I wonder if the shovelware stuff on the eShop sells well for the publishers. Some of it just looks so terrible.

Robot Rescue 3D is uhhhh okay I guess.

Should I be buying Denpa 2?

Yo NA dudes, nhere are your Club Nintendo digital rewards for this month:

Bonsai Barber was by some ex-Rare dudes, and I remember Nintendo pimped it a bit when it came out, but I don't really remember whether it was actually any good.

Number Battle ("Sujin Taisen: Number Battle" outside of NA) was developed by the now-defunct Mitchell Corp for Nintendo, and from what I recall it was pretty good. I think it even has online multiplayer, too, not that it'll matter for much longer.

Is there a UK equivalent to Club Nintendo digital rewards?

No way, GBA games were £25 typically and between £20 and £25 from places like ASDA.

I paid something like �29.99 for Sonic Battle used.

VC-Price Chat:

I loved picking up SMB1&2 for �1.79 in the recent sales. That's a good sweet spot for me on games that old. I just wish they did some sort of regular weekly featured sale at that price-point.

If MegaMan Battle Network 3 is the one that has a Blue Moon edition I had a lot of fun with that when I was younger. Except for this bullshit bit in what I think is the final area where you have to activate switches in the right order under a time limit. I think I was underlevelled too, which probably didn't help. As a kid I would skip a lot of fights in most RPGs. I blame Skies of Arcadia.

Haha nope that's Battle Network 4 which is considered to be the worst game in the series by most people.

It was the first one I played and I loved it.

It's the only one I've played! The only way to go is up!

They also named the DS Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, which can either be a reference to the fact that the 3DS takes SD cards in the SD card slot, or if you turn it around it's Dragon Shadow, which maybe refers to Developers System, and if you take Fire Emblem and mix the letters around it spells Rib Elf Em Me, which may be a hint as to what Nintendo will name their next console?? Makes you think.....

Everyone had better have imagined this like this:

Pokemon TCG for GBC was the best game based on a TCG I'd played when it came out, and it still is. Walking about in the gyms, collecting badges for a purpose, just tonnes better than others I've played.

Definitely picking this up from the VC and I suppose now I'll never need to dig out my GBC again.

I just noticed that in the Smash Bros sale the NES titles are more expensive on 3DS than on Wii U. �2.24 as opposed to �1.74. I'm not really sure how that makes any sense at all.

I prefer to buy them on the Wii U anyway.

(But really they should be cross buy anyway.) :words:

Wonder why we're only getting one of the two versions, though I guess, like Pokémon, there's not much difference.

I'm playing Seasons first. Did I do it wrong?

I kind of like the overworld puzzles using the season changing.

But this hasn't got a patch on Link's Awakening (DX), honestly.

Yes.

Also if you play Seasons second you can get the Master sword and Biggoron's Sword, very helpful for the stronger foes.

The most powerful item is Save States.

Honestly they've really allowed me to enjoy older games I just don't have the time to replay over and over. Finally beating Mega Mans is fun.

I'm definitely going to buy Demon's Crest, and I want to get Gargoyle's Quest 2 but I'm not sure if I want it on Wii U or 3DS. Just going to take this opportunity to say once again that it's dumb that Nintendo doesn't have cross buy.

I don't remember people complaining when they had to buy Chuck Rock at full price for both Mega Drive and Game Gear. Typical entitled modern gamers.

I don't know if they've actually covered them *all* but they're close, the most on-top-of-it of any site I know, and the list has a lot of useful filters.

Gives Sonic Drift 2 and 8/10 and Sonic Labyrinth a 4/10? That site clearly cannot be trusted.

Angry Birds Star Wars is really 40 Euros/30 Pounds? Because that sounds ridiculously expensive. I mean even Wal-Mart and Toys R Us are showing a 20 dollar price tag for the US.

I've seen it in UK retail shops for about that price.

It's insanity -- but I guess people must be buying it to make it worth selling for that price?!

Hey guys,

Persona Q is the first RPG I've really played since Chrono Trigger, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. I see all these Atlus games listed on sale at the eShop and I'm wondering if there's an opinion on which of the below I should dive into next? Or even which of the Devil Survivors and Etrian Odysseys is the best?

Thanks for any input!

SMTIV for $15 is a goddamn steal.

Joining the "I'd have gotten it if it was half off for the first week again" club. I don't have much interest in buying it until they put it on offer some time. Guess that's just the kind of guy I am.

I mentioned it in the amiibo thread but it's worth mentioning here, too - from the NCL investors' briefing;

This isn't meant to signify anything about the VC, it's just a value-add for individual Amiibos.

I hate that Trial gameplay of super old games poo poo. You know they've gotta put the whole game in there anyway.

From Sonic Gems Collection to Super Smash Bros. it just seems kind of cheap.

You're old games aren't that crazy amazing -- just put 'em in or don't. At least make it so it's like "a level".

Nice, I half expected to have to pay extra for it.

Not really a fan of when Season Passes don't mean "all the DLC" (I can forgive costume packs I guess) - which seems to be happening lately.

Nintendo DLC is good DLC.

jivjov posted:

But they'll list out how many content packs you're getting, etc. I literally never seen a season pass that just gives a non specific "and some future stuff" listing.

Maybe they don't all itemize it out to the degree Hyrule Warriors did, but they'll at least say "3 content packs" or "2 DLC campaigns" or something.

I'm aware they usually do this, but even if they let you know that doesn't mean I have to like it. The value of a season pass as I perceive it is in some part the convenience of a one time fee without having to hassle about buying all the individual stuff.

Not sure how they compare to the NA coins sytem. They seem kinda pricey. But I've got about 6k furrowed away after picking up the TLoZ:LBW OST so I should be good for a couple.
