Can only hope they're holding back Sonic 2 to tie it in with an announcement at this stage...

Wave 3 announcement! I need my Power Drift!

 

[maxcriden]

Nova-111 looks great. Hope that is coming to NA this week too.

 

[PtM]

Tempted by those Curve sales.

Pleeeeease download Fractured Soul. I say this every time it's on offer and no one responds. It's a fantastic game, and at £1.79 it's the best bargain you'll find.

Oh well, alright. The demo didn't impress me much. Now my SD card is nearly full.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Fractured Soul is great.

 

[TheMoon]

Tempted by those Curve sales.

Give into the temptation.

Must haves: Stealth Inc. 2, The Swapper, The Swindle (still on its launch sale price) and OlliOlli depends on your love for stunt platforming

 

[GRW810]

Oh well, alright. The demo didn't impress me much. Now my SD card is nearly full.

Let me know what you think of it.

Fractured Soul is great.

It really is.

Hopefully we will get that in America. I know I'll get it regardless

Love Picross!

Time for a new Nintendo Direct to announce this for the West already.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Time for a new Nintendo Direct to announce this for the West already.

Alongside Rhythm Heaven, Monster Hunter X, Monster Hunter Stories, Dragon Quest VII, and Dragon Quest VIII!

There are far too many 3DS games that need to leave Japan.

Pocky and Rocky GBA coming next month

That's bad news, they're still holding out on the gba medabot rpg

 

[Zonic]

Still a bummer we won't get the SNES version of P&R. Played it as a kid, wanted to play it & see how much farther I could get.

 

[Ondore]

So I'm guessing 3D Sonic 2 is next week now?

 

[PtM]

Let me know what you think of it.

It really is.

I cannot get my head around that many things at once; jump & blink &shoot & blink again? Whoops no, wrong screen. It really stresses my concentration. Dying a lot.

 

[sörine]

Still a bummer we won't get the SNES version of P&R. Played it as a kid, wanted to play it & see how much farther I could get.

Yep. Also SNES Ninja Warriors, P&R2 and Lufia II. Hopefully we get them next VC round on NX. I'd also like Natsume's other NES games like Abadox, Shatterhand and Power Blade 1-2 if they can work it out with Hamster and Square Enix.

 

[jholmes]

Pocky and Rocky GBA coming next month
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...rives_on_the_wii_u_virtual_console_next_month

This is not the Pocky and Rocky you are looking for.

 

[GRW810]

I cannot get my head around that many things at once; jump & blink &shoot & blink again? Whoops no, wrong screen. It really stresses my concentration. Dying a lot.

It's like rehearsing to act a scene. You don't so much play Fractured Soul but learn how to pass a level.

 

[sörine]

Anyone back Starwhal and recieve their key yet? It releases tomorrow, just wondering if anyone else got theirs since Breakfall accidentially sent me a Steam key before.

 

[Ondore]

So it looks like Starwhal and Beatbuddy on Wii U tomorrow. Anyone recall hearing a price on the former?

Spoiler

No VC game listing, just like in Europe.

 

[Richie]

So it looks like Starwhal and Beatbuddy on Wii U tomorrow. Anyone recall hearing a price on the former?

Spoiler

No VC game listing, just like in Europe.

Did Japan have VC releases this week? Usually when none were listed, a Direct would surprise us with new games. One seems massively unlikely, maybe surprise Twitter-announced release, a lá Excitebike VS?

 

[G0523]

Pocky and Rocky GBA coming next month
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...rives_on_the_wii_u_virtual_console_next_month

Considering the GBA version is currently going for $65 used on Amazon, this is a great thing!

 

[Zonic]

Either Nintendo is getting better with hiding what VC games are hitting tomorrow on their site, or we're not getting anything this week.

 

[THEAnderson21]

Either Nintendo is getting better with hiding what VC games are hitting tomorrow on their site, or we're not getting anything this week.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[jholmes]

Anyone back Starwhal and recieve their key yet?

I did back Starwhal, but no, no key yet. I'll come back and report when I do get it.

 

[steveovig]

Considering the GBA version is currently going for $65 used on Amazon, this is a great thing!

For real? I should sell my copy! Haven't touched it since it came out.

 

[Ondore]

OK folks, false alarm for NA: The Ignition Factor is on Wii U VC tomorrow. Upgrade eligible.

 

[steveovig]

OK folks, false alarm for NA: The Ignition Factor is on Wii U VC tomorrow. Upgrade eligible.

Sounds cool. I've always wanted to play that, might have to finally check it out when I get some money. It's decent, right?

 

[Shard]

So I have a bit of an update on the Wii U version of Oddworld New N' Tasty as I did an interview with the new port house working on the game. The Wii U version is now being done by a company called Olde Skuul who picked up the project 7 months ago from JAW. They managed after some finagling fix the issues the game was having which were some quirks in Unity not playing well with the WI U, which is a story I am hearing quite a bit. They Couldn't go into what the problem were without breaking NDA but the godo news is the game is now in certification so it looks like it is releasing soon.

 

[TheMoon]

Did Japan have VC releases this week? Usually when none were listed, a Direct would surprise us with new games. One seems massively unlikely, maybe surprise Twitter-announced release, a lá Excitebike VS?

There'll be no Direct. Japan was on Holiday this week (Silver Week) until Today.

 

[Kontergurke]

So, I have some leftover stars on my Club Nintendo account and want to get one of the "Wii U Panorama View" interactive videos.
I'm leaning towards the Kyoto tour, but wanted to hear if anyone of you had experienced them and can give recommendations?

[Vanillalite]

Fucking Nintendo

I don't know why the VC shit even upsets me anymore.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wow, this is an excellent week for Indies.

 

[69wpm]

So, I have some leftover stars on my Club Nintendo account and want to get one of the "Wii U Panorama View" interactive videos.
I'm leaning towards the Kyoto tour, but wanted to hear if anyone of you had experienced them and can give recommendations?

Have you downloaded the demo? I myself bought Kyoto and it's pretty nice. Don't know about the others though.

 

[Ondore]

In for Starwhal and Exorcism. Any reviews for Nova-111?

Legend of Kay HD must've friggin' tanked to be half off after less than two months.

 

[astrogamer]

Fucking Nintendo

I don't know why the VC shit even upsets me anymore.

Well, we got the most VC games this week out of every region

 

[Javier]

Maybe it's finally time to jump on Etrian Odyssey Untold: Millenium Girl.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Getting Beatbuddy and Starwhal.

 

[jholmes]

Still no Starwhal backer code yet!

So, I have some leftover stars on my Club Nintendo account and want to get one of the "Wii U Panorama View" interactive videos.
I'm leaning towards the Kyoto tour, but wanted to hear if anyone of you had experienced them and can give recommendations?

The Kyoto one is good but the one where you fly with geese is better. Maybe try the demo first and decide.

 

[Fewr]

Elliot Quest or Etrian Odyssey...

hmm... Elliot Quest I think, I've bought a couple of Etrians and never have the time to finish them.

 

[jmizzal]

Is Smash Bros DLC today?

 

[MrV4ltor]

Extreme Exorcism, STARWHAL, Beatbuddy and Nova-111 are all really solid games! Great week for both NA and EU. New games are fun you know? VC isn't everything.

 

[astrogamer]

Is Smash Bros DLC today?

It's next week

 

[TheMoon]

Extreme Exorcism, STARWHAL, Beatbuddy and Nova-111 are all really solid games! Great week for both NA and EU. New games are fun you know? VC isn't everything.

And there actually is a neat VC game release this week in NA...

 

[jmizzal]

It's next week

dang it was looking forward to playing it today

 

[Plinko]

People are complaining about VC? I thought Ignition Factor was a good game when I was younger.

 

[TheMoon]

People are complaining about VC? I thought Ignition Factor was a good game when I was younger.

You misunderstand. It doesn't matter how good it is. It's not Metroid Zero Mission or a DS/N64/Wii game.

[Glass Rebel]

This is weird. The newest Nintendo (EU) Newsletter says that the Project Zero Trial Version should be on the eShop but I can't find it. I'm on the Swiss store.
