Nintendo Download: 21st March 2013 (North America)

I still don't know why Zen Pinball is so good.. I am interested though.

Not downloading, but I'll be picking up the physical version of Luigi's Mansion next week.

Lame week for me, guess I will get a game from the last few weeks since I plan on getting dark moon in physical form.

i plan on downloading mystery dungeon onto my 3DS but first i have to buy a retail copy of it for my son. otherwise he will just keep playing my 3DS. I'm also getting the Pokedex Pro 3D since it's on sale....other than that nothing else for me. already have my copy of dark moon preordered so i'm not downloading that, plus I know I will be sharing it with my son.

I want some 3ds virtual console

I'll give Zen Pinball 2 a try. Any news on when we get TANK! TANK! TANK! for free?

AoF 3, buying it.

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon FTW! This game looks so fun and creative, and finally makes Luigi the star character for the first time since Luigi's Mansion in 2001! Plus I can play multiplayer with all my friends... it'll be so much fun!

@Five-seveN Come to Boston and get into PAX East... Nintendo will be selling Dark Moon on Saturday! Crisis solved.

A big-time week. Hey you Zen Pinballers, what's your favorite two tables? I'm not much of a Marvel guy but am interested in original pins, preferably not on the 3DS collection already.

Just free DLC for me because I'm buying both Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity at retail next week, I'll just save my money for Legend of the River King next week.

Art of Fighting 3!! Whoo! That's a classic!

I swear SNK is just teasing us until they release Garou.

Sorry Nintendo, I'm still not jumping for the Pokedex at that price

@Thomas Do you think we could get an option on the survey for "multiple downloads"? Some people might get a mix of stuff especially with free DLC on the list.

I can't afford Zen Pinball 2 this week (thanks to BioShock Infinite), but I got Punch-Out yesterday. With that being said, there's a severe drought of demos on the Wii U eShop.

No demo? I can't afford any games this week but I'd much rather get Luigi's Mansion 2 retail.

Art of Fighting 3 is a triple A + fighting game. One of the best in my opinion

Zen pinball for free and Luigi's Mansion.

I'll be getting LMDM Day 1, but getting a physical copy.

Why don't you post what FEA DLC we get anymore, is it just Nintendo failing to notify anyone of what they're making available?

The Europe 18+ content restriction is over (in the Netherlands at least). See the News-section.

So nobody else thinks it's weird Nintendo is releasing both Luigi and Pokemon on the same day? Meanwhile the Wii U gets ...

The only game this week I'd be interested in downloading is Luigi's Mansion DM, and I'm getting the physical copy of it at GameStop.

So, nothing for me this week.

Too busy playing Monster Hunter to worry about these downloads.

i didnt like zen pinball at all.. i still prefer pinball dreams or mario pinball advanced =)

Oh boy it's Thursday! Time to find out what we can download Tuesday -_-''' Seriously, I think it's time Nintendo just switch to regular Tuesday updates.

Also I finally can't stop myself from buying Mudds !

I'll get ZP2 and GOTY 2013 (PMD). I'll DL LM at a later date.

And I certainly hope NL doesn't make the same dumb mistake other reviewers did with the older PMDs (One reviewer gave the red and blue PMD a bad score because they claimed there were NO attacks in the game... Meaning they didn't open the menu.)

Got Luigi's Mansion on pre-order. Picking it up Sunday. Weee!! Been a busy week for gaming between Monster Hunter Wii U and now Luigi's Mansion. Also, since I am doing the download promotion thru Nintendo, I get a free Mario Land 3D. Too many games to play and not enough time. LOVING Monster Hunter so far...

What about Punch-Out for WiiU VC for 30 Cents, that's what I'm picking up!

Umm... Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is only $34.99, not $39.99...

Still unsure if I want either of the retails on the 24th though...

Man If I didn't already spend my money on the Xbox 360 pinball tables I would totally jump on Zen Pinball 2. I highly recommend them. It and Pinball Arcade are the best digital representations of pinball out there. ALMOST as good as the real thing, and in some ways, better.

I'm interested in Mutant Mudds discount. Might have to pick that up.

Why isn't Zen Pinball showing up in the eShop?!

Other than LMDM at midnight via the eShop, slim pickins this week as nothing else interest me. And good thing too as there are games that need to be played in my backlog.

@bezerker99 Exactly!

I'm wondering the same thing as bahooney, why is ZP2 not in the eshop??

I'm seriously excited for Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, obviously. I hope you all enjoy my latest inventions!

@bahooney @zodiak13 I think the eShop doesn't update till noon Eastern Time.

Luigi's Mansion download for me. Tired of putting cartridges in and out of my 3ds...and trying to find them:)

Not downloading anything but punch out when I get home. But ill be picking up luigi's mansion this sunday , already pre ordered it and I can't wait!

money comes in on my birthday, the 26th proving that the planets do sometimes align.

money goes out on my birthday, the 26th, as i get LM: DM and Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk! can't wait!

@childofacid I'll attempt to wait, thx for the info.

MUTANT MUDDS for sure. My demo was about to run out! Been waiting for a price drop on this.

I may get Pokédex 3D Pro now that it's cheaper.

FINALLY FREAKIN ZEN PINBALL 2!!!!!!!!!
calms down

I'm getting Luigi's Mansion 2 and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, too.

Hmmm... Well, I might be able to muster up some cash for Luigi and Zen, but I already got tons to play. Is Pokedex 3D Pro going to be updated when X & Y come out? I'll get that if it wll.

I was going to download Pokémon Mystery Dungeon at a later date (too many games to play atm) but that free dungeon is pushing my impulse button. Lucky we have a month for the bonus.

Should i chose Mystery Dungeon or Luigi's Mansion? Ugh my wallet

@mariobro4 I say both, it's always healthy to have a wallet apocalypse .

Still no ZP2 on the E-shop here, wonder if it 12pm PST .

Mutant Mudds should be a no brainer, however all the other games on sale really took up a lot of space on my SD card though I am upgrading my 3DS to PikaXL haha but I'll just wait for the HD version to come out on Wii U. I might check out Zen Pinball as its free, didn't really like the way it was structured on Xbox, hope we get at least 3 free tables this time.

still no Zen Pinball 2 on the eShop...... weird

@Blue_Yoshi No free tables based on info from the Zen Studios site. Per BarbieBobomb.

@zenverak
I grew up playing pinball and Zen comes the closest to dropping a quarter. They have done an amazing job recreating the real pinball table experience. And from what I have read the Wiiu version plays and looks great. I have checked the eShop and it wasn't available before this post.

Is there an issue with Zen Pinball or something?

@Spark_Of_Spirit Yes there is, it's not being played by me on my WiiU, that is the issue.

Somebody forgot it's thursday over at Nintendo...

@k8sMum Happy early birthday! You've got some pretty nice games releasing in your birthday week Mummy.

FYI BarbieBobomb @ Zenstudios says they don't know when the e-shop will be updated.

I'm saving my funds for HarmoKnight next week, but if I get Gates to Infinity before the 30th of April I'll get that DLC.

Nintendo is watching the NCAA tourney and forgot.

@PopeReal Redmond, WA based but maybe they are getting ready to watch the Zags, yeah thats it....

go to the Coming soon section... i am downloading it now

@TheTwilcorn good call!

I'm surprised as to why Nintendo don't offer demos for their big releases like Mario and now Luigi...ah well, gotta wait for retail release..

Assassins Creed DLC Is also updated with episode 2 of George Washington

downloading now, lets do this! my NNID is Baby_Sickle if anyone wants to send me a friend request

I'm downloading Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity on the 24th! It looks like a lot of fun, considering I've been playing the Demo Version for some time! It's challenging, yet it's endless fun!

ZEN PINBALL 2!

Time to go buy Eldorado now...

Yeah this would really make people run out to go buy a Wii U right ?

luigi mansion retail

Waitng for Star Wars for Zen. My wallet has been spared.

No dsiware ! BAH !~

Someone want to send me a free 3dsxl??? lol

The 3D Pokédex was too expensive for my tastes at the regular price, and it's still higher than it should be, but I'll grab it at this price.

I think Zen really missed a great opportunity. There was very little for the Wii U for months and delaying the release of ZP2 until 2 days after Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will really impact what could have been. Back in January I had over $20 ready to go for Zen tables, now I'm content to wait for them to go on sale as I will be hunting monsters for the next several months.

I wish I could pick both Zen Pinball and Luigi's Mansion in the poll, as I'll be getting both..

They waited too long to release Zen Pinball 2. My excitement for it just isn't there anymore.

50 Classic Games isn't all that great. I got the physical copy last year. It has a lot of the same games as the DS version, and a lot of very repetitive games (such as a zillion ways to put together the same picture over and over). It doesn't offer trophies, or any game play awards, it has no score charts, or anything. Totally bare bones stuff. The only thing I play it for is Yahtzee and Farkle. But they are extremely basic too.

Good.Finally got Zen Pinball 2 on the eShop.

In the eShop, Pokédex 3D Pro is still $14.99. Unless I read the article wrong (and it's supposed to stay that price for a few days), why?

No sign of Castlevania or Kirbys Dreamland 2.

50 Classic Games 3D is in the eShop for $4.99, seems like a decent price for it.

I thought we were getting Legend of the River King this week...

Oh well, nothing for me this week.

Luigi Mansion 12:00 midnight 3/24 for me!!

Mystery Dungeon is going to be awesome~

Getting Art of Fighting 3 when i get the chance, never played the AoF games, but the graphics look great(I've already seen plenty of videos of it on YouTube).

Discount on Pro, nice!

Hurray, Art of Fighting 3!

Didn't Punch Out also come out?

Finally! I've been waiting for a discount on the Pokedex Pro. I wonder if even $10 is still too much for this, but I guess I'll find out after I download it tomorrow...

Definitely getting Pokedex 3D with that sale!

Downloaded Need for Speed a few days ago, picked up Lego City after work tonight, and downloaded 2 of the table sets with Zen Pinball when I got home (you're right, there has to be an easier way to go about buying tables, what a pain in the butt). Looks like the next edition of What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? will feature an all Wii U lineup since launch week in my house.

I'm tempted to download Dark Moon just to have it immediately, but this is one game I'll definitely want a physical copy. So, Sunday will be a mini road trip movie starring yours truly.

I am far too busy with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate to download any new games this week. (Sorry to my favorite green mustached hero!) In due time I'll be having a blast in Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon like many people will at launch.

I bought the Plants vs. Zombies table but I still can't select it from the menu.

They pretend like Zen Pinball is a free game with the option of buying DLC, but it's really just a demo without a play limit. I mean come on, you couldn't give me a single table to actually have without having a time limit?

@Pixel-Perfect Make sure you download the trial table, which has all the data. When you buy a table, the download is just a small file that unlocks the trial table.

@DerpSandwich A lot of people would take a single free table and be content to never buy anything. As it is, you can buy just one single table for $3, and you're getting a high-quality table that you can play for hundreds of hours, which is a real steal. I don't know, maybe they should have called it the Zen Pinball Engine or included 1 table and charged $3, so people wouldn't have unrealistic expectations of free pinball.

Nothing for me, thanks.

@ThomasBW84

It may not be mentioned in the Press Release nor visibly announced on eShop, but MH3U tools were released a couple hours ago on both 3DS and WiiU eShops!

@iphys Thanks so much.

I voted Zen Pinball 2. I'll be buying Luigi's mansion at retail later.
