Nintendo Download: 8th November 2012 (North America)

Only the Mickey Mouse demo for me this week...

Sengoku 2 is an absolute must. There's one less reason to fire up M.A.M.E.

Just the demo. I want the cartridge version of Paper Mario and that's on my Christmas list anyways (saving for my Wii U purchase). And the Pokedex is too overpriced, for $5 I would've gotten it.

I'll just be getting that demo.
If I do get PMSS, it'll be a retail copy.

Interesting, I didn't know they made a Sengoku 2. Going to Youtube now to watch gameplay videos.

I personally can't wait to read the review for Smart Girls' Playhouse Mini. Will Chicken Brutus have the pleasure?

Getting Sticker Star at retail, but I'm really excited about the Epic Mickey demo! I've been on the fence about the game so this should help me decide.

We Europeans have to wait until the 7th Dec. for Paper Mario :/

So Nintendo's false advertising has returned?! Bravo...

Where is Ninja Gaiden on that list (as well as the Kirby and Sonic games) ? Not happy...

I was pretty sure ninja gaiden was coimg out this week, oh well nothing really for me this week.

No Paper Mario till December
And No Epic Mickey Demo.

Part of a PR email sent to GoNintendo:

VIRTUAL CONSOLE

Ninja Gaiden (launches Nov. 8)

Thanks Nintendo for coughing that up...

Nintendo may be a step closer to not become a reliable source.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star is awesome, of course I'm not getting the digital version but the physical copy is pure gaming bliss to me.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to Ninja Gaiden this week, and there's no 3DS VC whatsoever... Not cool, Nintendo. You toy with my heart enough as it is; the last thing I need is for you to start that trolling business. Leave that to Capcom.

Paper Mario, PokeDex 4 meh. I figure the Big N gave us enough shmoo weeks in the spring quarter to figure PokeDex makes up for at least 7 weeks I didn't spend 2.99 on. Still a cool ap to have on the tres dees.

I want that Mickey Mouse demo!!

getting the mickey mouse demo but that's it. i pre-ordered paper mario already.

Where the hell is ninja Gaiden. I'm praying there is an error here. I've been quiet about nintendos pathetic relationship with its customers but this outright blatant lying is disgusting.

Definitely getting the demo whenever i get on wifi again. Nothing else though.

I like Sengoku part 1. It was a fun early Neo geo game. Sengoku 3 was pretty good with awesome graphics but a bit too repetitive even for a beat em up. I've honestly never seen Sengoku 2, and I wonder if its a rare Neo geo title.

Well, great week for Barbiegurl, but nothing interests me. Guess I'll try the demo at least.

I'll be downloading the demo to Epic Mickey when I get home.

Love how people are accusing Nintendo of lying about the Ninja Gaiden release for NES. Yes, they said it was coming out today, but that was well over a month ago. There's a big difference between "lying" and "things changing prior to release" - maybe there was a problem pushing the game to Nintendo eShop, or maybe Nintendo just decided to release it next week instead so it was closer to the release of Razor's Edge. Accusations of lying and false advertising are uncalled for, unhelpful and just plain bull.

@Barbiegurl777 It is truly great to see both Men and Woman (Girls and Boys) playing video games these days!

I won't be purchasing anything from the eShop this week, but I will download the Epic Mickey: PoI demo, and I will be picking up the physical copy of Paper Mario: Sticker Star this Sunday morning! The Wii U is quickly approaching friends, so PM:SS will help null the excruciating week that is nearly upon us

Paper Mario Sticker Star and Donkey Kong Original Edition for me.

I'm downloading the MM demo and Pokedex 3D Pro but am buying a physical copy of Paper Mario:SS(along with the Donkey Kong Original Edition download).

I hope that demo is released in Europe too.

These Nintendo download articles get more and more annoying because there's everything in it: 3DS Ware, 3DS Retail, DSiWare, WiiWare, Virtual Console. And coming soon: WiiU Ware, WiiU Retail, WiiU Demos and so on...

And everybody in the comments is talking about something different. Thus, the Nintendo download should be divided into separate articles by system: Wii, 3DS, DSi and WiiU.

@Omega Like just sub-categories for each system instead of just making a list of everything?

Yes. I think a list of everything was okay when only WiiWare and Virtual Console existed. But now it's too confusing. And not everyone owns every system. For example I don't own a 3DS or DSi and I don't care what's been published recently on these systems.

@Omega I'm sure there's a site out there that has exactly what you're looking for.

Yeah I want to know what happened to Ninja Gaiden on the 3DS virtual console. I was watching Angry Video Game Nerd and GameCenter CX to get ready.

I'm debating on whether or not to get Sticker Star or Assassin's Creed III. Both seem to have somewhat mixed critical reception, but I'm leaning toward Mario if nothing else because of the Club Nintendo reward.

@AG_Awesome
Nintendo has bad relations with its customers? Three words for you: Nintendo Ambassador Program.

Paper Mario Sticker Star, but undecided whether to get it in retail or as a download. I've never played the series before, admiring the graphics but not sure about the sticker-based battle. I was hoping it'd lean more towards the RPG genre.

It's funny as this is the 3rd game I'm planning to get that is eligible for the DK title (which is more a collector's title for me and not a regular play title) and the other two ended up as a retail copy. There's a chance I might regret the purchase as a download and can't trade it in, but then I had the same wariness about the previous game and it was fun after all. At this rate I might just end up with all five titles from retail and no DK. The collector part of me has a terrible sense of humour sometimes.

Sengoku 2 in VC... in 3ds eshop in my dreams... (then I awake...!) sigh... another crap week?... why ninty? why?....

Grabbing Epic Mickey demo. Nothing else I want this week.

Holy geez, the demo has this long cutscene intro that you can't skip (I couldn't anyway)! I just want to see the gameplay, Unskippable cutscenes shouldn't be in demos.

Aww Johnny HotShot looks cute. Might wait for a review first but it does look fun.

Want the Pokedex and will get it eventually (the price is slightly off putting but it sure looks niiiice) I think I'll just get that Mickey demo for now.

I'll get the Mickey Mouse demo, but that's it.

@True_Hero I think Nintendo has some of the best customer service out there! Every time I've had to call them about something (dating back to the 90s here) the conversation always ended with me pleased. They may not be super great at some other things but I do think their customer service is top notch.

I heard the smart girls thing was actually pretty good for it's intended public.

Anyways, I'll stay over there waiting for the Harvest Moon GBC VC Natsume promised.

As far as Pokédex 3D goes, if it had a battle sim i would've paid that much... but not otherwise...

@AG_Awesome: we understand you're upset, but lashing out at other users isn't going to solve anything. Please find someplace else to take out your anger

@theblackdragon I understand you want to keep it this way, that's fine. Delete his post as well please.

@AG_Awesome: I can't, because he wasn't talking about just you. Your original point stands just fine as well; you're upset, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's the namecalling and potshots at other users that is not kosher as per our Rules. :3

_{if it was your business, you would've been informed — TBD}
Also, I totally agree with @bluecat. Nintendo has top-notch costumer service.

Otay

@True_Hero their call in service is great. Used it many times. Their online store however is hideously run, IMHO of course

@AG_Awesome
I don't use any other online stores, so I can't judge that for myself. However, from what I've heard, eShop titles are generally reasonably priced. Also, sorry if it seemed like I was mocking you in my earlier post. That was not my intention. I admit I may have gone a bit overboard.

@True_Hero it's cool.

Their pricing could definitely be better, but it isn't awful as some. My qualm is with the release list, schedule, and announcements. The haphazard attitude they display makes a lot of retro gamers invested in the system feel it isn't a priority.

hah, even when it's a "good" week for downloads, there still nothing but crap from Nintendo

Power of illusion demo! weeooot

What do you guys think of the Power of Illusion demo? I got it and it seems like the full experience might a fun and possibly very content-heavy game. I still don't really care for the graphics though and I actually DID grow up in the early 90's with the SNES and Genesis Mickey games. If it had come out in this form on maybe the Game Boy Color or Advance, I'd be a little less critical but this the 3DS; they could make it look a little better. The character sprites are, for the most part, kinda hideous.

I might download SENGOKU 2 to hopefully show some support for a future release of SENGOKU 3!

Only the demo. I already pre-ordered PMSS.

So many good games but I'm holding off on anything Wii related until I get squarely situated with Wii U. 3DS looking so good.

I'll be DLing pokedex 3D pro, PMSS (on the 11th) and Jhonny hotshot this week, was hoping to DL NG as well "ohwell" xD

Sengoku!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't we get a discount on Marvel Pinball/ /sadfaec

Nothing for me unless that Dress Up game turns out good (because I love EnjoyUp)

I was hoping for Ninja Gaiden. Oh well, looks like I will only be getting the Epic Mickey Demo this week. Yeah and I agree with @rayword45, I would love to see a Marvel Pinball discount for the US as well.

@divinealpha

don't forget they missed the 2 sonic games that were listed for the 8-bit summer. whats up with that?

Epic Mickey demo for me. Nothing else catches my eye.

One step closer to Sengoku 3!

Getting PP:SS download for DK.

WHERE.

THE.

HECK.

DID NINJA GAIDEN GO??????

It was listed for the 8TH of november, right in NOA's press release, it had a coming soon video up last week. WHERE DID IT GO? At least have TK or NOA reconfirm it's release date so we don't know where it went. So nothing for me this week but the demo, which is probably gonna be terrible anyway as every DI game I've played was horribly, horribly Easy.

@Rawk_Hawk: Yeah, where DID they go? Honestly, they were slated for JULY, and they missed their deadline BIG TIME. It's one thing to delay a game due to tech issues (As is the case with unchain blades), but to make it vanish and have no explanation? It's just stupid.

I can forgive TK for the NG, but I won't forgive sega for the two GG games. Japan gets one every month and we still have sonic taunting us in the NA VC catergory (Yep, their coming soon pages are still there, search for them)

I will be getting the digital verison of Paper Mario but not right away - going to wait until probably around Christmas time, since I have a lot of other expenses right now, and don't have time to sink into an RPG. Plus I would like to play through 1000 Year Door and Super Paper Mario first, neither of which I ever finished playing through (Whoops! silly University getting in the way of my gaming!)

Though I will be trying that Epic Mickey demo for sure. I wasn't planning on getting Ninja Gaiden but I'm sad it's not out. The rest of their VC schedule better not get effed up!

$15 for a Pokedex? Are you kidding me? BS

I'm getting Sticker Star at retail, I'll try the Epic Mickey demo. I'd like Pokedex 3D Pro if it was cheaper. SENGOKU looks interesting. Everything else is probably shovelware.

I don't see any 3DS VC games Nintendo. The Epic Mickey Demo looks promising so I will into that one.

Where's ma' Ninja Gaiden Reggie, WHERE?!!!!

The turn based battles were nostalgic at first but after awhile it got annoying not having any other choice but to run or to fight. Also the lack of the partners made the game lose a lot of character

@Rawk_Hawk
Don't forget the pokemon games that thousands were anxiously waiting for. Not many people own the original games and if they do the internal battery must have died by now

I'm getting the physical copy of Paper Mario, and I'll probably get the demo if I remember lol. I heard great things about both games.

Call me a petty fanboy, but I'm saddened to hear about Sticker Star's flaws. I think I'll get it eventually, but I won't purchase it until later. My money is going straight to Power of Illusion. I played the demo, and wasn't disappointed.

I liked the demo of Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, will be getting both this and Paper Mario Sticker Star on the Nintendo eShop soon!

Well, this week is better than many. I sigh at how much the Pokedex is, but I had to get it. I actually like to use it for quick drawing reference, rather than having to refer to the internet or strategy guides since neither are always handy.
Though I kinda don't like the style of the Pokemon. I'm sure they did it because they needed to animate, but they are broken down a lot into flat and geometric shapes when I don't quite feel that's what they look like.
Also the Pokedex is a hefty download- 3350 blocks. I had to delete all my demos XP

Nintendo apparently doesn't realize that Pokedex 3D Pro would sell tons more if the price wasn't so high ~__~;;

Can't wait until Christmas for Sticker Star. It's because I won't have enough after the Wii U Launch .

@Hybrid: Nintendo realized that Pokedex 3D Pro would sell tons even if the price was ridiculously high.

I'm not paying 15 bucks for a reference app when I can just get all the info for free off Serebii.

sengoku 2 right here, sucka

I'm sorry but something has been bothering me after a couple days of playing Epic Mickey Demo on the 3DS. Although the game plays Nice and has nice Character animations. The Background and foreground graphics look way to amateur. I actually had posted a review here then thought better of it. But playing it now for a couple days the game just feels like a bad Saturday morning Cartoon and not at all like a sequel or compared game to Castle of illusion. This was going to be a day 1 purchase for me as im a huge fan of Castle of Illusion. I will pass on Epic Mickey for 3DS. The cutscenes and the Backgrounds along with a very corny dialogue presentation that doesnt even make one laugh are my deal breaker. Some people will love the game. But those who are fans of Castle of Illusion may feel as I do. who knows maybe the full version is much better than the demo. Very dissapointed

PAPER MARIO STICKER STAAAAAAR!!

I would be downloading Donkey Kong Country, oh wait. . .
