I hope NA gets the same stuff this week too...

I think WiiU is kind of a weird name that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but honestly it doesn't matter what it's called so long as it's fun to play. I'm also happy that there will be analogue sticks over circle pads.

I've been playing Golden Sun: The Lost Age for the past few days, so I'll probably continue with that.

Oh, and more Rune Factory 3!

Read about this in Nintendo Power. Really looking forward to it!

I was slowly working my way through Tales of the Abyss, but Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns grabbed me once more. I'm in winter year 5 and still playing obsessively.

While I think the aqua blue was the nicest colour I don't care, I'm perfectly happy with my black Zelda 3DS.

@Wheels2050 Thanks for the info!

Hmmm, nothing for me this week. Looking forward to Chronicles of Vampires next week though. Yeah, the first was way overpriced and the art was a joke, but I kinda liked it anyway.

I'm thinking of pledging $35, but haven't decided just yet. I wish there were previews of more gameplay + music in the interview to help me decide.

EDIT- Nvm, I just noticed that if I scroll down like a smart person there music and screenshots. I think I might actually pledge for the limited edition, but I'm not too sure how kickstarter works- will I lose my money if they don't raise the amount before the deadline?

Looks like a cool idea but the graphics are much too crude for me. YES I am shallow and often need decent graphics to enjoy a game.

I hope America's releases look this good this week....

@chewytapeworm- Yes, it is.

I agree with this score. I got it & love it. Not too deep, but fun & worth the cheap price.

I might get ameobattle... but not sure yet. What's with the skimpy releases, anyway?

Loving the e-shop's new look, and the folders are an OCD's dream. starts to obsessively organise her games

But I agree with previous commenters that varying folder colours and at least 3 characters would be much better. Hopefully that will be added in a future update.

@sdcazares1980 : Don't listen to those jokers. It stands for ambiguous refuse.

Gasp I want the AR searcher!! hope it comes to the western world...

Blech, nothing but hardcore gaming stuff this week. Those of us with slow reflexes have nothing to download. Pity, I just finished Penguin Patrol and was hoping there'd be something good this week that wasn't frantic or frustrating.

Hopes dashed.

I agree that Wiiware has some ridiculous policies, especially the payment policy, however, I feel that Beamdog's complaints, while valid, were unprofessionally worded.

'The wii is a toy, not a console.' Well, jeez, sorry guys, but all video games are toys and so are all consoles. Just because some are aimed at older audiences doesn't make them any less a toy. We play with them, therefore, they are toys.

Goes to play with her toys

They're releasing another doll studio? Seriously? Ah well, I'm still only just over halfway through penguin patrol, which is pretty awesome, if incredibly challenging. Got stuck on a few levels for 2+ hours- that rarely happens to me in a puzzle game, and never so frequently as this one.

This program is simply amazing. I thought Inchworm was good... but this is everything I wished Inchworm could do.

Check out my gallery... if you dare! (all my art is PG) http://colorslive.com/author.php?page=1&id=34050

The trailers made me dizzy, so I think I'll pass when it comes to NA.

I used to play this game with my brother. We didn't let him use the golden gun. We got killed enough by him without it.

I would have gotten a 3DS at launch if it hadn't been for the ridiculous price. That was my major issue. I also was unsure for quite a while that the 3D could be turned completely off- a necessity for me because of some serious eye conditions I have. But I would have looked into that sooner had the price been more reasonable. As soon as it dropped and I got wind of a Zelda edition, I was sold.

I do recommend Dragon Crystal to ye Europeans. It is kind of masochistic as the review says, but I managed to beat it on my second try by using restore points before entering each new level. While it gets kinda repetitive around floor 10 I still found it to be a pretty good deal.

After Samurai Sword Destiny, I figured this would be a flop as well. Looks like the e-shop is going to have its fare share of garbage just like DSiware.

When it was listed on the e-shop as 'coming soon' there was a price tag for the first couple hours. I think it was $6.99.

Super excited about this! I'm an artist so I'm eager to have a painting program for my 3DS. I already have Inchworm for my DSi and love it, so I'm really looking forward to the more sophisticated Colours.

Hmmm, you guys are making me want to play this Chocobo Dungeon because I rather enjoyed Dragon Crystal. It was my first and only rogue-style experience.

Blah. All junk this week. Zombie Slayer Diox looks a lot like Maestro! Green Groove by Neko Entertainment. Which I found so brutally hard that I couldn't get more than 2/3 of the way through it. So pass.

I'd give it a 7 too. Just beat it last night. BY THE BY, there ARE portals on every floor. If you run into a seemingly dead-end, repeatedly press the A button next to the wall and it might open a path to a place you couldn't get to.

My only big problem is it gets crazy hard around floor 25. The enemies suddenly get insanely strong, even if you've taken the time to level up as much as possible and collect every item. Not only that, but the enemies can permanently lower your stats as you fight them, or rust your weapon or steal your armour... I ended up using restore points and running away from everything on the last 5 floors.

I love that manga, never knew he was a video game character. O_O

Kinda wish I'd gotten this instead of Rumble Blast. It was a blast at first but became a chore near the end. This one looks like more my kind of game.

If the difficulty is tame, this may actually be the game for me. I love old-school games but tend to... well, suck at them. Badly. I didn't start playing games until I was in my late teens, so having pretty much missed the entire old-school era and not having played them as a little kid, I find almost all old-school games to be well beyond my abilities. However, with the VC restore points I've scraped past a handful of them and really enjoyed them (Especially Link's Awakening and Gargoyle's Quest)! So I think I'll give this game a try and see if those restore points will allow me to scrape past this as well.

I hope this one comes out soon... I love puzzle games and this one looks charming.

I wonder why they keep taking VC games down? Don't they want the money from the sales?

I have updates on my games available, but didn't get any message from the e-shop.

No wonder I suck at old school games. It's actually because I suck at math! XD

Picked up Dragon Crystal. I'm a sucker for just about any game that's advertised as an RPG. And I'll keep hoping they someday release the Zelda oracle games on the 3DS VC.

I don't think I'd want it. I'd rather see video game characters showing the time.

We've seen the 3DS have a shaky start due to some poor decisions on Nintendo's part. Hopefully they've learned from their mistakes and will have a full-featured and reasonably priced system at launch. If they don't a lot of fans are going to lose faith and start migrating to other platforms.

I tried this on my friend's computer some years back and sucked pretty badly at it, so I think I'll skip this download.

I'm VERY glad he didn't give up. HM is one of my very favourite series. It's a great game to relax to and can feel very rewarding when you accomplish something difficult, but is never I-want-to-hurl-the-game-across-the-room frustrating. Right now I'm completely hooked on Tale of Two Towns. In year 5 and very close to finishing that recipe book!

EDIT: I hope they will release the original HM on 3DS VC. I'm getting into retro games and would love a look at the game that started the series

I think Japanese games are still the best. I've never seen an indie game that could touch Zelda, Pokémon, or Rune Factory.

I agree that their behaviour was unacceptable. I think it right that their title should be revoked if they can't conduct themselves while attending this prestigious event- even if it was at the hotel and not the tournament itself.

Can't wait for Colours! Pretty 'meh' about everything else, though, including the game gear titles.

Am I the only 3DS owner who's getting really sick of seeing almost nothing but platformers? Whatever happened to other genres that aren't so dependent on timing or button smashing?

Too bad I don't have an SNES. I didn't get into games until my late teens, and my first system was consequentially a Gamecube.

...Meh. Not interested in any of this. Already have Nintendogs + Cats and have played it to death.
