Serebii Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Strangely we haven't had a press release yet. However, America seems to be getting Pilotwings this week, and our releases are very similar to theirs each week
Dcubed Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Strangely we haven't had a press release yet. However, America seems to be getting Pilotwings this week, and our releases are very similar to theirs each week Well as I pointed out in the Wii U eShop thread, we're 3 games behind the US ATM (Kirby's Dreamland 3, Megaman X and Balloon Fight; the latter of which has not been released in Europe outside of the 30p Famicom promotion), so it's quite possible that we wont get Pilotwings this week... That being said, I do hope we get it (along with the other missing games of course ). Love the original Pilotwings and having it on the Gamepad would be sweeeeet

Dat soundtrack.

Dcubed Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I'm not greedy. I am! Oh, while you're at it Nintendo, you might as well give us Kirby's Dreamland 3 and Balloon Fight (oh and the Japanese only games like Kirby's Superstar Stacker and Panel de Pon) while you're at it!

Serebii Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Well, you guys won't like this Balloon Fight Vegas Stakes For Balloon Fight - This is an updated European version of the game. It has now been optimised to run at a similar speed to the US version and with corrected aspect ratio.
Aneres11 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 WTF kind of update is this. Seriously. I actually want stuff to play on my Wii U - considering it's gonna take a month or 2 before we start seeing games, I'd expect Nintendo to at least throw some stuff on the VC to tide people over! Thank God for the 3DS is all I can say right now!
Dcubed Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Vegas Stakes is actually a pretty good game. There's much more to it than meets the eye (and it's also an exclusive in NOE's favour - not even Japan has it on the Wii U VC yet ) It's not just a simple gambling simulator, there's a lot of charactarisation to it as well...

You haven't sold it to me Dcubed, sorry! I think Nintendo can do much better than that!
Hero-of-Time Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Apparently Japan has got Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI on their e-shop this week!
Dcubed Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Apparently Japan has got Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI on their e-shop this week! Well at least we're not having to wait until the end of the generation for S-E to start putting out their VC games this time around in Japan at least...
Serebii Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I love Secret of Mana. This better come here soon...
Blade Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I can understand nintendo timing releases and not releasing eerything at once for business reasons. What is taking the piss is drivel being released week in, week out. Their back catalogue is amazing and I do not see the problem in using it. Although im miffed about this im not going to cry over it, stamp my feet and self harm. It is really not that of a big deal. It would be nice to have regular decent games but to be honest we are getting what appears to be some decent retail games this year that I would probably not have time to play VC releases. Ive not even really touched Super Metroid yet! I do think the decent VC games will come...in time :-)

I do think the decent VC games will come...in time :-) I think the issue is that we are pretty much sitting twiddling our thumbs, waiting for some substantial retail releases, so now would be the time to fill in the gaps and release some quality VC titles. Oh, by the way, I didn't leave last night on MH because you arrived. I was going off anyway. Just didn't want you to think I had left as soon as you arrived.
Agent Gibbs Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Apparently Japan has got Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI on their e-shop this week! I hate them
Serebii Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 North America no longer gets Pilotwings this week, rather it gets Vegas Stakes
S.C.G Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 If they'd given us Pilotwings this week it would have made more sense as then the releases would be rather suited to region... Europe: Pilotwings feels like a very UK/European game what with all the flight, 'chocks away! 'n all that. America: Vegas Stakes... need I say more? Japan: Final Fantasy VI/Secret of Mana both classic Japanse 'ARR PEE GEEEE'S!' Of course it would have been better for everyone if we'd got all of these releases in all regions... well better for everyone except me, I'm still playing catch up with the VC reviews. :p But I'd still welcome them of course. : peace:
-Dem0- Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 A Virtual Console promotion is starting tomorrow for NA Wii U owners. 28th-30th June. http://club2.nintendo.com/clubn-vc-promo-0613/
Dcubed Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Nice but I want more games ahead of more promotions!
-Dem0- Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Yup. Besides, they really couldn't give this to us as we hardly have anything as it is or most people already bought the ones they wanted.
Serebii Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Oh what, you can't post screenshots of Secret of Mana onto Miiverse...but I want to show off when I have the Level 9 Salamando spells
Lens of Truth Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Do we think there's any rhyme or reason to NoE's withholding? Or are they just bonkers?
