Nintendo Download: 20th June (Europe)

Wow, there's a lot this week. Will definitely get the Guild 02 games later on. (Tokyo Tale looks so cool!) so BUGS vs TANKS can wait.

I'm getting Super Luigi U on disc because that Boxart is down right phenomenal.

Tempted by Super Little Acorns 3D at that price.... hmmm. Nothing for me I guess then.

Besides I've got FE & AC to play

No Mighty Switch Force 2

Will get Defenders of Oasis

Useless pointless VC releases as usual, well done! Nintendo, NOT!

For pete's sake when will Nintendo put some worthwhile games on the Wii U VC, I'm talking N64 & GameCube here?

Releasing ancient crap every week is getting real boring now, it's not as if there's much to play on the Wii U, not until "2014" so why not release decent stuff on the VC in the meantime?

OMG, RAYMAN ORIGINS!!! I AM SO GETTING THIS GAME!

Part Two of the Guild-02 season --> check

I'll punt for Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo at that price.

Luigi U, Trine 2 and Little Inferno For Me! hehe

Wow thats alot. I want to get the Luigi DLC but I really want it retail.

I don't want to spend money to buy another "New" Super Mario Bros on the same console.I'm saving for Ducktales,Tropical Freeze,Super Mario 3D World,Sonic Lost World and Super Smash Bros.4.

@SilentHunter382 , I want the retail version too but I'm thinking maybe it's better off getting the DLC, playing it to death and keeping the retail game in a nice sealed box just in case it ever becomes valuable.

Seriously, still no Megaman X for Europe? Sigh.

Defenders of Oasis should be another good GG title. Will also probably get Tails' Adventure (GG).
Will get the Luigi DLC later down the line, as i haven't got too far into NSMBU yet, really enjoyed what i played so far.
Not sure about Mario Bros (NES) on Wii U. I really like the game, but i already have it in Yoshi's Island (3DS) and Super Mario All Stars/SMB3.
Good discount on Super Little Acorns, looked like a good game too.

@suzzopher June 27th.

Massive update, but nothing to get excited about.

Can I ask why NintendoLife keeps reviewing the games when they end up on a different platform? Surely it's a bit pointless reviewing Yoshi as you did last week when it was reviewed for 3DS only last year (or the year before maybe?)... Same goes with the Mario Bros game. How is it going to be any different to the Wii VC version at all?

@RetrogamerFan

SLA3DT is pretty good, yes. I loved challenge mode. It does get repetitive after a while, but you can't go wrong with it at €2,50.

I'll get Super Little Acorns and maybe Bugs vs. Tanks. The latter doesn't look very good but it's a Guild game coming from Inafune, it deserves a chance. I'm waiting for the reviews.

Where is cave story + for 3DS ?

@Nintenjoe64 The only reason I would get it as a download is that it is €10 cheaper.

Tails Adventure HIP HIP HURRAAAA!!!

Nothing for me. I'll be waiting for the retail version of New Super Luigi U

@CliffordB: Stop hatin' bro. You guys got Mega Man 6 last week, not too mention a stellar amount of titles this week.

they should sell the ok go videos on eshop, they had 2 on nintendo video a while ago

I would get Luigi U if I had a Wii U and NSMBU, but I do not unfortunately... Might consider Super Little Acorns after I look up some gameplay, and I'll wait for a review on BUGS vs. TANKS.

Then again, I still have Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion 2 to finish, I'm getting Monster Hunter tomorrow in the post and Animal Crossing through So Many Games... We'll see

Cool! Luigi it is then and the GG awesomeness... Chakan GG is getting closer I can feel it

Super little acorns deserves à sport on every 3ds. Its that great!

Will be waiting for the retail version of Luigi.

@MilesVor I really was hoping to see Megaman X this week too. Seems like it might never be released at this rate.

dont look like any of those game gears are coming to usa this week

Hope we in NA get those game gear games Thursday as well.

I'll be getting New Super Luigi U and Maga Man VC game, as i'm playing The Last Of Us at the moment. So i'll will probably buy some more VC games after i've finished some of the games i'm already playing. Cannot wait for Ducktales & Castle of illusions,

I for one will just play animal crssing and hope that attack of the friday monsters will be released soon.

@KnightRider666

I don't mean no offence, but, as I said (and rightly IMO) the VC so far on the Wii U has being no more than a major disappointment, we all know about the lack of releases on the Wii U, and I just feel that Nintendo should be putting far more effort into the VC, it's bad enough that no GameCube games have come to the VC or even been announced, but, not even having any N64 games on the VC is ridiculous.

@CliffordB: You do have a point there. I'm still not satisfied with the 3DS's VC either, but it is improving with time. I don't understand why Nintendo can't pump out a constant flow of titles to the VC each week.

@KnightRider666

Exactly, it makes no sense why Nintendo is holding back so many games on the VC, especially ones that have already been released on the Wii VC, surely it would not have hurt them to at least have a few N64 titles up by now, things like SM64, MK64 etc. but, still nothing, all we keep getting is ancient NES games that the majority of people don't care about.

As I said with the lack of releases in general for the Wii U, Nintendo should be really making good use of the VC right now, it would help to tide us all over while we wait for Wii U releases, many not out until 2014.

@CliffordB: Very well, you made your point my friend. As for "the ancient NES titles" that nobody cares about... I love NES games. I don't know how old you are, but they were part of my childhood, and a great part at that. I have a fine appreciation for retro gaming.

Wow there's so much to download this week!! I'm gonna have to stay my hand & try to avoid buying too much haha. I really want the Luigi DLC, despite it being rather expensive (at least when I think how much it'll be in North America) so I'm gonna buy that when I can & I'll look into everything else & might get the 3DS discount & maybe some 3DSware. Awesome!

Because the NES games are way too hard for him to beat... Back in the olden days we didn't need save states, auto saves & infintile continues there were times when you had to leave your system running for days without turning it off before finally completing a game (Chakan)

Eh, I'm still waiting for Majora's Mask to show up on the VC. It probably will be a while though so I could catch up on some NES and SNES (well, NES this week) gaming in the meantime.
Edit: Wait, this is Europe... Oops

I hate to pay €10 for additional languages. I wish I could download from the UK eShop.

@Nightwalker Hi NightWalker i saw one of your comments about 3ds and funds transfering i share your pain i too live in Macedonia i ne znam sozo ti zboram angliski ama od kaj najde 3ds xl vo Makedonia od kaj go kupi nikade ne mozam da najdam i nigde nema igri

@KnightRider666

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against NES/SNES titles I also grew up with them, the point I was trying to make is that it would be nice to see something a little more modern/recent thrown into the mix.

I just feel many of the NES and to a lesser extent SNES titles have been seen a little to often now, that's just my take and feelings on it, I suppose I'd just like to be playing something a little more recent on my Wii U, this is just my own personal opinion.

@RupeeClock I hear you brother about Cave Story its getting silly how long thats taking now, however ive been waiting for Super Little Acorns 3D to get reduced so now ill jump in and try this little gem £5 no £2.50 YES.

What is going on with the £/€ conversions? It's bonkers!

€4.99 = £4.49 is fine but how can €4.99 also be £3.49?
Looks like us € people are getting a poor deal! But even worse...

€19.99 = £17.99 (fine) but then €24.99 = £11.99 which is taking the p1ss.

I've been waiting ages for Defenders of Oasis, I can't believe it's gonna be out this week! Man, I'm up to my head with games, you caught me at a bad time Nintendo! I have Animal Crossing: New Leaf, The Denpa Men 2: Beyond the Waves and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity to play (although I already bet the main story and bonus story of PMD, I am playing through DLC and building my paradise up).

I just asked my local game store how much Luigi would cost retail and they answered a whopping €40,-. That's a €10,- step-up from what you would expect, and €20,- more than the download version. Ugh. I really want the retail one but with prices like these... I dunno.

@Yosher buy it online, im sure it will be 30. But us Europeans prices are always higher...

Luigi DLC is good value, less than £20, I was expecting it cost £30 due it essentially a game in itself albeit using NSMBU world map, and obviously assets to build the new levels.
Maybe it's because I'me so used to dlc being high priced for what you actually get on ps3.

@ScorpionMG Usually though, when a game in the US is $40, then the game in Europe will be €40. So you'd expect the same for a game costing $30 in the US, having it cost €30 in Europe.

Meh, I'll see whether or not I'll get it retail or not. I really really really prefer retail a ton more over digital, but when they pull this kind of crap... ugh.

Another very disappointing offering on eshop for the Wii U this week. Luigi U is just Mario dressed up with a new move or two. Why do Nintendo keep giving us 2d side scrollers from NES and for the Wii U? This isn't what we want, we've moved forward. Pre-ordered my PS4 and was going to keep my Wii U but unless Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3 turn out to be amazing games, it's going to be traded in near Xmas. I'll pick another one up when SSB and MK8 get released.

I was happy after E3 but the winter releases are a long way off and there's only so much Black Ops 2 I can play until then.

Was waiting for Witch Cat, but AFTER Raby Labi 2, why they skipped a title? >.<;

Anyway lovely week, it's great when it takes time for read all the new coming titles =D

I've all but given up on the Wii U's VC. It's just a joke at this point.

i'll get luigi u as a standalone, i just need to have my physical copies. bugs vs tanks will have to wait till it gets a discount. and let that be the reason i'll get Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo. i already have most the vc games anyway.

hurray for gamegear! **Wonders if dreamcast games could ever be converted to 3DS**

@KnightRider666 same here. Im still of the oppinion 5 games a week should be getting pumped out on VC but I guess someone doesn't agree with that. how hard is it to convert a game to VC? and.......doesn't Nintendo like making money? Haha

@knightrider666:I second that motion! Stop hatin' yo!!

Europe's getting a huge amount of content this week. I wonder if America will as well.

Great update for Europe. I hope NA's is great, too.

Oh wow, mini game collection and gardenscapes are like 4 times more expensive than here!

Wow, look at all that content!

Great job Nintendo, that's the kind of thing that will make people eagerly await the eShop updates. I remember back in the early days of VC on Wii, it felt kind of similar.

With New Luigi, will it be better to buy or download. If you download, will you will be able to play the Mario version. If you buy, do you get both Luigi and Mario Bros versions? If you get both with the bought version (provided its cheap), that's a bargain.

New Super Luigi U will be the first Mario themed platformer I don't buy as I never completed NSMBU proper.

I'm down for Defenders of Oasis though as I loved Beyond Oasis on Genesis.

I want to get into Bugs vs. Tanks since it's from Inafune but the vids I've seen make it look so terrible.

Hey! I used to play Tails' Adventure on the Gems Collection when I was a kid.
How 'bout that? Guess I'll be giving it a go again.

Tails Adventure? YES!! THAT is the Game Gear game I've been waiting for. Instant buy and nearly completes what I personally wanted out of the 3DS VC. Just Pokemon to go to complete the portable retro package I want.

New Super Luigi U is a buy for sure too. Maybe Little Inferno as well.

I'm hoping that NA will get Mega Man 6 on the 20th. If it does, I'll use a digital promo code to get it virtually free. I also want to get Super Luigi U which will give me another deluxe promo code.

@CliffordB: Again, you made your point(You're on a roll here;)). Too many VC game repeats from console to console.

@Windy: There has to be some reason beyond our grasp for this. Probably a marketing ploy or sorts, but it's more like chinese water torture to me; giving up drips of games at a time.

Ill pick up New super Luigi U when it hits retail.

Is there any news on what's due to hit the Wii U eShop this Thursday yet?

Thanks.
