Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

@Tops: I bought (mainly for the Mighty Gun volt deal) and I enjoyed it. I was skeptical at first but I never played a Zero game so I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. I decided to give it a try and I really really enjoyed it. The story is interesting the bosses are pretty fun and I do really enjoy the tag system of attacking. It's a bit odd to get use to at first but once you do its second nature. The ability to get upgrades is great too so it gives you a sense of getting more powerful. There are added challenges in each level like doing a no damage run but if you don't accomplish it it doesn't hurt you in the end run its there mainly for replay value.

For the price tag I think it's worth it with the amount of content. Of course if you are iffy on the price you can just wait for a sale.

Gunvolt actually plays nothing like Mega Man Zero. At all. It looks similar, but it's a completely different game. I haven't played the demo, but unless it's a bad demo, I'm pretty sure Waveboy has no idea what he's talking about...

Really?? I wonder why so many people say that then? As I said I can't say that since I never played a Zero game.

Hi everyone, just wondering if I could get your thoughts on two games - Azure Striker Gunvolt & Shantae & the Pirates Curse if that's no problem.

Had my eye on these two for a while & although I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles 3D on Thursday (enjoying it so far, a few niggles aside) thought a good fun platformer would be nice to break it up in-between. So out of the two above, what would you recommend, content wise, value for money, fun factor etc?

Or should I just stick with Rayman Origins (which I love anyway) for the time being and wait for a sale?
Thanks

Shantae went on sale a few weeks ago so another may not happen for awhile, if you're in Europe then you should pick up Azure now as you'll get a free game of Mighty Gunvolt as well.

Would anyone recommend either The Legend of Dark Witch or Zombie Panic in Wonderland DX at their current EU sale prices (£2.60 & £4.49)? I got a soft spot for games that use anime style visuals but I just don't feel all that heavily drawn to these plus the savings via the sales aren't all that great.

@ arronishere

Thanks for the suggestion
I think the Mighty Gunvolt offer lasts til June so I'll probably pick it up before then anyway.

And for those who also have lots of eshop games, which ones that I don't have would you recommend?

Okay of the two which has a more lasting appeal: Conception 2 or devil summoner: soul hackers ? There both in sale this week but I can't afford both.

All 3DS and Wii U Nicalis games are 50% off now

Yeah, when I saw that I went and bought Cave Story. I never really thought about it before, but when I saw it was on sale I just randomly decided that I should buy it!

I bought Cave Story too, I own it on Wii Ware, but I so rarely get to play in Wii Mode that I decided $5 for a portable version would be worth it lol

I'm tempted to get Yumi's Odd Odyssey and Hometown Story since they're both on sale right now. Anybody got any feedback on them?

I have a 3DS

Thank you. Yume is definitely one I'm gonna grab (I narrowly missed the sale last time ). I think I'll watch some gameplay of Hometown Story, though. I've heard mixed things all around...

EDIT: SOLD

Has anyone played Mercenaries Saga 2 and/or Swords & Darkness? Was thinking of picking one up today but not sure what one, I really enjoyed the Swords & Darkness demo but Mercenaries Saga 2 looks fun too!

Someone please help me choose my next buy. I'm torn between:

Shantae
NightSky
Shovel Knight
Wario Land 3
Yumi's Odd Odyssey
Attack of the Friday Monsters
Donkey Kong Land

I Want both Code Of Princess and Yumis Odd Odyssey,Only problem is I've only 15 quid on my account and can't put money into it till Monday (I hate being a grown up with bills😫) So which should I get ,Or maybe you think I should avoid them both,Any help would be appreciated.

@CapnKael: Shovel Knight is amazing, My favourite game on the E shop,Also if you haven't played them I recommend both Gunman clive games.

I would like to recommend Flick Golf 3D which was recently released. Here is my review:

If you like arcade-y, score attack sports games then this is pretty good. Despite its simplicity I think it's fun and addictive and worth your time. A recommendation from me!
