Nintendo Download: 13th December 2012 (North America)

We FINALLY got Ninja Gaiden!

Crimson Shroud for me. Will need to find some extra money for Ninja Gaiden and possibly Gardenscapes.

yes ninja gaiden for me! now, when will those rockman series be available in NA? i've heard rockman 2 is on its way on EU but still no rockman 1 on US...

Chuck E. Cheese's Alien Defense Force, what kind of game is this, do they recruit children into the Chuck E. army to fight aliens............with WATER BALLOONS OF JUSTICE?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I'll get Crimson Shroud some time later.

Rayman Legends and Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed Demos!? Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

Interested in a review for Gardenscapes.

im very interested in crimson shroud! gardenscapes looks ok too will wait for the review on that one.

Chuck E. Cheese is 500 not 800 points @ThomasBW84 !

Just sw the video for gardenscapes on nintendo.com Looks like a combo of hidden object and building sim

Wow, 3 demos for me to DL, 2 of them for Wii U! I'm going to be needing that external hard drive soon.

Definally getting the demos.

I was in Target a couple of days ago and some big loud fat guy was yelling about "what's the point of having a Wii U if the demos' aren't going to work?". And while I'm not so loud and obnoxious about it, I have to agree with him. Maybe Target can finally at least have these 2 demos playable now. I think the stores where people buy Wii Us need the demos more than people's homes who already own the system.

I played the Sonic demo last night on my PS3 and it was harder than it looked, but for $40 the kids might be getting an extra Christmas gift. One of the hazards of finishing shopping too soon, there's always something else to buy. But at least I came to my senses and didn't buy an Xbox - shiver

I'll get Crimson Shroud at a later date, but I'm still excited for it

Nothing for me this week though I might check out Crimson Shroud and buy it next week when I have money to get another eshop card.

I still can't understand how NOA's eShop last week made me look like a liar thinking Ninja Gaiden was supposed to come out on 12/6/2012 instead of 12/13/2012. I would download Ninja Gaiden this week, but I rather hold until Wario Land II next week.

Adventure Time at $30 sounds interesting.

Crimson Shroud and NinjaGaiden all the Way!!!!!!!! EPICXD

I might have to check out that Sonic Racing Demo, I believe the game is only $39.99 here in the US. Pretty nice price for a home console game. Hopefully it is worthy. Ninja Gaiden will probably be what I pay for today, but I still need to purchase Super Mario Bros., Zelda, and Zelda II on the NES VC

I'm getting all the demos for my 3DS and Wii U!

Good week

I'm a little uncertain, but I'm really really considering Crimson Shroud... Looks like a nice unique experience.

Adventure Time demo!! Yay!

Just bought Art of Balance a couple weeks ago. I would recommend it for anyone who likes puzzle games. I have finished about 140 of the 200 levels.

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?!! is also available at retail stores, and a DEMO version of the game is downloadable from the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS.
YES!!!!

@Tasuki They'll be back on the fence about Sonic and Kirby.

I'm getting the demos and Ninja Gaiden. I might get that RPG later on, too. A lot of good stuff this week, I just wish the Wii U eShop would get more than demos and retail games. But at least we finally got the Rayman demo!

WHAT TIME IS IT.....? ADVENTURE TIME im getting this demo XD

RBFF is an odd inclusion. But cool nontheless. Ninja Gaiden is what has me excited, though!

However, I go to the eShop and.. it hasnt updated yet! What?:

Gonna have to grab Ninja Gaiden just on principle. Having a Restore Point will be so sweet, just for that brutally punishing deal towards the end where if (when!) the final boss kills you, you continue from 2 stages back.

Adventure Time, baby! I though this game would never arrive as a retail download!

Nothing for me.

@SubZer023 you do realize that's a retail download and not a demo. I thought it was at first as well. I won't buy it till a demo comes out so make it happen. Crimson Shroud for me as its still downloading since 12:04. Stupid download speed!

Edit: I stand corrected there is a demo in the shop! Might want to add that up top.

@gojiguy that happened to me so I just went to the coming soon part of last week and it let me download it.

...No Wario Land III? WTF? :/

@Erica_Hartmann It'll come after Wario Land 2 obviously and not before.

When I get the money, I'll definitely give Crimson Shroud a go.

@rjejr youallready bought a PS3 you've already lost

There does need to be demos, but the videos and screenshots are usually enough to show me what the main pointbof the games is. I might DL the Rayman demo, but I literally got Sonic Transformed last night off eShop. Really liking the deluxe promo. I'll probably just use the codes on 3DS eShop for some GB games, or Crimson Shroud. Kinda want more non retail DLs on Wii U though... you still get 10% back from those codes too, so that's made me want to save them for now. Sonic Transformed is pretty fun IMO, so maybe that DL will be good for people who can't buy a game right now...

I'll download that art of balance demo... And maybe gardenscapes.

I thought they already released-...ugh, Nintendo hurry up! T.T

Loving the rayman legends demo. I'm surprised how good ubisoft games have been lately 0.o

gonna download the sonic racing demo as well, my nephew loved the first one.

Crimson Shroud, the moment I get more eshop money. I'm getting the Adventure Time and Art of Touch Balance demos.

Ninja Gaiden for sure and mayyybe Crimson Shroud and Gardenscapes (waiting for pending review).

FINALLY!Adventure Time on the eShop!Good thing I got the game on Saturday.

Probauby get zombie skape just beause it looks fun (and has zombies!), and might get gardenscapes some day.

So the winners for me were Crimson Shroud, Gardenscape and Adventure Time demo. This keep me busy for a while.

@Erica_Hartmann: I feel your pain. We're still waiting on 2 unfortunately. NOA tends to slack off.

@Erica_Hartmann
Wario land II is coming next week, so don't worry.

And YES! Ninja gaiden is finally here, and two wii U demos as well! But is it me, or am I having trouble finding the Adventure time demo? It says in the PR that a demo is available but it's not.

Nice more Fatal Fury. I'm down with that

.....for a second I thought I saw 'Sonic Racers(For Free). O_O The entire game that is!! hahaha...then I saw the words above it...demo.....

Crimson Shroud wins! Flawless Victory!!

Adventure time, crimson shroud, ninja gandian, gardenscape. My 128gb SDXC is filling up nicely with all these retail downloads NomNomNom =]

I thought Real Bout Fatal Fury was already out on the Virtual Console. No matter. Keep'em coming, D4. I'm crossing my fingers for Shock Troopers 2nd Squad, Savage Reign, and Kizuna Encounter. Hey, why isn't Baseball Stars Professional on the Virtual Console?

Pretty decent week! Grabbing the Art of Balance Touch demo!

Maybe Ninja Skape or Crimson Shroud for me. Already grabbed the demos.

anyone else not like how if you die in the adventure time demo it just puts you back at the very beginning?

@Retro_on_theGo its dissapointingly short, and it doesnt even show you how hard the puzzles get, just gives you a few from the first level

We gonna see that Murder on the Titanic review anytime soon?

3ds is doing Beautiful at this moment:D

Where are the Wii U eshop games "besides the digital retail titles"?

Where's my Ninja Gaiden, bro? Oh wait..."quietly exits".

@WiiWareWave there probobly still making them

@SirQuincealot - I don't, though, it wasn't too hard when I figured out all the attack patterns.

Okay so the Art of Balance demo is a 3D version of the Wiiware one but no multiplayer...

That Adventure Time soundtrack... the first level to the north.... ohhhhhh!

are the demos coming at a later date or are they buried in wii u's eshop? also i own and beat adventure time and its a simple throwback to zelda 2 that controls great looks simple but pleasant, better in 3d, and an awesome short soundtrack. but theres very little voiceacting. its pretty easy and a few few hours long, < 3. i think $15 would have been very generous, had there been voiceacting. although i've never seen the show i found the plot to be whimsical and funny. so its a good game thats priced high. i don't regret owning it.

@Aqueous It has a new mode (Endurance) and double the levels. It beats out the Wii version by far.

Come on Nintendo, quit recapitulating the Wii Virtual Console and bring the GBA VirtCon to the rest of us.

This is one instance of Sony unambiguously treating consumers better than Nintendo. When you buy a PSOne classic, you can play it on PS3 or PSP, and move the save back and forth. They even give you the PSV version of their Smash Bros analog for free with purchase of the PS3 version. Nintendo wants us to buy the same game twice for the same functionality (only no save moving).

Lest someone trot out the "fanboy" cliche, I am a tri-system gamer, plus 3DS and PSP, and have been a Nintendo gamer from way back. I am simply acknowledging that Sony, in this case, is doing the right thing and Nintendo is not. I enjoy Nintendo, but the reasonable person must admit that some of their decisions are simply inexcusable from a customer-treatment perspective (system-locking digital purchases [as opposed to account-based] and no cross-platform VC, to name the relevant offenses).

Nintendo, please take this in the spirit in which it was intended - as a longtime friend telling you when you're making an ass of yourself.

You should add a Demo option in the polls.
I don't always have money...so demos are always up for grabs

Just got Crimson Shroud.

I was considering getting Ninja Gaiden, but then I remembered that I could never beat the game no matter how many times I played it on my NES. It's a bit too tough, at least compared to the sequel (which is also the only NG game I've managed to complete).

Dangit, where's my WarioLand III. Dang Europeans... Good luck getting Ninja Gaidan, oops, I meant Shadow Warriors!

No SNES (or even GBA) games on 3DS virtual console still baffles me....
Its gotta be in the top ten list of stupid decisions made by Nintendo!

There is a demo for adobenchaa taimu too :C

@Drobotic Sarcasim, I take it?
