It's the one where Megaman's gun fires collectible cards and everything has an AI chilling inside.

It's more like an action RPG with random battles that take place on a 6x3 grid. The good ones are really, really good.

The only one like FFT is MMBN5 which has a weird RTS/SRPG aspect to it that isn't particularly good. Still better than 4 which has no redeeming qualities.

No you'll have to buy it on console for that (the PS4 version is fairly cheap/actually has playable online/comes with all the costumes too I think so that's a good deal)

Apparently SSFIV 3DS sold over a million copies though which is kind of bizarre considering it's the worst platform to play it on other than iOS (I mean 3DS was a good port but there was never really any reason to buy it over a console version)

I bought it for like $2-$7 so I'd say it's VERY much a steal at that price. It also plays well and allowed you to shareplay off one cart (They had to play as Ryu, which like MK7 and Shy Guy was not really a punishment).

The Lite mode (where special moves have their own button on the touch screen) is still worth a chuckle. Walk up Flash Kick just never gets old.

All they care about is that eSports cash, although it would be tight if they had a side competition of the really unbalanced 3DS Lite mode.

They bundled it with some DLC; that same bundle is also available on the other console for the same price but they still have access to the cheaper standard version, so it'd be nice if Wii U owners had that option as well.

The US version was and still is $30. Even the Japanese version doesn't cost that much anymore.

I would like to say this but I am completely unable to finish Shantae 1. That game is padded to hell and back with pointless travel times between towns and dungeons. And the traveling is never fun either because all the monster designs are obnoxious to fight without losing health and/or waste your time so you're constantly on edge from the risk of dying and yet somehow simultaneously bored.

I want to play Risky's Revenge before Pirate's Curse, because I'm a story nerd, but I think I may go ahead and skip the first one if it's that kind of game. I'm sure there's a summary or something out there, tho the writing still seems charming.
