Isn't this Mew Mew Train on the Japanese eShop?
It's weird and I never figured out how it really works. Looking forward to the EU release.

@banacheck mostly because most of those games are or were free for PS+ su scribers.

@Splashman That was you?
I was Sailor Pluto in '11, remember me?

@Ezekiel It's actually called Nintendo Co. Ltd in Japan (short NCL) and not Nintendo of Japan.

Curiously, Nintendo in Switzerland is just called Nintendo Switzerland, no 'of' in the name. May the same happen to Austria.

@Splashman slowly but steady the service by NintendoCH gets better than Waldmeiers service in the last few years.

Shamless plug, but visit the JapAniManga Night in Winterthur this May! Lot's of Nintendo Goodness!

Just played some innings with a friend. It is a fun diversion, and even more so after getting a hang on the controls.

I loved Train Sims back in the day, but now I miss the physical feedback of acceleration and wheel slip.
But nevertheless, tried the demo the other day. It would help greatly If I understood the ingame prompts and the Japanese regulations.

Yes, currently waiting for a red signal to change to green so I can proceed.

Thas wunderfull to hear.
She should once try a Virtual Boy.

Never thought this game would get rereleased anywhere, then I found it on the Japanese VC and now at home in EU.
Now I have 3 copies of the game. And one for the big TV

@The_Inquisitor I would.

Local retailers wouldn't loose revenue because Nintendo would disable region locking. Because some gamers buy at the currently most convenient place they're at (physically), some always buy at the same location anyway (be it on or offline), and some only buy at the cheapest option. And of the latter, some go the additional lengh of importing because of price, even in Europe.

The real and only reason Nintendo still has or introduced region locking is to maximize profits.

@retro_player_22 actually, the original Famicom only had RF out.

I just held a birthdayparty over the weekend for the Famicon. It was awesome.

@crazycrazydave Absolutely! I don't care that much for Region locking on Home Consoles, but lugging around another handheld for that out of region game or buying a new game on vacation.
Region locking on handhelds should be forbidden!

I don't understand what peoples beef with the blue shell is.
But I didn't like the Wii iteration because of the wider tracks. Happy to hear they narrow it down.

I'm opposed to region locking. There are many interesting Games out there which never made it to Europe and never will.
I would even pay extra to officially download those titles from eShop without localization. As Nintendo did with some Hanabi Virtual Console tiitles and sony with some PS Classics.

@SCAR392 Rating Systems don't account for Region locking. as the hole of Europa, AUS and NZ have the same Region, but different Rating Entities.

@aris77 I'm on 12E too. doesn't help.

mine just crashes at the shop and scrolling trough my Miis
Redownloading the Title Update didn't change anything.

After owning the cart for some time, I was shocked to see this on 3DS VC. of course I downloaded it immediately.

Having my fingers crossed for a western release.

That doesn't explain why PEGI content is only available for 4 hours, while USK content is available for 6 hours!

@WhiteTrashGuy THIS!
To sumarize:

• 30 player online
• beatifull HD graphics
• Death Race (incl. Multiplayer)
• track and racer editor

Already unlocked SECRET World, by going trough SECRET and SECRET World. Now at regular play trough to access all Levels in SECRET World.

@Starwolf_UK I know of an ambassador in Switzerland which's 3DS had been stolen. She bought a new 3DS and Nintendo reimburced all digital downloads, incl. Ambassador games.

Why the GB Verison? Why is the DSi version unusable?

Because of no Multiplayer-Support in VC- and DSi version! As a Huge Dr. Mario fan I must say: no buy for VC-Version. the GB Version is as worse as the DSi version. And even worse without multuplayer.

GBA Games now available in Europe! Happy DL-ing.

Try using the standby download feature. Speeds things up.

The only reason to buy the GB version on 3DS VC would be, if it contained multiplayer of any sort. If not. Do not buy it.

I think some other 1st gen Famicom titles like Balloon Fight or Mach Rider (which would be awesome!)

I hope they eventually release 3D classics of some Famicom / NES 3D titles like Rad Racer, 3D Hot Rally or Falsion.

Still no Cave Story, in any form, portable. But Xevious and Mario's Picross are insta-buy.

Great, what has been available since launch in Japan and the USA, finally arrives in Europe, in two installments.

Should we really be that grateful for unreasonable delays and finally doing something?

There are many different good games on VB. Not only Wario Land, but also Galactic Pinball, Jack Bros., Bound High, Space Squash, Red Alarm, 3D Tetris and Teleroboxer.

Sadly, there is no Super Game Boy support whatsoever. That's what made DK '94 so great.

Different region, different tastes, maybe. But not less buyers, and certainly not less buying power than US-Citizen.

Please, NoE, give some thought and do some world wide simultaneous releases, like PSN and XBLA do.

Some consumers will think: Where is that quality contend I saw trailers online? I know of lots of people with DSi or Wii, which checked the shop once at release, and didn't know there would be weekly releases, and just stopped caring. Also after what they heard is online in the US and Japan, people get disappointed.

And please, if you must delay some releases for several months or longer, give us quality content. Even IF you want to push 3rd party sales. Most people wan't Nintendo owned IPs. Give it to us. NoE, change your ways, please.

@7. Tech101: I have that problem too, we where three 3DS users, all got mine, but I didn't get one of the others, not even after 1-2 hours. Resets, re-activating wireless etc didn't work. Hope they fix it with the next Update.

I have the system since launch, and I didn't believe StreetPass would work here in Switzerland. But behold, I have amassed 71 hits with 32 different people. I just finished StreetPass Quest for the first time yesterday. But sadly many hit's don't give me new puzzle pieces.

Sounds very interesting, but say, does it recognize if it's a 240p signal? (Like SNES & NES output).

Just tried to test multiplayer between a EU and JAP 3DS.

We used an EU copy of Super Street Fighter IV and tried download play, didn't show up on the Japanese 3DS to download. So no wireless single card play over different region 3DS system for 3DS titles? #evil

Yes, I tried, and no, EU 3DS games don't work on Japanese System (test-case: Super Street Fighter IV & Nintendogs + Cats)

A port of Mischief Makers would also be great.

This game is fun, and for me not that easy.
Also it takes up a lot of space (about 666 blocks with DLC).

DO only I think this or is Hanabi now a half-yearly occurence?

If so, great, NoE! That's good idea.
So Spring is for non Nintendo systems, and fall for Nintendo Systems?

Now you NTSC-People know hat it is.
It's not what Nintendo promised, but better than 0 VC-Games Weeks we had bevore (and no WiiWare too).

So, wait and see. But maybe complaing will help, it sure did for NoE.

I'm not able to store more and more games on my Wii because a bunch of WiiWare, PCE CD und N64 Titles fill my Wii Memory along with the saves of the Nintendo Channel, Mario Kart, Metal Slug and SSBB. (No WW or VC on my Wii = about 1400 free blocks) and no, you cannot move those to the SD card.

Nothing for me to download, I gonna play something else, like, Super Famicom or... Super Mario Galaxy (great game).

@Corbie, just play, play and play. then you'll get better, for sure.

I myself can't enter, damn US-Centric stuff, should be forbidden.

It's a great game, with all what I expected from Dr. Mario, all? No, there are some drawbacks in comparison with the NES original.

• Single Player Score is only for a Level, a playtrough from 1 to 27 will not get you higher scores than starting at 20 (New Level = New Score), in this case, an online scoreboard would be pointless.
• Multiplayer, be it off or online in Dr. Mario, does only feature one sound for combos and chains, be it Player 1 or 2. All other Dr. Mario titles had two distinct sounds, one for each player.
• There are some major differences in controlls (Drops and Horizontal Movements), just play a round on a older Dr. Mario title to feel the difference, it takes a while to adjust, before level 20 at High can be played Good.
• I don't know about you guys, but for me, every 3rd online match is not abborted due to network errors and stuff, also there is some lag, but it's not noticable as it's cleverly negated.
• You cannot start at a higher level than 20, as on the Cube and 64 version was able to start at 22, and can't redo those over 20 in High (You'll have to restart after a Game Over)

I have Both, and good for the US to get Mega Turrican, it's a nice game.

SSBBs update does not change Freeloader usage, but the new Wii Update is to date uncertain.

First, the VC is a great way for Wii owners to enjoy classic titles.
It's just sad that the weekly updates (good thank you that we still have those) sometimes consist of only one title. Even XBLA gives you a demo with it.
But my biggest grudge is the difference between American, European and Australian VC (The Japanese one is of no discussion here), but 20 titles less for a 3 week difference?
It would lessen the pain of 1 title weeks if the western world would be treated the same. And not just PAL-Land.

Many thought that Super Smash Bros. would be released with SSBB, and it didn't, I think that's because SSB and SSBB are to similar in gameplay than Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Bros. 3.
But it would be a great way to make customers buy the Wii title after playing the classic.
Also, Nintendo would surely benefit from communicating the upcoming VC-Titles with a release date beforehand, instead of no communication at all (Exception was the Hanubi Festival).

Hmmm... Neo Geo Hardware for Wii.. I must have.

Would also be great for the Shooters on the PCengine.

Sorry Mario, but our mushrooms are in another castle.

Donrichy, if you're registered, please send me a PM, I could send you KoF '94.
