I have alot of Wii points to use up, I hope they decide to add games back to WiiWare that are listed on this site no longer available when I look for them.

@JLPick I used to enjoy Nintendo Power, nice to see that someone else remembers it. I still have the final issue unopened in the shrink wrap.

@LordGeovanni I agree with everything you said. Well put.
And I know it may be hard to believe in this day and age but not everyone uses social media.

I am speechless, there are no words to convey my sadness. He is a shining star in the sky tonight

@Donjwolf My only mahjong experience so far (besides playing it as one of the many mini games in "Amazing Adventures: The Forgotten Ruins" an excellent H/O adventure game BTW) has been "MahJong Quest Expeditions" that I picked up at Gamestop this past weekend.
It did have a timer and the tiles patterns were very difficult to distinguish on such a small screen.

And thanks for the info, I'll check out Best of Mahjong you mentioned!

@Donjwolf Thanks for that bit of info. hey do you happen to know of a mahjong game WITHOUT a timer? I play games on my 3DS to relax and what with those tiles being small enough already I don't need the pressure of a stinkin' timer LOL Download or physical game would be fine although I prefer the latter

@thesilverbrick Absolutely agree. We are crammed with people here and always lumped in with NY. I expected them to select a location in Boston at least. Personally I would not drive there myself but alot of yanks from the six state region would.

It's the 21st of April and I had to call for the codes. Nice CS rep emailed them to me as I was on the phone. However I forgot to ask him before hanging up if there is an expiration date to download. I'm planning to give the codes to my brother and nephews but they are going on vacation tomorrow and may not have time to download before they leave.
Anyone here happen to know if these codes have to be used by a certain date?

@thegreninja47
That I will do Monday, thanks.

It's now Friday April 17, still no email with the download code

Indeed nice that Nintendo wont be left out of the mix but speaking as someone who already owns 4 mics, 4 drum sets (two boxed up) and five guitars for both series, I will not be buying this.

@Zadaris UGH!!!!
I'm currently playing Professor Layton & the Miracle Mask and have two more Layton games waiting in the wings. This #7 sounds pretty lame.

@EvisceratorX Very apt description

@SethNintendo Completely agree with you. I love my old candy bar style Nokia phone and playing on the old game consoles. I own a small tablet but do no gaming on it.

After SIX attempts submitting the survey it FINALLY went through.
It's 1:30 am here folks, I gotta go to bed. All I can say is grab a cup of joe and don't give in, if you can try to stick with it
Good night and good luck to you all!!

After trying again the survey showed up. This is the third time I've taken the survey only to get the "Whoops" message or "Site is Down for Maintenance" page or just plain kicked off
Lets go for four

Just kicked me off site GRRRRRRRRR
Cannot log in yet again. That darn survey was worth 60 points

Kept trying and by 12:50 suddenly the Smash Brothers survey showed up again, I went through all the questions etc, hit the submit button and got this message after waiting for what seemed like ages:
" I'm sorry but your survey was unsuccessful."

Just got through at 12:25 EDT and it said that I had a Super Smash Bothers post game survey worth 60 points that expires 3/31. Then it disappeared and said I have nothing in the To Do List.
I know it is after midnight but I have been unable to log on to their site now for hours. I think it would be a nice gesture to allow folks who entered their info today the chance to complete unfinished business so-to-speak within the coming days.
JMHO

@Feathered_Pilot
Indeed, twin 11 year old nephews LOL Their game room looks like the proverbial tornado went through there

Finally got through (11:15 pm EDT) but all that came up was this message:

@mushroomer
No surveys on two products I registered today. I entered 6 codes total and I bought a download game from 3DS eShop last week that never showed up for coins

@Feathered_Pilot
Actually I entered most of my own codes last week. The ones I got today were emailed from my brother. Turns out he had no idea CN was shutting down until this Sunday when I let him know. He doesnt participate so I asked if he could give me his.
The way my nephews scatter their games about it took him awhile to find them

NA site is down, down, down............................................
Entered some codes earlier today but my post game surveys were not listed

I for one love HO/puzzlers and would get this one without hesitation except the reviews on Amazon UK are horrid. In Europe this one is sold as an actual physical game
Also looks like it has a timer, I don't like to play against a clock. I am "oldster", I game to relax

If this "Titanic Mystery" download for the 3DS is the same as the physical game sold in the UK then it is both a hidden object and puzzle game.

I for one love HO/puzzlers and would get this one without hesitation except the reviews on Amazon UK are horrid

Posting on this thread very late but figured I would pass along some info.
i downloaded both this game and the original Ravenhearst and have to say I enjoy this one much, much more despite the lower score. There is no timer in this game unlike the previous and the graphics are beautiful even on the small screen of the 3DS
Not having a timer is important to me as my eyes are not that good anymore. I also play these games to relax, not try to beat a clock that punishes you by erasing all of your progress and making you start over.
If you enjoy hidden object, puzzle games that follow a story this one is well worth it, particularly if you can download it on sale at the eshop. For $3.99 I'm very happy

I am late to this party, way late!! I gave myself a 3DS XL for Christmas, my first hand held console and I'm fifty. After playing with my twin nephews' 3DS's I caught the fever and took the plunge. And I've since picked up a couple of used DSi XL's to have on hand, even gave one to my mom. Then I loaded up on lot's of games, some new but mostly used. I tried regular size 3DS and while it was comfortable to hold I need the larger screen for my "old" eyes ;D
I'm proof that It is never to late to enjoy gaming. I absolutely love it
The 3DS was the best $$ I've spent in a long time. I use it everyday and look forward to my "game time".

While I can understand why they are doing this I will personally always own a console and a hand held. I actually do own a tablet but have never had the desire to use it for anything but browsing the internet when not near my desktop.
This announcement will not change my mind

We have all the Rock Band & Guitar Hero games as well as two sets of guitars and drum sets for BOTH series and a lot of extra mics. We picked up most of them used. I even scored a brand new drum set off ebay at a great price

I had read in the past that the instruments are not compatible with the Wii U however there are still Wii owners such as myself who already have a boat load of instruments. I was hopeful the new game would include the Wii platform.
My husband loves rockin out on the drums and since I can't play an instrument I pick up the mic and scare the heck out of the neighbors.
I dont care how lousy I sound, it's just plain fun.
And when my brother and twin nephews drop in, we have enough instruments for everyone to join in and have a great time.

Sure we all know the Wii isn't for hard core gamers but it's great entertainment, in our house that's what matters.
I would have bought this.

Late to the comments here but IMO what kills this game for me is the timer.

OK, I'm a heck of a lot older than most folks on here so my eyes are not the sharpest.
Trying to find the hidden objects was tough but since Im an avid HO gamer that is no big deal. I play games to relax.

The worst aspect of the game is trying to assemble the VERY sepia toned parchment pieces that also have to be turned in the right direction with the stylus. Maybe on a PC screen it's not too tough but on my 3ds XL all the pieces look alike.
It is so difficult to see that I even removed my contact lenses and put my face really close to the screen.
And you know what? I would eventually be able to assemble that puzzle AND enjoy doing it if that no good timer wasn't ticking away. When time runs out ALL progress is lost and you have to start that level all over again.

Fortunately I bought it on sale in the eshop so I'm only out $4.00 but if I knew that there was no way to play without the timed aspect I wouldn't have bothered.

I know I wont download Return To Ravenhearst even though it's on sale too.
