Nintendo Download: 7th August (North America)

3 VC titles,for Wii U? It's like 2008 again!

Isn't this Game supposed too come out today as well?

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/08/wayforward_bringing_gbc_classic_xtreme_sports_to_3ds_virtual_console

Also, is there a way too contact the people who write these Articles in private?

I'd get The Mysterious Murasame Castle but I just bought the FDS version, talk about timing

Mega Man 5 and Super Mario Kart!

Well. Megaman five is my favourite one (probably because it is the one I owned on the NES) so I'll be getting that for sure.

UFO Interactive. Isn't that the company with half the one star reviews on the site?

I'd love to hear from Nintendo why Brazil STILL does not have access to the Nintendo eShop. Yes, everything Nintendo down here is an import, which means everything Nintendo is way more expensive than Sony or M$. But still, there WAS an official Wii U launch last year, so what gives?
Just another item on the list of things that Nintendo apparently doesn't get or doesn't care. I'm Nintendo for life, but the company REALLY makes it difficult sometimes.

I wish they'd make more of an effort to keep the EU and NA releases the same.

I don't see murasame on eshop is this an error?
Oops sorry derp moment

@MotorTCD usually eshop updates at noon EST.

bad week...

I've been trying to update my 3DS all morning. My 3DS eShop keeps giving me an error message and won't let me access anything.

Still, this lineup looks like a good solid week for Nintendo Download.

Off topic, but why doesn't the European Download articles have a link to the previous North America Download article as well?

Super Mario Kart, Mega Man 5 and Cybernator in the same week...more Mega Man each of the next few weeks, and according to another article I saw, Double Dragon 2 next week and Life Force the week after that. Things are looking up!

Also, this Mysterious Murasame Castle game looks pretty sweet.

@RCMADIAX That IS weird. I know there are ways to go around it, but I just wish they'd get on with it. Although I do fear that, when they do, they're just gonna charge online the same price stores ask for a retail game.
I mean, right now the console is going for the equivalent of 830 dollars, a game oscillates between 80 and 90 dollars, a Wii Remote is around 45, and don't even get me started on accessories like the Disney Infinity items…

@MotorTCD The eShop does not update until 9:00 AM PDT/12:00 PM EDT

Anyway, what was this about Nintendo not adding more than one VC game per week?

Nintendo hates 3DS owners...

is cybernator any good?

@WaLzgi Yeah sorry I forgot I was gonna delete my comment because I just rememebered and I saw your reply so It's too late now.

@MKCustodial im not sure why, but mabye cause there STILL trying to fight iff sega in brazil

@xj0462 What do you mean? SEGA had its day in the 80s and 90s. In fact, I had a Master System and then a SEGA Genesis and a SEGA CD, choosing those over the systems that were our version of the NES and SuperNES probably because their marketing was more aggressive. I only turned to Nintendo on the N64. And by then SEGA was pretty much dead.

"The Mysterious Murasame Castle" for me, been waiting for this one.

Now to wait for "Bubble Bobble," "Kung-Fu Heroes," and the DK Land trilogy. (All out in Japan.)

I'm really intrigued by Murasame, so I'll probably pick that up. Or, alternatively, I could buy all three of the UFO games and then throw my 3DS in the trash.

What we don't get Battlechip Challenge? Awwwwwwwww.

Man, let's get Murasame Castle on Wii-U VC too.

I wanted the scram kitty discount for NA... O well I will get Murasame. It looks pretty good.

Finally, time to play Murasame Castle to completion!!

I'll also be picking up Super Mario Kart and Cybernator.

I will eventually get Super Mario Kart and The Mysterious Murasame Castle...

I hope the 3DS holidays line-up will deliver, otherwise Bravely Default will have been my only purchase this year :-/

Cybernator sounds awesome on paper, but I don't find it very fun to play.

I will support RCMadiax for the third time. I may check Murasame too, although I would rather have that on Wii U.

Rokumaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!

I have Super Mario Kart on Wii VC, so I'll get the upgrade... other than that, another slow week. need some new 3DS games!

(and I still wish Nintendo would give us an achievement/ Trophy system for 3DS/ Wii U. I feel so dirty spending all my time on my Vita and PS3/4, but i have a horribly unhealthy trophy addiction. )

Finally a really good week. I think this is the first really good week since e3. Takamaru for me fo sho and maybe a discount game by ufo depending on how much they're discounted.

Slim pickings this week.

Boring across all systems.

@ SOD1459 @XFsWorld A Nintendo classic, an 8-bit Mega Man game, a well-reviewed Konami game and a fast-paced action-oriented game using the Zelda engine that has never been available in the US? What exactly are you hoping for?

Its the worst of UFO for 3ds sales! Yikes

Super Mario Kart and The Mysterious Murasame Castle since these are the games I've never played. Also, does Takamaru look like Samurai Jack?

Super Mario Kart, but only because I can upgrade the Wii version.

Zzzzzz......

What controller do I need to play Mario Kart on my Wii U? I only have Wii U contoller and a remote. Do i need another controller? By the way I also ordered 2 Wii U Pro contoller for smash bros. They are on the way.

@dwain you are able to use the gamepad

@ikki5 @dwain Yes, you can use the gamepad.

You mean wii u's original gamepad right?

Thanks!

Good week! Grabbed Super Mario Kart yesterday... can't decide on this Castle game. Looks a bit frustrating and I'd honestly prefer it on the Wii U.

Nice. Going for Super Mario Kart for sure. Might grab RCMADIAX's third game later on, I got some enjoyment out of the other two after all.

I'm still torn n getting any Mega Man games on Wii U, since I own both Mega Man Collection games on my GameCube. Is the restore point feature worth a "double-dip?"

@argh4430 Beats me, but not having to use the Gamecube controller to play Mega Man is.

@Krambo42 I have no problem using the GameCube controller, nor the switched A-B configuration that mess other people up. So far, I would only get them for restore points and off-TV play, I could use those on my 3DS instead. I was hoping maybe someone could tell me if there are emulation differences that would make the Wii U (original NES) versions better.

@MKCustodial from what i heard sega is STILL making consoles in brazill

Come on people, show some love for Cybernator. That game is awesome. Better yet, now it has the restore point feature available so it won't be so hard to beat.

Murasame and Cybernator for me!! You have no idea how excited I am to play these, especially Cybernator!

@xj0462 There are Mega Drives (Genesis) and Master Systems being sold with, like 50 games preinstalled, but they're from TecToy, which is the company that represented SEGA back then. I had no idea it was still considered a SEGA production thing.

@MKCustodial nao sao aparelhos da sega. Sao mesmo licenciados pela tectoy. E sao emulacoes muito ruins cores borradas e clock lento. Quando tiver eshop no brasil vai ser cobrado o mesmo preco de jogos que o mercado local. Isso é regra. Vantagem apenas em titulos download only.

Wow, this update reminds me of 2008. Keep weeks like this up, Nintendo. Please.

And get Sega aboard already.

Wait, no Scram Kitty discount? That makes me sad.

@MKCustodial It probably has to do with the recent conundrum about banks not allowing Brazilians to make international purchases using BRL as a currency. The 3DS has had a Brazilian e-Shop for a while, I believe the Wii U would have one too at this point if not for external factors.

Oh well, I'll keep being "Canadian" on the e-Shop and Club Nintendo.

@ricklongo Good point. That issue is just one of many recent decisions by our government to make us not spend money abroad. I bet they would outright ban it if they thought they could get away with it, so ridiculous it's become recently.

Murasame for me...but where is Pokémon TCG GBC Nintendo!??!?!?????!?!??!/!?!!??!

Cybernator makes me sad, because I've played Assaults Suits Valken.

Downloaded Mysterious Murasame Castle hopefully it encourages more import games on the Virtual Console.

@ThomasBW84 Ah... thanks for the info then.

@ThomasBW84 Also, I've been having trouble contacting the person who wrote the Article about the 3DS having a 300 Game Limit, I was actually the first too hit the limit of 331 'Boxes' on my Home Menu back around the time when Pokemon X & Y came out. I'm hoping for some help with my problem please.

SMK & Murumase when I get home. NOA steping up their VC game w/ revealing line-up for next week and a MM each week.

Mario Kart's arrival is too little too late. This VC sucks.

cool. got a nice variety this week

I've never played Super Mario Kart (and that'd be my obvious choice), but I also don't own a Wii U.

Dang...

Finally get to upgrade it from the wii menu... Now I just need them to release N64 games so I can upgrade those!

The Mysterious Murasame Castle Time! So far tricky but fair.

This is a good Virtual console week. There are 3 and 1 3ds . I want Mario Kart for a 1.50 and I want to try Murasame too. I'm getting both. It's too bad all weeks can't be like this

I'm so glad I bought a Wii u so I can download games already released for Wii. It's mind boggling why Wii U will go down as the worst system in Nintendo history.

@MKCustodial well apparently it is!

Nothing for me, but maybe I'll pop in mk on my snes to celebrate its release.

Subtracting GBA titles from Wii U VC library, 98% of Wii U VC games have already been released on Wii.

Nice to be pleasantly surprised for once. Already downloaded SMK and Mega Man V, will play both tonight.

Hey Nintendo Life, I have a friend who's had a game in development for quite a few years (even made a YouTube series documenting the development), and they went into kickstarter a couple days ago with Wii U and 3DS as a stretch goal. It's a "next-gen 2D RPG" kinda like secret of mana.. I've seen it in person, it's pretty dang cool. Here's the kickstarter link.. Also I hope you don't view this as spam haha! Only reason I'm sharing this with ya is because I think it'd be a huge hit amongst the Wii U/3DS communities..

Where's the love for the 3DS? ;_;

holy poopoodoodoocacapoopledoople!! 3 wii u virtual console releases???? for north america???? in the same week??? i must be dreaming!!!! now keep it going damn it!!!!!!

Murasame and Cybernator, this week is looking good.

@B3ND3R You might want to try the Contact Form below (see: "Contact"). I can't promise anything since I'm not a writer, but that would give you a better shot

@WaLzgi I thought I'd throw it on a recent article and didn't really have time to go onto the forums.. Kinda rushed haha
I have now sent it directly to em

Cybernator sounds like a good time, I hope it'll come to the 3DS sometime in the near future.

I might pick up Samurai Sword Destiny, given its' discount. The reviews were a bit to harsh to justify its' price tag, IMO.

Thanks for the great article!

@B3ND3R if it is not Nintendo or for Nintendo... why would there be news of it?

@ikki5 they do news on indie titles going through kickstarter with Wii U/3DS as a goal.. Because why wouldn't we want to support getting more cool indie titles on our favorite consoles?

@ikki5 I also forgot to mention that they partnered up with Watermelon (people behind Pier Solar) and are making the game for the Dreamcast as well as (if the goal is reached) Wii U and 3DS

Murasame Castle for me. I'm hoping for Devil World next week!

@Krambo42 Nothing really.

@XFsWorld I see. Well, whatever, ha.

@xj0462 The "SEGA Brazilian Console" is a Master System with 150 games. Doesn't have internet connection but have Sonic 2 ! Cost about $70.

@NickBRCM is that 70 american or 70 brazillian dollars?

Lots of VC love this week. Picking up Shut the Box, liking all of RCMdaix (not easy name to remember) offerings so far.

And that Murasume VC game sounds like a winner too.

@xj0462 American...about 150 brazilian dollars

I actually just got Murasame, and I'm loving it so far! My thumb hurts, though. It's much more difficult than I'd expected!

Garbage week yet again.
