Really glad I held off on Attack of the Friday monsters, 3.99 seems like a great price. Anything else recommended in this sale?

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Kirby is the perennial go-to for that sort of thing, but the only Kirby games on the eShop are the NES/Game Boy versions, so they might be a little outdated. I think I was 4 or so when I beat Kirby's Dreamland, it's easy and short enough that it might be worth a shot.

PAL update (week of February 20):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS 3DS dudes, note the Layton/Phoenix sale: Layton 5/AA5 will both be discounted until the 27th, For those who are unaware, Weapon Shop de Omasse was part of the first collection of Level-5's Guild games in Japan; it's a sorta-rhythm-based, sorta-RPG designed by the comedy duo America Zarigani, and was initially deemed unsuitable for international release due to its overwhelmingly Japanese nature. I guess the success of Friday Monsters made 'em think twice about bringing it over, who knows. Ice Hockey is one of the games included in the upcoming NES Remix 2, so I imagine we'll get all the other missing games before it drops in April.

I've never played an Ace Attourney or Layton game before. Should I rather just get the DS copies cheap, or are these fine to start with? Also, which of these games on the sale are good? I know Attack of the Friday Monsters is apparently a bit weird/underwhelming or something, but I think the premise of the game is so endearing that I'll probably give it a try. I have VLR on Vita so I'll rather play that there (soon as I get done with 999... right).

Speaking of NES Remix 2, it seems that Championship Mode will only work if you also have the first one, which I guess implies that games from both will be used.

I've played the original Layton trilogy for the DS and I'd recommend Unwound Future if you can get your hands on a copy - you might not know one or two important characters from the previous games but they manage to establish who they are and why they're there even if you've no idea at first. It also has the best puzzles and story of the three I've played as well.

You'd be ok playing the new AA game first, but I'd strongly recommend getting ahold of the others. You'll appreciate it much more if you know the characters and they're all fantastic games. Layton games have some connections but I'm more inclined to say you could just play the newer ones and go back later if you love them. The main reason is that while I could play all the AA games back to back to back forever, the Laytons might get a bit stale if you tried that.

Are you sure the sale is now, because Layton X Wright comes out March 28th, not February. It wouldn't make sense for them to discount it now if they are doing it "until the 27th, the release of the crossover game." Unless the sale goes from now until March 27th, I guess.

Give it to me straight: Club Nintendo is offering the SNES Mario RPG for 200 coins on the Wii U. Is there any realistic chance of the game finding its way to the 3DS shop?

And bear in mind, I think it's the Wii version, so it'll need to be played in Wii mode on the WiiU. The upside being that when it's released on the WiiU Virtual Console, you'll be able to just pay the upgrade price for it.

Any chance of getting that Layton/Wright sale in NA, you think? I want to catch Miracle Mask at $30 or under, but it seems to be out of print nowadays. I guess the crossover game isn't coming out here until who knows when, but Azran Legacy seems like a decent excuse for a sale to me. I just want my Layton fix at a more reasonable price, Nintendo.

The sale is from the 20th to the 27th of this month, ie one week. I screwed up the date of Layton x Phoenix in my head when I wrote that, my bad.

Capcom is releasing Street igther 2010 (NES) on the JP 3DS VC next week, another game that's new to the VC, interesting. Also interesting: Nintendo is doing a first-party eShop sale in Japan over the next three weekends: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/campaign/20140219/index.html quote:Weekend #1: NOE seems to mimic the JP promotions fairly consistently, NOA doesn't.

PAL update (week of February 20):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS NA update (week of February 20): quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS (NA dudes, if there are any active sales for Wii U, let me know... NOA is terrible about advertising that stuff.) Weapon Shop de Omasse involves running a weapon rental shop inside an RPG, forging weapons for stereotypical JRPG heroes and then following their progress on a faux-Twitter feed. The original JP release seemed to get a good response, and Level-5 have spent a lot of time on the localisation, it seems. Heads up for NA dudes who didn't notice: Aeternoblade dropped a couple days ago, no wonder why it didn't come out today as per the usual schedule. Sounds like it might be kinda okay-ish?

Oh, and while I'm here: Batman Arkhams Origins Blackgate, the 2.5D Batman game for 3DS/Vita, is getting a HD console re-release in April for a bunch of platforms including Wii U. UK price is £15.99, dunno about elsewhere. $15-20 seems about right.

I thought the Aeterno Blade demo was kind of a bummer honestly. Weapon Shop de Omasse looks interesting, so I'll probably give that a shot! I'm curious - for those of you who fill out the Club Nintendo surveys, do you make a point of criticizing the eShop/Virtual Console every chance you get? Let me give you more money, Nintendo!

I'm quite okay with these Western developed/focused titles that probably won't sell all that well on the 3DS but will just get an HD console release 6 months to a year later. I don't think i'll ever buy Resident Evil: Revelations, Castlevania or Batman, but I am drat happy they at least exist.

If you take Liberation Maiden at face value (anime girl who is President of new Japan uses giant robot to kill bad guys,) it's awesome but short. The sequel is a Visual Novel on the PS3 though...
