Gonna download the Project x Zone demo now and let you guys know how it plays.

I'm in England, so I have it on the eShop right now!


It's called Project x Zone: A lethal Surprise.

In the UK it costs £27.99 eShop. That's really cheap for a launch game! I'll download it and report back.

Demo is 964 blocks.

'Demo A'. I guess Namco's planning on releasing another demo eventually?

Your continental brethren have it as well. They must have updated the eShop a little early today. Just started downloading.

Shame I can't buy DKCR yet.

Excellent! Gonna try it now.

I got DKCR today in the mail a day early. It's excellent on 3DS.

So far, Project X Zone is terrific fun.

Game runs in 60fps and the combat is awesome! I love the combos and little animated cutscenes when initiating the super moves.

I love the Japanese voices too.

dempamen 1&2 seems to be on sale atm.
dempa 1 is 6,39€, dempa 2 is 9,99€ (2nd one doesnt look very reduced to me. was it already more expensive from the start?)

so, which one to get?

Denpa 1 was very cute in presentation, but very bare bones (and boring) in its gameplay. Apparently Denpa 2 has expanded quite a bit in that department, but you'll have to ask someone that owns it for the specifics. I would steer clear of the original.

Huh. So not only do we not get a free Kirby's Dreamland 3 with purchase of the other two games in Europe, we just don't get the game at all.

And frankly, that the one I was looking forward to most. :\

Finished Project X Zone's rather short demo.

Game gives you one map and a goal to wipe everything out. I'd say it's very impressive. Music is fitting to each set of characters and the chaotic gameplay is tremendous. For such a low price too, i'm going to make this my first eShop download.

Graphics are great, sprites animate flawlessly and the anime style cut-ins look brilliant too. 3D is used subtly, but well and honestly, it's pretty damn fun.

I normally dislike strategy RPG's like this, but this works amazingly.

Agreed. It's incredibly chaotic, but a lot of fun. I recognise most of the characters but haven't played Sakura Wars and some of the other games, so the references are beyond me.

So my best team were Ryu & Ken, which also gave me the best fight music.

I really like it, will buy.

That's the only one I wanted. I already own the other two. :/

Well at least I don't have to feel too bad that my Kirby boycott resulted in missing out on a tiny discount.

Ryu & Ken definitely had the best music. I recognised only two characters, which were them two, but I found it incredibly enjoyable and the effects were fun to watch.

I'm 100% sold. I'll replay it later to get used to controls some more.

Denpa Men is one of those games I've been considering buying forever. I'd buy it today if the sale was more like 50% off.

All these VC sales are making me jelly. :( I've been waiting on buying a Wii U until either a price drop or The Wonderful 101.

Fuck you nintendo, Dreamland 3 was the one I wanted most due to the snes version never reaching europe but for some reason that means it can't come to the european VC either.

On european VC it's just dream course, superstar and 30% off on both if you've bought Kirby's Adventure...

Europe got Kirby's Adventure as part of the Famicom deal right? That doesn't sound so bad. Never realized 3 never came out there. Hopefully they'll get that up as an import.

Want to start planning for my AC:NL download as my SD card is nearly full. Can anyone give me any input on these class 10, 32GB cards?

http://www.mymemory.co.uk/compatible-memory/Gaming/Nintendo/Nintendo+3DS_Memory_Cards?&filters=size:32768|Class:class 10

Is the recommended Sandisk model worth £10 more than the one next to it or am I just paying for the brand name?

SanDisk is generally great quality and works very well with 3DS. Plus that model has a higher read/write speed (45 mb/s) than the other SD card.

If you don't mind spending more money, I would say go for it.

Dreamland 3 will come out here, don't worry. Just annoying it wasn't today.

We got it on Wii and being an import doesn't matter as Wii U already has the Japanese only Mario's Super Picross.

Right, it's not a bad deal perse but I mainly would've gotten them for 3. I already own dream course on snes and super star on both snes and DS.

Nintendo! You need folders for the Wii U ASAP! I now have far too many icons on my homescreen than I know what to do with.

But in seriousness, I'm glad we're getting some great titles, hopefully this is a continuing trend.

Last night I bought Liberation Maiden, and I must admit that I'm really impressed by it. It's much better than I expected, I'm really digging the gameplay mechanics. 2 levels in, out of 5, and it probably has nice replayability, at least until I get every achievement (which would take a minimum of 20 playthroughs, as there's one for beating it 10 times on Normal and another on Hard).

I'm thinking about getting DKCR3D, but I have it on Wii and never played much of it. Is the 3DS version worth owning? I doubt I'm ever going to play it on my old console, so it'd be nice to have it in portable fashion, which would allow me to play in bed (or why not, in the bathroom too).

Is it kinda like Fire Emblem? I liked the demo of that game, and I may get it from the eShop somewhere down the line, despite not being a strategy fan.

Seriously. By the time Folders arrive, I'll have 4 or 5 full pages (have 3 full pages now of just games)

I have DKCR and tell you it's worth it as it's portable and feels better on the 3DS.

Project X Zone is like Fire Emblem indeed. Imagine Fire Emblem but the ability to actually fight and brilliantly over the top action.

This is made all the odder by the fact Dream Course and Super Star are actually American versions (they were not translated so no reason to give all of Europe a crappy 50Hz version).

We already had a rift in VC titles on day 1 thanks to Picross but now it continues to expand. I don't get why its so hard, all regions have same VC titles at the same time.
