The only game I've picked up on this list is Wario Land, though I might pick up Planet Crashers depending on the NWR review.

KhushrenadaJuly 26, 2012

Wario Land! This is the game I've been waiting for most this 8-bit summer. Looking forward to finally being able to play it for the first time.

Nice to see the month of Mario sales doesn't mean that they took the place of the weekend discount. Good stuff.

I look forward to your reviews!

I'm definitely getting mole mania, and maybe wario down the road, but i'd really like to know if Planet crashers is worth it.
