Nintendo Download: 28th November (Europe)

Only Mario physical for me.

Nothing on this list appeals to me, and I'm getting a physical copy of Mario.

Lucky! We have to wait until February for Romance Dawn. D: <3

Only getting SM3DW physically.

@ThomasBW84 Maybe 3D Space Harrier.

I weep at the amount of 3DS shovelware on that list.

@ThomasBW84 I've never played any of the original versions, so I'm gonna hold out for a review and save the Sega 3D games for when there's a bit of a lull in my gaming agenda

"North American gamers" in the last paragraph, by the way.

Not a thing for me. But I have Zelda to keep me company so...

Crash 'n the Boys? Is that GIRL a boy too? 😁

Mario on disc, probably.

The quantity of shovelware that it's being release on the 3DS eShop is getting to my nerves. It's not only that it makes it harder to look for games but that it is turning in to a new DS or Wii. Freakin' shovelware and careless parents...

@Atariboy Have you played Super Hang On recently ? (I bought the VC Arcade version and I think it is mediocre).

What I really want is Afterburner 2 or newer stuff. (At least Manx TT Super Bike type quality if it is a pure racing game).

I'm buying Romance Dawn physically. That's all this week.

Screw Mario... Alright spidey, time to evict you out of my 3DS so I can get me some of that awesome SEGA 3D classic action

Again... DATA corrupted by the anti-download brigade. Get rid of the "nothing for me" vote, please! ^_^

I've never played the Wii U VC game... sounds interesting!

I wonder if Edge will come to Aus this week...

3D Space Harrier for me. Every week I cringe at those eShop prices. £50 for digital Mario or £35 physical.

I want to say that uncharted waters isn't a good choice for virtual console, there are better rpg like Card Master never released in europe, and from HAL!! SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHO IS CHOOISING those games.
&%$&%$/&$$%$%$$£££$

Uncharted Waters for me

Wii u VC

YAHOO!!!!! It'sa me, MARIO!!! I've been waiting for this since the day I 100% Super Mario Galaxy 2! I'm getting it day-1, hour-1, minute-1 as a download Can't wait! May get some of SEGA's 3D Classics one day, eventually. May also get Uncharted Waters eventually one day.

And boy, do I look forward to the immature whining on Miiverse about how nintendo doesn't release the same tired crap like city connection and kirby on the VC.

And all the hilarious Uncharted jokes...

Is SM3DW coming at thursday-friday midnight or later at friday like Wii Fit U?

Mario download. Buying code from Game for £42.99, no £49.99 for me and still downloading it at midnight.
AND get game reward points worth over £1 and nearly enough Nintendo network points for £5
Actual cost of downloading Mario? £37

@Zael
I'm not one to tell people what they should like, but the impression I got from people on Miiverse who were complaining about the choice was that they never even tried the game, let alone heard of it. But it wasn't Mario 3 or Mega Man X, and therefore it was automatically a stupid game.

Have you tried Uncharted Waters? It's really quite good.

Personally, I haven't heard of this Card game you mention, but I wouldn't begrudge anyone the chance to download it.

Especially now I have my Uncharted Waters

mario and pikmin physical for me

Mario physical, both Sega 3d classics.

Why does Europe get to know what games come out in advance and not North America?

£49.99... jeez... If it wasnt bad enough with purchases not being tied to accounts, we get prices like these on top.
Planned on getting physical anyway, but could have been persuaded if the price was right.

Oh yeah, its-a Mario time! Bring on Friday.

I'm still very much busy with epic mickey 2 and batman arkham origins. Though I'm only interested in physical copies (most often cheaper and i love to hold game in my arms)

@FluttershyGuy flips the bird
Exactly my thoughts!

Mario on disc. Nintendo, I can get it 10 pounds cheaper if buying physical copy AND it's not forever and ever locked to my console. I really don't see reasoning behind the pricing on eShop.

@edhe
I don't want to be polemic but there are games like fire emblem, secret of mana 2, card master, tales of phantasya, star ocean, lufia, ys 4 and 5, popful mail,bahamut lagoon never released in europe for snes or wii vc and uncharted waters is a game with many problems (i tried it, i'm not saying it is stupid, i say it isn't a good choice for wii u)
There are games with priority, about megaman x it is a great game so no one can be disappointed from its release, about uncharted water how many people will download it, let us be realistic
I don't like how they are managing the wii u vc, also the prices

europe gets to know what crappy games are for download before hand and us americans get surprised about the lack of any good games..got mario at midnight launch i know imma get yelled at it was lackluster at best way over hyped

I don't understand why hal doesn't produce a sequel to cardmaster instead of kirby

@hammish0531 Yeah I know what you mean mate, 10/10 for ALBW & SM3DW especially after all those news articles about rehashes and how Ninty need new franchises... No wonder they keep shoving this stuff down our throats 10 times per year

@Zael Uncharted Waters is published by Tecmo Koei. Arcana (Card Master) is publshed by Hal. Tecmo Koei will only submit their own games for to Nintendo for release on Virtual Console. If Hal chooses not to submit Arcana then Nintendo is not able to release Arcana.

there are games like fire emblem, secret of mana 2, card master, tales of phantasya, star ocean, lufia, ys 4 and 5, popful mail,bahamut lagoon never released in europe for snes or wii vc

Most of those games were not translated into english originally. They aren't going to translate them now but they are not playable without a translation. So they aren't getting released no matter how good they are.

I don't understand why hal doesn't produce a sequel to cardmaster instead of kirby

Kirby sells. Card Master wouldn't. Its that simple.

Planning to buy Mario digitally, but I'm afraid it will have to wait a bit (hopefully not too long, that game is a must have!).

Damn curious also about Romance Dawn... If it is a good game then it would be a pleasure to revisit how the legend began

@FineLerv

It's not that I'm/We're anti-download, it's just that we all probably want (cheaper) physical copies of SM3DW, so there's no point in choosing the digital vote!

Super Hang-on will be mine!

SM3DW isn't very graphics intensive so it would run just fine off the disc drive anyway... What's worth noting is you can then sell it after you finish it in a day or two

@ThomasBW84 The word Discounts is missing from the heading where your 3DS E-shop Discount's should be I think. I may be wrong, it happens frequently to me.

@Zael Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is one of my favourite pirate games of all time (probably second to the various Sid Meier's Pirates! games) and the trading and exploration parts add greatly to the fun. It's my favourite Koei game, even more than the Dynasty Warrior series.
There is also a decent free to play MMO based on it too.
This is as exciting as Mario 3D World for me.

@edhe Have you tried the free to play Uncharted MMO? It's no Uncharted Waters 2 and only a MMO, but it's still good.

@ThomasBW84 You have this article tagged as North America, not Europe.

sm3dw isnt bad but isnt a true 3d mario they should of done like they did with super mario 64 they reinvented the mario franchise...they had a perfect shot to do it again for the hd era not remake 64 but make something new and fresh...3d world should of been named new super mario 3D world u it resembles the new super mario series more than 3d mario..thats why i called it lackluster the game is a great 2.5d mario just not a good 3d mario

@Knuckles I think it's time for some ATV Wild Ride online again My friend Are you up for it on Saturdays? I will post about it in Online gaming.

6PM Pacific Time on Saturdays Starting This Saturday. Come join us https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/online_gaming/atv_wild_ride_is_back_saturdays_at_6pm

Youtube?!?

@ledreppe "It's not that I'm/We're anti-download, it's just that we all probably want (cheaper) physical copies of SM3DW, so there's no point in choosing the digital vote! "

Oh I totally understand that! But, that's actually why I want the vote removed. Basically people have legitimate reasons for not wanting to get the digital version of retail games; but the vote distorts the data so that we can't see at a glance the actual percentage of people buying each game. Better yet, just make the vote targeted at everyone, digital or otherwise. That way we can all just vote Mario, whichever format we buy it on!

@FineLerv

Agreed!

@ThomasBW84 If they release 3d power drift il be happy

@Zael That's the reality of the VC nowadays. Namco (Tales) or Square-Enix (Star Ocean/SoM II) couldn't give two turds about releasing games on the WiiU, let alone VC games.

I personally own Star Ocean on the PSP, and until recently, Tales of Phantasia on the GBA (a bit more expensive, that one). While I welcome new VC games, I think the only thing we can really look forward to is (more) N64 games and Gamecube games.

But I'm glad you're at least familiar with the game.

@MadAdam81 I'd heard about it. As far as I was aware, it was one of those games they released for the Koreans. I never really looked in to it, but I was a bit worried it was excessively pay to win (or pay to play for more than 5 minutes).

Why not put original Uncharted Waters on the 3DS? Also L'Empereur a good Koei NES game along with Romance of the 3 Kingdoms 2.

Let's hope Crash 'N Boys comes to NA this week for the 3DS VC as well. Or I'd gladly take Blaster Master.

@KnightRider666 No Super Hang-on? LOL

3D World - physical
Uncharted Waters - instant buy
And maybe Segas 3D classics games.

Thats about it this week
Oh, and Romance Dawn physical, first for my girlfriend as a gift and if its good, i get if later for myself with a big maybe at the end,

Where's YouTube? Surely it's coming out today. It's the last week of November.

wheres youtube!?!??!? It should be released before December, that's on Sunday!!!
Come on Nintendo =/ Someone who now something about this?

Either Crash N boys or 3D space Harrier (?)

Getting mario on disc from game the limited edition.
And 3d sega games on 3ds .

@DarkCoolEdge Don't worry about the shovelware. So long as there is a dedicated indie section on the eShop with the good indie games (VVVVVV, Steamworld Dig, Cave Story, etc), it won't matter how much shovelware is added. Plus, there are some major indies coming soon to the 3DS eShop: Grinsia, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Retro City Rampage, Shovel Knight, etc.

Not sure why Nintendo is ripping you Europeans off with the eShop prices. Here in North America, all the retail games are the same price on the eShop as they are in the store (the MSRP).

@Bass_X0
hal is second party, Iwata was president, nintendo can bring that game as if it was first party

the fact kirby sells more is still to demonstrate, I speak about a sequel for card master, no one can say if it would sell more, but, even if kirby sells more, I think that we need more variety in games.
They have produced many kirbys and they are very similar in terms of gameplay
I understand that they want be sure to sell games, but we can't go on only with mario, kirby etc.
Hal continues to produce kirby but card master was a great game for the time, today, with some changement and graphic improvements, with medium investments (less than for kirby) they could produce a great game.
I agree about translations, but card master has been translated. The other games are only in japanese but, considering they ask about 10 euro $ for every snes vc game, and that there are brand new games for 10, they could call a translater and translate.

Uncharted Waters and Sega Classics... somewhat interesting.

I already own Uncharted Waters on Wii VC, and there's no real point in save states in that game, so I'll be skipping. And I'm with the others, physical copy of Mario all the way! It's the reason I bought a Wii U in the first place!

Why do tha download full games always cost more than the boxed version? Mario 3d is 39.99 in the shops but 49.99 to download???
This is why it still doesn't pay to go fully digital

This is the 4th new VC game (not available on Wii) in EU.

1. Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire (SNES)
2. EarthBound (SNES)
3. Golf (NES)
4. Uncharted Waters: New Horizons (SNES)

wheres the youtube app

Wiiware still living?! Who had thunk it!

@Windy: Most definitely! I'm buying every Sega 3D classic.

@IceClimbers It is not a problem for me, I check internet regularly, but for the uninformed/clueless people that has the handheld. Many end up buying crap that doesn't deserve the money and on top of that they might end up skipping the eShop altogether because of those lousy experiences. Plus, you (as Nintendo) don't want to have another hardware known for its shovelware.

SEGA 3D classics for me. As for Mario, I'll get that on disc thanks.

@ThomasBW84 Haha, in all fairness I missed the North America, but caught the discounts, maybe we were all almost half asleep earlier, lol.

Kind of surprised at YouTube's absence (I usually take the EU updates as a guess at what the NA update might have). All the same, that's not to say it still won't come by the end of the month. Nintendo has occasionally dropped eShop software on odd days (ie: neither Monday nor Thursday) without warning. All in all, it'll get here when it's ready. Besides, I imagine most (if not all of you) here already have a mobile device capable of watching YouTube anyway (iPod Touch, in my case), so waiting a little longer without YouTube on ANOTHER device isn't going to hurt anyone.

One piece review please!

I´ll get Mario on disc.
Why aren´t they releasing a good bunch of VC games for the Wii U
The emulation is there already, is it that hard to get out all the good old NES and SNES games?
Crash 'n the Boys???!!!! seriuosly? when are we going to get Mario 3 or Super Mario Kart or Zelda LTTP

At last sega 3D classics they look and play excellently.guy on youtube up loads them in 3d so you can view them in 3d if you got 3d tv.

Yay, got 3D World today! Thank God, because I couldn't wait to play it

Youtube in the Uk came out on the 30th November(Which nintendo lied saying it was released on the 29th)
