It's underrated—I can't say anything about Darkest Dungeon because I haven't played it, but this game is quite good

Yeah Steamworld Heist is great

Good choice. One of my favourite series. If you're not great at rhythm games you may be surprised by the challenge

I read the spoiler but what is it and why does it matter?


Thought about it, but I feel like it'd be one of those games with an optimal way of playing that I wouldn't allow myself to diverge from becoming very repetitive. This happened with me in Darkest Dungeon and made me very quickly regret it.

Good choice. Let us know what you think when you get to late game/post game challenges.

Is it almost impossible to use the nub for anyone else playing Luigi's Mansion on the n3ds? I thought mine was broken until I booted up Snake eater and it controlled fine.

Cool thanks. Never played any Luigi's Mansion, but it seemed intriguing when it came out. Having the whole series available on one console is pretty nifty. Would definitely consider.
The whole Luigi's Mansion series will only be available on 3DS until Luigi's Mansion 3 comes out. :v:

Yeah but that way you can say you played the whole continuity from the beginning up until that point, which is something that bothers me far far more than it should.

Maybe, I tried it again today and its not so bad.. I just cant use the motion control cause the going in and out of 3d it causes makes me nauseous. I got to say that Snake Eater is just as much fun as I remembered.. I dont think I ever finished it on the 3ds though.

I can’t believe I waited this long on Streets of Rage 2 3D.

The 3D isn’t just really pretty but I can easily identify what vertical plane the characters are on, meaning I can tackle higher difficulties for extra madness. It totally changes the game.

I’m so happy to finally play it. I was pissed we didn’t get it for the American release but Europeans got it.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I hadn't gotten into WarioWare besides Smooth Moves (and I felt that was basically half tutorials) and Gold seems like a high point in the series.

I bought so many unexpected bootleg GBA and DS games off eBay that I eventually gave up and just got a flash card. Most of them stopped working like a month after playing for the first time.:smith:

My Kirby Mass Attack is great. The front of the box has a PEGI rating (which it should, I'm in Europe) and then the back of it has an ESRB rating.

The manual also looks like it is just a review spread across multiple pages and broken up with screenshots.



I should note I didn't buy it. Christmas present.

While not bootleg I bought a used copy of Darkwing Duck on the Gameboy at Funcoland. Imagine my surprise it was the German copy of the game. But it a platformer so I didn’t mind.

your only real option to avoid bootlegs will be used games at brick and mortar stores, and even then you never really know without examining it, and i doubt they'd let you do that in the store.

eBay listings with reasonable looking prices and photos that look like they're actually of the cart theyre selling so you can check for obvious bootleg stuff are about the best you can do.

I don't usually buy DS games on eBay but it's generally a good idea to avoid prices that sound too good to be true. And be sure to not buy games from China.
