Sorry, that text came out real small for some reason. Is that the 3DS version of Shantae?  The pixelated graphics don't look too appealing on the big screen.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and Mighty Switch Force 2 are on sale starting Sunday through Sunday, August 2.

Is that the 3DS version of Shantae?  The pixelated graphics don't look too appealing on the big screen.

That's a shame.  I mean, Dark Pit is almost as cool as Shadow the Hedgehog.

I took the trouble to copy/paste into a Word document my List of Products Registered from my Club Nintendo Account. You never know when it might come in handy. I have heard of folks using the Club Nintendo records when they lose their 3DS's and whatnot, to help convince Nintendo Service that they should be able to re-download all their stuff. I reccomend this to everyone.
I also copied my List Of Rewards obtained from Club Nintendo, just for fun. Might be handy for comparison purposes if and when Ninty ever gets around to announcing their replacement loyalty program.

Good idea.  It's nice for the memories, too.

I like how you went straight through a pole around the two-minute mark. ^_^


Everything seemed dull.  I'm getting the feeling this game will be easily ignore-able.

I like being able to search by difficulty and get a preview.  I was concerned about how N would handle the online, but this is all great news. ^_^

I'm not at all interested in paying money to bring back old characters when there are already 49 in the game...

Yes, Friends of Mineral Town was definitely my favorite in the series, though I didn't play the series much after that, so I don't have much to compare it to.  I'd definitely recommend it to Harvest Moon fans who missed it the first time around.

I haven't gotten any 3DS themes yet, but man, I've seen the Eevee and Evolutions theme, and it's too darn cute to pass up...

As a fan of Japanese music, I'm disappointed to see Miku get delayed.  Hopefully they're making meaningful improvements to it.

Actually, the season of the Animal Crossing track is chosen randomly: it doesn't change with the real-life seasons.

The character design's not doing much for me, but I'm real glad this is looking to be a true successor to Banjo-Kazooie.  (I hope it's better than Tooie: I found the gargantuan worlds tedious.)  And it's great to hear a Wii U version is being planned.

Hmm...  I'm gold status, and just about every game on the list is one I have or one I don't want.  I don't play puzzle games often, but I think I'll give Pushmo a shot.  Based on reviews, Crashmo can be tough for newcomers.

Meowth?  We don't need another 1st-gen Pokemon.  The 9-Volt idea is interesting, though, and so is the Splatoon Inkling.  And I miss the Ice Climbers.

A spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie that wouldn't have a ludicrous number of items to find like in Donkey Kong 64...  Man, I hope this game makes it to the Wii U.  B-K is one of my all-time favorites.

Edit: just to be clear about that, when you go to a save station you have 3 options: save (no cost), save & restore the unit checking the station to full health/steam for a low cost, & save & restore the entire team to full health/steam for a large cost.

Thanks for the info.


I'm still kind of on the edge about this game.  I love the visuals, but I'm not hearing a whole lot of good about the gameplay...

How long is each battle?  Can you save mid-battle?  I don't mind some challenge, but whenever a game has me repeating 20+ minutes of material every time I make a mistake, I get frustrated real fast.
