Nintendo Download: 1st December 2011 (North America)

Yuck...I actually have $16 in my balance with the hopes of spending it on something like Mighty Switch Force, Mutant Mudds or Pushmo since all three were prominently featured as "Coming Soon" in the store. It would be brilliant if Nintendo could serve up something 3D each week but it looks like that's asking for way too much. Maybe they want to be sure we buy Mario Kart 7?

Wii only fans must be happy with their early Christmas present...

YES XMAS Puzzle! Nintendo my dreams have come true. This is quite possibly the best update ever!

No pushmo or zen pinball make me a sad panda

@ tony_Vayza What? we get 3 shovelware and 1 decent VC game.......

this update actually kinda sucks

Mighty Switch Force and Pushmo should be out before the end of the year. I still have $7.42 cents in my account, just enough to pay for Pushmo when it's released later this month.

does this means that the eshop has updated in NA ? and does that means its also updated in Europe ? because then i am going to buy Zen Pinball 3D dont know why our American palls have to miss it this week ;o

@McRokert EU shop updates in about 40 minutes

@Pikachupwnage

/S humor

Could somebody at NLife ask Nigoro about what's going on with La-Mulana?

In a word, boring. I can think of better games than that.

@James , Thank you ;D I thought maybe they updated it at the same time but now i know for sure only every Thursday on 3 o clock in Europe haha !

No Zen Pinball. No Lock and Chase. No Wii VC. Well that stinks. I'd like to return this update back to Nintendo for something better.

Awwww.....no Zen Pinball? That's very disappointing

I was hoping for Pushmo or Zen Pinball.

@tinman Drake asks them on a weekly basis! Unfortunately we have no news to share but as soon as we do I assure you it'll be posted here straight away

What i didn't really get from the review is if Adventure Island doesn't try to be anything more than a port of NES's Adventure Island 2. If so they could have waited a bit longer to release the NES version on the 3DS.
And while i wouldn't put too much faith in Double Bloob it could surprise us and be a decent & nice little game.

I think I speak for everyone when I say where the bloody hell is La-Mulana?
Also boo on no Wii VC yet again. I guess they wouldn't want to throw us a frikin bone even around the holidays.
Now excuse me while I cry in a corner.

When the heck is nintendo gonna sell Flipnote Memo? And also, when are they gonna give out Ambassador GBA games?

And also, when are they gonna give out Ambassador GBA games?

Before the end of 2011, like they said from the beginning. There's still time.

I'll eventually get Adventure Island, but not before Mutant Mudds and Mighty Switch Force gets release.

/me goes back to playing Zen Pinall for mobile

At first, I thought it said double boob... lol

Another week without La-Mulana, Descent and Retro City Rampage! I suppose that another puzzle game is appropriate because this is all very puzzling to me Nintendo!!!

Double bloob actually got released? Does this mean theres a chance we might still get Last flight? I know it looked crap in the trailer from last year but its been a while since then so it could be better if it actually gets released.

Adventure Island for me!

How do you rate this week's platter of digital delights?

What a way to kick off the Holiday season with this virtual pile of maure.

@Stimpy

Love your avatar, but I didn't know Ren and Stimpy was popular in Japan.

Another terrible week for Nintendo downloads. I bet we'll get Mega Man X2 the week before Christmas, then Street Fighter 2 (online?) the week after Christmas.

@SteveW

RetroCityRampage might not even come out on WiiWare. It's been advertised for Xbox Live Arcade though, so it might just stay exclusive for that.

Okay, I've played some of Adventure Island and its really not that great IMO. Then again, I don't think much of any of the early Adventure Island games.

Don't the people who run the Virtual Console try to keep their updates a secret?

What, no Zen 3D Pinball for N.A. gamers? I had my trigger fingers all warmed up for some nice pinball action today. This week holds nothing of interest!

I swear I read that as Double Boob O_o

@LordJumpMad: You shouldn't look at those "adult sites" right before visiting Nintendolife.

I haven't bought anything from any of these updates in the past month. This is getting old, Nintendo. Release some really good titles for once, please? Oh well, atleast I'm saving some money right now.

Wow, this sucks. Why is the first week of the month always horrible for new downloads? Give us our Ambassador games already!

You shouldn't look at those "adult sites" right before visiting Nintendolife.

Yes, you should look at them after you visit Nintendo Life.

No zen pinball?

@LJM same XD

What's this, another week of absolute garbage? I'd like to say I'm stunned but sadly I'm not. Completely pathetic year Nintendo has had, completely pathetic and no Zelda isn't enough to make up for it.

Sigh
So much for hopes and dreams...

the psn has been blowing the vc out of the water

Another big pile of crap. Nintendo, could you make the month of December not stink so much for downloads?

I'm putting my money on Pushmo next week. CANNOT WAIT!

This is one miserable update. Thankfully Mario Kart 7 is almost here.

Nintendo Power said that 3D video is available now...but my 3DS said my sytem was up to date. When is there gonna be a update for NA?

Disappoint/ten.

Double Boob would have at least made it a little interesting ... I mean what is 3D good for if we can't even have 3D breasts?

I'd much rather have Adventure Island II.

This update's pretty depressing. Can't wait for the GBA games.

Happy to say I just bought a Playstation 3, and due to horrible updates for the VC and Wiiware such as this week's, THAT will be getting my entertainment budget until Nintendo gets their heads out of their a$$Es and realize that it's time to pander to the classic video game lovers again.

I'd really like some more VC games on Wii ... namely Monster World IV.
Looks at Tony_Vayza's avatar.
Dude! What the hell?!!

So is that electrobrain cover another version?

@PhoenixCake (49.): You don't ?
_{Even if Dead or Alive: Dimensions doesn't completely satisfy you i'm sure dozens of programmers have their hands full to bring the best breasts bouncing to 3DS.}

@Orichalcum-420

Forget about it, Nintendo makes too much catering to its current auidence to give a damn about those of us who have supported their consoles since the NES. If I didn't have a 360 and PS3 as well as the Wii I'd be even more infuriated with Nintendo than I am right now. There has never in Nintendo's history been a year as bad as this but sadly I don't think they're going to rebound, this is going to start becoming the norm. The Wii, which did have some pretty damn good years before this one, is now finished so don't expect much for it 2012. That leaves the 3DS which sucks and the Wii U which will be even worse.
