DKB has sold well considering the price as well. Super Mario Odyssey was £50 RRP but sold around £40 when released.

Donkey Kong is selling for £65 - £25 more than Mario and no reduction on RRP anywhere.

It will be interesting to see if retailers continue to sell at RRP come Christmas… I really hope we see more reductions or deals.

@jco83 oh right, I thought I needed to open a new account and I didn’t want to do that just for one game.

Thanks for the tip though!

I got a code for SteamWorld Quest but I didn’t realise it was for a North American Switch account.

Anyone please feel free to take mine -

“ Your game code is ready for you down below:

SteamWorld Quest (Switch)
C02W4JKR9Y7Y2RJ0

The Switch key is North American but can be used with any Nintendo Switch system with a North American Nintendo eShop account.”

Let me know when it’s claimed!

Game have a page up to register your interest. But they mention that the news was revealed in a Nintendo Direct...

@Max_the_German I've been looking everywhere for it and got lucky in a random ASDA. There doesn't seem to be stock of it anywhere, at the moment.

Wait does that mean the titles listed under “North American Region (Genesis) Exclusives” aren’t on the European Mega Drive? I swear I’ve seen them list for the European console. Or are you comparing them to he Japanese Mega Drive?

@Belatarr I understand but those deceptions portray a world at war. It doesn’t necessarily mean the book is anti-sjw. The novels also depict that we should accept different people of different races no matter there views or beliefs. And Geralt refuses to kill monsters just because people see them as monsters. (Unless of course they are harming others). I think the book promotes the beliefs of what some would call “SJW virtue signalling content”.

@PharoneTheGnome I’m not sure if you’ve read the Witcher novels but it’s kind of filled with “SJW virtue signalling content”. So if it makes an appearance in he tv show then it’s being true to the source material.

@Parkour_LMan I've never modded anything before so I may just leave it. I do have spare SD cards but I wouldn't even know where to start. Thanks anyway, appreciate the reply.

I always wanted to play this game. Tempted to get the Japanese version on Play Asia. Would this work on a UK console does anyone know?

Still making my way through Golf Story- went back and played some HoTD: Overkill with Halloween coming up and Super Mario Galaxy in anticipation of Odyssey.

Just downloaded SteamWorld Dig 2 and pre-purchased Pokémon Silver at the start of the week. This is the first in over a year I've got anything on the eShop day one.

Was Retro City Rampage not meant to be out this week?

@TheMadPolarBear try ASDA- I got one there no bother last week. You can click & collect and they only charge you when the console is being picked for collection. Though I also ordered Splatoon 2 as well- which they ended up not having. So I ended up with a console and no game. Had to go to Smyths for that!

I won't be buying any SNES games on the 3DS. Theres no point splitting my digital library without cross-buy available. Having them on the go is incentive enough. However its great for the people without a Wii U and aren't tied to an original 3DS.

I doubt the NX will allow us to migrate VC games for free if its a handheld/ console hybrid. Doesn't make sense to have two copies on a My Nintendo account.

I am too pathetically excited for this!

Congratulations! I thoroughly enjoy visiting his site on a daily basis. Here's to another 10 years!

I enjoyed Chasing Aurora so I would definitely check this out!

The thing with PS+ is that you've paid the subscription do once the £40 is down the games you get after the first month feel like they are "Free". Value wise it's certainly worth the price. I don't how many games I've played on PS+ that I loved but maybe wouldn't have bought because I wasn't too sure. And I've certainly skipped a few games on Wii U because of my subscription.

It's the reason I bought a Vita; because I had a long list of games waiting on my account gat I wanted to play.

A picross- like game from Goodbye Galaxy- What's not to like?
Really looking forward to this. Day one purchase I think.

Definitely downloading Project X Zone demo, I have it on per-order so hopefully this doesn't make me regret that. I'm getting Donkey Kong through physical cartridge, but I didn't realise Lego Batman 2 was out this week. May wait for a price drop on that one.

@MeowGravy Yes and as console gamers we may become obsolete if the people producing the games we play stop making them for consoles and only produce for smart devices. It was basically explained in the article why we should give a "rats tail".

@HugoSmits Brilliant- Looking forward to it! Thanks.

@HugoSmits Hi, could you give any indication when Color Commando will be released in UK/ Europe? Thanks!

@Shiryu Brilliant!!

I wonder what this means for Iwata's role in Japan?

I was expecting more than this- considering four of the games were already available with the past few months. But I'll be downloading Super Mario World hopefully.

Already have Luigi's Mansion and I'm planning to get Donkey Kong on release (never had the Wii version). I was interested in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate but was going to wait for a price drop. This promotion has pushed to consider getting it sooner now. And this in turn will allow a free download for Animal Crossing which I wasn't too sure was for me, but I'm willing to try it for free!

VC titles on a Tuesday and New Titles on a Thursday sounds good to me. Gives each type of games to shine on their own respective terms. And I'm sure it would help sales of VC titles compared to releasing them next to bigger, newer games. Or vice versa, depending on consumer preferences.

If I'm going to download 3DS/ Wii U it will be through GAME if the prices stay the as reasonable as they are at the minute. Would it be possible for someone at NintendoLife to contact Nintendo or GAME and ask if they will be selling download codes of 'download only' games? I would do it myself but I've a feeling I'd get a useless answer. Thanks!

@Yosher they are priced at £1.79/ 1.99 EURO each. So nothing much to worry about!

I was kind of expecting more, but I'm sure what. My anticipation for the update probably created that. I'm really happen about the automatic updates/ downloads/ installs- those were a bit annoying when going to play a game.

@Fudgewhizzle It definitely does. Ive played balloon fight, f-zero and punch out with it so far. Its good playing the Wii U VC games on the small Gamepad with the SNES controller.

I just noticed this earlier today- while checking this out my Club Nintendo account (you can get stars for past purchases).

However I noticed in the Stars Catalogue that there is an option for selecting/ ticking to search for "Online Items" next to "Physical Items", "Nintendo Points" and "Mobile Items". There isn't anything in the "Mobile" or "Online" category though.

Maybe they are going to introduce new items soon... I don't want to get my hopes up for download codes!!!

I liked using the Nintendo channel to see how long I had spent playing a game. I'll be disappointed that I can't continue this with my Wii games. Other than that no big loss. Hopefully this will free up server power for Wii U/ 3DS services!

I would buy it the moment it hit the shelf! Localize it now please.

I want an account system too. The fear of my 3DS/ Wii U breaking or being stolen and losing all downloaded games forever scares me. I've stopped downloading games because of it. I let Nintendo know in a customer survey when they asked why I wouldn't download Animal Crossing upon its release. I'd suggest others like myself let Nintendo of your fears. ...Or someone at NintendoLife could put a word in for us!! ....

Trine 2 and Little Inferno for me probably. I already the rest that interested me.

Everyone else should at least buy Gunman Clive at that price!

I think Nintendo's marketing department need a complete makeover. I love Nintendo but I can't comprehend what they are thinking at the moment. The launch of the Wii U has been a complete mess, especially with their relative silence on releases for the next couple of months- 3/4 games in March/April aren't enough to hold up a console. And launching a revised Wii onto the market when consumers were already confusing it with the Wii is ridiculous. I really hope they do have some master plan up their sleeve- especially when they begin talking to retailers in the next couple of weeks.

Its a good game, just because it has "Call of Duty" written on it, doesn't make it crap. It isn't too my personal tastes, I will admit, but I recognize its qualities. And to be fair its better than a lot of thrown together pieces of code.

@Osc-Sync The demo for HarmoKnight isn't out until Thursday in Europe. You won't find it on the eShop today unless you live in America.

I'll be downloading it and Punch Out. Looking forward to it!!

I have only started to play this game but so far I've been having great fun. I'm probably missing a lot of references but that isn't taking away from my enjoyment. I encourage everyone to download it. It's a great game! And it may guarantee more great games for the eShop. Also it plays great with a SNES Classic Controller!!

I downloaded it last after reading this article. I was thinking of downloading at some point but this guy deserves my money. Would have liked it on the WiiU but I had spare points on my Wii.

I was always intrigued by 'You, Me, and the Cubes' but never really got round to buying many Wii Ware games.
R.I.P Kenji Eno. I'm sure you will be missed by many.

I understand peoples hurt but not buying this game on Wii U will give them the excuse that there is no market for non-Nintendo games on Wii U and no point in releasing any other major games on the console.
If you really want to hurt Ubisoft never buy a game for theirs again (no matter the platform) however show them how passionate you are about Rayman Legends through actually buying the game and supporting the dev team behind it. Otherwise you may never see their talented work on Wii U (or 3DS) for while.

I have a feeling there will be no surprises here. Just details on already known games. Maybe some new eshop titles now that I think about it- but nothing too exciting. ... I think I'm becoming very cynical in my old age!

Fantastic! I hope this causes some discussion between the publisher and developers that results in an early Wii U release. I'm still buying the game on Wii U whenever its release; to show there's a proper audience for the game on Wii U!

Being a Nintendo fan always feels like the person who bets on the horse that always falls at the jumps you thought were the easiest. And when it makes a brilliant sprint to the front it misses another easy jump.

I really want a Wii U but I cant justify £300 on promises. The amount of delays this console is suffering from is worrying. The only good games to buy are launch titles. The two games I was waiting to be released were Scribblenauts and Rayman Legends. They have both been delayed and I can now play Rayman on my PS3. If third party support dries up I'm going to wait another year until Nintendo have released enough games to avoid it gathering dust. I did enough waiting when I bought the Wii and 3DS at launch.

I can't believe the 3DS got no games at all on its eshop. What would have been wrong with increasing the VC library by one title or adding a retail title from the back catalog, just to avoid the embarrassment of an empty week?

Its not like they have third party publishers falling at their feet to release stuff on the eShop to fill out the empty spaces that could occur- even DLC. I think Nintendo need to realise the importance of a steady steam of content to the eshop on a weekly basis; not just just to entice confidence in publishers but also consumers. Its worrying when the eshop goes a week without content. It displays no future planing on the part of Nintendo.

Though I'm Secretly hoping for a surprise announcement to prove me wrong.

So happy this is making its way to UK. I thought it wouldn't have a chance but maybe a wider market will give it better sales. The summer is a good time to release as well so it isn't overshadowed by better known IPs. If its a good price on the eShop I'll probably download it.
