Please ignore the news tip I sent in. Posted this early on the forums, but didn't see this news post until now.
Glad Europe is now part of the fun.

I'm in.  Good set of games.  Rhythm Thief is one I've wanted to play, but never got around to.

[ejamer]

Nice!  That's a very solid list of games - Affordable Space Adventures, Shantae, and Freedom Planet were all on my wishlist.


I've also wanted to try Rhythm Thief but retail copies disappeared before I bought in.  Even though I prefer physical, it's hard to refuse digital when it's part of a fantastic deal like this.

Which version of Citizens of Earth is superior? I seem to recall hearing problems about one of the versions and can't remember which one. Have to make the choice between Wii U and 3DS

[JRokujuushi]

Going by this site's review, the Wii U version had some game breaking bugs.

Said review also says it would be updated once the problem had been fixed, but it's been over a year without being updated.  However, other sites seem to have reported that a patch has been released to fix the issues.

[ejamer]

Oooh... I did a quick search about which version was better, but couldn't find anything so pick Wii U. 
Fingers crossed it's not broken.

Are there any major differences between Shantae on the Wii U and Shantae on the 3DS?  If not, I'm thinking of giving one code to a friend.

Do you prefer your fanservice in HD or 3D? That's pretty much it.

Yeah, there was a patch that cut the load times in half and seemed to fix most of the hard lock bugs.

[ForgottenPearl]

Thanks.  I guess I have a more general question too: Is it worth playing the original Shantae, or should I skip ahead to the Shantae 2 Director's Cut that came out recently?  Will I miss much in terms of story?

[Lemonade]

This one is available in Australia, so I got it. I had never bought one of these bundles before.

I was mainly interested in Shantae and Affordable Space Adventures. I already own Street Fighter, Darksiders and Freedom Planet. Im not interested in the other games.

[ShyGuy]

Nice to have another one of these! You'd be crazy not to go for it.

[ejamer]

Freedom Planet is so good.  (You know, based on the 30 minutes that I played... not really a fair sample, but it starts out good at least.)  Same goes for Shantae.


Haven't had time to try the others, but am looking forward to it.


What a crazy deal.

[ShyGuy]

My dang 3DS SD card was full!

[Phil]

Yeah, I had to delete about 8,000 blocks worth of games (to be fair, many I didn't plan on playing and many were 1,000-2,000 blocks anyway) to fit Rhythm Thief on mine.

[Wah]

I have 90% of these games.

Brought Street fighter for $5 on sale at EB.

[Enner]

Sure, I'll spend $13 to try out that Street Fighter 3DS game.

I love humble bundles.

My steam library is full of games i got for free from kind people posting spare codes on 4han.

That's how i got Freedom Planet.

I actually wanted Shantae for 3DS, but i wiil wait until they reveal full list of games should i bother with BTA tier or just go with just 1$.

I loved the Humble Bundle last year, and I'm glad it's continuing this year with a great set of games. I've always wanted to play Freedom Planet and Affordable Space Adventures. Although I've played Shantae and Retro City Rampage, it's nice to have a portable version for replay. And adding an old retail game like Rhythm Thief is icing on the cake! It's actually pretty fun so far, so I'm glad more people will be able to experience this!
