Nintendo Download: 20th October 2011 (North America)

LAME

Wait. They're selling the short videos?:S

That's both a good and bad thing.

2 bucks for each short?? I don't speak i'll of nintendo often but...wtf? This would MAYBE be passable if it was all 3 videos for 2 dollars but 2 each is just a straight rip off. How about full movies nintendo? Those would be fair at 2 dollars all day long! Other than that, very disappointed we didn't get pyramids today

Does anybody know when retrocity rampage is coming out? There was a lot of news about this for awhile, and it seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I'm getting tired of waiting!

@bboy2970 You must be new to Nintendo then.

I dont think the films are actually that bad value. Scared Shrekless is on sale in the UK for about $12 for the DVD and that is only about 20 mins or so.
If your a fan of Dreamworks stuff a couple of dollars for a download film you can keep wouldnt seem so bad.

Some free GBA games would hit the spot right about now........cause this is a bit depressing.

No need to buy the GB version of Double Dragon since the NES version was announced to come to the 3DS VC.

Looks at the downloads and squeals with joy at the videos
Sees the comments
Wtf. You people are never satisfied.

@ Savino
Europe is getting -
Academy: Checkers (DSiware)
& Pyramids (3DSware)

I'll definitely be buying Night of the Living Carrots if it's both parts in one video. I wonder if the surprise video will be Shrek or Kung Fu Panda?

Why do I check this every week?

What times do the games come out .. im thinking NOON Est ?

Why? I chuckled at the videos once each and never watched them again. I've already seen them for free. I just don't see why it would be worth paying for something I might watch once then store with the E3 videos.

I suppose what annoys me is that you could spend the $2 on a game like Aura Aura Climber or AiRace: Tunnel or even Absolute Chess. I like that one. That gives you much more then 6 to 12 minutes.

Eh, whatever. I don't have to download them. I've heard of Double Dragon but I don't plan on getting it.

Videos?! You lucky Americans! >_>

We might have Pyramids, but I would trade that for some proper videos on Nintendo Video... actually, I take that back, enjoy your $2 videos!

B.O.B.! For a second there I thought they were talking about the SNES game. I don't think that game will ever see a re-release.

When does the store update?

Stamps foot HEJI WANT METROID!

i think the store UPDATES NOON EST TIME not sure though...

if its not raining im getting Castle Conqueror - Revolution (CIRCLE Entertainment today hopefully

You couldn't pay me to watch anything made by Dreamworks Animation.

I thought Cut the Rope was due today . Oh well, any day a Double Dragon game drops, I can't complain too much.

Two bucks seems reasonable enough for those videos. I'm not going to buy them, but I have enough appreciation for that kind of animation quality to understand a price like that. I think it's neat enough that we got to see them for free, and exclusively on 3DS, in the first place.

@Kevin
Where did you see the NES version confirmed for 3DS VC? Last thing I remember was GB version confirmed for today and NES version of Double Dragon 2 confirmed for Wii VC.

anyone know if night of the living carrots is both parts ?

But do you keep the film? that's the question. I love dreamwork's films and love the Shrek movies and thought they were always entertaining.

Double Dragon for me unless the NES version really is heading to 3DSVC. I'm also interested to know if night of the living carrots is also both parts as well. I think that would be a good video to keep around to show off the 3ds 3d effects. Only if both parts are included for $2.

Justao76 - I've also been wondering about Retro City Rampage and Descent forever, maybe they will be on WiiU or the system after that... maybe Nintendo Life shoud just set up something to alert us so we don't have to be disappointed for the next several years.

@KomicZ Yeah, once you've bought and downloaded the films, they stay on your system. Even if you delete them, you can still redownload them from eShop for free, since they don't expire.

Double Dragon makes this update great!

yeah the videos are big so that must mean that part 2 is there gonna get the monsters vs carrots one

Been waitin for Double Dragon to hit the 3DS VC.

Upon further reflection, I decided I will buy Night of the Living Carrots for a few reasons. 1, its pretty high quality stuff from a respected studio. 2, since its both parts, its like at least over 12 minutes of video so I guess that's not so bad. 3, I want to support Nintendo adding paid video content. They may not be going about it in quite the way I would want but I don't want to scare them away from the idea right out of the gate. So yeah, its Carrots for me!

Double Dragon, according to my eShop Channel, is $3.99 (not $2.99)

Why bother posting anything if all you're gonna do is complain about the same thing every week?

I know one game that's coming next week... But I'm not allowed to say without permissions from Nintendo.

Nothing too interesting this week but it's about time we got Double Dragon.

Nice to see Double Dragon.

I noticed that they seem to have abandoned the Virtual Console branding in favor of "Classic Games". Wonder if that'll stick or not.

I might d/l DD when/if it comes to Wii VC.

@Capt_N: It's already on the Wii VC.

Weird, I thought that the Gameboy Color had more games than just Zelda. And since when is Double Dragon for GB a "Classic"?

ImDiggerDan - I hope it's a Digger Dan sequel!

@imdiggerdan

No comment- if its a 3dsware game
Make comment- for everything else

What a load of crap!

_{because i don't have enough money for double dragon}

Uh ... where's Cut the Rope?

Oh Well, between the new Layton, CATRAP, and CC:R, I should be fine for a while.

@ImDiggerDan - If you're talking about that game you briefly mentioned in the DSiWare forums a while ago, didn't you say that should be out in December?

Meh, I'd consider the Halloween thing if the 3 videos combined were $1.99. A total of $6 is WAAAAAY steep

I'll get Night of the Living Carrots for sure. Love those guys.

Where the heck is cut the rope?

I won't get them but this video idea will more likely then not catch on with companies and we will see more of these cheap little shorts, maybe/hopefully with Nintendo Video previews. The price isn't bad for them but I watched them on Nintendo Video and won't be buying because they were interesting to see but I don't think I'll be watching them again.

Nintendo brought "Cut the DSiWare" instead!

Just kidding! Hey this is the first time we got only one DSiWare game since 2 years ago (October 12, 2009 when Pinball Pulse was released). Thank you Nintendo for all the hard work you put into releasing DSiWare titles!

Nice to see that Double Dragon is finally out on the 3DS VC. I was kind of hoping to see Double Dragon II: The Revenge come out on the Wii VC too. I'm curious about Castle Conqueror: Revolution. It looks interesting but I think that I'll wait for the review. Those videos are okay to watch for free but there is no way am I paying $2 for them. Nice try Nintendo.

Bleeeh, I got Double Dragon for the NES. Don't care about this week.

GOD I wanted that Pyramids 3DSWare game!!!!!!!!!!!

"A fishy puzzler from the creators of Paper Wars: Cannon Fodder, labelled "the worst game ever" by its developer"

No, really?! Lol!

Double ****** Dragon hell yeah! i hope that #11 is right and the NES version is coming out. Ill just get both because i support Double Dragon games to the fullest even if ive had them and beat them for old consoles. Except Double Dragon V cuz that was a mockery to all previous DD games before that.

I bought the carrot one, funny as hell, but not the werewolf, BORING.

I am really hating on nintendo right now. Yesterday, their site said cut the rope would be out today....now it says soon. SOON? Very specific.

Darnit, nothing really worth my remaining $9.

Got Double Dragon, and man! It kicks your butt just like the NES version it's quite similar to. And, same as it, you get a game over, you start back from the beginning. If you lose a life, you don't start at a checkpoint, but rather the beginning of the stage. Some old school games are very unforgiving of failure! Back then, they said: "Checkpoint? What checkpoint? Continue? What continue?" If not for restore points, I couldn't beat some of these old Game Boy games.

Oh and another Wii VC-less week. The part of me that's really, REALLY naively optimistic was hoping for Castlevania: Bloodlines by Halloween. I guess as involved as Konami is with Nintendo these days, Earthbound is more likely.

Where's Zen Pinball?!

@RogueBologna

I know, it's like 12 minutes. It was kinda worth the cash. I mean, they sell 15 minute shows on itunes for what...the same cost? Not half bad...

yay, Double Dragon.

I've always prefered the GB version over the NES one.

Crap as usual

i have lost all faith. nintendo has abandoned us

man i wonder what the game comin out thursday is.. tempted to go out and blow my last 500 pts but i think i wait and see what this mystery game is
