I kinda almost wish I had a WiiU with which to play Chasing Aurora. None of the e-shop offerings are all that tantalizing. More Circle shovelware, a frantic, unfair puzzle game, or a sickeningly dizzying racing game.
Yeeeeaaaah, nothing for me. Still holding out hope for Harvest Moon GBC to come soon.
@Damo- I agree with you, dude. I also like the kickstarter coverage because it introduces me to small game projects- some of which I'm interested in. I now own a limited edition Diamond Trust of London thanks to Nintendo Life, A jewel I'd never have found on my own.
I'm really looking forward to this one. I liked Crimson Shroud pretty well (except for the WTF ending) so I'm eager to see more Guild projects. They all seem so artistically done and with much love put into them.
@zipmon Thanks so much for the info! I'll have to give this one a try then. I adored the tricky puzzles in Catrap so this does sound right up my alley.
@zipmon- I liked Rabi Laby but it was too hard for me (sad, I know). O_O I'd say DodoGo was my favourite. I liked Zoonies and Catrap an awful lot too. I don't know if Castle of Magic or Shantae: RR count as puzzle-platformers or just plain platformers, but I loved those as well. Minis March Again and Mighty Switch Force were awfully fun, but much too hard for me a little over halfway in.
I've already upgraded my SD card about 4 times. I now have a 32GB for my 3DS. Frankly, I'd rather go buy a bigger SD card if I need it than buy memory on the system that I might never use.
@grumblegrumble- It's similar to XL, but features some new puzzles that I found to be a bit more challenging than what was in XL. Definitely a cerebral workout at times and I'm quite pleased with it. I'm no reviewer, but that's my 2¢.
That's it, instead of always playing as Pikachu, I am now switching to Luigi. It will be even more humiliating to the men to be beaten by a girl doing nothing as when I beat them as a yellow puffball.
BTW I'm betting that the BearShark announcement is that it's becoming a video game in the 3DS E-shop, which I saw when I did a search on '3D.' A Dinosaur Office game I might play, but I don't care for BearShark.
Will be getting the 3DS version of Puzzler World 2013. Thinking about Acorns, but I'm not so sure about that one. I was so hoping for HM GBC, but we just get a DL of TT, which I already have the carts for for both DS & 3DS.
It looks cute but kind of frantic. When I saw the title I guess I expected an actual fishing game instead of an arcade style game. Still kind of interested, though. I hope it comes to NA.
Will be picking up Castlevania, most likely, along with the Colours! update. Pretty good week. Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove has me interested, but I'm not sure I want it.
Loved the HM series since I started with Mineral Town. A New Beginning is my most-played game on my 3DS at over 300hrs so I'm really looking forward to tasting some of the earlier entries.
Ooooh, I'll have to pick these up sometime! LOVED Theatrythm, but was always slightly annoyed that I was too intent on playing to really appreciate the music.
Anyone have trouble with their 3DS reading the SD card after the update? I had to attempt my Prof Layton download 4 times before it worked because the 3DS XL kept saying it couldn't read the SD card after I chose 'download later.' It's working now (thank goodness!) but I'm not sure if that was an update issue or if I somehow got dust in my SD card slot.
The demo seemed okay, but I have no rhythm whatsoever, so I couldn't even finish the demo (pathetic, I know). Guess I'm passing on this, as much as I would have liked to play it.
As soon as I saw this in the e-shop last thurs, I thought of Q*Bert. I never could get into Q*Bert back in the day, and other than Bird Mania, I'm not much of an endless runner person, so I'll pass. At least Circle finally did a decent game.
Getting the 3DS version tomorrow. I'm a little daunted by the difficulty level (this will be my first MH experience) but I'm more than willing to give it a whirl.
I'm one of the consumers turned off at the high price. In fact, at this point I don't even think a new Zelda title would entice me. I still haven't played my copy of Skyward Sword.
It doesn't help that I got a new PS3 for Christmas. Considering it's my first PS experience, I'll be busy with FFVII, Kingdom Hearts, Tales of Graces F and all the other PS games I've missed out on over the years.
Already pre-ordered the cart of MH3U 3D and I've had the cart for Reel Fishing Paradise 3D for aeons, so no retail downloads for me. MIGHT look into Forgotten Legions if it looks decent. Definitely DLing the HarmoKnight demo. It looks like so much fun, but I think it might be too hard for me (I suck at good timing... it's a freakin' miracle that I managed to beat Sakura Samurai).
This looks interesting... but too bad the only footage out there says absolutely nothing about the game. Will check it out today in the e-shop; hopefully it'll look decent and have some more solid information than a cheesy intro sequence.
I admit I get curious about the score so much that I look there first, then read the conclusion, and if I get curious about what's written in the conclusion, I read the whole review. I try not to disagree too much with the reviewer scores, but sometimes I give my two cents about what I think it should be, but that's solely MY opinion- I'm not disagreeing with the reviewer, just sharing my viewpoint. I don't think I've ever said the reviewer was wrong to give their score (because they're not), but sometimes I like to share mine, as well.
So excited! While I have both original carts, I wasn't able to get very far because I essentially suck at old-school games. I could never beat that second boss in Ages, so I can't wait for restore points!

I guess I'm a modern gamer. I like games that I can finish without screaming at them. To me video games are for de-stressing, not to be frustrating.
What they should do is have optional tutorials/ hand-holding. Something that you select at the beginning of the game or something.
