What_Sthat

Guess I'll pass until maybe something happens with that online lag issue.

Chess reviews will determine my Chessly download interest.

I'm pretty sad cause I ended up getting sick this week and let NyQuil take out my entire Saturday. Just woke up, not fun.

No Mario Kart shenanigans for me.

One of my favorites, do want.

Oh right, waiting for some reviews and more deets on Cube Tactics. Nothing else for now.

Now watch it not pop up today and shenanigans can ensue.

I was right.

Fair enough.

Nintendo has it on their website listed as coming out today, was just doing my normal early Thursday morning Nintendo lurking and checked by chance. Now I'm confused.

A few weeks should be worth the wait. If the people who make a game are not satisfied then neither will those who buy it.

I have a long history of playing Chess and developing my own style of doing without thinking but still doing well. I'll probably pick it up before too long.

I have two birthdays on Saturday to possibly deal with but for the sake of fairness I may have to make sure they both get an equal share of my time by giving them no time each and instead joining in on the Karting fun.

Is it weird that I like Yoshi (probs top three Marioverse character) but dislike all Yoshi games?

What I actually don't get is why they didn't do Yoshi on 3DS. New Yoshi 3DS coming out, new Yoshi game. Not even bundled but that's whatever. Why not give the Yoshi troo a little somethin'.

Kinda interested in the pink Animal Crossing pouch. I don't even like Animal Crossing but I kinda hate the case I carry my 3DS in.

Throwing all of my money at the screen.

Make this happen, please. It would be like hitting the jackpot, but bigger cause it's Shaq. A Shaqpot.

Intrigue. I have it.

Five bucks. I have it.

We'll see.

I am sadface.

Though I really need to update my avatar because it's smiling. So inappropriate.

I'm like triple platinum so I was saving my XL code for July. I did the new Pokemon thing but I gave the game away to a friend. Not sure I wanna give up the quick boost to status to get it back. Not for Pokemon at least. If the list of free options was wider I might.

Weapon Shop and nothing more. If they didn't have that Level-5 sale recently I'd be in some kind of e-purchase drought.

In the immediate I'm looking most forward to picking up Weapon Shop de Omasse. I also might pick up some of the other Guild releases as they're all on sale for three bucks right now, and I have only previously purchased Crimson Shroud and Liberation Maiden.

Downloaded the free Sub Wars game, can't complain about free. If it sucks I'll delete it, simple. I didn't expect it so it's not a loss to get nothing for nothing.

Otherwise nothing really had my attention. Smash Bros and MH4U are a while off so nothing to get jumpy about. Might look into Inazuma Eleven when it's discounted. Not disappointed or excited about the Direct though, it was what they announced it as.

Liked the AeternoBlade demo well enough but I'm not sure it's a 15 dollar game. Will wait for sale/price drop. If I didn't have Bravely Default I'd wonder if there will ever be a new release worth grabbing new.

Everything I'm looking forward to I kinda already have expectations for that a Direct likely won't change, so I only want to know about Super Mario Bros 3.

I will also take an unexpected surprise.

Fighting spirit maids?

Sold.

Edit: No. Spirit battle maids. I like that better.

Battle maid spirits. Maid battle spirits.

I denno now.

Not feeling either of those 3DS titles. Fortunately there have been a few physical items worth picking up in the last few months so my coins aren't collecting dust.

Usually look forward to seeing what's new when I wake up on Thursday but this week I've got all my hype piled into waking up on Friday.

At last, Bravely Default is coming.

Interested enough to buy if/when there's a sale in some odd months. Can't find a point in buying new eShop games full price right now since Bravely Default is in two days and I know that will be eating half of my 3DS time, with MH3U continuing to take the rest.

I really want that 3DS...

That Four Swords Anniversary Edition would be the highlight of 2014 for me on 3DS so far if Bravely Default didn't have that stellar demo.

Another week of waiting. January did well for my backlog.

Just got back into MH3U recently after going overkill on it back when it came out. Now when I get burned out again I can cool down and get ready for the next installment instead. Gonna be great. Finally can find out if a battery in the circle pad pro can ever die.

I'll never give up on you, Nintendo. Mostly because I've got money on my eShop account that I won't let you let me not spend. Next Thursday is best Thursday ever for the eShop. I'm callin' it right now.

I really want Super Mario Bros. 3. I've had the spot on the 3DS home interface reserved next to Super Mario Bro. 2 and Super Mario Land for a while now. I'm a pretty patient dude but I'm admittedly a little annoyed that nothing has been said (as far as I know) after it was announced to be released before the end of last year. Would be nice to just get an update, honestly.

@Pokefanmum82
They have Untold listed as going on sale Monday (20 January). Follows suit with the Atlus sales of this week that started on Monday (13 January) even though the announcements came the previous Thursdays.

Wow, didn't even notice that case. I think I'll pick it up.

EU has some neat stuff. I want a relaxation set or a pink Yoshi cloth.
Plus they have those charging cradles right now.

@Tasuki Actually they were delayed. They changed it from 12 Janurary to 13 Janurary yesterday. I actually refreshed and saw it change while I was checking too often for the new update.

Another month of waiting to spend a few of these coins I have stockpiled. Haven't seen anything I wanted since I picked up the ALBW poster set.

@capriboy

They just changed the Club Nintendo game rewards.

3DS -
Game and Watch: Cement Factory (100 coins)
Spin Six (150 coins)

Wii U -
F-Zero (200 coins)
1080 Snowboarding (200 coins)

Available until 9 February,

Don't want to go through and do an entry for everything but:

Yes to new Star Fox, anything Rosalina, FE Anthology, and Majora's Mask 3D just because I like having all these digital LoZ games on my LoZ XL.

No to Mario in Luigi's mansions, Galaxy remakes or remasters or redoings of any kind, and a lot of the thought that going eShop tier instead of retail tier would be better.

Indifference to Metroid and F-Zero and Animal Crossing. I'd play F-Zero but I've never been big on Metroid and Animal Crossing just is not for me. Also to Mario Paint and SNES remix.

Aside from that though, Virtual Console expansion on the 3DS (add SNES and GBA games please) and Wii U would be great. Would like to see something on a new Advance Wars as well. Seems a bit too obvious to say new titles not sequels or remakes or whatever would be great. Maybe a game where a person goes around doing what is considered necessary to solve a particular problem that affects some group of people.

I'm not the biggest fan of censorship. I don't like bleeped words or pixelate/fogged-over lady parts or when someone tells me to "watch my language". But all I've heard about this game is that this is a game I need to buy, this is Square back when Square was the BLEEP (I typed that to make myself chuckle but I feel pained inside still). I'm going to try out that demo this weekend once I've got the time to do so, and if it's as good as I'm hearing, I will be glad I preordered it weeks ago. Still not sure if I care about the CE but I can change my mind when I go to pick it up.

I have no issue with a week like this. I can use the week trying to catch up with the already impossible game backlog I already have. Also my CCP XL came today so it's back to a life of too much Monster Huntering. Nintendo had to work overtime through that Christmas nightmare, taking it easy for a week is no bother. Enjoy some Bravely Default and chillax.

Pokemon was third place 3DS first-party and 3DS overall.

My hype for Bravely Default is growing when it wins without having its release in NA yet. Two more days until the demo, will be stalking the eShop Thursday morning.

3DS game of the year for me is Fire Emblem: Awakening. I keep going back to it, I'm in love with (female) Morgan and she makes me more sure I'll never be a father because I know I'll never have a daughter as perfect as she is.

Second is Etrian Odyssey IV, best discovery I somehow missed from the DS days, and third is Monster Hunter 3U. I did get a bit worn out on MH3U after a while but my activity log tells no lies, it still was one of the best.

There's a difference between "I'm annoyed by this situation. I'm considering returning this product because I am not satisfied." and "This is the worst thing that ever happened to anyone anywhere! Nintendo are a bunch of scheming evil monsters who will cause the next World War! I threw this new console-turned-paperweight at my wife and she's bleeding now and she doesn't even blame me because she knows Nintendo made me do it! My oldest son broke the disc for Super Mario 3D World and stabbed the dog because he can't play his brand new 3DS that I got him for Christmas! I'm not sure if the dog will make it but I wouldn't be surprised if he responds with his own kind of violence because I know how Nintendo screwing me over can upset him! This, of course, is assuming that Nintendo hasn't already brought on a zombie apocalypse that will turn my dog into a zombie who will bite my family and make my bleeding wife and upset children into more zombies! Thanks for all you've done for us, Nintendo. I hope you BURN!!"

I apologize if I went too far. I get carried away sometimes.

Thursday is that new Bravely Default demo. Let's have no more problems until I after I get it downloaded.

I feel good for the people who were able to treat the issues this week as if they were on par with a natural disaster destroying their home. Must mean things are going pretty well for them otherwise if the biggest problem in their lives is "I can't download video games."

It's all Nintendo's fault for not being a perfect, flawless entity, like all of the people who buy their products are.

What.

NoA sent out a twitter an hour or so ago saying eShop services will be down for 12 hours starting at 4pm EST.
