Play Mega Man 2, 3, and X. Maybe 9 after that. They're good.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

Also a valid answer if the question is "who is your favorite character in Ghost Trick?"

Oh, and Jones was there too.

MH4U - 237 Hours
Pokemon Y - 226 hours
Pokemon Shuffle - 157 hours

I'm not very reliable, buy MH4U. I've been playing it with a friend and we're not even g-rank yet.

Kid Icarus is down at number 21, behind the eshop, my alarm clock, and the friends list. I really ought to try it again, it just didn't grab me.

Oooh. Yeah. I don't have it with me to check, but I probably have 100 hours on MH4U easily, and that's with me like not playing for a couple months over the summer. I've got like 250 hunts at ~30-45 minutes each, plus dicking around in town. I'm gonna check that activity log tonight and think about my life choices :v:

I don't have the log handy but it's

Animal Crossing: ~170
Monster Hunter: ~120
Pokemon Shuffle: ~75

Monster Hunter is pretty frontloaded for me too, I think I've played like 10 hours in the last few months. I binged hard on 3U early this year and then got 4U at launch and semi-burned myself out on it.

My 150 hours was within the first month or so of the game being out, since I feel like I haven't really played it in a long time. I basically played it like a full-time job. "College senior" meme checking in.

It's not a very good demo, but yeah. The controls require some getting used to. It's one of those games where you basically commit to all of your animations, including item uses, and its control scheme revolves around that concept.

Disappointed I wasnt able to nab the pikmin application badges today with the free plays, gonna try tomorrow. Do the cranes themselves reset each day, like, do they reset to their default positions and stuff or do they stay the same?

I just want those pikmin badges lol though not enough to ever drop money on the badge arcade

Stella Glow's demo sucked because it was literally just the prologue and had none of the progression or mechanics that will supposedly make the combat more interesting later. Two dudes from Atlus USA did a video on their Youtube channel of them playing through some of Chapter 3, which would have been an infinitely better choice for demo content.

Anyway, I haven't had an SRPG I've wanted to play in awhile (or really anything I've wanted to play), so I'm downloading the game now and will post thoughts about it when I get far enough to have a solid opinion of things.

Edit: The video I mentioned:

Stella glow looks like something generic but also like it'd be a good time killer srpg and hopefully it will one day not be 50 bucks or whatever it is priced at currently

Atlus does tend to do a lot of sales, at least for games they both develop and publish. I don't know how often they do sales for games where they just did the localization and publishing, though.

The Badge Arcade rabbits name is Byte in Japan so I'm not sure why they opted out of giving him the same name in the English versions.

I think they are different offerings in different regions. Right now in America I think the only app badges available are Pikmin and Pushmo. I assume the poster that mentioned getting them today was in Europe or Australia.

I'm guessing that his name, Byte, is a pun-nod to the word for "part-time job" (arubaito) and they figured it wouldn't translate. No real reason to take it out, though.

Haha, I remember using the Netflix app once. I locked my keys and phone in my car and had an hour to kill before my roommate showed up with my spare key, so I watched an episode of Dexter. Looked truly awful and it killed my battery in one episode.

Seems a little early for the playtime comparison stuff, but I'll bite. Here's my year-to-date top 5.

Pokémon Shuffle 65:13
I've basically quit playing this, I just stopped after missing an event guy and it spiraled down from there...
Pokémon Rumble World 64:14
...however, I've picked this back up. I mostly just keep it on standby and play it when I see the timers have cleared out again.
Etrian Mystery Dungeon 62:39
I mostly lost interest in this after getting to the credits. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either.
StreetPass Mii Plaza 52:04
I'll usually just boot it up when I've got people waiting. Living 5 minutes from a McDonald's helps a bit too.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky 33:48
I'm getting excited for Super again. My game card has a cleared file on it, so I mostly just pick it up to grind or perform rescues.

A lot of Pokémon in this list, I just noticed.
