Until I hear differently, I'm assuming $5.99 / $6.59 Canadian for BoxBoy tomorrow.

(Please, someone correct me quickly.)

For US,
Yoshi's Island DS & Super Mario 64, now
WarioWare Touched and Yoshi's Touch & Go, April 9
Donkey Kong 64, April 16
Mario Kart DS, April 23
Paper Mario, April 30

I still haven't watched the EU direct so I don't know what they got

You the man.

Alright, so here is the compilation of Natsume Virtual Console news, they have been focusing mainly on GBA games, 8 games planned, 3 games revealed, Pocky and Rocky with Becky and the Metabot GBA games confirmed for release, all GBC games that are going to come out have come out and the first GBA release happens in early June.

What about Kemco? I'm much more interested in NES/SNES stuff than GBA, fair or not. I already have Friends of Mineral Town and Pocky and Rocky w/ Becky on cartridge.

I'd tune into your podcast, don't get me wrong, but I'm at the office right now so I can't.

Why yes, we talked about Kemco, the alliance that seems to be going well, there may be some snags in the localization of future titles as stuff like Death Match Love Comedy or Togabito no Senritsu seems to be out of their ratings zone. That is to say they are a family friendly company and wish to remain so but more Kemco titles do sound like they are on the way.

Aww man I was hoping Natsume was going to get Phalanx on the Virtual Console for them

 

[steveovig]

Anyone know if NA is getting another VC title today?

 

[Thequietone]

Anyone know if NA is getting another VC title today?

It's doubtful since we got two.

 

[Xenoboy]

SM64, Paper Mario, Pandora's and more. This direct was too much for me.

 

[pariah164]

Seriously considering BoxBoy. It looks really inventive.

 

[JoeM86]

I'm so psyched about this, though. I doubt I'll buy too many DS games (I have a large tower of DS games to the left of me), but N64 ones may need to be done

 

[Robin64]

Outside of emulation, this is the best Mario 64 has ever looked. I'm very impressed.

 

[Shard]

In general it seems that Natsume is focusing more on newer systems, hence the gobsmacking 8 GBA games.

 

[Tizoc]

cAN SOMEONe make a thread about Gunvolt releasing on EU eShop? Seems it'll be GBP 12.

 

[ramparter]

Btw I didn't see it mentioned but when I entered the shop it informed of a Buy 3 Get the 4th for free offer regarding

• Super Mario 64
• Donkey Kong 64
• Mario Kart DS
• Wario Ware Touched

EDIT: European e-shop

 

[tolkir]

Nintendo uploaded a showcase with some new indie games yesterday.

Did they announce when the new street pass games are coming in EU? And is the sticker thing coming out?

April 16th for the StreetPass games.

And nothing about Badge Collection, sadly.

Lasts until April 16th IIRC.

It's a clever promotion, not buy one get one free/half price - I really don't care about Mario Kart DS and if you have a Wii U you should probably have Mario Kart 8, but if I'm buying DK64, Warioware Touched and SM64 anyway, why not download it for free?

I was really hoping the badge collection would be announced

 

[JoeM86]

I'm really starting to think gambling laws in the US and EU are what's holding it back.

 

[Robin64]

Really expected Pokémon Rumble World to have amiibo card support, especially given it's F2P. Would be another source of income for it.

 

[Killer Yakuza B]

I'm really starting to think gambling laws in the US and EU are what's holding it back.

But from what I gather it's no more gambling than actual crane machines and those seem to be everywhere and mostly directed at children. Or maybe stuff like Puzzle and Dragons, etc, as well. If it's because of gambling laws, then it's an incredibly stupid thing to happen.

I thought it would use amiibo somehow too, especially since Rumble U had the NFC figures.

 

[flipswitch]

Apologies if this is in the wrong thread.

I'm looking to give away my OG 3DS to someone, I have my Nintendo ID setup and I have one game digitally downloaded plus some retail games.

Is there a way to delete my NNID but still retain the downloaded game?

Nope. The game is tied to the NNID forever.

 

[flipswitch]

Ok. Thanks.

 

[PixyJunket]

Binding of Isaac n3DS confirmed.

Goodbye time.

 

[Robin64]

Binding of Isaac n3DS confirmed.

Goodbye time.

Played the first, but never Rebirth. Happy about this.

 

[Refyref]

Binding of Isaac n3DS confirmed.

Goodbye time.

Wii U as well. Wonder what it is about the game that they're only releasing it for n3DS instead of the original.

Sunshine > 64.

Belee dat.

 

[Conrad Link]

As someone who already has Binding of Isaac on all the other formats and have played hundreds of hours of it.... I'm still oddly excited to be able to play it again lol.

Having it on my N3DS XL which I take everywhere is gonna be so awesome.

I really love the game, collecting the Achievements on the Xbox One one will be fun and gamepad play while doing something else on the Wii U is awesome too.

 

[backflip10019]

Sunshine > 64.

Belee dat.

Did you play 64 at launch?

 

[Robin64]

Blech, Sunshine. Bottom tier Mario.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Lot's of good NA Wii U eShop releases today! Esp with our own gaffer's psyscrolr! Looking forward to finally trying it.

 

[PixyJunket]

Having it on my N3DS XL which I take everywhere is gonna be so awesome.

This is why I held off getting it on Vita; my Vita generally stays home but my 3DS is always with me.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I was really surprised by how good SM64 looked on my TV.

Other than scaling and being fed through HDMI as opposed to composite cables, have they made any changes?

 

[PixyJunket]

Did you play 64 at launch?

A little, I HATED it at launch.

I respected it later for what it meant and what it did, but it's still a game where every level is an ice level, Mario is wearing shoes with oil on them and he punches enemies. Yeuch.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Did you play 64 at launch?

I also did. I think I also might prefer Sunshine to 64, although not by much. Both were pretty bad in my books.

Fair enough. I'll admit it's tough to go back to after playing more recent 3D mario games like the Galaxies. Though nostalgia for 64 has me by the balls.

 

[terrisus]

Fair enough. I'll admit it's tough to go back to after playing more recent 3D mario games like the Galaxies.

I disagree. The Galaxy games are bottom-tier Mario games for me as well.

To quote a ranking I did in another topic a bit ago, for the 3D games:
64 >>> 3D World >> 3D Land >>>>>>>>>> Sunshine >>> Galaxy 2 > Galaxy 1

Spoiler

(Yes, I know I just said Sunshine was the worst above :þ)
