I grabbed the humble bundle, and apparently I can only get Citizens of Earf on one platform. I happen to own both a Wii U and 3DS, but is there any reason to use one over the other? Does either one run significantly better, have more features, etc.?

Good news, both are terrible

The 3DS version... does not look great. It looks like they just scaled everything down, it doesn't look as fun and vibrant as the Wii U version. Also there isn't really a 3D effect if you turn the 3D slider up, which is pretty disappointing. I've heard that the Wii U version has long load times but I can't imagine they would be better on the 3DS, but I haven't actually gotten that far.

Thanks, I'll just get it for the Wii U instead, but it looks like it will be low on my list regardless.

So is Pocket Card Jockey a full game or does it have microtransactions?

Those two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

But as far as I know, PCJ has no post-initial-purchase options of any kind.

Driving a virtual large truck while listening to your fave podcasts or radio stations is pretty relaxing tho

Moreso if you're playing multiplayer

I'm aware that Animal Crossing games are huge sellers. I'm saying that Happy Home Designer, in particular, seems niche. Animal Crossing appeals to people for a million different reasons. Taking 95% of the gameplay away to focus on decorating seems like something that wouldn't sell as well to me.

Well, it also cut out the tedious bullshit, and gave you a way better interface and controls for decorating, plus even more stuff to put in houses! House decorating is my favorite part of Animal Crossing, and I'm probably not alone. Oh, and you're not limited to 10 villagers and you can put whatever you want in their houses. You don't have to worry about them randomly moving away or new move-ins ruining your flowers. You also don't have to play every day.

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.
Man, Code Name STEAM is kind of frustrating. I can see why it didn't sell well. I got it for $10 at Gamestop and aiming suuucks. There are these tiny enemies and you can target them and your targeter will flicker back and forth between being locked on and not and it's a crapshoot as to whether you waste your steam points or not.

Edit: It doesn't happen only with the tiny enemies, they're just the most frustrating since they're so small and also they basically just fly around and overwatch and if they hit your dude, your dude is automatically stunned and loses their turn.

Probably in a week or two. This game is so hosed up. It's so charming and addictive, it has Croccers saying "whoop" like the tutorial mascot, Off Course. Of Course. Yeah.

It's something that's been hinted at and hyped up for awhile now. Massive spoilers, seriously. You first fought Nova as a boss way back in Super Star- he and Marx were kind of the big things in Milky Way Wishes. Return to Dreamland has Magolor, the villain of that game talking about how clockwork planets and the like have their eyes on popstar and in Robobot we finally have the payoff to all that with Nova re-appearing.

The fact Kirby's mech joins up with the Halberd to make a gigantic mecha to fight it is just flat out great.

Yeah sounds like it. I might have been pissed if I had bought the game on it's own, but as part of a bundle deal it's alright. I think I was mostly buying for Shantae anyway.

Pocket Card Jockey is fun enough, but they really should have put the deck on the left side instead of the right. The current placement just makes no sense. :colbert:

Kirby's a series that you wouldn't expect to have a overarching plotline but totally does.

There's not really a whole bunch to it but there's always bits and pieces given if you look at what the cute NPC's say. Heck the pause screen's for bosses even give you little info dumps on them- Magolor for example began opening theme parks after being RtD's final boss and the Anniversary Collection and Dedede's Drum Dash are exhibits he made v:v:v

Kirby games have surprisingly detailed flavor text that carry over from game to game.
