If I knew they would do Mario themed apps I wouldn't have bought the Animal Crossing ones. I have no feelings about AC having never owned one of those games.

" This typically fills Nintendo's online cupboards with old games previously restricted to Japan, and bumps the price up a bit in the process."

So true.

Yo Nintendo if you want to compete with the app store stop coming out with this shit.
Otherwise they will just pull away.

Unfortunately Nintendo at its worst. They should have bundled these kind of applications in a single package. :(

But there's also some good news on the DSiWare front: In the US they relased a proper sudoku game priced at 5$ this week. That's much better value than the €20 minimum you typically pay for a DS cart-based game. :)

No comments on Ogre Battle yet? Bet there's quite a few people glad to see it up on the VC...

Ogre Battle is immense; a real landmark in the not-very-accessible, are-you-sure-this-is-a-console-game tradition of fantastically deep tactical JRPGs. It's a shame that Eurogamer doesn't seem to do the virtual console/wiiware/psn/xbla roundup reviews anymore as it's the kind of release that really should be evangelised - provided, of course, that someone has bothered to translate and localise it first (these are the sort of details a review could helpfully provide for us Joe Plebians).

So yeah, EG. What gives? Surely it can't be that you're struggling to keep up with reviewing all the AAA releases we're seeing during the summer drought...

Ogre Battle was out in the USA a while ago though, and IIRC it got an English translation back on the SNES, just never a PAL version.

Are these games only available for a limited time?

@GrumpyLlama

Most Hanabi festival games stay in the catalogue permanently, afterwards; there have been a couple of games, in previous festivals, that have been delisted but I believe they have all been added permanently in subsequent festivals.
