Renegade Kid confirms what we all suspected.

And yet another Flappy Bird clone released to the eShop as well but who gives a crap.

Still nothing new on AVGN Adventures I am giving up hope this game will ever surface on consoles.

Curve Digital just announced that OlliOlli will be cross buy in all regions on Wii U and 3DS. Just got the press release.

Helps that they're starting this with a good game. OlliOlli is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1-3 packaged as a 2D sidescroller. Maybe not purely in terms of gameplay, but it the combo system in OlliOlli is just as fun and addictive as the one in THPS. I have the game on Vita, but I'd kill to play the game with proper analog sticks. Of course, I dunno how the game will translate to the 3DS.

Our long national nightmare is now over. Meme Run has been pulled from the eShop. I'm surprised it took this long for Activision to make a claim.

Soren · « **Reply #135 on:** March 04, 2015, 09:48:10 AM »

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars page is now up on the eShop.

The game is $20.

Sooooo is a game really crossbuy when it feels like you're paying for both versions?

Phil · « **Reply #136 on:** March 04, 2015, 11:41:33 AM »

I'm having a lot of fun with the game, and the level creator is top-notch. I can see myself losing a lot of hours making levels and playing them, too.

EDIT: Launch dates/release periods for various Wii U and 3DS eShop games:

Soren · « **Reply #137 on:** March 04, 2015, 12:23:50 PM »

I dunno, the level creators is not really new. You're paying a premium for the tipping system and crossbuy, which kinda defeats the purpose of crossbuy.

One you didn't mention in your other notable releases that people should pay attention to is Antipole DX. It's an enhanced remake of one of my favorite DSiWare title, a platformer with gravity switching mechanics.

Stratos · « **Reply #139 on:** March 04, 2015, 04:31:22 PM »

I'm excited for Swords & Soldiers 2. I almost bought the HD remaster but held out since they announced 2 and I have the first on WiiWare.

Also excited for Steamworld Heist.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #140 on:** March 04, 2015, 08:44:54 PM »

Stratos is reading my mind, I'm most excited for those two games as well! Never Alone looks beautiful, but the Giant Bomb quick look made the game look pretty dull.

The embargo for reviews for Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars has ended, so here is my review:

I'm pretty excited for a number of these titles, actually. SteamWorld Heist is high on my list- I love strategy and I love Image and Form. Elliot Quest looks really satisfying too. I never played the first Trine and after that gorgeous Trine 3 trailer I'm looking to see if this series is all its cracked up to be. Also, Mutant Mudds is one of my favorite platformers ever so Super Challenge is right up my alley. I am kinda really excited about Affordable Space Adventures, is that weird? I'm pretty happy about Box Boy! as well.

Sad that indie offerings are what is more immediate and satisfying this year rather than full retail games on Wii U or 3DS, but hopefully that means Nintendo is working hard on something decent for 2016...

Although I did notice something. Slain!, a fantastic looking title, is listed for release on Wii U when the kickstarter for the game isn't even funded and has no Wii U goal as of yet. What gives?

Stratos · « **Reply #143 on:** March 05, 2015, 08:26:03 PM »

I just noticed that Dementium The Ward is coming to 3DS. Do we know if this is a remake similar to Moon Chronicles? I'm loving the 3DS remake and would buy all of their FPS titles on the 3DS.

Shaymin · « **Reply #144 on:** March 05, 2015, 10:20:53 PM »

That's exactly what it is - except it won't be episodic.

rlse9 · « **Reply #145 on:** March 05, 2015, 11:17:47 PM »

Never Alone looks interesting to me.

Good. I would prefer to buy it as one entire package. What else did they do FPS-wise other than Moon and Dementium 1 & 2? Did I forget one?

Soren · « **Reply #147 on:** March 10, 2015, 12:22:32 PM »

Trine Enchanted Edition will launch at $14.99, but if you bought Trine 2 you get a 20% discount. The offer also applies in reverse.

Soren · « **Reply #148 on:** March 11, 2015, 10:29:54 AM »

Interesting little tidbit on OlliOlli's cross buy promotion. If you have multiple NNID's on your Wii U system and buy OlliOlli on one of them, you can get a free 3DS copy on any of the NNID's that were registered on your Wii U at the time of purchase. One purchase would get you more than 2 copies of the game depending on how many 3DS systems you have linked with a NNID on a Wii U.

Nothing, unless you consider Cult County to be a thing. But we don't speak of that anymore.
