Y'know, we tried to warn him this would happen if he didn't get rights or change some of the images, but nope- he just wouldn't listen. Personally, I'm glad he didn't, since now it can be removed from the eShop.

Aww, no word on SmileBASIC... But man, Never Alone looks really good!

I already have a 32X, so now I just need a Sega CD to complete my Genesis! Then I can find and play a copy of Wild Woody!

Man, playing through a game like that must feel pretty awesome!

Awesome week! Not sure if I'll be buying anything as I have an SNES and all three DKC games. I might get a Donkey Kong Land game though!

There's no way I'm not buying this!!!

That shirt.
THAT SHIRT!
I NEED THAT SHIRT!!!

And that Nintendo systems theme!

Wow, these are some pretty great glitches! It doesn't seem like most modern games have crazy glitches like these, outside of betas, of course, so I'm happy when this kind of stuff shows up. As long as a glitch is complicated to perform (So people don't accidentally run into them) and isn't game breaking, I'm fine with it being in a game.

How can you make an article about HAL without mentioning Kirby Air Ride?! It's basically the epitome of light hearted, fun games with friends.

I really wish I enjoyed Zen's pinball tables, but I really don't no matter how much I try them. To me, they just can't compare to the rule sets, layouts, and themes that real pinball machines and some other pinball video games (e.g. Pro Pinball, Pinball Fantasies, etc) have on offer. I really want to see The Pinball Arcade come to Wii U, even though I already have it on my iPod Touch. (And I have no problems with that version, despite the touch screen controls.)

That game doesn't actually look that bad. The table you showed seems to have a decent design and rule set, but the physics seem to ruin it. I mean, those are some pretty bad "puck" physics.

But what about Waluigi?!?!

How come you didn't say anything about the soundtrack? Since I don't plan on playing this game, I went ahead and listened to some of the soundtrack and thought it sounded amazing!

Wow, this looks extremely real, and I think Rayman would make a really good character in Smash Bros. I'm taking this with some salt, so I really can't say whether I think it's real or not.

Nothing for me this week; although, Blek kind of interests me, but if I wanted to get that, I'd just it on my iPod Touch.

But what if I do have a MicroSD card in my current 3DS? (Which is the case I'm in.) Would I tap "No" on the screen that says "Are you using an SD card or MiniSD card with your system? (Please select 'No' if you are using a MicroSD card.)"?

Since I already have a MicroSD card (With an adapter, of course) I feel like the process should be a little bit simpler, since I don't need to transfer everything through a PC. I just take out the MicroSD and stick it in the New 3DS.

Honestly, I wouldn't have much of a problem with scores if people would just interperet the numbers correctly. Sadly a lot of people just scroll to see what number you guys give a game, and if it's 6 or lower they instantly decide not to get it, even if it says something like "If you enjoy this genre, then there is some fun to be had, but there really isn't a ton here to keep others entertained." Personally I do think scores should be phased out so people stop paying so much attention to them, and instead read reviews and make decisions for themselves. Another issue is that, often, people complain that a game with a glowing review didn't get 10/10 but a 9/10, and then everyone in the comments just focused on that. (The Donkey Kong Country 2 review, for example.) Also, sometimes a review site seems to contradict itself by giving, say, a sequel, that the reviewer says is better than the original, a lower score. (ex. Donkey Long Country Returns vs. Tropical Freeze on NL) I just think it would be best to remove numbers and instead just let people judge from the review and conclusion, and use a tag that says something like "Masterpiece", "Only for some", or "Another Meme Run".

They put Mario Kart 8 in audio achievement but totally ignored Tropical Freeze.

Wut.

This just sounds like that same rumour about that Next Level Games' canceling a metroid game. They even had that piece of concept art that sounds like the new art style described:

I already use MicroSD (With an adapter, of course) on my 3DS XL, and it's 16GB so I should be fine if I decide to upgrade to a New 3DS. It appears to be a class 4 SD card, though, and it's by some brand called DaneElec, so it might be worth upgrading to a higher class SD card regardless. Maybe I should upgrade to 32 GB as well.

I don't understand why they don't just let you watch a 3D trailer right in the eShop. I know there are plenty of games that have 3D videos on their pages.

Game & Watch Gallery 3 and the Game & Watch theme?!?! AND Flipnote?! (Hopefully) AND the games I plan on getting from Club Nintendo?!?!?! This is a really good week for me!

Haha, wow! I kind of wish I could end up with one of these defective systems, but at the same time I obviously want to be able to play the game properly. I really wonder what on earth is causing this, though. That's just really weird, especially after formatting the 3DS and the SD card... And why on earth is 1.0.4 the only affected version?!

I guess I'm part of the "nice bump", since I bought Gunman Clive the day 2 came out. I'll definitely pick up 2 once I beat the first one!

I ended up getting the 2015 18 card case, since I've never gotten any of the previous ones, and it had some nice designs on it. A few hours after I ordered it I got two emails for some reason, as some others stated, but it subtracted the proper amount of coins, and both emails had the same order number, so I'm sure I didn't accidentally double order. Anyways, once things calm down, I'm going to get Wario Land II, Super Mario Land 2, and Link's Awakening with the rest of my coins.

Seems pretty cool, though at the same time it just kind of looks like an arcade on-rails first person shooter, which I don't enjoy that much. Still, I'd give it a shot if I ever spotted one.

Well, I noticed the site says these are all the rewards that will be on offer, so I decided I'm going to get the 18 cart game case and a couple of games.

It's the To-Do section on Club Nintendo, not the eShop.

I'm looking forward to this, though it's not something I'm super hyped for or anything, and I'm not very good at drawing so I won't get a ton of use out of it.

Well, none of the physical rewards interest me all that much, so I'll probably just wait until like the last week and if Nintendo hasn't added any more I'll just pick up some downloadable games for my 3DS. Still hoping for a Tropical Freeze soundtrack, although an XL charging cradle would be nice, as well as a poster set with Greninja on it.

Still need to play the first one, and honestly, I'm not sure why I haven't picked it up yet... Right now I'm saving my eShop credit for SmileBASIC, so maybe after that releases I'll get it.

...Well okay then. I don't know how I lived my whole life without ever finding that out... Definitely useful though, and now I don't feel as bad about using restore points at the beginning of every world to beat the game!

Honestly, this seems kind of awesome!.. I know Nintendo will shut it down, (and I'm not going to try it, just to be sure nothing harms my system) but it's still a very interesting thing nonetheless.

@BlackSpy Yeah, I've made a few games. I have an original arcade game, though I never finished it as I ran out of ideas after I finished the first level... It's still very playable though. I've also made a simple shoot 'em up boss battle type thing, where you battle a giant, floating, evil baby head, (Don't ask ) and right now I'm working on recreating Chip's Challenge. (Although I'll never get around to recreating all of the original levels, probably only like 15 or 30 or something like that.)

So yeah, Petit Computer has kept me really busy!

Tropical Freeze would be an instant purchase for me, even though I've already downloaded all of my favorite tracks for free. David Wise deserves my money and the fact that I can't purchase his music yet is really dumb... Plus, I'd love having it on a collectable CD instead of just an iTunes download or something. I have purchased the Tengami soundtrack though, so there's that...

I already own it- And it's the most used software on my 3DS! Definitely pick this up before it's gone if you want to be able to try any of the games made for it, as games for Petit Computer won't be compatible with SmileBASIC.

Anyways, SmileBASIC will be an instant buy for me once it releases!

What about Kirby Air Ride 2?!?!

Yup, I'm still waiting for it!

This actually looks pretty handy, especially since I have had a few instances of games popping out of both my original and XL models while in my pocket. (And once when I was playing Animal Crossing, put it in sleep mode for a second, and then accidentally hit it with my foot, causing the cart to come out and my 3DS to slide across the floor!)

This is extremely shocking. I thought Flipnote 3D coming outside of Japan was more dead than, uh... Something... That's dead... But here it is! While I don't really have a huge interest in it, (I'm not very good at drawing) it'll still be nice to have it, and I'm sure I'll enjoy making some animations.

Definitely some good games this month, but since I could just buy these if I wanted to, I'm just going to save my coins for, hopefully, some good physical rewards. Fingers crossed for a Tropical Freeze soundtrack!

Well, this is disappointing, but I guess as long as they release sone rally good rewards in these final months and I get to use up most of my remaining coins, at least some good would come of it. I guess this is why I didn't receive an email telling me some of my coins would expire at the end of this year... Getting Flipnote is nice, but I really hope it later becomes available to everyone to download, since a lot of people aren't CN members.

Anyways, here's hoping the new loyalty program is a good replacement!

I hate this. Pretty much any game that uses the coins, gems, and energy mechanic I hate. There's no way I'll be downloading this, even if I wouldn't ever spend any money in it, since I'm not going to support anything like this. Rusty and Steel Diver are fine, since you can play as much as you like, whenever you like, and you actually get something for your purchases. When developers do this, they're basically tricking you into slowly paying for the game, and hoping you'll even overpay what the game is actually worth. They could have just made it $5 game without IAPs, which would have been fine, but of course they already have Trozei, so all I really see in this game is an attempt to make some quick money.

Does NA hate Donkey Kong Country? Anyways, this is good news, and hopefully it's the first step towards Game Cube games!

Cool, but uh, where's the Rainbow Road medley? Or the Animal Crossing: New Leaf 7:00/Main Street remix?!?! Those were the two I was looking most forward to and they're both absent?! Hopefully this list turns out to be wrong, or more music becomes available on iTunes, because I don't want this to end up like Tropical Freeze and have a whole bunch of tracks downloaded from YouTube.

I know my brother used to own this. All I remember is spending hours messing around with all the gadgets he unlocked!

This looks suspiciously similar to Marble Blast. Like, it looks like everything from the power ups to obstacles to the physics are almost, if not exactly, the same. Just has a different coat of paint and levels.

Up is one of my most favorite Pixar movies! Although I don't think I'd buy it on my 3DS. Still cool though!

Did anyone really think a game called Sonic Runners wouldn't be a mobile game? If it has "run" in the name it's pretty much guaranteed to be mobile. Maybe it will be alright but I'm not a huge infinite runner fan, so Temple Run is enough to scratch that itch, and I barely ever get that itch in the first place. If I'm playing a mobile game, 99% of the time it's The Pinball Arcade.

@brianvgplayer Yep, that's what I was gonna say. We have a plug-n-play with a bunch of Intellivision games on it, and Shark Shark was one of our favorites.

Mario Kart 8 has an amazing soundtrack, but better than Tropical Freeze?! Lol no. Just no.

Oh my goodness! My brother used to own Mario Party Advance, and I just loved playing around with the gadgets when I was little! Brings back a lot of nostalgia just thinking about it!
