Nintendo Download: 14th November (Europe)

Yes, more Picross.

Isn't Lego Marvel Super Heroes suppose to be out this Friday? Or is it not available as a download?

PICROSS E-3!!! Woop, about bloody time!

My Christmas money is safe for another week....again =(

A permanent discount for Splintercell already? Ouch.

Will buy Picross e3 sometime later, backlog is too big atm

I'm glad they realised Splinter Cell Blacklist was wayyy over priced. May pick it up soon.

Aww ..I was really hoping for Super Mario Bros. 3 this week

Oh well, I guess just Picross for me then.

@cornishlee : All versions have already plummeted to $29.95 at retail in Australia (US$28.05, UK£17.50, EU€20.95), so ouch indeed. I love the fact that a game like this has been made available on Wii U, but it's not the sort of game that I would ever have an interest in playing, I'm afraid.

No Megadrive 3D classics yet... This is great news for the redback spider that has made my 3DS its home

The Megadrive 3D classics have been dated for the last five or six weeks in the year.

And I wanted Mega Man II on GB. Already have X2 and don't have a Wii U.

I can finally play x2 hurray!

@sillygostly I kind of agree, although probably for different reasons. If Hitman released on the Wii U I'd buy it day one but the all-American-heroness of this title puts me off.

@cornishlee

Tbf it was horrendously overpriced on eShop to begin with.

@MadAussieBloke Redback spider? You might just wanna throw your 3DS away and get another one.

As for the topic, it's kind of cool that Madagascar 3 and the Croods has a double pack, I think it's the first 3DS game to have two retail titles bundled on one cartridge.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
dammd ubisoft!!!!!

last time i ever buy one of their games at launch.

£55.99 I paid for splinter cell only a couple of month ago and I've hardly played it. Thats a rip of almost £20 I could have spent on something else!!!!!!

Where's X2 for NA!?! Hopefully soon.

They better release X2 in NA this week.

@FishieFish Yeah, I named it Freddy

@MadAussieBloke:
Arachnophobes (not me, my phobia involves other critters altogether) are gonna love that pic. <3

As for me, though, nope, nothing at all. I just want Flipnote on my 3DS and start animating stuff.

Nice to see Picross e3 arriving. Those are great games and the pricing is also alright.

Sloooow week again.

3DS Virtual Console being ignored once again. This is really getting to be a pain!

Aww... I was hoping for GB Mega Mans. Nothing for me this week.

Splinter Cell was overpriced anyway but its the removal of the local co-op that killed it for me.

70 euros for splinter cell was ridiculous,
will be getting toki tori 1 and bowling this week

• Going to Pre order Mario 3d World and pikmin 3 for our xmas presents

@DESS-M-8 that's why i never buy 3rd party games on release, too expensive
Will probably wait until next year to get ac4

Still disappointed about the VC's glacial pace, but I'm definitely getting Mega Man X2 should it come to the Americas this week.

What's the point in discounting Splinter Cell from £55 to £45? It was horrendously overpriced and still is! Can get it for £20 physical and you can get any brand new game physically for £30-35.

This should have been reduced to under £30, even then it would be expensive.

I am still boycotting the eshop until there is a unified account system.

Mr Whitehead can you please add a "boycotting eshop until Nintendo sort unified account system" option to your poll from now on please?

Was expecting the DLC case for Ace Attorney 5. Next week it is then.

Finally Picross E3! Will pick up MMX2 for sure as well.

YOU LUCKY EUROPEANS! I've been after X2 on Wii U for forever! Hope it comes over here this week.

I would hope that the sooner X2 comes, the sooner X3 comes. I don't know if it'll happen or not, but here's hoping!

@Kyoto

Same here!

€70 for any game is crazy.

It seems to be their new pattern: release a game way overpriced, then bring it down to what a full-price game should be and call it a discount.

€45 is still too much for me. I have a big backlog of games that I don't have time to play, so I only tend to buy games once they're €20 or less.

(just realised I paid €60-€70 per game on Sonic and Tekken when the Wii U launched - but you expect to shell out a lot of money on games when a console first comes out )

Nothing. Again.

@eza - I agree. Nintendo's eshop prices, especially for retail titles is rather ridiculous...

Mega Man X2 in the States better be this week.

I don't think it's a matter of the games being expensive but more to do with you people getting off the couch and start earning the big cash to fund your hobby... From what I'm hearing and starting to see in stores is the price of PSBOX41 games being AU$100+

I want Mega Man 5 GB (never released in Europe), I´ve already played trough 1-4. Just release those already. X2 is great too, I´m still in 2nd part of the final stage thoigh.

@datamonkey
Haha, yeah do that!

I will get Picross e3 for sure. And I have to say that Secret Agent Files: Miami have me intrigued. Will wait for a review though.

@ScorpionMG my thoughts exactly

I'm still waiting for A Link to the Past on Wii U VC

Where is Wii U Party?

@Sean_Aaron
On Australia's eShop.

Finally gunna get a chance to play X2!....if it comes to NA this week, that is. I've been waiting for the WiiU VC version since I don't have Wii shop credits anymore, so I'm super excited that it might arrive for us too!

@MadAussieBloke I've got the money, it's not being able to afford it that's the issue.

£45 for a digital game is insane when a brand new physical copy can be purchased for £19.99 and the absolute most you can find it for in any store is £35. I wouldn't feel any different about this if I was a millionaire.

Also even PS4 and Xbox One games are £40-50 in the UK at most, just to let you know how ridiculous it is to ask this amount for Splinter Cell on Wii U. Even those will drop soon as launch game prices are always high.

I'm sorry games are so expensive in Australia and I hope Nintendo and other companies get their act together over there but I don't think the solution to hugely overpriced games is to get a better job!

You poor guys. US is awesome this Thursday. World Conquest 3D, Jewel Match 3, Word Wizard (blah) and Senran http://www.nintendo.com/games/gameGuide?age=18&page=2&view=grid&sort=&source=

Going to get World Conquest looks awesome.

@Goginho I'm expecting SMB3 the day before SM3DW is released.... I wonder if Ninty will release LTTP as well to celebrate the new Zelda game

@PorllM Publishers don't control the import taxes/vats. Publishers are not setting the price to charge one region more than another. The prices are higher because these regions government, the price difference is to compensate for the local laws, the publishers still bring the exact same money they do from people in England and Australia, but the government eats that difference up.

People get the government they deserve (vote for)..... It's hardly fair to blame publishers for this

@datamonkey You mean the publishers' prices are ridiculous

@element187 Oh I sure hope so. Seems logical to me, due to the connection of both Zelda titles. That would mean, however, we'd need SNES VC, what we haven't gotten yet.

@element187 I didn't blame publishers at all? I was talking about the ridiculous overcharge that Splinter Cell is digitally compared to the physical version, not the difference in price between countries. If Ubi can sell ZombiU for £15.99 they can sell Splinter Cell for a reasonable price.

_{Use the "edit" button next time. -Lz}

Iwata: "I feel that we have not been able to take full advantage of our assets yet, so we would like to enrich our Virtual Console lineup."
(continues to do nothing)

Splinter cell still too steep. The original price was ridiculous though. I'd be glad to support Ubisoft but what can you do when you have a limited budget.

Ahh, I saw the title and thought it was going to be the rest of the Mega Man Game Boy games.

Of course X2 is a dad-gum masterpiece so I'm not complaining at all.

Oh boy, it's a Megaman!

Er...ahem...excuse me,im so sorry for my forwardness...but er, wasnt there a little trailer at e3 of all these indy games coming to wiiu this year? Ha ha dont worry im sure its my idiocy and lack of been able to tell what year it is,clearly its not 2013, im so so sorry for suggesting such an outlandish year,its just my own ineptitude is spurring visions of a trailer including 20-30 indy games. And clearly my memory plays tricks on me but its just we havnt seen any of them yet...
Im sure nintendo can point out that it is infact 2006 and those indy games are a long way away im so very sorry for my brashness.
yours most humbley, Mr S. Arcastic

PICROSS!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Wait now they have two game combos available for download too?

Heh reminds me of the GBA era.

Mega Man X2. Hell yes.

@Yasume "maybe next week" has this been site's unofficial mantra since 2006. No good games this week? Maybe next week. It was repeated for weeks in a row.

@JohnG: At least you guys have City Connection & River City Ransom. You're 2 NES games up on NA.

Still no Cave Story? **Scratches Head**

@KnightRider666 Don't forget they have Blaster Master on 3DS too.

@Giygas_95: You mean the GBC enemy below, right?

@KnightRider666 No, they have the original NES title on 3DS as well as Enemy Below. They're getting close to having the NES game a year while we haven't even seen it on 3DS yet.

Kind of irritating!

Damn them! I want that too!

Didn't see blacklist coming...

It's another "meh" week for me.

Yup, Iwata is all talk sadly. This is dismal, they truly don't care.

Does this mean that NA will get MMX2?

Does this mean that NA will get MMX2?

Idk what nintendo is doing keeping the SNES and GBA titles off of the 3DS! Saving potential sales for a rainy day I guess? Instead the 3DS gets Secret agent: Miami (not hotline miami). The 3DS weekly games are unfortunately weak.

SEGA 3D CLASSICS say no more sort it out nintendo of europe.
