Nintendo Download: 3rd November (Europe)

What a terrible week! Hello PS4

Hmmm...not a bad week for me personally. Still hoping to know when the HW/L DLC will be available today...

F-Zero X - this is a must (re)get for me. Played the ass off it on N64. It probably handles like a drunken bear nowadays but I'll definitely pick it up for nostalgias sake

What a week

I got message saying the HWL pack is out, but can't update the game as yet

Get the discounts from 2 weeks ago while you still can!

You should probably point out that the Hyrule Warriors DLC will be (is?) out today.

I've been looking forward to Twusted Fusion for at while now, and I'm surprised it's only €5. I also have the HW season pass, so getting that DLC as well (Yuga FTW!) Overall a good week!

I'm intrigued by Ice Station Z, but having played Wobbly Tooth's other games, I'm pretty sure I know it won't be worth the time. Looking forward to the NL review. (Please don't take months to review it!)

I wonder if that Cartoon Network game uses the same engine as Punch Time Explosion..? I hope not, for its sake.

@ottospooky If it comes to US this week, I'll definitely give F-Zero X a try. GX was my entry point into the series, but it's been so long since I've played it, X should help with my three F-Zero withdrawal symptoms;
1. Itching to play a new game on Nintendo's current system.
2. Twitching at the thought of the thrill of taking a hairpin turn at insane speeds.
3. B****ing at Nintendo for every time they make something F-Zero-related that isn't a new F-Zero game.

I think I'll give Ice Station Z a try. I'm busy with Fallout 4 (quite late, I know) and halloween discounts but I need to give my good ol' 3DS some love.

Wasn't the Sega 3D Classics also supposed to be a physical release also? I can't seem to find a retailer selling the UK version.

Boring....
Better wait for Pokemon Sun / Moon.

More crap. Different week, same story.

Want the Sega collection, but can't see it listed on Amazon for a physical release yet?

F-ZERO X?!FINALLY!
Getting Ravio and Yuga and F0X if i have 2 euros left-over on the e-shop(already bought it on Wii so I'll only upgrade it).

Bad week, I'll just continue playing Chrono Trigger on my 3DS.

Ice Station Z looks awful and wonderful at the same time.
Is it gonna have voice chat actually? That would be reason enough to me to buy.

Nothing of interest aside from Hyrule Warriors DLC, so pretty underwhel-
"F-Zero X"
Time to be drivin' through on max.

F Zero X!!!!
Like Pokemon TCG before it, given I've moaned about it for years I guess I'd better buy it now it's available.
Always loved the random cup.

Will get Sega Collection if i can find a physical copy, Is it even getting a physical release?

@allav866 "If it comes to US this week"

It won't.

I thought the 3d classics collection might of been a bit cheaper considering its a download £25 seems steep for a collection of retro games

@speedyboris NoA has been playing catch-up with its VC releases. I want to be at least a little bit optimistic.

I'll buy the Sega 3D Classics Collection physically... IF I CAN ACTUALLY FIND A SHOP THAT'S SELLING IT!

Also getting Twisted Fusion, because it looks fun, and is at a good price.

Nothing for me this week, WHICH IS GOOD as I don't really want to spend any more money and I don't need to buy something every week.

Though still toying with one or more of the Halloween sales after grabbing all the GBA Castlevanias. Perhaps one of the Gouls and Ghosts?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah, those comments are getting quite samey week after week.

@ThomasBW84 You might want to correct the date for the Hyrule Warriors DLC. it says 21st October

where do i buy sega 3d classics from cant find it anywhere

Good to know that new VC games that are not just region catch ups are still possible this late in the game, especially N64 games.

Now if they want to catch up with the Wii, Nintendo only has Puzzle League and Smash Bros left. Bomberman Hero will ultimately be up to Konami and I don't think Orge Battle 64 will be arriving since the Square Enix support has been a lowsy 1 game but its close enough. At least we finally got DK64 to make up for that?

Oh and as usual, WHERE ARE THE TG GAMES? T.T

It's stating the obvious, but this makes for pretty dispiriting reading each week. Bar re-released old games and discounts on some good older games there hasn't been anything much to get excited about for months, particularly on Wii U. I have spent much of this generation catching up on really old games from past systems that I missed. Without the virtual console and some re-makes it would have been a pretty barren lanscape!

The early death of AAA content on Nintendo home consoles seems to be a feature of each hardware cycle recurring with depressing regularity. After enduring it on four successive consoles I'm not sure I'm ready to jump into Switch, no matter how enticing it seems from this standpoint. Maybe it's time for me to kick my Nintendo habit and get a PS4.

@Blister Agreed, except that Wii got some really good games late in its lifecycle. And you really should get a PS4 if you're running out of games, it has a lot of games that aren't on Wii U.

@Mahe I think you probably have a point regarding the Wii. Cheers.

For a brief moment I thought it said F Zero GX, that Gamecube had come to the virtual console... You're sitting on a gold mine Nintendo. USE IT.

This is a good week compared to what we've been having, you're all crazy. Finally a new Wii U virtual console release

F-Zero X upgrade and Hyrule Warriors DLC (Wii U and 3DS).

WII U GOT BOOST POWERRRRRRRRRRRR

Wonder if this will be the third time Mario's Super Picross gets an EU "import" release of the game and yet still not still be released in NA for whatever reason.

@Scapetti Point taken, but I also note the key words in your post: "compared to".

Twisted Fusion and F-Zero X for me this week plus Hyrule Warriors DLC.

nothing for me sense i live in north america lol

Sega 3d Classics is so good

Im gonna wait for a review of Ice Station Z as I'm intrigued but don't have the money to waste when I blew a lot on the Kenzo x H&M collection :/

To those who are wondering where the physical copy for Sega 3D Classics Collection is being sold in the UK, it's available at Argos (for £24.99, same as eShop). It's supposedly an Argos exclusive according to a rather quiet reply to a comment on Sega Europe's Twitter account. Confusing as to why it's only on Argos, but it's better than it being an eShop exclusive.

@ThomasBW84 "Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers (GameMill Entertainment, €29.99 / £19.99) - A retail title only arriving as a download on 3DS in Europe."
Turns out that's not true, Argos apparently have it: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4769622

@ThomasBW84 Me, too!
