I'm one of the first to complain about zero mission in NA, I'll admit and dont care. I didn't care for late SMB3, MK snes, mario RPG, etc because most of those are available on the vWii channel VC, but zero mission was only available as a GBA cart in NA, or through crap ROMs. And that fact we waited 2+ years after japan got it, and 10 months after NoE got it.

I'll finally get to choose an option besides "Nothing for me this week" in tomorrow's poll.

Glad VR is getting back into the mainstrean ... I need another Lawnmower Man sequel

Really appreciate how you guys here at NL kept readers up to date on the daily nintendo fixes of AGDQ. Usually in the past I think you just announced it once when it started.

Was a great week, although the final runs were met with some disapointments. The AlttP race was interupted when 1 player stomped his feet on the ground during a spastic laugher that caused the other players SNES to power off lol. Then the Super Metroid run, which is a grueling route they chose to do for the event ... had to be played from a pre-saved game file because the runner died 3 times during the beginning portions.

I mightve been interested in the lightgun games during the back to the future day buzz ... which NoE was smart enough to capitalize on. NoA just has no clue what theyre doing at this point.

Guess i'll be ready to yet again, select the "Nothing for me this week..." option in tomorrow's NA eShop update poll

Looking forward to all that extra stability!

Dont get me wrong, I am a mario fan ... but when will nintendo understand we like other games besides mario

Guess if I can't play it, I'll just watch a speedrun of Zero Mission

In all seriousness Iove the AGDQ and SGDQ events. Looking forward to watching as much as I can in between work and mh4u grinding.

I just bought CubeLife last week. Never played this type of game, and enjoying it but its taking awhile for me to catch on lol. No need for me to enter, good luck to those that do enter. Very nice of cypronia to run this promotion for NL readers. Even if some of you don't end up winning, the game is only $7 on the eShop

@NaturalGus for real. It's kind of like reporting news on a shooter that you can now aim your weapon.

Guess the next article would read something like ... "Why everyone but NA is still playing Zero Mission"

Can't explain it, but Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time, yet Zero Mission is my favorite 2D metroid game.

Fusion was fun, but I hated that once you saved your game after a certain 'point of no return' (which wasn't clearly specified) you couldn't go back and get 100% items. You have to know before hand on your next playthrough to not progress past a certain event if you want to get 100%.

what a F'ing joke

Never played any of these type of games, but read the cube Life review and was impressed with the developer and their involvement with the community here taking in feedback; so I got Cube Life. Have no idea what I'm doing, but feel I made a better purchase rather than the lazy WiiU Minecraft port.

@sketchturner looks like another thursday of disappointment for us. Every thurs since NoE's march release

Best $40 purchase in my 30+ years of gaming.

Every Thursday since March I log on each morning hoping for that surprise announcement for Zero Mission on the VC. And every week the struggle gets harder and harder. Without Capcom this week we would've gotten jack

Was hoping Best Buy would've had more eShop card sales this year as they have had the previous couple of years.

Europe will get this next week ... meanwhile NA will have to wait til 2022

If it doesn't have a launch sale like the first Wii re-releases then most likely not interested, personally.

It was Luck that MH sold so well? Who is this guy? LMAO

MH has pretty much taken up all my gaming time. I still buy games, play them for a little bit, but with monster hunter i can spend hours and hours everyday with no regrets. Once you get into it and learn just how deep and addicitve it is, there's really nothing like it out there.

Same sales weve seen before. Might get never alone

Guess we'll see these some time next August or September in NA ... if we ever see them at all. Painful sometimes being a Nintendo customer in NA.

@k8sMum exactly. Of course there are region based releases of games. But of all things, especially Zelda, you kind of want to keep EVERYONE in the loop.

Kinda messed up the fact the most eye catching thing for me is the pre-owned Nintendo DS Lite ... might have to pick that up and get Zero Mission off eBay so I can actually play the game, here in the states. I remember DS played GBA games, gotta check and make sure the DS Lite does as well.

More reviews of VC games we'll never see in NA

It can't be a social network app. Nintendo being in control of something social network related with their knack for censoring and monitoring will never have a chance against other social media sites/apps. Miiverse only works because it's got no competition on WiiU / 3DS.

Capcom being those that'll oversell their franchises with remakes and re-releases .. if there's a dollar to be made it'll be in NA in no time. This is Capcom, not Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't seem to want our money in NA, but Capcom has no problem with it

Fatal Frame!!!!

Welp, downloading the demo portion cause you have to first, according to the eShop, estimated 50 minutes??? I take it is in fact downloading the entire game, and just unlocks the rest once you pay the price.

@shigulicious I know that is a reason as well, and quite frankly, monster hunter isn't the game for them. I can understand using it to get an immortal reactor or other rare item that just won't drop after many tries ... but not be HR999 with only 40 hours of gameplay, or DB's that cause a monster to sleep every 5 seconds. There are limits. Problem is once you hack for one thing and something is handed to you, why stop there. And that's where alot of these players took it to and abused it to the max.

@seb5049 ... Running into inexperienced players is going to happen with any franchise new players are introduced to. That's tolerable. What I can't stand is seeing HR rank armors with hacked Edgemaster gems, or Dual Blades with 24,000 points of paralysis lol. It's like they don;t even try to hide they're sad at the game and need cheats to be decent. Powersaves and custom quest hacks have ruined the online experience to where you only feel comfortable hunting with known friends, irl and online.

The constant screen notification every time a player picks up rubies, hearts, takes damage, etc. would be too annoying during a full play through. Never had any interest in this game from the get-go

Put in almost 1400 hours since it released in Feb. and no signs of slowing down. Gotta get them relic armor & weapons xD

Repetition and re-exploring areas is a staple in survival horror games. The fact you knocked off points for this makes me more excited for the game. Games today just prefer the player to go from point A to B and be done. Fatal Frame sticks to its old traditions and why it has a following, as opposed to silent hill and resident evil fans abandoning the newer games in the series; because developers are trying to cater to a different audience.

@Technosphile I'm sorry, I don't play video games for digitized fetishes. Bikini, ALTERNATE costumes, are not going to offend me if they're removed ... and I like the newly added unlockable costume choices much better than generic bikini wear. You and I, sir, have different opinions on this matter. Deal with it.

@Fee Really? Because bikini outfits are being replaced? You are playing fatal frame for the wrong reasons if that's your deciding factor on getting the game or not.

As for others complaining about "digital only". We never got FF4 or FF2 Wii edition. I'm just grateful for finally getting a game localized, here in the states, in any shape or form (without Homebrew assistance).

Nintendo Network upgrading to a paid premium service ... gotta do what everyone else is doing

No listings for NA ... which makes this even more legit seeing how we been treated in the States .

Quantities will be extremely limited ... meanwhile on eBay quantities will be expensively available.

At this point, this empty can of mountain dew next to me can out do anything NoA has to offer

@Trinexx Also to point out, if you enjoyed Metroid Prime Trilogy, Other M goes as far as to remove MPT from the timeline. Watch this video (with spoilers), as much as this guy sounds hateful, he hits every point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX4mhp-8sOc

@rjejr Plus the fact it was guaranteed for 2015 release, and since that delay announcement we have heard or seen nothing new. I'm waiting for this TP HD rumor to become real, and they announce that THIS is in fact, the Zelda U they were working on the whole time lol ... to try and cover up the real Zelda U we were expecting is announced a couple months later as an NX launch title lol

The one demo code email I finally get, and it's for a game I honestly don't care for, plus no solo demo lol. Here are my NA codes.
B0HFK2XQ4SYNRTFJ
B0HGH74X326JNN0G
B0HHX3293JTK5418

@Trinexx As a diehard fan of the Metroid series, Other M is pretty much an insult to metroid players, in my opinion. And it's not even the story, or Samus monologues, that bothered me. As mentioned above, you don't find suit upgrades in this game, once you hit a certain sequence in the game's story, you're "allowed" to activate your grapplebeam, speedboost, etc. Not only that, there's absolutely no sense of achievement with exploration or discovery in the game. No memorable environments, "hidden" (lol) items (missiles, energy tanks) are childishly marked on your HUD map ... all you have to figure out is to use a bomb or missile in the exact spot.

Also, if TP HD is real; don't expect a complete remake of the game. It'll probably be the same game that's just been up-res'd to HD with audio retweaked .. along with wiimote/nunchuk or GC controller options.

@Xaessya Same here. Platinum for 3-4 years straight buy most my games digitally ... and never got any of these demo emails in the past. But I never miss out on their spam email promotions, of course lol

Any data miners get a glimpse of anything related to zero mission?

For me, this looks pretty boring playing solo ... even with 3 players I don't see it being fun for long play sessions. Looks more like a zelda game, for people who don't play zelda games.

Fatal Frame UK trailer mentions options for both English and Japanese voice overs ... while the NA trailer seems to have left that detail out

I'll be playing FATAL FRAME!!! that day

Almost feels like NA is being punished for the Federation Force backlash. i didn't care when SMB3 or SMK took awhile because we still had it as a playable option on the vWii VC. Zero Mission has only been released through GBA cartridge .... and there's seriously no excuse on why it's taking this long.

Angry Metroids .....

Fatal Frame!!!! Sadly, besides that, my most anticipated WiiU game is Metroid: Zero Mission
