Title: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 13, 2009, 10:33:13 PM
Based on a discussion here: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=28137.0, (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=28137.0,) I decided to turn this into a full thread. This is a list of games by region exclusivity. The "North America, but not PAL regions" ones, for example, are Virtual Console/WiiWare/DSiWare games that are out in North America but not Europe or Australia. I also keep track of games out in Japan but not any other region. I will update this thread 3 times a week (one after each regions update), but will keep it organized by making sure that this first post contains the most up to date list. Feel free to make suggestions to improve the list. The games here are listed by their North American name, Japanese-only games are listed by their English translated titles when possible.
Current list as of March 14, 2011:
Nintendo 2000 Points Card (DSi or Wii) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TOQ8KC?ie=UTF8&tag=spyke-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001TOQ8KC)

I know. Even going by just the Virtual Console they are at 449 games, including a lot of great games we might never get. Why hasn't Konami released Castlevania: Rondo of Blood here for example? They already translated it for the PSP release, so that is not an issue.

Post by: vudu on May 14, 2009, 02:50:11 PM
Thanks for doing this!
I'm not sure how much trouble it would be but it might be worth it to divide the Japan-only games by whether they were ever released outside of Japan originally. That list is huge and kind of unreadable.
Alternatively, it might just be easier to identify the titles of interest by either bolding them or putting them in a different color. Examples would include Rondo of Blood, Smash Bros, Majora's Mask, Contra ReBirth, etc.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 14, 2009, 03:44:18 PM
I think changing the color of games that were released outside of Japan is good. Until I compiled this list I didn't realize that some games have been released on multiple systems there (the Japanese VC has both the NES and Arcade versions of "The Tower of Druaga" for example).

Thanks. I don't know if NOE has a press site like NOA does, so I have to rely on messageboards like GAF for the PAL updates and GAF only had the WiiWare and DSiWare game listed.
Updated the list.

Pretty neat. Well done TJ.
It is quite sad how disproportionate the lists are. NCL should just retake control of NoE and NoA and handle things their way. Tired of not getting more games.

They probably aren't doing that because they can't find someone willing to be the one that has to tell Reggie he's not the boss anymore.

I think it's just business as usual, just this time people are compiling lists. I bet a list of retail games would have similar disparities.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 16, 2009, 10:26:07 AM
At least with retail games you can modify your system and import the games. With Virtual Console and WiiWare your only option is to buy a Wii system from another region and buy points to buy from that regions store.

Or use a homebrew program to change your region at will. There is one but it if you have the 4.0 update then you can't use it because they haven't hacked that yet.

BTW, you list Super C both as "NA but not PAL" and "NA and PAL but not AUS" (it's definitely released as Probotector 2 in Europe)

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for N64 Art Style: PictoBits (called Art Style: PictoPict in Japan) for DSiWare Crystal Defenders R2 for WiiWare Silver Star Chess for WiiWare
Is silver star chess that game that came out as Wii Chess in Japan? It's about time that came over. I'm glad Majora came out in the US because it is an amazing Zelda. I won't be getting it because I still have the N64 game but I'm happy others that missed it will now get to enjoy it. I'm a bit turned off by the Crystal defenders series because of how they are bundled and cheaper on the HD D/L services. They should have combined them and just offered what didn't fit as DLC like with MLaaK and Space Invaders.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 22, 2009, 05:55:44 PM
Nope, Wii Chess is from Nintendo. Silver Star Chess is NA name of "Saikyou Ginsei Chess", which was released on the Japanese WiiWare by Silver Star Japan and Electronic Arts.

Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Stratos on May 24, 2009, 02:57:36 PM
I would have bought it if it came to the States.
Maybe if I go to Europe some time I can grab it there.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: KDR_11k on May 24, 2009, 03:38:38 PM
Yeah, I just saw some shelves filled with it for 15€. There's a Fritz chess game for the Wii too, that may be a better game.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 24, 2009, 07:33:50 PM
Wii Chess supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, so it would be fun to play friends online. It really came out of nowhere with Nintendo just releasing it in Europe with almost no prior announcement. The game must have bombed because when they decided to release it in Japan they released it as a WiiWare game rather than as a retail game.

Yay for catchup week!
I want Bubble Bobble, plus the WW games are cheaper here. That is nice. Makes me wonder if devs watch sales in one region and if it doesn't sell terribly well then they reduce the price for other regions. Plaatchen got a 500 point reduction when it came to NA.

I bought Boulderdash 2 for the C64 back in the day...
It's a pretty well known and often cloned concept, you try to collect gems in an underground mine by digging through dirt in four directions, there are walls, rocks that fall if nothing is below them and can crush you, enemies, etc. It's pretty much a puzzle game as it's not easy to figure out where to dig and when to avoid blocking pathes off, detonate the right walls and not get crushed.

Yay for S&S on WW. It's getting some positive reviews.
Mario Vs Donkey Kong is the first DSiWare game I have even a moderate interest in.
Have any new VCA games even come out in NA? I don't even recall anything once the initial wave was released.

Post by: TJ Spyke on June 24, 2009, 08:46:11 PM
I think the biggest surprise of the week was a previously unannounced Tingle application. It includes a calculator and some other stuff. There was no mention of the before it showed up in the Japanese DSiWare Shop, I didn't list it since it's an application suite and not a game.
I was surprised that Dragon Quest Wars came out so soon too, hopefully that means we get it by the end of summer (being made by Intelligent Systems gives me hope that it is good).

It depresses me every week to update the original post and seeing the list of Japanese exclusive games grow larger and larger. Take a look at the first post and see all of the games Japan has that no other region does. Nintendo could stop releasing games in Japan and it would take several years (at the current rate of releases) to catch up.

Yes yes but we don't count Japan :P.
The maps are lame though, apparently there's only 5 cities per volume and it's only the capitals so unless you're traveling to a capital it's pretty damn useless.

Since I started tracking in late May, Japan has gotten 4, 10, 5, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 10, 6, 12, 18, 0, 10. That is an average of 7.28 games per week. North America has gotten 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 3. Not counting this week (to be fair to the average), that is an average of 4.72 games per week PAL regions have gotten 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 4, 2, 4, 5. That is an average of 3.93 games per week.

Is it really the SNES version of Zombies Ate My Neighbors? I thought the Genesis version was the one that popped up on the ESRB website a few years ago.
Regardless, I'm buying this tonight.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on October 26, 2009, 02:53:38 PM
Not 100% sure. I don't have access to my Wii to check, and Nintendo hasn't update their Virtual Console site yet (and the press released doesn't have the usual "Original Platform" entry for the game). I can always change it afterwards.
I was never able to beat this game as a kid, I always had to use a Game Genie to get invincibility and unlimited weapons.

Wasn't that typical for that era, though? SNES had the censorship but better color/sound while Genesis/MD had the blood and gore.
I D/L'd Zombies Ate My Neighbors out of curiosity. Never played it before.

Post by: Mop it up on October 26, 2009, 11:17:25 PM
Yeah, that's how things were before the ESRB was formed in 1994. After that, I believe Nintendo dropped most of their censorship policies. I'm pretty sure Mortal Kombat II had the blood and gore intact, and I know Doom does.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Stratos on October 26, 2009, 11:34:54 PM
There was a censored version of Doom on the SNES. It was called 'Super Noah's Ark 3D'. They basically did a total conversion of Doom except you were Noah and all of the animals were running loose on the ark and you had to but them to sleep with your tranquilizer crossbow. Good times. :D
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Mop it up on October 26, 2009, 11:39:59 PM
Actually, that was a censored version of Wolfenstein 3D, or rather a heavily censored version as a regular censored version was legally released. It is the only unlicensed game ever released, I saw a copy on eBay once which sold for $200. The funny thing about it is that it can't operate on its own, you need to insert another game in the top of it to override the Super NES lockout chip. It looks like a Game Genie.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Stratos on October 26, 2009, 11:43:00 PM
I stand corrected. I always thought it was funny how people tried to work around those lockouts.
I also never understood how those companies avoided legal retribution. I forgot how that lawsuit went down.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Mop it up on October 26, 2009, 11:48:03 PM
With the NES I think companies found a loophole in the NES patent or something which allowed them to create NES games as long as the cartridges weren't shaped like Nintendo's trademarked design. This, I believe, is why the Tengen version of Tetris is the only one where legal action succeeded, as it infringed upon the copyrights of another game. With the Super NES, I'm not sure. Considering the game had a limited release and sold very poorly, it may have been that it simply wasn't worth pursuing to squash just one game that didn't make money.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Stratos on October 26, 2009, 11:50:42 PM
They still sell the game, last I checked. Remember part of the way they got away with it was by selling the religious ones in religious stores so Nintendo couldn't threaten to stop supplying them with games because they only carried the religious games.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on October 26, 2009, 11:51:33 PM
"Super 3D Noah's Ark" was one of (not the only, but one of the very few) the unlicensed games released for the SNES. It was from a company called Wisdom Tree, who also released unlicensed NES games like "Bible Adventures" and "Sunday Funday", who licensed the mazes and code for Wolfenstein 3D from id Software. Players shot food at little goats that escaped from their pen. Nintendo never sued the company because almost all of their games were religious games (they even released Game Boy Color "games" that consisted of nothing but the text for the King James and New International versions of the Bible) and it they didn't want to worry about the publicity. This info come from the excellent book "The Ultimate History of Video Games" by Steven Kent. The company eventually shifted its focus to PC games.
Anyways, the SNES version of ZAMN did have some blood removed and other blood changed to green. This was standard for the time per Nintenodo's orders. As Mop said, after the ESRB was formed, Nintendo dropped these restrictions. This resulted in the SNES version of Mortal Kombat II having all of the blood and fatalities in the game and the SNES version crushed the Genesis version in sales.
No company was ever legally able to release illegal games (which unlicensed games are) for the NES. Nintendo sued and won against most of them. As I mentioned above, the main reason Nintendo didn't sue Wisdom Tree is because they didn't want to worry about possible bad publicity for suing a company that published religious games (another is that most of their games came out in 1992 and later, after the NES was fading away and the SNES was in full swing). All of these companies releasing unlicensed games were breaking the law as they were violating copyrights and patents.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Stratos on October 26, 2009, 11:58:44 PM
Really? I thought they ripped the Wolfenstein code. Glad to know they licensed it. And wasn't wisdom Tree a sub-group of Tengen?
I still have one or two of those Wisdom Tree games from when my parents bought them for me as a kid. The Zelda knock-off was actually pretty good. They even had a 'Mario Party' type board game generations before Mario Party was invented.
Angry Videogame Nerd did a piece on most of those games. Half of them were crap.
I'll have to check out that videogame history book. Sounds really interesting.
I remember a lot of my friend's parents being angry at Nintendo for 'making a game like Mortal Kombat with blood for children'. They couldn't understand when I explained that other companies made them because 'It was a Nintendo so Nintendo made the games'. *SIGH* ignorant parents :rolleyes:
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on October 27, 2009, 12:07:41 AM
Wisdom Tree was a subsidiary of a company named Color Dreams. They weren't involved with Tengen in any way. Color Dreams themselves released unlicensed NES games like "King Neptune's Adventure", "Pesterminator", "Metal Fighter", and "Menace Beach".
A funny story about Wisdom Tree. Their owners were openly Christian, but not their employees. One of the game designers who worked on Bible Adventures took the money he made for working on the game and went to Vegas and blew it all in less than a week.
I never played any of Wisdom Tree's games, but I remember EGM once called Bible Adventures one of the worst games of all time.

I guess I assumed that all of the groups making bootleg NES games were all connected together.
There was one where you could throw Baby Moses in the Nile River on purpose. It was bad enough the guards would punch a girl carrying a child and take the child and throw it in the river, but you playing as the girl could also hurl Baby Moses in the river. At least Baby Moses was a nice, quiet little baby. Though, in Yoshi's Island, there were points where I wished I could throw Baby Mario in a river too.
"Super 3D Noah's Ark" was one of (not the only, but one of the very few) the unlicensed games released for the SNES.
Really? It's the only one I'd heard of. Do you know what the others are?
I googled 'unlicensed snes games' and it tried to correct me to say NES instead of SNES games. I too am curious to hear about the others.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on October 27, 2009, 12:38:36 AM
I don't know the others, but Kent' book says the game was "one of the few unlicensed games to appear on the SNES".
There was another company that did sell technology to circumvent the NES's lockouts. However, Tengen and Wisdom Tree were separate companies (Tengen was owned by Atari Games to allow them to release console games since Atari Corporation owned the console rights to the "Atari" name, and Tengen did released licensed NES games like "Pac-Man" and "RBI Baseball" too).

Borderline. Technically it is a "game", the same way karaoke games like SingStar or Lips are (or fellow DSiWare games like Art Academy). I do feel torn about listing it though as the creator of the retail game said he didn't put a save feature in because he wanted it to just be an experience and not a goal.

Conversely, Spiritual Warfare is a very good NES game. It's a Zelda clone with Satan as the final boss.
That was my favorite. But I never beat it because Satan cheats and uses a big old rock as a shield. :P I always thought it was hilarious that your main weapons were the 'fruits of the spirit' as actualy pieces of fruit and you used them to bludgeon and beat people to death -sorry, conversion. ;)

An interesting note about Arcade Bowling is that it's designed by David Crane, one of the co-founders of Activision.

This is a pretty ****ing incredible week for Nintendo downloads. I remember really loving Indiana Jones on the SNES, and I'll definitely be buying that once I have a stable income again. I'll definitely be downloading some of those demos as well.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on November 16, 2009, 06:47:18 PM
I can't speak for the others, but the Bit.Trip Beat demo is 165 blocks (just so people can make sure they have enough space).

I am not sure, it's hard to get any info on them. However, based on the fact that the descriptions for the games are similar and that Nintendo published all 4, you may be right.

All that Elektroplankton stuff makes me think I should pick up a used copy from the local GameStop.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on November 24, 2009, 05:31:15 PM
Good luck even finding a copy. The fact that the game was only sold online at nintendo.com and a couple of other websites meant that very few copies were even sold. Add in that used copies are expensive online (I haven't checked recently, but at one point a used copy was going for about $75 online) means you will be hard pressed to find a copy. In Canada it might be a LITTLE easier (only because Nintendo did sell it at EB Games as well).
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region

The WiiWare game was Chronos Twins DX.
I like Wikipedia, but the editors who maintain the WiiWare and DSiWare lists (especially for Japanese releases) are terrible. Tons of info is missing, including many games.
I like the idea of Dark Void Zero, that it's supposed to be a "lost" NES game.

Post by: KDR_11k on January 19, 2010, 04:28:31 PM
I don't know if Chronos Twins DX is easier than Chronos Twin (no plural for twins here) but considering how much people liked DX while the DS one got panned for being confusingly difficult and whatnot I expect there to be some improvements in DX.

Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 19, 2010, 08:08:07 PM
Yep, Capcom made it have NES style graphics. They then came up with the idea to say that they had developed this as a NES game years ago but never released it and then forgot about it. This is even what they submitted to Nintendo for the games description for the weekly press release:
As the '80s were drawing to a close, the developers at Capcom began work on a top-secret project that aimed to set new standards for the platformer genre. That game was called Dark Void. Alas, Capcom suspended development on Dark Void as it began to evaluate the SNES. Before long, the game was shelved and drifted, unnoticed, into the annals of gaming history. Dark Void became a legendary "lost project" at Capcom. Now, nearly 20 years later, Dark Void is back! To commemorate the game's humble origins, Capcom has commissioned this recreation of the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled Dark Void Zero, on the Nintendo DSi system. You play as Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth.

I figured out my confusion over Chronos Twins. It is listed on GameFAQs, but it was released as a regular DS game three years ago in other territories, so it has a shot of the DS box.

Yeah, it was called Chrono Twin. I am not sure how it's related to the current games though since I didn't know about it until a few days ago.

The big news though is that Europe actually LOST a Virtual Console this week. The Commodore 64 game "The Last Ninja 3" had a bug that would cause the game to crash after beating level 1. Nintendo told Commodore Gaming to release a patch over 6 months ago, but they still have not. In addition, some regulatory body in the UK kept getting complaints. So Nintendo has pulled the game from the VC, refunded the 500 Wii Points to people who bought it, and disabled the game from those people's systems.

How did Nintendo disable copies of the game that already reside on users' systems? Or do you mean they just made it so you couldn't redownload the game?
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 26, 2010, 02:11:09 PM
I don't know, I am just going by what it said at Nintendo Life (I already knew that they had pulled the game and issued a refund, I hadn't heard about this disabling part). I am not sure why anybody would want to keep it anyways if you can only play the first level.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: vudu on February 26, 2010, 02:13:35 PM
Maybe it's a bad ass first level.
Or maybe they were a little kid when the game came out and since they weren't very good at games they could never beat the 1st level so it's the only one they have nostalgia for. I don't know. Who cares? I just want to know if it's somehow possible for Nintendo to disable a game that's already on my system.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: NWR_insanolord on February 26, 2010, 02:21:23 PM
It's probably a situation where if you want the refund you have to give up the game. I don't think the system in place on the Wii allows Nintendo to forcibly take back a game even if they wanted to.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo's TOS states that they may alter things on your Wii like removing illegal channels and such. Remember they like to release things in the system updates that removes the HBC and what-not. So a WiiConnect24 Wii could easily have their VC games removed. This sounds a bit extreme though.

I doubt they'd be available individually, but if there is ever a Virtual Handheld service, then the Gallery games might be available through that. I've always felt that Game and Watch games were the perfect portable games. They are simple concept games that are easy to play and hard to master, and your goal is to get a high score so they are good for short bursts of playing. The Gallery versions also have an "interrupt save" feature which allows you to suspend your game, so if you have to suddenly quit then you could pick up where you left off later.

If I remember correctly, Snake's Revenge was a game that was produced without the authority of the game's creator, Hideo Kojima. It was made specifically for American audiences because we didn't get the real game, Metal Gear 2. Snake's Revenge is not part of the series' canon.

Actually, that is wrong. Konami made Snake's Revenge first. While the game was being developed, one of the games staff member talked to Kojima about the game and said the game was not an authentic sequel and requested that a "true" sequel be made by him. Snake's Revenge was first released in April 1990, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake was first released in June 1990.
In a interview with Steven Kent, Kojima actually said he liked Snake's Revenge.

I thought "Diddle" was a joke name, a Google search show Diddl is some kind of cartoon mouse. Only that DSiWare release is new, all of the other games are already out in North America (although the Chronos Twins DX game is 1000 points in North America and 700 in Europe).

Super Mario Kart was a Christmas game in NA, wasn't it? Any idea why it took so damn long to cross the metaphoric pond?

Even earlier, North America got it on November 23. Still, that is only about four months, Europe had Super Smash Bros. for almost six months before North America got it. I wish I knew why Nintendo waited so long with these two huge releases.
Family Mini Golf is a case of better late than never, it came out in North America in June of last year.

btw, Ironclad is actually a NeoGeo CD game which is why it's 1000 points instead of the usual 900.

Yep, it's like how TurboGrafx-CD games cost 100 points more than TurboGrafx-16 games.

It's not the first time it's happened. It happened yesterday with the North American releases (where the Mr. Driller DSiWare games is 300 points cheaper than its Japanese price). Maybe Nintendo wanted to apologize to Japanese games for releasing the game 13 months after it came out in North America?

Apparently Nintendo of Europe sent out their PR saying the games were coming out this week, then a few hours later changed their minds and pushed them back to April 23.
If there are any Australian posters on the board, could you lt me know which European VC/WW/DSW games are not available in Australia? It's pretty hard to actually find that info.

Post by: TJ Spyke on April 26, 2010, 01:24:53 PM
I wish the WiiWare demos were like that. Why take down a WiiWare demo after a couple of months, and at the same time keep up a demo for a 3 year-old DS game?
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: KDR_11k on April 26, 2010, 02:11:47 PM
To be fair those WiiWare demos were a test run for the idea overall but I think it was a massive success (sales for the demoed titles definitely went up though maybe the sales for other titles went down?) and they really should bring them back.

I don't understand the logic behind making the demos available for a limited time. Does it cost anything to keep them up for download?
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 27, 2010, 09:31:32 PM
I think it does cost money to host the demo on their servers, but I doubt the costs are that high. I also think that they would help convince more people to buy the games. They did say it was just a trial though, so maybe they will roll out a more extensive demo system in the future?
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Stratos on April 28, 2010, 03:24:39 AM
Maybe it was because Nintendo didn't want the demos up that long? I know people who got the World of Goo demo and played it to death but never bought the full game. So by giving them a tasted and then placing a time limit on it would possibly do two things: make people who would 'try it eventually' try it sooner and also pulling the demo after a bit could leave people wanting more and thus getting the full version.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Mop it up on April 28, 2010, 05:16:35 AM
The demos can still be played if they're still in the Wii memory/SD card, so I don't know if having timed demos would really prevent people from only playing the demo and never buying the game.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: KDR_11k on April 28, 2010, 02:03:13 PM
The sales of the demoed games definitely went up, what I think may have happened is that they hurt the sales of the games without demos.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Stratos on April 28, 2010, 02:29:52 PM
So make more demos! Right?
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Mop it up on April 28, 2010, 04:56:23 PM
Well, they can't make TOO many demos, or else they'll end up in a situation like what you described in your last post: people will just play the free demos and not buy games. I downloaded all of the previous demos (except World of Goo since I have it) but didn't buy the games. Though to be fair, I had no prior interest in the games, so it wasn't really a lost sale in my case.

It seems to be the week of odd European game titles - I forgot Kirby Super Star is called Kirby's Fun Pak (shudder) over here, and I absolutely refuse to call Rotozoa by that travesty of a name.
Still, a relatively strong update for the PAL Shop Channel. The best Kirby platformer, a new Art Style game and Lead The Meerkats might turn out okay.

Should Just Sing really count as an app? AFAIK it does rate you on your performance so it's a music game.

Oh hey, another Nintendo 64 game? Awesome. Mario Tennis may be one of the first Mario sports titles, but it's still an excellent game. It's light on features, but the core gameplay is solid and enjoyable. I actually prefer it over Mario Power Tennis, for some reason. Probably because of the power shots and gimmick courts, which don't seem to fit in with the gameplay, for some odd reason. In any case, any fan of Mario and/or tennis shouldn't hesitate to download it.

Waaah! No Harvest Moon 64 on VC console ever (http://vc.nintendolife.com/news/2010/08/harvest_moon_64_will_not_sprout_on_virtual_console)! :'( :'( :'(
Game was coded in a very awkward way which makes it tough to port over. I have it on N64, but I don't have it right now and I wanted to get it anyway. Would have been one of the first 3rd Party VC games besides Ogre Battle.

Given that all the Harvest Moon games are essentially the same (outside of Rune Factory), does it really matter if the N64 entry doesn't make it onto the VC? That game is completely broken and boring once you get the Greenhouse anyway. I would definitely like to see 3rd party N64 titles, but I can live without that one.

I have never played any Harvest Moon game, but I hear a lot of fans say that Harvest Moon 64 is the best in the series.

None of the Harvest Moon games have captured my attention and interest as much as the N64 one. SNES is a close second. Rune Factory was pretty awesome though.

I enjoyed Harvest Moon 64 for the first four game months, but after that it soon became boring and tedious. It was then too much of a routine, there was nothing new to discover or figure out, it was just maintaining everything until you got evaluated in the third spring. There wasn't enough stuff to do in the game to fill those nine months.
On the opposite side, Rune Factory Frontier sometimes felt like there was too much to be done, it was hard to figure out how to manage it all, and some of the required tasks were just annoying. Plus, it still suffers from a slow pace, as it takes a long time for certain things to happen, like building a relationship.

The DS Rune Factory is basically the same thing as the Wii version. As for Harvest Moon DS, I've gotten back into it recently, and I'm having a great time with it.

WiiWare:
-Fenimore Fillmore - looks like possibly an adventure game, judging by the screenshots - 1000 points.
Virtual Console:
-Samurai Showdown III - 900 points.

Spend Labor Day with Peculiar Cowboys, Deadly Samurai and Feathered Friends
You’ve earned a day off. No matter what kind of labor keeps you busy on most Mondays, today is the perfect day to just relax and enjoy yourself. To help put you in the leisurely spirit, this week’s new downloadable games for Wii™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems offer welcome diversions for everyone under the sun. Mosey into an atypical Old-West adventure with Fenimore Fillmore “The Westerner” for the WiiWare™ service. Live out your secret samurai fantasies with the NEOGEO classic SAMURAI SHOWDOWN III, now available on the Virtual Console™ service. For some fun on the go, the Nintendo DSiWare™ service now lets you test your tile-matching skills with Simply Mahjong, interact with rare birds in My Exotic Farm, or get your six-string kicks with Music on: Acoustic Guitar.
WiiWare
Fenimore Fillmore “The Westerner” Publisher: Revistronic Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Cartoon Violence, Mild Language, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco Price: 1,000 Wii Points™
Description: Welcome to the West! Come and see the fastest cowboy in action. Visit a typical Western town with a grand saloon, a sheriff’s office and a bank. Meet the classic doctor, the powerful “master of the land,” an industrious pioneer and men and women who raised a great nation with their blood, sweat and tears. But there are things that cannot be helped, and one of them – very typical in the West – is the continuous fighting between farmers and cattle ranchers. While farmers used to win the sympathy of most people, cattle ranchers had more money, more men and more power. Only a cowboy as peculiar as Fenimore Fillmore could side with the farmers when the rest of the cowboys are paid by the merciless and sinister cattle rancher.
Virtual Console
SAMURAI SHODOWN III Original platform: NEOGEO Publisher: D4 Enterprise Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: T (Teen) – Blood, Use of Tobacco, Violence Price: 900 Wii Points
Description: This is a fighting game released in 1995 as a sequel to the previous year’s release of SAMURAI SHOWDOWN II. Though this is the third installment in the series, the story takes place between the first and second installments. Players can choose from 12 samurai seeking to defeat Zankuro Minazuki. Along with minor upgrades from the last version – such as the ability to press buttons to fill your rage gauge and the ability to defend in midair – you can also select from slash and bust personality types for each character. Each type has its own set of special moves you can take advantage of, effectively doubling the amount of characters you can play.
Nintendo DSiWare
Simply Mahjong Publisher: Engine Software Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points™
Description: Simply Mahjong gives you exactly what you want: pure mahjong on your Nintendo DSi system. Mahjong is a Chinese tile-matching game. The tiles are arranged in a special pattern with their faces upward. A tile is said to be open if it can be moved either left or right without disturbing other tiles. The goal is to match pairs of identical tiles. The game is finished when all pairs of tiles have been removed from the board or there are no exposed pairs remaining. The simple game design and easy, intuitive controls make it a game that the whole family can enjoy. The game features 50 puzzles in each level to provide hours of fun.
My Exotic Farm Publisher: BiP Media Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: My Exotic Farm is an exotic farm simulation game. In the beginning, all you own is an empty field, a few pennies and a single parrot. If you feed and take care of it, the parrot will make feathers that can be sold. With this money, you can buy new animals at the Farmers’ Market and purchase equipment from the shopkeeper. Little by little, as your farm builds up, you will unlock bonuses including a well, a great green macaw, a guard dog and a 4x4. You can also exchange animals with your friends who play My Farm or My Exotic Farm.
Music on: Acoustic Guitar Publisher: Abylight Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: It’s like having an acoustic guitar in your pocket! Play your favorite songs easily with the predefined chord option and enjoy the high sound quality. Hear the fingers on the frets and the nails while strumming. A directory of more than 900 chords shows you how to place your fingers on a real guitar and lets you listen to them when selected. Five different styles will accompany you to set the mood: Pop Rock, Soft Rock, Country, Ballad and Blues. Other features include a palm mute function, a metronome and the ability to save up to 10 sessions.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 14, 2010, 01:06:16 AM
The Genesis wasn't anywhere near as popular in Japan as it was in America, which is why Genesis games are 600 points there instead of 800. Since that was the only time Sonic was really good, most Japanese gamers don't have the nostalgia for the series that's basically the only thing sustaining it.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Mop it up on October 14, 2010, 02:13:37 AM
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. So it isn't too far off what I said, as the lower Genesis popularity resulted in the lower Sonic popularity.

I'm finding Monster Hunter hard to put down, and need to know whether these demos should command some attention or just be downloaded and "gotten to eventually"...

Play the demos if you are interested in purchasing the games, otherwise don't bother. The Jett Rocket and ThruSpace demos basically just give you the training stages, so they'll give you an idea what the games are like but they, themselves, aren't very enjoyable. The Bit.Trip.Fate demo has the first two levels minus the second boss. I didn't play the And Yet It Moves demo since I have it, and I wouldn't recommend it because it's dull.

Thanks for the heads-up!
I really wanted to try And Yet It Moves because the concept was cool... but didn't want to pay because the game looked kind of boring. Your comment reaffirms that impression. I'll download the demo for later, but won't be in a rush to play.

Taito Trademarks Darius Twin, Lufia 1 & 2 With U.S. Patent Office (http://www.1up.com/news/taito-trademarks-darius-twin-lufia)
Hell yes! We might actually see Lufia 2 on the US Virtual Console. ;D

I might be tempted to download Lufia II if it makes it to the Virtual Console, as the original cartridge costs way too much for my taste.
Wait, I thought we had Lufia on the VC? Or was that Breath of Fire?
You're probably thinking of the recent DS remake of Lufia.

I hear that the Japanese VC is getting Adventure Island II in December, which makes me happy. I want that game in NA.

I found something interesting on Neogaf:
Quote from: Neogaf
According to the guys at Gaijin Games, demos which are rated higher than bronze on the Nintendo Channel stay on longer than those which do not. Otherwise, the demos are GONE in a month.
Also if you anyone was wondering, Snowpack Park is made by Skip.

Post by: Mop it up on November 30, 2010, 06:24:31 PM
How can people rate the demos? They don't even show up in the Nintendo Channel database.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Stratos on December 03, 2010, 05:53:41 AM
Maybe it's an internal thing we can't see based on play time and amount of downloads?
Alternatively, it could be based on how well the game is selling (again, something we don't see directly).
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region

I bet it means if the game itself is rated that high, not the demo

I can't think of a more perfect representation of what the Virtual Console has become than the fact that we're getting a VC game called "S.C.A.T." :-\ I guess Nintendo really doesn't want my money these days, as there hasn't been anything on the download services since Bit.Trip FATE worth buying, IMO.

Yeah, I've been thinking about checking out Fluidity for a while now, but it hasn't been so enticing that I've felt any compulsion to stop playing what I'm currently playing and turn the Wii on...especially since the demo might have been pulled by now.

Apparently the kisses game is about a girl (Pucca) will do whatever it takes to kiss Garu, a ninja who doesn't have any desire to kiss her (this is right in the official press release). Nintendo calls it a "interactive cartoon", whatever that means. I guess the game has not sold well in Europe if they cut the price in half for North America.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: Crimm on February 14, 2011, 01:15:04 PM
Pucca is a brand. It's possible it has more exposure in Europe, or the license holder there wanted more money.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 14, 2011, 01:50:44 PM
Really? I didn't know that. I assumed it was a lack of sales because that has been the case in the past with a WiiWare game getting discounted in another region. I guess part of the reason I never heard of it is because the show airs on Jetix (a channel I don't get). Apparently Disney owns it, so I wonder why it doesn't get a bigger push here unless they don't think it would do well.

I think you are joking. If not (or if anyone here doesn't know), someone from Tons of Bits confirmed that third parties can suggest prices for WiiWare games but Nintendo makes the final decision.

There's a Pucca show? I thought that was just a brand like Hello Kitty that gets put on clothes, accessories, etc.
The impression I get with that price system is that the dev pretty much gets to decide, Nintendo only interfere if they feel that the dev's price is bad (so low that it causes an app store style price crash or so high that it's stupid).

I never understood what was so special about Faxanadu.
Some of the games with WiiWare demos are really bad. They would have a better chance of people buying them if they didn't know what they were getting into.

EDIT: Considering every other region got Final Fantasy VI (III outside Japan) this week, this week's NA lineup is pretty disappointing.

Post by: TJ Spyke on March 14, 2011, 03:28:23 PM
We will probably get Final Fantasy III/VI next week (it's III everywhere but Japan. not just the US). Yeah, PVZ is the only game this week I would consider getting.

I think Natsume Championship Wrestling is already confirmed for 3/21, so it's either a 2 VC week or we won't see FFVI until April.
Also, is the DSi version of Plants vs Zombies getting a separate review?
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 14, 2011, 05:49:25 PM
You are right about NCW. Hmm, that would be nice to get 2 VC games next week, but I don't think that will happen either.

Wait, DSi got a version of plants versus zombies?
Is it any different from the retail edition? I'd much rather have a D/L version that a retail copy.
Title: Re: Nintendo Download Games by Region
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 15, 2011, 12:27:29 PM
Same here. If it is the exact same game, I would rather just buy the DSiWare version.

Post by: Stratos on March 16, 2011, 12:17:24 AM
I'm gonna take the risk. I'll get the DSi version tonight and let you guys know about it. It's just more worthwhile to to get for 800 points even if it is missing some features. So long as the core game and all the units are there I don't care about the rest.

Read the Nintendo life review for the differences. But to summarize, the DSiWare version has an exclusive mini-game called Zombie Trap but the Survival and Vs. modes are stripped out. There is some slow down in both the retail and DSiWare versions but most of the slowdown happens if there is a lot going on which predominantly happens in survival mode.

Three games were announced for the Japanese Virtual Console in April: - King of the Monsters 2 (NeoGeo, 900pts) - Mega Man X (Super Nintendo, 800pts) and... - CHRONO TRIGGER~!! (Super Nintendo, 900 pts)
Since Chrono Trigger is the greatest game of all time, if you don't buy it on the inevitable North American/EU release we can no longer be friends.

These had better get announced for North America. :@

Holy eff! Virtual Console lives!! I already own Mega Man X and Chrono Trigger, but if titles like these are making their way onto the service, it's good news for everybody.
Maybe WiiWare will get it's crap together, too? That River City Ransom sequel is a start. Seems like I've been waiting forever for La Mulana.
These had better get announced for North America. :@
I have to believe that every Japanese Virtual Console game which already has a translated counterpart will eventually see release in other regions. I mean, at that point they might as well make their product available to more customers. And if they already have it up and running on the Japanese service, it can't be that hard to code it for other regions. Hold on to hope!

I already own it on the DS. But I'm all over the Mega Man X game.
I got Plants VS Zombies for DSiWare and I love it to death. It seems to be pretty close to the full game. Of course it has slightly rougher graphics and there is some slowdown when a lot of zombies are on screen but it's the same fun game overall. I've only played on a friends smartphone and the PC demo so I'm not sure if it is missing anything but if it's a great portable option for non-smartphone gamers.

I hope that comes to Europe soon, now that I've passed my DSi down to my mother she wants to get PvZ on it.
