Keen and professional gamers luckily enough to be visiting Cologne this week will have already tried out Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! and Pilotwings at GamesCom. Now the rest of you can join in as both games arrive in style, for Nintendo DSiWare and Virtual Console respectively.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "“I don’t often see Mario VS. Donkey Kong get a lot of love which is a shame because it really deserves it. “"
Negative World says: "We’ve done practically every other Nintendo franchise with at least 10 entries at this point (actually probably not even close, but whatever), it’s time for Donkey Kong! One of Nintendo’s oldest living franchises, Donkey Kong is still cranking out the hits. Sure, the franchise spawned the Super Mario games, which went on to become much more successful than the Donkey Kong games ever did, but don’t write off the big ape! There are many great Donkey Kong games in the Nintendo library to check out, maybe even more than you realize!"
This article gets it. So many people don't realize or don't want to realize that the Super Mario franchise is a spinoff from the Donkey Kong franchise.
Doesn't include "Donkey Kong Jr." It has fun vine-climbing mechanics and makes Mario the villain!
The #3 game on the list "Donkey Kong Country Returns" is ported to the 3DS and is excellent if you like the series. Come to think of it, DKJr is also on the 3DS (virtual console) and is on sale this week.
Hardcore Gamer: If you love the Bit.Trip games, but haven't yet been able to get their OSTs, then the newest Game Music bundle is for you. $1 or more gets you the OSTs for Bit.Trip Beat, Bit.Trip Runner, Bit.Trip Core, Bit.Trip Fate, Bit.Trip Void, and Bit.Trip Flux.
Probably the best update ever for Europe. Especially with the DSiware, so soon after Flipnote Studio as well!
I would hope they keep up the quality but it's doubtful that it will happen.
pilotwings FINALLY!
Both Pop Plus Solo and Mario vs DK: Minis March Again are awesome! The DSiware rules! now I just need Mighty Flip Champs and Dragon Quest Wars!
