I know it's in the OP to not ask about about system releases for the 3DS eShop, but I really hope they eventually put Sega Genesis games on the eShop soon. It's pretty sad when Steam has a huge variety of old Sega games for sale and a handheld boasting a library of old console games doesn't.

I know it's still relatively new but come on, Nintendo. I don't want to play Light Crusader or Phantasy Star on PC.

I agree with you. If they added Genesis (or SNES or GBA) games, I would be buying a lot more vc games.

Hell, I always buy the Sega Genesis Collection releases on the consoles. I had it on PS2, PS3, AND PSP. There's not usually much of a difference but Genesis had some really solid RPG and action titles. Makes me sad that Nintendo is just farting around with their meager VC offerings.

I do not understand Flower Town at all... It's just I can't understand how this is even a game.

With the help of friends I managed to make something that looks like weed with pretty white flowers. That is the point of the game.

It actually has some sort of systems to it. The objective is to have attained every type of flower (and every color flower within those flowers). To do this, you will StreetPass people to collect seeds which can mingle with your flower. Your flower can only produce so many seeds before you have to start a new one. So you can try to accomplish flowers solely by StreetPassing, or by selling seeds you won't need, to make money to buy seeds (I think? Didn't actually check if seeds are for sale) you will use. You can also spend your money on decorative poo poo but I don't know what that all does yet!

So basically there's a surprising amount to it. It's just not as overt a game as Mii Force and Haunted whatever are. (Haunted whatever is legit one of my favorites though. I like goofy room poo poo.)

Yo PAL Wii U dudes, I'm reading that motherfucking EARTHBOUND is up on the eShop now, with no warning whatsoever. Anyone wanna confirm/deny? It might not be "public" just yet, you may have to search for it.

Being optimistic, its slipping in there could be an indicator that it's not too far away, though. Or maybe someone just hates us.

Man, Shantae and Earthbound would've been an amazing one-two punch of a VC week.

e: So, uh.

Huh. Still not up here in Australia though.

I like that they made it more expensive than other SNES VC games. That's kind of bs.

The NA eShop generally doesn't update until a few hours after the press release, so I doubt it'll be live just yet.

Yeah, I thought so too, but from the looks of things it's an online guide that's been optimised for the Gamepad. No idea if they've actually configured it to let you browse the guide while you play... probably not.

I like how even the online version's cover has just a BIT of grime from wear and use on it. There doesn't exist a single copy of this guide that hasn't been used heavily.
