@outburst Tetris Axis and Bust-a-move universe is available on cartridge. Some of the others I listed, the codes can be bought on retail. As far as I know, you don't have to connect your NNID to the eshop unless they've changed it lately.
@outburst Bust-a-Move Universe, Tetris(Any), Pokemon Battle Trozei, Mario and Donkey Kong Minis on the Move, Pushmo? All I can think of are puzzlers at the moment. Their all simple but increase in difficulty. She may be 7 but I bet she'll adapt well, puzzles are good for development.
@CaviarMeths Maybe it's just the style she likes to play in. I hope she doesn't let any negative comments get her down. Constructive criticism is fine, outright hate is wrong. If she needs improvement, I hope she improves herself.
@HyperSonicEXE It's not what I was talking about necessarily. There is a MMO based on gods and goddesses from many cultures. The designs are or were based on historical designs and powers that match their folklore. Well people started complaining about it, what I meant by "used to". Now they just have a shallow stereotype version of the character people were complaining about.
@CaviarMeths Ahem, maybe she likes dressing up. Why judge people because they like to share more than just the talent. Hey, at least she is not doing stuff for shock value like everyone else. She gives more drama when she moves, dresses to fit the song and even looks for perfect location near where she's going to be. If she just sat in a chair, she would not be herself.
@HyperSonicEXE I hope it doesn't get in the way of Shantae either. I am a tad worried about artistic expression, why would they treat artistic expression like it was a sin to humanity or "woman kind". Like I say a lot; You cannot tell people how to express themselves but all you can do is make the art that you want. If you don't like a product or the colour marketed for your gender, you have a choice not to buy or choose the other colour selections in the men's. As consumers there is infinite possibilities. You can't go around telling people that there is something wrong with them because they like playing these games or playing a certain character. There is also the parents these days, it's up to them to do the parenting not up to the industry. Games like Senran Kagura have an appropriate cover because it kind of tells the content of the game besides the fighting. Don't know why people make such a big deal about retail covers when they are accurate.
@Yorumi I wasn't making a justification. I was just saying that there are worse. We live in world of odd sexualism and fetishes. In anime, male characters more likely get beat up for even attempting what most female characters get away with. There is a little female empowerment, in playing a character we like aesthetically and move set wise that people may find offensive, sexually objectified and just plain unrealistic. We all objectify and we'd be hypocrites to curse men to death just because they may objectify woman.
@theblackdragon Amen! Also leaving room for social justice nuts and special snowflakes flaming looking for attention and them not taking responsibility for their trolling. Is an issue. When you block them they may go into playing the victim and martyr, calling on their army. They're like 4chan. D:
@boxmonkey Unless you're being sarcastic, bad idea. We live in a world where woman, are different shapes and sizes. The SG girls are not terribly unrealistic.
@Squiggle55 Yes the make games with sexualized men, they just don't go beyond shirtless and with underwear because with exceptions. Men are funny naked to both genders, as does unrealistically sized genitals. Woman have big breast, natural to fake and they appeal to both genders.
@bossbattles AMEN
Honestly, People that complain about this game have not seen Queen's Blade which has an episode where a character pretty much gets raped during a fight. QB is an anime about a woman only fighting tournament.
Despite being a bit kinky, SK is nothing. Although it is rather typical in harem genre of anime for there to be at least one female character that has the privilege to molest another female, whether it's accidental, playful or lust.
Perhaps Pokemon B/W/2 might have some exceptions because they are newer games. Although nintendo can release them out on eshop and patch it up to work with the new servers. If they do anything like that, they probably should make it $10-$15.
He is correct to an extent, but it's more where people want to save a few bucks(if it's tax free in their region) and also may not have the time. However I myself prefer physical retail copies when it comes to some games because of the bonuses, pride and possible future value if I can pull myself to sell anything, I collect it if I love it (I wish I got a retail copy of FE:A).
@Gioku no, it's more like Nintendo blocked it or the system itself already had the code. That was apparently used to kill flashcarts or illegal game copies.
@LoZ4life98 actually no one here sugarcoats. Most of the time, A lot of industry analyst are wrong. Some are just bias and kind of forget that Nintendo always makes a comeback. Even when Universal tried to ruin them.
It's definitely not in America yet. If they wanted to get away with lower quality. They could have released it for DSi a long time ago. LOL. I wouldn't mind giving YouTube 3DS a try. Though I have my phone, media player and Wii (Whenever I get a new controller) to compete with it.
@MarioMan247 Can't help but to agree. LOL. My reply was regarding how bad the media is and the buildup of old information that people tend to use it against it. G4 and GI are similar in that case. I'm glad Esquire bought the channel however I wish G$ gets their act together.
@Fazermint You're right on spot. I can use this case and compare it to 3DS. My friend was complaining about how long his game was taking it to load. Using it as an excuse to say how inferior it is in comparison to Vita. His main complaint was a misconception — he didn't know you can let games download in the background.
I agree to an extent that Witch and Hero is bad but it serves as a bit of an amusement. The demo alone, I maxed out the stats. Thats one of the things that makes it horrible. It will keep kids occupied, that's for sure.
@cdude I agree but it's kind of been that way for years with price cuts but without the comp for buying it at launch. So I think it might be lack of appropriate pricing. Though if no one bought it at launch, "over-priced" or not, no problems would be fixed and the company will go under.

Re: Soapbox: Ignoring The Objectification Of Women In Games Won't Make the Problem Go Away
@ShadJV It is an international site. Whether they review an US or UK game, it counts as a review of that game.
