Nintendo Downloads - August 2013
- Thread starter Brazil
- Start date
I'm guessing that's European.
Also someone *probably* nabbed it in the past 6 hours without saying thanks. Possibly a lurker.peanutbutterlatte

Oh shit, Steamworld Dig comes out on the 8th. Looks very promising, and an exclusive!

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Game looks genuinely lovable.

Wii U Nuclear Option
And Nintendo was worried about iOS versions devaluing its games ...
There have been rumors some time ago that Nintendo might introduce a service with a monthly fee that grants access to the whole VC library. That I could see. And I could see GC and maybe even Wii titles on eShop, but then again, there are no DS games on 3DS eShop, and that seems doable and sounds like a no-brainer as well. Who knows. Nintendo giving away all their 1st party titles up to and including Wii for free seems very, very unlikely, though.

Interesting... I really hope it's something more along the lines of the Knytt games, though I did enjoy Nightsky.

Had about $9 left in my eShop wallet.
Got Kirby's Dream Land 2. And decided to pick up WarioLand 2.

Yea, I noticed too. Pikmin 3 took me an hour to download and install. I was thinking it'd take much longer based on previous game download speeds.
It's the NES version.
Is that the version to get? or it was the free promo version? Sorry for my cluelessness.

The basic NES version is missing a level.
The promo version hacks in the missing level and some other features from the arcade version, though it's still based on the NES version so it doesn't have everything. It's kind of bizarre.

Here's hoping the Yakuza HD set comes to the west. However, I appreciate that at the moment that may be a little optimistic given the lack of comment on Yakuza 5 or the HD set for PS3.
Other game without European release until now. Good.

For a second I thought that Romance of the three Kingdoms game was the new 3DS entry.
bummer.
bummer.

Nope, I give up. I don't understand how they choose the games anymore.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire has a surprisingly cinematic intro.

What genres do you like?
First strategy game on VC. Good choice imo.
I like pretty much anything really. I do dislike Pushmo though so try to avoid recommending Crashmo if possible.
I'm going to buy a Nano Assault game while they're on sale here in UK, but I still don't know which. Neo is cheaper and looks prettier, and off-TV play makes it ideal. But EX, I've been told, is the better game. More expensive but fully portable and probably looks stunning in 3D.
Do you intend to buy one today? If you get the 3DS one, let me know how it plays.

That's one recommendation off the list already
I think my favourite eShop game is Crimson Shroud but it isn't an easy recommendation. It's basically a tabletop RPG with lots of dice rolling, great visuals and a story by Yasumi Matsuno.
and it's totally awesome if you're into this type of game.

I saw that but was putting it off just until the next sale. I missed out the other and I dare say another's on the horizon.
About 3-4 hours from now, I'd say.

Huh. I was sure that Art Academy: SketchPad had a release date of August 8th. Now I see it's gone back to being TBD. /sadface
That original Breath of Fire II Wii VC trailer was pretty lackluster, so I went ahead and made one of my own:

I enjoyed it too but I just can't recommend it either. You have to be generous to call anything in the game great visually. It's quite ugly and bare-bone in the graphic department. Spells are simply the screen flashing a different color T.T
There is also that stupid part of the game where you need a rare drop gem to keep going.

Is breath of fire 2 supposed to release this week in NA?
Don't see that happening. Can't imagine third parties would be keen to give their stuff away or have to compete with free first party titles.
No, that's coming in "the following months", so it probably won't be until Oct. or Nov., I assume.
Mario golf gbc? One of the best golf games around. The rpg career mode is wonderful and it's been a bummer modern Mario golf games no longer adopted it. Still it is a game boy game and the mechanics are 8-bit, but mixing quests and stat progression with golf was a novel idea.
You'll see an endless complaints about it missing when the 3dsgame eventually hits.
Whoa only bof game I never played. Wasn't the localization garbage though?

it's an exraordinary good game. the VC was always lacking stragety games. this should fill up the gap a bit
