PAL update (week of May 1):


Note both the Mario Golf promotions for the month of May: there's a discount on the DLC bundle, and you can get a free copy of the GBC game if you buy the new game from the eShop.

Stick It To The Man is some sort of puzzle/adventure game... I'd never head of it, but it's been out on PC/PS3/Vita for a little while and the reviews are good.

Cave Story+ is the pixel version, not the polygonal 3D version.

Denpa Men 3 will be out next week, and as per the previous two games, you'll be able to transfer your demo data to the full game.

The press release doesn't say anything about CV2, so it's probably the PAL version.

If anyone remembers me from the last(?) version of the thread you'll know how happy I am that Cave Story is FINALLY coming out here (in pixelly form). :3: Is that out on Thursday or Friday?

I pretty much ignored Child of Light because I assumed Ubisoft would be charging over $100(NZD) for it, pleasantly surprised with the actual price and I'll buy it in the next week or two.

I'd like to get it tonight but just can't justify spending so much more on a download copy than a real one :(

I thought they were using a poll to decide which Mega Man game they sold first. I'm kind of surprised Xtreme won.

Its a pretty good game, but not Mega Man IV or V good.

What is this eShop crawler? Is it a site or program that scrapes the eShop and lists all the current and future releases in a sensible manner? I'd really appreciate something that could notify me the moment that Shantae and the Pirate's Curse was available.

The Denpa Men 3 demo has been pushed back to next week for NA, due to 'technical issues'. PAL users should be able to get it, though.

In other news, here is the schedule for the Mega Man VC releases:

1/05: Mega Man Xtreme
8/05: Mega Man II and III
15/05: Mega Man IV
22/05: Mega Man V
29/05 Mega Man Xtreme 2

I'm at work, so I'm trying out downloading Kirby 3D by tethering my 3DS to my phone. We'll see how this goes (it probably won't).

[Edit: It got to 12% and then my phone lost LTE. I forced it into LTE mode but it wouldn't download anymore. Restarting the download now, we'll see if it works.]

[Edit 2: 75% a few minutes later. I'm pretty sure T-Mobile's LTE is faster than my home internet :v:]

[Edit 3: Wait, it actually worked. Not at all what I expected.]

Maybe your home internet provider is throttling Nintendo's eShop and that's why your phone was faster.

I just turned on my 3DS for the first time in a couple weeks and was coming here to ask what the gently caress they're trying to do pushing this nightmarish shovelware-looking garbage onto my system. I remember them attempting the same thing with the Netflix client a few months back, which was weird because the Netflix client had been out for AGES already. The gently caress is going on here :psyduck:

It's even (marginally) worse in the UK. £35 = €42.50 = $59.

With the usual deals in shops it's almost always cheaper to buy a re-sellable physical copy than digital.

They know that but it's not like many people will buy the American version instead, and if someone was going to buy it they're probably not going to stop because it is cheaper in another country - they'll just buy it and complain about it. It's really crap from a consumer point of view, but I can't see it changing for a while, especially when they've got region locks in place which makes it more difficult to take advantage of regional differences in prices.
