Gurumin 3D is out on the 3DS eShop today in North America. I've mentioned it in the Falcom thread, but if you like Zelda or just cute action-adventure games, I would encourage you to check it out. It has a very "Dreamcast"-like charm to it (it originally came out in Japan in 2004).
Here's the extended launch trailer:

I'd be interested if there's a Japanese version. I don't have an American Nintendo Account to date (although I do have an NA 3DS), nor am I interested to buy anything from Nintendo of America ever again.

Gurumin 3D is out on the 3DS eShop today in North America. There's also a free 3DS theme for buying it a launch as well. nor am I interested to buy anything from Nintendo of America ever again. Story? Is it their lack care when it comes to translation? Meanwhile the European eShop will be have Halloween sales on spooky themed games like Zombi U, Fatal Frame 5, etc and VC games like Majora's Mask, Devil World (has to be a first) Castlevania, Ghouls N Ghosts, etc. There's also going to discounts on other games like Gunman Clive (3DS and Wii U versions). Nintendo Life has the full list.Fatal Frame 2 Wii Edition also gets released this week. And to round it out the Pokemon Sun & Moon demo will also be released this week. |

nor am I interested to buy anything from Nintendo of America ever again. Story? Is it their lack care when it comes to translation? A few reasons, really. NOA translations have been rather unstable. Sometimes they're of good quality ( SPM and FE10 had some funny text for example), but I've also seen naming inconsistencies ( Sephiran is the Duke of what?), outright mistranslations (NOA, why did you call it Main Canon #2? Where did you find "number 2" in the original name?), and perhaps worst, including Internet fads in the games. But the bigger reason here is region locking. On the DS I'd pick the language version depending on the series (NA for Metroid, Japanese for Kirby, etc.), but I don't think it's a wise idea to keep buying multiple units of the same system. My top two favourite series are Fire Emblem and Kirby, both Japanese-styled series, and I also have a tendency to pick Japan-only games, so the choice is obvious. I have both versions of 3DS, but that's an exceptional case (I couldn't buy a Japanese 3DS at the time). |

The original Wii game Lost in Shadow is now out on the eShop in North America.
It's like Nintendo is deliberately picking the major hidden gems on the original Wii and putting them on the eShop to give them a second chance. Although the Wii U probably won't increase their exposure much, kudos to Nintendo for taking this approach.
Also, Gurumin 3D is now out on the 3DS in Europe.

Butterfly: Inchworm Animation II was released in the 3DS in NA last week and should be released in PAL regions shortly. For anyone that liked Flipnote Studio (or didn't get it in time) This looks like a good (and possibly better alternative). Also it's the final week for the Halloween sale, so get buying if you haven't. I'm probably get Gunman Clive and possibly Gargoyles Quest (and maybe it's sequel). Which of the the Castlevania VC games are worth buying? 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . GO!F-Zero X comes speeding to the PAL VC this week and it's the 60Hz NA version! (Unlike the Wii version which ran at 50Hz and can be compared to the 60Hz version by watching this)Trailer. |

The Wii version of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is now out in North America.
How is this version of the game? Worth playing without the bongos?

I think it's great, but I never played the GCN version.

This week, North America gets Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (why didn't this come out before Halloween?) and Rhythm Heaven Fever.
Man, all these Wii hidden gems that I'll never get around to downloading.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (why didn't this come out before Halloween?) That is weird. Maybe they didn't want it to be associated with the other "spooky" games which were on sale at the time? Also any one picking up (Wii U) F-Zero X should have concerns over the in game controls being very poor. As mentioned on Miiverse and this article www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/11/soapbox_captain_falcon_we_have_a_problem_with_f-zero_x_on_wii_uHas anyone else had a problem with N64 games on the Wii U? I know Star Fox 64 certainly felt different. Meaning for North America (and also slightly worrying with the previous info) EXCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE . . . BIKE . . . SIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXTY FOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR on the eShop! Never been re-released before that. And also Wario Land: Shake It. |

So they didn't forget about Excitebike 64, after all.
I wonder if they'll bring this to Japan, like they did with many region-specific titles before.

Excitebike 64 raced onto the PAL eShop last week and now in NA this week more EXCITE!
Excitebots: Trick Racing gets released on the eShop, will this still NA exclusive (and Japan Club Nintendo only title) see a wider digital release?
Other title included over the past two weeks for NA are Metroid: Other M and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. While PAL gets Pikmin 2.
Also Super Mario Run is released on iOS.

Star Fox 64 was released last week in NA.
Europe will get Butterfly: Inchworm Animation II this week, there is a trailer for it on this page.
NoE is also holding a Zelda sale for My Nintendo members, they can get 30% off the entire Zelda series including Hyrule Warriors DLC. 50% off My Nintendo Zelda Home Menu themes. And will also finally release the My Nintendo Zelda rewards of The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary Theme and The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary orchestra videos (that have already been available in the US for a while).

TANK TROOPERS RELEASES FOR THE WEST TODAY! The background music for the following trailer sounds pretty cool. Though it's sad to hear it doesn't have online multiplayer. What's even stranger is that Vitel have develop this game and yet their last game the F2P Steel Diver: Sub Wars had online multiplayer. This feels like a game that would have been better off at the start of the 3DS's lifespan than now. But I will say that the character designs and abilities look cool.

Harvest Moon 64 is coming to the VC for both Europe and NA this week! This game was never released in Europe originally and was said to have had issues preventing it from being released on the Wii's VC service, so hearing that it's getting a release now is very unexpected.
forma.8 from the Nindies@Home 2015 series is finally getting released on Friday for Europe.
Vaccine is 90's inspired survival horror title that looks like Resident Evil, but has its own interesting design choices. This is from the same developer that made the platformer FreezeME.

I enjoyed it, even though some may say it is a little dated.
