You can read our review of VVVVVV to see if you want to check the game out.
Check out Nintendo's official blurb on the sale below:
This weekend’s featured title VVVVV – a game inspired by the classic 8-bit era and the direction of gravity – is available at a special price of $4.99. Offer is valid from 9 a.m. Pacific time on Friday, June 29, through 9 p.m. Pacific time on Sunday, July 1
This is a great game. I bought it off Steam for $1.49 a while back. which is why I can't bring myself to pay 8 or even 5 dollars for it on 3DS. Cheap? Maybe. But sorry I just feel 8 dollars ir ridiculous. The sale price needs to become the normal price; then discount that price down 3 dollars and I would consider.
Either way I can't knock Nintendo for trying to give us a deal. Hopefully they will make sales on eShop and VC more common practice.
I got it yesterday, & so far it's pretty cool but I don't see why people gush over it as they have. It just seems one of those games that's only popular because it's hard & the music is catchy.
Awesome game, awesome price. The eShop version has MUCH more content than the Steam one. (I own both.)Have you played VVVVVV since the 2.0 update? It should have all the content (except for stereoscopic visuals) and more (level editor); it's just that not all of the extra stages are built in, but you can still download and install them.
