Yay so another game we will never see in Europe

Yay so another game from the genius Daisuke Amaya

Yay so another shmup for the eShop!
Hope it's good.

Ikachan is indeed quite a nice little game.
Emphasis on little though, I am not sure it should cost $5, more like $3.
That's if we're considering the amount of content though, for the quality of the content I'm certain it's worth that much.

...Still, we haven't even got Cave Story+ in Europe yet, which stings.

@RupeeClock This version apparentally has more content so maybe it I worth 5$

Looking forward to these.

NICE!
Pixel is a great developer-- my money's down for both of these titles.

Oh cool, I'll definitely support these.

I hate to download this and get another glitch-infested game like every Nicalis eShop game so far. I hope we get an update on Cave Story soon.

@Knux My thoughts exactly, except replace the first game with "lazy port"

Both are on my want list, especially Ikachan.

ikachan is...

Ah, another Pixel re-release... Life is odd sometimes. Great game for free though.

Both look good. Highly interested if they ever come to Europe for a decent price.

With Cave Story, VVVVVV, & NightSky, Nicalis has become one of my favorite eShop publishers, so I'll definitely look into these (especially Ikachan).

@RR529 Let me do you a favor. Please go on Steam.

VVVVVV is $3 less and a much better deal since you can download levels and there's a level editor.
Cave Story is the same as well as NightSky, but discounts are much more consistent.

@haiLtreTtenDo I'll be highly interested to see if these come to Europe at all. Nicalis have got a horrible habit of publishing quality games but not bringing them to Europe.

If they ever come here, they'll be insta-downloads for me. Same as NightSky and Cave Story + would be if they'd ever release those here also

@Knux Cave Story has had a patch for a while, so what are you talking about?

I have loved all 3DS games Nicalis has put out on the Eshop. I look forward to this.

YES. I've been waiting for Ikachan.

@Knux LOL the game has been patched since october 12th!

@rayword45 Well, a level editior isn't a Nicalis thing... Terry himself said he did not want the level editor on the 3DS

@TheDreamingHawk Then why would you charge $3 more? You REMOVED content.

That's like setting up an ice cream stand and charging 8 bucks for one scoop, 5 bucks for 2. Pretending weight watchers never existed how does that make any sense?

Amending that, the single scoop you get sprinkles (3D), while the double scoop allows you to get unlimited refills.

Sweet now put 1001 spikes on 3DS

@Rayworld45, I would get a Steam account, but we have a really slow old desktop, and don't currently have the money for a new one.

Been waiting for Ikachan since it was announced to be coming out on DSiWare

Still waiting for Yatagarasu, it's the game I want most from these guys.

I got excited when I saw Ikachan listed in the Coming Soon list on the 3DS eShop. Definitely gonna buy it the weekend it comes out.

I will have to hear about any game ending glitches before I buy.

Ikachan could be another game that really benefits from 1) being on a handheld, and 2) the 3D top-screen. I don't know, but something about NightSky really clicked with me, but only because I was holding it in my hands and the subtle 3D depth really added to the atmosphere. I don't think I would have played it to completion--twice--if I'd downloaded it for cheaper on Steam. So I have no problem if eShop games have a slight increase in price.

@Europe I'm going to hold off on this one until our friends in Europe get at least Cave story. If they're missing out I'm missing out

@Windy Im doing the same with games not coming to Japan

great news! day 1 purchase

takes a stand for Europe
