Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

After tomorrow, the only Metroid games not available on NA Virtual Console will be Metroid Prime Pinball and Metroid: Other M. (I phrased it the way I did to count Metroid II on the 3DS VC)

I kind of hope Metroid Prime Pinball comes through and Other M doesn't, although since both Japan and Europe have Other M on Virtual Console we'll get it eventually.

I remember really enjoying Metroid Pinball. Not a lot to talk about since it pinball, but it had a nice Metroid Prime 1 theming.

The studio that made Mario/Metroid Pinball and Pinball Pulse on DSiWare, Fuse Games, went bankrupt shortly after Pinball Pulse was released.

The people who made those games also made the Pro Pinball games back in the day and they've since reformed to make another crowdfunded Pro Pinball game. They also made a 3DS game for Nintendo based on that BearShark video series they used to pimp on the eShop.

Having the touchscreen on a separate controller would make Hunters a lot more comfortable to play for a lot of people so it's a shame it won't have multiplayer.
One thing you'll find annoying is that the gamepad screen has two deadzones on both sides of the DS touchscreen- so if you aim too far to either side you have to re-press the stylus within the emulated DS screen

BUT, thanks to some recent WiiU homebrew developments I was able to play the game rendered at double the DS's normal resolution and with the bottom screen stretched to properly fill the gamepad screen.
I played a fair bit of the multiplayer back in the day but I only played the single player once, so it was pretty fun to come back to- especially with the increase in resolution

Kirby Planet Robobot is very similar to the last one but much better in every way (except framerate with 3D turned on, but maybe it's more stable on New 3DS).

Everyone knows Kirby's Dream Course is good but people don't mention it often enough. Go buy the good game.

Terraria 3DS was a very competent port that made good use of the dual-screen/touch-screen set up and the Wii U version looks to use much the same interface with some other Wii U-specific features like letting one person play on the TV and one on the gamepad screen. I'm sure everyone already bought it for pennies years ago but it's nice they're making an effort.

I never played the later Pokemon Ranger games, but the first one was a pretty neat idea that managed to turn a pretty simple mechanical idea into a fun game.

For some reason I thought Revelations was coming out next month. I've only finished Birthright so far and haven't started Conquest yet but I suppose I'll download that when it goes up since I grabbed a 10% off Nintendollarydoos card alongside Fates for that purpose.
