You're dumber than a sack of bullfrogs.
That's not very nice. Its just an opinion. I was excited to buy Sakura Samurai (at launch), but the gameplay got very repetitive. I still haven't gotten past the 2nd world.

I didn't get that far into Pushmo because I'm stupid. Isn't Crashmo even harder? 
I was considering just picking up MMD for Wii U, but at $6 with 3D I'll biting.

The Naruto SD game has a demo? ...downloading ASAP.
I'm just jokin' with him, we tite.
I haven't played it, but we usually share the same opinion on things so I'm probably not going to bother with it.
It wasn't easy.
Mega Man has that reputation for being really hard, but difficulty basically peaked at Mega Man 1. It's the only one I consider too hard.Mutant Mudds almost seems overpriced considering it's 0.99 USD on iOS AND that it was free for a while.
Anyways, I was hoping The Denpa Men got a discount but since it didn't I just purchased it along with Unchained Blades. I was craving some new 3DS RPGs for a while and now I do, yay! #happy3dsowner

The only problem with Mega Man 2 is the insane-o (insanely crappy) boss rush at the end that depletes you before three fricking stages of Wiley.
You just need a lot of patience to replay the stages and learn boss patterns. That, and Magnet beam abuse; screw those glitched moving platforms that will sometimes send you to your doom for no reason.
While I'm ashamed to say I did use save states to give myself unlimited retries against Fire Man, Yellow Devil and the Copy Robot when I first beat the game, I then managed to beat it without using continues. The hardest boss fight for me has to be Fire Man, I just can't dodge his bullets consistently.
I have a question regarding the region locking in the 3DS regarding the eShop downloads.
Let's say I import one from the US - would I be able to access and buy stuff in the US eShop from Europe? With the use of a credit card, or eShop cards or something like that?
I'd like to take advantage of 3DS XL + Luigi = free game campaign and would buy everything on the eShop either way, so it wouldn't affect me that 3DS cards are region locked.

Once you get to the boss rush, you're already past the worst part of the game which is that room full of shielded blasters which can only be killed by crash bombs. Use one bomb too many and you'll be restoring from your latest password/save state since there's no energy to spare.
At least by the time you hit the bosses you're likely to know their weaknesses and can take them down without too much fuss.

Bullfrogs are actually quiet intelligent creatures, given their brain size and place they hold on the food chain in their given eco system.
Sounds good - I won't have to use a VPN or anything like that? Can I use a german charging station?
Hmmm...maybe I will save the $5

Mega Man one is super hard. I beat it without save states when I was in elementary school. It took such dedication and time that when I bought it again on 3DS I still had muscle memory for all the enemies and jump timings nailed.
I'm amazed though that I beat it at the tender age of 8.

Still there. Just turn 3D off and it's not really a problem.
Glad I haven't registered my XL yet. Gonna get Star Fox!

It's because digital downloads are not "real games" in some people's eyes. It's hilarious.
I can't wait to try the demo for Harmoknight.
normal for eShop trailers. They're always heavily compressed and artefact-y
Guys, do we know the release dates for the eShop games on Europe? I think I saw Q2 for Donkey Kong VS Mario(Btw, i think it's really good) and Feb 28 for Splash n Crash. And nothing more... The other games? HarmoKnight?! Also, after OoT 3D, do we know if other titles will follow the sales?
Oh and the DKCR3D video's 3D is the best.

The walls stay blown up and there's free weapon energy at the beginning of the level. You can also farm those infinite spawn monsters on the way down.

There's a certain level of scope, production value, promotion, and visibility that really needs to combine for a game to break through digitally. If you look in the past on GAF, Flower, Journey, Castle Crashers, Minecraft, Tiny Tower, Braid, Trials, Limbo, and a few others have broken through. On Nintendo platforms, probably only World of Goo and maybe Pushmo have broken through. There's been a lot of very well respected games released that get high praise in here, but they never quite reach site-wide resonance.
As Nintendo's digital stuff continues approaching modernity (demos, sales, promoting releases) they'll get more exposure.
I don't think Dillon will ever really get wide exposure in part because I don't think it's a particularly good example of the genre. (It's not terrible, although as a left-handed person I admit I haven't given it as much time as I should have). But Pushmo was pretty well loved across the site and elsewhere online.
Even still, I don't think it'll end the new IP complaint any more than MS's XBLA investments end complaints about new IPs from them. Sony doesn't get as many complaints about failing to bring out new IP, but I wouldn't say many of their first-party DD offerings really end up making the lists, except Pixeljunk during the Monsters-Eden phase and the thatgamecompany stuff.

Got me, but I definitely did as a kid.
Actually, I have a much harder time now because the Yellow Devil is the only part that truly gives me trouble and the original had a cheap trick for killing him quickly.

It wasn't easy.
None of the Mega Man's are cheap, Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania (NES) are though.
Memorization can get you past the bosses/stages. I've managed to beat every Mega Man as a kid and an adult. The original 6 anyways, I've yet to play 9/10 on my PS3.
Never cared to much for 7 or 8. Remind me too much of the X games...not my cup of hot chocolate.

Mega Man 1 is hard because you can't cheese it with E-tanks and the robot master gauntlet doesn't give health drops.
Mega Man 2 has arguably the hardest Wily castle of the first 6 games including the original spike gauntlet and the most annoying boss in the entire series.

Hmm. Fair enough if it was a streamed trailer, but if they are going to make me go to the trouble of downloading it they could have done better with it.
I wonder this to.
So more likely than not I'll be eligible for a free 3DS game (if I decide to buy LM2)
Should I get Art Academy or Starfox? I loathe Freakyforms, have Layton/wouldn't want it digital, and I've already played 3D Land to death for me to be interested in always having it on me. I already have Starfox but that's a perfect game to always have due to its pick up and play nature so a free digital version is very enticing. I've never played an Art Academy and I like to draw, but I don't really need the lessons all that badly...

Bit.Trip Saga is great. Runner alone makes the purchase worth it.
Art Academy is boring. You can't go wrong with Star Fox 64.
I still can't justify it for a $20 game (i.e. Freaky Forms), but I'm trying to convince myself that it'll be worth it to get SM3DL digitally. They should be coming out with the "transfer your cartridge save to your digital version" tool soon, and I never went back through and played through all the levels again as Luigi. May be worth it to chip away at that a little at a time to have it in digital form. As far as Platinum, yeah, in the same position, so there's no *big* reason to save them for a subsequent year. Just don't like cashing in the registration coins before absolutely have to. :lol
Oh god, Bit Trip Beat + stylus = INSANE HAND CRAMPS. I seriously doubt I can even make it through an entire level. The circle pad controls are pretty bad too. Why the hell isn't there an option to control it with tilt? That's how the game was meant to be played, after all.
The collection is still worth it at $10 for Runner alone, though I did notice a few frame drops in that game even in 2D mode.

Well I'd say the extra price is worth it just for having decent controls
Fire Emblem has two new pieces of DLC. Champions of Yore 3 and The Golden Gaffe for $2.50 each. There's also a new Golden Pack bundle for $6.00.
Yes, I will be giving my money to Nintendo once done with Brain Age for the day. (Want to keep the average play time for FE high, so have been trying to segregate my Brain Age/Fire Emblem time into discrete periods instead of doing off and on between them. Yes, I care about my average/total gametime rankings on the 3DS.
)"Colors! 3D" is the better drawing app and is cheaper. Where Art Academy excels is in the Art lessons.

If you don't feel like you need the lessons, I'd just get Star Fox instead.
Bro. Buy Bit.Trip Saga and play Runner right off the bat. That alone makes the collection a steal.
And then if you end up liking Runner1 get Runner2 which comes out on WiiU this month!
There is one over in the community section. I got the game late and the discussion was already long dead.

Any thoughts on GB colour Legend of the River King by Natsume? Worthy of a purchase when it comes out?
