Yep. And AA6 made the sale for me. Still need to get Senran Kagura eventually.

Wish Nintendo had something for us on Christmas. Oh well

Book of Unwritten Tales 2 stands out to me at $4...is the Wii U controller well-used for this or is it just analog cursor control?
When you attempt to delete a game it will ask you if you want to save data backup first before going through with it.
Have you played every other RPG on the platform? If you have, Lord of Magna is decent.
It's really not very good at all.
It depends on the person. I enjoyed it for what it was, a halfway decent brawler with a run-of-the-mill story and fanservice.

Strange for Nintendo to have a Christmas sale and not even discount their own gamesz
Well, I haven't played Crimson Girls but the first game left a lot to be desired, especially in the performance area.
I payed full price on release but I would say it isn't worth more than $15.
The games have been getting better and better with every entry, specially performance-wise.

Debating on MH Generations. I enjoyed MH4 a lot but never finished it. I definately enjoyed it a lot though.
Any impressions on MHG from non die hard MH fans?

This is a really sad sale. Nintendo didn't even bother putting any of their own games into it, jeez.
I was hoping that maybe they'd do something for Boxing Day, but I'd forgotten that's just a Canada thing.
Oh well. Between this, not wanting anything from the PS4 deals, and a mediocre Steam Sale, I've "saved" more money by actually not buying games this week. XD

Can someone confirm if the Steamworld Heist DLC is on sale on 3DS like it is on Steam?

What are the best multiplayer games on the list?
Monster hunter. Of those, 4U is the best one.

Tried the demo for Runbow and it hitches and jumps frames quite horribly. Did they patch that, because otherwise I think I love it.

Not sure if it applies to all games but SteamWorld Heist is until 01/05.

Yeah, it's the first three games in the series.
Well, I grabbed Steamworld Dig and I like it. I've always enjoyed the type of old-school dungeon-crawler (mostly western) RPGs where you can't go very deep at first and have to repeatedly return to town to survive as you slowly get farther and farther with each trip. So a platformer take on it is fun.

I got it as well, but I'm not really crazy about it. Seems repetitive to me. Just got the drill tho and it's speeding up, plus it feels linear.
I hear that Heist is much better and different tho?
It's a totally different game.
I like Dig as a game to relax and chill in. Don't need to play for very long, it's short as it is.
I played a bit of MH3U, and hadn't played a MH since. Picked up Generations during the last sale, and I really like it, but after the initial 4 or so hours I haven't booted it up again.
I really need people to explore / hunt with to enjoy it, I think, but none of my friends have a 3DS. I want to get into it, but I don't think i can do it solo. It really is wonderful and polished, though. A lot of charm, and I can tell that serious players could easily sink hundreds of hours into it.
As for me, I think I'm going to pick up one of the Steamworld games. Do you need to play Dig before Heist? I know they're different, and it almost sounds like I should go straight to Heist, but I remember hearing great things about Dig.
They're not on sale, but I also want to get into Picross 3D Round 2 and Pushmo. Funds are limited, though. Not sure what to pick up. I also wanna play SMT IV:A. Damn...
As someone who isn't quite a hardcore MH fan (and someone who played MH4U a bunch), I was really disappointed with MHGen. The single player, the monster lineup, and the environments all felt like a major step back from MH4U.
Plus, not to mention, MHXX is just around the corner, so there's not much of a reason to get MHGen.
These and Monster Hunter Generations half off I gotta get.
Is the windjammers knock off worth 4 bucks? Power disc or something?

Hm.. Do things like Dr. Mario and Kirby Fighters Deluxe ever go on sale?
I just want some fun multiplayer games.
Where the heck is freaky forms? Not available on store for some reason even though they are advertising it in their local play section.

I disliked Dig, I finished it. But yeah, it was kind of boring and tedious.
Heist is one of the best games on the entire 3DS games. It was my 3DS GOTY last year, it's that's good. Think a 2D XCom or Valkryia Chronicles. It's a turn based, aim/line up your shot game.

Is Senran Kagura an unlisted part of the sale or something? I don't have access to my 3DS until Friday.

I've got $50 for the eShop so I guess I gotta do some reading. Steamworld Heist is a must, and I was thinking about MonHun X to get into the series since it's so cheap but also XX is probably coming soon.
JPN?

grabbed legend of dark witch 2 since I keep on forgetting to buy it before. also, since when us eshop accepts non-us credit/debit cards?
Just got my kid a 2DS for Christmas (he wanted Pokemon),
it's boxing day here in Canada (kinda like black friday for the US) and there is not a single retailer or online store that has any Nintendo 3DS games on sale (He wanted smash, mario 3d and mario maker). He's going to end up spending his xmas money to take advantage of some greate PS4 game sales instead
I forgot how ridiculous Nintendo was

I have more bad news for you. After next year, 3DS game prices will increase because Nintendo will drop 3DS in favour of Switch.
Not a big deal, my son is just in a Pokemon craze and will probably not be using the thing in a few months.
It's more of a shame that they never seem to put their flagship games on sale
What do you mean by that?
Only games with very low printings hold value or go up in price.
Besides, eShop is always an option.

Sale ends on 1/1/17, correct?

Hm...
I'm still seeing things like Runbow and Steamworld Heist discounted. Weird that I can't seem to find a definitive end date.

I would highly recommend Steamworld Dig for the sale price of $2~(?). However it is a VERY short game. I beat it in 3 hours. Just as soon as the game got going, it was over. It was really disappointing in that respect. However if you go in knowing this you should be able to enjoy it. The regular asking price is a joke.
Nah, the regular asking price is $8. That's fine. I've payed more for shorter games (Journey).
But $2 is certainly a great value. I just wish it was more replayable. The game randomly seeds the mine with each new game but it never gets more challenging.
