All the ones I got are worth it except Mighty Switch Force! which was fun but too short and too difficult to beat the times in. Dillon's Rolling Western and Swapnote are easily my top recommends. I haven't played Mutant Mudds yet, bring it out NoE

Think of them as full games, not just the free downloadable shovelware of mobile gaming, and you will see the value. These games are worth a lot more than mobile games.

So my answer is yes, they are worth it.

I'd say yes. I got Dillon's Rolling Western and that game was well worth them money.

I have all the eshop games so far except Samurai Sword Destiny and I think they're all worth the price except Lets Golf 3D and Mighty Switch Force.

This is a valid point, if only because what I've seen of Journey I think is amazing.

Journey is worth $5... INSTABUY

1: Mighty Switch Force is well worth the $6
2: Don't abandon such a great game like SSD
3: All games from the 3D classics section (with the exeptions of Xevious, and Twinbee) are not worth your money.

Here's my motto; if you feel the game is worth the asking price, then buying that game is worth it. It's not about whether the amount of content or quality of that content justifies the asking price (although those are factors of consideration when planning to buy a game).

I agree that most of the 3D Classics at this point stink, but I would also lump Xevious and Twinbee in there: I don't want to pay that much for one arcade game just because it's in 3D. However, I would have gotten Kirby's Adventure even if it wasn't in 3D. It's actually a full game!

Wiser words have never been spoken.

Journey is not a game that you can understand the value of by not buying it. Videos, trailers, reviews. They tell nothign about the extent of beauty in Journey. They may gush forward with details and descriptions, but all those words seem insignificant when actually playing this masterpiece.
What you do in this game cannot be explained. Why you are doing this for cannot be explained. When you beat the game, both of these questions are answered, and yet they are not. After experiencing the game yourself, even playing through it many times and finding hidden messages and deep meanings, you will not be able to explain it. You never will. This game amplifies your fear, your tension, your relief, your awe. And if you are judging this game based on videos and reviews, and believe it's worth to be merely $5, sir, you are sadly wrong.
