The music sounds off the whole time. If you didn't play the original, you won't notice.

Worse graphics and awful sound. The GBA version does have some extra levels though.
Jeez, all I have tried was the GBA version. Kind of want to try it for SNES now to see if I think the music is off, or if it is improved.

Well it's mainly just that the SNES has a better sounds; the same chiptunes running through the weaker GBA sound chip makes it sound a little different.

Axiom Verge is rad as hell and everyone here should play it, especially if you're pining for a 2D Metroid.

153 Hand Video Poker - $0.99

Why does this exist and how did none of you think it was worth commenting on?

It plays a song based on whether you win: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbfXGyT_vAw

It seems more like a surreal art project than a commercial product. I would definitely play it with a group of people if we were betting quarters on each set of 153 hands - i.e. who can get the "closest without going over" on the number of winning hands.

This is gonna sound weird since I'm usually shilling like a villain for this series, but maybe don't buy Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on sale. The next game in the series comes out in a month, and you almost certainly won't be done with a Monster Hunter game in 1 month unless you are insane.

It applies to all of the titles but i's 10% off the sale price not 10% off the full price. I've been holding off for a sale on Majora's Mask though so I'm happy. Gonna grab that and the Oracle games since I haven't played either of them.

My Nintendo has some extra things for E3. There's a "Sheikah Slate", "Sheikah Eye" and "Z icon" on e3.nintendo.com and clicking on each of them gets you 30 platinum coins each. And there's a secret bonus where if you click on the mii sticking out of the treehouse on the Games page, you get 10 more.
