Awesome, I tried this morning and nothing, but it probably came up around 8

[Crispy Bacon]

I haven't checked myself, but some posters over on NeoGaf have confirmed it's now live via screenshots.

[xBASSxMONSTAx]

So are the games up?

[Abcdude]

Good to know, this week has been good.

Looks like it, though some members on Gaf said they had to manually search for the titles to find them.

£5.49 seems rather steep for a SNES game. I'm hoping for a good continuous line of games for it to persuade me to buy in the future.

[xBASSxMONSTAx]

Oh god dammit! I have to wait until tomorrow to get my fix.

 

Why do I have to wait an extra day? It's so unfair

[Gamejunkie]

Those prices do seem high for both NES and SNES games. They need to be a couple of pounds cheaper.

[DanJiblets]

I'll buy $20 worth and get a few. When's Super Metroid for 30 cents?

It's out there. I posted on the SMW one.

EU gets shoved aside again. o3o

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

It should be later today for Europe, we didn't get the update until early hours of Friday morning and they did say the day after the update.

[DanJiblets]

Well I hope they add more games soon, SMW is the only one worth it for me.
