No seriously, Rusty's is legit good. If you're really that leery, he gives you a demo that lets you play three minigames before you have to drop $2.00 to continue, and from there you can buy any game you want.

Is Layton X AA getting a retail release? It's one of those games I'll likely be sharing with my brother, so I'd prefer not to get it on the eshop.

Yes. Although I've seen it range from anywhere between $30 and $40 depending on from who and when you ordered it (if you preordered) so you might want to double check on that before pulling the trigger if it really is going to be only $30 on the eShop.

I know at one point Amazon had it going for $32 (20% off of $40), but I haven't gotten an email saying they're only charging me $30 (yet) even though they're showing $29.99 as the regular price now. :shrug:

Having looked at that site, is there an actual reason why all the NES/GB games seem go to the 3DS and the SNES/GBA games to the Wii U? It seems strangely arbitrary.

There are GBA games on 3DS. I assure you that you would not be willing to pay money for them in their current state.

Well they do! They just don't support save states, a pause function, or even stopping the loving game when you close the 3DS to put it in sleep mode. If all you want to do is play the game, then it's perfectly fine! :downs:

Nope, it treats them like DS games/DSiWare in that pressing the Home button will ask you if you want to close the game, and that's it.

FE7 (Fire Emblem) is the better game, but Sacred Stones is a bit easier and makes for a more gentle introduction. I'd actually recommend Awakening over both of them as a first game if you have a 3DS, but between the two go with Sacred Stones.

Unless you've hosed with the setting somewhere, the Wii U should go into standby mode after you turn it off and continue downloading whatever was active when it shut down. It's the same thing it uses to download patches and updates overnight, so make sure that's turned on and you should be fine.

Counterpoint: Golden Sun is mediocre at best and its main selling points are looking pretty good for a GBA game and having a decent soundtrack. It was released at a point where it was the first and only "real" RPG for the system, and you're really only getting half the game, as The Lost Age pretty much picks up right where Golden Sun ends and you are very much expected to play both of them to get the full story. If you've got nothing else, it's fine, but don't set that bar too high or you're going to be disappointed.

I swore that DKC was taken off of the Wii VC due to it being Rare's property or something like that. What happened there?

The DKC games have not and never will be Rare's games. Everything created for them has been used and reused even after Rare's sale, including the Kremlings in one of the Mario Strikers games.

I ordered a couple things but I checked the Club Nintendo order number and it matches the one that I placed back in December so yeah, it's the Smash CD.

I liked Sticker Star a lot. I've never played the other two, and I've heard that they are way better, but that doesn't make Sticker Star terrible. :shrug:

And that's why. Sticker Star is absolutely nothing like the previous two, featuring much less focus on the story, no RPG elements, and a totally gutted battle system. It might as well have been a completely different franchise, a la Nuts and Bolts (although even that had more of BK in it than SS does for Paper Mario). Frankly, I'd argue that SS is a bad adventure game on top of not being a Paper Mario game, the music is the only thing in the entire game I actually enjoyed.
