Nintendo Download: 3rd July (Europe)

Meh ,no shovel knight .

Chibi-Robo! Let's Go, Photo!
EU
(Nintendo, €12.99 / £11.69)
US
(Nintendo, $9.99)
Why is the price so much more for this game ?????

What a balls week,

I'd have thought the virtual console would get a boost across summer seen as we're waiting till October for retail titles to start seeing the light of day again

@Jazzer94

UK sales tax Bro. It's a killer

Also cross buy is a thing now.

@DESS-M-8 I know VAT but this has to be the first time the actual £ value is bigger then the $ value before being converted to $'s.
The game is like $20 in the UK is what I'm getting at.

It's got to be Chibi-Robo! This little guy needs love and support!

Definitely armillo for sure, I have guacamelee on PC so I'm don't gonna double dip yet I don't think. Overall a fantastic week

@DESS-M-8 Should be about £7 even including VAT.

Nothing for me this week.

I was really hyped about Chibi Robo finally be back in Europe, but the demo was disappointing... Maybe is just a demo fault, but Let's go Photo seems just a weak shadow of the game and little robot I loved >.<;

@Jazzer94 It's a worrying trend with Nintendo that started with Mario Golf. $29.99 and £34.99. It makes it really hard to go for downloads when you can get it physically for £26.

Meh. I'll just add Adventure Island on my wish list just because I've played the heck of it back then on my Famicom.

Armillo and Flowerworks are for me given the special offer. Need to check out that Kung Fu Rabbit review again as well. Guacamelee is on my radar for sure, but I've just cleared the slate of story-driven games so I can revisit Xenoblade.

Good week for sure. Already have the normal version of Guacamelee on PS3 so I'll give that a miss but it's a really fun game, highly recommend it to someone who hasn't played it already, especially if you like Mario and Rayman and stuff like that. It's a really surprisingly well done 2D platformer with great combat and puzzles.

I'll probably give Armillo a go at that price.

The Squids Odyssey thing surely proves cross buy is possible. So there's no technical barrier to cross buy, it's just up to Nintendo to decide wether to offer that value to us.

@Jazzer94 which minus tax is actually $16 so only $6 difference, about £4
There's also the fact Nintendo Europe over charge. I can get another world digitally on PS3 for just over £6. Same thing on eShop, over £7 forth same product. How's that?

You're right! NINTENDO ARE STEALING FROM ME!!!!!

Here's a good one. Look on the Wii shop channel on wii mode on your wii u!!! Where the hell are all the games? There's 14 N64 titles. Log onto wii shop channel on an actual wii there's like 59. Same on all formats. There's hundreds of games missing. I added over £20 in wii points, went to download ocarina and majoras. NOT THERE!!!!

@ROBLOGNICK I played the demo for this its actually really good. I'd played it for an hour without realising.
Although the film that's 2 dots within a square. I could not find anything to take a photo of for that

@unrandomsam like for like would be about £9.99 including VAT

I can't wait to sink my teeth into Guacamelee! I'll be getting that along with a bag of nachos, some guacamole and Desperados, for the full experience!

I definitely recommend Guacamelee for anyone who likes action platformers!
It's funny, plays slick and looks nice.

Bad bad timing. I've been waiting a long time for Guacamelee and for Chibi Robo...but man, do I want to play Shovel Knight right now. ^^ Still gonna get the other two of course. ^^

Squids Odyssey definitely deserves some attention, cross-buy just makes everything that much sweeter. Great week overall.

Gutted! No Aban Hawkins & The 1001 Spikes and no Shovel Knight

guacamelee defientely!
and i didn't reaize pokemon art academy is out this week when i have no more money...poopoodoodoocacapoopledoodledoggiedoople

I'm quite disappointed about the price changes and the lack of discounts here in Europe compared to the US

Third parties are doing cross-buy but not Nintendo...
Anyway, this is a typo, isn't it?
"Bonus: If you downloaded Squids Odyssey on Nintendo 3DS, you can download Squids Odyssey from Nintendo eShop on Wii U for free! - Consoles must both use the same NNID"
Or it simply means that if you own one version you'll get the other for free?
Maybe I'll pick up KF Rabbit at half price on Wii U this week.

I can't recommend strongly enough that @SuperCharlie78 and @Sean_Aaron and anyone else interested pick up Kung Fu Rabbit, which is a superb and supremely under-appreciated Wii U eShop platformer ideal for us Nintendo fans!

@DESS-M-8
Actually, I believe NOE has its servers located at Ireland and all the VAT from downloads are payed there. This is a common practice among download-shop providers, since Ireland's VAT is a measly 11%.

@DESS-M-8 Concerning the film that's 2 dots within a square in Chibi Robot, it's an old wall socket !

Guaca-friggin-Melee people! WOOHOO

Armillo was the game that really got my attention to the Wii U eShop indies almost a year ago. I intend to get Armillo, Guacamelee! and Flowerworks HD if the average reviews of these games are favorable.

Guacamelee and Armillo.

Don't forget Mutant Mudds Deluxe update for 3DS!

Man, reading that "Viva Mexico" tagline brought back the utter fury I felt yesterday after their coward excuse for a coach managed to lose a World Cup match he had no business losing. But I digress.

Definitely getting Guacamelee as soon as it arrives in the Americas, especially since I'll be finishing Shovel Night in the next couple of days.

As someone who's played through the PS Vita version of Guacamelee! several times, I really can't recommend it highly enough. It's an intoxicating mix of Metroidvania platforming and old skool 2D brawling — and needless to say, I'll certainly be indulging in a spot of Super Turbo Championship fun come Thursday!

What with the PS3 (cross-buy) version, Guacamelee! on Wii U will be my third copy of this particular downloadable. Cool beans!

I have been waiting for Armillo for months so that is the first I intend to download. Squids Odyssey was a game I was interested in but didn't have the funds at the time. Now it is on cross buy I will definitely be picking it up as well.

Wasn´t there a free update for Mutant Mudds? The deluxe for 3ds worldwide?

Shovel Knight is amazing, i feel sorry for you guys in UK, but Guacamelee is worth some time, great game.

It's hard to justify buying Guacamelee for 14€ when it was on sale for less than 3€ during steam summer sale.

Changed my mind, getting both Squids Odyssey and Guacamelee.

Only Pokémon Art Academy for me this week, and will be getting it retail, not download. Guacamelee isn't really my thing, I don't really like wrestlers and I really don't like the artstyle. Waiting for Shovel Knight.

But I wanted Shovel Knight.

@Luffymcduck I think Shovel Knight will be aviable 17.7. in EU

@outburst I hope they bring it to North America this week. Although I got recently a cartridge for $7 USD I would like to have it also on Virtual Console to abuse restore points and miiverse XD

Guacamelee rules!

@ricklongo unlucky game man, thought Mexico were great! It seemed to be more down to robben diving than any coach but hey, I'm English, so blaming coaches gets old

@Sephariel 17th July you say? That'd be a great way to celebrate my 41st birthday — a retro game for a very retro gamer!

I am excited for Guacamele and Armillo this week! Loving the eshop recently!

I can not believe that Chibi Robo is finally going to be released in Australia / Europe!
I only found out about it a few days ago, at first I thought that it was a mean joke, then I saw the demo on the eShop! I was really beginning to think that it would never see the light of day over here (especially since NA got it many months ago).
Now if they would only release "Disney Magical World" over here as well, I would be happy. I still REALLY want that game. I would just import the game if it wasn't for the stupid region lock.

(Hudson's) ADVENTURE ISLAND, the fiiiiirst one in NES!!!! Yay!!!

...Hope it gets to America =/

i thoguht adventure island was made by hudson soft, not konami

I already got Guacamelee! for free on the PS3 with my Playstation Plus subscription, so I pass.

@xj0462 Konami owns Hudson now.

Meh, still waiting on Adventure Island 3... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhggQyLQzDg

Seriously though, I WILL be getting Guacamelee!!

It's a shame that Mexico lost yesterday. They really deserved to win!

Definitely downloading Armillo, and I'll try and hold out for a bit of a discount on Guacamelee (would prefer it to be £10 or less).

Still no Game & Watch Gallery 3 on 3DS then?

Meh! What about Shovel Knight? What about Pier Solar, for god's sake. Damn!!!

@gurtifus and where in the UK are you supposed to have a chance of seeing one of them?

Hey guy, Europe is not UK I am in France and also waiting for Shovel Knight and all... And having to spend more money too...
Anyway, maybe Squids this week... Maybe...
I will see after Japan Expo.

Really like the visuals for Guacamelee, hopefully it plays as well as it looks.
