@Windy You have to update your system, and then pass a Nintendo Zone while your 3DS is in sleep mode (and hope someone else has done this before you). You do not have to log into the Nintendo Zone app at all.

I enjoy the games, but my major gripe remains. They need to raise the Play Coin limit now that there are so many games that use them. 10 a day is not enough.

Jump Trials Extreme was actually pretty good for $2. I preferred it to 10 second Run because there were more levels and gaming modes. Online leaderboards are nice, too. If this is priced similarly, I'll get it.

Abandon ship!!

This has been on my radar for a little while now, and looks like it has a lot of potential. Unless a review comes out saying it's broken, I'll be buying it.

Yay. Been waiting a year for this.

It started at $30 late last year, so it's dropped 83% of it's original price. I may get it because I've never even played the game and right now I basically only play on handhelds. Plus you get 30 CN coins

There a few other retail games that have seen huge price cuts on the eShop. That American Mensa Society game went from $30 to $4. It's actually decent at that price, and again, you get full CN coins from it (30).

I hope this is true. Been waiting for this to upgrade.

Would buy first day. What zerk said, the 3D adds a lot to the gameplay for me.

You want big Picross puzzles?

Here you go!

@thesilverbrick If only we all could be a "one-trick pony" with a trick that successful.

It's so predictable how much hate Rovio gets. It's now the norm to try to tear down people who are successful, especially people who we don't think deserve it. I have to imagine jealousy plays a role.

I enjoy Angry Birds Star Wars.

Quick, NintendoLifers, a Pachter mention!

Get in here!

Everyone should get Mighty Switch Force for $4 if you don't already have it.

@SCAR392 "Just wait until PS4 and Xbox One come out. That's when Nintendo will take action."

Yup, and that action might be firing Iwata.

Why would you wait until other companies do something to act?

That's funny. "Vote for the Worst" campaigns are spreading.

Thanks for the rundown. The Garden one seems virtually pointless, but I'll wind up getting it when it comes to NA because the other three look interesting enough and I'll just buy the pack. I get a decent number of StreetPass hits so I could see myself having fun with these. Battle looks the best, though it looks to have limitations.

@undead_terror Two different games. The DS Sonic Collection had the Genesis Sonics, this is the Gamegear Sonic.

But this was a part of the year of Luigi because, you know, Luigi is in the game. Noooooo!

Not sure why people seem so confused about the score. Reading the review, it's made pretty clear why the game nets a lower score than the original even though the game is so similar. The first one had the challenge of trying to figure out specific puzzles. If nearly identical puzzles are included in the sequel, that takes away the challenge, mystery, and "ah ha!" moments from the original. I could definitely see that costing the game a couple of rating points.

If the game had unique puzzles in each level, I'm sure it would have earned a higher score.

Really good review, hashing out whether it's worth a pick up. Based on what I'm reading here, I'm still going to get it because I loved the speed running aspect of the first game. It's disappointing that they don't seem to the use the water mechanic to its full potential, but I loved the first one and I love portable platformers so I think it'll be worth the $6.

LOL at these comments. Called it.

This is the exact type of Mario game the Wii U needs to attract buyers. You all are not the target.

Haha, based on the amount of bashing Super Mario 3D Land gets from users on this site (overrated! unoriginal! too easy!) this announcement is going to whip them into a frenzy. Especially since there was all this speculation of a Super Mario Universe or something. Oh man, can't wait to read the negative reaction.

Meanwhile, this is the exact type of easily-accessible game to attract more casuals (the majority of people who buy consoles and video games) to pick up a Wii U. It worked for the 3DS two Decembers ago with the release of 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. It may work again.

"...mostly influenced by the "Test Your Mind" bonus game in Mortal Kombat."

Test Your Might*

If this were two or three bucks, I'd probably get it.

Sounds good to me. Retro Game Challenge was pretty fun. The other day I was thinking it would be cool to have a 3DS version.

This is the first time I can remember nothing coming out for the 3DS eShop. Retail download doesn't count.

Day one download. Happy it's coming earlier than I expected.

I would have liked to hear a little more about the multiplayer aspect of the game. I heard there are mini-games or something to play against each other?

Fire Emblem: Awakening is my favorite. I just passed 200 hours on it, and I still have more I want to accomplish. My play time has slowed down, but it's a game I know I'll be picking up from time to time for the next few years.

Loved Gunman Clive, so I'll be supporting Horberg's next game.

I appreciate the review. Saved me $7.

This game was packaged with the N64 I got way back when. I played it so much. It blew my mind.

@Gameday Ha, I was just kidding. I don't think you can spoil a 25 year old game.

And if people are playing Mario games for the story, I feel bad for them. Spoil away!

@Shiryu "And it shall forever be know in European history as "T-Day"."

I think you mean "A-Day".

Pyramids is like a baby version of Solomon's Key. I enjoyed it, but Pyramids isn't nearly as difficult as Solomon's Key.

Solomon's Key requires much more thought and skill. That's why I think it's the better game. I hope they release this on the 3DS eShop.

@Gameday Spoiler alert!

I was hoping to get this on the 3DS soon. The title got me all excited until I read "Wii U".

I appreciate you pointing out different kickstarter campaigns. I don't frequent many video game-related sites, so I wouldn't be aware of any of them if not for this site.

It's also nice to hear that people are developing games for the Wii U and 3DS...not sure what the downside is. It's so easy to ignore the articles you have no interest in.

It's too bad that the 3D is not used better. This had the potential to have some good 3D visuals. Oh well. I always get my money's worth out of the other entries to the series, so I'll be downloading this tomorrow anyway.

I love those Genesis Sonics so much. I'd download this instantly.

The addition of a spin dash retrofits one of the weaknesses of the first. I'd love to play it again and see how it makes a difference on certain levels.

Doesn't a movie at least have to be released to be considered a "blockbuster"?

I'm guessing this game will suck.

I had never even played a Mega Man game until the first one was released on the 3DS VC a couple of months back. I know, I was such a deprived child! (and I don't do the emulation thing).

I say that because I see people saying even a 7 out of 10 is overrated for this game. It's not. I really enjoyed it, and that's without seeing it through the lens of nostalgia. I think it's a solid 8 game. It's a challenging platformer that gives you a sense of gaming accomplishment after beating it. After I finally beat it (without save states) I felt satisfied that I had conquered a fairly well-designed, difficult game.

From my Mega Man newb point of view, it's not overrated at all.

This is the one that interested me the most, and I'm glad to see it will be available so soon. I definitely thought I would have to wait longer.

Looks like it could really immerse the player into the game if the 3D is done well.

I love the game and have bought all the DLC. I do think the maps are a touch over-priced for the rewards you get out of them, but I've still enjoyed them all. I'm glad they've included how many turns it has taken you to beat the map--that adds replay value trying to beat it faster.

I do wish I could replay some of the in-game maps though, with enemies in their original places. I thought Reeking Box did that, but all it does is throw some Risen on a map.

@Morphtorok Nope, it's even mentioned in this article.

It's obviously fan service.

@Harrison_Peter "I don't agree that it's the 'what you don't see' that makes the NA image racier... as pointed out by people all over the web, it's the fact that it looks like a cape, as if someone is watching her undress and she's just realised."

And that's exactly what is happening. She's changing into a bathing suit when Anna walks in on here and then a conversation about Tharja's body commences.

I've played the DLC, and it's more funny than anything. The conversations are silly in a fun way.

I always find it hilarious that this country freaks out over a little skin or the f-bomb, but is perfectly fine allowing TV shows and games show heads getting ripped off and endless blood and killing. Aw well.

This is an awesome day. I already have so many of these discounted games, but there are a few I can now download. I'm really digging all these sales.

@sinalefa Sakura already had a discount a couple months ago.

I'm glad to hear it came out well. From the video and description, it seemed like it was a fun twist on the genre, but I was waiting for a review to see if it played well. I'm definitely buying this when I get home. I love having puzzlers like this on my 3DS.

Excited to hear your next project will be on the 3DS, Hugo.

I was waiting for a Nano Assault EX drop in price. I will buy it now.

Art of Balance is also worth it. I bought it at full price and have no regrets.
