Nintendo Download: 10th April (Europe)

Yeah nothing for me this week.

Ouh... second vote. The ducktales discount may be the chance to get it!

@Jazzer94 same

Kirby and Warioware for me. Loving the GBA games on the Virtual console.

Hmm, I wonder if Urban Trial Freestyle is worth the price... Then again, I have lots of other games on my Watch List, so I think I'll pass.

Nothing for me this week, even if I'll have to download some GBA games soon or later XP

Curious to read the Batman review... Not interested in the game itself, but seeing a 3DS game ported to WiiU at that price sounds "interesting", maybe something to hope to see more often in future IF the ports are made properly.

@Frapp Twisted was better imo.

@whodatninja It seems GBA VC releases are replacing all the other usual VC releases shame as I thought that we would get them side by side.

Gotta be Wario Ware

So besides the GBA games, there are no new VC games for either system yet again. A shame really.

Was hoping Scram Kitty would come out this week. Oh well, maybe next week. Got both VC games, already got Duck Tales (maybe shoud've waited for price drop though), getting Hobbit on disc and don't care for Batman.

In the meantime: nothing for me.

Already have Kirby from the ambassador programme, but I'll gladly double dip to be able to play it on the TV

Did you really have to say that poopoodoodoocacapoopledoopledoodoo about Amazing Mirror? Just say its coming to the ESHOP and leave it at that.
_{Profanity is not appropriate here, and directed toward members of staff less so. Please tread carefully — TBD}

Nothing for me this week, next week looks promising though with NES Remix 2 and some eshop titles coming.

Said I'd buy ducktales when it dropped below a fiver....an extra 99p wont hurt . I won't however be buying any GBA games until I can get them for £5 or less, others may differ but to me they aren't worth more. At two for £10......I'd have bought 6 already!!!

WarioWare is a great game, but I already have several copies of it (GBA, GC, 3DS Ambassador). Nothing for me then.

@Frapp That would be great, but it would require some special engineering. It could work with just a Wiimote, too.

Again, disappointment on the Wii U VC front...

I have been looking at Ducktales: Remastered for a good while but was reluctant to pay £12 since I haven't played the original and have no nostalgic pull to it. Now with this price drop, I will be picking that game up for sure

@BakaKnight played a demo for it on ps3 and it convinced me to get it on wii u. It uses the graphic engine from arkham origins. And plays really well. And is only £16!

Nothing here again, still massively limiting what I buy due to getting all the GH DLC I didn't have before it got removed. When I get enough money though I'll get Metroid Fusion (from last week) and WarioWare.

@Frapp Yeah thats what I was thinking hopefully it happens as Twisted is one of the best Wario Wares.

Was really hoping we'd get a surprise Moon Chronicles release this week.

While I voted for "nothing this week" im impressed with the turnaround the wiiu eshop is getting. A decent hd update to a great 3ds game,2 WORTHY vc games and a retail release no less. I hope nintendo keeps up the momentum and gives us a smash demo after the direct

Actually wanted to buy batman arkham origins blackgate last week. But since it got delayed i spended my last eshop money on mario and luigi superstar saga and on pokemon link. Not planning to buy a new eshop card, I'm saving my money for tes online on ps4 and minecraft on ps4, Also a bit for octodad ps4. Sorry Nintendo, but my wiiU is now a console meant for VC titles and for mario kart and ssb.

Already bought Ducktales last time it was on sale so nothing this week.

And that's good because this month has been expensive enough.

@Geonjaha I dont think there will be any Virtual CONSOLE games apart from Game Boy for at least a couple more weeks.

(WHICH SUUUUCKS)

@Jazzer94 Yeah it's really annoying. I don't really want to buy Game Boy games for the Wii U. I'd rather want more console titles!

(such an odd decision on Ninty's part)

And to those who say "Ugh, just get it on the old Wii VC": If i cant play it on the Wii U Gamepad then it doesn't count!

@Emblem think that hits e shop on the 25th dude. Hope I'm wrong but you could be waiting a wee bit longer yet!

Looks like those '3DS only' supporters can keep playing their Flappy Bird Mania Christmas 3D for the rest of this year

I'm waiting on Golden Sun next week And err money to buy it with

Nothing special this week (aside from Wario and Kirby perhaps) though I might get Urban Trial Freestyle.

Off-topic: I wish we'd get Monument Valley on 3DS or Wii U. Would be a perfect fit. Man that game is stylish and enchanting.

Hmm, maybe Batman, really not sure. Hope the review comes out before Thursday. No GBA VC games for me, have them already.

I had hoped they would keep up the release's of other VC games along-side the GBA games, guess not, typical Nintendo, cant keep up.

rolls eyes, again

Dark Souls 2 and Metroid: Fusion will keep me busy this week. Metroid: Fusion is better than I remembered it.

@ULTRA-64 Thanks your right, guess Im getting ahead of myself Lol.

@whodatninja Its annoying as at this point in time for the Wii it had a lot of systems for VC.

@Jazzer94

And better emulation, as Wii actually changes the video output mode to match the system it emulates.

Due to an expensive LEGO Movie weekend nothing for me. But will probably get Wario & Batman at a later point. Haven't thought much of Amazing Mirror

@readyletsgo Yeah, I was hoping for Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI at some point but GBA games will slow it all up.

@pukka-pie
We may get the DS version of Chrono Trigger what with DS VC coming soon.

@pukka-pie haha I dont you will see them on the Wii U VC any time soon. It will be GBA game up to the Summer then DS games which we can all get already very cheaply, so, I dont see the point of DS VC right now.

Bring 3DS to the VC to the Wii U, Nintendo!!!

Uhm, nothing for me this week. Wario Ware is highly recommended and perhaps the best part in the series, but I own it already. Kirby, meh. The Duck Tales discount is nice, but surely won't be the last the game receives. As I'm still busy with Mario & Luigi for a while, I will wait for a future discount of this interesting game.

I hope NA gets the DuckTales discount!

Amazing Mirror is the worst Kirby game. Don't buy it.

@Marshi I don't think Nintendo would ever do a demo for their more popular franchises.... I guess the idea is that you've played all the previous entries you pretty much know what to expect.

@TurretGunZ wow, easy there tiger

Nothing interest me so far. Still waiting for Liberation Maiden to go on sale thought my patients is not doing so well. I bet the time I do get it, it will go on sale the next week.

Nothing this week. Have both GBA games on 3DS already. Still playing Mario and Luigi from last week though, so can't complain too much.

@Emblem
NES remix is not next week. it's the week after.

@SilentHunter382 LOL I swear you have been waiting for that sales for like months!!!!

DuckTales for me. And later on, Batman.

@hiptanaka There is problems with the Wii emulation as well. Particularly Neo Geo using 320x224 and Megadrive / TG16 with those awful filters. Not to mention the 50hz problem and the lack of scanlines on SNES. It is bad because there is never going to be a system that is reasonable to connect a CRT to again.

Mostly GBA games again, is this the future of the VC?, playing handheld games on a next generation home system. The more u look at it it's hard to understand handheld games on the Wii U VC it's like a strange backward step in the sense that the magic of the handheld was really to give u slightly inferior minimized home console games that u could play mobile in the palm of ur hands, thats the selling point, that should'nt be a selling point of a next generation home console. Home console versions of games are better, the only thing that makes the hand held mobile experience advantageous is that u can take it with u like with films and music etc... but like that the Wii U is'nt a mobile device. GBA is on the VC and that's fair enough but should'nt the Wii U be more about home console releases, i don't want mobile versions of games i have a mobile phone for that, i bought a home console because i want home console versions of games.

A permanent price reduction on the worst port of Myst.

@SilentHunter382 You missed the sale a few months ago on Liberation Maiden? (when Weapon shop came out) That sucks. Having played the game I'd say, keep waiting for a sale. The story mode is literally 45 minutes (but going for unlockables which explain more of the world, will take some time).

@shaneoh I'd buy that.

hiptanka...Yeah the old Wii VC games were mostly full screen i'm not seeing this with the Wii U maybe it's because it's HD or is it that's it's matching whats on the gamepad screen. To find that the gamepad screen is actually limiting what ur seeing on ur hd tv would be quite disappointing. It could be too that the gamepad screen is the the reason were not seeing certain games and consoles coming to the VC and why theirs a focus now on GBA games. I like the gamepad and the Wii U console as a whole but I bought the Wii U mainly for the VC being that the old Wii VC is so good but i'm getting the feeling that the new VC may actually be more limited then the old one. I hope i'm proven wrong.

@Game-Over

I don't agree with the sentiment that handheld games are "slightly inferior home console games". I enjoy Metroid: Fusion more than most full-blown console games and I'm glad I can play it on my TV. It looks great.

lol. People complain about the VC getting 1 NES game a week and that it needs more. Now that GBA games came, we get 3 last week, 2 this week and what do you know? People complain.

@hiptanaka

But the GBA version of SNES games were usually inferior. Hardly any exception comes to my mind. With the SNES version you usually got the higher resolution and better sound. For some games like the Breath of Fire games they threw in some additional pictures, but the beforementioned drawbacks were there as well. I know Nintendo wants to promote that whole GBA thing but it would actually better to get the SNES version of those games that were released for SNES before or at least give you the choice.

What grinds my gears is that this is the second week without 3DS VC games... I guess some fanboy has to explain to me, why that is a very good move from Nintendo.

Wow, lousy 3DS week for you guys.

@Heng-Yu
there is only one game there on that list that is also on the SNES. so to say that we should get the SNES version, yeah it might be better but for one title while the rest you cannot get. I'll gladly make that sacrifice for that one title that is slightly inferior to get games such as metroid fusion, Mario and Luigi and Golden Sun which you cannot get on the SNES. It is not like that many SNES games were put on to the GBA to begin with.

@element187 I think you will be right. But what a crappy attitude for nintendo to have if thats the case! What about the people who have never played a smash bros game? What about all the potential new fans to a nintendo system? I hope you are wrong,but its a fools hope!

@ikki5 I would like to complain at your insessent complaining regarding all the other complainers complaints. And in complaining about you complaining about complainers you will no doubt complain about my complaint too!

hiptanka...Forgive my ignorance when it comes to handheld systems and games i have played on handhelds but never owned one as i've always had a preference for home consoles, thus my purcahse of a Wii U. That's really the point, the GBA on the VC is no bad thing and playing on the gamepad screen is a nice option but like that u buy a home console to play games that were made for a tv screen not a handheld one.

@Marshi
except you are calling my statement about trying to understand why people are complaining when they want something, they get it and still complain.... and this somehow a complaint? I don't see any kind of expressing dissatisfaction in my statement at all. If you considered that a complaint, than by your own logic, anyone who questions or calls out anyone is complaining.

Batman for me, you can never have to much batman

@ikki5 take it easy dude I was just joking and seeing how many times I could say "complain"! I actually agree with you. Gamers are NEVER happ

I rarely like the visuals or the button bashing gameplay they use for super hero type games like Batman. Theirs always a tendency for a movie like adaptation of the character rather then a comic book one which is a pity when u think of all the source material that's their from the great comic book artists and writers that built the Batman character. I'd love to see a Batman game that had an authentic comic book look and feel to it.

Next month guys.. next month will be great releases.

Everyone that doesn't buy Duck Tales at that price is a scrooge...

@ArcanineArco My sentiments exactly: will be giving it a try now.

Made the mistake of selling Warioware years ago and it's time to rectify!!!

@Geonjaha and you're actually surprised? I figured nintendo would use the gba VC as an excuse to not release anything new.

Amazing Mirror is hands-down the best Kirby game ever. I thought the Metroidvania design really meshed well with Kirby due to all of the power-ups you get.

I hate the fact that Nintendo are giving us the GBA versions of Yoshi's Island and WarioWare when they could have released the full console releases of these titles that were originally developed for the SNES and GameCube respectively. :/

@sillygostly WarioWare Minigame Mania was originally for the GBA

Great price on Ducktales, Europeans. Sorry to see you aren't getting the majesty that is My Exotic Farm.

I picked up Batman this weekend. Loving the game.

That poor guy who voted for "Myst..." he doesn't know what's coming for him...

Two more weeks of GBA games and we'll never hear of that again. Just like any other console on VC...

honestly, where is new n tasty???

The Ducktales discount is great, shame I already got it last year for PC. Also the Batman game could be ok, but I shall read the reviews first.

Have to say that Arkham City for Wii U is really great, that's one game that I already owned on PC, but the Wii U version really enhances the gameplay nicely.

They added Kid Icarus Uprising to the Eshop too.
