What's that?

Edit: Haha, this is not what I hoped it would be. Looks like crap. So, only Super Castlevania IV for me this week. But that's good enough already.
 
There's actually some stuff that wasn't included in Nintendo of Europe PR. Here is it :

More Konami/Hudson love for the VC, that's good to see!

I can see listing Konami as the publisher of Milon now, but the developer too? They're really trying to wipe Hudson out of existence!
 
I'm thinking about Super Castlevania IV, but I noticed the HD remake of the 3DS game on the PlayStation Store yesterday. Can anyone tell me which one I should get in a few brief sentences? I'm not very familiar with the series at all.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, SCIV is Castlevania in its purest form, no "metroidvania" style backtracking, no special abilities to collect, etc. Good platforming and challenging fights.

Mirror of Fate is an attempt at a metroidvania style game that has some of the missing stuff mentioned above, but is much more forgiving. I played it on 3DS, it was interesting, but I didn't love it.

My opinion is that SCIV is the better game.

Thanks for that! I'm going to go with SCIV. The price is right, and I've heard great things about it during the past few days.

Get Super Castlevania IV. It's one of the easier classic CV titles but still very good. The 3DS game is awful and it sounds like a mediocre port to boot.
 
I guess How to Survive has been delayed as well. I asked 505 Games and they responded with moon language. Anyone know what this means?

Hi, der Termin für Wii U erfolgt separat.

I'm guessing it means the WiiU version will launch separately, but I dunno.

That's not moon language. ;)
It means "Hi, the date for the Wii U version will be announced separately.". Well, it probably means that, because it's not actually a proper sentence, so it might also mean that the WiiU version will be released on a different date.
 
They did say that the WiiU version of How to Survive is getting an expanded campaign, so I guess that's causing it to take a little longer than originally planned.

Still is kind of a bummer, since I was hoping it'd be today. Might spring for SC4 now.

I didnt know the WiiU version was getting an expanded campaign, do you have a link?

I was hoping it was coming out for Halloween missed opportunity there.

With no How to survive and no Toki Tori HD So no WiiU eshop game at all today thats two weeks in a row right
 
So it's halloween today, the e-shop has been halloween themed for like a week or whatever, so the 3DS VC game is Milon? I mean, I kinda like that game, but come on.

You should have given up on the VC by now, we are 2 1/2 years in and we still see no GBA or SNES games.

Expanded campaign? Huh, didn't know that either. Got a source link? All I recall is them saying they took advantage of the gamepad features as a reason for why they had no manpower to integrate online co-op into the wii u version.

Yea I wanna see a link to that too

Also they tweeted PSN How to Survive comes out Nov 5th and 6th NA/Europe, why put the game out the same day a COD, WiiU version prob be out next week same week as COD and same day as Wii Sports Club, nice job killing your sales, should have been out today on Halloween.
 
Nice to see such a popular SNES game hit the Wii U this week. Hopefully A Link to the Past isn't far behind. I'd love to play through it before A Link Between Worlds comes out.
 
Haha, I read that press release as "Buy Shin Megami Tensei IV for $10", not "$10 off". Would have been an absolutely insane deal.
 
Anyone know what happened to the season pass and costume DLC for Arkham Origins? It was all there day 1 but disappeared from the eShop Saturday.
 
Not sure I'll re-buy SCV IV. I got far into it on the Wii but I lost interest on a harder level. I'm not into old-school CV games much.
 
Bit Trip Runner 2 is out for 3DS? I didn't even know that was coming.

Impressions, anyone?

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm dumb. The layout of the press release made it sound like Runner 2 was listed under new 3DS games.

Milon's Secret Castle!

Man, I hope a lot of you give this game a chance - If you like games that require a lot of exploring and secrets, then buy this game.

I remember renting this when I was a kid and not knowing WTF was going on. I was convinced the game was broken until I discovered a secret brick in one of the game's first rooms. Then it all started to unravel and I realized the game is ALL about secrets...hence the name.

Great game that nobody seems to remember.
 
I was a big fan of it. The sense of speed was awesome.
Yeah, I really liked it when I tried it last night. The 3D effect looks fantastic, and the gameplay was very fun too. I'll buy it soon, once I'm done with Pokemon Y.

I also liked the fact that the demo featured 3 tracks. I was afraid it may only have one, which would have made it pretty short. Nice gesture from the part of the devs.
