Nintendo Download: 16th October (Europe)

DONKEY KONG COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want all the Donkey Kong games!

Well, already bought the Hyrule Warriors dlc bundle. I have Lone Survivor on PS VITA, but I'm really losing interest in the system... So I might get the game at a discount later on Wii U, and maybe sell my VITA, unless I get some more good news about Grim Fandango coming to it in a remastered version...

DK love Yeah!

Conception is pretty cheap too, need bigger SD card

This is awesome. Anyone who doesn't have tropical freeze yet should face criminal charges, it's such a great game.

I'm definitely getting hyrule warriors dlc as I preordered it - whoa this game is big - and I think I'll get both squids odyssey and steamworld dig on this discount.

On the other hand, I hardly have the time to play it all... dilemmas!

Goddamit Nintendo....this is already going to be an expensive enough month for me already with the day one first print edition of Bayonetta 2, now you go and suddenly bring all the Donkey Kong Country games back to VC and Donkey Kong Land to the 3DS as well . Luckily, I've already downloaded all 3 DKC games on Wii VC, so I can upgrade them fairly cheap if I want.

Nice to see some Hyrule Warriors DLC make an appearance too, as I've already paid for the season pass.

Shin Megami Tensei IV, where are yoooouuuuuu?

Will buy the DK Country Trilogy at a later date. Always wanted to play those classics!

Donkey Kong Country on my birthday! With number 2 next week!
Nintendo, all is forgiven,

I'm so unbelievably happy that the DKC games are getting re-released, since I only manged to download the first one before they were taken off the Wii virtual console!

Also, am looking forward to that Hyrule Warriors DLC.

@Kyoto : Yes and also Shovel Knight is still stucked at Certification step !!!!

Ahh! Donkey Kong Country. Finally!

Nothing for me this week, but I can't complain about the amount of releases this week. Looking good!

@gurtifus
The certification process takes about 3-4 weeks and it's been about 3 weeks now. I think the game will be released before the end of the month.

all DKC AND all DKL games? YES! finally

I have a feeling DKC 1-3 are going to be 50Hz. It is isn't a problem from a game speed front as they run as fast as their 60Hz versions. The problem is the Wii U and the Gamepad only output in 60Hz, they do this by duplicating every 5th frame; resulting in scrolling being noticeably jerky.

I kind of want DKC TF but the purchase of a crap 50-Hz version of DKC kind of puts me off (and also largely offsets the saving).

DONKEY KONG !!!

Whilst I won't be buying anything this week, I would recommend Lone Survivor to people. I have it on Steam, and it's pretty neat.

Also, if you have the spare cash, Gravity Badgers is a nice fun distraction. Not a complex puzzle game, but you can't go wrong for the price.

Hyrule Warriors's DLC,my first paid DLC.

!!! Wow, big week this week! It was only a few days ago that I had a discussion about whether we would ever see DKC on Wii U virtual console after they were pulled form Wii a few years ago. Can't wait to download it! The Donkey Kong Land games are also brilliant, but I won't be downloading them as I played them to death as a kid

That's more like it Ninty, follow this up with DK64 VC

BTW Cave Story is now on Eshop in Aus and NZ! It wasn't really advertised and so I just stumbled upon it - an amazing surprise

OMG DKC! And Steam World discount!

Woah woah WAIT! Can't wait to get my mitts of for DKC

My Nintendo long list: tvii uk, n64 games vc, new star wars rebel game as mentioned earlier this week, monster hunter 4 wii u. Dragon quest X wii u, sega dreamcast vc, Ok that will do for now!

I'll have to think long and hard about what to buy this week 0_o

Might get squids odyssey but wondering is it still cross buy?

Lone Survivor is an awesome game but its not for everyone. Dont buy it if you want a shooty combat game as this is pure survival horror, survival horror done well.

So how much will the two new Retro DKCs cost in Australia? I bought Tropical Freeze around 2 weeks ago for $60, really happy with it. Will get all the DKC VC games myself, already bought the Snes ones on Wii U so they should be cheap too which is good.

Ty for the heads up on Cave Story btw MeWario.

Great week! Already paid for the hyrule DLC.
Will get donkey Kong country, but what's the difference between this version and the gameboy version?

Aw yes! Never got the DKC trilogy on Wii. Will be downloading DKC and DK Land this week.

Bring donkey kong land 1-3 to the us/na region

Oh my god!!! So much DK!! So AWESOME!!! And that lone survivor game looks pretty rad. Good week

Holy crap! Nintendo's making up for the past few weeks i see. DKC!!!!!11 Rare games on VC woooooo!!!! (and not just a silly GBA port - The REAL DEAL)
I pray it's the NTSC version...

Also Steamworld Dig discount, a cool looking indie game (Lone Survivor) and Hyrule Warriors DLC!

Already pre-ordered the HW DLC.

@Readyletsgo; DK Land is a different game, it has the same setting as DKC with the same worlds appearing but the levels are different. It used to kick my but as a youngster when I had it on my old brick GB

@BarryDunne they had already been announced

@BarryDunne they had already been announced

@Ootfan98 Hear, hear!

Getting all the DKC games for Wii U. I already have them as SNES cartridges, GBA versions, GBC of DKC1 and Wii Shop downloads. I have the DKL too and I've played the other 2 in the series but I guess I'll buy those too. Such great Rare games.

DKC!!!! I never got to experience these amazing games!

Man, I'm really tempted by that promotion, since I'll defo be gettin' me some VC DK, but I don't like downloaded modern games. I much prefer collecting physical copies instead :/

Oh I forgot, getting that DKTF discount and will get rid of my physical copy!

Another great themed set of discounts for both eShops. I spent so much time playing DKL 2 & 3, may need to splash out for those!

@ToxieDogg
LOL yeah. I think my budget for Sonic Boom U (if it'll get at least an 8 from Thomas) will go to DKTF promo (so I can get rid of my Physical disc), DKC 1, 2, & 3 and Steamworld Dig U.

Who knows they'll bring CV Rondo of Blood, the 3 GBA Castlevanias on Halloween. And maybe Megaman 7 and X3 along the way!

Beats chest triumphantly! Hoping the dkc series came to wii u, especially looking forward to 2 and 3

Nothing for me. Nintendo, quit with the constant Trine 2 temporary discounts and just permanently reduce it!

Wait what ?!? O.o They renewed the DK license ? Thats fantastic !

@Kyoto I think shin megaten 4 was quoted as "end of the month" so presumably itll be out in two weeks.thats if ive remembered the quote correctly. .

I did a double take when I saw DKC on the VC list. I thought for sure we wouldn't be seeing those games again for a long long time for whatever reason. Now please, NOA, don't be jerks and withhold the games for months. (and yes, I know it has worked the other way around too. I'm saying the releases between NA and Europe should be concurrent)

Voted hyrule dlc and getting dk country

I was hoping for some of the Castlevania games that US recieved, so I'm a bit disappointed. Awesome that we get Donkey Kong Country, though.

@ledreppe It's the indie developers who set the prices on their games, not Nintendo.

Tons to buy! But definitely DKC first & foremost then maybe some of the 3DS discounts & definitely going to get DKL too.

Whoa, Donkey Kong Country? On the Wii U VC? That's fantastic! Save states will make that version much more playable.

So, 3 days before my birthday I get my first ever SNES game on WiiU VC, and in the later weeks the complete trilogy of what became my favorite series? I love you too, Nintendo.

Donkey kong and the lone survivor for me this week.

Those Donkey Kong games better be coming to America!

I hope that DK country comes to NA as well. I only got around to the first one before they were pulled

I hope that DK country comes to NA as well. I only got around to the first one before they were pulled

Is Adventures of Lolo on 3DS the Game Boy version? I'd download that if it ever came to NA.
I have the Japanese version, but I hear the EU version was better, though both are pretty rare.

Did lone survivor even ever come out int he US yet???

WHAT, DKC trilogy coming to Wii U VC? This could mean DK64 is possible! (if N64 games ever come to Wii U VC )

nothing for me.

Lone Survivor seems interesting, I shall await some reviews before purchasing.

So does Hyrule Warriors DLC include Cia, Wizzro, and Volga, or is that already out and I just haven't clicked the right place in the eshop? 😒

So, Donkey Kong Country...returns?
...I'll see myself out

Oh! I'm so happy about the return of the Donkey Kong Country trilogy!!!

@SavoirFaire The update on Thursday will give Cia, Wizzro and Volga for free. To get their level 2 and 3 weapons though you'll need to get the DLC and unlock them via the 2nd Adventure mode map

Buying DKC again, even though I already own all three through the Wii channel. They're just that good.

i REALLY Really Really Really hope donkey kong counrty makes it to amarica

@Grumblevolcano thanks I have already purchased the dlc, so looking forward to it.

For the topic at hand, I will be getting pretty much anything rare releases on the wii u VC, so will definitly pick these up. Do think it is odd that we still have zero news for n64 titles. Hopefully support will be a holiday surprise this year.

Is Donkey Kong Country on Wii U going to be 50hz junk or the US 60hz correct version ?

I'm expecting it to be 50hz. Will be downloading anyway.

Wow. The second I did'nt believe it anymore. Donkey Kong Country. INSTANT BUY ! The THREE of them !!

DKC for certain.
Even in NA where 4 eShop indies are out, I have zero interest in any of them.
I've already played the rather obnoxious Ballpoint Universe, done with stiff platformers (coughPaperMonsterscough) and there is no way that Byrne has added near enough content to justify paying 15$ for Lone Survivor.
It's, well it's junk.
People that liked junk like SlenderMan will probably enjoy it for 10 minutes, but it's just so high and mighty.
It tries to be this wonderfully challenging, existential experience when really, it's no deeper than Ping.
A neat idea, it just doesn't pull it off.

I'm starting to wonder if this will be the discount period Frozenbyte finally reveals Trine Redux's release date.
Apparently, they're making during a sale on Trine 2 and want to release it in November. Now would be a good time.
As far as I know, nothing is currently planned for November 4, 6 / 7th on Wii U, so having Trine drop then would be smart.
Knowing indie devs, Tengami or Pier Solar HD would come out the same day and force me to choose..

i got lone survivor a long time ago and still don't know how to play it and it is very loud. i really like corpse party much better. even the anime was scary. woo hoo for spooky halloween games!

As someone else already asked, is Squid Odissey still crossbuy? And what's this Survivor Heroes....£27? Never heard of it.

Well done Nintendo! Some great VC coming up. I might hold back though because money is tight and surely Shovel Knight is just round the corner for us Europeans.

That DLC for hydrule warriors should already be in the game

Hope more people try Squids Odyssey, SteamWorld Dig, and TNT Racers now that they're on sale.
I'll be getting DKCTF and Lone Survivor.

Hope Squids Odyssey is good on 3DS. Gonna buy it.

@llamareborn @andrea987 Squids Odyssey is still crossbuy on 3DS - in Europe - according to the developer's twitter feed. Going to be picking it up during this sale myself.
