I bought Warioland 2 last week and have just today finished it. That game is absolutely jam-packed with content. Finding every treasure and beating every level (Yes! Every level) took me over 20 hours. For a Gameboy game that's pretty crazy. Crucially though it was fun. Highly recommended.

And we're still waiting for Wario Land 2 in North America. Japan has had the game for weeks (months?).

Damn you NOA for withholding your own 1st-party games from us... Japan and Europe get VC games on a constant basis, yet North America is still far behind.

You don't see these problems with iOS or Android games. Most of the VC games on 3DS are 1st-party games, so there aren't any licensing issues to worry about.

Hit Best Buy and got Let's Tap, Rhythm Heaven Fever, and Street Fighter 4 3D for $17.

I got both Vanquish and Bayonetta off Amazon a few weeks ago. I am having a lot of fun with Vanquish, it is a blast to play. I only just started digging into Bayonetta but I am not too big on it so far (long cutscenes). Hopefully, that changes as I get further into the game.

So is NOA going to keep treating us like dicks? Or are they eventually going to catch up to Japan's VC releases? Wario Land 2 is a 1st-party title, so what's keeping it from the North American shop?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #406 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:24:26 PM »

Wario Land 2's definitely coming; it was on the handheld release list for the rest of the year Nintendo put out this week.

The Nerds & Men column you should be seeing very soon deals with this very issue.

Just got Rayman Origins at Best Buy for $10. I'm moving to a new apartment with 3 other roommates, and this will be a great way to break the ice. Too bad the Best Buy I went to didn't carry Rhythm Heaven Fever anymore (given the current $5), as we're all music students.

Can't wait to be done buying furniture and finally have enough for a Wii U + game or two so I can finally buy Xenoblade and The Last Story.

That's a great deal. Rayman Origins was super fun. Though I would hope you have already broken the ice with these people... y'know, since you're going to be living with them.

Mass Effect 3 for the PS3. $30 at FutureShop, and will ship within the next week or so.

Epic Meh-key special edition at Best Buy for $15. I figure if I hate the game, I can flip it for comic shop credit toward Power Girl and keep the cool Mickey figure and Wii Remote skin.

I bought New Super Mario Bros. 3 ... err 2 from the 3DS eShop. The game is very fun, but it seems too similar to the Wii game. I love the "coins coins coins" mechanic, and trying to get as many lives as possible makes scouring for 1-ups fun.

A rare and exotic arcade stick, the one I've always wanted (since 3 months ago anyway). Let's get her out of that box...

Mine at last! But oh dear, those garish button colors and mad layout are unbefitting of a classy stick such as yourself!

Just a peek inside... I got something I wanna put in you

.

after removing eight screws and six bolts ugh
Gorgeous! A real dark beauty!

SWAG

Also got some anime bullshit fighting games to go with my anime bullshit arcade stick! Yeah!

That is sweet!

All I got recently was Just Dance 3 for $10 and my wife decided to throw it away before it was opened.

When the announcement comes out next month that Project Zero 2 is getting released in North America, y'all can thank me for importing. Now if only I could find a copy of Fatal Frame 4 without breaking the bank...

Halbred · « **Reply #418 on:** September 01, 2012, 03:10:31 AM »

God of War Origins Collection: $20. Totally worth it. Already beat Chains of Olympus (that game goes by QUICK) and I'm in the middle of Ghost of Sparta. Dude, Ghost of Sparta looks INCREDIBLE, better than God of War II in HD, SRSLY.

Also the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection (I have a problem): $30. Also totally worth it. These games look amazing in HD. I can't wait to get to R&C3, because it's one of my absolute favorite PS2 games.

I saw today that Endless Space was now available for Mac, so I grabbed it off Steam. It's a 4X turn based strategy (think Civilization) game set in space, and after a few hours I'm in love with it. Its a worthy successor to Master of Orion 2.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #420 on:** September 11, 2012, 07:44:21 PM »

Dang it. I just went stupid nuts on a Gamefly sale. I purchased the following totalling $125

Kirby's Epic Yarn
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning PS3
Darkness II PS3
Final Fantasy XIII-2 PS3
Deus Ex: Human Revolution PS3
NCIS PS3
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 PS3
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron PS3
Silent Hill HD Collection PS3

Nine games, some for me, some for my wife, averaging about $14 a game. *sigh*

Excellent haul, Louie.

I just recently picked up FFXIII-2 and Cursed Mountain. Got a few other games I'm wanting to blaze through first. I might start FFXIII-2 afterwards, though!

Well, I just got in last Friday all of my Skylander Companions from the Frito-Lay Promotion. Haven't used them in the game yet.

Just bought Cover Orange for iOS - great little game

Counting down the days to the Wii U launch!!!
Top 3 games:
1. New Super Mario Bros U
2. Nintendo Land
3. ZombiU
Everything I know so far:
The Wii U is an upcoming home console from Nintendo and the first home console to be revealed of the Eighth generation. It features a tablet controller with a 6.5" touch screen, sensor bar, as well as traditional buttons and control sticks. The Wii U willl also feature full backwards-compatibility with the Wii and all controllers and peripherals for it, though Nintendo GameCube compatibility has been removed...

Just bought Air Conflicts: Secret Wars for 360, a game so obscure Wikipedia doesn't have an article for it.

I'm holding it until about 11am tomorrow, at which point I'm flipping it at Shop of the Future for the Kirby Collection
