I have Liberation Maiden and Crimson Shroud but haven't given them enough time, I played both for an hour or so but neither really grabbed me which is a shame. Definitely not bad games though, especially at that price.
Also got The Starship Damrey which I definitely would recommend. It's more a proof of concept then a fully fledged game, kind of feels like a jam game that was expanded to a semi-complete game. But if you're into your point and click adventures told in a first person dungeon crawler template then you may like this for the couple of hours it'll take to complete.
I can imagine the response but I honestly am curious... has anyone played those PAC-MAN games on 3DS?? For that price I thought they might be worth a punt.
Seems like this is related to Nintendo's 'Quality of Life' initiative. I can imagine this being projected on ceilings and walls while someone works out etc.
I just hope that the NX isn't just an expanded Wii Fit!
God this is incredibly sad, but he should feel so proud to have created a video game that has been able to financially support his son, a lot of people around the world can't support their family like that.
@Hallsy from what I hear VIII is a better jumping in point, people say VII is insanely long and more old fashioned. Saying that, this looks to have been remade from the ground up whereas VIII is merely a shrunken down port of the PS2 game so maybe that'd sway your decision?
KIller7 is easily Suda's best game so far, would absolutely love a re-release or re-master. One thing that stands out when I go back to it however is how fidgety the controls are, if they could tighten up the aiming that'd be great. Make it HD and sort out the first person aiming and it'd be near perfect for me.
For those unsure on the game watch this play through of the opening, it pretty much gives a good idea of the gameplay and structure of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bymC_XLHN8
@SH007ME I'd say buy now if you really like the look of it or hope for a sale in the future (or get it off Steam!). I really enjoyed the game, I found it pretty addictive if incredibly short.
You really can't complain about this, it's free and expands on an already amazing game... but, I'd also be fine if there weren't anymore expansions and they simply worked on their next game.
140 is great but be warned; it's only 2 hours. I'd personally wait for a sale. Nice, simple and addictive game though.
Everyone should be picking up the M2 games on sale, just a shame the two I don't have (Ecco, Altered Beast) aren't included.
Thinking about getting one or more the following: Iron Combat, Zombie Incident, Steel Empire. At £9 Steel Empire still feels a little too pricey though; you can buy an Atlus game for that price!
If anyone has played any of the above 3 games let me know what you thought of them!
@Utena-mobile I get the feeling the 3DS is on its way out too. This definitely feels like the DSi days of the 3DS' life... aka, a suggestion that it could keep going strong before plummeting from all existence! (not before the release of Ever Oasis to tie things up of course).
@bezerker99 I imagine it'll be just like with Twlight Princess; everyone will get it for the shiny new console. Makes sense to me and from the look of footage so far it could do with running on more powerful software to smooth out the framerate.
Missed out on the beard (in Europe) but loved it anyway! This was a very strong direct and pretty much cements the fact that there is nothing coming to the Wii U.
Sometimes demos work against a game, sadly this was the case with Chain Blaster, thought it would be incredible but it just turned out to be a bit lifeless and easy. Won't be buying, thanks demo!
Woah, never knew they were limited, that's ridiculous! I wonder if we'll even get notifications before out coins are just nabbed from us. Such a strange idea.
Chain Blaster for me; been wanting for this for a while too! ill try out the demo first but I'm sure I'd be into it. Studio Mudprints did a nice little review of it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaQyFa_GzEM
Would have been cool if they added camera support too, so you could draw over image you've taken a photo of. If they updated this I might be interested.
Brilliant news although it'd be great if they could do this for the 3DS too. The Steamworld games, Ace Attorney Trilogy, Zero Time Dilemma, the Pullblox games, Mighty Switch Force...
@Shiryu the subtitle does leave a sting but it's also rather funny; you just know people are going to get furious with you even though it's obviously tongue in cheek.
Your review reads almost exactly like the GameXplain review which is promising. Will check out the game for sure. (I also liked Hunters and Other M so I'm immune to negative opinions!)
Like Columns and Super Puzzle Fighter, I've known what to make of this series. It just has never gelled with me... I'd prefer to play Tetris Attack any day of the week.
Any Puyo Puyo fans out there, can you try explain the appeal to me? I've played Fever for the DS and the version in Hatsune Miku.

Re: European Wii U and 3DS eShop Cyber Deals Now Confirmed
BoxBoy! was a solid 7/10, can't go wrong with more of the same at that price... so BoxBoxBoy! for me.

Re: Level-5 is Running a Black Friday Sale on the North American 3DS eShop
@NickOfTime90 if this sale comes to Europe I'll take your word for it and take the plunge.
Re: SEGA 3D Classics Collection is Heading to Europe on 4th November
Doesn't seem to have been released physically... what's going on Sega!?
Re: Here Are Your New My Nintendo Rewards
Would get Korg M01D if I didn't already own the physical Japanese DS version. Plus hasn't it been 50% on the eShop already a couple of times?
Re: Nintendo Switch Presentation Dated For 12th January
Not the 1st January but close enough!

@chansey Can't you get Luigi's Mansion 2 £15 boxed these days as part of the 3DS selects range?

Re: UK Retailer Tesco Adds Nintendo NX Order Page With £349.99 Price
@skywake I'd buy that for a dollar!
Re: UK Retailer Tesco Adds Nintendo NX Order Page With £349.99 Price
One day we will wake to the news of a NX Direct... and it will be glorious! Until then any NX 'news' is kind of frustrating.
Re: Feature: Ten of Our Favourite DSiWare Games
@Moon almost certain it's not going anywhere, it's just the DSi shop via the DSi which is sadly being closed down.

Re: Feature: Future Nindie Hits for the eShop - October to December
The sprite work on Antipole DX is really nice; slightly understated but I really like the look. Will definitely check it out on 3DS.

Re: Gurumin 3D Price Revealed, Free 3DS Theme To Be Included With Purchase
@MysteryAozz this version is coming off the back of this...
http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?search=gurumin&numrev=3&site=
So long as it is ported properly this will surely be a 8/10 or 9/10 on Nintendo Life.
Re: Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure May Be One to Watch on the 3DS eShop
@Nintendian no, will work on all 3DS and 2DS systems
Re: Gurumin 3D Price Revealed, Free 3DS Theme To Be Included With Purchase
Wow, that price is perfect. I wonder if the game plays differently on the New 3DS (in terms of textures and fps like what MH4U did)...

Re: Poll: Did the 3DS Nintendo Direct Boost Your Hype for the Portable's Line-Up?
All about Picross 3D 2, Super Mario Maker, Poochy & Yoshi, Mario Sports and Rhythm Paradise Megamix. Good stuff.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 1st September
@Ninten-san how about this!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtWgvmaPBAA I know what you mean though, we feel like a younger brother here in Europe.

Re: Super Mario Maker Is Coming To 3DS
I was so happy that this was announced! And not exclusive to 'New' 3DS is a big plus.
I didn't really understand though, can you not enter course codes to play other people's courses? If so that's a shame.
Re: A New Pikmin Game is Coming to 3DS
I'm not sure about this one, feels too much like an original DS that they just forgot to release!

Re: GameStop Opens Pre-Orders on 'New Galaxy Style' New Nintendo 3DS XL
I'm in the meh camp, it looks like one of these cheap phone covers that clog up Amazon and eBay.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st September (Europe)
On a somewhat related note, I wonder why only now we're getting G-Style games in Europe. Also, what have they been doing since 2014!?

Re: Poll: What Are Your Favourite Super NES Games?
3 SNES games appear in my top 50 games. So I guess my favourite SNES games are...
Super Aleste (42)
Tetris Attack (38)
Super Mario World (2)
Re: Video: Relive The Wonders Of The Super Nintendo's Famous Mode 7
@The_Top_Loader do you have a list of your favourite games online? My top three are 1) Tetris (GB) 2) Super Mario World 3) F-Zero GX.
Re: Video: Relive The Wonders Of The Super Nintendo's Famous Mode 7
@The_Top_Loader what did you put above this? F-Zero X and GX?

Also, where's Puyo Puyo Tetris gone!?
Re: SEGA is Putting on a 3D Classics Sale in North America
@Tuulenpoika they did a while back, I'm sure it'll come round again some time.
Also, everyone should pick up Super Hang-On, underrated masterpiece.
