3DS Downloads Discussion

[Waluigi]

Seeing as we don't have a thread to talk about and discuss the weekly eShop updates (to my knowledge) I figured we should have this thread to talk, discuss, rant, and review the week of downloads for 3DS. If there is anything for Wii, we can discuss that as well.

So, this week...

If anyone wants me to put up JP releases as well, I'll do so. This post will be updated weekly with new info (if possible).

So, what did you think of this week?

The Wii has Metal Slug on it...never knew...

[CrispyGoomba]

...Pokemon Crystal is never going to happen, isn't it?

[Carbondog]

I loved Game & Watch Gallery 2! Too bad my A button quit working again... Should only be a week and a half until I can play it again!

The Gameboy Pokemon titles are at the top of my most wanted VC games! Hopefully Nintendo will re-release R/B/Y/G/S/C!

Oh boy i'm not sure what to say about this week free dlc is nice but the rest of the line-up is terrible this week.
Though last Week was awesome(monster world iv is the best wii vc game since ffvi*)
Next week i hope we get loz or kdl2
*i already owned chrono trigger on ds so i'm not counting that

[Waluigi]

Game and Watch Gallery 2 is fantastic, dont know what you're saying :p

Pokemon isn't happening for a while, if it does come, it's going to be a special, big event. Not some random weekly release - Pokemon is too big for that, especially the old ones.

Next week in NA is looking to be Order Up Demo and Rayman GBC... the demo was confirmed by the developers, and a search for 'rayman' on the eShop brings up software info for Rayman GBC. I heard it's good, and I love Rayman, so I'll probably pick it up soon. Hope Wario Land is next...

You have Rayman on dsi, why do you want it on the GBC? The dsi version is really great and is a must have. I wish they would have bring Rayman 3 GBA instead of this one.

Metal Gear 3 is a great game for those who are into challenges and 2d goodness sprites action. Art of balance is still a very fun puzzle and logical game.

I do have the DSi one, and it IS pretty great. :p

The GBC game is an original game though, inspired by the first one (the DSi one). I've heard its a 2D hybrid between Rayman 1 and 2, and I LOVE Rayman platforming. IGN giving it a 9/10 back in the day isn't bad, either. :p

If it's $5, I'll pick it up eventually.

It did not know that and it changes everything. I guess i gonna get it too, the more Rayman, the better.

yes on WiiWare and on retail the collection from one to six, but it's now very rare. Please your gamer life and try to get it.

[NiGoMonster]

holding out on moneys in case something awesome happens during the E3 week, lately Nintendo tended to have those kinds of surprises

[MrWu]

Here's my wishlist for Nintendo.

Be a bit adventurous and bring a more diverse selection of GB/GBC games to VC. While seeing old classics come back is nice, I often have the very same games on cart.

What I'm looking for personally are strategy games. That genre is very thin on eshop and there's a few decent ones on the GB/GBC!

- Nobunaga's Ambition (TBS)
- Warlocked (RTS)

Europes update for 5/31/12

3DSWare / Virtual Console
-Sweet Memories Blackjack / 3DSWare / £3.60/€4
-Rayman / GBC VC / £4.50/€5

Wii VC
-Mega Man X2 / SNES VC / 800pts

You Europeans are some lucky folk. I wish NoA would embrace VC/3DSWare dual releases

Hopefully Rayman and X2 come to America as well, along with the Order Up demo.

GREAT WEEK NA! I cant believe they learned about 2 3DS games at once! Congrats! And Europeans get Mega Man X2, so lucky you

Hope for a good surprise on Tuesday, E3 day. I'm the only one predicting a surprise Kirby Tilt n Tumble and Rayman Origins retail, and I'm staying by it. Probably won't be anything though :/

[Steel Diver]

I'm still confused. is Rayman on gbc the same as the DSiWare game? I own the Dsiware one so I want to know if it is worth my money.

[Mirr0rR3flection]

...Pokemon Crystal is never going to happen, isn't it?

Not as long as theres money to be made from the remakes.

[Carbondog]

I could be wrong but I remember Nintendo Power said that Rayman on the GBC was a remake of the original just compressed and changed a little for the GBC. I have never really cared much for the DSiWare version mostly because its very zoomed in. I hope I will enjoy it on the Playstation (just got it on eBay).

No, it's new levels (mostly). The areas are the same but the levels are all new. And yes, the PS1 Rayman is much better than the DSiWare one just for the size. Hope you enjoy it! It is brutal :/
