Tank! Tank! Tank! is a poor attempt at a freemium model game. You don't have access to Story Mode, and you only have access to 3 out of 4 of the multiplayer modes.  I don't know how much it cost to unlock them, but considering the game doesn't tell me this until I've made a character name and took two pictures of my face to be used in the game before telling me I can't play it.  I just deleted it. 

Just like Zen Pinball 2, the DLC on Wii U is too much of a pain to deal with for microtransactions.

Pac-Man?!  Pac-Man?!?!?!  Yeah, screw you too NOA.

I love Tank Tank Tank. Give it a try!!!

Ugh. Thanks for nothing Nintendo.  RELEASE SOMETHING NEW F@CKING CHRIST!

it's worth noting that all 10 ambassador nes games are now available to the general public, i see a lack of gb/gbc in that area...

Nintendo has already said numerous times that they have no plans to release Game Boy Advance games to non-Ambassadors. I don't get why anybody thinks it is gonna happen, they have never even hinted it will happen.

i mean gameboy/gbc games, 2 nes games and 0 gb games this month, you see a problem? i do...

It's the first Nintendo Download of the month. So, no, I don't see a problem. I do think they can add more Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, but i'm not worried.

I'm going to download Tank! Tank! Tank! just to see if I get some Club Nintendo coins.

it's a handheld virtual console, i think we should focus more on handheld games then nes games... it has been a trend

Put part of the blame on third parties, they are the ones in develop the VC versions. Also, part of it is based on games that will sell.

Yeah! F**K YOU NINTENDO FOR PUTTING STUFF ON SALE FOR A REASONABLE DISCOUNT!

Somewhat intrigued by Dillon's Rolling Western.  Is it worth paying $6.99 even though a sequel exists for it?

There is a demo. i think.

I didn't liked it

Tank tank tank is dumb one note game but its pretty fun . I might pick up some DLC

Because they'd be really stupid not to do it. I mean I guess putting them on Wii U is okay but I'd much rather have GBA games on 3DS. Plus it's not like Nintendo hasn't ever gone back on their word after they said they weren't going to do something.

The thing is, they've never said that they weren't going to do it.  Just that there were "no plans".  You know, I have "no plans" for dinner over the course of the next month.  I guess I'm just not going to eat dinner ever again.

Hasn't this discussion happened before, almost verbatim?  Or am I suffering from TJ Spyke deja vu?

We have. And UB, the thing is that Nintendo has never changed their stance on this for the last 2 years. How long before you admit that GBA games won't be coming?

We'll admit GBA games aren't coming when the 4DS comes out.

Didn't they say "no plans" for a Wii Sports sequel for a long time?

Whatever Nintendo says to the contrary, there's no way they're going to throw away the money they could have made on those GBA Ambassador games. It makes no financial sense to NOT sell some of your most popular GBA games to what is a substantially larger audience now.  The games will come eventually, just as Earthbound eventually came despite Nintendo saying for decades that they had "no plans" to re-release it.

On a happier note, Rising Board 3D is on sale this week despite not being listed above or on the 3DS eShop sales page.


$1.50 for a silly fun little game that allows you to be a surfing penguin pulling off ridiculous stunts? I'm on board with that.

Except Nintendo has expressed interest in releasing EB before, they have not given any indication that they will change their mind on GBA. If they wanted to do it, I think they would have done it by now since they would be making a ton of money from it.


I wonder why Nintendo didn't mention that on the list with the other sales?

Like I said, though, it makes no financial sense. These are VC releases already ready to go, and Nintendo's in some well-deserved trouble right now with the shareholders.  If I'm a Nintendo shareholder, and I see that the company is deliberately sitting on an opportunity to make money off work they've already done with the company in the state it's in now, I have to question Iwata's competency and whether he should remain in charge of Nintendo.

Nintendo might just sit on those games because they're Nintendo and they frequently do stupid things, but there's no logical reason why they should.  That's why I've said those games are eventually coming in one way or another.

You mean the same idiot shareholders who said Nintendo should start releasing iOS games?

I do think they should release GBA games on the 3DS, but there has not been any indication it's gonna happen. Until it does, I think it's silly to act like it's gonna.

Yeah the ambassador gba games are not ready to be sold to the general public they were literally roms i mean you can't even use  sleep mode there

*yawn*

I think it's silly to act like it's not going to. It makes sense on every level. It makes them money and would be praised by just about everyone. Nintendo has a history of saying they have no plans right up until they decide to announce it. There is no subtlety to Nintendo PR, only ON and OFF. Nintendo would be unbelievably stupid not to put these games on there, and it's irrational to believe there is a real chance that they won't.
