Just as well I've got Kid Icarus, RE:Revelations, Ace Combat, Shinobi and RE:Mercenaries, Pullblox, Mighty Switch Force and Dillon's Rolling Western to finish!
I will not make a download purchase of a retail game, unless the price is at least 80% cheaper. I'm all for getting a bargain, but I also like physical copies of games. If I'm not getting the incentive to change to download, they can kiss my rear!
I cannot get used to any of the control schemes in Kid Icarus: Uprising. I have tried right-handed, left-handed, but still find the whole "move with the stylus" clunky and inaccurate - despite getting to chapter 10. Once I complete the single player, I cannot see me playing it much more and will look at selling it on.
I'm a bit hesitant due to being left-handed and not enjoying my time with Kid Icarus demo last year. Might have to unfortunately give this one a miss, unless I play a demo of it first.
I believe that Nintendo need to take the eShop further and make it more user friendly. I know that they like to be different with their stuff, but it needs to be easier to search for new stuff and not confusing sections of games that come under categories such as "games that would be ideal while trapped inside a box".
They need to have simple sections like:
New this week
Top 5 3DSWare Games Chart
Top 5 Virtual Console Games Chart
Top 10 Game Boy Games Chart
3DS Demos
3DSWare Games
Game Boy Games
NES Games
etc,etc
I dread each week going onto the eShop. I shouldn't feel that way, but I do unfortunately. They need to be able for people to find what they're looking for quicker - not searching random places for games they might enjoy.

This was a day one for me, until I started reading reviews.
I've read 5 reviews now and all say the same thing; good but could be a lot better.
I'm disappointed and will probably give it a miss unfortunately.
Back to RE:Revelations and KI:Uprising I go!
