Nintendo Downloads - October 2012

First review of the 3DS version of NightSky from NintendoLife:
10/10

http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/eshop/nightsky_eshop

I downloaded the Nightsky demo on my computer and really enjoyed it.
Have both Nightsky and Cave Story from the indie bundles but couldn't enjoy them because I don't like keyboard controls for platformers.

Loving Cave Story eshop so far, might have to get this as well.

and wow I want meat boy 3DS

God damn yes, I was waiting for it on WiiWare and then that never happened. I would love love love for Meat Boy to come out on the eShop for the 3DS. Please let this one day happen Team Meat, its meant to be.
 
Pretty much would take Meat Boy on anything else at this point. T_T

I have the PC version although I never finished it because I'm not really too into playing games on PC, and I don't have an Xbox.

Vita, Wii, Wii U, 3DS, PS3, take your pick Team Meat!
 
They're probably too bitter about Nintendo wanting their stupid Binding of Isaac.
I'm sure the game is great, it looks great but the content seems abit much for anything on a Nintendo system, even more so on a service that can be easily accessed by kids. I can sort of understand why Nintendo said no to it.
 
Like OMG guyz! I'm totally downloading Style Savvy: Trendsetters right now from the eshop $40.

If you have an US CC, go for US and pick a state that doesn't charge digital sales tax. Otherwise, Canada is a good one, but you'll be charged 5% tax no matter what. If you're shopping eShop-only games, the Brazil eShop can be 15-20% cheaper, but forget about retail games there since they are almost twice as expensive.

Anyway, you can switch regions at any time.
Thanks! Wondered why the Brazilian full games were crazy prices

I think it confirms that eShop retail games prices are truly designed to not undercut againt physical retail. I am unaware of which company is currently distributing Nintendo games in Brazil and how deep is their business relationship (it surely goes beyond a mere import operation, since there are demo kiosks and Nintendo is present on every gaming event, including Wii U pre-release stuff), but it seems Nintendo "cares" enough to not undercut them, since even something slightly above the US MSRP like R$ 99,90 would be guaranteed to sell.
 
Not really interested in Let's Golf, but the fact that we're seeing sale discounts of 66% on the eShop is a very good thing. Hell, I'd almost buy it purely on the basis that it might encourage Nintendo to do more sales with that kind of discount.
 
All I know is that it's going to be a great week for Americans with Castlevania and Ghosts N' Goblins.

Stay away from Castlevania: The Adventure. It may be cheap but it's super short with little replay value, your character moves like a superslow tank, there are no subweapons so your only attack is whipping and there are a lot of bottomless pits that require precise jumps to get over.
 
That's a great discount on Let's Golf. I'd be very interested to know what the discount policy is like on the eShop, and exactly what autonomy third parties have with regard to setting their prices and sales.

What practical issue would there be if Nintendo relaxed their policy toward sales and deep discounts for third parties, even if they kept their own titles at near-RRP (for digital versions of retail games) or at/near the price brackets for eShop releases? I'd assume they would still mandate a base - no releases below x, even during sales - but giving third parties greater flexibility, even if Nintendo didn't go that route for their own releases, would be good, no?
 
I had a Castlevania on the Gameboy when I was young. It had a girl named Sonia? I think she was a Belmont.

Is this the same thing? I actually really liked that one.
