Nintendo Download: 19th January (Europe)

Something is missing, but I can't really put my finger on it...

Don't see the point in buying anything for Wii U anymore, as I will just have to buy it again on switch.

Nothing for me, and that is fine!

Money saved for a future purchase. Although I believe I still want to buy something from last week's discounts.

The Switch can't come quick enough.

What's the odds RCMADIAX will we there day one?

Not great.

I'm really on the fence about Yoshi & Poochy, so that demo is a very welcome surprise!

Aqua TV. Any opinions if it is worth it at a discount?

What a great week.
I can't make a negative comment, I'm a Nintendo fan

I'll be interested in getting DQVIII eventually, but I won't grab it anytime soon since I've still not completed the story in DQVII. I'm tempted with picking up Poochy and Yoshi Wooly World, so the demo will be useful for me.

Woolly Demo!

@AlexSora89 Knowing GF, it's still unfinished or quite buggy and I wouldn't be suprised if they delay it further :/

Edit: GTS needs an update as well, to follow the 7th gen poke variants.

@KTT
Given the fiasco that was the bank's launch back in the Kalos days, I wouldn't be surprised either. Thing is, and I can't stretch it enough, I want my Articuno in Alola.

@SanderEvers
Unquestionably so.

@AlexSora89
Huh ?
So Pokemon Bank for Sun / Moon will start tomorrow ?

I love yarn Yoshi on wiiu and won't be getting it on 3ds. But will try the demo.
I'd love to see the yarn Yoshi video clips tho

Meh, Breath of the Wild is the last Wii U game I'll be buying.

@AlexSora89 Right? I'm dying to get my shiny collection over to Alola.

Woop. With all the Switch excitement, I forgot about Dragon Quest VIII. I'll be getting that this weekend

Midnight 2 for me, think I'll give it a go.

Abysmal week. All the discounted games stink and...seriously, do developers think 0,20 cent off is a "discount" now?! Like "I was on the fence about buying that game but oh boy, €0,20 off is sooo tempting...now I can buy the game AND with the money I save, I can get one single chewing gum!!"

@AlexSora89 Shouldn't be much longer to wait... I saw an article a few days ago saying that someone at Game Freak had confirmed that the update would go live this month.

C'mon and showcase some of the other Sanrio characters.
I needs me some Keroppi. 🐸💕

Will be getting Dragon quest and likely try the demo for Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World but that is it for this week.

@Tsurri I don't own the game yet as I don't own a Wii U. It's just that after the Switch trailer came out I'm hesistant to buy any 3ds game, especially the ports I was really hoping for in the past (Mario maker is one of those titles as well). If there is a good chance that we will see Switch ports of games like these in the first two years or so, I'd rather wait and play all the other games that I haven't finished yet. Having said that, if I really enjoy the demo I might get it anyway. Thanks for your recommendation!

@Anti-Matter
In a perfect world, I guess so. Not so much given how slow Nintendo can be at times.

@DragonEleven
Unless of course what I like to call "technically insert-release-date-here" kicks in. The term I came up with refers to whenever something is merely released on what technically is the release date (case in point: the GBA Ambassador games, promised "before 2012", came out during December 2011).

I hope NA will get the Poochy & Yoshi demo. I will be getting DQ8 physically. Can't wait to play it.

@GoldenGamer88
Same here. Especially given I have a shiny Ditto. Do the math.

@KTT
I have a black Charizard, among other things.
And I can't wait to see how the guy does against the Battle Tree.

No thanks, I'll buy Dragon Quest VIII on the PlayStation 2 instead because of the censorship and the bad graphics.

@AlexSora89 Didnt they say Feb for that? Updates for software don't usually show up in weekly download press releases....

I was tempted by Dragon Quest VIII (it's a great game on PS2), but I just can't support outfit censorship as I'm so opposed to the politics behind it.

Is Nintendo expected to put anything else on Wii U VC now?

I think the Wii u e-shop discounts will die out pretty quickly when the Switch is out. A pity, since there are quite some games left that I would still like at a discount.

@neyoung8,

Probably not. Same for new downloads, everything goes to Switch.

@AlexSora89 The further away from release you are, the more likely that gets, but now that we're in their release window, and have apparently been given recent confirmation that it will be released this month, it's unlikely that it will be delayed.

@G-Boy There's censorship?

@Calllack This game is unfortunately one of the most censored 3DS games ever.

@DragonEleven
I could understand the radio silence if it had something to do with the Switchapalooza we've seen these days, but... why there is still no word at all?

Wii u game wtf this. I thought the wii u is dead

@AlexSora89 The article I saw was written just last week and said that Game Freak had confirmed the January release... I think it just got lost among all of the Switch news.
There's been a handful of articles written about it since then if you Google it now, but I can't find the one I saw before, and all the new ones I checked only refer to the official website.

@Angelic_Lapras_King
It was due this month, and I asked for more news on it here because it's getting a bit late, and impatience is becoming less bearable each passing day.

@DragonEleven
Feel free to link to any article you feel like linking to!

@AlexSora89 Still just over 2 weeks left to announce/release it. I'm sure they'll say something within that time, GF know how important transfering older Pokemon is to us.

Man why does Europe get all the themes? NA barely gets any.

@AlexSora89 As I said... I can't find it now... I stumbled across it while looking for something else at the time.
A couple of the newer articles do refer to a blog post, but their links only go to the main page about the update on the official website.

@AlexSora89 Pokémon Bank would just be an update to the app, and wouldn't be on here.

Plus, we're only halfway through the month. Be patient.

@Angelic_Lapras_King Rumour is Bank should be out tomorrow, this is mainly because the next online tournament allows all Gens.

Might just be Gamefreak not knowing their derriere from their elbow of course.

@DanteSolablood Or just saving the release for something like the tournament. ;P Something like "Get all your old Pokemon ready for the next Tournament with the new Bank update!". That'll encourage a lot more new subs for Bank.

@Angelic_Lapras_King
Of course they know! One of these was enough.

[Pictured: the "NOT compatible" of shame.]

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy
Awwwwwwww, I can't go mad at the lack of New Bank with that cute, plush mug of yours!

@DragonEleven
Sure, no biggie!

In case anyone is wondering why I'm replying with multiple comments, it's because the notification system of the site makes it easier this way.

@AlexSora89

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy

i tried to vote for mother 3, oh wait a second...

@polarbear No idea but just keep in mind there's a bajillion paid DLC for the "game".

@AlexSora89

That may be too subtle for ninty, Alex.

@k8sMum
"That" what? I'm sorry but I got, like, twenty replies or so, which is a record even for my standards.

@spizzamarozzi
And my country's sarcasm is once again successfully use to explain a concept in a clear and concise way. Grazie!

@AlexSora89

Your first post. Ninty may not get it. lol.

@k8sMum
In that case...
Nintendo, we want the Pokémon Bank update!
Was that loud enough?

We can't honestly expect more at this point.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy @DragonEleven @AlexSora89 It is not an update but a new file/CIA. And it has been placed on Nintendo servers those last days. (people are already conjecturing about the larger data size of 69 or 70megabytes, I think).

Toby, DQ8 and Yoshi demo for me this week.

@Rei
What?
It's there but we can't access it?
Considering my subscription is already paid?
What the actual Federal Union of Central Kentucky?

@AlexSora89 Affirmative.
Sorry, I can't find the forum posts back. (I think I read them on gbatemp, but I can't promise)

@Rei
I'm literally kicking thin air in frustration right now.
