There’s nothing coming out in stores this week, so load up on eShop goodness.

This is the kind of week we love – all kinds of major eShop titles to take a share of $60. As was previously announced, FAST Racing Neo speeds into your Wii U memory at roughly Mach 2, while it’s all about the survival on the 3DS with SteamWorld Heist (with discount until the corks pop) and the port of a PC survival hit… Terraria. (If you’re looking for the other one, it’s next week).

Even the unexpected titles are at least on my radar – Circle Entertainment is bringing out a visual novel that was sold episodically in Japan as part of the Petit Novel series, “Harvest December” while Aksys and Arc System Works drop a game that had the misfortune of being revealed before Zero Time Dilemma in Radiohammer. The Virtual Console picks up the Medabots GBA RPGs from Natsume (Metabee and Rokusho).

The big 3 are hitting Europe as well, in addition to Harvest December, plus grab your Roll ‘n Rocker and chill the Rolling Rock, the Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures are coming. (Note: Games do not actually support the Roll ‘n Rocker.) A couple of interesting GBA games are on the Virtual Console for Europe, with the newest Game and Watch Gallery plus a game that you might be more familiar with as a DS launch title.

Talkback

Fast Racing NEO and Steamworld Heist are must haves.

Might finally pick up Aeterno Blade at that price.

And I'm sure millions (AND MILLIONS!) of people will be downloading Devil's Third. I expect servers to crash due to its popularity.

Did Neal not let you drop in a Devil's Turd in there somewhere?

Lots of good content this week.
Can't afford any... and not sure I'll have any free gaming time for the next few months anwyay since Xenoblade Chronicles X has finally arrived... but still lots of very good stuff.

$75 for Devil's Third? Yeah, no.
I realize the Canadian dollar is worth about 30 percent less than the U.S. dollar right now but my discretionary income has not increased by a commensurate amount. In fact, it hasn't increased at all. There's been a wage freeze for years.
So, if Nintendo of Americas wants to sell anything in Canada at all, it really should consider eating a hefty portion of the exchange rate; preferably all of it. There's not a snowball's chance in Hell I will buy a single piece of software until it is on sale at least enough of a discount to resemble a "normal" price. And when exactly did new games go from being $50 to $60 and beyond? When did that little sneak show happen? It reminds me of how I am paying roughly the same price for many packaged grocery store items but getting 10 to 20 percent less in the package. Have y'all noticed this one? It's not restricted to Canada, it's everywhere and every company is doing it.
Grumble grumble. And get off my lawn!
