I have to disagree because Mario and Luigi Dream Team (if you can put up with tutorials up the wazoo), Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and Wonderful 101 are up there.

Warning. Dream team is very long and I think I've put more than 25 hours in it and still haven't beat it. I've beat every other Mario and lungs game, just couldn't finish this one.

I have like 30 hours of it and while it's very long, it's really charming, aside from endless tutorials, the music is fantastic and the battles are really intricate and complex.

Dream Team is not the best M&L but it's also not the worst. I still like it a lot, and I never had a problem with the tutorials.

The battles are really repetitive and boring and the game just never ends. The walking speed on the overworld is also unacceptably slow in this day and age, feels more at home in the '90s. It does have great graphics but I never did end up finishing it and sold it again, because it was just too much of a slog.

Going to have to disagree here? You have to grind... like, none at all.

Maybe you have to grind a lot if you're moving through the game in the most efficient way possible, skipping all but the most valuable treasure, but normal play should leave you in a good position.

Edit: I mean, maybe I'm just good at the game, but it's a JRPG; what is there to be 'good' at? I pressed those buttons real good.

I just remember that at almost every boss I felt I was under leveled even if I went for everything so I'd have to go out and grind to do them easily. (spoilers I guess?) Things like the cooking event for Jean or that creepy ghost/woman/head thing that kills those lumberjacks are some of the choke points I remember. The game can get a bit frustrating at places if you don't keep up and it's easier to keep up on the GBA version.

Side note to anyone playing it, even if you don't like him, level Sten at least some. Just do it.

I don't know, it was a long time ago I played the SNES version. I just remember calling bullshit more often on bosses in the SNES version than on the GBA version.

It looks like their regular price in Japan is equal to $30ish versus the $50 they want for them here even when not gouging because they're sold out in a bunch of places because Smash. If you were going to be ordering stuff from Japan, or ordering more than 1 controller, it's definitely more cost-effective to go the Japan route.

NOA is so inept they didn't even bother to mention their own sales prices on the PR, so you're probably gonna have to check the eShops for yourselves on this one.

The Azure Striker Gunvolt/Mighty Gunvolt promo is on its last day; from tomorrow, Mighty Gunvolt will stop being a freebie and will start being a regular paid download game. That being said, Azure Striker Gunvolt goes on sale the day the promo ends, so if you buy them individually during the sale you'll get both games for a dollar less, so it ain't a huge deal.
