This REALLY makes me think of Sub Wars, which is a very good thing. It's a shame that it has no online, though. My decision to purchase now hinges on what reviews have to say about the single player. If it isn't substantial enough, like the single player in Sub Wars, then I'm gonna have to pass.
@azelf If you liked the original, you'll love the sequels. Though there are flaws (both new and old), the game as a whole is so good it's easy to look past them.
@Crono1973 I was bragging? You can make all the arguments you want for physical, I simply don't care.
As for the points you brought up:
1. Never used Action Replay, never intend to. Cheating isn't my thing. 2. That's why I don't just buy on impulse, I buy games that I know I will enjoy. The only game I regret buying is RE Mercenaries 3D and that was on sale for $5.
@Crono1973 The card cost $16, but it isn't just for DQ VIII. I'm currently sitting at less than 5000 blocks on my 32GB card, really not enough to support downloading any more games. The upgrade was necessary and I'm willing to pay a premium for the convenience of digital.
Wow, I can't wait to get this. Unfortunately I still haven't touched the post-game in Moon, I'm in the process of playing through Yokai Watch 2, and just started back up on Hyrule Warriors Legends. It may be a challenge finding the time to play everything.
Would resonate far more with me if it were Brad Evans (or any Sounders player) rather than someone from the Seahawks. Oh well, I can still appreciate the Seattle connection.
@c1pher_c0mplet Not sure how you're drawing that conclusion. What I read was that there would be no new Mega Evolutions in Sun/Moon, not that they're scrapping them completely.
Edit: Nevermind, that is definitely implied in the Eurogamer article.
Your estimated clear time of five hours is being incredibly generous. I just finished getting three stars on every level and have clocked in just barely over two hours.
I intend to get this, I just don't know when. I've got too many games on my plate at the moment, massive ones in particular (I'm looking at you HWL, MH4U, and BS).
I'm actually not too bothered that the 3DS isn't getting Afterbirth (at least at the moment). I've got more than enough on my plate gaming-wise at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
All last year I bought digital and don't regret a thing. I started getting physical again due to the discounts and lower prices on Amazon, though I still prefer the convenience of digital.

Re: Video: Gamescom 2017 Gives Us Our Best Look At Switch FIFA 18 Yet
FIFA is legimately one of the motivations for me getting a Switch (along with Zelda and Splatoon). I'm beyond excited for this.
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Sold 4.7 Million Units Worldwide
Was at Target this morning and saw a couple on display. Of course I jumped on the opportunity and bought one.
Re: Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters Will Spook the North American Market This Fall
@Arnold-Kage The story of the first game has no significant links to this one.
Re: Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters Will Spook the North American Market This Fall
Originally bought Bony Spirits at launch and just got Fleshy Souls a couple weeks ago so I could link the games. Looks like I'll be triple-dipping.
Re: Review: Urban Trial Freestyle 2 (3DS eShop)
I'll be downloading this as soon as it hits the US. Loved the first game.

Re: Million-Selling Urban Trial Freestyle Is Getting An Exclusive 3DS Sequel This Year
This is great news! I really enjoyed the first game.
Re: Video: FIFA 18 Gets Shown Off In Japanese Nintendo Switch Commercial
As long as it's a legitimate FIFA game I don't care. I haven't played a true FIFA game since 13 on may 3DS.
Re: Metroidvania forma.8 Launches This Month On The European Wii U eShop
I've been keeping my eye on this. Hopefully they didn't abandon the 3DS version.
Re: Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits & Fleshy Souls Finally Get a European Release Date
@azelf If you liked the original, you'll love the sequels. Though there are flaws (both new and old), the game as a whole is so good it's easy to look past them.
Re: Review: Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World (3DS)
I'm pre-loading it right now. Can't wait to play!
Re: Video: Fresh Shovel Knight: Specter Of Torment Footage Stalks The Earth
Still haven't touch Plague of Shadows, but Spectre Knight looks incredibly fun to play. This may tempt me back to Shovel Knight.
Re: Tank Troopers Will Blow Up on the 3DS eShop Soon
I liked what I saw in NintenDaan's footage, but the lack of online kind of kills my interest.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th January (North America)
Got a bigger SD card on the way so I can download Dragon Quest VIII.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (3DS)

Re: Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King Arrives in North America on 20th January
Wow, guess it's a good thing that I went ahead and got VII instead of waiting in order to focus on other games. The games just keep coming.
Re: Final Starter Evolutions, Gen I Treats and Region Guardians Unveiled for Pokémon Sun and Moon
Not too thrilled with the starter's final evolutions. They just don't look right to me.
Re: Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) Heading to 3DS in Japan
Guess I benefit from waiting on Generations, though I'm still far from finished with 4 Ultimate. Guess I should probably get back to that.
Re: The 'Masuda Method' Lives On in Pokémon Sun and Moon
@c1pher_c0mplet Not sure how you're drawing that conclusion. What I read was that there would be no new Mega Evolutions in Sun/Moon, not that they're scrapping them completely.
Edit: Nevermind, that is definitely implied in the Eurogamer article.
Re: Hands On: Checking Out A New Generation In Pokémon Sun and Moon
No 3D, apparently.

Re: Hands On: Checking Out A New Generation In Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Taedirk No mention by Gamexplain either. It's a little worrying.
Re: Pokémon Sun And Moon's File Size Is The Stuff Of Legends
Even with my 32 GB card I don't have enough space. Looks like I've gotta delete some demos.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Version 1.1 is Now Live
@PanzerNomad You can also use the R trigger to fire. It's handy for those instances.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Version 1.1 is Now Live
Prior to the update Blast Ball was borderline unplayable online, now it's incredibly smooth and frustration-free. Thank god.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Because there are people out there playing and enjoying the game?
Re: Review: Brick Race (New 3DS)
This looks like a project from a programming class. This level of quality is unacceptable if you're expecting people to actually pay for it.
Re: Mario Sports Superstars Is A Collection Of Five Games In One
The inclusion of full-on soccer has me looking forward to this. The other sports are a bonus for me, really.
Re: Super Mario Maker Is Coming To 3DS
The lack of online pretty much kills my interest. Oh well, I've got plenty of other games to look forward to.
Re: Random: Take This Pokémon GO Safety Tips Guide with a Pinch of Salt
Really didn't find the video funny at all. Guess it's not my sort of humor.
Re: Review: 7th Dragon III Code: VFD (3DS)
Hmm, lack of 3D is disappointing but definitely not a deal breaker. I'll have to give the demo a play and see how I like it.
Re: Image & Form Confirms DLC Hat Pack for SteamWorld Heist
As long as hats have no function beyond appearance I have no interest. If it's paid that is.
Re: Review: Pazuru (3DS eShop)
Your estimated clear time of five hours is being incredibly generous. I just finished getting three stars on every level and have clocked in just barely over two hours.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June (North America)
I've got BOXBOYBOY! pre-loaded and the Hyrule Warriors Legends DLC paid for. Bring them on!
Re: E3 2016: Rhythm Heaven Megamix is Available to Buy Right Now on the North American eShop
I've already downloaded it. Just waiting for my 3DS to charge up before playing.
Re: Bravely Second: New Faces 3DS HOME Theme and Miitomo Outfits Added to My Nintendo in North America
About time! Redeeming for that theme right now.
Re: Review: Kirby: Planet Robobot (3DS)
I intend to get this, I just don't know when. I've got too many games on my plate at the moment, massive ones in particular (I'm looking at you HWL, MH4U, and BS).
Re: Nintendo Unveils Two New 3DS Colours for Japan
As a Sounders fan I love that green but there is no way that it's making it over the states.
Re: Pokémon Shuffle Adds Plenty of New Stages in Latest Update
It's going to be quite a while until I can get to these new stages. I'm currently stuck on Mega Rayquaza.
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth Coming To Wii U "In The Coming Months"
I'm actually not too bothered that the 3DS isn't getting Afterbirth (at least at the moment). I've got more than enough on my plate gaming-wise at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
Re: SteamWorld Heist's DLC, The Outsider, Is Coming on 28th April
@Uberchu Oh yeah! Definitely one of my favorite themes.
Re: SteamWorld Heist's DLC, The Outsider, Is Coming on 28th April
@Harmunt Just get it at full price. It's more than worth it and Image and Form are deserving of the support.
Re: Video: Check Out This Overview of Bravely Second
Got the Collectors Edition pre-ordered from Amazon. Can't wait.
Re: My Nintendo and Its Rewards Are Live
I love how the site isn't optimized for the iPad. Looks pretty bad in it's current state, it doesn't even improve by changing screen orientation.
Re: Digital Foundry Breaks Down The Improved Performance of New 3DS
@Sticker How are you drawing that conclusion?
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th March (North America)
@HyrulePrince Had no idea the price for the guide was so low. Just got it ordered.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th March (North America)
No downloads for me. I've got Hyrule Warriors Legends coming via Amazon tomorrow, though. I can't pass up that 20% Prime discount.
Re: Poll: Are You Ready to Download More of Your Retail Games From the eShop?
All last year I bought digital and don't regret a thing. I started getting physical again due to the discounts and lower prices on Amazon, though I still prefer the convenience of digital.
Re: Review: Bravely Second: End Layer (3DS)
I put over a hundred hours into Bravely Default and plan to do the same with this one. Sounds excellent.
