Nintendo of America Outlines Upcoming Q1 eShop Releases

Somewhat depressing on the Wii U side.

AHHH A FIRE EMBLEM DEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zen Pinball, the Cave and maybe RE: Mercenaries (if it is at a discount, doesn't seem like a full game to me).

Meh. Mildly intrigued by Cave. Problem is - NOTHING else on Wii U horizon excites me at all. Hope 3rd parties surprise us. Would be great to see a Dead Space trilogy or a BioShock Infinite released. Would be awful if we finally have an HD console that has no 3rd party support. The promise of a Zelda or Metroid might just keep me hanging on to my Wii U. Only 3DS one I'm looking forward to is Luigo's Mansion.

Harmoknight?

It looks like more launch titles are appearing in the eShop as downloads, that sounds great.

I hope we get Cave Story+ and Nightsky here in Europe...

Well shoot. I was hoping for the new Shantae (or the original one) to be released soon.

Looks like I'll be buying every Wii U eShop game...

The Cave should be amazing for sure. DoubleFine is pure quality.

I thought Mutant Mudds Delxie and Two Brothers was this quarter.

Also Fire Emblem Demo today.

I'm not a huge pinball fan, but I'll be grabbing all those other Wii U eShop titles. Nice lineup.

On another note, I read an article the other day that mentioned the "EU Wii U eShop". Try saying that out loud a few times.

They're releasing a new Finding Nemo game?

Wii U eshop: The Cave, Toki Tori 2, ZP2
3DS eshop: Coaster Creator 3D, ATV Wild Ride 3D, Harmoknight(?)

@uel That's been out for a while now, haha.

I'm still curious to see what prices those first three 3rd party retail games will have on the eshop, since they're all currently easy to find for about half their original retail price.

Shame Pinball Arcade isn't in that list; I was hoping it would beat Zen 2 to the eShop.

Ikachan!! I've been waiting

Yatagarasu and Space Harrier 3D are suspiciously absent... Not a good sign...

Looking forward to Ikachan and Guxt, in that order.

I'm curius about Ghost Recon's price. If it is good I'll download it instead of getting the retail copy.

@ThomasBW84 Totally agree. Awesome game. It was the game I got with my 3DS!

The games I am looking forward to finding out more about are BIT.TRIP Presents... Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien and Toki Tori 2.

@WaveBoy it was fun for me since I bought 2 copies to play with my younger brother, but if you're playing by yourself I wouldn't recommend it. It's basically just mercenaries maps and solo gets boring.

Would love to.have mercenaries on the go but its gonna be a stupid price, the retail downloads that are nearly 2 years old should be no more than £15
Theres no way paying £40 for these games.

Pretty dissapointing on the Wii U eshop front, particularly considering the lack of third party support and the number of titles that have been delayed.

They forgot about the Virtual Console games that they'll end up releasing in Q1, all two of them.

Until now I have liked EVERY announced and released Wii U eShop game.

I'm really interested in The Cave.

Might get resident evil 3d if it is discounted and has the deleted save file that the japanese eshop release is getting.

I was hoping to see Two Brothers or Pier Solar there

Oh well, I'm interested in a few of those.

Capcom priced Mercenaries at less then half of the original in Japan. Hopefully it stays the same in the US.

@Shanksta It has online remember.

@kdognumba1 I'm definitely looking forward to Pier Solar. I hope we see it this year.

Also Feb 21 MH 3 Demo for WiiU and 3DS
Soul hackers April 4
Castlevaina LOS March 3rd

Getting the Cave, Zen pinball and PMD 3DS!

Ikachan and Guxt are all that drive my curiosity up on the download only front. I'm kind of sad no Shantae but I can wait for it.

For sure I'm getting The Cave, the biggest reason being Ron Gilbert. Plus, videos interested me. Interested in Puddle, but waiting for more info. I already have Zen Pinball on the 3DS, so I'm torn about that one.

WTF is Picross-E, NOA? I am sick to DEATH of waiting!

WHAT?!? Harmo Knight won't be quarter 1? Ugh, my day is friggin' ruined.

Bloody Vampire looks nice, but will probably disappoint.

I think they might be slowing down the releases. So much so fast has been coming out. I love it but it's frustrating at the same time. It makes me a chain gamer which sometimes is not fun. I was also hoping for HarmoKnight and Plan to get Etrian Odyssey on Cartridge when that releases. But these holidays had me being a Downloading fool.....heh Speaking of which I ran out of room on my SDcard today and couldnt download the Fire Emblem Demo. I ran out and got a 16gb card today and im re-downloading all my previous stuff haha

I plan on getting Nano Assault EX, and maybe RE: The Mercanaries.

@Geonjaha lol sad thing is it probably won't be more than 3.

Ok I guess but not really anything good, but at least we have some good physical games I am still hoping for a game by UFO that's better than Johnny Kung Fu

RUNNER2!!!!!

Runner 2 and Toki Tori 2 are definitely on my radar, but where's Mutant Mudds Deluxe?

I'm guessing Harmoknight will still come out this quarter. They tend to release eshop titles with little fanfare.

Also glad Shadow Wars is getting a 2nd chance to shine.

Where the hell are the Virtual Console releases? Damn.

@Pikachupwnage Wow, that is the first time that I completely forget a pretty big aspect of a videogame. I never really played it online so I didn't even think about it. I take that back then, its worth it.

Bit Trip Runner and Zen Pinball 2 will be mine, girlfriend will probably get The Cave

Looking forward to Ikachan. I'm hoping its $5 or less, though.

@KnightRider666 They should be bringing out 5 VC games a week and at least 2 3D classics a month. Gosh all it would do is make them more money Cripes! It cannot be hard to Localise VC games.

@Windy: I agree with you 100%. I believe the licensing is what makes bringing certain games to us from the past difficult. Look at Earthbound. B/c of the real world music references, Nintendo can't get a VC release to us. Luckily I grabbed a SNES cart off ebay for $120 almost a year ago. It amazes me to see how much it has gone up in value, and how it continues to hold its value.

I'm downloading Resident Evil: The Mercenaries. Can't find it in stores

@Windy

You don't actually have to redownload everything. If you have a PC with a card reader (or can get a USB card reader; they're cheap) just do this:

• Create a folder on your PC, so that it will be easy to find.
• Insert old card. Copy the entire contents into the PC folder. Do not alter the directory structure or contents.
• Eject old card, insert new card. It should be FAT32 format. If not, make it so. The 3DS can do it for you if you insert the new card into it, go into settings and choose to format the SD card.
• Copy the contents of the PC folder (not the PC folder itself) onto the new card, again without touching the file structure.
• Eject the new card and put it into your 3DS. Hey presto, your 3DS is none the wiser, but now enjoys expanded memory.

Now, if only they'd fix it so DSiWare could run off the card...
