It's time to brighten up Monday mornings in Europe, with the latest Nintendo Download Update having decent odds of achieving that goal. We have a mix of strong Wii, Indie and Game Boy Advance titles on the Wii U, an exciting retro remaster on 3DS and a whole load of discounts from WayForward, Capcom and more. There's plenty to consider, so let's get to it.
Wii U eShop
Punch-Out!! (Nintendo, €19.99 / £17.99) - We have our next Wii game on the eShop, and this time around it's the brilliant Next Level Games iteration in Nintendo's iconic arcade boxing series. The core gameplay from the classics is retained, along with some optional motion controls, and this one sports some attractive visuals and goofy opponents. We were huge fans of this in our Punch-Out!! review.
The Fall (Over the Moon, €9.99 / £6.99) - An innovative Indie adventure title that's won awards for its storytelling, in particular, you play the role of an Artificial Intelligence as you explore and gradually bend the rules of robotics. Though this is an enjoyable experience, we felt it tripped up a little in controls and structure - we did, nevertheless, give it a recommendation in our The Fall review.
My Style Studio: Notebook (Cypronia, €2.99 / £2.69) - This offers the opportunity to take notes (obviously), draw, paint or make flipbooks on your GamePad, with Miiverse sharing thrown in. It'll go up against some similar apps on Wii U (with others on 3DS), but we'll get meta by taking review notes in the game as we work on letting you know what we think.
Wii U Virtual Console
Metroid: Zero Mission (Nintendo, €6.99 / £6.29) - Most definitely a welcome arrival, this is more than a simple remaster of the original Metroid on NES, but features far superior visuals, notable tweaks to the environment and your abilities, in addition to all-new content once you reach the 'end'. It's a retro remaster that goes way beyond the typical requirements - we'll be bringing you a review very soon.
Wii U eShop Temporary Discounts
Mighty Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition (WayForward, €2.49 / £2.24 until 19th March, normally €9.99 / £8.99)

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse (WayForward, 12.74 / £11.99 until 19th March, normally €16.99 / £15.99)
3DS eShop
3D Out Run (Sega, €4.99 / £4.49) - Sega's range of 3D remasters continues with this classic arcade racer, which was enormously popular in its time while pushing truly impressive visuals. We can look forward to the usual M2 upgrades here, with this particular release boasting a Special mode with new tracks and smoother framerate, all with the classic high-tempo driving action. We'll get into gear to bring you a review.
Shanghai Mahjong (Bigben Interactive, €7.99 / £7.19) - There are so many Mahjong games to choose from on the 3DS, with this one promising five modes; we'll see whether it can stand out from the crowd in our review.

Darn... the release on the European Eshop are so much better than the NA one again. I don't know who is responsible of the game selection released each week here (NA) but man... I'd fire him if i could !
Good news about Metroid but Punch Out is a complete rip-off. It's less than €10 on Ebay
Mighty Switch Force 2 on Wii U or 3DS? Tough one :-/
Where is Trine Enchanted Edition? Is that only NA?
Good to see The Fall finally make it, 6 months later.
Oh neat, Zero Mission. Can't wait to play it in North America in 5 months.
I want those 3D Sega Classics discounts over here.
3D OutRun and Metroid: Zero Mission for me. M:ZM's inclusion made me go "Hell yes!" when I saw it, been waiting for that since I beat Fusion on the Virtual Console.
I got Punch Out new from Amazon France last year for 8€. I'm not paying 20 for a digital backup. I'm getting Metroid Zero Mission instead.
A reasonably good week, which is a rare thing now.
I'll pick up Punch Out (only because I can't be arsed with swapping disks), I might look into Mighty Switch Force, at those prices it should be worth a go.
Only Metroid Zero Mission as just like for Kirby's Adventure Wii, there's no first week discount for Punch Out.
@dizzy_boy A fool and his money are easily parted.
Very good week. I've been waiting for Metroid: Zero Mission so I can replay it as part of a "trilogy" with Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion.
Can't turn down Mighty Switch Force 2 for that price, though I haven't decided what format yet; if it's Classic Controller compatible then probably the Wii U version. I'll be looking to pick up 3D Outrun, Super Hang-On and Space Harrier too. Nice to see the Ace Attorney games reduced as well, though I'll have to wait a while longer.
I highly recommend Punch-Out!!, though you might still be able find the disc version brand new for under £10.
Wow! Out Run for sure, but the Mighty Switch Force games and discounted Streets of Rage?! I might have opted for discounted Shantae if there weren't so many other sweet, sweet deals.
About time!
Phoenix Wright for me!
@CaviarMeths But aren't you guys getting Codename: STEAM this week?! I'm very jealous of that!
Great week this week. Will mop up any Wayforward titles I don't already have, and 3D Outrun - FINALLY!
Shame about the price of Punch Out,I'm not paying that for it.I've not even started the Metroid Trilogy yet and maybe never will with the backlog I already have and all that's coming this year.I've watched videos of the MSF games and they look boring to me so even at those prices I think I'll give them a miss.Shantae is tempting but I think I'll give it a miss too.If I had a 3DS I would definitely be having a Sega blowout.8 remastered classics in 3D for £19.97 is an incredible deal if ever there was one.
Its sad when old overpriced Virtual Console always sells better than brand new Indies.,
Wii U eShop is often filled with VC games, and harms the sales of Indies.
I would have preferred zero mission a few weeks back.
Outrun and Galaxy Force 2 for me!
Nothing for me this week. (I already got Metroid NES)
Might pick up DD but I still need to finish off 2, 3 and 4.
EDIT: Still waiting for sega to release 3d version of Shining force 1 & 2.
I wish zero mission was on 3ds virtual console. Nevertheless, I'm very happy it's on wiiu.
Both Mighty Switch Force games on Wii U for me, already own them on 3ds.. And Shantae too but not sure which version, probably 3ds.. Outrun and Metroid too, great week!
I'll be picking up all the Mighty Switch Force's plus some of the 3D Sega classics; whilst tempted by Zero Mission, seeing as I own the cartridge and a GBA player for my Gamecube, I question if it is needed. If only the Gamepad signal would reach my bedroom, then I definitely would.
3D Out run looks like the kind of game that can really make good use out of the 3D-effect, so that's a purchase for me
Better than last week anyway...
Still, most likely just Zero Mission for me. Maybe a Switch Force or 2 if I have the urge.
If those 3D Sega Classics discounts make it to NA, I'll definitely be picking up a couple of those. Fingers crossed!
Phoenix wright dual destinies for £11.99? Been DYING to get that and now it's discounted there's no excuse!
Mighty HD + streets of rage and shinobi 3D as soon it hits NA
Still no Trine, eh?
Shantae for me this week. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how Nintendo is handling the weekly downloads recently - it's a huge improvement over the first half of last year.
Yay, perfect. I'll def get Mighty Switch Force! 1+2 and at least one or two of the SEGA 3D discounts. Not sure about Shantae yet, as I hope there'll be an even better offer in the future, and I've decided to wait for Risky's Revenge Director's Cut anyway. But good week overall for 3D discounts!
@Sligeach I got Punch-Out sealed for £3.
I'm going broke Thursday!
@heathenmagic If you're not going to double dip Mighty Switch Force 2, get it on 3DS.
After weeks of nothing, suddenly 5 games I want in one week. Overwhelmed
Worst possible time to have no money.
Wow, this is a hell of a week! Metroid, Mighty Switch Force 2 & Ace Attorney Trilogy are all verrry tempting...
Since i am plaing the AA Trilogy atm i will pick up AA DD for sure.
@CrazyOtto
Thanks! I have the first one on 3DS so guess it makes sense.
I hope NA gets Metroid Zero Mission soon.
Holy SH+T where did that come from the excellently done Sega 3D remasters all half price ahh yes thats something ive been waiting for for ages and to show my appreciation i shall download them all including at full price Outrun. Obviously the Might switch forces for Wii U and number 2 for 3DS at those crazy prices are a must.
Fantastic week compared to last week, Outrun and Metroid no question, Punch Out I am not sure at that price. will probably get it just to show support to get other Wii digital releases
I got a feeling that the metroid zero mission is a knee jurk reaction to the extremely high sales of metroid prime trilogy. Which is the fourth highest selling EShop title of all time!
Out run and sega discounts look like a winning combination this week!
I'm going to be royally pissed if 3D Out Run isn't released in Australia. It doesn't appear to have been classified yet, meaning that it's either delayed, or SEGA aren't going to bother releasing it at all.
There's the slight possibility that the ACB forgot to add it to the database (as it has a number of missing entries), but I suppose I'll find out on Friday.
Heck yeah! Zero Mission!
I might get Zero Mission if all the unlocks you get for connecting to Fusion are there, otherwise I will keep my physical copy.
Rip wallet. Phoenix Wright and Punch out xD
Shinobi III for me this week.
@XyVoX I will get the ones I am missing + Afterburner 2 and Outrun at full price
Metroid Zero Mission is more fun than Metroid, but at least it comes with the original
Metroid Zero Mission But where the heck is Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow? And Trine: Enchanted Edition?
Most of the time I don't mind waiting a bit longer for some games to be released on the EU E-shop, but we're on borrowed time here, we've only got until April before the Nintendo Premium points promotion finally comes to an end
So now I can add Metroid to the list. That now makes:
DK- Returns
Kirby's Return to Dreamland
Golden Sun 2
Metroid Zero Mission
Any others we in NA are still waiting for?
Shame 3D After burner 2, Fantasy Zone & Sonic The Hedgehog aren't included seems a bit strange, why not put the whole catalogue up at half price.
Remember when Nintendo said that N64 games would be on the VC? Nintendo have let every fan down with this console so far! It's underwhelming in every aspect. Roll on Zelda U so I can finally trade it in and never buy nintendo again.
@XyVoX 2 of those title are new, so it makes sense they are not on sale. Sonic probably isn't due to name recognition and Sega thinking people will buy it full price.
Zero Mission is soooo goood.
I wonder if they'll give us is the version where the one missile block in the mothership stays destroyed, allowing 9% hard mode to be completed/
ha ha! and only a few weeks ago I contemplated spending close to $100 to buy Zero Mission to play on my ds lite. thanks Nintendo, keep the classic downloads coming.
Zero Mission, at last! I've been itching to replay that since Fusion came to Virtual Console.
@CaviarMeths Haha. That's what I'm sayin'. I figure we'll get it around summer.
Bought 3D Super Hang-On and Galaxy Force 2 a few weeks ago. Oh well Space Harrier and Streets of Rage it is then. Oh and Zero mission, had it on my GBA. Well recommended
A Nintendo Minute debate about Metroid. Zero Mission on VC. I wonder if Nintendo are preparing us for a Metriod announcement...
Could just be my wishful thinking, of course.
Punch Out may be cheap in the UK, but a sealed copy of even the Nintendo selects version goes for about $75 in the U.S. now more for the original version, so I would buy those cheap sealed copies as an investment. It seems Nintendo has chosen Wii games that are out of print and go for big money on the used market to release first. They just need to release more of them and at much more consistent intervals than what they have been doing.
@Chicagoway It makes sense to space out the releases in order to sell each game to a higher percentage of the user base, but yes, it's frustrating. If VC was a monthly service instead, it would make more sense to just throw everything out there.
Wow, really good week of discounts there. Phoenix Wright, Shantae, and all them lovely Sega 3D Classics. I'm going to be doing some spending on Thursday.
@XyVoX
Your avatar is hypnotic
Whoa, Metroid: Zero Mission? Is that coming to North America?
@Sligeach Oh a guy who thinks he knows what's a rip off and what isn't. Hilarious
Oh man! I hope that Metroid came to NA
If you like 2d action games at all, DOWNLOAD METROID ZERO MISSION! Its the perfect introduction to the series in my opinion. Not too difficult, and not too easy. Its perfect in every way! I'd buy it right now, if I didn't already own the physical gba cartridge. I'm glad they put up fusion though, because I didn't own that one.
@xj220_afiles
I'm with you on firing who ever picks the weekly games for NOA. Every club Nintendo survey I filled out I Said how disappointing its been. Ive been waiting on Zero Missions forever, but I hope we get it a month from now. Hard to explain to the wife why I'm buying it when I have Code name STEAM on Friday then next week Resident Evil Revelations 2 and Final Fantasy type 0.
If you don't have the 3 wayforward games you should definitely pick them up. Mighty Switchforce 1 and 2 are really good games, accessible to lower level players and challenging given the times you need to get for more advanced players. Shantae was really good albeit somewhat short, i hope the kickstarter game is a longer experience.
Looking forward to Metroid: Zero Mission finally reaching NA, but I am not in a huge hurry for games right now. I need to finish Metroid Prime Trilogy and am still messing around with Smash. After that I have quite a few games I need to return to and finish and an even bigger backlog to buy.
But it's one more for the bucket list.
Nothing. For. me. this. week.
It's very encouraging seeing one more reason to anticipate Zero Mission in NA. It can't come soon enough.
@Ventilator People constantly complain about the selection even with all of the VC games. So you want them to release LESS of them?
@hiptanaka Watch them announce Metroid for 3DS. Will piss so many people off for not being a Wii U game. I'll be eating popcorn watching it unfold.
Terrible week, ages I don't see a week so bad and awful!!!
I'm speaking for my wallet btw, it is shivering in fear since I saw this awesome update ^o^
So far judging from the Nintendo of America website here's what we will be getting this week.
Don't Touch Anything red
My Style Studio: Notebook
Trine Enchanted Edition
@heathenmagic Hyper Drive Edition of 1 on Wii U has exclusive remixed versions of all of the levels that aren't on the 3DS version. I wouldn't miss Hyper Drive Edition of 1 if I was you.
@NoEasyBuckets : In other words, it cant satisfy everyone noe matter how it is.
@XyVoX Please change your avatar I've been watching it for 15 minutes straight now, I'm also crying a little inside that Miyamoto can't think of a way to make an F-Zero for the Wii U
@taffy i know the feeling buddy.
Metroid: Zero Mission is fantastic. Its organic, natural environments contrast very nicely with Fusion's technological-looking space station. Both have a very different feeling to them, yet are distinctly Metroid.
Could you confirm the prices in the 3DS eShop Permanent Discounts?
Some games are missing the price in euros.
@xj220_afiles are you kidding? They got metroid but everything else (punch out wii/fall) has been out for weeks. Also Na is getting out run 3d this week as well
@ikki5 Fire Emblem Sacred Stones, also don't you mean DK Country Returns instead of DK Return to Dreamland
@ToxieDogg Earning points for that ended December 31st.
I'm really hoping that Zero Mission comes to the US. Aside from Super Metroid, it's my favorite 2d Metroid experience.
@CaviarMeths ...more like 2017 on Nintendo's successor console.
@ToxieDogg
it's already ended as far as eSHop purchases go.
Pleased with Metroid. Not so happy with Punch Out or at least the price. For £9 I'd have bought it just for laugh. I don't care enough to pay £18 for it and even if I did can buy the disk for half that
Great week for Europe! Hopefully it's as awesome across the Atlantic.
@Paperluigi When you're spending $100 on a Zero Mission cartridge, you're doing something wrong.
Zero Mission!
This has got to be the best eShop week they've ever had. Zero Mission and OutRun are both brilliant, as is Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. Mighty Switch Force 1 and 2 are ridiculously good for the price, as are the discounted Super Hang-On and Afterburner II.
Wow. Great week for Europe. I hope we get Metroid and the Sega sale in North America.
@Grumblevolcano
Facepalm
I had Kirby in my head for the next one to list. lol The fact that it was DK "Returns" didn't help much as it flowed right into it. lol
Yes, Out-Run is finally here! I will get that and maybe 3D Streets of rage and Shinobi.
Here's hoping Zero Mission makes its way to the North American eShop as well. I'm quite looking forward to that one. (I guess I could just go hunt around for an old GBA cart).
Does Zero mission still contain the original Metroid as bonus content? Or did they edit that out to not cannibalize their own sales?
@ikki5 Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones is one that you forgot.
We're pretty much missing out on all of the actually good games here in NA...why is it taking so long for NoA to release Golden Sun 2 here?! It's literally the second half of the first Golden Sun game that was released nearly a year ago so we have been left with literally a half a game for all of this time...>_<
Gonna be getting:
WiiU: MSF! Hyper Drive Edition
3DS:
3D Out Run (yes! been waiting)
MSF! 2
Shantae
3D Galaxy Force II
3D Streets of Rage
3D Shinobi III
3D Space Harrier
Ace Attorney Dual Destinies (drool)
Altogether 41 pounds. Not bad.
New 3DS owner here, bought the excellent 3D Super Hang On and Mighty Switch Force in the past two weeks, so glad to halve paid full price for at least some of those games.
@heathenmagic Both at those prices! Wayforward deserve all our moneys.
Woohooo Sega 3D games sales gota get them all & on top of that Metroid The Fall looks quite good as well .
I just wish the Wii u had a hard drive built in or you could change it like the Ps3 so we could have 1tb HDD's.
Mabe with nintendo's next console they might have a HDD at last so we don't have to worry it could be Nintendo's steam machine with all nintendo games on
Hmm, PAL gets Zero Mission this week. So I'm guessing we'll see it in NA sometime in October maybe
3d outrun! and maybe shantae
Metroid: Zero Mission! One of my favorites GBA games! ♥
@hiptanaka
I think they kill all momentum on the VC with their trickle out of games myself. Given their financial state currently it might not be a bad idea to roll out a monthly service on the VC. It would be almost pure profit. The way they are doing things now is definitely not working very well imo. When they have more angry and disappointed fans every week rather than happy ones, it might be time to examine why that is and change some of it up. But I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen.
@Boxmonkey
Your reply is worded a bit harshly but I can't say I totally disagree. I'm really hoping they announce N64 games at E3 this year. The most frustrating part is that the N64 games only work with the classic controller , which is now discontinued! Unbelievable disorganization and bad management on Nintendo's part for that oversight. They have treated their console customers pretty badly this generation. They should have really beefed up the VC when third party support vanished off the Wii U. Yet they won't even put N64 games on it. It really is unacceptable and not a good way to treat customers.
Wow. Wasn't expecting that. I'm gonna have to get some of those Sega games.
@Chicagoway I've supported Nintendo since the early 90's and I've never been so disappointed with a console! The first party games have been great but if things don't change massively with the next console nintendo will be in real trouble. I shouldn't have to spend £350 on a PS4 just to play a couple of third party games.
I feel for the guy that bought my GBA copy of zero mission just last week for £112!!!
I think i'll buy it again for £6
Those Ace Attorney and Sega 3D Classics discounts, oh baby.
@Boxmonkey
Yeah, I've been with them since the SNES days and it really has been disappointing this generation so far from them. I'm also getting ready to buy a PS4 when Batman comes out, another game skipping the Wii U. I don't really want to buy another console either.
The irony is if Nintendo had better hardware and the third party support they would probably dominate the console market like they do the handheld market. I personally think they are done with the traditional home console market after this generation. It's the only thing that could explain their total inaction in regards to the Wii U, but that's just my opinion. I guess we'll have to wait and see what they have planned for the next generation, but if they don't change some things around then I agree that they really are in big trouble.
Please, Nintendo of America, give us some Zero Mission goodness!
Can't wait for 3D Outrun. Been a while coming. Also might have to pick up Phoenix Wright - never played them before and been considering the original trilogy 😃
Disappointing that the Week One discount was apparently only for the initial batch of Wii games. Would have definitely picked up Punch-Out!! for £8, but I'm sure I can pick up a physical copy for less than £17.99!
Tempted by Phoenix Wright, but as someone who's not played any of the series before, should I opt for the original trilogy or Dual Destinies?
Nothing for me this week. (I already got Metroid NES)
Metroid Zero Mission is different enough to worth downloading even if you do already own NES Metroid. Its not the same experience.
Does Zero mission still contain the original Metroid as bonus content? Or did they edit that out to not cannibalize their own sales?
They've not altered a game so far (other than not being able to use link-up).
Metroid zero mission is a fun game but I never got the point for making it. To make Metroid 1 more accesible? that was already done with Super Metroid. It was a pseudo-remake of Metroid but much easier.
The last mission with zero suit samus was dumb and only a wait to make sakamoto's creep wishes. not to mention to push his "narrative" bs in metroid.
It's much better than M:OM that's for sure.
@minotaurgamer
As someone who cut their teeth growing up on the NES original and first completed Super Metroid around 20 years ago i found Zero Mission to be outstanding. I'd say it's my favorite Metroid game, i haven't played Fusion, Prime 3 or Other M though, and i wish they'd remake more games in much the same way. No way anyone can consider the first Super Metroid a begginers game, pre internet days that game was cryptic as heck, it blew our little minds when we figured out to power bomb the glass tube to advance and i'd also suggest it's an entirely different experience.
Anyway, I'll be getting 3D Bare Knuckles out of the 3DS sale. Why no 3D Sonic The Hedgehog discount?
Pretty good week, I'll be getting metroid,mighty switch force on both wiiu and 3ds and a couple of the Sega 3d games.
I think all these gba games need to be on the 3ds! Portable options please
Wow, what a loaded week. Tons of good games and great discounts. Makes me excited to see what North America (my region) is going to get.
Metroid Zero Mission, LOVE IT
Please let Zero Mission come to North America! I've been waiting for this one for a while.
I'm gonna give Streets of Rage 3D a whirl. Hoping for part 2 soon. That one is the best!
Edit: Of course!! First one of those obligatory stability patches before being allowed access to the eShop. Typical!!! GRRRRRRRR :X
@CrazyOtto
Oh yes I forgot about that! Double dip it is then! Thanks
@Angelic_Lapras_King
Yes they are a great developer. Might have to get them all
@Ventilator
VC games harming the sales of indie games? Nonsense! People tend to think twice when spending €50 on a single game, but not when it comes to VC titles at €5 to €8 a piece. It's Nintendo's fault for not giving certain titles enough exposure in the eShops and to making the search for older titles by category practically impossible.
If the eShop did a better job at presenting the games and making it easier to search
Wow, what a great week! I'll be getting Metroid Zero Mission, 3D Outrun, 3D Shinobi, Shantae and Mighty Switch Force 2
Hoping for Zero Mission in NA soon have plenty to play right now, but I might interrupt it for that. Really great game.
Metroid Fusion proved what I suspected, too. For me and mine playing handheld games blown up to large screen is really the best way to play. WIsh I could do the same with ds and 3ds games :/
Of course, Zero Mission in Europe first. I'd like to see who's picking the games here in NA...I really hope we'll get it soon.
Another weak, sorry I meant week goes by for the 3DS. Seems like Nintendo thinks that just having game discounts (and not much else) is good enough for the 3DS at the moment. .
@xj220_afiles Agreed, the NA selection always pales in comparison.
@Kevlar44 metroid was harder than super Metroid because it was just mean lol, it was totally unforgiving and the repetitive nature of the map so it could get way harder than Super Metroid, IMO. But Super Metroid was just as fun if not more fun. Anyway I really wrote this post to suggest playing fusion as it is really pretty good. My first time through I was frustrated at the segmented nature of it but once freed of the tiny dim GBA screen I realized that it still delivered all the Metroid goodness that the others had all with its own unique flavor. Really appreciate it much more now.
Although many Wii owners will probably have a copy of Punch Out ! i never got around to purchasing it on the Wii so i am actually happy, yes happy to see this coming to the Wii U and that's definitely not something you can say every week when it comes to the eShop and Virtual Console.
@Nintendzoey If they gave the 3DS stuff for more than 1 week in a row people would be at their throat for not using that focus on the Wii U.
@manu0: What's unlocks are you talking about?
STREETS OF RAGE get some
What a fantastic week! Will be getting Zero Mission, Out Run and all the other Sega 3D classics I've waited far too long to purchase! Nostalgia has a ridiculously awesome flavor
@KnightRider666 The Fusion gallery
@Vriess : I was thinking about new games. VC games seem to grind the charts with only a few exceptions.
I own Xbox 360 and PS3 too, and its not easier to find old games on any of those shops. Steam is the biggest mess of them all as there is over 10.000 games there.
@Barbiegurl777 I don't know, but hopefully it'll arrive for you soon
Holy Moly! Look at those Sega 3D Classic Discounts! Awesome! I'm still paying full price for Outrun 3D. Been waiting too long to wait on a sale
@SilentHunter382 I would love to see Shining in the Darkness released as a 3D Classic. Heck Sega just open the flood gates!
Found an interesting Video about Outruns history its worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV8gBDqF-9Y
@Windy I completely forgot about Shining in the Darkness. If Sega release the 3 games on the same day they would have my money in a heartbeat.
Uhhh even tho NA got punch out why is UK still getting wii games but NA doesn't get anymore downloadable wii games.. For God sakes they own the rights to their games, they have no excuse other than not wanting to make money.
Nintendo stock holders need to get nintendo to start releasing their old games at mass..... Stupid stupid stupid stupid buissness decisions.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies vs
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy ?
What do you suggest? Which one is more difficult?
Trilogy need more time and more content than Dual Destinies i guess.
Brain Teasers are difficult? I need something to stimulate my brain .
I cant afford both becuse my wallet gonna explode .
It is so sad, that Nintendo has to resort to this to keep it's slave consumers glued to them at all costs
