I just pulled up the "New Arrivals" list and there they were. And no; no cross-platform discount. $7.99 each.

Okay, NA SNES n3DS VC lineup is as follows:

now: SMW, Pilotwings, F-Zero
next week: Earthbound, Mario Kart, DKC
week after: DKC2, Super Metroid, LTTP

PAL SNES n3DS VC lineup:
now: SMW, Earthbound
next week: LTTP, Super Metroid
week after: F-Zero, Mario Kart
week #4: DKC, DKC2

PAL gets the "buy 1, get 1 half-off" promo, NA doesn't?

OK so if you're in the UK and am a terrible person like me and want both Super Mario and Earthbound buy Super Mario first and you'll save like £1.
£7.19 + 4.49 = 11.68 vs £8.99 + 3.60 = 12.59
Such great savings.

NCL also announced they're publishing Shovel Knight in Japan - it'll be out on 3DS and Wii U eShops on June 30 for 2000yen. They're also releasing the amiibo for 1500yen and a 3DS retail version bundled with the amiibo for 3500yen. About drat time!

I don't know how to tell. The music doesn't seem slow like Sonic on PAL did.

Earthbound never got an EU release so that's gotta be running at 60hz though.

Definitely turn original resolution on. It looks like the games are stretched by default, only horizontally. I'm trying to see if there are any neat features like the mode where you can see a gameboy you get with gameboy VC games, but no luck so far.

edit: Tried all the button combinations that aren't used by the OS. Nothing I can find.

It's supposed to be an alright SRPG, certainly worth 7.50 at least. Heard of crashing issues back in 2011, but it might've gotten patched.

Yeah, it's worth getting. It mostly got bashed for being a very blatant "let's move this DS game to 3DS for launch"-type game but it's fine besides.

So there's no discount deal for the US for the SNES VC games, right? I want to grab Earthbound but a discount would sway me to grab SMW and/or DKC as well, but if there isn't one I'm probably just sticking with EB alone.

Shadow Wars is really fun and mostly suffers from rear end graphics and a pretty dull storyline. If you're in it for the gameplay though it's quite good and shares a pretty reasonable linage with X-Com. It actually feels a lot like the new XCOM reboot in a lot of ways.

Correct; as of right now there is no cross platform discount or buy-multiple-games discount

Looks like I'll only buy the ones I absolutely want the most on my 3DS (Earthbound, Super Metroid and Link to the Past, basically)

Yep, between the terrible Canadian exchange rate and the lack of cross-buy or discount, there's no reason for me to ever get a SNES game for 3DS that I already have on Wii U. Maybe the NX will finally unify this stuff, but as it stands, no sale.

Tigers will do anything for a tuna sandwich.


Is the sound in Super Mario World super hosed on n3DS for everybody else? Mine is all kinds of static-y and off time, but everything else sound-wise is fine for the system.

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess. After rebooting the system it's fine now. Weird.

Apparently on homebrew snes emulation on the 3ds is a total shitshow and even on an N3DS its not great, so maybe theres a reason they're N3DS only

It's okay on N3DS but it's still not perfect, and it still seems like a balancing act-- the emulator with better sound can't run some games at full speed, so you have tobrun them in a faster emulator with worse sound, etc. also please put Final Fantasy 3/6 on the VC please Nintendo
