Did you try pulling on the system? It's attached by magnets.

I'm kinda... Disappointed in this week's Nintendo Video. Although it is a special one I
was waiting for some exclusive footage like when they did MK and 3Dland but it never
really delivered.
Wow at that tv moment though.
Also for as long as RE4's been out... why was it there?

I could not find a legitimate way to dodge one of the first boss's attacks in Sakura Samurai. I ended up beating him by throwing a frog at him. Kind of a bummer. It seems like a neat game otherwise. When enemies rush at you one after another, it really captures the feeling of classic samurai movies.

Damn, that sucks. Wonder if perhaps it has something to do with your SD card. Are you using the stock card that came with your system?
I thought the same thing. I have tried both with the SD that came with the system and another one. Same problem, it says "loading" and stays same. Even the home button isn't working.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
What's the fw version you are at?

Got it to work!
Just keep redownloading, and use the "Download Later" option. I think this problem might be related to internet connection issues (it's raining here).

I got Sakura Samurai and I think it's pretty cool so far. I guess it is kind of like Punch-Out!! in a way, but it really doesn't play like Punch-Out!!. You evade and attack based on the little tells the enemies give you like in Punch-Out!!, but you have multiple enemies around you and you can run around. I'd say the gameplay feels a little more like Monster Hunter than Punch-Out!!. You attack and evade going by the monster's tells, get items to use, and have to keep your weapon sharp with whetstones in MH too.

They're obviously too busy trying to come up with an alternate title for PAL regions to actually release Sakura Samurai here. Guess they'd feel silly just using the same name as everywhere else after Pullblox and Nintendo Letter Box
Wow, Sakura Samurai is really really amazing. Fun simple concept really well executed and presented, works brilliantly as a handheld title for fast play sessions IMO. Eshop is pretty fantastic as of late. I like the variety of the games we are getting.
I´d put sakura samurai in the same category as Pushmo and mighty switch force as far as must have DD games for the system right now.

Since those previous two name changes sound inspired very much by the actions of the game/application themselves i'm expecting something uninspired like "Sword Slicer" at this point because it's a game which involves slicing things...with a sword!

I bought Go Series: Undead Storm as well.
It's pretty fun. I wish they would have made it play more like Zombies Ate my Neighbors than a twin stick shooter. Fun little game worth $2 otherwise.
I'm gonna have my buddy download it as well for some multiplayer.

I guess this fits here.
Apparently Allison is leaving Nintendo Week. This is her final episode.

Ok just finished the first boss of SS and I gotta say I love it. It definately is what it pretends to be, a samurai combat game. Combat system is simple yet pretty elegant, dodge incoming attacks and attack when there's openings. Game doesn't rewarding for taking the initiative and attacking before they drop their swords on you, but rather for dodging in the last second.
Game is relatively tough if you're not careful and not know what you're doing. By experimenting in the second stage, my blade got dull and was pretty hard to kill enemies and I didn't have the dodge mechanic quite down, but started again and tried to be a lot less reckless and had great results. The precision point mechanic is great, as it involves risk/reward, while several enemies involve different patterns. Blocking can help you protect from enemies that you're not sure what they're capable off (saved me from the first boss for example) at the expense of dulling your sword.
Storming the castle courtyard and fighting tons of enemies felt really satyisfying. The game is very pretty to look at and to listen too. Towns and NPC's add a lot to the charm.
Really enjoying my time with it, and if you're looking for something like this I won't hesitate to recommend it.

I thought she and Dark Gary had something going too. She will be missed.
I think there's a problem here in that the companies eShop appeals to as a development prospect are ones who are small and have to be cautious enough that they'll only push for a single region at a time.
She had a great run on the show. I hope Phaea will take her place.

Yeah, I was thinking about adding more money to my balance, but I don't know how long it will take until I'm allowed to do it (I depend of other people's credit cards, it sucks). I'll take a deeper look at those series you mentioned - the only game I know of these is 10 Second Run (which looks pretty cool, I guess). Thank you =)

I bought Rabi Laby recently, and it's a pretty brilliant game. It's about on par with Braid and Limbo in terms of presenting fiendishly brilliant puzzles despite featuring extremely simple mechanics. Don't overlook it!

I watched the Heroes of Ruin video. Made me very excited to play the game. I wish the video was better quality and showed off the 3D though.

I wish I upgraded before getting to it. Was down to the wire. Thank you, frog!

Sakura Samurai is dodging and slicing Pushmo into a corner for best eShop 3DS title. I think it might just pull it out.
It's that good.

If only we could get the second and third game in the series too...
That's a pretty neat trick to be honest.
So if you just make a connection called attwifi it works?
Will it work on Windows?
You just blew my mind. I'll try this first thing in the morning.
