Nintendo Download: 4th July (Europe)

I just bought Mighty Switch Force HD ... ah well, my body was ready. Looking forward to trying Pilotwings for the first time.

Nah, I´ll wait till they release Shantae on eShop later this month.

I'll get Might Switch Force for that price, was waiting until I got a Wii U but I can't argue with £3.60. Also getting the physical version of Project X Zone.

i already have paid full price for the discounts and project X zone needs to be boxed for me.

Nothing for me, but it's a good week. SEGA still going strong with the Game Gear which is nice!

I will however, buy Project X Zone physically.

I was tempted by Master of Darkness as I always wanted it when I was a kid, I had a magazine which posted a guide with the layout of all the levels and back then I thought it looked really good. But I've recently watched a brief Lets Play video on YouTube and it looks just awful, like a poor platformer with too many floating enemies.

Why release a title now for the Wii VC and not the Wii U VC........

How many "The King of Fighters" games are there? And what do they want?

Am I the only one who thinks £5.49 for old SNES games is abit of a rip off? Yeah Pilotwings is great, but it is getting very expensive to buy these games, esp when Android games are a fraction of the price.

Absolutely nothing worthwhile for me this week. Maybe Project X Zone and I'll look into Sonic Drift 2, other than that it's a pretty abysmal week. :/

Please Nicalis give us Cave story + for 3DS

Still no Capcom?

Cmon Nintendo, bring the n64 (and preferably gamecube) games to the wii u eshop!
I wanna play Waverace and Majoras Mask on the gamepad!

I'm so very tempted by Pilotwings right now...

Pilot Wings Is MUST buy.

@ThumperUK
I suppose it depends on what you value. I see something like this Pilotwings as worth the price. If Nintendo stick to these prices and they sell well enough, I think it reflects well on the value of Nintendo's history.

That said, I'd only pay for Pilotwings with clarification that its an uncompromising version. The "optimized" PAL Balloon Fight from last week is a shambles.

I wish there was a new console pilotwings, will be picking this up again on thursday though

@Sonic_Phantom, know exactly what you mean, I wish Pilotwings, SMW, F-Zero etc were each a couple of quid cheaper, but can't see them being put on sale anytime soon. Think they would sell a lot more of them if they were £3.99 each or something.

Nothing for me but it is not a problem. My backlog is scary and looks at me in a very awkward way...

SPOILERS ALERT!

So i might already have Project X Zone here in Italy. I got i saturday, D1 break to the rescue!

How to prove it...mmm. Let's say i saw Morrigan, Chun-Li, Akira, Bahn and Pai Chan go in an office of some young lady that has a lot of money after beating a large but weak group of guys lead by Drei Belanos.

3 hours in, not trying to rush, amazing game. Another never before seen combo of gameplay from Monolith Soft.

I love Pilotwings but I can't bring myself to buy it again. They could have at least released the N64 version instead...

Pilotwings was amazing back in the day and still pretty fun today, but it hasn't aged so well. I just find it dificult to go back to after the sheer awsomeness of Pilotwings 64, i really enjoyed Pilotwings Resort too.
According to the list of GG games i saw in Retrogamer, that's it for the game gear games for a little while. I'm sure the article listed both Sonic Drift 1 & 2, but i think Sega were wise to skip the first, i played it on one of the gamecube Sonic collections/Sonic Adventure DX (can't remember where exactly) and it was rubbish.
Never been that interested in G-loc and already have Master of Darkness as an SMS cartridge, it's a pretty decent Castlevania type game.

@ICHIkatakuri - Me too.

Also a "proper" one with the original characters instead of the Mii and more than one stupid island to fly around like on the 3DS version.

While that was fun to play it didn't feel like Pilotwings and the amount of content equaled a typical tech demo not a full price retail game.

I don't expect anymore CaveStory+ so it's no more a problem to not being released... sorry Nicalis, you're too late !

Wasn't Sonic Drift 2 called Sonic Drift Racing in Europe?

I'll pick up Project X Zone, eventually

@Araknie
Why would you want to prove that you got the game early..no one cares...

@manu0 True, but it's still cool to hear another gamer discuss how much they like it.

@datamonkey I haven't tried the 3DS version I was put off with the use of the Wii Sports resort style island and the mii characters, Pilotwings on the NES was awesome as you got these increasingly hard areas to get used to then given a desert strike themed helicopter stage to rescue instructors every 4 levels, it made it interesting and fresh all the way through and the N64 version was just bonkers chasing robots around with your gyrocopter!

@manu0 So what? I'm that way. I want to be proud of my collection and gaming feats and i'll say them whenever i want.

Welcome in the free internet.

nothing for me this time i got pilotwins VC on my wii from club nintendo last time which was good price i say then it is now

So Sega seem to be clearing out all the Gamegear games..Does that mean they're making way for something else? 3D Classics and Megadrive games? Also I hate Nintendo for no SNES games on 3DS :

@manu0 you're a meanie-beanie-fo-feanie. :< He's just happy... didn't do anything wrong. :<<<< be nice.

just curious, has the virtual console promotion finished now?

@bahooney
I thought it was pretty pretentious that he wanted to prove he got the game a few days early because he thinks no one will ever believe his incredible feat.
Whatever...

Now all I need is Sonic Chaos, because no one needs Sonic Spinball GG. It might have more bugs than 'O6.

Looks like my 3DSXL is taking me back, way back to a time of epic SEGS awesomeness... Megadrive 3D classics will blow everything else out of the water FTW!

Damm does anyone know if Pilotwings is coming out on 3DS as id buy that one immediately..

@manu0 Pretentious?! Dude, I remember back in 2008 Brawl got released like a week early at Sears, it was this huge fiasco. My friend managed to snag a copy, I was beyond stoked. Admit it. If you got a game early that you had been anticipating for a long time, you'd be stoked.

@bahooney
I guess you're right

Still No cave story! That keeps my Boycot of Nicalis alive. There are a couple games I hadn't bought and wont buy till Nicalis gets cave story to Europe.

Sega is breaking out the Vault! I wish Nintendo would do the same for VC. Sega is Putting you too shame right now on VC Nintendo

Unsure to get Mighty Switch Force on Wii U or 3DS, hmmm...

Oh tough luck for me. If G-LOC comes this week to NA, I won't be able to get it. I'll be using my $20 to get a PSN card instead of Farming Simulator on the Vita and the 2 The Pinball Arcade table packs. Darnit.

I feel it depends on the game. I gladly paid $5 for Megaman 3 yesterday. Other NES games are definitely not that good, so their price should be lower. Kinda like they did with Gameboy games where some are lower priced than others.

@JuliaHR

If you do not need the portability, then by all means get the Wii U version. It has more content as you have the Hyper Drive levels, and those sprites look amazing on an HD screen.

Yes! Time to roll out my "I love Pilotwings" photo again.

Wii U's Mighty Switch Force is still too expensive for me since i own the 3DS version. If it ever goes down to 5 € again it will definitly be mine.
Waiting for reviews for the GG games.
I also wonder if Pilotwings is the 60Hz or US version of the game.

Oh whaaat G-LOC? That's awesome, I really enjoyed that one on GG. I can't imagine it holds up well at all now but I might give it a shake.

@Frapp Your Exactly right about Nintendo and the VC Service! Whose in charge of VC. YOUR FIRED!

@Frapp This is why you don't run Nintendo.

£3 for GameCube games -_-

@ThumperUK £5.49 for A Link to the Past and Super Mario World is not a rip off.

Why are there 200 point DSiWare games which are completely new and old VC games on 3DS cost more? Shouldn't the lowest priced VC game be the same as the lowest priced DSiWare game? Or am I missing something?

@Frapp It simply doesn't make business sense at all. If Super Marios 64 and Sunshine wrre available together for less than £5, that would likely affect sales of Super Mario 3D World.

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are simply worth far, far more than £2. Any gamer could tell you that. It's not about how OLD the game is, it's the quality of the game. Who are you to say Metroid Other M is worth more than Metroid 1-4 and Prime 1-2 combined?

Balloon Fight may not be worth £3.50 in this day and age, but Zelda is.

Honestly, if you wouldn't pay £5 for A Link to the Past then you're the one with the problem.

Sorry to be blunt, but Nintendo are in business to make money. If the current prices are proving effective then they will stick with them. I'm pretty sure they've conducted market research on this.

@RetrogamerFan: You're right, but we may get Mega Man for the Game Gear still. I'm keeping my fingers crossed tightly:)

Project X Zone is fun but it's easy... still if you are starving for RPG's on your 3DS it's not bad.. however for cheaper you could get Shining Force: Sword of Haya, Defenders of Oasis, and Crystal Warriors.. and have just as much fun and possibly more play time and challenge than X Zone... but hey.. the choice is up to you all..

@C-Olimar I agree mostly with you, but, I do wish Nintendo were more flexible with there prices. I've re bought a tonne of their games off vc but there are many I haven't gone near because of the price. If they dropped the price of some of the lesser games then BAM, Nintendo would be getting a lot more money out of me. Agree that Zeldas and Marios are worth a lot more then 2 bucks though

Aww.. No firework games for the 4th?!

Hah.. oh well. I'm definitely gonna check out the old PilotWings game since I never got to play it. Resort is really good so this should be an interesting run.

@MeWario I agree. Nintendo need to more open to changung the prices. For example, while Metroid and Super Mario Bros may be worth £3.50, but Mario Bros and Ice Climber just aren't.

@Supremeist Well, not in Europe no...

99Moves for me

I'd like to get pilot wings but only for £1.50, I've got it on two wii's and a snes version but I won't pay anymore...
