Nintendo Download: 2nd February 2012 (Europe)

I'd buy kid icarus...but I'm still hoping nintendo hasn't completely screwed me out of the free one I should have gotten for registering Mario kart 7 and Mario land 3d at christmas.

Wow, so i really was spot on with thinking Kid Icarus would get its public release in early February.
Might download my first Castle Conqueror game, don't have high hopes for TNT Racers.
The videos sound great though. Would be amazing to watch the whole Kirby show on my 3DS again.

Where is Sakura Samourai??!!

I was really hoping we'd get Wario Land this week

Is the Kirby video the same as the Kirby series from the WiiWare channel?

No Sakura Samurai at least...another disappointing week!

Where is VVVVVV, Nintendo? And Mutant Mudds?

Just felt I should point out that Mutant Mudds not being out in Europe yet isn't Nintendo's fault. Renegade Kid haven't been able to submit it yet.
Read the following quote from this article:
“The release of Mutant Mudds outside of the US will be delayed. This is due to Renegade Kid being a small studio. We have to take it one step at a time. Unfortunately, releasing a game in different countries is a time-consuming and costly business. But, rest assured that we will get Mutant Mudds into the UK as soon as possible.”

@6 Sakura Samurai is coming to North America this week as confirmed by either the Nintendo Channel or somewhere on the eShop. (I forget which one.)

Got Kid Icarus for free last week. Pinball Pulse being added is interesting but I've already got Zen Pinball 3D. And wow I didn't expect Kirby Right Back At Ya to appear on Nintendo Video after last year's Kirby TV Channel doing the same thing! Now I can rewatch it all over again.

Gamers don't care about such facts. Only that they can't play the game yet so someone is to blame.

Europe gets screwed....again

I already have Kid Icarus for free and the only pinball game I need (Zen Pinball) so I'm not too sure about this week's offerings. I bought Pullblox and Tetris Online last week and I enjoy them both.
This week I have two Professor Laytons, MK7, Ridge Racer and Resident Evil coming my way so I've got games to play until the next AAA title (Kid Icarus: Uprising) is out.

I'm assuming Pinball Pulse is in 3D now since it's an eShop release. Does it have any other new features?

If you haven't got the Kid Icarud code yet, contact Nintendo on either :-

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/support/game_support_4978.html
or
customer-support@nintendo.co.uk

I did and I got the code the next day.

Will Kid Icarus be coming to the US?

@ Linkstrikesback & Mqblank - I have also had problems with Nintendo failing to send me my download code for Kid Icarus. I've actually sent them quite a few e-mails (several of which have been ignored) and have only received a generic response back which provides a step-by-step guide of how to register for the promotion. I've sent them one last e-mail and have stated that if the code is not sent before the end of January (the original confirmation e-mail that I received on 05/01/2012 said that the code would be sent to me within a few days) then I be will making a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority.

@16 No pinball pulse is not in 3d. It was just made a recent transfer from your DS is all. You can also purchase it now which wasn't available to do so when the transfer was first released.

@Everyone asking for Mutant Mudds: The developer said it won't be coming to Europe for a while. Keep in mind it's a small American developer. Read this: http://3dsware.nintendolife.com/news/2012/01/interview_mutant_mudds_reader_questions

@SkywardLink98: Probably not since we're getting Sakura Samurai on Thursday.

@20.Mardt
Have you tried logging into your Club Nintendo Account page? You should find a message on the right hand side, but if not then log out and then back in again, at which point you may find what you seek. I noted this tip from elsewhere on NL, and it has been useful for others. My code arrived by email several days after I obtained the game by using the above method.

Release VVVVVV and Mutant Mudds or EU download next week and I'll be a happy bunny. And a good ten quid poorer aswell.

@ Mowzle - Yeah, that was the process I followed too. I then received a confirmation e-mail which stated,

'Thank you for registering for the Nintendo 3DS Games Registration Reward scheme! We will send you an email with your Download Code for 3D Classics : Kid Icarus within the next few days to this email address, so keep your eyes peeled!'

So I'm pretty confident that I did everything correctly. For whatever reason Nintendo Customer Support just seem unwilling or incapable of helping me.

STAR WARS IN 3D! *heart explodes and feints, OMG!

@Mardt: I dunno how contacts work in Europe, but have you tried calling Nintendo about your problem?

I'm on the same boat with several others on here concerning Kid Icarus. Will be pre-ordering KI:U so no need to buy it.

I got the download code in the mail last Friday! nice! This was for Registering Mario 3D land and Mario Kart 7. thank you Nintendo! (they should do that more often!)

Does £ mean pounds and € mean Euro?

So how does this pinball game compare to the great one that we got in the 3DS shop a few weeks ago?

@NintendoLife: Don't have to tell me twice. With your headline.
Pinball pulse is not in 3D by the way, but it is a game to buy.
@Europeons some of you are ungrateful, we still don't have Kid Icarus. And Pinball Pulse is an entertaining game.

Guys, it might be a couple of months before you see Mutant Mudds in EU, at the very least.

it might be a couple of months before you see Mutant Mudds in EU, at the very least.

We know. It still won't stop people complaining every week until it arrives.

That's fine. I've got tonnes of games to play with at the moment. Ungrateful? Hell no.

lets hope kid i carus comes over here

Already have Kid Icarus, so another week of nothing for me. Hope Nintendo announce more VC games soon - theres only 3 on the horizon! (not counting GG games and such, because it doesnt look like they're coming soon and I dont care about them )

Also - what happened to the 3DS VC coming soon list? Warioland and Dr.Mario are suddenly gone.

@Lordlz - No, I haven't called them yet. I believe it's a premium number so I was trying to avoid calling them if at all possible, but given that they're ignoring my e-mails I guess that's the only option left to me.

Who cares if we aren't getting Sakura samurai this week? We're getting 3D classics: Kid Icarus which is clearly much better. Although there should be vc game on the Wii or 3DS but at least theres 3D classics: Kid Icarus which I'll be picking up at some point.

@Mardt
If you can, make a Google account and make a Google voice account and call them from there. Not sure if it's free calls in UK, as is US. That's what I do when I contact Customer Service, since I don't want to use my cellphone minutes (Don't care really, my mom flips like a mad woman for no reason).

Keep pushing them.

dont worry people! mutant mudds is great, worth the wait!

@Koops3
"some of you are ungrateful, we still don't have Kid Icarus."
You have that crap Samurai game, VVVVVV, Mutant Mudds and Sakura Samurai by Nintendo coming this week.
That's way better than Kid Icarus. (which i downloaded, played for two minutes and haven't touched it since)

At least Nintendo should be doing simultaneous releases for it's first party 3DSware titles. >.<

3D star wars trailer... YES

i want mutant mudds

3D classics: kid icarus for the people who didnt get it for free, well why no VVVVVV for the people who already have kid icarus ARRRRRRGGHHHGHAAARRRHHHH

Already downloaded Pinball Pulse and Kid Icarus. Disappointed we didn't any of the two 3DSware we are owed that NA have. TNT racing requires a review.

I still need Nintendo to get back to me about Tetris 3D not registering at all! It was a brand new game and the code is "Invalid" So Nintendo need to email me my code. I bought that game only for the offer! If this offer didn't exist I probably wouldn't have bought Tetris!

Kirbykirbykirbykirbykirbykirbykirbykirbykirbydededekirbykirbykirby!!

Sweet! Now I can watch the Kirby anime anytime, anywhere!

why ias it they seldom comment on US release until after the actual release (or so it seems)

Now Europe is already 3 great Eshop games behind :/ Hope we'll get at least one next week.

the kirby video is a new one. it it done completely with computer graphics (as apposed to the original programs that had a mixture of computer and traditional animation) and is in 3d
