I think Star Fox and OOT are the only rare ones in the US. The others are still easily available (ToA was rare but got reprinted, iirc).

Not to make anyone feel bad but I got Star Fox for like 15 bucks, lol. PAL copies still seem way less expensive than their US counterparts.

hmm so should I keep them sealed? lol

any thoughts on the Atlus ones? was thinking if Code of Princess should be sold off - and I'll get the eShop game... it's a B-List title?

I say keep them sealed for now (unless you want to play them, of course).

The prices of Atlus games in the US aren't as bad as they can get in the EU so not sure what to tell you there. Code of Princess is definitely not worth thinking too much about, however. :p

Ah, Code of Princess is alright, don't get me wrong. It's basically a new Guardian Heroes, for better or worse. It's quite cheap at the moment, though, and the game isn't super new or anything so I doubt the price will go up anytime soon.

Got excited until I realized it wasn't a deal on the VC games, but a deal on the games I already own.

IRONFALL Invasion - Will download, probably won't buy any content. Not into shooters.
Titan Attacks! - Maybe. Leaning yes.

Donkey Kong Land - Maybe? The GB ones are so janky.
Donkey Kong Land 2 - Ditto
Donkey Kong Land III - Ditto

Donkey Kong Country - Yes yes yes
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - Yes
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble - Yes

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Hunter's Seal - Yes
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Palicoes 4 Ever - Yes

I'm glad they gave us these themes, though I wish they'd give us the third one too. Odd that they don't hit til Saturday apparently.

I guess they gave us DKC this week because of... Tipping Stars next week? Seems odd but this is NOA. Maybe they'll announce a new F-Zero tomorrow.

Awesome! Was sure they were setting up for another one of those "look at all these awesome VC games coming out this Summer" "events" like they've done by massively holding stuff back before.

Re: Titan Attacks

I played it on Vita. First playthrough, I got to the final boss twice (so, 2 x 100 stages) and got bored on the third cycle. So yeah, game is quite easy and after you get to the end, the stages just repeat and you just go through them again while keeping your upgrades.

Only fired it up once after that to get a trophy and that was that.

Definitely a fun arcade experience for one or two playthroughs (since you most likely won't be fully upgraded after the first) but lack of variation once the stages start repeating really breaks the game in the long (or even middle) run. And for a highscore game, it takes too long to get going, so yeah. Unfortunate that they didn't go the extra mile to nail that balance.

Will eventually get DKL I, II, and III, but probably not the DKC games. Also unfortunate that the discount is for the new-gen DKC games, because I really do not like at all the ridiculous level of difficulty Retro has taken the new DKC games to. Coming from someone who 10x%'d every OG DKC game and even mostly liked DK64, their new "kill you every chance we get while you pour 40 lives to clearing this horribly controlling barrel rocket level" games have been a massive disappointment for me. :(

Oh, well. Really glad to see the DKL games, at least. Always glad to see more GB/GBC VC on the 3DS! :D

As a fan of Space Invaders, this seems like the closest I'll get on 3DS for the time being. And let's be honest, most actual Space Invaders titles are rather light on content too. I've played this on Steam and if they added 3D then that'll increase my inclination to get it, but I'll admit the price is a bit steep for anyone who isn't chomping at the bit for a Space Invaders game on 3DS like I am.

Sure, just letting you know what you're in for. I'm always craving for more arcade experiences myself.

Though I do have to say, at the end of the day, I'd much rather bust out Space Invaders Extreme 1 or 2 again instead.

I wonder if the only reason for all 3 DKC games at once is so that the DKC TF conditional sale lasts for less time...

Then again when you remove those games form this week it is fairly bleak so a good time to drop those titles there (assuming they release VC games at odd times to avoid stealing the spotlight).

You can totally tell they sorta wanted this for the 1-year DKCTF anniversary but had to wait an extra week because of Kirby lol.

Hi New Thread!

I'm going to get DKC complaining out of my system and per TheMoon's sage advice I'm not going to mention it for the rest of the month (unless of course we actually get it this month!), after this post.

So, NOA. Please bring the DKC games to the Wii U eShop. I wanna play them. Especially DKC2 and 3. I want to play those most.

Less this:

Fucking finally! I knew the DKC games would come out in February! It just had to be two days before the month actually ended. Lol. Totally downloading the Country games when I get home.

Also, does this mean that the DKC games are reinstated on the Wii Shop Channel as well?

Wow, all 3 DKC games AND DK Land games on one day?

Kind of tempted by the DK Land games since I never played those, but I've played the DKC games already.

In case anyone's wondering, I can confirm that after buying DKC 1-3 on Wii U but not any of the DKLs, DKCR 3D is indeed showing as discounted on the 3DS eShop, so the promotion works cross-platform.

If you've got Wii Points already, use them on the Wii and then upgrade them for $1.50 on Wii U.

That would be like buying them for $9.50 each unless the Wii points would go unused otherwise.

They didn't imply that, they straight up said that. Tipping Stars uses codes in all regions. No automatic cross-buy. They made a point of it to say you will be able to give one code away if you want.

I wonder if they made it easier, because that was not my experience on PC at all. I must have played it dozens of times and never come close to finishing it. My playtime (maybe inaccurate) on Steam is 5 hours.

Maybe I'm just that bad, but that's really odd.
