NintendoLife: Kirby's Pinball Land Review

NintendoLife: While primarily known as the star of a reliably charming series of platformers, Kirby has also starred in a fair share of spin-offs. One of those, Kirby's Block Ball, came to the eShop just a few months ago. It's a flawed but fun reimagining of Breakout. It plays to the strengths of both Breakout as a template and Kirby as a character, with each of these two otherwise disparate icons of gaming coming together to elevate the experience into something special and memorable.

Ugh why can't Super Metroid be available for the 3DS!? Man Nintendo are so damn slow in bringing SNES/GBA games to the handheld... Not even sure if they'll EVER do it. :\

PopRocks3594045d ago (Edited 4045d ago )

Have they started putting SNES games onto the 3DS yet? I'm pretty certain its VC only supports GB, GBC, NES and Game Gear. Plus Super Metroid is going to be part of the Wii U's VC $.30 promotion.

I happen to be a 3DS Ambassador. The twenty games included were ten NES games (almost all of which are now on the VC, if not all of them) and ten GBA games which were announced early on to have "no plans to be released to the general public."

So GBA games are not really on the VC, the GBA games were simply part of the Ambassador program. And I don't really know how to answer your question, sadly.

They probably could do it, but I think they may wind up releasing GBA games on the Wii U first. I'm pretty sure they announced handheld platforms for the Wii U's VC. It makes no sense to me either.

Snookies124045d ago

No, they haven't bought any SNES/GBA games to the 3DS yet. If the VC only supports GB, GBC, NES, and Game Gear, why did the Ambassador program people get Metroid Fusion for 3DS? If it's possible to run the dang thing on a 3DS, why don't they put it up for sale?

"I'm pretty certain its VC only supports GB, GBC, NES and Game Gear"

True, but does it need to be that way? The 3DS can handle Ocarina of Time, why can't it handle Super Metroid?

delboy4044d ago

Just wanna know how much is 200 coins in real money?
Are they ripping people like Sony dose?
