Only Pokemon Rumble World for me (already downloaded and played it a bit actually). Etrian Mystery Dungeon looks interesting, but Story of Seasons has sucked me in and likely will continue to do so for some time lol.
I wish they'd remove the 10 play coin per day cap. I don't get a lot of Streetpasses, so I have to rely on play coins for the most part. And Puzzle Swap and Find Mii suck those up, so I've not purchased any of the games available nor will I likely purchase either of these.
All the Starbucks locations in my town have switched to Google. That leaves McDonald's and strangely enough Home Depot (lol). Streetpass relay can be also be finicky (I don't think I've ever gotten 6 relay hits and sometimes I don't get any at all).
From what I've read, you have to wait for a hot air balloon to re-inflate after using them to go to an area (each area requiring a different balloon). Don't know how long that takes though.
Nothing for me this week. My time will be occupied by Ultimate NES Remix from CN, and Story of Seasons, which is arriving today in the mail. Plus I'm not going to have any funds for eShop cards for a while.
I am interested in BOXBOY! and Excave II. If later on there is a lull in retail games I'm interested in, I might pick those up.
I found Rumble Blast to be extremely repetitive, so it doesn't immediately appeal to me like Shuffle did. I'll wait for more info before I decide whether or not to download.
Not really. If you could easily get the villager cards you want, I'd be tempted to acquire Axel. First ever jock villager: he changed my life when he called me ladybro.
Considering my Wi-Fi is finicky at best, and I can't play it in 3D anyway (2DS owner), looks like this'll be a pretty awesome game! Now I just need to wait until I have the funds xD
Nothing for me this week, and that's fine. I have two games I'm in the middle of to occupy my time and help with my not-so-patient wait for the Platinum CN rewards. Hoping next week they have a Story of Seasons demo (haven't ever played a Bokujou Monogatari game).
I haven't spent any money on it. A few years ago, I wasted a horrible amount of money on f2p games on Facebook. I don't know how much exactly, but I think that's probably a good thing. So I'm not spending any money on Pokemon Shuffle. Ever lol.
I haven't felt like I'm missing out on something in game by not paying either. The 5 heart limit keeps me from binging on the game to the point I'm sick of it (Pokemon Battle Trozei, I also prefer the slower gameplay of Shuffle). And I prefer to try to beat or S-rank levels without using items, so coins and Jewels earned through normal play end up accumulating.
That's embarrassing. I think if they want to promote downloading instead of buying physical, they should include a bigger microSD card. And I don't see that increasing the price of the console, Nintendo should be able to get 8 or 16 GB microSD cards pretty cheaply. As it is, don't they take a loss on the hardware and make it up with software sales?
Awesome to have the release date and price nailed down. Hopefully you can transfer something over from the demo, but if not, no biggie. It'll help making the wait shorter in any case lol
Purchased the Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars theme. If I were to get Fossil Fighters Frontier, it'd be retail/physical, but I'm waiting for reviews before I say yes/no.
I'll switch between taking a crack at this and progressing through the main game. At least my Pokemon are gaining experience as I try to top my top score.
I too would have loved this to be a competition of skill (and the ever present luck factor) and have it be item free. I could still see people paying for jewels to get more hearts, so they'd still get some money.
If it came to the west, I wouldn't buy it. The girl on the left is fine, but the others are ridiculous (even the guy's little sister!): http://www.langrisser.jp/character.html
While it would certainly be interesting if our brains do prefer left to right movement, I'd have to look at the particulars of the study to see how rigorous it is. While I find going from right to left in a platformer odd, how do I know it's not just conditioning from playing so many platformers that go left to right, as well as other things in my upbringing (such as writing left to right like others have mentioned). You see the effects of conditioning especially in Mario Kart, which is why it takes a while to get accustomed to Mirror Mode.
I haven't been that impressed with the Lego games, but I'm hoping this one (especially the 3DS version) will be good, as I absolutely love Jurassic Park (1 and 2, 3 not so much).
I can't wait for Puzzle & Dragons Z/Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition.
I don't have a Wii U, so Xenoblade Chronicles X is a no for me.
Right now I'm ambivalent towards Stella Glow, though that could change with more info (if it gets a Western release). The gameplay looks interesting but I'm not so sure about the character designs.

@No-longer-postin
We don't know that lol. Just because NoE just announced it doesn't mean NoA won't do the same.
Re: Empty Slots on Super Smash Bros. Site Suggests More Upcoming DLC Characters
Sunkern drops from the sky! Yeah no...
Smash Bros. doesn't appeal to me to the extent it used to, so all I can say about all this DLC news is eh.

I'll give this a try.

I'm not really interested in any of these (if I had to pick one: Sesame Street because nostalgia).

Hoshido most likely. I think it's stupid to go to war for glory.

Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
The only 3DS Platinum Rewards I haven't played are:
Yoshi's New Island
Mario Party: Island Tour
Ultimate NES Remix
I'm thinking of going with Ultimate NES Remix. I'm not fond of crying babies and Mario Party is more of a multiplayer experience.

The Yoshi theme. Yoshi needs more love on 3DS.

Re: Reminder: Charming New Pokémon 3DS HOME Themes Are Also Live in Europe
I'm really enjoying the Hanafuda theme. The Mega Raquaza theme looks like it'd be a good companion to the Primal Groudon/Primal Kyogre theme though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March (North America)
Pokemon: Hanafuda theme for me. I'm glad I never bought the regular Hanafuda theme, despite being tempted.
