The change in difficulty is likely by design. A lot of puzzle games do this to keep a player from becoming too frustrated...so they follow a tough puzzle with a relatively easy one. It helps with the sense of progress. I've read some designers write about it.

There's a difference between completing and perfecting. Do you really not know the difference?

@Kaze_Memaryu Relax. It's just for publicity. They're not actually going to leave it up to a "popular vote". They probably already know who they're going to add.

I can't believe this is $10. If you want Battleship on your 3DS, get Radar Mission for less than a third of this cost. Or even Sea Battle for $2. They actually have more variety than this.

The only downside I've had so far since upgrading from an original 3DS to the New 3DS XL is the battery life. I had a Nyko Power Pak battery in my OG 3DS very early on and I loved the added weight and battery time. Even always having 3D and brightness all the way up, I very rarely saw that red light.

But with the N3DS, I've seen it a few times. Often because I forget to put it on the charger when I get home (previously I would only charge it overnight). I never used to have to turn down brightness or the 3D to extend battery life, but now I often do. Poor me.

I'm seriously considering getting one of these. It's pricey, but I actually think it's worth the investment for me.

I'm going to try this for $2.

I just think they should have more 3D Classics in general. But actually pick "Classics", so yes, Super Metroid would be cool.

Sweet. I have all the regular campaign 'mons, and just need two more Expert level 'mon to catch. Now I'm going back to get S ratings on all levels. This will help.

10/10.

I don't know why it asked me what hours of the day nobody is at my home, but I answered anyway because I love this site so much.

Uh....well of course eBay is going to promote scalping. That's kind of their thing.

Good review. One thing--there are more than 10 Expert stages. I've unlocked 15 and I'm on stage 135.

At the current prices, spending real money on jewels just isn't worth it for me. I'm enjoying using my five hearts, then letting them replenish and playing a few hours later. Good enough for me.

Last week saw some fantastic games come out, so it's okay if this week isn't AMAZING. Chill.

Thanks for the guide! Transfer complete.

I am! Got it today. Tried for a Majora Mask edition, but I'm digging this black one.

This is a developer that we should all support more.

@JaxonH Thanks for the info.

Has anyone else transferred wirelessly? I've seen two differing reports on how long it takes. One person said 4 gbs took about an hour. Another person said 4 gbs took closer to 5. That seems insanely long.

Can anyone else who has done a wireless transfer remember how long it took?

I'm a big fan of both Gunman Clive games. I'm happy for Hörberg's success. For their low price, everyone should get these games.

3 stars? Maybe you're confusing it with another game.

Wow, the boss fights are a lot harder playing as Chieftain Bob. I dig it.

@Kaze_Memaryu Respectfully, there is no way you 100%ed all three characters in two hours. I assume you are not including No Hit Runs and Speed Badges.

The only thing I can assume you mean is you beat it with all three characters on Easy in two hours, and even that seems highly unlikely for the first time through the game.

Anyway, after playing Gunman Clive 2 some more, I actually prefer it to the original, which is saying something. Much more dynamic gameplay, variety of environments, and I really like the visuals. 9/10 is just right, especially considering it's only $3.

I also laughed at the homage to a certain puzzle game. Love those little surprises.

Downloaded it, have already played the first five levels, and it's been worth the wait. Really fun. Love the mix of gameplay in this one so far.

I'll be downloading this in, oh, two hours.

@the_shpydar ;^*

I enjoyed it, though as I played it definitely had that budget feel based on backgrounds and the way the character moved. The screenshots definitely show a visual improvement.

First hour buy for me.

That was a fun read.

@FritzFrapp Thank you for posting that. At work, so many images are unavailable so it had been hard to find anything.

Thank you!

What color is the inside of the Majora's Mask edition? I assume black, but don't know for sure and I haven't found any pictures.

@WaveyChristmas It is fantastic, and my kids love it. They watched it like 10 times leading up to Christmas. I remember my parents recorded it when it aired in the 80s and we would watch it every year. Too bad they only broadcasted it like twice.

@WaveyChristmas Just wanted to say that I watch that California Raisins Claymation Christmas Special every single year. I own it on DVD. It's awesome!

I don't like that the wireless switch now requires a trip to the Home Screen. Sometimes I use it to get off of online play fast in particularly laggy/glitchy games, but you usually can't even access the Home screen in those situations.

Still, a minor gripe, I suppose. I'm a big fan of the 3D effect (I have it on 100% almost all of the time), so I'm glad to see it becoming more stable.

Going to Best Buy today to pre-order the Majora's Mask one, if they're still accepting them.

YAY!

After this comes out in the US, if anyone ever gets this and they want a human opponent, ask to add me.

@Quorthon Are you okay? I'm worried.

Day 1 buy, no matter when it comes.

Also, it's not a "rip-off" of Mega Man, but more an homage to that and many other classic video games. But not in a "hey look, references!" type of way. It just emulates the gameplay. It's a fun game.

"These people are perfectly entitled to do this, but that doesn't mean it's not cynical capitalism at its worst."

Uh, a touch overstated. I can think of far worse examples. Instances where, for example, lives are in play.

It's a video game system.

I loved arcades when I was a kid. Of those ten, I spent a lot of quarters on Street Fighter II, both Mortal Kombats, and NBA Jam. The first time I saw Mortal Kombat at a nearby gas station I was mesmerized. I would spend the next several months there nearly everyday with my friends.

Boy, this is a weird thing to hate people over. We don't know their situation, nor does it matter.

It's Qwerkle basically (except with bonus squares and five symbols/colors rather than six) which is a fun board game against a good opponent. That's rare for me to find in person, so I'll get this when it hits NA. Even against AI it sounds fun. Puzzle mode sounds interesting, too.

Why is "One Handed Gameplay" used as a selling point in that trailer?

Keep up the good work, Renegade Kid. I'm a fan.

I have all of these except Weapon Shoppe. Finally time to finish my digital Guild collection.

@rjejr Friday Monsters is definitely worth the $3. That's my favorite of all these games. It's short, but sweet.

The outrage over the change was silly to me. 4.0 didn't change the Dive/Surface speed, just the angle. I kind of liked it because it made it easier to see incoming torps. I think it made people /feel/ like the D/S was slower, so they complained.

Still, I love this game and it's great to see it continually get support. Hope 5.0 is in the works.

Very cool. My collection is nearly complete.

The 3DS version sold 400,000 copies? Wow, I knew it did well but I didn't know it was that high.
