Is there a reason we don't have it yet?

It's not from the Trials developers. It's a pretty shameless rip-off, though I think it's fun on the Vita. Certainly worth $5.59.

In case you missed it the PAL Balloon Fight update is a hackjob. PAL ROM running at 6/5 speed so music all high pitched.
Edit: Also the eShop account history really needs better names for things. The MiiPlaza DLC is listed as MEET3 and for a few minutes had me confused.
The eShop post says it was pulled on the 21st.

I was curious about that. haha. But yeah, I bought it (on sale too), and am enjoying it.
Yeah, you're right. And come to think of it, I do remember talk of how the latest system update caused the demo to crash, as someone else here mentioned. Odd how it seems to be only affecting that particular demo.

Geez, they didn't add Metroid: Zero Mission to 3DS virtual console during the anniversary thing? WTF.
What's so shocking about that? There are no GBA games on the 3DS Virtual Console.
Well, the G.rev fans will absolutely snap it up at that price, no issues.
But to get a broader audience it really should have ben $10 or less.

Oh hey. Rhythm Thief just landed on the Japanese eShop. Wonder why Sega seems to be allergic to the NA eShop. RT could really use a digital release over here being that its impossible to find.
Crush3D needs a digital release too.

Oh, I didn't realize that since I got a bunch from the Ambassador program. Nintendo still hasn't released any others?
What... are they waiting for?

Nobody knows and it's infuriating.
Its up for me on NA eShop.
Its definitely coming for WiiU VC in the future. Nintendo hasn't said anything about 3DS VC though.

So...Urban Trial.
It's like Trials, but without the amazing physics of the XBLA game. It feels like it should feel like the same physics, until you play for a bit and deal with what should be the more nuanced stuff, like climbing steep inclines. In Urban, you simply push forward and hit the accelerator without ever having to worry about balancing yourself. It most plays itself. As long as you have acceleration on and your rider leaning forward, your bike will press forward without error. It's basically fail-safe, which really completely ruins the point of playing a game like this in the first place.
So yeah, if you appreciate the physics of Trials, Urban will likely disappoint you.
edit: Some other random thoughts...
- music is good
- graphics are really good
- tracks are interesting and diverse
- edit: actually, there's no real online leaderboards that you can check. It only displays the world's top score or the best top score of all your friends after you complete a track. Kinda lame.
- no multi-player, but you can race ghosts in time trial
- framerate is solid. feels like 30fps
- you can create custom tracks, but there's no way to share them

Waiting until they can get them running better and with the 3DS features people expect from something they buy in the eShop, probably.

Few weeks late, but I'm interested in trying out a Megaman Game.
In the few recent weeks, Nintendo has made many Megaman games easily available.
What is the best first impression I can get for the series?

Mega Man 2 is the best place to start.

Kokuga's pretty awesome so far. The 3D effect is one of the best I've seen implemented on the system.

I'll trade you for Kirby's Dreamland 2. And 8 days of playing Pikmin 3.

Hell yeah, man. Definitely check it out.
Seeing people giving Mega Man a try makes me happy as it's my #1 favorite gaming franchise. Out of curiosity, was it the Smash Bros reveal that got you interested in Mega Man?
Start with Mega Man 2!
Will do. I've got the PS2 collection but never have put it in. I'm gonna wait till tomorrow and grab it for gamepad support and the 20 Coin Club bonus.

Hmm I've checked several times and its not there, may be an issue with the Canadian store or something

Any others? Nintendo still hasn't even released those games for us to buy yet. I'm honestly doubting we'll ever see the GBA on the 3DS VC, which is honestly one of the stupidest decisions Nintendo could make. I would honestly buy every single Ambassador program game, so why won't Nintendo let me give them my moneyyyyyyy?
I posted this in the eshop thread but decided to post this here as well:
Project Sweat- hand drawn 2D arpg with a Wii U stretch goal. Looks pretty cool, has my interest.

Hmmm, new system update (EU). Have no idea what it changed.

It's in NA too. Seems like a really small update.
You just made me skip it
Kokuga made it to the Mexican eShop, yay! I'm probably grabbing it along with Spelunker.
Yeah I'll keep my whole month for Mario&Luigi and another for Wonderful 101.
Personally I enjoyed Runner2 as a rhythm title a lot more than I enjoyed Nano Assault as a SHMUP. Nano Assault has some difficulty going for it but I think Runner2 would be more worth your cash.

Thanks! That's quite helpful.
I'm eventually purchasing both, but I've the money for only one of them right now.

Haven't played runner 2 but Nano Assault has been a huge surprise. It's really good for someone like me (I'm not a hardcore shmup fan, but I like starfox for example).

I just got the game and it's actually quite fun IMO and can still get pretty hard - although the physics aren't as complex as Trials I think it's still a worthwhile portable alternative.
It also looks really good for the 3DS, very detailed

Mighty Switch Force 2 is 5 and hence one cheaper than the first game. Is this perma or is it gonna go up in the future?
Maybe in AugustWhere are the new streetpass games in America??
Definitely not in July, though
If you liked the first Runner you'll like the second one plenty too. I sure did. Loved the second one. NaN is pretty good too. I'm very biased but I'd get Runner 2 first. Just the right difficulty, characters to unlock, awesome music, and you'll always be telling your self "just one more time!" ... and then an hour later you are still at it. Such a good game. Too stronk.
