Nintendo Download: 28th May (North America)

Why was there a delay with this one? I know it isn't you guys at NL.com.
Also, why does Europe get it on Monday and we in NA only get it the day it goes into effect?

Has anyone played the 3DS version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2?
I saw a 3 sentence review saying that there is no Free-Roaming, but the game description in the eShop says there is.

I cannot find any review for this version of the game at all, only reviews I ever see are for the Home Consoles. Not the Portable Consoles!

The Ninja Turtles games are also on sale.

Ok. just curious is all.

Anyone who might be thinking of downloading Don't Starve: Giant Edition want to trade their unused buddy code with me? I have Guacamelee, OlliOlli (both Wii U and 3DS) and SteamWorld Dig (both Wii U and 3DS) codes I'd be willing to trade with.

If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll get back to you when I come home from work later.

Lucky Americans getting MMBN 3 (earlier) and 4 (today)!

[insert no Metroid Zero Mission complaints]

I voted Splatoon but I will be picking up the hard copy.

Don't Starve looks cool, but with Splatoon and the darn amiibos I can't spend another $15 this week. Too bad still no 3DS VC.

I wish we'd get some Wii games.... but I guess we gotta wait for Megaman games to end.... Splatoon won't be for a while either as it costs way too much in North America. The price will have to come down $20-$30 before I even consider it.

@Grumblevolcano
I added in the Wii games complaint for you.

I would say Splatoon, but the game has to be put on hold for me...so...yeah. How large is the game anyways, thinking of getting it digitally for some reason. lol

Er, maybe e-mail if you're interested: [email protected] or DM me on Twitter @biscuitspace. Thanks!

Where is Mega Man's Soccer on SNES?!!

@Grumblevolcano - And Splatoon for only $60 w/o the 10% demo discount.

Well at least our lorry didn't get stolen. (That word cracks me up.)

Splatoon retail, glad there's nothing else I want to DL, funds are limited. Not even trying to find the amibo.

Little heads up, in the post it says that Battle Network 4 is the last of the series to hit GBA. However, Megaman Battle Network 5 & 6 did both come out on GBA; 5 did have a special combo game come out on the DS, but it didn't stop the GBA releases

Wayne Gretzky 3d hockey n64 Please. Let's make it happen. Everyone start supporting this (Yea, it probably will never happen but I'm proud to try)

Splatoon theme, and then tomorrow comes my GOTY. Physical for life. I still need to buy MMX3 and MMZ2. 😅

Free american Guacameele Wii U eShop code, first come first serve!

Just, please comment when you take it.

Which Mega Man Battle Network is better: Red Sun or Blue Moon?

I was going to buy Splatoon but since we don´t have any discount like people in Europe i won´t. Besides in America the game is more expensive than Europe, so i'll save for Yoshy's woolly world

I recently beat MMZ3 on my DS in the MMZ Collection. Fantastic game.
And a DSiWare shmup? It's just like the good old days! Hopefully it's good.

when will we be getting zero mission?

and here's hoping that we get mega man ZX, ZXA and I guess the star force games next year! MMZero collection would be good too.

Splatoon! Retail. I'll also have fun not getting amiibo...but I'm still going to try.

@Retro_on_theGo
yeah, zero 3 is hands down the best of the series, and I love the version on the collection, because the eReader cards are just crazy.

The original GBA one is apparently better quality, while the collection was censored and altered in a few places.

@ThomasBW84 "This was the last in this RPG spin-off series to arrive on the Game Boy Advance, though it did then progress onto the DS."

This is wrong. The entire series was on GBA. MMBN 5 and 6 thus were on GBA. MMBN 5 was the only one to appear on the DS and that one appeared on both GBA and DS. No "progressing" to DS at all.

Edit: I see. You already corrected that.
Edit 2: Oh, ChaosValentine was faster than me.

Nobody played Amazing Spider-Man 2?

@Olmectron And.. Yoink! Thanks Olmectron.

so in Canada Splatoon cost $70 Plus $40 for the 3 amiibo. Poor form Nintendo. I will buy the game but I'll be locked out of Content because I don't think that the content of this game is worth $110. I've been a huge backer of Nintendo this generation but if this trend continues I'll have to back out.

The impression I originally had about Amiibo's is you would basically have one per Nintendo character which could be used in a number of different games. What's it has turned into is each game comes with it's own Amiibo to unlock all of the content in the game. Mario Party was a clear example of this and this is the worth example yet because you require 3 different amiibos to unlock all of the content in the game. Very bad trend

if you're that person that say "wish the pokemon theme release in NA" in the news that say europe gets 3 pokemon theme. here it is and i told you it will release in america

anyway you don't need to say "wish american get [inset name here]" when europe get something that american didn't already because it will release in america

That many people said nothing when we have Splatoon? I'm lost I assumed it would sell at least half as many as Mario Kart. I know people that learned about the game and said that's it now I want a Wii U

Has anybody noticed the lack of any additions to the 3DS VC line up as of late? Not that I think it's lacking it's just kind of surprising.

Not purchasing digital retail games, so nothing for me this week. Maybe will get a disc version of Splatoon when it arrives in my country. Just maybe.

Don't starve (split with a friend), Splatoon 3ds theme, Splatoon retail and hopefully my Amiibo preorder won't be cancelled expensive week.

9.99 for Zumba World Party is a steal! I love the game and paid full retail price

The 3DS VC will be exploding with =NEW= content soon....

I'll be mainly picking up discounts this time around, taking the wait-and-see approach with Splatoon.

also i think that NoA is being harsh on american gamer compared to NoE as NoA did priced splatoon to $59.99 for the us wii u eshop .but i do understand that NoA have to sell this game for $59.99 because splatoon is a most participated wii u game this year after all. but i already know that local shop cost much cheaper than in wii u eshop/online store(no duh to me)

The 3DS e-shop has become a weekly joke. Nothing but 1 or 2 shovelware games, and no VC whatsoever. The same batch of games being recycled on sale too. I'm losing my faith in it as a whole.

Getting the Splatoon theme and probably the game physically tomorrow...now if I can get the three pack.

I'm getting a hard copy of Splatoon tomorrow

Hope the Mighty Switch Force Theme comes to Europe soon too.

And like that the Splatoon theme isn't on the theme store while the others are....

Splatoon here I come! If I had more money I'd probably get one of the new 3DS themes.

Best thing this week is that the SNES Wii U VC still lives!

I don't see the splatoon theme yet. I'm guessing it'll go up tomorrow to release with the game?

I just downloaded RCR:DX last night with the discounted price and picking up Splatoon tomorrow at GameStop, so nothing for me this week.

I thought the NES Brain Culture games Little Ninja Brothers and Flying Warriors (?) was being released today. Or is that just for Europe. Are these games good? LNB seems like a jrpg and action mix.

@KnightRider666 who would have thought them releasing a DSIware game before a VC game. Sigh. So many good NES and GB/C games they could release. I want Guardian Legend

Well, Splatoon of course. Bought it since Saturday.

WONDERLAND actually looks good! Seems difficult to die based on the hitbox, but otherwise inspired by Touhou, according to the Youtube video I watched.

I got Splatoon today for some reason. It's sooo good.

What about Golden Sun Part II?

I'm most excited for Splatoon, but since I'm getting that physically, I voted Don't Starve since I'm actually going to download that.

Splatoon!!

Splatoon. Was there ever a doubt really?

And yes, I'm gonna go for a retail download.

I remember wanting taht DSiWare game a while ago. Glad to see it finally come over.

when will dsiware die?

@Captain_Toad You're welcome.

(insert my weekly "Where the F___ is Zero Mission! Bleh! You hate Metroid, NoA!" rant here) Now with that out of the way, Splatooooooon! I'm so excited, even though I won't be able to online really at home.

a little upset about the splatoon pricing so I'll pass until NoA drops the price.

36 euros is about 40 USD. I see no reason to pay $20 more for a game.

NoA really needs to explain this.

My funds are going to amiibo this week. As excited as I am for Splatoon, I can get that any time I want. The amiibo are going to be a lot more rare.

Ooh, Don't Starve comes out today? I had forgotten about it!

Thanks to Nintendo's lack of Brazilian distribution (and my insistence on owning boxed games), I'm not expecting to get my copy of Splatoon until the end of next week at the very least. It's gonna be nice to have another anticipated game to tide me over until then.

Splatoon is so expensive. $59? While Europe gets it for for 34 Euros and some are getting it physically as low as 22..

I HATE how we get big releases only on freakin' Fridays. Today would have been just as good like Japan.. Friday is just so inconvenient for myself.

I might download VVVVV. I'm really waiting for and excited about Gotcha Racing due in the next 6 weeks or so. Nice to see Nicalis have a sale. They hardly offer sales. VVVVV is the only Nicalis game I need on their sale. I have the rest. That's a good deal for Grinsia. Its a decent RpG. Although Splatoon looks to have some decent online I'm not interested in it.

I picked the Humble Bundle this week for $25. Don't Starve might be a purchase, but I generally am not a rouge-like fan. Splatoon will probably be the choice for June since Xenoblade will not be out.

So we're getting a DSi release, but no 3DS VC release?

Priorities!

Everyone needs to pick up a copy of don't starve. I have it for ps4 and vita with the ps+ and it's a great tough game.

Anyone who doesn't have 1001 Spikes should certainly pick it up. Yes, it's challenging, but it's incredibly fun and rewarding. I bought it at launch and have been playing it frequently ever since. Beating the entire game 100% is one of the most satisfying gaming accomplishments I've had in nearly 30 years of gaming.

Splatoon, but I won't have that kind of dough yet, & I'm gonna attempt to get a Lucina amiibo. Mega Man Zero 3 is the only other thing here, I'd want from this week.

@Drac_Mazoku 1001 Spikes actually received a patch that fixed all the glitches, added off-TV play, and additional controller support. Just delete your bricked game and re-install it.

No Splatoon for me. I don't have $70 to spend on a game plus my gamepad is busted right now. Will wait for it to drop price or my birthday or Christmas to get it. Plus there are other games that I want more.

The 3DS got one thing. One. I can't believe this

@Spoony okay.. althought that i did edit my post because it look like i'm a**hole to the america before i edit it

It's about time Don't Starve makes it to the Wii U eShop! Hahaha! I waited nearly 3 years for this!

Nothing for me this week from the eshop, though I am picking up Lord of Magna this Tuesday from GameStop.

The price for themes keeps going up. They used to be $1.99 for themed ones. Then they went up recently to $2.49 (cause of exchange rate), and now I've seen three that are $2.52; both Shantae themes and the new MSF theme. Add in 13% tax and man, these themes are getting to be really expensive.

If SEGA makes an 3D After Burner II or 3D Out Run theme though, I'll get them. The two themes that came out recently were $1.99 so the price didn't go up for those, and I'm more inclined to get themes at that price. The Eevee theme is cute, but I don't think I'm willing to pay $2.81 for it.

Not bothered at all by there being nothing good this week. I'm still having a blast with Story of Seasons and Puzzles & Dragons!

@Sparx
never, but the 3ds eshop (not just vc) died years ago.

I'll follow Olmectron's lead and share my extra code for SteamWorld Dig 3DS for one lucky reader: A08LN46A04Q2PVDX
Please throw out a comment if you take the code.

@Rockman55
tried it, it was used.

It's the same for 3DS every week. Nothing.
Nintendo is only making Home Theme for the 3DS now, yay! Home Theme is so fun to play with, I'll just buy a 3DS Home Theme and stare at the home screen this weekend.

@Rockman55 Thanks a lot for the code :3

Got TMNT Danger of the Ooze for 3DS (50% off).

60$ is alot!
Im happy its 45€ here (49$)

30min for splatoon!
Cant wait!

Splatoon looks cool, but i'm not really into online mp... wish it had more of a single player campaign. might pick up it later if I see it on sale. Nothing for me this week.

@Donjwolf Just glad someone could take advantage of it. No sense in letting it go to waste.

Voted nothing this week, but will be picking up a retail copy of Splatoon.

I think I will finally get Cave Story 3D since that game has been on my to-buy list for what seems like forever.

@Miko08 Yeah, wish us in NA were seeing a lower price as well. But with retailer Best Buy and GCU (Gamer's Club Unlocked) I was able to preorder at 20% off, so $48 plus tax.

Would get Splatoon if I have a Wii U, but at least there's a Splatoon theme for 3DS! Will get that for my Splatoon dose until I get a Wii U.

OK. Now that Mega May is over, can we get Metroid Zero Mission starting next week?

I'll be getting Don't Starve and Splatoon(latter of which will be retail though, so I voted DS). Between these two games, the Mega Man games and the Nicalis sale, pretty good week.

Well, there has never been a better time for me to buy Cave Story 3D so I guess I'll be picking that up! I loved NightSky, so anyone who is into ambient puzzle games should give it a go. It's totally worth it if you are into the Knytt games like me. They both have the same vibe. I'll be picking up Don't Starve as well, but not right now. Already have plenty of games to play on Wii U. Not so many on Nintendo 3DS.

I can't wait to get a physical copy of Splatoon on Saturday!

gonna get my copy of splatoon at target along with a free splatoon themed watergun. i think thats what the ad said.

I have the Nicalis games on the list for price drops but they are still at the normal price, is anyone getting the same problem?

@bezerker99 I wouldn't count on it.

@TeeJay I've gotten used to it.

1001 Spikes has a terrible audio bug on WiiU. I wrote a detailed description of it for Nicalis and even recorded a video of it for them, and they didn't respond to either message, let alone patch the issue. It's really disappointing because the concept of the game is great.

EDIT EDIT EDIT — just redownloaded the now-patched version, and the bug seems fixed. They also added off screen play-- cool! 1001 Spikes is back on my recommended list!

$70 for Splatoon?!? You can kiss my rear end NoC, I'll get it from the States in a few weeks...

Free Present!!!

A08YVFN70X70VV3A

Don't Starve US Version

@Zach777 I got it!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Link41x 59.99 USD is $74.50 CAD.... lol better if you pay the Canadian price.

Wow almost fell out of my chair when I saw 4 vc games this week!!!!! Keep it going Nintendo!!!

Thank you Nintendo.........my wallet.......smooth week of nothing but playing the loved games we have......

I got Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove. Was only $2, looked pretty cute and I like rhythm games so why not. Might get VVVVV. Definitely getting that Mighty Switch Force theme.

Pokemon shuffle theme should be free just like the game, but make you pay for add ons. hahaha.

@Savino found the wii u hater.

yeah cos $60 for yearly MP CoD with $15 or w/e per map pack is so totally worth it.

Getting the Mega Man games eventually. Also buying Splatoon day one, but I'm getting a physical copy.

@Uberchu If you look solely at launch then CoD actually has the better value, it's the long term in which Splatoon wins as all those added multiplayer maps and modes are free compared with CoD's season pass approach. So I expect Splatoon will be worth $60 in August.

Did the last patch for Grinsia manage to fix the arbitrary crashing issues?
Then $5 wouldn't be a bad price.

I will snag the Grinsia discount. I hope that bug you mention isn't still there, would hate for my first game of theirs to sour me on their future games.

Looks like I will finally be bending to get Cave Story. Maybe this time I can actually finish it, although it won't be the same since I have the PC My Little Pony mod 'Cave Derpy'.

you guys are crazy. im upgrading my wii vc version of rival turf to wii u,
its a good beat em up. so are the other 2 in the snes series

The Nicalis discounts seem to be unavailable in Mexico. They appear on the list but they don't have the "sale" tag and are at their normal price.
EDIT: The Nicalis games have been completely removed from the ¨price drop¨ list. The discounts are not available in all of North America.
