Nintendo Downloads - April 2014

No crossbuy? Fuck off, Nintendo. Cheap bastards.

I don't even think they plan on it until next generation of systems, at least I thought they made that pretty clear.
 
Golden Sun will be mine, not sure on F-Zero love the SNES game so I guess I should pick this one up as well. Thoughts on it?

May snag Mario 3 maybe on the 3DS.
 
Finally I can play Golden Sun properly. I bought the cartridge years ago from eBay...that was before I knew there are so many pirated GBA games sold there. A few hours in the cartridge broke and then I knew.
 
considering that the crossbuy doesn't exist on N platform, I think that announcing it would be something "news worthy", am I wrong?
so why being shocked by SM3 not being crossbuy?

Not shocked, just making it a point to point out how greedy Nintendo is and how much they constantly fuck their fanbase as much as possible.

Maximum Veloity is good. It's very much a successor to the original game, with similar graphics and physics, along with some new elements, such as a new control scheme that's slightly different than in the original. It's also a bit different than most of the others, being set 25 years after X (I think it was X, might have been GX though), so it features all new characters and not classics like Captain Falcon and Goroh. It still maintains the same level of difficulty, maybe even slightly more challenging, there's 20+ tracks, and there's ten new racers, six of which need to be unlocked.

It's good if you're into racing games.

I get it...no, actually I don't but anyway...


I'm still waiting for atlus discount on the PAL eshop to get EO4
 
Waiting for impressions here of Pocket football before I buy it. I have £14 left in my account and i'll either get that, or put it towards the digital version of Mario Golf

what do you want to know about NPFC?
It is cute looking, it has a good amount of contents, it has single player mode but also local multi and online "rankings". I'm really liking it so far

Welp thanks for that, buying it then. Sounds like I would love it.
 
I saw a video of Child of Light yesterday on Giant Bomb and I think it made me a convert. Planning on picking it up on the Wii U on launch day. Hopefully that date is right. I'm still frustrated about the whole Chronicles of Mystara debacle.
 
Golden Sun and SMB3 upgrade for me this week.

I hope the GBA VC doesn't crawl after this month but it probably will :(
 
I just noticed Cave Story with a coming soon tab on the European 3DS eShop. Lengthy description too. Is it finally happening?
 
That should mean it'll come out in five years instead of ten :P

The ironic thing is I remember a Nicalis staff member tweeting his grievances about Japanese eshop games not being available elsewhere =/

Let's be realistic, this is probably both the beginning and the end.

Think we in Europe have had one SNES game this year.
 
I can confirm it : Cave Story appears on the EU eShop. Release date is apparently May 1st. Price is 7.25€.

I mean I'd be fine if we only got 1 GBA game a week after April (especially since it's a mostly entirely new Virtual Console lineup) but I fear we will have many weeks without even 1 game. I hope I'm proven wrong but previous experience hasn't exactly made me hopeful. :/
 
Finally downloaded AA123. It's minor, but the 3D effect is nice, especially after getting so used to it in AA5. The sprites animate a lot better than in the iOS release, which is a plus.

The Wayforward GBC game Xtreme Sports has been rated by the Australian Classification Board.

I remember this game being shown in Nintendo Power, but never knew Wayforward did it.

Oh man, I loved this game. Really great time/score attack game themed around different extreme sports (Skateboarding, Rollerblading, Skydiving, just to name a few). Packed with a ton a content and some neat secrets (There was a pretty neat dev scrapbook, IIRC.) One of WF's best GBC games for sure. (Then again, most of their GBC output was remarkably solid, even the licensed stuff like Sabrina.)
 
I'd love to know when the hell Nintendo plans to add N64 games to the Wii-U. It's kind of funny that they charge 250 coins for a N64 VC game "playable on Wii/ Wii-U" when they have the Wii-U specific downloads for 200. Wii is superior confirmed?

Someone on neogaf mentioned that Nintendo took n64 off of their coming soon list on their website, but I am not sure if that is still the case or not.
 
Mario Golf impressions: looks great plays great, like a portable version of Toadstool Tour. I'm not so sure about the themed courses yet, I might spend most of my time with the game playing the 18-hole vanilla ones.

Wii U's Mario World is 200 coins.
Wii's Mario Golf is 250 coins.

The "Wii U specific" download is an SNES game. The Wii download is an N64 game. In the Wii shop, SNES games are $8 and N64 is $10. I don't see anything odd.
 
Awesome. Finally got my complete set of Mario NES games (1-3+Lost Levels) on my 3DS! And it sounds like Mario Golf is good from you EU guys! So that's good news too!
 
I want to be able to zoom in closer to the ball in World Tour. Am I missing something?

Also, how do I change the contact point of the ball?
