NandN3ds

Great,they will just lose out on my purchase.I thought that they were better than EA.I only have a Wii U/3DS. I physically can not purchase that game.

@ironman28 ?

Friday 11-12 PM and Saturday 7-8 Am and Saturday 3-4 PM.This is the Eastern times of the online part of the demo.Probably to test their servers for launch on May 29th.

The actual Download demo will probable be up a 12 PM Eastern Time when the eshop updates.

I voted for Triple Deluxe.It was a great game that I can't wait for a sequel for!

This could only lead to piracy.

@ikki5 They have to trickle because they are running out of first party games to release.That's why they added more Nintendo platforms.

It's unfortunate that most third parties are not interested in releasing third party games on the virtual console.Nintendo is running out of games to release,that's why they expanded the console lineup.I wish Nintendo could do something to get more third parties on board.On topic,I don't want a subscription model like PS Plus.Don't they take away your games if you lapse your payment?

@bofis There are only five more SNES games that Nintendo has access to that they have not brought to Wii U.Third parties ,with some exceptions, are not interested in the virtual console.

@Yorumi Chopping up a game before release,while also not reducing the price, to get more money is a scam.This is releasing extra content that they did not even think of after the game has been out for a while.Nintendo did not do that.I don't even know where you got that.

@Yorumi Originally Nintendo did not plan to release dlc for Super Smash Bros.The reason it took months to release is because they made it after the game was released.Nintendo saw the fan demand and changed their minds about releasing dlc in Smash Bros.

Also from the same thread, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1015363 Why the shortages and why no universal emulator?
Why are there platform availability differences, as well as why there's no cross-buy?
Because Nintendo got some weird licensing deals with various companies regarding releases of their titles. Remember stuff getting removed from Wii VC on Wii U launch? Yeah, this sort of thing.
There are some poor souls which will purchase the same game twice. Sometimes, no cross-buy is also enforced by licensing deals.
This didn't necessarily need to extend to all titles. Imagine the accusation windmill that would happen if some titles were cross-buy and some wouldn't, though. Way easier to just cut it out and make nothing cross-buy by default.
Iwata's shareholder talks imply that beginning with their next system or something, availability of things is going to get better.

Why Nintendo releases each emulated title as a normal title instead of DLC for an emulator app?
There are absolutely no dev time advantages for this, there may in fact be disadvantages. On Wii they already used a single emulator for a platform 99% of the time (they updated it for newer releases, but it was the same thing), configured with an extra file appended to everything. The only real technical disadvantage is waste of space. Nobody nowadays cares about space sadly. The advantage of this model is that they don't break already released games when emulator is actually updated. If you weren't aware, they did something very similar with the whole "not-really-OS" of Wii - they kept old versions for old games, updating them only for bugs regarding these old games.

Nintendo only has 21 more games to release outside of japan on Nes,Snes,and GBA. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1015363
There is a list in the link. I predict that after Nintendo releases the last games from the list that they will move totally to Wii and DS.

@Yorumi I said mostly.

@leahjames1311 Ask Capcom to put it on!

The virtual console situation is mostly because third parties don't care to put their games on the service.Nintendo has put almost all of their Nes and Snes games on the service.The drip feed was because Nintendo was trying to make the few games they had access to last.Call your favorite third parties and ask for them to put their games on the virtual console service.

We already have examples of smart phone like Nintendo games.Pokemon Shuffle, Pokemon Rumble World,Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, and Steel Diver Sub Wars.Those should give us some thing to base our guesses on.

Get this game, it is awesome! I love the control scheme and the art style.It is well worth the price!

A few I really like that are not on the list: Steel Diver,Steel Diver Sub Wars,Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates to infinity, and Kirby's Adventure 3D.

The people who say nothing every week...they seem to be part of the problem.

The puny mobile devs will bow before the king of games.Just think, this is just an advertising promotion for Nintendo's console and handheld.It is only a small part of the formula!

@Wearecreation Ha,ha! Nice joke.What alternate dimension do you life in for that to happen?

I am sick and tired of people making more about an new advertising campaign that will earn a little money on the side.Remember mobile equals more console fans.So far this is a good move.The NX is probably Nintendo's next handheld based on the time.People need to stop spouting that hybrid console/handheld gibberish though.

Mobile is nothing more than advertising for Nintendo consoles and handhelds.

Not much is going to change inside of Nintendo it's self.They are still going to make a home console and and handheld.The development tools are just going to be more integrated with the console and handheld.Nintendo still won't develop smart phone games that are the equivilant of real games, that's why Nintendo contracted DeNA help them to do it.Those games will be like demo experiences to the real games that will only come out on Nintendo platforms.It's sort of like a funnel start at the top and go down on to the real games.All this smart phone stuff is advertising Nintendo brands.Pokemon will still be on 4DS and Mario platformers will still be on the Wii U successor.
Mobile=More console fans.
Another link to the advertising strategy: http://time.com/3749061/nintendo-mobile-gaming/

So,it is business as usual at Nintendo.There will still be a home console and a handheld.They will still make big games only found on their platforms.The advertising plan kicks off in the fall.

Man,people are going crazy in a few places about this.I understand it as a marketing tactic with a few extra dollars on the side.That is all this is ,Nintendo will still release a home console and a handheld.Business as usual.

@Yorumi There are more people on smart phones to pull off of than both DS and Wii platforms combines.They have never tried it in this way before.It also is what their stock holders want and will earn them some more money.People will pay for the advertising.Two things knocked out with one stone.

People need to calm down not much is going to change.What does change will all be for the better.An example of good change is a new account system coming this fall.Mobile is just an advertising strategy.I think it is a stroke of genus! People on mobile will play the small advertising/demo game and think "Wow, there's a full version that I can get on one of Nintendo's platforms"? Then they will proceed to look into it and get those consoles/handhelds and games.Exposure.

Nintendo's new strategy for advertising.Draw them in from the smart devices.

Just like what I said.They are nothing more than advertising for Nintendo consoles and handhelds.

Mobile games are advertising for Nintendo consoles and handhelds with a little bit of money on the side.

@Monsti See my post: Not much is going to change inside of Nintendo it's self.They are still going to make a home console and and handheld.The development tools are just going to be more integrated with the console and handheld.Nintendo still won't develop smart phone games, that's why Nintendo contracted DeNA to do it for them.Those games will be like demo experiences to the real games that will only come out on Nintendo platforms.It's sort of like a funnel start at the top and go down on to the real games.All this smart phone stuff is advertising Nintendo brands.Pokemon will still be on 4DS and Mario platformers will still be on the Wii U successor.

Bump, see my other posts.

My proof: http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/03/18/nintendo-believes-mobile-games-will-lead-to-more-console-fans

More mobile leads to console fans.

Where do people get the stupid idea of Nintendo combining their home consoles and handhelds into one?That's all I hear?!Arg!

I am was going to get a regular size black New Nintendo 3DS,but it isn't coming out in America.I really don't like the XL form factor. Unfortunately, I need to get a new 3DS because the original one that I got at launch has a broken 3D slider and is in general bad repair.I thought about it and have decided to get the black XL.If Nintendo releases the regular size a few months after I get the XL I will be disappointed and angry.

@Kirby_Fan_DL3
Sonic Boom?

Wii U physical-Mario Kart 8
Wii U eshop-Scram Kitty
3DS physical-kirby Triple Deluxe
3DS eshop- Steel Diver Sub Wars
Overall- Mario Kart 8

What is with you people?! If I had the money I would be getting three or four games on the eshop this week. Live up to the Nintendo gamer stereotype of not liking anything but Nintendo.

No reason to watch Ubisoft or EA's press conferences for me.They won't release any of the software that they show on Nintendo systems. Even with the 3DS doing moderately well it gets no 3rd party software.I will probable watch it anyway. When ever they say nothing about Wii U/3DS I will scream into the monitor.

I have a Virtual Boy and enjoyed it before I got a 3DS two years ago. I still like the Virtual Boy and would never sell it unless I needed the money for something really important. It would be cool if Nintendo put some VB games on the 3DS virtual console. I have never gotten a headache from using a Virtual Boy and people tend to over state headache problems.

@DaveC Couldn't you just ask Nintendo to get your games back?
