Nintendo Download: 2nd February (Europe)

Well, I suppose it's good in a way. More money to save for when Zelda and the Switch come out.

Hooray for TG-16 games outside Japan! (Weird that they start with Bomberman 94, not 93)

Hooray for new Wii U eshop games! (First in 3 weeks)

Gonna grab at least some of that Runbow DLC. Really enjoyed that game.

Sorry if I bother you yet again, @ThomasBW84, but when is the Inchworm Animation II Butterfly review due?

I need to know how good that application is.

I love Bomberman '94 but I'll wait until it's available on the Switch. Good to see they didn't just abandon Turbografx after the first three games that came out earlier.

Think I bought 94 before so I'll take it at an discount

Yoshi !

Nothing for me as I continue to work through my backlog.....
Was tempted by the runbow DLC but still can't get into the game overall so won't risk wasting the money until I do.
I had an embarrassment or riches in terms of unstarted e shop titles to work through. I'm playing swindle right now and it's great, and legend of Kay is good if a little clunky!?!

Funny that Bomberman '94 should turn up now. It's almost like Konami are trying to promote an upcoming game on Switch. It just goes to show how easy it is for them to put VC games on the Wii U eShop and yet we've been starved most of its life. It only took like over 4 years and when the Wii U is in the grave for this to happen.

Nothing for me yet again. At least I'm saving money - Switch is gonna see it all anyway.

I doubt they'll release Bomberman 94 on the switch eshop straight away otherwise no one will buy the New Bomberman game.

Nothing for me, but surprised to see Bomberman make an appearance. So now Zelda, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon and Bomberman are all available on the Wii U, there feels even less of a reason to...switch...to a Switch.

I have yoshi and poochy amiibo preordered. I live it on WiiU and want the 3ds version just for the gorgeous animations

I've got Poochy and Yoshi's Wooly World with that super adorable Poochy amiibo preordered.

Punch Club! I skipped it on PC, so why not get it portable?

Looking forward to getting Yoshi's Wooly World with the cute Poochy amiibo this week.

It's a TurboGrafx-16 title on the Wii U system, a first as far as this writer can recall

There have been a trio of TG16 games on the wiiu VC for a few months now in Europe.

Really hope it isn't the inferior mega drive port just crammed into the TG16 section. Did Konami translate 94 on the Wii VC? Pretty sure it was never released in english on the TG16, only the worse mega drive port.

But we had Bonk, Adventure Island and RType and they were TG16 games so Bomberman isn't first. Am I missing something ?

I notice the Wii U has been relegated to below the 3DS in the download update order for I think the first time ever.An error or a sign of the times?

Looks like it's TurboGrafx Gradius according to the press release, that's why it's in there

Hey, Gradius! Nice. Might check that out.

Finally some Wii U VC! While both games I don't want (have NES Gradius and will upgrade Gradius III if it comes), it gives hope for Super Smash Bros. coming later in February.

I think there's a glitch in the poll. The top item should be at 100%.

For a moment i thought it was Bomberman 64. Then i was disappointed.

Lots of stuff this week

I just want the Poochy Amiibo, does it only come with the game?

I just wonder...

Where's Darksiders: Warmastered edition?

@ThomasBW84
Thank you, kind Bowser fan.

@ThomasBW84 Hey is it the TurboGrafx Gradius?

Forgot all about Yoshi coming to 3DS. I won't be buying it since the Wii U version was more than good enough for me. Is it at least playable in 3D? If not I'm starting to fear the age of 3D is over. The last two games I've bought (Pokémon and Dragon Quest) have opted to ignore the 3D capabilities in favour of more powerful games (strange when Xenoblade managed 3D...) and I'm hearing companies are stopping production of 3D TVs now. It really feels like the 3D age has come to an end.

Bomberman 94 is really good. I would totally recommend. It will get your feet wet for the Switch title.

@Baker1000 Dragon quest 8 has great graphics, story, and voice acting. I cannot say the same about DQ 7. It does have classic game play, I do like it, but I myself was a bit disappointed in it. It is a PS2 port. which isn't a bad thing. Pokemon should totally get a huge upgrade for the Switch.

@Menchi187 I don't think the game ever got translated but it was released on Wii VC regardless. It didn't have much text to begin with and most of it was already in English. There's no doubt this is the Turbografx version. The Mega Drive/Genesis version is called Mega Bomberman and there's no Mega Drive VC on Wii U.

@G-Boy

@Baker1000
Psst... I have ordered Yoshi Wolly World 3DS. Not because 3D effect, but portability aspect. Sure, 3D effects is really temptating but at least the 3DS version has something that Wii U didn't have.

@G-Boy
How did you type upside down ?

I will get the Epic Holiday Word Search. I love this series. 10k is really fun.

Wow, a TG16 game. I have a nice TG16 collection on 3DS already, but if they're gonna start selling them I'll certainly support it

Seriously Konami, this late? At this point, I'd rather you made sure Turbografx support was ready for the Switch. We had 3 TG games waaaaaay back in July! Do you know how many weeks you could have filled with TG games and caught up to Japan's current PC Engine games?

Oooh well, fingers crossed you won't take forever in adding these games to the Switch VC.....

Japan still has only four PCE games on 3DS VC.
That still includes China Warrior but not Bonk.

(I know there's none in the west, but to do that even in its homeland...)

Well, this makes canceling my Switch pre-order a near cert. The only 2 launch titles I was interested in being Zelda (natch) and possibly Bomberman - reviews permitting. Well, since I've got a WiiU in my ranks, Zelda (WiiU) and now Bomberman 94 fill that gap.

Until Mario Odyssey then...

Shouldn't Fire Emblem Heroes be on here? It is a Nintendo game available for download on the 2nd of February, after all.

This week is all about Yoshi for me, obviously. I already completed the Wii U version 100% (including unlocking all the amiibo patterns), and I loved it so much that I absolutely wanna double-dip, even if this version was an exact 1-on-1 copy of the Wii U version (but still optimized for actually properly running on 3DS, of course).

I already thought the Wii U version was practically a love letter for Yoshi fans, and this 3DS version feels even moreso as such, with the Poochy levels and the oh-so adorable animated shorts. Only thing that's a shame is that this version won't appear as 'fuzzy' as the Wii U version, but that's fine. The new content and the Poochy amiibo (of which I'll get two, just like I did with all the Yoshi amiibo!), more than make up for that.

Bring on Friday! <3

Shame it isn't Bomberman '93, now I can't upgrade

Also, it is far superior of course.

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World has been on pre-order for a while now, just waiting for that dispatch email!

@Anti-Matter so it does use 3D?

@River3636 yeah it's clear that DQ8 is the more technically impressive game. I liked DQ7, even if the format of collecting fragments and restoring the world a piece at a time got repetitive toward the end. Still a bit disappointed I can't explore the world of DQ8 in 3D. I'm really excited to see DQ11 on 3DS with it's dual display of 2D and 3D environments. Probably pick that up over the Switch version. Or maybe get both idk.

As somebody who has it on Wii, I highly recommend "Bomberman '94" it's one of the best Bomberman games.

@Baker1000
I guess.

I hope NA gets the tg-16 VC options this week too.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
You're usually grumpier than needed but, boy oh boy... how right you are.
And Nintendo, as I said, needs to go the extra mile with the Virtual Console on Switch to make up for the initial drought but... why do I get the feeling they won't?
