I was purely physical until I got MH4U pre-installed on my N3DS XL. Since then, at least until I get Triforce Heroes later today, I've gone completely digital.
I've always been excited for Steamworld Heist, but I'm playing through Shantae and the Pirate's Curse at the moment and it's getting me pretty hyped to play Risky's Revenge. There's definitely a lot to look forward to on the eShop.
@Konda The developer stated that they were not able to get the game to run as smooth as they wanted on the original 3DS, so the New 3DS was the only option.
This change seems to me like a way to hold people accountable for both their actions and who they choose to associate with. If others suffer on behalf of their poor decisions, then they'll have to think twice. Granted, there are younger users out there who won't understand but that's why parental controls exist. They need to crack down on ban avoidance and this the way to do it.
I've been on Miiverse since day one on the 3DS and despite dealing with some trolls (including some guy who tried to impersonate me) I've never been banned and have had only a handful of posts moderated. If you steer clear of using profanity and avoid getting involved with the wrong crowds (I'm looking at you Sub Wars clans) you really shouldn't have any problems.
@ianolivia Nintendo has to see to it that the children are sheltered. While their just protecting their own ass it really holds Miiverse back from it's true potential.
The only thing new this week that interests me is Pazuru. I'll definitely be getting the new StreetPass games but considering my current StreetPass situation they can wait.
Would the reviewer mind explaining how exactly the game's minimalistic art style is "retro"? Does that mean a simplistic graphics style automatically makes a game a retro cash-in?
@ThomasBW84 Thanks for pointing that out. Admittedly I haven't completely read the review and that escaped my notice as I scanned through it trying to find mention.
I was not expecting those Pokemon themes to be available outside of Japan so soon. I'll definitely be getting the Rayquaza theme along with Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
Finally! I'll be downloading those Monster Hunter themes the instant they become available. And after that I will be heading into the eShop and downloading the trial version of Ironfall. And I may pick up DKCR 3D thanks to the promo.
Well, when my N3DS XL arrives next week I'll technically be getting MH4U digitally considering it will be pre-installed. Once I complete the system transfer I guess that's what I'll be downloading this week.
On a side note, I'm kinda scratching my head over the fact that there's only one Monster Hunter theme. Europe gets both yet North America only one?
I managed to get a promo code for this and I definitely agree with the score. It isn't at all awful and can be fairly entertaining for short periods, but overall it just feels lacking.
Oh, and it deserves the award for worst implementation of 3D. It actually makes me turn the feature off, which is something I NEVER do.
Of course there are people complaining for a Wii U version in the comments. If only we could go one article about MH4U without a single mention of the Wii U.
It has online?! Last I heard the developer had ruled that out due to the investment needed. I guess we now know why the game disappeared off of the radar for so long.
Looks to have a lot more depth than the original. This is definitely going on my wishlist (it would be an instant buy, but my eShop backlog says otherwise).

This and Dementium: Remastered are going to make December awesome.

Re: First Impressions: Digging into Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows
Sounds awesome. Too bad I'm completely occupied with MH4U, LBX, and Rumble World at the moment. I've been meaning to return to Binding of Isaac too.

Re: Little Battlers eXperience is Now Coming to Europe a Little Sooner
The lack of online certainly hurts, but I'll certainly get it if there is enough content in the single player.
Re: First Impressions: Linking Up in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
@CTs_Lieutenant You can play the entire game alone if you so choose. Multiplayer isn't mandatory.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Producer Explains Why Samus Aran Isn't In The Game
From what I saw in the Treehouse video it looks incredibly chaotic and fun. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Re: The Days Are Numbered For The Nintendo Video 3DS Application In North America
I'd much rather have a re-designed dedicated app than have the video content shoved into the the eShop.

Re: The Latest Miiverse Update Has Users In An Uproar
The performance bump isn't significant enough to warrant the trade-off.
Re: Parent Trap: Code Name S.T.E.A.M. Makes Chess Players Of Us All
Reading this has me itching to head into the eShop and get the game, despite my massive backlog. It'll be difficult resist the temptation.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th April (North America)
Puzzle and Dragons demo and the Monster Hunter theme for me this week. Any Monster Hunter theme is pretty much instabuy for me,

Man, Mario is insufferable in that video.

Re: Feature: Ten Must-Play Games for the Nintendo 3DS
I can't take this list seriously without any Monster Hunter. And I'll take Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire over X/Y.

Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (New Nintendo 3DS)
I failed to see any mention of the implementation of 3D. Is it used? If so, how well?
Re: 3DS Action Puzzler Pazuru Arrives On The European eShop This Week
I definitely like what I'm seeing in the trailer. I'll definitely keep tabs on this game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March (North America)
I was not expecting those Pokemon themes to be available outside of Japan so soon. I'll definitely be getting the Rayquaza theme along with Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th March (North America)
@mushroomer The update goes live 9:00 AM Pacific time
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th February (North America)
Why exactly are the Monster Hunter themes being held back until Saturday? That makes no sense.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th February (North America)
Finally! I'll be downloading those Monster Hunter themes the instant they become available. And after that I will be heading into the eShop and downloading the trial version of Ironfall. And I may pick up DKCR 3D thanks to the promo.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th February (North America)
Uh, where is the Monster Hunter theme? This update indicates that it's available for purchase yet it's completely absent from the theme shop.

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th February (North America)
Finally the US gets the Game and Watch theme! I'm downloading that first thing.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (3DS)
Too bad I have absolutely zero interest in this game. I'll be playing Monster Hunter instead.

Re: Review: Undead Storm Nightmare (3DS eShop)
@Asaki The first level definitely isn't the best representation of the game.
Re: Review: Gunman Clive 2 (3DS eShop)
@Kaze_Memaryu What do you mean when you say 100%?
Re: Review: Gunman Clive 2 (3DS eShop)
I'll be downloading this as soon as I possibly can (which should be right after it becomes available).
Re: Review: Hazumi (3DS eShop)
Wow, zero mention of the menu design. I absolutely love this game but the nonsensical menu design is really putting a damper on my experience.
Re: Hundreds of Limited Edition Majora's Mask New Nintendo 3DS Systems Continue to Flood Onto eBay
Thankfully I've always had my eye on the Monster Hunter special edition. I would not want to have to bear with this mess.
Re: Retro City Rampage DX Update Will Bring Dual Stick Aiming Support on New Nintendo 3DS
Funny thing is, I have the game downloaded but I probably won't actually get to playing it until after the update arrives.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Pre-Orders Emerge at GameStop, Best Buy, EB Games and GAME
I pre-ordered the MH4U special edition this morning.
@MrGawain The MM3D special edition doesn't include the game. And are you talking about hard drives in relation to the 3DS?
Re: Nintendo Confirms New 3DS eShop Shooter IronFall Invasion
@Imerion You could just play online...

Re: Undead Storm Nightmare Will Bring The Zombie Apocalypse to 3DS
@pek727 So? Graphics don't decide whether a game is fun or not.

Looks to have a lot more depth than the original. This is definitely going on my wishlist (it would be an instant buy, but my eShop backlog says otherwise).
Re: Review: Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (3DS eShop)
Deluxe was how I originally experienced Super Mario Bros. I'm definitely looking forward to being able to experience it once again.
Re: Club Nintendo Adds Two 3DS Game Card Cases and NES Remix 2 T-Shirt in North America
Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered the Zelda card case.
Re: Capcom's Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Infographic Shows Off the Size of the Game's Challenges
It never fails. Whenever there is an article relating to MH4U SOMEONE has to bring up the Wii U. It's not coming, get over it already.
Re: The 3DS Proves to Be a Popular Music Player in Japan
Interesting, but if I can't scrobble from it I will never use it as a music player.
Re: Yet More Mario 3DS HOME Themes Arrive in Japan, Smash Bros. Options on the Way
I want those Smash Bros themes! Those are themes I'd be willing to spend money on.
