Nintendo Download: 22nd August (Europe)

Good thing there's a promo for the Street Fighters. But I don't know if I really need three of them...what is the best version?

Splinter Cell £55.99!? That seems really pricey.

This is a pretty huge week for Europe. Hoping for a good week in NA.

Sweeet !! W101 at 50 euro ? Man, gotta love Nintendo's pricing !! ^^

@-KwB- ikr? I think it's better like that, i don't like games that start 60-70 euros, i think its a bit too much for just a game. While nintendo keeps on pricing their games in a reasonable price

What!? 70€ for blacklist... really too high. I'll wait for a price drop.

Interested in Cut the Rope and that's it. Not a bad week, options wise, but pretty meh...

@ScorpionMG Yes, 60 euros would be a NO, now that I know it's 10 euros cheaper, I'll get it ! Maybe that's what Nintendo is trying to pull

@mrkuribo: I'm a bit confused as well. Why would Capcom need to release three similar-looking Street Fighter games in a single week? To answer your question, I found The New Challengers to be great value-for-money, with more characters than the other two.

£56 / 70€ for Blacklst is madness! You can preorder the boxed copy for £36ish...
lol at the Street Fighter "special offer." Is it odd that they come out this week, so soon after saying Ultra SF4 won't be coming to Wii U?

TW101 is 50, Blacklist is 70. 6 months from now, TW101 40, Blacklist 30: and then, though not significant imo, there isn't local co-op (yet) on it. I can't buy your game on my platform Ubisoft, better be competitive.

What a huge amount of titles available this week. Still nothing for me though

I'm going to pick up W101 when I can & I was planning on downloading Splinter Cell: Blacklist but not anymore! ~$100 AUD is wayyyy too much for me. Also may pick up Giana Sisters on discount & may pick up Boulder Dash too one day. Lots of things to pick up this week!

Wonderful 101 for me this week.
Really appear to be the kind of game you never stop coming back for more, a perfect download-like title

I have Super Street Fighter II on Wii and I might eventually pick up Turbo on Wii U to see what I've been missing. Dunno why anyone would bother with the World Warrior though, it's slow and has less characters, maybe with the 3 for the price of 2 promotion.

What a horrible week for 3DS. A lot of shovelware ready to populate the eshop

SWEET FA as usual for me.

How much longer do we have to wait for something decent "GAMECUBE" on the VC? I still think the Wii U's VC is total c**p!

I already have ds Giana Sisters and the new one on one of my current gen consoles. Both great platform games.

@CliffordB GameCube on the VC? I would say you'll have to wait a very long time. At least N64 has been confirmed to be coming soon and I don't know why we haven't got any non-Nintendo consoles like Mega Drive or Turbografx already.

I'll be downloading the Giana sisters and grab all the street Fighters! Wonderfull 101 is a retail buy from me!

@CliffordB Says he with a Little Mac avatar, but then everyone has their own opinion I guess...

I'll get the 3 Street Fighter deal. With that and SFIV3D, that will make all the Street Fighter games ever released on Nintendo in my possession.

Splinter cell..... £56.....
are ubisoft taking the piss or what??
its £35 boxed in store.....

on the other hand, at least boulder dash will be here for 3ds this week, cant wait to get my retro on

@Samurai_Goroh Tell me about it, I just don't understand Nintendo's thinking half of the time, I've been a Nintendo fan since the days of the NES but they really frustrate me at times.

I'm convinced GameCube games on the VC would be so popular and sell by the bucket load for Nintendo, but instead of this they keep on releasing stuff that we've already seen on the Wii VC with the "odd" exception, so I just don't see the point.

IMO the Wii U VC is a total waste of space "in it's current form"

@mrkuribo Turbo and SSFII are both worth picking up but if i was pressed then i'd have to say SSFII. I'm not sure why they bothered with World Warrior though, as it's essentially the same game as Turbo but without all the extra characters and features.. I would have prefered to see Street Fighter Alpha 2 instead, the Super NES version was mightily impressive.

splinter cell is 69€

wth?

Ubisoft:You want to suport wiiu and ensure your products sell well on the system? Dont sell the digital non-refundable download of your games for £56 then! You doilums

@6ch6ris6 Oh, boy. I really wanted to give Ubisoft a helping hand as they've been supportive of Wii U, but that price is a commercial suicide. It will drop to €40 or less in a fortnight.

Splinter Cell is the same price on PSN aswell so its not nintendo setting the prices, greedy ubisoft is.

I already have all Streetfighters on the Wii VC (they weren't all available at the same time), so with the reduced conversion price to Wii U VC, do I still get 3 for the price of 2 ?

Ubisoft do need to sort their pricing out. £56 for a digital download is a P*ss take !

Shame there's no discounts this week.

I hope the US gets some NES VC on the 3DS this week. You guys in the EU have gotten 4 or 5 titles that we haven't even seen over here yet.

I don't have a Wii U (yet), so no W101 for me. And nothing else really interests me this week.

I had Solomon's Key for the NES, I am very VERY tempted to purchase it for my 3DS ...

Only game i'm definitely getting this week is Boulder Dash-XL 3D.
Still need to d/l W101 demo, as i'm undecided about that.
Solomon's Key is an excellent game, but i already have it on Wii U VC.
Not a big beat 'em-up fan so will be completely passing on SFII.
I will wait for a review of Great Giana Sisters. I find it odd thinking about playing a GGS game on a Nintendo machine, given the fate of the original game.

101 (physical) for me, football 3d would have been my choice for 3ds if it had online. I'll keep an eye out for fish on 3d.

I've been eagerly expecting Giana Sisters, but the price seems a little steep. I'll wait for the review before I take the plunge.

(It is coming to the Americas this week too, right?)

Oh nice, having owener Turbo and Super on the Wii, I might get them both again and pick up the original too. Not bad for £2.98.

What happened to GB/GBC games Nintendo? Still waiting for plenty of those on the 3DS VC. We can get NES games anywhere. :/

@Samurai_Goroh Only reason I can think of is a few cosmetic differences. Ordinarily regular SFII wouldn't be worth it except for completists, but if you can get it for free, why not?

Cut the Rope 4.99! Another .99 cent game in the IOs market and android Market gets the Mark up in the 3DS Market. Hmmmm... Frustrating... Maybe the 3D is great

I hope America and Europe get Sega 3D Classics next week.

Ouch! No love for the OG Street Fighter? That's cold. In any case the review on W101 was enough to make my decision for me. Thanks NL!

W101 and Splinter Cell are retail purchases for me. Street Fighter maybe, I'd want to play those again.

@mrkuribo depends... Many folk will say Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers, (probably due to the increased roster), others would say SF2: Hyper Fighting (my friends love this version as it has "faster attacks"), Me, I cut my teeth playing the OG SF2 at my local (insert locale here, pizza joint, convenience store, arcade, etc, etc, etc...) Don't know which to go with? Take The New Challengers, it'll be fun

When do you think we will see some N64 games come to the VC?

@Boxmonkey Soon I hope, I want to upgrade my copy of Sin and Punishment.

Thanks for Street Fighter promo, Capcom!!! I want more of these deals (looks at Mega Man).

But, where is Chronicles of Mystara? T_T

Wow, three versions of Street Fighter II?

@lbs Maybe they are testing the waters to see how big of a Street Fighter audience is on the Wii U?... if it sells like poop, they confirmed they made the right decision... if the VC games sell gangbusters they might put one on. Start a Miiverse revolution and get everyone to purchase it by visiting every channel and asking people to pick it up? I dont know.

Hmm, I have SFII on the Wii VC, so if I upgrade that and buy Turbo, I have Super for free.

Not bad for over £6. XD

I've got a physical copy of Wonderful 101 preordered, so won't be downloading that....will probably get Giana Sisters though as I'm only 20 points away from my next £5 E Shop Credit Wii U Premium Points code. As far as Street Fighter goes, it's a bit of a pointless offer as once you play Super Street Fighter 2, you'll likely never touch the other 2 versions again.

I'll take a look at Quick Fill Q as well, I've really liked the cheap Agetec downloads so far.

What, no Street Fighter II Alpha? To bad the newest edition of Street Fighter IV was not coming to the Wii U.

Unfortunately there is no Megadrive SFII Special Championship Edition... On the plus side I will get W101 & Blacklist

The wait continues for those Megadrive 3D classics of awesomeness...

All three versions of SFII in one week is probably just to get them out of the way quickly. Otherwise it would be World Warriors one week, Turbo Hyper Fighting the second week and Super the third week. And nobody would want that.

Turbo Hyper Fighting is still good. Its the original SF2 gameplay in the final incarnation of its purest form. So its still the choice for SF2 purists, They started changing the gameplay for Super and onwards but only hardcore fans who've played them all for many hours would really notice.

I'd only recommend Super to casuals though. You don't really need all three versions, even with the promotion. And if you're already a fan of the series, you probably have a collection disc with the arcade versions on anyway.

Im totally hyped about W101 and maybe if i got some money and time left ill pick blacklist up later

Most of the 3ds eshop games releasing this week dont have any pictures or trailers so its kinda hard to get hyped for them.

Cave story + for european 3DS eshop is not here
Why, could NL get some information from Nicalis? (they did not want to answer me through mail, facebook or tweeter)

I voted for Boulder Dash XL, because a portable Boulder Dash with 3D effects for 5€ is always a bargain.

@welsh_gamer There is a free Street Fighter game if you buy 2 of em - that is a nice discount for fans of that series

Wonderful 101 for me this week, and I'll get Boulderdash with my £5 cashback

I'd get Solomon's Key if it came to the US, but not until the holidays. I still have a lot of catching up to do with the games already on the Eshop.

Street Fighter II is showing on the NA Wii U marketplace, and it is going to be real tempting to pick it up. However, i probably will be picking up New Super Luigi U Saturday on Disc.

@Samurai_Goroh If you already have a Virtual Console title on your Wii you can always pay the small fee to upgrade. That is providing you migrated your settings to the Wii U. But yeah this Weeks VC releases almost doubled the VC library on Wii U.

@Cohort Perhaps that's why they're doing the special?

Although the first game is not quite the same as Turbo. There are some attacks missing from certain characters (like Chun Li's fireball) and the balance is different. I prefer Turbo myself, but there might be some purists out there who crave the original.

Easy with the puzzle games Nintendo.

heh, the old wii u cant handle the power of the sega genesis version of street fighter!

@WaxxyOne Turbo is basically an expansion pack of Champion Edition, it was only released down to hacked arcade cabinets at the time (Black Belt Edition etc..)

It's pretty much the equivalent of releasing Sensible Soccer + Sensible Soccer 1.1 + Sensible World of Soccer. Don't know why they didn't go Turbo, SSFII, ALPHA 2? Would have offered a more comprehensive experience of the street fighter series on the Super NES..

Who said "yeah, £56 seems right for Splinter Cell"?!

The street fighter things is...weird. Except for people who want the whole line of games (maybe for comparison reasons or out of nostalgia) who is even considering buying anything else then hyper fighting ?
A better deal would be full price for the first, 50% for the second and 25% for the third and last, or even better: full price for the first, 1€ for everything after that, since its pretty much the same game.
But since we are talking about capcom here, its no wonder sigh
And i wont talk about the pricing for blacklist -.- Thats just rude.
Im not sure about giana sisters. It looks quite good, but im kinda fed up with sidescrollers at the moment.

Why would you need three street fighter games? Super Street Fighter 2 is the best version and the only one you need. Wonderful 101 will be downloaded with 30% off when it goes live.

ive just started playing mario galaxy 2 so nothing for me for now

Funny, Blacklist is said to be available froim the 25th but its downloadable right now (22. Thursday) but W101, said to be released earlier on the 23. is not available...how unfair, the game i wanted gets released properly

One of the SFII games is only £1.49 so it's not like you're paying £11 for three games, only £8.
