Nintendo Download: 3rd December (Europe)

Might grab the kirby games

Voted for the data packs as they're supposed to be up today for download but also getting the Kirby games.

Too! Much! RPG! Goodness!
Going with Xenoblade for now

XCX promo (thanks for the free XC Wii Nintendo) and the Kirby promos! Digital master race!

Xenoblade and Paper Jam physical for me this week, so I'll download Picross for the free play. While there's other stuff there is like, I know it'd be silly to buy as my time will be occupied with X and will only be broken by Fast.

Definitely getting Power Paintbrush, very interested in Zack & Wiki, and absolutely getting Xenoblade Chronicles from today's sale.

All in all, a great week for gaming!

Nothing for me, at least for now, Paper Jam is a must buy soon or later and Xenoblade is not something to exclude from a wishlist rapidly XD

Getting Xenoblade download packs and Pokémon Picross. Kirby's Power Paintbrush can wait. Got an email today that said my Xenoblade Chronicles X was sent and is on its way. Here's for hoping it'll arrive soon.

Cool, three Virtual Console releases again. Shibata & co. are really stepping up with the virtual console business recently.

Otherwise the week of big releases. Xenoblade Chronicles X, Paper Jam Bros and indie greatness with Human Resource Machine.

Such a damn shame that Nintendo left out the Japanese audio from Xenoblade. They could've added that as optional DLC since it's material that already exists.

I thought the Xenoblade Chronicles X data packs were available today? At 10am CET? That was over an hour ago in the UK...

Oh, man, people need to get Zack & Wiki if they don't have it. Don't let this gem pass you by.

Pokemon Picross, because any Picross is better than lack of Picross.

On yeah! Zack and wiki is awesome. Data packs and Kirby pixelated on the TV for me

Wait, weren't the Xenoblade X install packs supposedly available from today onward?

If you haven't played it already, download Zack and Wiki! It was a awesome game with great puzzles, and did much more interesting stuff with the Wiimote then Skyward sword. The precision isn't that acurate though (far from it). But its still a great game!

@Kaze_Memaryu,

Yeah, they said on this site that you could download the packs in advance. But if they arrive when the game arrives, that's not the case. Strange.

I hope Picross 3D 2 comes to Europe soon.

No pre-load for Xeno?

@Kolzig,
Totally agree!

Nothing for me... oops, forgot the download packs for Xeno X, I've preordered the collector's edition and also a physical version of Mario & Luigi Paper Jam.

Man, this is a rad week for downloads. Awesome Kirby games, the Cyber Deals, even more Picross goodness, the massively underappreciated Zack & Wiki, Paper Jam and of course XCX. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the datapacks still go online before launch; I don't want to spend launch day downloading stuff from the eShop.

I have the limited edition of Xenoblade ordered, so I will just download the packs and Pokemon Picross Yay

Wow, I feel kinda sorry for the people who feel vindicated in attacking Nintendo's weekly eShop updates, because this is fantastic. One great new game on each platform, and then the additions of Zack & Wiki (fantastic and cruely underrated game), a few Kirby games and Swords and Soldiers for less than £1? I'll be busy buying Nintendo games this week!

Ow yeah, xenoblade download all the way!

See you again in summer, guys.

Paper Jam for sure!

How does the pricing of the two Kirby games work? So, if I download both, I have to pay 4,99€ for one and 9,99€ for the other?

The data packs can now be downloaded!

Everyone buy Zak and Wiki,I really can't recommend it enough.There's nothing else out there quite like it.With it being largely ignored at the time,the chances of us ever seeing a sequel to it are basically zero but maybe if it sells well enough on the E-shop Capcom might at least give it some consideration.

Human Resource Machine for me. If you don't have Zack & Wiki, I highly recommend it!

Terrific week! I do already own the excellent pair of Zack & Wiki and Kirby's Mass Attack, but I do need to try Power Paintbrush. However, either one of Xenoblade or Paper Jam will keep me busy for ages!

@Grumblevolcano I'm also downloading them right now. Only I was wondering why do I need 13,5 GB space to download 10 GB?

Is Toki Tori 2+ worth buying for 3 Euros? I really liked the first one.

No pre-download for XCX?

@Humphries90 They're available. Go to the page of XCX on the eShop and select downloadable content!

@Oubie You misunderstand, by pre-download @Humphries90 is referring to the digital version (like with Smash last year) not the data packs for the physical version.

Just checked the eshop and no pre-download,can't believe that.I was originally going to buy the download code from Gamesrocket for 38 pounds but when I saw Xenoblade Chronicles for 8.99 and the discount I thought I might as well get it that way and have the option to download it early.But no,us Europeans don't get that option.

@Grumblevolcano Oops! I did it again haha! I understand it now. Sorry.

I'll add my backing for Zack & Wiki, fabulous game that more people should have experienced first time around, hopefully it'll get a few more fans!

Just the data packs for XCX and I'll try Pokémon Picross out too.

Quite afew this week too get definitely XCX more like the free data packs for the retail version plus Zack & Wiki and maybe the Kirby games also. Mario & Luigi paper jam I'll get retail version.

Awesome to see Zack and Wiki make a return! It was a sorely overlooked title for the Wii.

I would rather get the physical version of XCX, and double check which version of the OS is needed to access eShop.

Why do they keep giving us these third party themes no one is going to buy instead of the nintendo themes from japan everyone wants

ZACK AND FREAKING WIKI!!!!

@NeufNeuf
If you you've downloaded/bought the Wii U game Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush you only pay 4.99€ each for of these VC Kirby games.

Edit
(Ignore, I got confused with the titles)

@Splatburst No, it's simply you buy 1 of the 2 DS games and get the other half price.

@NeufNeuf @Grumblevolcano

Whooops! Sorry! I got confused in the titles of the DS and Wii U games!

I regret selling Zack and Wiki.

Nothing for me... Although this isn't a bad week at all. No money :/ I guess I'll try Pokemon's latest F2P

Woo I can't wait until Xenoblade hits! Putting everything else down to play this!

@Splatburst @Grumblevolcano
All right, thanks for that. Sounds like a good deal (And I also get confused sometimes by the Kirby Games)

Can't wait for you guys' Xenoblade X review! Been waiting a long time!

Zenoblade data packs for me. I might also have a try of pokemon picross

XCX retail for me. Friday can't come soon enough!

Nice to see Zack and Wiki given another chance. Guess this pretty much confirms that we're getting the rest of Capcom's Wii games (Except maybe the Wii offline version of MH3 but then again they did put up 4 versions of Street Fighter II already....oh and that certain crossover fighting game too.)

I want the Kirby games, but I'm in America, so I won't get them for three months, give or take.

Xenoblade and Human Resources Machine for sure. Zak and Wiki was fun up unti the end, when the broken sword fighting motion detection just ruined the game for me. If Capcom has carried out some much-needed bug fixing I'd be all over it.

HELLOOOOO I hope that Zack & Wiki comes to NA eShop. I've heard good things but I'm kinda lazy to go find a copy. Not caring about the Kirby games, they're two I never played or cared about D:

Erm, great week. But am I the only one seeing you guys (Nintendolife) saying there are three wii games on VC this week when in fact its just one?

Pokemon Picross for me 😄

Soooo... no Xeno X donwload packs today as they already promised earlier?

So the XCX with XC discount is still more expensive than retail XCX. As I predicted.

I'd have downloaded Rainbow Paintbrush yesterday if I had known about the Kirby sales this week...

@Bass_X0 You don't need Rainbow Paintbrush for the sales. Power Paintbrush makes Mass Attack reduced and vice versa.

I really wish Nintendo would extend the same offers/discounts to those of us who've bought the game at retail, after all we've also supported and bought their title. It just seems unfair that we're never considered.

Oh. I read it properly now. Thanks. I'll be downloading both of the Kirby games then.

Xenoblade Chronicles X physical for me. Cant believe their charging £49.99 to download it when it's only £39.99 in Game.

I'd say I'm looking forward to the Kirby games getting released on the North Americal VC, except that they probably won't be.

@Marshi you are not only one, I was disappointed that there was only 1 Wii game. Though it looks like we might be getting a capcom Wii game once a month for a while which would be greatly appreciated

Zack & Wiki is one of the best Wii games and, because of its visual style, has aged well.

Wow!! Zack & Wiki holy cow!! America won't get anytime soon!!😡😡

I guess NA will get another lame GBA game release on the VC this week as usual.

Downloading those data packs as we speak. Looking forward to Friday very much.

Zack and Wiki would be a good choice too; a fantastic gem of a game.

@shigulicious Same, it was pretty great.
I wonder if AeternoBlade is good at that price.

Will get swords & Soldiers for sure for that price

Why no N64 love?
Why Nintendo?
