Nintendo Download: 2nd February (North America)

FE Heroes for sure. After that, meh.

"Wow, everyone who voted is going to download FE Heroes! Nobody voted for the other games though. I wonder how many voted."

(sees 1 vote)

Oh. Guess I'm early, lol.

Get "Bomberman '94" it's one of the best Bomberman games ever made. Even the VS mode is still fun, even by yourself with computer opponents.

Hello discount for Bomberman!

I've never played a FE game in my life. So maybe I'll give the mobile game a try if it gives me an idea on what to expect

FE Heroes and Bomberman'94 for me.

Fe hero's and I'll upgrade the 2 tg games

Bought Rhythm Heaven Megamix last night from the MyNintendo discount, I'll be downloading FE Heroes once it's available over here.

Fire Emblem Heroes since it's the only game I can afford right now

Man, we need a Lifespeed review

Fire emblem is not available in the app store yet in North America...

I'm amused at the "Legna Tactica" title, given "legna" is Italian for... well...

I'll try FE Heroes, but the small maps are turning me off. Lifespeed for sure and I would get Bomberman '94 if I didn't already have it on the Wii VC.

Ugh Nintendo needs to remember the 3ds has a virtual console service. Tg16 games are on the 3ds in Japan so why not release them here? Last week they put out 3 NES VC for WiiU but ignored the 3ds! There's no reason for them to keep skipping it over.

Still can't download fe??

nothing for me. still playing Dragon Quest 8 right now

Welp, considering that it's been two-plus months since the 3DS has received a Super Famicom release in Japan, and over a month for NA, I can only assume that Nintendo is doing the same thing with the SNES VC that they did with the NES. I do wish that they'd just come out and say "we're discontinuing the service."

Poochy & Yoshi with Amiibo arriving from Amazon tomorrow for same price as Ninty download.

I'll be grabbing the TG16 games. They're all a joy, and I have my fingers crosses for Gofer No Yabou and Rondo of Blood now. Maybe we'll even eventually get Fighting Street! Haha

@BanjoPickles To be fair, discontinuing would mean you couldn't buy the games anymore. The SNES VC was a scam to move more N3DS' for sure, but they're not going to come out and just say that. Not to mention more common business practice is to leave it open just in case.

Anyway, I was going to get Legna Tactica but I looked up vague spoilers online and man I don't know if I can handle the plot twist (and all its versions) at the end.

Bizarre that Nintendo is kicking out these TG16 games this close to the end of the Wii U. Should've done it well before now.

Gradius!

Nice! I'll definitely grab those TG16 games. Bomberman is always fun local multiplayer and even against the computer opponents.

Yoshi !
I have pre ordered Yoshi Eolly World 3DS during this week. Hopefully arrived on Sunday so I will play it on my New 3DS XL.

I'll be downloading Fire Emblem Heroes as soon as it's available on IOS Canada.

sighs
Another boring week again, figures.

@flapjackashley2 Not to mention all the Neo Geo games stuck on just the Wii.

If I still hadn't made up my mind about buying a Switch and Nintendo announced that they weren't going to allow RCMADIAX to 'develop' (I use that term loosely) for their new system, I would buy one just to support that decision. Gah.

TG16 games? Yes please. I love this version of Bomberman

(The Sega Saturn version is still the best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqfmb49P7d8).

Also going to give the Fire Emblem game a shot.

@UmbreonsPapa just try the demo of any fire emblem. Playing the mobile fire emblem to get an idea is like playing Super mario run or miitomo to understand what Super Mario Galaxy is like

Yeesh, this mobile app is taking its sweet time to release in NA.

@BertoFlyingFox I'm assuming noon east coast, 3pm west coast

@russellohh Well, the next question is how different is this game from a console or handheld version of the game? I get your point if its a drastically, radical difference. But if its even remotely in the same wheelhouse gameplay wise, then I don't think its far-fetched to use it as a gateway to the main series. Judging by the comments, it doesn't look like anyone has actually played the game yet. So maybe that's a question that has to wait to be answered. But you do make a good point that I could just download a demo of main game.

Probably FE Heroes and Bomberman 94. Maybe Lagna Tactica as well, it looks worth trying.

FE for me. I wonder if bomber man will be discounted if you own it for Wii.

Kinda weird Bomberman '93 didn't get to go first with its better multiplayer.

@River3636 yea both are

I didn't even know FEH was coming out this soon. Does anyone know how big it'll be, cause I doubt my poor phone can handle it (Man I need to have a tablet on deck...)

@JaxonH I'd like a review too, but $6 isn't much of a risk, either. That's the price of a burrito, and could (hopefully) provide much more entertainment than one.

Starting to think FEH isn't actually coming here until Feb the 3rd or something.

Anyone else not seeing the discount for both Gradius and Bomberman?

It's finally here,

ready for you.

If you know the gameplay,

you can play along too.

Preorder your amiibo now,

if you want to cheer.

Because Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World,

is almost here!

rip 3ds vc

Is Bomberman '94 4-player only? I recall you could do 5-player on Wii (with GC controllers) but not in Wii-mode on Wii U.

I am not downloading anything this week, but I will pick up Poochi and Yoshi at retail.

im surprised fire emblem heroes got released before super mario run

Bomberman '94 for sure!

@Slim1999 Yeah, I just found out.

@CharlieSmile Burritos are really good. You are making me hungry.

I'm guessing Gradius is basically the same as the NES version with more arcade-accurate graphics.

@joedick: Good question.

@Everyone_Else: I'll be reading the Star Splash review. Otherwise, Pac-Land, or I'll wait to get the funds to get B94.

Does Bomberman 94 do five player on Wii U?

I wish Nintendo would confirm whether the Switch has VC already.

@majinx07 Did the discount work for you? I heard it's not showing up for some people...

@Roam85 I'm also waiting to find that out before getting it. I'm hoping it's Wii U controller and four Wiimotes for five player action.

When is fe coming waiting all day to download it???????????

Bomberman 94, heck yes!

Wow! A REALLY NEW Turbografx game! Gradius Turbografx is really new and never appeared in Wii VC. This is like the real arcade game so it is a must-buy.

And Bomberman 94 is an import game with 5 player option! (I have Bomberman 93 so it is excellent i can enjoy this now, without pay the 100 extra points of import Wii VC games).

Both are for me!!!!
(Note: I think it is sure to see Turbografx in Switch VC)

....so RCMADIAX's "I C REDD" is a game or financial report?...

I've got Bomberman '93 on my Wii VC, so no discount for me. I'll definitely get Fire Emblem Heroes when it's available.

Think I'll get Bomberman '94. The only Bomberman game got is currently stuck on the Wii VC (Bomberman '93, same as @chiefeagle02 and I guess a couple others here). I still want Bomberman Heroes on the Wii U VC, though...

@UmbreonsPapa hope you like FE Heroes if that rhe case i highly recommend playing a "complete" game they are better by all means than heroes in my opinion

@Don: The NS will definitely need an optional controller accessory for any type of system diverse VC, as the Joycons more than likely won't cut the mustard. Knowing Nintendo, & how so far, every other Switch accessory is expensive, I expect such a controller would be no different. They may even have to have 2 different controllers, or have adapters. It would be nice, if the WU Gamecube adapter could work, via a firmware update; The GCN controllers had pressure-sensitive shoulder buttons, making GCN virtual console an easy job for Nintendo.

@AG_Awesome: " I'm hoping it's Wii U controller and four Wiimotes for five player action." - That's the only way I can see it working.

@Everyone_Else: I do wonder, if one day, someone, or some group, will hack the WU, to make dual, or more simultaneous Gamepad use possible. In older computers from the 80's, there was a mode of graphics that shrunk the on-screen resolution, but allowed for more colors. In the same concept, the output to a single GamePad could be cut by a quarter, or half, allocating resources to a 2nd GamePad. That would be pretty cool.

@World Where did you find that spoiler? I could only find spoiler-free guides and reviews after a couple searches. It's as if the internet doesn't want me to know it, but I have to know...without actually having to play it, because that wouud require spending $7 and about 20+ hours on a mediocre RPG, and I've had my fill of those just last year.

@CanisWolfred I found it on a Kemco fansite. Here's the link (the people on it don't seem 100% on if it HAS to go down like that, but seems fairly likely; I put it into tinyurl to avoid the spoiler in the URL): https://tinyurl.com/hlu8h2o

@Captain_Gonru I'm starting to wonder if NOA screwed us over again.

—Gh... Dag...nabbit, I literally just bought Bomberman '93 on the Wii Shop Channel a couple days ago...

@World Thanks. Yeah, that'd be a tough pill to swallow. I'll admire the gaul, at least, but at the same time, now I know I won't be playing it.

@Captain_Gonru I need to do that!

I dont think I have ever anticipated a mobile game before Fire Emblem Heroes. The wait is worse now that it is release day and still not up =(

@CanisWolfred Yeah, in theory a gutsy move for a little mediocre RPG but not so great if you play these games because you like maxing out everyone's stats and completing the skill trees...

Lifespeed seems the most appealing to me this time around, although with the Switch launch so close, I'm done spending money on the 3DS.

Fire Emblem's a must. So is Gradius. I wish we could have gotten more TG-16 games earlier in the WiiU's life. I really hope the Switch VC has a robust lineup at launch or close to it.

@GameOtaku I'm curious why they ignore the 3DS VC too. For the past 2 years, it's gotten nothing, but the DKLand trilogy, the original 3 Pokémon games, and some SNES titles for New3DS. That's it.
I heard awhile back, some third-party company wanted to put a Gameboy game of their's on VC/Eshop, and Nintendo wouldn't let them. According to said company Nintendo stated they "moved beyond Gameboy games." So apparently, Nintendo doesn't care, or want to bother with it anymore. (If it's such a hassle for them, they should outsource VC development to another company like M2, or N.E.R.D.)
Not to mention, Japan has some NES games for 3DS that still aren't on the US or Euro' VC including Bubble Bobble, Final Fantasy 1, and Shadowgate. Nintendo is really neglecting 3DS fans who like old-school games.

@Beau_Skunk
That and there's some NES VC only on WiiU that could easily be on 3ds (star tropics 1 and 2, bayou billy, double dragon 3) and why hasn't NoA released tg16 on 3ds like they did in Japan.

Not bad for fire emblem (most people are getting it because it's free to start, but still)

NoA and NoE stopped caring for the 3DS VC for ages now.

Don't use my new mobile for anything besides work, but I'd be interested in Bomberman '94. Great game, always entertaining.

Wait,more TG16 games?! Someone should ask Konami what the delay was about.

@GameOtaku I think you need to ask Konami about the TG16 games.I would like to know too.

Just downloaded Heroes.....I turned off the sound right away to keep myself from stabbing my phone.

Hello discount for Bomberman!

Would you rather pay $6 to download the game from the Wii U eshop or the discounted cost of $9 for transferring TG16 games you've already paid full price for on Wii to Wii U?

Why no discount for TG16 games if you already downloaded on Wii VC?

'bout danged time we got turbo game!

I suppose five player may be possible using the Gamepad plus four Wiimotes and/or Pro controllers.

I only had to pay $3.50 for Bomberman '94 personally. So they fixed the discount. (50% off isn't bad, plus third-party consoles probably cost more to license for Nintendo.)

Bayou Billy might be hard to play on 3DS.
