Nintendo Download: 24th November 2011 (Europe)

Ok, while Metroid 2 is a good game, this is the time of year where PSN, XBLA and other download platforms are pulling out some really awesome games.

Just last week I got Minecraft on my iPad. Minecraft is a few billion times better than Escape Trick, touch screen controls or no. And that's just one game.

Why-oh-why can Nintendo not get its act together with download platforms and getting developers to take it seriously?

Will we ever get Snowpack Park, MDK2, Liight, Frobot, Burn the Rope and Shadowplay here in Europe?

And what about Line Attack Heroes, Retro City Rampage, La-Mulana, Pole's Big Adventure, Order and Discipline?

Nothing! Just another casual shooting game. People never seem to get enough of these.

@YellowChocobo I agree but I really dont think Minecraft on the Ipad is a good example to use? Its the basic first version of the game for €5.49?....No mining or crafting...no online....

This is the question of the year!

@SKTTR

Retro City Rampage is now an XBLA game, so you won't be seeing that for a while (unless you have an Xbox).

@3 it will in the future though, and even with just the builder mode it's better than anything DSiWare has thrown up in months, and most of the virtual console and eShop besides.

As for the price, well, considering there's a few hundred iPad game's out each day for less than anything on the eShop, and many of those better than the eShop... Arguing for the price of the stuff on eShop doesn't help the case ever.

Metroid II and Escape Trick: The Secret of Rock City Prison for me.

Metroid II looks interesting, shame I'm 30p short. >.<

But other than that, nothing really catching my eye, hopefully we get these GBA games soon... along with the update.

Samus Aran was first playable on 3DS when the Nes ambassador games* was released.

*contained Metroid.

@KonsumKasse Good point!

Oh, boy! Metroid II. Now I really need a 3DS.

Anyone think it's worth it even if you have the NES one?

Nothing for me this week since i have the cartridge of Metroid II and am assuming it still saves.
But that makes me think ... While in general i don't mind these VC games being colourless maybe i won't be willing to download an inferior version of a game i own~ed before.~

@Geonjaha: It's one of the best GB games out there. And while it doesn't feature the variety of bosses of other Metroid games it's still a good portable premiere in my book.

i won't be willing to download an inferior version of a game i own~ed before.~

Its not inferior. It just doesn't use the Super Game Boy / GBC as its emulator.

@12 Geonjaha: This is a completely different game. It's also much more user friendly with save points (instead of passwords) and lot more forgiving game structure by today's standards. Well worth your money if you are a Metroid fan.

I'll probably get Metroid II at some point but all the other downloads this week look crap.

Metroid 2! Finally

who is buying JUST SING someone has to be buying them or they wouldnt keep making them

Just Sing is good for practicing. It's better than anything put out for iPad and that lame App Store on iOS devices.

You have to buy Metroid II it's a must have.
For me i won't be picking it up because I still have the original cartridge.

@Bass_X0 (14.): Which gives it less options than i used to have. While technically it may not be true personally i find it to be inferior then.

no 3ds ware...so sad

Revue?
WAT.

@GlasS: 'revue' means "A light theatrical entertainment consisting of short sketches, songs, and dances," and it's pronounced just like 'review'. we're so punny~ :3

Metroid 1 was bad so I dont need Metroid 2 and next to my location we cant buy eShop Cards
