NA, they look like fun.

Still no 3DS-Ware?!! What's going on?!! And what about the Megaman legends 3 prequel?

Its not finished yet, even for a prototype version!

@Bahooney If games received simultaneous worldwide releases, the number of complaints on our pages would decrease dramatically, making us look far less popular. Therefore we exert pressure on Nintendo to delay games — or cancel them altogether, where possible — to make sure our comments look really healthy!

Qix is fun.

Just had a quick look at Qix, and I remember it now. Haven't played it in ages. Might pick it up tomorrow.

Still hoping for Mega Man X. Oh well.

anyone know what time the shop gets updated?

I go to sleep on Thursday and it is already there in the morning on Friday. So it is some time between 00:00 and 10:00 Friday morning NZST

@30. that`s a bit of reverse thinking. i would have thought that NoA would want to release games to make money.
but i do think that nintendo as a whole need to sort out their release schedules and try to get games released around the same time in all territories.
we all know the problems with the different ratings boards and where 3rds want to release games.
the stupid idea that nintendo has with withholding games for months on end is ridiculous, especially when games are clearly ready for sale.
3rds would be more willing to sell more games on the digi shops if nintendo didn`t mess them about so much.
anyway, back to the subject. no games for me this week unless that wiiware game is any good

no 3dsware again.........

"Its not finished yet, even for a prototype version!"

From what I have heard It's more of a prequel then a prototype. And I believe it's already out for months in Japan! The only reason why it's still not released over here, is because Nintendo for some crazy reason still blocks 3DSware in the west!
