Public Service Announcement: Capcom's short-lived, crazy sale of Resident Evil (& Monster Hunter & Ace Attorney & Mega Man & Street Fighter) games on the WiiU & 3DS eShop from March is back until May 15th. The WiiU version of Resident Evil: Revelations (usually goes for $40) is going for $10 and both the 3DS version of Resident Evil: Revelations and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries (usually goes for $20) are going for $2 each in this sale. (That's not a typo; the 3DS versions are 90% off. I think you can't even get two candy bars in the US for two dollars!) I appreciate that you put the song titles that you use in this video, due to you introducing me to the "Castle Town" song from The Mysterious Murasame Castle. Damn, that song is good!!! Also, thank you for possibly being the one to direct me to Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, Stella Glow and Liberation Maiden in your previous videos. If you weren't the first to tell me about them, I'm pretty sure you're the one to get me to remember them. You were among several who got me to get Affordable Space Adventures. I like your commentary about up on the directional pad for jumping only being for fighting games hahaha. 'Eyy! Your favorite Zelda game is Majora's Mask, too?! :D Majora's Mask means a lot to me due to it helping me grow in a sense, so it's currently my third favorite game of all time. (My favorite game is Splatoon 1 and my second favorite game is Resident Evil 4, due to each of them helping me grow, as well.) Huh, I scooped up Spirit Tracks this morning, but passed on Phantom Hourglass due to feeling sated from watching a good Let's Play and listening to reviews and retrospective analysis videos mostly saying "it's similar to Spirit Tracks, but not as good," but now you have me wondering if I should pick up Phantom Hourglass, since it's only $10. Jeez, I'm angry at Nintendo and the other relevant companies for not putting The Last Story (Wii), Pokemon HeartGold (DS), Okamiden (DS), Deadly Creatures (Wii), 999/ Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (DS), The World Ends With You (DS) and Ghost Trick (DS) on the eShop, unless I just missed them, which is a distinct possibility since I failed to find several games that were on the eShop, like Photo Dojo and Spirit Tracks on my initial searches (I'm quite new to the eShop and only got my 3DS in March). (I'm leaving a Comment in part due to you asking for it and to help boost your video in the RUclips algorithm.) Thank you for these videos! I hope you have a grand time playing Chasing Aurora with your Aurora in the future!
+Lumppii Yup, they do. Sorry to everyone for forgetting to mention those, as well. Also, Mega Man and Street Fighter, so Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Ace Attorney, Mega Man and Street Fighter.
@chaowalker. No worries! As high school kids once said "we're all in this together." lol......I'm gonna have to see if the Capcom Zelda games are on sale... doubt it, but hoping
Thanks for this coment, chaowalker! I have been working on a video to cover this exact same sale from Capcom, as well as a few games from Square Enix and a bunch of other smaller publishers. Im uploading the video in a few hours, if everything goes well. Thanks for watching!
I just wanna say, the 3ds did have GBA games, if you were an early adopter of the 3ds you were an ambassador and got like 12 free games 6 or something of which being GBA games that have never been put on the 3ds eshop theyre only available for ambassadors.
Right, I forgot to include that on the script, but I added a text in the video while editing ;D. I wish I was an ambassador, but it took me a while to afford a 3DS back then. I had just started working as an intern when they released the system. Thanks for watching mamodokod! Stay tuned for more virtual console / 3DS Wii U coverage soon!
Me too. And in case of the GBA, they had many games ready to release, which they only did to the ambassadors of the 3DS, it was just a matter of pushing a button. And many more GBA games could have been ported over too since the emulator or whatever was ready. Only Nintendo. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Great collection! It's so weird they never put GBA and DS games on 3DS... GBA games run fine of the system, Nintendo even gave several games away as part of the 3DS Ambassador program. Also, you're the first person who is positive about Sonic Labyrinth haha
Yeah, so weird that they never released any GBA games on 3DS for everyone else. I mean, 5 years after the ambassodor program, no one would care right, it would have been a win for all sides. Nintendo is weird. People dislike Sonic Labyrinth? Lol, I had a blast dude! Played almost the entire way through in one sitting. Its weird, but it aged well. Thanks for watching makreel! New video coming in an hour or so :D
The GBA games in the Ambassador program are not emulated, the 3DS has to boot in DS and from there in GBA mode. There are no save states, the games keep running (draining the battery) when you close the system and you have to close the game to get to the 3DS menu again. The picture quality isn't great as well. I can't imagine Nintendo would have sold these for money. DS games on the other hand can only be booted from the small amount of internal memory available and not from the SD card. They probably would have sold some of them, if that weren't the case, but for this reason the only one ever made available is Wario Ware Touched (which doesn't need much space).
One thing he is “pointing out” is the WiiU outputs analog. So you can connect to a CRT and play virtual console games in their original aspect ratios. Some even do 240p
Hi, thanks again for all your hard labour poured into your videos. This is such important work, especially, as the eShop is notoriously short on information on the games offered.
Another excellent video, very helpful! Lots of good stuff in here, and it's unfortunate I probably won't be able to afford everything I want before it's all over. But such is life, I guess I'll have to pick and choose. I should mention though that the entry on Sonic Labyrinth looks like it could trigger photosensitive seizures with all the flashing. Older games sometimes have that sort of thing. If possible, I'd recommend adding some kind of annotation to the video shortly before Sonic Labyrinth with a timestamp to skip to for anyone that might be affected. Anyway, thanks again for all your hard work cataloguing this stuff for us!
Yeah, I'm certainly spending way more than I wanted on all these. Luckily I already had many of those in the Mini systems (Mini SNES, NES and Turbografx), so I could safely save some money on all of those, but there are several that I still have to get. True, that part in Sonic Labyrinth is flashing hard. Ill try adding a card on the topscreen. Thanks for pointing this out, CitrusFury!
What games are in your intro video? There are a few cool ones I don't recognize. An old jrpg with two groups facing each other [grey soldiers against group of heroes], a side-scrolling looking metroidvania game with an enemy called "Griffon" being attacked by the hero with an axe, and the high res vid of the girl in white splashing the soldiers with blood. Maybe a video on these games? Anyone else know the titles? I'd love to get a full list if possible. Thanks for the content.
Hi Jamesman! Sure, here goes: An old jrpg with two groups facing each other [grey soldiers against group of heroes]: That's from *Suikoden 2*. Absolute marvelous JRPG. Covered it a long time ago on this video: ruclips.net/video/w6mhjqI6EEc/видео.html a side-scrolling looking metroidvania game with an enemy called "Griffon" being attacked by the hero with an axe: This one is from Record of Lodoss War, brilliant Metroidvania. I did a review on this one: ruclips.net/video/8jbDFqUNv-o/видео.html and the high res vid of the girl in white splashing the soldiers with blood: that's Drakegard 3, one of the best CG cutscenes ever made :D I covered it here: ruclips.net/video/VmLiM7_Ur_I/видео.html As for a full list, here are all the games in the intro song in order: Hollow Knight, Katana Zero, Dandara, Silence (girl flying at night), SMT Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzonoha vs the Souless Army, GRIS, Time and Eternity, Luftrausers (shmup), Record of Lodoss War Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, Suikoden 2, Alwa's Awakening, Muramasa Rebirth, Drakengard 3, Battle Chef Brigade, My Friend Pedro, Ape Out, The Messenger, Hard Corps Uprising, Yakuza Dead Souls (explosion), Fist of the North Star (other explosion), Celeste, Chrono Cross, back to Hollow Knight. Cheers!
Solid job as always! I'm both - looking forward and not lookinh forward to your video about PS3 store closing in the future. You are going to have your hands full when that time comes. A couple part series for sure.
Thanks Martinez! Yeah, for sure. I am already preparing for it. I will probably make a big video mashing together the lists I already made, redoing the voice over cause back then I had a bad setup, and making some new lists too. Thanks for watching dude, new video coming out today covering another 3DS sale.
I followed a link off Reddit and I enjoyed this video. As an old school Sega fanboy, thank you for mentioning the Game Gear games. They tend to get forgotten by many gamers, and there are some gems of the 3DS virtual console.
This video was an absolute masterpiece. Enough said. ;) But really, I've been looking to make a list and make sure I grab any interesting Wii U/3DS games I could miss out and your lists have been the best at finding hidden gems! Great job and thank you!
Thank you so much, dreampillet! Glad these videos are being helpful to you! I will still make a good number of them. Next one will be focused on DLCs, then more Virtual Console and later a DSiWare focused video. Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment here, appreciate it!
@@FromTheVoidGames Awesome! If you plan on listing any more 3DS games, one series you haven't mentioned is the Style Savvy games. They're fashion/dressup games so not everyone would be interested in them but they're among the best in the genre and the latter two are becoming difficult to get in North America as the third game is extremely rare and the fourth one is an eShop exclusive on the region!
Glad you think so, Dualsport Hooligan. I am really enjoying doing these :D. Will keep covering the eshop until the closure, interspersed with other content. Thanks for watching and takng the time to leave this comment!
Emulators help with games from older devices. Things like from Snes, Nes, GameCube, and Gameboy (all). Not my fault they don't make sure these games can be transferred to the newer devices. I aint paying for them again.
I started Fire Emblem on the GBA after playing Super Smash Bros Melee, quickly knew right away that Roy was the son of GBA Red Haired Hero and Lyn the Green Haired Heroine. Had to read all about Marth's bio to realize that he was originally from a really OLD Fire Emblem game and later on when Awakening was released on the 3DS I had a vague idea who the characters were at that point in time. Fire Emblem always has a place in my heart, but would always want the Japanese version because you can't trust American Localizers to do their proper job.
Fire Emblem is an amazing series. I still have so many of them to play yet, but all 5 i've played so far were top notch. I can't read japanese, though I have the desire to learn. Hopefuly one day I will, and then Ill play all these games in their original versions. That woud be so cool :D Thanks for watching TBoneTony!
Thank you so much, moonJuice! Glad you are enjoying and finding out about some hidden gems! Yes it was the hardest one so far for sure. The planning part alone took half a week, lol. But I am happy with the result and people seem to be as well. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I've heard! Hope they are good, and better priced than the Silver Falls 3D horror game, cause that is like 25 bucks and not very good for that price. But Im certainly interested in them and will close look, very likely that I will make a video on them too. Thanks for watching JESmith!
When you realise that you own 90%-ish of the games on the video. Anyway, excellent video, Void. Some of the titles others have mentioned as not being released in Europe, like Car Battler and Klonoa 2, I was lucky enough to get on cartridge before prices skyrocketed. I'm missing a few of the "bad" PC Engine games like China Warrior, Double Dungeons and the boxing and Pool games. Might still pick a few of them up before the end though. I also only have four of the Game Gear Games - Defenders/Shining Force II/Shinobi/Tails - I already own Sonic 8BIT and Vampire on the Master System, which don't suffer as much screen crunch, so you to see more than two feet in front of you. I might grab Crystal and the Sonic GG exclusive games. Japan has a few VC gems of the 3DS eShop that the west never received for whatever reasons, including all the Famicom and Super Famicom Final Fantasises (I - VI), and the Famicom War and Fire Emblem 8/16BIT games. Also fun action and easy to pick up platformers like Antarctic Adventure, Bubble Bobble, Bio-Miracle Bokutte Upa, and the Game Boy version of Twinbee Da!. I would recommend getting the Mega Man Game Boy games, as well as consider getting the Mega Man Battle Network series. Although I do wonder if Capcom will at some point release a compilation of either in the future. I'm surprised they released Necromancer outside of Japan, given the language barrier of entry. Like you say, most people aren't going to read the small "requires proficiency in the Japanese Language" part. Could really have done with an additional pop-up warning before purchasing.
Wow, you seem to have a great collection, starlac! I went into your channel and saw your pickups from 2010. You picked up some great hidden gem Xbox original and PS2 games there (some of them climbed ridiculously in prices, such as Stubbs, the two Otogi games and Drakengard), you clearly got a good eye for games, mate! The GBA is one big hole in my collection, I don't own a single game for it. I really wanted to collect GBA games physically, but I had to force some limits onto myself otherwise I'd go broke. The Saturn is another that I wish I could collect for. And now with games prices the way they are, Im likelely never building a collection for those 2 systems, lol. Good to know about the Master System version of Vampire Master of Darkness. Ill see if I can find a copy since here in Brazil Master System games can still be found for cheap. Fun fact, Sonic Blast also has a Master System version, but apparently only released here in Brazil, lol. Dude, I wish the 3DS was not region locked and we could use a japanese account on it and get those cool games you mentioned. On the next uploads I will certainly feature the Mega Man games you suggested. I wanted to include the Battle Network games on this first one, but there are so many that I decided to postpone. Thanks for watching and leving this comment!
When I was a kid, I never had a SNES, only was able to have a old GameBoy that was new at the time. Donkey Kong Land games were the closest I ever got to a SNES experience on the old classic handheld and I believe DK Land 2 holds up to being the best and almost as good as the original DKC2 game on the SNES. As long as you understand the limitations of the GameBoy compared to the SNES, it's still great fun to play but of course, always play this game after the SNES version so you can appreciate what RARE could get out of the limited hardware they had to work around with.
Awesome. I did not play the DK Land games as a kid, so it took me decades to learn that they were really great games, despite the handhelds limitations. Thanks for sharing Tony! Stay tuned for more in this series of videos soon!
I would probably grab more VC games if they’d go on sale 😅. I’ve picked up quite a bit of the Mega Man VC titles for 3DS, and am currently looking at Super Mario Land 1 + 2 on 3DS and the three FE games and Super Mario Advance 4 for Wii U.
Yeah, sadly I don't think Nintendo has ever made a sale of Virtual Console games... I can't say I've ever know about one. Great picks! The Super Mario Lands and the GBA remasters of the classics are all great and worth having. I also have to pick those up still. Thanks for watching Tylorian.
@@FromTheVoidGames IIRC The only time VC games went on "sale" were through A) A promotion that VC had on the Wii U early in its life, where you could buy select games like Super Metroid for 30¢/30p. Then for most of its life, via limited timed discounts you could "buy" at Club Nintendo with Platinum and Gold coins. Like spend 250 Platinum/Gold Coins for 30% off of *Insert VC Game Here*. Sadly, Nintendo stopped doing them a while ago.
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks both have mods that allow for D-Pad controls rather than stylus; many people seem to think this makes the games much more enjoyable :)
These I knew about, :D, and actually the gameplay of Spirit Tracks you see in this video is from the modded rom with the D-pad controls, lol. Thanks for leaving these comments!
Yeah, I didnt have the Wii, but when I saw all the games that we lost once the Wii digital sore closed, which was the first time something like this happened, it was an eye opener for sure. Have been preparing for the inevitability of other digital stores closing since then. Thanks for watching ozzy! Stay tuned for more on this series soon!
Not all games have cartridges though, next month will be the biggest loss of games in history so far. I can see some of them actually being lost forever.
Totally, those guys are awesome. They also made the Golf and Tennis Mario games that mix RPG into the gameplay, pretty cool. They are still around too, but less on the spotlight I think. Thanks for watching Joe!
And another good video, and I found a number of games that I either need to get or double check I have them, so many that I had to write down the series, not the games, there are some titles that would be redundant, for instance I own the 3ds remakes of the n64 Zelda titles, and I prefer my ds games on hardware so those I'll still look for physical versions of, but I am impressed with the effort for this vid.
Right, there is a lot of redundancy. I actually lucked out with this video cause I have the Turbografx Mini, so I didnt have to buy almost any of the Turbografx games on virtual console. Thanks fenni ken, glad you enjoyed the video!
With regards to Metroid Other M there is a mod for it that fixes a LOT of the issues that it came with: Other M Maxximum Edition. I haven't played it all the way through but the biggest issue I had was that the subtitles weren't updated to reflect the story changes so it can be jarring otherwise it's a considered a far better version to play through :)
They didnt give us an exact day yet, they only said late March 2023. HOWEVER, credit cards wont be usable anymore in both 3DS and Wii U this MAY 23rd. And Nintendo Gift cards wont be redeemable after August 29th this year. So after those dates, the only remaining option will be adding funds through your Switch account, as long as you link it to your 3DS / Wii U account. Hope this answers your question. Let me know if any doubts remain. Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames also your 1st two videos were a big inspiration to my spending habits lately... 😅 don't know if Summer Carnival '92: RECCA caught your eye, but it is a must have from the virtual console.
I you connect a Wii U on a RCT TV with the Wii video cable the Advance games looks amazing, also the "Dark" NES games looks fantastic on Wii U with a CRT TV, almost like a real NES. (I asume that the N64 games also look better and brighter with this conection but sadly I never try it.)
I had Drill Dozer and I loved playing it on my GBA advance player. The gamecube controller rumbles too. Sadly I sold it because I needed money. I did buy it on the Wii U because yeah the value went way up since I got it. I paid 20$ for it at the time.
Yeah, GBA games are expensive, almost all of them at this point. Plus it's a pain to avoid counterfeits, the biggest reason why I never got into collecting for this system, so this library of GBA games on Wii U is a blessing to me. Drill Dozer is fantastic, and this is where I played it for the first time :D. Thanks for watching, Jesse! Stay tuned for more on this series soon!
I always believe that Nintendo put GBA virtual consol games on Wii U to try to rise the number sales of the Wii U. Also I always wonder, Why never was a Virtual Boy section on the 3DS?, that was the "perfect" opportunity to bring back some lost games like Mario Clash or Wario land. I love Nintendo but result very hard not get tempted for emulation on the web. 😔 Is hard to try a pay "streaming" gaming model when your afraid of a full catalogue to offer.
Yeah, and it didn't work very well... nothing could save the Wii U, sadly. Virtual boy games would be awesome in a newer platform, I would love that. Am aching to play Wario Land and Mario Clash and a few others there.
Yeah, VC games on sale are very rare. did a quick research and found that most games were never discounted and a few were only once. so not betting there will be one before the stores close, but fingers crossed. Thanks for watching Nintendude! Stay tuned form more VC coverage soon!
oh God, I know... I changed things in my camera, and firmly believed I had found the issue and fixed it. Then when I extracted the video after filming the whole thing I saw that it was still 50fps. I will do some more research to find out what is going on for the next upload, I promisse. Sorry about that once again. Thanks for watching!
3:09 there is a gost controler behind you! It diappeared between edits and after that It went back 😜 I will get a 50 € card soon and Buy a bunch of stuf for the wii-u I Will certanly rewatch your vídeo for inspiration to get the best out of muy investment , by the way a big shoutout to the músic you used on this video, not only was It excelent you also went all the way and put the titles you perfectionist madman
LOL, yeah I noticed it too. Those are my headphones actually. Thanks man, glad you noticed the music. Its one of my favorite things to do on a video, including the game's music, there are so many cool ones. Thanks for watching, Dominic!
True, I was referring to Tails Skypatrol, which came before Tails Adventures, not a sequel. Thanks for pointing this out! Stay tuned for more Virtual Console coverage soon!
Yes, for sure the Rhythm Fever series will be on future videos. Yeah, both the Wii and DS games are crazy expensive, I bought the Wii version digitally. Thanks for watching!
I followed a link off Reddit and I enjoyed this video. As an old school Sega fanboy, thank you for mentioning the Game Gear games. They tend to get forgotten by many gamers, and there are some gems of the 3DS virtual console.
Cool, welcome to the channel, Caryslan! Yeah, Game Gear is largely overlooked, people have strong prejudice against it, which is a huge shame considering how great some of those games are. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more Virtual Console and other 3DS/Wii U coverage soon.
A modest but sincere thank you

Does Capcom also own Monster Hunter and Ace Attorney? Cause both of those series are also on sale for crazy good prices

Just found this channel today … what a gem! Thanks, and subbed.
Thanks for these. I'm compiling a nice little list so far of what to pick up before the closing. One month left, I think...
It really pisses me off that the 3DS eShop never got GBA games or the missing Zelda or Kirby DS titles.
Me too. And in case of the GBA, they had many games ready to release, which they only did to the ambassadors of the 3DS, it was just a matter of pushing a button. And many more GBA games could have been ported over too since the emulator or whatever was ready. Only Nintendo. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Shinobi for Game Gear (aka, The G.G. Shinobi) is another one to get. Very good game.
Great collection! It's so weird they never put GBA and DS games on 3DS... GBA games run fine of the system, Nintendo even gave several games away as part of the 3DS Ambassador program. Also, you're the first person who is positive about Sonic Labyrinth haha

54:49 isn’t that the same visual effect that got porygon banned from the pokemon anime?
Yes. Lol
as always, phenomenally presented and well researched. This channel is such a hidden gem.
thanks for the fantastic content.
Thank you so much, Nicholas! Glad you are enjoying!
DUDE WTF you are right. I thought this had to be a huge channel. Great summaries and even mini reviews without too much fluff.
54:47 - there should be an epilepsy warning there of some sort. I'm not even epileptic, yet it made mi dizzy @___@"
Hi, thanks again for all your hard labour poured into your videos.
This is such important work, especially, as the eShop is notoriously short on information on the games offered.
My pleasure, VedekSve! Yeah, a lot of people will miss the 3DS and Wii U digital stores and they don't even know it yet. Thanks for watching!
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3 has the extra e-Reader only levels added to it.
Saddest thing is some of these games have been delisted since you made these vids
Thank you so much for making these vids
Another excellent video, very helpful! Lots of good stuff in here, and it's unfortunate I probably won't be able to afford everything I want before it's all over. But such is life, I guess I'll have to pick and choose.
I should mention though that the entry on Sonic Labyrinth looks like it could trigger photosensitive seizures with all the flashing. Older games sometimes have that sort of thing. If possible, I'd recommend adding some kind of annotation to the video shortly before Sonic Labyrinth with a timestamp to skip to for anyone that might be affected.
Anyway, thanks again for all your hard work cataloguing this stuff for us!
Yeah, I'm certainly spending way more than I wanted on all these. Luckily I already had many of those in the Mini systems (Mini SNES, NES and Turbografx), so I could safely save some money on all of those, but there are several that I still have to get.

and the high res vid of the girl in white splashing the soldiers with blood: that's Drakegard 3, one of the best CG cutscenes ever made :D I covered it here: ruclips.net/video/VmLiM7_Ur_I/видео.html
As for a full list, here are all the games in the intro song in order: Hollow Knight, Katana Zero, Dandara, Silence (girl flying at night), SMT Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzonoha vs the Souless Army, GRIS, Time and Eternity, Luftrausers (shmup), Record of Lodoss War Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, Suikoden 2, Alwa's Awakening, Muramasa Rebirth, Drakengard 3, Battle Chef Brigade, My Friend Pedro, Ape Out, The Messenger, Hard Corps Uprising, Yakuza Dead Souls (explosion), Fist of the North Star (other explosion), Celeste, Chrono Cross, back to Hollow Knight. Cheers!
Oh man, thanks so much! That was awesome of you and saved me a tonne of work. Subscribed. @@FromTheVoidGames
Solid job as always! I'm both - looking forward and not lookinh forward to your video about PS3 store closing in the future. You are going to have your hands full when that time comes. A couple part series for sure.
Thanks Martinez! Yeah, for sure. I am already preparing for it. I will probably make a big video mashing together the lists I already made, redoing the voice over cause back then I had a bad setup, and making some new lists too. Thanks for watching dude, new video coming out today covering another 3DS sale.
I followed a link off Reddit and I enjoyed this video.
As an old school Sega fanboy, thank you for mentioning the Game Gear games.
They tend to get forgotten by many gamers, and there are some gems of the 3DS virtual console.
These videos are an incredible resource, thank you for all the hard work you are doing
My pleasure, Drew! Thanks for watching and leaving this comment :D
This video was an absolute masterpiece. Enough said. ;)
But really, I've been looking to make a list and make sure I grab any interesting Wii U/3DS games I could miss out and your lists have been the best at finding hidden gems! Great job and thank you!
Thank you so much, dreampillet! Glad these videos are being helpful to you! I will still make a good number of them. Next one will be focused on DLCs, then more Virtual Console and later a DSiWare focused video. Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment here, appreciate it!
@@FromTheVoidGames Awesome!
If you plan on listing any more 3DS games, one series you haven't mentioned is the Style Savvy games. They're fashion/dressup games so not everyone would be interested in them but they're among the best in the genre and the latter two are becoming difficult to get in North America as the third game is extremely rare and the fourth one is an eShop exclusive on the region!
Amazing job you did here. There’s some games on your list that I never knew or heard about. Thank you for an amazing video. 👍👍
My pleasure, Ignacio! Thanks for watching and leaving this comment!
Your content is a few steps ahead of the rest! Fantastic quality and very informative. Thanks for making these awesome videos.
Glad you think so, Dualsport Hooligan. I am really enjoying doing these :D. Will keep covering the eshop until the closure, interspersed with other content. Thanks for watching and takng the time to leave this comment!
Emulators help with games from older devices. Things like from Snes, Nes, GameCube, and Gameboy (all).
Not my fault they don't make sure these games can be transferred to the newer devices. I aint paying for them again.
I started Fire Emblem on the GBA after playing Super Smash Bros Melee, quickly knew right away that Roy was the son of GBA Red Haired Hero and Lyn the Green Haired Heroine.
Had to read all about Marth's bio to realize that he was originally from a really OLD Fire Emblem game and later on when Awakening was released on the 3DS I had a vague idea who the characters were at that point in time.
Fire Emblem always has a place in my heart, but would always want the Japanese version because you can't trust American Localizers to do their proper job.
Fire Emblem is an amazing series. I still have so many of them to play yet, but all 5 i've played so far were top notch. I can't read japanese, though I have the desire to learn. Hopefuly one day I will, and then Ill play all these games in their original versions. That woud be so cool :D Thanks for watching TBoneTony!
Awesome video, this looked like it took a lot of work to do. Really interesting hidden gems in this video I never knew about either.
Thank you so much, moonJuice! Glad you are enjoying and finding out about some hidden gems! Yes it was the hardest one so far for sure. The planning part alone took half a week, lol. But I am happy with the result and people seem to be as well. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos. Keep on the good work. 👍
Thanks severintw! This means a lot! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more Virtual Console coverage soon!
There’s also seven new games coming from the Silver Falls guys before the eShop sales stop
Yes, I've heard! Hope they are good, and better priced than the Silver Falls 3D horror game, cause that is like 25 bucks and not very good for that price. But Im certainly interested in them and will close look, very likely that I will make a video on them too. Thanks for watching JESmith!
I really appreciate the hard work you put in this video, I will be buying some of these titles before they are gone forever maybe.
My pleasure, the dark knight! Glad you enjoyed! Stay tuned for more on this series soon! Thanks for watching!
When you realise that you own 90%-ish of the games on the video. Anyway, excellent video, Void.
Some of the titles others have mentioned as not being released in Europe, like Car Battler and Klonoa 2, I was lucky enough to get on cartridge before prices skyrocketed.
I'm missing a few of the "bad" PC Engine games like China Warrior, Double Dungeons and the boxing and Pool games. Might still pick a few of them up before the end though. I also only have four of the Game Gear Games - Defenders/Shining Force II/Shinobi/Tails - I already own Sonic 8BIT and Vampire on the Master System, which don't suffer as much screen crunch, so you to see more than two feet in front of you. I might grab Crystal and the Sonic GG exclusive games.
Japan has a few VC gems of the 3DS eShop that the west never received for whatever reasons, including all the Famicom and Super Famicom Final Fantasises (I - VI), and the Famicom War and Fire Emblem 8/16BIT games. Also fun action and easy to pick up platformers like Antarctic Adventure, Bubble Bobble, Bio-Miracle Bokutte Upa, and the Game Boy version of Twinbee Da!.
I would recommend getting the Mega Man Game Boy games, as well as consider getting the Mega Man Battle Network series. Although I do wonder if Capcom will at some point release a compilation of either in the future.
I'm surprised they released Necromancer outside of Japan, given the language barrier of entry. Like you say, most people aren't going to read the small "requires proficiency in the Japanese Language" part. Could really have done with an additional pop-up warning before purchasing.
Wow, you seem to have a great collection, starlac! I went into your channel and saw your pickups from 2010. You picked up some great hidden gem Xbox original and PS2 games there (some of them climbed ridiculously in prices, such as Stubbs, the two Otogi games and Drakengard), you clearly got a good eye for games, mate! The GBA is one big hole in my collection, I don't own a single game for it. I really wanted to collect GBA games physically, but I had to force some limits onto myself otherwise I'd go broke. The Saturn is another that I wish I could collect for. And now with games prices the way they are, Im likelely never building a collection for those 2 systems, lol.
Good to know about the Master System version of Vampire Master of Darkness. Ill see if I can find a copy since here in Brazil Master System games can still be found for cheap. Fun fact, Sonic Blast also has a Master System version, but apparently only released here in Brazil, lol.
Dude, I wish the 3DS was not region locked and we could use a japanese account on it and get those cool games you mentioned.
On the next uploads I will certainly feature the Mega Man games you suggested. I wanted to include the Battle Network games on this first one, but there are so many that I decided to postpone.
Thanks for watching and leving this comment!
When I was a kid, I never had a SNES, only was able to have a old GameBoy that was new at the time.
Donkey Kong Land games were the closest I ever got to a SNES experience on the old classic handheld and I believe DK Land 2 holds up to being the best and almost as good as the original DKC2 game on the SNES.
As long as you understand the limitations of the GameBoy compared to the SNES, it's still great fun to play but of course, always play this game after the SNES version so you can appreciate what RARE could get out of the limited hardware they had to work around with.
Awesome. I did not play the DK Land games as a kid, so it took me decades to learn that they were really great games, despite the handhelds limitations. Thanks for sharing Tony! Stay tuned for more in this series of videos soon!
I would probably grab more VC games if they’d go on sale 😅.
I’ve picked up quite a bit of the Mega Man VC titles for 3DS, and am currently looking at Super Mario Land 1 + 2 on 3DS and the three FE games and Super Mario Advance 4 for Wii U.
Yeah, sadly I don't think Nintendo has ever made a sale of Virtual Console games... I can't say I've ever know about one. Great picks! The Super Mario Lands and the GBA remasters of the classics are all great and worth having. I also have to pick those up still. Thanks for watching Tylorian.
@@FromTheVoidGames IIRC The only time VC games went on "sale" were through A) A promotion that VC had on the Wii U early in its life, where you could buy select games like Super Metroid for 30¢/30p. Then for most of its life, via limited timed discounts you could "buy" at Club Nintendo with Platinum and Gold coins. Like spend 250 Platinum/Gold Coins for 30% off of *Insert VC Game Here*.
Sadly, Nintendo stopped doing them a while ago.
Great & timely videos. Thx.🥳🥳
Glad you liked them, Doug! Stay tuned for more of these soon!
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks both have mods that allow for D-Pad controls rather than stylus; many people seem to think this makes the games much more enjoyable :)
These I knew about, :D, and actually the gameplay of Spirit Tracks you see in this video is from the modded rom with the D-pad controls, lol. Thanks for leaving these comments!
Glad I have the original cartridges for the games I want. Saw this coming for years, even before the Wii virtual console store has been shut down.
Well no offense but yea this is gonna happen to every store at some point just a matter of time
Yeah, I didnt have the Wii, but when I saw all the games that we lost once the Wii digital sore closed, which was the first time something like this happened, it was an eye opener for sure. Have been preparing for the inevitability of other digital stores closing since then. Thanks for watching ozzy! Stay tuned for more on this series soon!
Not all games have cartridges though, next month will be the biggest loss of games in history so far. I can see some of them actually being lost forever.
Golden sun games were great, has a familiar look and feel to em too since Camelot worked on em. Yup the shining force folks. Great series both of em
Totally, those guys are awesome. They also made the Golf and Tennis Mario games that mix RPG into the gameplay, pretty cool. They are still around too, but less on the spotlight I think. Thanks for watching Joe!
And another good video, and I found a number of games that I either need to get or double check I have them, so many that I had to write down the series, not the games, there are some titles that would be redundant, for instance I own the 3ds remakes of the n64 Zelda titles, and I prefer my ds games on hardware so those I'll still look for physical versions of, but I am impressed with the effort for this vid.
Right, there is a lot of redundancy. I actually lucked out with this video cause I have the Turbografx Mini, so I didnt have to buy almost any of the Turbografx games on virtual console. Thanks fenni ken, glad you enjoyed the video!
With regards to Metroid Other M there is a mod for it that fixes a LOT of the issues that it came with: Other M Maxximum Edition. I haven't played it all the way through but the biggest issue I had was that the subtitles weren't updated to reflect the story changes so it can be jarring otherwise it's a considered a far better version to play through :)
Awesome, didn't know about that mod for Other M, thats's really interesting, will certainly take a look. Thanks for watching, Leonardo!
when it's the last day of eShop for both systems?
They didnt give us an exact day yet, they only said late March 2023. HOWEVER, credit cards wont be usable anymore in both 3DS and Wii U this MAY 23rd. And Nintendo Gift cards wont be redeemable after August 29th this year. So after those dates, the only remaining option will be adding funds through your Switch account, as long as you link it to your 3DS / Wii U account. Hope this answers your question. Let me know if any doubts remain. Thanks for watching!
“People are dumb d-dumb-dumb-dumb!” Well said! And sadly, so accurate…
Thanks for another eshop video!
My pleasure, Jesse! More to come. Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames also your 1st two videos were a big inspiration to my spending habits lately... 😅 don't know if Summer Carnival '92: RECCA caught your eye, but it is a must have from the virtual console.
I you connect a Wii U on a RCT TV with the Wii video cable the Advance games looks amazing, also the "Dark" NES games looks fantastic on Wii U with a CRT TV, almost like a real NES. (I asume that the N64 games also look better and brighter with this conection but sadly I never try it.)
Cool idea! Never thought to plug the Wii U onto a CRT. I don't own one cause I have no room for it in my home, but a great idea for sure!
no animal crossing wild world or earthbound? 😭 great video otherwise!
Another awesome video thank you!
My pleasure, thanks for watching, Buddy, glad you enjoyed!
What a shame Car Battler Joe wasn't released in Europe.
GBA Klonoa 2 is an american exclusive
Every Turbografx-16 VC game is an European exclusive.
Oh, that's a bummer, these are great games, why would they not release them in Europe, wtf. Thanks for watching!
I had Drill Dozer and I loved playing it on my GBA advance player. The gamecube controller rumbles too. Sadly I sold it because I needed money. I did buy it on the Wii U because yeah the value went way up since I got it. I paid 20$ for it at the time.
Yeah, GBA games are expensive, almost all of them at this point. Plus it's a pain to avoid counterfeits, the biggest reason why I never got into collecting for this system, so this library of GBA games on Wii U is a blessing to me. Drill Dozer is fantastic, and this is where I played it for the first time :D. Thanks for watching, Jesse! Stay tuned for more on this series soon!
If I could wish for one more game to be added on the eShop, it would be Super Mario RPG for the New 3DS eShop.
True, that would be a great fit! Thanks for watching, and stay tunder for more videos like this soon. Great name and profile pic, btw :D
@@FromTheVoidGames Thanks!
I always believe that Nintendo put GBA virtual consol games on Wii U to try to rise the number sales of the Wii U.
Also I always wonder, Why never was a Virtual Boy section on the 3DS?, that was the "perfect" opportunity to bring back some lost games like Mario Clash or Wario land. I love Nintendo but result very hard not get tempted for emulation on the web. 😔
Is hard to try a pay "streaming" gaming model when your afraid of a full catalogue to offer.
Yeah, and it didn't work very well... nothing could save the Wii U, sadly. Virtual boy games would be awesome in a newer platform, I would love that. Am aching to play Wario Land and Mario Clash and a few others there.
excellent video thank you
Glad you enjoyed, Nicole! Stay tuned for more 3DS/Wii U coverage soon!
Wish VC games can go on sell sadly I've never seen any of them on sale in the 3DS eShop before.
Yeah, VC games on sale are very rare. did a quick research and found that most games were never discounted and a few were only once. so not betting there will be one before the stores close, but fingers crossed. Thanks for watching Nintendude! Stay tuned form more VC coverage soon!
This is awesome, thanks!
My pleasure, Nick! Gad you enjoyed!
Fun fact: Bomberman 94 is also Mega Bomberman
Right, I think ack when I was a kid I played it under that name. Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames Same here. I still have the Cartridge too.
I pretty much got the ones I wanted. Maybe I'll get physical copies at a trade show, but I'm happy with what I got.
Cool. I still have to get a few, specially on the Wii U. Thanks for watching Sam!
Minor annoyance but the video caps out at 720p 50 again
oh God, I know... I changed things in my camera, and firmly believed I had found the issue and fixed it. Then when I extracted the video after filming the whole thing I saw that it was still 50fps. I will do some more research to find out what is going on for the next upload, I promisse. Sorry about that once again. Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames No worries! These are great videos, best recaps of the eShops on WiiU and 3DS I’ve seen
3:09 there is a gost controler behind you! It diappeared between edits and after that It went back 😜 I will get a 50 € card soon and Buy a bunch of stuf for the wii-u I Will certanly rewatch your vídeo for inspiration to get the best out of muy investment , by the way a big shoutout to the músic you used on this video, not only was It excelent you also went all the way and put the titles you perfectionist madman
LOL, yeah I noticed it too. Those are my headphones actually. Thanks man, glad you noticed the music. Its one of my favorite things to do on a video, including the game's music, there are so many cool ones. Thanks for watching, Dominic!
Wow what a video. Holy moly.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I'm buying the classic Fire Emblem games! Thanks!
Tails Adventures 2 does not exist.
True, I was referring to Tails Skypatrol, which came before Tails Adventures, not a sequel. Thanks for pointing this out! Stay tuned for more Virtual Console coverage soon!
guessing rhythm heaven fever / beat the beat is gonna be on the next video because with the current market prices that game on wii u is a STEAL
Yes, for sure the Rhythm Fever series will be on future videos. Yeah, both the Wii and DS games are crazy expensive, I bought the Wii version digitally. Thanks for watching!
I followed a link off Reddit and I enjoyed this video.
As an old school Sega fanboy, thank you for mentioning the Game Gear games.
They tend to get forgotten by many gamers, and there are some gems of the 3DS virtual console.
Cool, welcome to the channel, Caryslan! Yeah, Game Gear is largely overlooked, people have strong prejudice against it, which is a huge shame considering how great some of those games are. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more Virtual Console and other 3DS/Wii U coverage soon.
