While I kind of enjoyed Lost Valley, I don't recommend it and I wouldn't call it a good game. I'm surprised that Natsume considers it a success. I wonder if it sold really well?

This is disappointing. I like the 3DS one but I'd rather play on the Gamepad/TV. Sketchpad only has pastels and coloured pencils which are a little difficult to get used to. I'd rather have paints and lessons and everything that the 3DS one has.

Weird choice of banner image. That's from the Gamecube game A Wonderful Life.

I played it on Steam but I'll get it again on Wii U to support it. There was a bunch of extra stuff that I didn't find while playing the first time.

I bought this and I agree that it's a great single player game. I'm pretty bad at chess so I'm enjoying playing against the computer. I likely won't bother with online.

I imported Band Bros in the early days of the DS. I'd love to see the sequel localized (not likely to happen though).

Game & Wario doesn't look as strong as Wario Ware games, but I think it will be worth owning.

The Wii U doesn't need a price cut. It's $100 cheaper than the PS4 ($200 cheaper than the XBone), has free online, supports used games, complete backwards compatibility with the Wii (including wii-ware and virtual console titles), no DRM, and some cool features like miiverse and netflix etc. It also has (or will have) great games that are guaranteed not to appear on other systems.

The Wii U just needs more games. I know a lot of people who are getting a Wii U, but they don't want one right now because there's not a lot of games for it. Personally I already have six retail Wii U games, plus a bunch of downloadable ones.

Picross!!

I'll get Mighty Switch Force 2 eventually, but not right away.

I was planning on buying digital, but a local store broke the street date by five days and I couldn't resist buying it early.

In the Gamecube AC, I enjoyed collecting the NES games more than actually playing them. And on April Fools Day Tortimor gives you a fake NES game. It was a good trick.

They were a nice addition but we don't need them now.

My top three are Harvest Moon A New Beginning, Virtue's Last Reward, and Final Fantasy Theatrhythm

Oh man I loved Touch Detective! Such a weird game.

I'm getting Denpa Men 2, both Oracle games, Megaman X (and I guess Ghost and Goblins too), and possibly Toki Tori.

This game looks great. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it when it's released for the Wii U.

I'm really interested in this game. I may buy it now, or wait for it to go on sale.

I don't like censorship, but it would be nice if there was less nudity/near-nudity in video games altogether. It turns women away from video games and makes men look like horny 13-year-olds.

I always hear the argument that "sex sells" but did you know you can get porn for free from the internet instead of buying a $50 game featuring cleavage? It's true! There's money in your pocket.

I'm morbidly curious about the Jack the Ripper game. I really enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper point and click adventure and I like murder mysteries. Looking forward to a review.

While I'm still interested in the game, it's no longer a must-buy. There will be plenty of games to choose from in September, but in February there wasn't anything else to compete for my money. Maybe I will buy it someday when it's cheap.

This was a surprisingly good game. I was very glad that I made the plunge and decided to give it a chance. Getting all of the combos was the best part, as well as following the understory.

The SNES version of Harvest Moon is really great for how simple it is. This one is a little too simple, but it's still fun and I'm going to get it when it comes out here, even though I own the original black-and-white Gameboy game.

For those of you who haven't played a Harvest Moon game in many years, Animal Parade for the Wii and A New Beginning for the 3DS are both really great. The bests in the series for sure.

I have VC, Wiiware, 3DSware etc games and I also have quite a few games on Steam, however I will always choose the physical game if the option exists. There's nothing wrong with digital only games but having the real disc feels so much more real. Plus I'll always be a collector at heart.

If eshop games were significantly cheaper than physical games I might consider them, but not if they're the same price.

I own all the DS games and I bought them again on the Wii.

And I'd still buy a 3DS collection. This is the one series that I will buy over and over and not even be sorry.

Urrggh is it really necessarily to have a cute dungeon crawling puzzle game feature giant tits? Is this really the type of game that men play to get off?

I enjoyed the first Picdun game so I'm interested in the sequel. Getting F-Zero and the demos for sure.

We already knew this. Every week I hope they release one of them and then I'm disappointed when they don't. I guess this is just reminding us that it's still happening?

I don't plan to boycott the game, but if there are other games that I want coming out in September that compete for my money, I may not get it. However if it was being released in February, I'd get it without thought. There isn't much out for the Wii U right now and I really want a new game. It's too bad Rayman isn't going to benefit from people like me who are itching to spend their money on a game for their new console.

I didn't expect the new WiiU VC games to read Wii VC saves anyway. I'm surprised that so many people thought that it would.

I'm getting the ZombiU demo for sure.

On one hand, I did like the go-at-your-own pace aspect of Pikmin 2, but I also loved the desperation of the original game.

Interested in a review for Gardenscapes.

MUSIC YES

Does this being the final adventure mean that Layton vs Wright will be released first?

Professor Layton, Harvest Moon, and Pokemon White 2 for me.

Great games this week.

This game is so fun.

I unlocked some great characters and now I'm ready to take on the ultimate difficulty.

Both Rune Factory games had some great music.

The Wind Shrine music from Tides of Destiny is especially nice.

I'll keep this on my radar since I'm a big Harvest Moon fan, but this looks like a browser game.

I'd prefer an actual colour like red.

But if given an option between black or white (or grey or silver) I'd probably choose white.

Weird. I thought Pendleton Ward said the Adventure Time game was for the 3DS.

I almost always prefer no voice acting in games because of a) voice acting that doesn't represent how real people talk and b) I can read faster than they can speak so I either cut them short or wait for them to finish. There have been exceptions though and I think sometimes voice acting adds to the experience.

I don't want Link to ever be voice acted because they'll never get it just right. In fact, the silly noises that he makes in Skyward Sword when he touches lava or falls off a cliff are too much as it is. Wind Waker Link is the closest they've gotten to a good Link voice.

Please please oh please come to North America! I love both Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton and I need this crossover to happen!

The first Zelda isn't really that hard, but yes you will get a few Game Overs unless you are really experienced with the game. I've finished it a couple of times.

Zelda II is much much more difficult.

I'm getting Saga.

@ Jango-Forest I think only Luke's voice is different.

I'm happy with these games. I was considering buying Zelda II on the VC so this saves me the money and the trouble.

And for those complaining, Nintendo doesn't owe you anything. You run the risk of a price drop whenever you buy anything expensive. I admit I was very surprised when the price dropped so quickly but I was willing to buy it for full price when I did so why would I be less satisfied when the price dropped? And we get 20 free games when they don't have to give us anything.

Yessss I love Professor Layton!

I also disagree with this review. I have had no problems with the controls and I never ever felt lost or confused about what I was supposed to do. It's incredibly straightforward. I guess it's just not for everyone.

I'll probably wait for the 3DS version. Hopefully it will be released shortly after the DS version and we won't have to wait too long.

Yes! I'm actually surprised we're getting it so soon. I expected fall 2012 at least!
