I got Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove. Was only $2, looked pretty cute and I like rhythm games so why not. Might get VVVVV. Definitely getting that Mighty Switch Force theme.

Guess I'm finally getting SF4.

Ugggh, just give me 3D Classic Eternal Champions so I can stop caring.

Well, procrastination does pay off sometimes lol.

Just ordered the Retro Mario shirt. Got 125 coins left now, hope some games get knocked down so I can use them (and I really don't want the other physical items).

Oooooh... yeaaaahh! Totally getting this. Eventually I'm going to have start putting themes on shuffle so they can all get the face time they deserve.

@SanderEvers @Edwards Since the Megas usually go to fully evolved Pokemon it'd actually be Mega Raichu... which isn't a bad idea now that I think about it.

Nothing for me but that's okay, I'm knee deep in Story of Seasons and still have some games I bought from previous weeks that haven't been touched.

I was sold at "from the producer of Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, and Story of Seasons".

@MasterBlaster

LOL

Seriously sucks for those workers though. Would have thought they'd expand rather than downsize but guess they want to take full advantage of Ninty's resources.

@ACK

Thanks for clarifying. I still want the Inkling amiibo but its nice to know I won't be missing out on anything special if I get unlucky with my search or choose to keep them NIB.

@aaronsullivan

+100 for everything you said.

I just bought Runny Egg because something about the gameplay reminds me of old school Sonic. Plus, egg puns. Also the delicious egg puns.

Would pick up Tomodachi Life too but I'm just short of a few dollars and really can't afford to load up $10 into the eshop right now.

The developers being 90's kids/teens isn't surprising at all. Everything about Splatoon oozes that cool, snarky, anti-authoritative, zany, bubblegum-popping style of the 90's. Probably why I can't help but be attracted to this game even though I'm traditionally not a shooter or multiplayer type gamer.

Sweet.

GameInformer went with Deux Ex for their May cover but hopefully Splatoon gets a nice spread or is June's featured.

@JellySplat

TRU released them around that time. Guess you were like me and mistakenly believed the links would actually show up on the amiibo page and not under the much more vague nintendo results. I went to bed livid.

I didn't watch the Direct since I was knee deep in paper (which I may or may not get credit for grumblegrumble) but the news met my expectations and even had some pleasant surprises like Fatal Frame and SMTxFE bringing bought back from the undead. Also Inkling amiibo hecks yes.

So I'd say it was a good one. A bit more than I expected in what will likely be their last direct to announce before E3.

Crap, they're totally dragging their feet with this. Thank Jesus (literally) for Good Friday, I can actually afford to stay up until they do put him up there. However, I'm quite tired from moving all day so I'm not sure if my body is up an all nighter.

Toys R Us are trolling. Refresh. 21 results. Refresh again. 22 results. No Greninja. Refresh again. 21 results. Refresh. 22 results. Still no Greninja.

I am not amused.

Guess the exclusivity benefits me this time since I only want Greninja and I'm usually still wide awake at midnight. Just an hour and a half to go before I go Brock Lesnar beast mode and F5 that page into oblivion.

Bayonetta is the only correct vote.

They're so adorable zomg. <3

I want to be in the "enough remakes!" club but the games that get remade are ones I never played and a remake means I'm getting the best version of the game available so...

Yikes. Awful week but can't complain since I'm still sated from those sales two weeks ago and gotta save for Story of Seasons next week anyway.

I wish that racist blackface **** would go to Mars. Hopefully she forgets her oxygen tank.

Welp, guess I'm not missing out on anything by skipping this then. Being able to choose what you want to do each day without any specific tasks to worry about and the dating system based on conversation/gifts is what I loved about Harvest Moon DS (the only one in the series I've played). So this game doesn't sound like it's for me at all.

Looking forward to Story of Seasons next week.

Still say they should have released this on Android/iOS instead and now that we know they're going into that market, the decision to put it on the 3DS makes even less sense to me in hindsight. But oh well, good for them.

@Ichiban

Basically said all needed to be said in this article.

God my head hurts. Doesn't matter what day, time, or the nature of the news article if it even mentions the Wii U it's going to be the same few people dominating the comments back and forth sending it to H E double hockey sticks. I've really got to learn to just stick to the game articles.

Laaaaaaaaaaamme.

Netflix has been putting out quality material, this would be a great avenue for Nintendo to promote their properties if handle correctly but whatever. :-/

Sweet! Never got around to buying the previous installment though I really enjoyed the demo. I'll be sure to get this one if it makes it over here.

Lol, don't check the site for one day and come back to all this news. Now how am I supposed to sleep tonight?

I'm mostly excited and a little scared but it's good to see Nintendo taking such bold action. I hope they get it just right and the gambles pay off.

Doesn't mention the 'find amiibo stock' meta-game

LOL nice one.

Great week! My wallet doesn't agree though. lol

Getting the Phoenix Wright trilogy for sure, 3D Outrun, and Mighty Switch Force. I might get Dual Destinies too later on when I have a bit more cash. Not sure about Shantae and STEAM as they don't seem like games I'll get around to playing anytime soon.

The artwork is really good at least...

@Windy

All the songs are the original Japanese release, they just have subtitles at the bottom.

@DinoFett

Eh I'm fine with where her US popularity is at right now. As long as she's popular enough to hold concerts, conventions, and have more of her music showing up on digital stores and the games localized then that's all I can ask for as a fan. Most of the appeal of vocaloid is the large user generated community, when the software catches on in the States is when I reckon we might start seeing some significant spike in popularity.

@Kirk

Agreed, I was just thinking the same reading this. As nice as it is to hear the Shovel Knight and Gunman Clive type stories it really doesn't paint an accurate picture of what typically happens in this arena. Hope is good, but it has to go down with a much larger dosage of reality.

Shame because this looks like a charming game. Maybe Nintendo will feature it in an indie spot during their next direct.

LOL

This was pretty funny while remaining completely accurate the situation. They did a good job.

LOL that voice acting.

Seems like a cool game though, I like the music at least.

OH GOD PLEASE BE TRUE.

Idc if I have to skip class, I'd be on standby preorder for Greninja and Squidgirl.

SEGA, I will mail my money to your doorstep if you would give us 3D Eternal Champions.

Oh and hope Sonic 2 is coming up. Haven't bought that game in a while, I need another excuse to throw money at it.

Guess I'll download the Azure Striker demo since I still haven't bought it.

Will wait for the review before I decide if Mario v. DK is worth $20.

Hmm, at that price I may buy the first MSF. Not sure about Shantae though, if it were 50% off then I'd go for it.

Glad I'm not the only one that always hated the PS3 store. Haven't had to the chance to use the PS4 store firsthand yet but from what I've seen, it seems like a vast improvement.

I adore the 3DS store. The interface is so cute, easy to use, and the music just really sets the 'playtime' mood.

Not my type of game but these guys seem cool so I'll at least download the free version.

I'm not a big FF fan but I absolutely adore Curtain Call. So even though I never played DQ, this would be an instant buy for me if it made it overseas.

Nintendo and SEGA should get in on this series too. A Theatrhythm: Zelda would literally print money and a Theatrhythm: Sonic the Hedgehog would probably become one of my all time favorite games.

Lol, I'm subscribed to the channel and was just about to check this video out. Pretty cool stuff as usual.

@DarkKirby

LOL that was great. I especially loved "No, it has to be just barely fun, if it were TOO fun there'd be no reason to micropay to make it more fun". It seems exaggerated for comedy but it's pretty on point.

I'm just confused as to why they even bothered putting this on the 3DS when we already had Trozei. This would have been better suited as a venture in the Android/iOS world to milk the audience without a 3DS.

Omg, I love all of these and the titles.... LOL .

You got something here for everyone too: hetero, homo, androgyny... bestiality?

Don't really care either way but I wouldn't be surprised. The only additions I want to see are Bayonetta and the Squid kids.

No. And unless they release a Pokemon Snap remake as an exclusive then chances are good that I won't be adopting one at all.

That third Kirby one would match my current Kirby case perfectly. They're all super adorbs though. <3
