I wouldn't put much faith in a company like Nicalis in general. The games they are involved with have always bugs and take forever to be released. Also they have the worst track record of releasing anything in Europe.

I just hope 90's Arcade Racer does come out in Europe at the same time as in North America. It would be ridiculous otherwise as the dev is from Greece.

It also looks like Cave Story 3D eShop version is never coming out, it has been a few years already listed in the eShop, but no buy option.

I will surely get the Splatoon Theme, it looks cool.

Shame that I have now already way too many themes, have to even leave some out from the 10 themes changing circulation setting in 3DS.

Will these data packs include the option to play the game in Japanese audio with English subtitles?

If not, why the hell are they not giving that as an option?

My wish is that Nintendo would finally update the maps in 3DS Streetpass and bring the Streetpass Maps app to Streetpass Plaza in all countries available.

It really sucks that most countries don't have maps available even though you have different regions available in countries. I would like to see for example which regions I have missing from Finland, Sweden etc.

Lets see what NoE will bring to the table. I suppose they should announce their list today?

Shame that over 10 million Wii U users install base is not enough to receive a version of the game...

Square making brainiac decisions together with Nintendo. Why swap the costume to a cowboy costume? That's like pouring gasoline on fire.

Will be interesting to see what are the Cyber Deals about around Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Maybe someday Renegade Kid will again release games in Europe also.

Typoman's demo during E3 was awesome.

It's cool to see such innovative platformer games coming to Wii U, and it's even an exclusive.

Linkle!

OMFG, the hell has freezen over.

This will surely be displayed in detail today, such a huge shame that this has come to light now, this would've blown everyone away later today in the Direct!

All the SEGA themes will be bought!
YES!

Awesome! Hopefully soon they will bring the rest as well.

These will be all BOUGHT immediately when available!

Awesome story! Congrats to both Aussies for finding their happiness through the magic of Mario Kart!

Cool, will be finally getting this game this week on Thursday when the sale starts.

I think it should be extremely easy to transport existing Mii characters to the phone game since all "smart phones" have a camera and QR code reading possibility and Nintendo already has QR codes for Miis in both 3DS and Wii U.

I hope the new Club Nintendo will be open for all around the world.

Especially Europe needs to be one unified Nintendo Europe program for fans. The physical goods need to be shipped to any country, not just a few select ones.

@OorWullie @EonCow

You are correct, my bad! So we are just missing Cave Story creator's Ikachan then, only soon three years late at this point. Released in North America in January 2013.

And of course 90's Arcade Racer, which is missing still everywhere and is over two years late at this point from it's original release date.

Awesome to see Binding of Isaac finally coming to Europe, shame it's not cross platform purchase enabled. Now if Nicalis could release 1001 Spikes and Ikachan next for example. I wonder how long we will still have to wait.

Shame no Sega 3DS themes still, hopefully those are coming soon!

Going to be big week for Project Zero/Fatal Frame. Hopefully my physical copy of the game will be sent this week.

E: I stand corrected, 1001 Spikes came already to Europe!

Ahh come on, North America gets again a Sega theme for 3DS while Europe is still waiting for the first...

Also damn you Double Fine for not discounting Costume Quest 2 in Europe. Has it been patched and fixed by the way? I remember that people said Wii U version had some bugs?

Good that Europe also gets some news later today.

How about the European release of Moon Chronicles? It's soon one year late from the promised release date window for Europe...

I really hope the European eShop gets soon these themes.

Most of these are going to be instantly bought.

Nintendo is quite a lot trying to ruin Miiverse in all possible ways.

I know the base idea in some of their changes is to make the Miiverse have more possibilities but it looks more messy now that I have checked it after all the play journal etc changes.

Also they keep forcing all the crazy region rulings and try to do their best not to let any friends communicate with each other.

Recent example being the destruction of the Youtube community which used to be global community where people's only chance to chat together was possible. Now last week they made Youtube regional and have started to delete people's postings if those are not about youtube related. Also it is no longer possible there to comment on people's postings, only new posts are possible.

That really sounds paranoid and childish. You know I am always up for defending Nintendo in various errors that they do, but the treatment and destruction of Miiverse is just dumb on their part.

Just make the consoles region free and make a proper private messaging system in game to the OS etc.

Then they can be free to ruin Miiverse any way they want.

I really hope the Sega themes comes to Europe soon.

@A01 Seconded.

They really need to up their game regarding European releases. Moon Chronicles was promised to be released when the first season is done and it has been done ages ago!

Oh yes! They need to bring all the other awesome Sega themes as well to Europe and Americas!

Lost World could've been a great game, if they would've removed the dreadful homing attack. That is the worst gameplay idea ever to come to modern Sonic games.

I almost bought it just because of the DLCs, but since the demo just failed because of the horrible forced homing attack sections of the levels, I decided to put my money elsewhere to other Wii U software.

The levels were otherwise really nice and it seemed that Sonic Team might finally succeed. Also the musics are far from the quality that was in Sonic 1&2&3, that's also one thing that Sega has completely lost since transforming from 2D Sonics to 3D.

Really hoping they will continue to make this excellent 3DS releases of Sega classics.

Still many to be done on the lists.

Golden Axe arcade version, Streets of Rage 3, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic CD, Comix Zone, Vectorman 1&2...

It would blow my mind if EA would give Sega&M2 the possibility to make Desert Strike, Jungle Strike and Urban Strike Mega Drive version on 3DS. But it's EA so never gonna happen.

But anyways, Power Drift must come to 3DS since it's in Japan already!

Awesome, I've been waiting for the English version to come up since they put up the Japanese website!

Well, in the eShop it's ranked in the same categories with the rest of the older consoles, so in my books it's VC.

Mario Sport Mix is the wrong category in the article. It should be under VC.

I'm so happy that the best Sonic game is finally coming to 3DS with the usual superb M2 treatment.

America and lawsuits...

insert Captain Picard facepalm here

Going to buy now Rhythm Tengoku The Best+ and finally enjoy it on my older 3DS XL as I have doubts that Nintendo will not release it in the west.

Will keep my N3DS XL unhacked for now.

@Miles_Edgeworth

Yes, an unofficial translation was done by fans. Not going to mention more since it's against site rules.

@GenoBeatsMallow

Yes it is possible, all the region locks in Wii, Wii U, DSi and 3DS are software based. The problem that Nintendo seems to have is the eShop since it's regional.

The best and only way to get 3DS region free since Nintendo completely fails in this simple setup.

Everyone should use the amazing openings found by Smealum, Nintendo needs to realize that they need to make a system update that sets the console region free.

Utterly stupid in the year 2015 to have a region locked console especially since they used to have all handhelds region free before DSi.

Citizens of Earth discount is great, good that it also reaches Europe since that discount is right now going on in North America.

Shame that the game isn't cross purchase, it would be cool to have that on Wii U and 3DS with one purchase.

Also, surprising to see Darksiders 2 getting a discount. That game has just been forgotten in the eShop all these 2,5 years. The price should be permanently dropped lower since it's already that old.

It is a great game though, anyone who hasn't played it should get it. That discount price isn't so bad.

It's really interesting that even though it is a quite a direct clone of Minecraft, these devs are really doing a good job and getting rewarded for their copycat work, since Microsoft and Mojang are not interested to earn a lot of cash on the 3DS (and Wii U) with an official Minecraft version.

If I got it correctly this game has been in the top of the chart in the eShop so sales must have been quite good.

It's cool that they did it since MS and Mojang were not interested and dropped the ball.

It really sucks that also DQ10 is apparently coming to PS4, and let me guess it will be a global release.

Why can't Squeenix make an effort and release DQ10 in the west as well?

Since it's Nicalis and Tyrone Rodriguez, I don't think us Europeans will ever see this game on Nintendo platforms. Thanks Nicalis!

And if hell freezes over and they actually bring this to Europe, then why not bring all the other games they've not brought.

Where's Ikachan and 1001 Spikes for example?

It should be relatively easy to fix. If it's not possible to add the Wii U download code to the receipt of 3DS buyers, then 3DS buyers just take a screenshot of the receipt details and send it along with their NNID to Renegade Kid & Nintendo who confirm the details and send the user the code by email.

I don't understand what is so difficult here?

Also, alternatively they could easily put it so that when the Wii U version releases, the system just checks that the same NNID has already the 3DS version and marks then the Wii U version to be able to purchase for free and so add it to your download history.

There are multiple easy ways to fix this.

That roadmap is really scary. Where in the world is Rodea the Sky Soldier, Fatal Frame 5 and The Devil's Third from that list?

Both games have been promised a 2015 release date, but Nintendo shuts out completely the most awaited games of this year.

I am really worried now.

The 3DS version was just as horrible as the Wii U version.

The developers did a horrible job at both games.

Mind you, I only tested the demos of the two versions, but those already told the ugly truth.

I hope Retro Studios is working on something else than Diddy Kong Racing for 3DS or Wii U,

Never going to get released in Europe, like Renegade Kid's other games.

Oh man, sad to read this one year later and we still don't have Moon Chronicles... or Xeodrifter... or Mutant Mudds Deluxe on Wii U...

I doubt we will get Dementium or Mutant Mudds Super Challenge either.

I have high hopes for this project. What most reviews seem to totally not take to account is that this is the first big project and also a new IP from Nintendo's new generation of developers. This is the first game where Miyamoto did not have a heavy hand at and he gave freedom to the new younger developers to create whatever they imagined.

The first Global Testfire was fun that I took part in, can't wait to see the single player content and the hub and all of it's Team Fortressy style shops and items.

It is awesome that the developer team is committed to update the game massively in the coming months. I am especially waiting for the August update that brings for example the friend list battles in to play.

I wonder will Woah Dave! and Moon Chronicles ever come to Europe?

Could NLife team perhaps reach out to the devs that are they even trying to bring the games to Europe or is everyone just hiding behind the ratings board nonsense as usual.

Maybe devs like Nicalis and Renegade Kid should contact Curve Digital since Curve's games tend to come always at the same time in Europe and Americas.

7 months gone and still no European release, it really sucks to have regions and region locking on consoles.

Now they even have this in Humble Nindie Bundle.
