Nintendo Download: 16th April (North America)

DK64 is the first thing I'll get. Then Streetpass games.

I'll think about DK64. The Yoshi theme might be cute...

No Puzzle & Dragon demo.

Is the Yoshi theme free? You didn't put the price.

Just the Smash DLC for me I guess. Still waiting on those 1st party GBA titles that EU has and the next Ubisoft sale.

God what a terrible week! Only thing i want is DK 64.

Nothing for me. I haven't been able to buy the New 3DS yet and won't be able to until at least June and still have to send in my old XL & GamePad to be fixed. Man I am really going through gamers' withdrawal. LOL

I loved the first COSTUME QUEST... So I might grab part 2 and then wait untill Halloween to tell the kids, lol.

A good week to spend part of my tax return on digital games and dlcs. Almost like they planned it. Anyways, mark me up for all the dlcs and Paparazzi, maybe Castle Conqueror EX if the price is right. Still have to get that Kirby Triple Deluxe game before the sale is over (4/20).

I really enjoy the streetpass games, so I'll be getting those. It's usually pretty difficult for me to get Streetpass hits on a normal day, but I'm visiting New York City soon, so I'll certainly get some hits there.

9.99 for a 16 year old N64 game? Come on Nintendo.

ALL the Streetpass DLC. Just in time for Gen Con and other conventions. Thank you, Nintendo !!

I'll get DK64 when I'm done with the DKC trilogy.

I grew bored of streetpass so I'm going to pass on this new set of games.

If I didn't already have DK for my N64 I'd probably get that

SO ITS FINALLY HERE, PERFORMING FOR YOU, IF YOU KNOW THE WORDS YOUR CAN JOIN IN TOO!! HUH!!!

Appropriate now the US has DK64

The discount on Lucadian Chronicles is a very good deal - lots of gameplay for $5, anyone who enjoys strategy or card games in real life should check it out!

Don't believe me? NintendoLife review gave it an 8/10.

Got all the Mii DLC outfits and Mewtwo on both versions yesterday, I will be good for a while longer.

I just want all the new Streetpass DLC. Nintendo hurry up and put it up already so I can download it.

Donkey Kong 64 for sure!

Getting DK64 for sure.

If you're thinking of getting Costume Quest 2, please do. Such an underrated game.

Lucadian Chronicles cannot be recommended more by me, especially at that price. Dark Roast has done an excellent job of supporting it and the game is extremely well done for a card strategy game.

Just DK for me.

ill be getting BOTH streetpass games tho not the vip one, they look really fun

Is there much difference between the two fantasy zones games? is the sequel worth it if you have the first one, or is this a one or the other situation?

I'll be getting a Wii U soon so I'll get DK64 without a doubt then, but I will absolutely be getting the StreetPass goodies today. I think StreetPass is one of my favorite 3DS features - if you do a google search for info on these StreetPass things, look for a Gamefaqs forum thread about it. Some people with Japanese 3DS' already have it and it sounds worth it to have VIP if you StreetPass frequently.
You'll get plaza tickets for birthday streetpasses, can skip greetings, apply wallpaper to your greeting text, etc. — pretty neat.

Yucky week. Where are our Wii games? I really want Kirby

Another vote for the big monkey. I never played this one back in the day, so I am looking forward to it.

And I am tempted to get the Megaman related costumes.

Donkey Kong!!!

Its nice to have choices..

@ThomasBW84 maybe you could remind people that there are a few days left in the Spring Sale that ends on Monday April 20th. If you add those games to these it makes the week look better. Oh, I'll just do it for you.

I have been waiting for Donkey Kong 64 forever on the Virtual Console. Probably my fave DK game of all time, but I'm also eagerly waiting for the Mii Plaza DLC as well.

Nothing for me...

I picked up a perfect condition DK64 cartridge from a thrift store recently for $10, so I think I'll play that. I still have my N64 hooked up

Streetpass and DK64...

7:30am here in LA, are those Streetpass games up yet or is it just me?

Ooooh banana!... err I mean Donkey Kong 64 is what I'll be getting today.

@shigulicious I wouldn't mind Pandora's Tower. I wasn't able to get a copy of that.

@CanisWolfred I thought the demo was supposed to come at the end of April, I'm looking forward towards it too.

Just done the 3DS Street Pass Update gana buy the new games now ^^
-
I cant find the bundle for the 2 Games (UK 3DS)
-
Got it! https://www.dropbox.com/sc/biy4q4wwfc2cygz/AAC1vZcdYm46KYeLzfcReprpa it may have been as I went into it so fast?

@DiscoGentleman I know the PS3 version of Costume Quest 2 received a patch so the Wii U version probably did too.

A-Train actually came out on the 14th. It's really indepth so fans of deep simulation games should enjoy it.

I guess I just don't get the difficulty in putting more Wii games on the eshop. It's basically a pointer to the wii virtual console that's already built into the system. It would be nice if they could put up the original Xenoblade, Skyword Sword, Other M and a bunch of other wii games I didn't know about until recently. The problem is they come out with new Virtual Console (wii, N64, DS), they support it for a month and then you don't hear from them again

Since I'm trying to save some money I won't be buying anything but some Smash DLC costumes. I'd like to check DK 64, but I still need to finish SM64

I might get the streetpass games. I don't have the old ones yet. Are they any good?

@Volmun can I ask how you did it? I'm in the us NY state and I haven't been able to update at all, it keeps telling me I'm up to date and it's driving me crazy.

~so they're finally here, performing for you -

if you know the words - you can join in too~

Already bought Fantasy Zone 2, was waiting for that one.
For someone who only knew the Sega Master System version, this is quite different in how the zones within a level work, shop placement, life meter and so on. Still, I love the music, the 3D effect is excellent, and I am looking forward to unlocking some stuff, we'll see.
Honestly, that's how you remake/remaster classic games, those Sega 3D ports are just awesome.

Will NintendoLife be reviewing the new Streetpass games?

@natsugami mabe give it a Bit of time as the UK and US stors update at diffrnt times- For me i just checked the update plaza option every so offten lol it was annoying me too (and stressing me out a bit after the last time with all the glitches) Best of luck to you.

The streetpass games sounds interesting, sadly I don't get a lot of hits out my way.

No 3ds vc again. If it wasn't for sega or capcom there would be nothing nowadays. Dk 64 is great,but what's with the chaotic almost random releases on wii u vc? Can we please finish up with gba games before moving on to ds&n64?

Nothing for now. I'm still waiting on some outline for their Club Nintendo replacement.

I still haven't been able to download the Streetpass updates. Anyone not get it yet as well?

Does anyone else know when the eshop gets updated? No DK64 up yet

@zeldagaymer93

In about 10 minutes... unless they don't do daylight savings for the e-shop releases. Then it is an hour and 10 minutes

Definitely getting Donkey Kong 64.

I voted for 3DS Fantasy Zone II, but I'll also be getting the Streetpass games. I only need 12 more pieces for the Monster Hunter puzzle panel to finish all of my puzzle panels.

I've lost all hope we'll ever see the eShop here in Brazil.

I want to play A-Train: City Simulator, but 30 obamas...
Maybe $25...

@MKCustodial Well, the 3DS e-Shop have a Brazilian version, but mostly Brazilians that I know have canadian accounts (to pay less for a title).

@Palom YES!

The new StreetPass games are up and there's a Thank-You bundle if you've previously purchased the older StreetPass games. Both of the new games for $6.99.

Hasn't Code of Princess been on sale for almost two years straight now?
Still, some nice updates.

Prepare thy nostalgia-goggles and put away them pitchforks. DK64 FINALLY appears in the NA VC!

Heh, the 3DS gets some good stuff in the shop this week. Too bad I'm still broke...

@FcsevenXIII Oh no, a ten dollar game that costed 70$ on release. Shame on you Nintendo. sarcasm

Wallet is safe for another week.

@Cyberbotv2 I smile everytime I see a comment from you because I love your MoonWalker image lol. So, cheers for that!

I'm grabbing DK64 at some point, mostly for the novelty factor.

@MJKOP : Same here! I wish Moonwalker would show up again on the VC. That would stop my belly aching!

Time to bust out the dollar bills- DK64 has arrived!

Seems like I'm spending $10-30 a week, sometimes more, on VC and DLC for Wii U/3DS. Not that I'm complaining. More money spent means more great games in the collection.

THEY ARE FINALLY HERE, PERFORMING FOR YOU

Just finished downloading the new Streetpass games and they're both awesome. Just wish I'd saved more of my older Plaza tickets for the newer goodies coming out. Time to earn some more then.

DK64 and fantasy zone II baby! I wish sega would put some classics on wii u already!!

DK64 for me. I never played it on the N64, so this should be a nice treat.

The Street Pass games and Fairune... how much does it costs now?

@Palom both are classic sega shooters! Grab em!!

@DiscoGentleman It's a very charming RPG with great storytelling and worldbuilding. Its problems come mostly from frame rate and platform optimization issues, but they're not enough to warrant the 6 grade Nintendo Life gave the game in my opinion. I spent about eleven hours to get everything, and loved every minute.

EDIT: Not 100% sure if it received a patch, but I do remember reading something about that.

The only right answer is DK64

Grabbed Fantasy Zone II 3D and the new street pass content. Still, another week without any 3DS VC games...

Laughing @ the whining over $10 pricing for DK64. It'll easily be $20+ for the original cart and if you need the expansion pack that'll probably be another $25+, so this is clearly a good deal if you don't own one or the other.

@R-Moss Yeah, I only found out about that after I had created my profile, and now I have to much info on it to erase it and start over. :/

Still, I'd rather be able to do everything the proper way, you know what I mean?

Probably the Mii costumes when I get more credit to my e-Shop account. Edit: I might also get DK64, just for the inclusion of the DK arcade.

I got the Smash DLC last night and got the bundle of the Mii outfits last night. I'll get MewTwo later this month. DK64 is mine, and the arcade perfect DK game within will be mine once again... oh how I miss it. Yes, I will pay $10 and play a portion of the game JUST to unlock it. Fairune was already dirty cheap, and it's going to be discounted further? Guess I'll really have to pick that up now. I don't know why, but I'm still a sucker for some Streetpass games, so I'll likely get the bundle on that too. On top if this, MK8 to play. I've got a packed night ahead of me.

Got DK64 and the Smash DLC. I think the DLC is a bit pricey for just some costumes, but I'm a completionist, what can I say. Guess that explains why I love DK64. And next week, MK8 DLC that I already bought and Mewtwo. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

I would love that train game Sim. I will wait for a sale if it gets one or just jump in in a few months and pay the 29.99. Looks cool I've always wanted to play a train sim

Nothing this week but I did pick up Affordable Space Adventures. What a great game with a good sense of humor; I hope it doesn't get forgotten come award time.

Here, Here, Here we go...

So they're finally here,
Performing for you,
If you know the words,
You can join in to...

Put your hands together,
If you want to clap,
As we take you through,
This Monkey Rap...

D.K... Donkey Kong!

He's the leader of the Bunch,
You know him well,
He's finally back,
To kick some tail!

His Coconut Gun,
Will fire in spurts,
If he shoots ya,
It's gonna hurt!

He's bigger, faster,
And stronger too,
He's the first member,
Of the DK Crew...

D.K... Donkey Kong!

Why does the "Nothing for me this week" option and its voters displease me so much? My distaste is irrational. A cure for a major illness could be available and "Nothing for me" would still be voted. Ha!

Though I won't be picking it up this week as soon as I want a classic DK game to play I am going directly to the E-Shop to purchase DK 64 !

I would consider DK64 but I'm not a fan of the collectathon nature of it. If only they would put it at a cheaper price for the first day, just to persuade people on the fence to just impulsively buy VC games when they first come out, sort of like how they made the Wii classics only $10 at first.

@Spoony
How does is it compare to the classic Transport Tycoon?

I bought the Mii Plaza Thank-you bundle and so far am not regretting it.

Will North America also get the StreetPass weekend free 3DS theme too?

I don't understand the hate for Donkey Kong 64, I enjoy it more the Banjo and it still holds up great imo. Yes it's a collect fest but really it's not that bad. One of my favourite games of all time, most ppl will laugh at that statement.

Amazing Music
Amazing Graphics for the Time
Long game so well worth the 80-90$ we had to pay in Canada in 1999 which was like 130$ in today's inflation.

I never understood the hate this game got.

Anyways I picked up Donkey Kong 64 and loving it so far, much better FRAMERATE then the 64 version.

@mrGREEK360
Loved DK64, still do, but collecting the 100 bananas per ape per stage was a bit much... not necessary to complete the game, but still kinda crazy.

I think that's why people hated the game? other than that, I enjoyed it. but I'm a completionist... so I'll be collecting those little bananas all over again... -_-

I have already made a Proto Man Mii, and he has defeated Mega Man at Wily's castle.

Although if I wanted Proto Man to win, I suppose I could have saved some money and just played a bad round of Mega Man 3...

ugh. FZIIW deserves more votes than this....

@MagicEmperor

It could be that some people only have the 3DS or Wii U and there is nothing they want for their one platform. Neither list is really overall great. DK is a nice Gem but that is Wii U only.

SEGA PLEASE MAKE YOUR CLASSICS ON WII U VC!!! PLEASE?? TAKE MY MONEY!!💰💰💰

@MagicEmperor Judging by the votes, the "nothing for me" option got 19% votes, which is unusually low. Normally on an "average" week it's closer to 50%.

I voted the DK64 of course, been waiting since forever, but I also got the Streetpass Mii Plaza updates, free Mewtwo DLC, and I purchased both Zelda-related costumes and the cat suits in Smash Bros. And free MK8 DLC/Updates next week (because I prepaid months ago). My only gripe about the VIP room in the Mii Plaza is it doesn't retroactively apply the birthdays if you've already got hundreds of tagged Streetpass Miis in your plaza.

When the hell are they gonna release more Wii VC games??? They always do this where they rollout a new system, release a couple of games & then it disappears for weeks at a time.

Why does the "Nothing for me this week" option and its voters displease me so much?

Non-Americans are voting too.

At least 2% of the people are buying A-Train. That's better than I thought.

@Bass_X0 That's true (though there are separate pages for NA and EU), but 3D Fantasy Zone II W came out both regions. It's reasonably priced and it's the arcade style sequel that the original FZ should have had back in the day.
