Probably the Acorns discount, then BvT for me, but considering the list of games I have to play and the discounts that appeared for the Guild01 games, I'll probably wait for that to go down in price.
Sounds a lot like the 33 1/3 Series for music albums. While I didn't contribute, if they publish any books on games I enjoy I'll be sure to pick them up.
Only the free stuff. I wasn't impressed enough by the original Picdun or Viking Defense to warrant getting their sequels. I'll update Yoshi, obviously, but only free stuff for me this week.
@RetroBrony91 - I see your point. I did ponder what would happen if someone else responded even more negatively to the tagline than I felt you did (I tend to do this a lot). I just tend to get defensive when people are closeminded about indie rock (even though I can honestly say I'm not that big of a Vampire Weekend fan) considering how people respond to certain elements of the indie culture. So, yeah. No sleep was lost over your comment.
I don't see how referencing a Vampire Weekend song in a review tagline is controversial. Either you get the reference or you don't; no big deal if the latter. And before you counter, I did look up contra in Urban Dictionary and found nothing wrong with any of the definitions provided.
Gonna third the Vampire Weekend tagline reference. Speaking of VW, their new album, Modern Vampires of the City, is out on May 6/7, in case anybody didn't know.
If we can shove these facts into the face of every iOS dev and get them to put more quality 3rd-party titles onto the eShop, when combined with the rumor of the "physical office" requirement going away ... I would be so happy.
Hopefully the 3DS demo will be better than than the Wii Tri one was ... maybe it was because I didn't have a CC at the time, but that version wasn't doing itself any favors.
Was wondering where this was. Anyway, once I get the cash and/or some review scores, I'll be looking at escapeVektor, PIX3D, WL2, the NSMB2 DLC, perhaps PRB and Anonymous Notes Ch. 3.
For all the trouble and last-ditch efforts they've been doing these past few months (free copy of Metro 2033 if you Like their Facebook page anyone?), can't say I'm fully surprised. Hopefully that South Park game won't be a final sendoff from them.
Ugh, those files should've included track numbering. Not that I'm incapable of doing so manually on iTunes, but not having to do so would've been better.
I'd definitely get it if it came to 3DS ... and if Terry needs to find a publisher, I'm sure Nicalis would do it, and if not them, maybe Renegade Kid. Jools seems like the type of guy who would be willing to port SH...
Eh, for me personally, who did play 999 before VLR, while it did make VLR a bit more dramatic, especially with the backstory of one of the characters, I wouldn't call playing 999 beforehand essential. With ZE3, it'll be interesting to see how they handle explaining VLR. If they make that a fully stand-alone game like VLR, kudos to Aksys for that.
Regarding the old interview: I can see why you took it down. The review and the review score didn't match imo, but I guess there was more to it than that...
Regarding this interview: Lagomorph - I see what you did there...
Encountered a screen freezing (but not save-file-deleting) bug 3x last night in the Archives room last night. Guess it'll be a glitchy playthrough then.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th September (North America)
Either Rage of the Gladiator (eventually) or Hakuoki, if that one turns out to be good.
Re: Chicago L Train Transformed to Celebrate The Year of Luigi
If only this had occurred last week ... when I was there.

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th June (North America)
Picross-e immediately, and then maybe a Game Gear title or two if they sound good in their reviews.
Re: Nintendo Setting Up Thousands Of StreetPass Relay Stations Across US And Europe
I have no idea what this means ... but I'm excited about it.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Demonstrates Super Smash Bros. in Developer Video
Guys, check at the bottom note beginning at 0:28. He's controlling all the action and cameras and talking at the same time?!? Pro.
Re: Picross e Finally Releasing This Week In North America
Is it sad that this is what I shrieked about and not anything related to yesterday?
Re: New Collection of Video Game Books Gets The Go-Ahead After Smashing Kickstarter Goal
Sounds a lot like the 33 1/3 Series for music albums. While I didn't contribute, if they publish any books on games I enjoy I'll be sure to pick them up.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th May (North America)
DM2 once I have enough money to get it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th May (North America)
Damrey eventually and S&S (probably) later.
Re: Nnooo Announces escapeVektor Sale
On my list to get; now this guarantees I will pick it up for half price.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th March 2013 (North America)
Uh, the PMD demo and Wrecking Crew update (duh), Sakura Samurai (since it's on sale and I want it), and Kersploosh! for me.
Re: Review: Splash or Crash (3DS eShop)
Definitely getting it now. I could use a new pick-up-and-play title for lighter gaming sessions.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th February 2013 (North America)
FEA DLC eventually, and the 'Vania demo too. Nothing else for me this week.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2013 (North America)
Only the free stuff. I wasn't impressed enough by the original Picdun or Viking Defense to warrant getting their sequels. I'll update Yoshi, obviously, but only free stuff for me this week.
Re: Review: Moke Moke (DSiWare)
I'm convinced. Will definitely be picking this one up now.
Re: Splash or Crash Dropping Into 3DS eShop Soon
Saw screens for this about a year-and-a-half ago @ 3ds-screenshot.com for it under the name Hyu Stone. Definitely interested in this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th February 2013 (North America)
Moke Moke (maybe), and that's it for me.

Re: More Jett Rocket II Details Hover Into View
3D at 60 fps is pretty darn sexy. Not enough to sell a game by itself, but still.
Re: Review: Super C (3DS eShop / NES)
Gonna third the Vampire Weekend tagline reference. Speaking of VW, their new album, Modern Vampires of the City, is out on May 6/7, in case anybody didn't know.
Re: Review: Ikachan (3DS eShop)
@DarkKnight - That's why it's really not up there on my list.
Re: Review: Ikachan (3DS eShop)
I'll get this for a rainy day, I guess, but since I felt shorted by VVVVVV and NightSky, it's nowhere near the top of my "games to get" list.
Re: Gunman Clive Developer: 3DS eShop Is "Healthier" Than iOS
If we can shove these facts into the face of every iOS dev and get them to put more quality 3rd-party titles onto the eShop, when combined with the rumor of the "physical office" requirement going away ... I would be so happy.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th January 2013 (Europe)
EU gets another Picross game? Not fair.
Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Getting A Demo In February
Hopefully the 3DS demo will be better than than the Wii Tri one was ... maybe it was because I didn't have a CC at the time, but that version wasn't doing itself any favors.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th January 2013 (North America)
Mobs eventually, and the FE demo as well.
Re: Review: Tokyo Crash Mobs (3DS eShop)
Oh, Mitchell Corp. made this? It's officially on my list now, weird concept excused.
Re: Enhanced Version Of Professor Layton And The Miracle Mask Releasing In Japan
If there's enough new content to justify re-purchasing it, I may consider it. It'd still probably be a no, however.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd January 2013 (North America)
Gunman Clive for me, eventually. Maybe Unchained Blades and/or Code of Princess later when I don't have a mountain of games to go through.
Re: Swords & Soldiers Battling Its Way To 3DS eShop Next Year
Well, they mentioned a demo, and given CIRCLE's hit-or-miss track record on DSiWare ... definitely demo and review before purchase.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th December 2012 (North America)
Fluidity (once I finally get points and determine this would be the best choice for that time). Nothing else is really appealing to me.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th December 2012 (North America)

Re: Rumour: iOS Smash Hit Super Hexagon Could Be Coming To 3DS
I'd definitely get it if it came to 3DS ... and if Terry needs to find a publisher, I'm sure Nicalis would do it, and if not them, maybe Renegade Kid. Jools seems like the type of guy who would be willing to port SH...
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th December 2012 (North America)
Maybe Ninja Skape or Crimson Shroud for me. Already grabbed the demos.
Re: escapeVektor Hacks Into 3DS eShop on 20th December
... Like I didn't have enough games to already get from this past holiday season. Well, guess I'll add this to the list then...
Re: Color Commando Set to Bring the Fight to DSiWare
Hopefully this'll have some replayability to it so it makes me want to come back to it, but I'll probably wind up getting it anyway.
Re: Review: Crystal Adventure (DSiWare)
Well, glad I held off on this one, though that video of it on the eShop was pretty convincing not to buy it either...
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th December 2012 (North America)
Lots of stuff to maybe get (MBJ, MotT sounds interesting, maybe that new CIRCLE game, Fractured Soul based on the demo) but nothing definitive for me.
Re: BIT.TRIP SAGA On The Way To 3DS eShop
$15? If I had only waited ... lol jk I really like it last year when it was $40.
Re: Pachter: "I think Nintendo becomes completely irrelevant"
Before we all get mad here, keep in mind this is Patcher we're talking about. Has he ever been positive about Nintendo?

Re: Fractured Soul Demo Blasting Onto North American 3DS eShop
Good to see a demo for this coming soon. Now I can really see if I want it or not.
Re: Wii U on Plenty of U.S. Christmas Lists
6-12 year olds want PSPs more than Vitas. Hopefully some other people out there are concerned about that one.
Re: Wii U Kiosks Will Allow Gamers To Try Before They Buy
Saw it at a nearby Target yesterday; didn't have time to play with it though
Re: Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward Bug Infects Save Data
Encountered a screen freezing (but not save-file-deleting) bug 3x last night in the Archives room last night. Guess it'll be a glitchy playthrough then.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st November 2012 (North America)
Only the Style Savvy demo for me (since it's free and I'm being a demo completionist). I'll be fine; I have Black 2 and VLR to keep me busy.
