Nintendo Download: 2nd March (North America)

I want Breath Of The Wild !

I am Snippersuna.

Maybe Fast RMX and... the Zelda guide, I guess.

Only definite is physical BotW on the Switch.

Nice that NA is still getting Wii U VC despite Switch coming out tomorrow. Hope that continues as well as happening for EU.

How come we didn't get Switch downloads on the Europe list?

The mini guide sounds interesting...how mini are they calling mini?

I bought SoS but I accidentally chose 'nothing this week.' Sorry.

Getting Zelda on Wii U, I personally don't want a Switch until Super Mario Odyssey drops...

Snipperclips!!!!

Also, the Parental Control app is, as far as anyone knows, the only way to track your game play time per title and logs (like the 3DS) - so even if you don't have kids, it'd be handy to have just for that option.

Wait, so Shovel Knight DLC won't be free anymore? Or it's just a cheaper deal for people who want the new content only?

just under 14 hours till Switch!

@rushiosan This was specifically an incidence with the Switch which doesn't have Shovel Knight as the switch hadn't launched yet. You can buy the new dlc as a separate campaign, or you can buy Treasure Trove, which contains the main campaign and all dlcs. They knocked the price up as the game has gotten quite large in content to offset development costs. If you've got another console with shovel Knight, it should receive a free update in April. Don't take this as gospel though, I'm stating what I remember from the news page on their site. May want to check it yourself.

I was expecting $29.99 for I Am Setsuna.

Why I am Setsuna is $40?

@ameberlan Thank you very much! I didn't knew the Switch version was coming out tomorrow. That's a neat timing!

@rushiosan Not on the Switch since it wasn't funded through the kickstarter. The other consoles will still get all the DLC as free updates as the kickstarter promised. I've heard that the developers would like to move onto other projects too but they want to fully deliver with the DLC first. Some have offered them money for the DLC but they haven't accepted since they made a promise with the kickstarter. I admire them for that. With the Switch they can get some profit while keeping their promise.

@fbnaulin I was expecting $20.

Where's New Frontier Days?

Nice I'll grab the Turbografx games. Still have my Wii U since I have hundreds and hundreds of dollars of downloaded games on it from Wii U and Wii. Got my Switch preordered with Zelda and Bomberman waiting.

@Jessica286
When I bought Setsuna on PS4 when it released, I do believe it was $39.99

@Grumblevolcano It's because NOA is still playing catch-up. For example, Pikmin 2 (Wii version) is still MIA but I am sure it's available in other regions. That Pikmin 1 was released by NOA suggests that they will eventually get around to releasing Pikmin 2.

"Nintendo Switch Parental Controls (Nintendo, free) - This app will allow parents to connect to the Switch and adjust the allowed playtime for youngsters on the system, along with some other handy options."

this "app" sounds more fun "to play" (for free) than the highly anticipated launch title "Just Dance 2017" (for 50 bucks)

Anyone who has a Wii U and likes super hard dungeon crawls would do well to pick up Dungeon Explorer. It's a bit like Gauntlet with RPG elements (overworld, level ups, etc.) mixed in. A good time if you can get a group together, and plenty of cheats to mitigate the difficulty to your taste.

@Crono1973 I don't think the 2 games this week are on EU Wii U VC so it's not just catchup.

Why is the 3DS VC so dead lately? Bring Final Fantasy 1 for the NES to the VC. There's no reason to delay it. If it's on the Mini NES, it can be put on the 3DS VC.

Snipperclips for me on the download. Getting BotW Physically due to limited edition.

Also the mini guide since I likely have some gold coin that will expire.

They are playing catchup though. I remember the Breath of Fire games coming out together in Europe and in NA, months apart. I think the Pikmin games came out together in Europe but in NA....we are still waiting for the second one.

NOA is poop, complimenting them for being slow as molasses to release games is..well it's wrong.

I finally actually remembered to use this!

Please Nintendo! Put Pikmin 2 on NA eshop before you stop supporting the Wii U. This will complete my U library perfectly.

Zelda, story of seasons, bomberman and maybe Fast Racing. I am Setsuna is on the list.

@drewganov Final Fantasy 1, the NES version, that's what you want? LOL

I just got SoS Trio of Towns and am getting the Wii U version of Zelda on Friday. Plus I just got the Pikachu XL so I'm not getting the Switch probably until April or May at the latest. Hence why I said nothing for me.

@Crono1973 - For starters. You can't tell me there's anything stopping Nintendo from putting that game on there since it's on the Wii VC and the Mini NES. There's a ton of games I'd like to see, but FF1 is a no brainer.

There are also demos supposedly but they are not on the list.

I know that it is all about the Switch, but I am still looking forward to Super Mario Run for Android. Still just a vague March release, right?

@drewganov I think it's Square Enix putting the brakes on, not Nintendo.

I didn't vote because there's no "undecided" option! Snipperclips is possible, so is Setsuna. Getting Zelda and Bomberman physical so it depends how busy they keep me and if I feel like a (savagely depressing) RPG in the mix despite my 3DS RPG backlog, and Snipperclips is still sooo tempting!

OTOH, Zelda...how can that not consume all my time?

Just physical Wii U version of Breath of the Wild for me this week.

BotW on cart (love that I can say that) and Fast RMS and Snipperclips from the eShop.

Why is Zelda 60 Dollars in US but a whopping 70 Euros in Europe?? :0
Good thing the US eShop is accessible in Europe as well.

If they release Android Super Mario Run on Mar. 10, that would be epic.

Breath of the Wild — Wii U - physical version for me.

@Crono1973 Why would Square Enix stop it if they allowed it on the Mini NES??? It's easy money.

I'd love to see SNES games like Actraiser, FF2 and 3 (4 and 6), Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG, and others too.

@drewganov Mario RPG is on the Wii u shop

I wonder if Wii U sales will be increased a bit due to Zelda Breath of the Wild...
It will be Last present for Wii U..
But, the beginning of Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo Switch, Ganbatte !

@Tasuki Interesting point but there should be some eShop releases for Wii U, right?

In the meantime, I love that such a big intersection of Nintendo fans are going to get to play Zelda at the same time soon. Don't need to jump on the new console to do it if you have a Wii U and if you love mobile gaming like 3DS you have a new amazing option in the Nintendo Switch. Like a big family get together around an apparently amazing experience.

Enjoy all! It's not just Switchmas, it's ZELDAY!. Err... we get to play the new Zelda.

(My wallet is a little alarmed at the number of checkboxes I just filled in)

This list reminds me that preordering Bomberman and 1-2 Switch through Amazon at 20% off really helps with accepting the prices. I think I'd be staring at those a lot harder if I was paying full retail.

@Slim1999 My complaint is that if it's on the eShop and is able to run on the New 3DS, then allow it to be purchased and downloaded.

F*** YEAH! Neutopia! Dungeon Explorer looked nice, too, IIRC.

I know the switch is coming out tomorrow but would it kill them to release some 3ds VC? WiiU has gotten a lot in the past few weeks but 3ds hasn't seen any in a long time! It's really irratating me at how lazy they are at Nintendo VC.

@Crono1973

I don't think that's true. Nintendo has decided to kill it, based on what other developers have previously stated. A representative for Natsume told a publication, a couple of years ago, that Nintendo had shut the door on snes releases on the Wii U eshop.

Also, a few years back, Capcom revealed that they had wanted to release Bionic Commando on Wii VC but Nintendo denied their request, which is infuriating because it was one of the best third-party releases for the NES!

Yes, alot of support falls on the shoulders of third parties, but Nintendo have the ultimate power to pull the plug, which they have obviously done with the 3DS VC. There hasn't been an NES release in over two years, and we're going on three months when it comes to SNES support. What's frustrating is that they determine that their efforts have been "good enough," just as they're releasing new hardware! That doesn't send a good message. Why should I/anybody invest in that sort of mindset that "good enough" is, well, good enough?

@GameOtaku

You're not alone. I've tried writing them to complain, but then I realized that it's pointless.

I'll be heading up at midnight to get my copy of Breath of the Wild. No Digital download for me though.

"Missed the European Nintendo Download Update earlier in the week? Don't fret, the details are still right here."
But that post is still missing the Switch eshop stuff.

I wish they'd release pricing for the Snipperclips bundle with Joy-Cons so I can decide if I wanna buy it this week digitally or wait for that set and get the code in the box...

Theres no pre load option in Breath of the Wild for NA, anyone can confirm?

No Arcade Archives? Crap, I was really hyped for that.

@Moshugan It all depends on the value of the currency. 60 dollars American is the same as say, 70 pounds. I'm pretty sure, but someone currect me if I'm wrong.

I will be picking up the Wii U retail copy of Zelda Breath of The Wild this week, not interested in the Switch right now.

@JaxonH you are correct. I google it and it is 39.99$ damn!!! Oh well I will buy it since I really want to play it; I just thought it was one of those instances in where developers were screwing Nintendo owners but is not, it is $40 across the board. I hope is worth it for that price.

@BanjoPickles Interesting and infuriating!

Cool but switch hype! I didn't get anything yet this week, probably will though

Nice to see more TurboGrafx games, I was about to buy some on the Wii VC but I'll wait to see if they appear on WiiU.

dusts off pile of gold coins I finally have a use for you: the Zelda guide.

@Baker1000 I think just the first chapter

i wonder how many were looking for mother 3 lol

Now THIS.. is a good week! If fact, it's a GREAT week! 😃. Never thought I'd say that for awhile... 😳

Will the King Knight campaign come to the WiiU?

Or is WiiU done with DLC after Specter?

Just Physical release for me for Breath of the Wild on pre-order with Amazon for WII - U. Zero interest in the switch and since this is the last Major retail release for Wii - U may even get the DLC for zelda as well if its available on the e-shop this week if not I will download bomberman 94 for the TX 16 even though its not on the list.

@bubby444 Haha, you're valuing the US Dollar pretty high.
In reality 1 US Dollar is 0.95 Euros, or 0.82 British Pounds.

So $60 would translate into 57€! Conversely 70€ would translate into $73.5!! (And £70 would translate into $85.9 or 81.7€)

So the European eShop price is over 13 Dollars more expensive than the US price if NLife's info is correct!!

I just bought a PS4, because Kingdom Hearts 1.5-2.8 and eventually 3. I plan on buying a Switch later this year, or early next year at the latest. That said, I'll buy BotW on the Wii U when it goes up on the eShop, but I probably won't be getting the DLC until I have the game on Switch.

Will Specter of Torment be available as Wii U DLC tomorrow as well?

I will be getting those TurboGrafx games at some point especially the Bomberman 94. The prices seem really high on a few of those games. I won't ever download a retail game unless there is an incentive (like lower prices) to do so. I hope these Eshop prices aren't going to stay so high. There are a couple there that shouldn't be over 14.99. I am Setsuna just left my list. If it was Retail in North America I would pick up a retail copy. But I'm not downloading at 39.99. I will wait to hear what gamers think about and possibly even wait for a sale or a retail release.

@ogo79 Ever since Mother 3 was a no show at E3 I've believed it will be the first game announced for the Switch VC. I imagine either way a Direct isn't too far off.

@Moshugan Thank you for correcting me! Differences in currency has never been my strongest subject😉

@bubby444 Mine neither. ;p
But it's a fairly reliable rule of thumb that the value relations go like $ < € < £
And I used the website XE (dot) com to do the conversions.

Got the season pass and the mini guide....nothing else to spend gold coins on.

No download this week?

+1 What about March 9th? Not even digital launches without discount?
