Nintendo Download: 3rd October (North America)

One vote. No particularly interesting games.

TNT Racers, finally! Should get it when I get home tonight.

The Little Inferno promotion sounds good, too. I'm just afraid that, from what I've seen of the game, it'll get boring fast. Is there anything more to it than burning stuff? Any sort of strategy at all?

This game drought has got to stop. i am sick of watching all these Nintendo Directs and nothing ever comes out!! i haven't bought a game in months!!!!!

sorry for the rant

I'll be getting Little Inferno I've been waiting for it to go on sale.

I've always wanted to get Rhythm Thief... maybe I'll download it if the price is good!

Glad I'm getting physical copy of WWHD tomorrow! This line up isn't very exciting.....TNT Racers maybe????

Ninty needs to tighten up on the VC releases. This is getting depressing......

@ArkOne77
They need to make it RAIN VC games.

Getting Rhythm Thief because I lost my retail copy. I just hope it's only 29.99 or less.

Sigh
I want Flipnote 3D.
Not that I was expecting it today, but it's been "delayed" two months already.
COME ON!!!!!

@steamhare.......YES!!!!! .........YES THEY DO! Would've loved to have seen SMB3. Wonder why it takes so long!!!?!?!

Wait, US gets Picross e3 before Europe? That's a change. I want it

hopefully we get Final Fight: Guy sometime also!

I'll probably get Rhythm Thief if it's around $30.

I want Super Mario Kart

Where is Flipnote 3D? COME ON NINTENDO!

Glad to see so much for Rhythm Thief. It's one of my favorites.
@CapnPancakes That was it's retail price, so it should be.

Considering Little Inferno while it's on sale.

Where the heck is my N64 VC, SMB3, Chrono Trigger or FF1-6? Come on Ninty step it up.

I'd like to get TNT Racers, but I don't have much money at the moment, and getting this game isn't a top priority.

@muchB1663R Why not? I share your pain.

Still waiting for SMB3 to release so that I can update it to the WiiU version. Other than that, I'll see what the Club Rewards are Monday and wait for Wii Fit U and Wii Sports Club Bowling to appear.

.These games don't excite me..Wasnt shovel knight to be released by now? Im going to wait patiently for3d world to be released.Thank goodness im picking up Ww tomm from gamestop

That FF promo sounds good, as I want FF3 and I could use a SF. I will check on that later.

Thank goodness they put Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure on the eShop. I can't find that game anywhere, and I really enjoyed the demo.

Ok, Rhythm Thief it is. I might need another SD card with all these great titles coming out on the eShop though.

Nintendo, WHERE THE HELL IS SMB3?! That is all.

These updates i thought would get alot better, the 3ds is the king obviously.Its the system thats getting everything unlike the WiiU, which is still boring me to death.

"America can enjoy Jewel Quest 5" Riiiiiiight.

Nothing for me this week. I've still got alot of games to buy anyway.

No revenge of the gator again

Wait... WHAT? Rhythm Thief (North America) $19.99. Rhythm Thief (Europe) 44,99€. What's going on? I would download it instantly if it were 20€.

Nothing this week.

And I just got a Wii U as well but there really isn't anything I want to play on it...yet

I think that the speed of releases is great, theres nothing this week, but I have a bunch of games that I'm behind on Downloading.

Where's Super Mario Brothers 3???

@muchB1663R
There is no game drought for the 3DS. An eshop drought, yes, but the 3DS has not wanted for major releases this year. Almost every month has had at least one major release.

Unless you mean the Wii U, in which case I agree.

@VoiceOfReason I know right, and they haven't even mentioned it in any of the direct videos!!

justdance day 1

And my wait continues...
Mega Man II-V, where art thou?

RHYTHM THEIF!!!

Super Street Fighter IV 3D is on the eShop too. And it's only 19.99 too. God I am so tempted to download both games. But I am trying to save that money for Pokemon Y on the eShop.

I only have a 3DS and nothing good as of late. Hopefully the good stuff starts coming out soon. Also yes I mean the eShop because if I leave a hole in my sentence that's opened to interpretation someone has to use it to start an argument.

Wow looks like Rhythm Thief is (back) on the menu!
$20 is certainly in line with my budget for an eShop title.
celebrates

I'm so glad Rhythm Thief is on the eshop. The prices on Amazon for it are ridiculous ($38 bucks USED) and I haven't had a chance to play it yet victory dance

I'll get Rhythm Thief another time but I'm happy it's on the eShop

@muchB1663R
Scribblenauts unmasked?

my eshop keeps going down :/
-.-

Other Final Fight 2 & 3, everything else could just be ignore.

@Tasuki: Yeah, I am with you. I have Final Fight on PSN and Final Fight ONE on GBA so no reason to get the inferior SNES port. However, I do want Final Fight 2 & 3 on WiiU VC but since I have the two Street Fighter's that I wanted already during their previous sale, I want a buy 1 get 1 50% for Final Fight 2 & 3.

@TruenoGT: Thanks for the head's up on the promotion. I will wait to Final Fights appear on sale.

Guys, Little Inferno is actually $4.99 on the eShop - its original price is $9.99, remember?

@Tasuki Don't forget turning Poison & Roxy into full-fledged guys, changing "Oh my God!" to "Oh, my car!", missing a few frames of animation, missing the scene transitions (knocking down doors, etc.), and changing some of the boss names (Sodom = Katana, Damnd = Thrasher). Really, the only reason I'm buying the first game back is out of nostalgia, because it really does pale in comparison to the arcade, as well as the Sega CD and X68000 ports.

I go back and forth about which of the sequels I like better. Both are pretty solid games, though the second game "feels" more like the first Final Fight in terms of its game engine. Which of course is a huge plus.

Been waiting for Little Inferno to go on sale.

I'm not interested in downloading crap this week so.....nothing.

Been trying to find a copy of Rhythm Thief for $20 for a while, since I saw it on sale for that price at EB but couldn't find a copy at local stores. Was sort of hoping it would come to the eShop. Yay!

Like others...I'm getting FF2&3. Other than that, nothing else. I have to save my loot for some upcoming games.

I was going to get a Final Fight game and pick up SSF2, but I don't know Final Fight well (the only game I have played like, at all is Mighty Final Fight) and I wanted to know which one I should get. You've all made it clear to me! Thanks.

I really want to pick up at least final fight 1 and 2. But I currently don't have final fight money

@mumof3kids82 The price is $20.

I wanted to know which one I should get.

Final Fight 3 is the best. But the first two have their charms too. FF3 has better quality backgrounds than FF2 but I find FF2 to have more interesting looking backgrounds than FF3 and more memorable music. Final Fight 3's backgrounds and music are kinda bland and lifeless. Final Fight 1 is a classic but like others have said, its a cut-down port of the arcade game. Yes, its inferior but I think its unfair to expect a more accurate port from at the time of its release. It was one of the very first SNES games and unlike Super Mario World and F-Zero for example, it was a port, not a game designed around the capabilities of the SNES. A more accurate port could have been released later but it would have been pointless to do so. Final Fight Guy was an unnecessary release IMO.

why can't they start putting good stuff on the 3ds eshop again

Rhythm Thief will become my 1st eShop full retail title purchase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That game is crazy expensive now over here in the US, I think the game sold very poorly over really hope it gets a 2nd life on the eShop!!!!!

Rhythm Thief
UK £39.99 is about $65
US $19.99 is around £ 12.30

and that is why I avoid the UK eshop. The games arrive late (if at all), over priced, and rarely receive a good discount.

Nintendo seriously need to step up with some pricing rules to make sure customers in different countries aren't ripped off like this anymore. The price should be the same, or as close as possible to the same, in each territory.

Oh, come on.

North America got Picross-e3 but Europe didn't?

Load of nonsense.

@muchB1663R
Not on VC, no, and I'm getting sick of that myself. But as for retail releases there are so many games hitting us on Wii U and 3DS I can't even count. SIX new games for my Wii U in just the last 60 days, and 3DS has been consistent all this year with Fire Emblem: Awakening, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, DKC Returns, Animal Crossing, SMT 4, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, and soon Pokémon X/Y, Sonic Lost World, Zelda Link Between Worlds and Mario Party: Island Tour.

For those of you complaining about the eShop drought, go check Nintendo's official Youtube channel. They just posted trailers for 8 different indie games that are releasing in the next few weeks. Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails, Treasurenauts, Grinsia, Knytt Underground, Armillo, and Siesta Fiesta on the Wii U eShop, and Jett Rocket II and Retro City Rampage on the 3DS eShop.

All three Final Fight games at once? That's a pretty cool surprise.

@ricklongo

What you can do in Little Inferno is to make "combos", this is to burn two or more particular objects at once to get an achievement. There are around 90 of those, and similar to achievements its name hints to what you need to do.

I got it when it was discounted a few years back and I did not regret it.

Whaaaaaaat!?! Why is Rhythm Thief $19.99 in america and £40 in the UK!? That's just atrocious.

@muchB1663R Plenty of good games have come out. What are you talking about? There has been a drought for a weeks, tops. If you have 3DS, buy Steamwold Dig. Game is basically averaging a 9 on reviews. What more do you want?

Just a heads up, I bought Final Fight 3 for 1.50 using the upgrade discount and it unlocked the discount for Street Fighter! More gaming for your buck!

@XCWarrior Depends what your tastes are - it is not like with the SNES where every month there was something really good for pretty much everybody.

These discounts are going to kill me, Bit.Trip.Runner 2, Fiery Inferno, FF/SF combo discounts and MH3U back at half off today only... whelp, see ya, money!

@Captain_Gonru - Creepy isnt good. My wife didn't want the kids playing Puppeteer after the demo and that game is hilarious, same self aware style as Kd Icarus.

Thanks for the heads up.

I want a physical Rhythm Thief but I've been having trouble finding it.

I want a physical Rhythm Thief but I've been having trouble finding it.

@muchB1663R So you're saying you didn't buy Pikmin 3? What is wrong with you?

I snagged both Final Fight 1 and 3, as well as taking advantage of the Street Fighter promotion. I love beat-em-ups and I wanted to have a fighter available to play on my Wii U gamepad

No VC again... Europe, you can have our Picross e3, I want the 3DS Virtual Console games you have.

What a useless week for the 3DS! No NES VC 2 weeks in a row? Still waiting for to catch up with EU(Star Soldier, River City Ransom, and Milon's Secret Castle). C'mon Nintendo...

@Obito_Tennyson: I feel your pain.

but... b.. bu... but where?!... Where are the Nintendo 64 games for Wii U VC at?............

whoever hasn't tried witch and hero yet, try it now. it's addicting and the last level is impossible to beat (I have all the upgrades and still can't do it, but the game up to that point was fun)

hey final fight, streets of rage called and left you a message, they want to kick yer a**!

@ogo79 Streets of Rage beware though, Final Fight has back up (Street Fighter).

Just Witch and Hero demo for me... probably for the best since I don't have much money anyway and the little I have to spare is for a couple of eshop titles I've been eyeing. Honestly... I'll be pissed if something I want comes to the VC next week. X-D

@unrandomsam In this case, that's no excuse. Unless you only like one type of genre, there have been plenty of good 3DS eshop titles that have been released recently. He's just complaining to complain and won't try new IPs.

The VCA version of Final Fight never arrived. I dowloaded the 2 and 3 years ago and i keep waiting FF 1 for arcade. I think i will go for SNES version.

@retro_player_22
street fighter is a 1 on 1 game, at least yer admitting SOR is better than final fight, yer case is more than dismissed

@feelthesarcasm: You can get Rhythm Thief at Gamestop used for $17.99!

@ThomasBW84 - Might want to update it again, Little Inferno is $4.99, on sale from $9.99. (here in NY).

I know its only $2.49 less than $7.49 but I might buy it now.

PS - Wii U internet acess is so much better wired with my old Nyko Wii adaptor.

@ogo79
Well that's true; however, Final Fight was originally called Street Fighter '89 back when Streets of Rage was non-existence so if Streets of Rage wants a fight they had to deal with the rest of the other Street Fighter too (not counting SF 2010). Remember Final Fight had already taken it to the streets even before Bare Knuckle got the streets in their game.

Lengthy list, not many games to be wanted. 45% of people so far aren't getting anything this week.
And developers honestly don't even try with DSiWare anymore. What happened to the awesome games that all wanted to play? Those who can't get a 3DS or a Wii U until Christmas or something have to enjoy their DSi. These people ruin it with their half-hearted games.

Has there been a worse week?
