A monday without full PR always leaves me at my grumpiest.
SCREW YOU NINTENDO PR PERSON. (sorry)
I might bite on Pokemon Snap, never played it, but I really like the game idea. Not looking forward to the controls and N64 graphics, so it might depend on the price. There's no reason to expect a discount for this for release though unfortunately.
Why not put it up as a MyNintendo reward? Hm? No? Okay. ._.
How is "Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns"? I see that it got middling reviews on Metacritic, but after having entered the genre with Stardew Valley, I am kinda itching to have a game of this type on a handheld, and the current EU sale makes me tempted.

Inazuma Eleven The Movie, Arait Multimedia £3.59 (3.99)
80 years after Raimon Jr. High won the Football Frontier, football has gained a strong popularity and Marks relentless spirit and his style of cherishing his teammates, which contributed to their victory, has influenced many people to love football. However, there are some people who arent happy with this situation. The revolutionaries, led by Seymour Hillman, believe football weakens the minds of children in the future. They think that the cause of this is the captain of Raimon Jr. High, Mark Evans, so they formed the strongest team, consisting of specially trained soldiers, and called it Team Ogre. They send the team to the Football Frontier 80 years in the past to stop Raimon Jr. High becoming champions and to change history.

Oh my god that Inazuma Eleven movie "plot". D: I stopped watching the anime after the first season, because the season ended withAND NOW ALIENS!
Some of the Sega 3D Classics are on sale now (North America). It was mentioned on Thursday but I don't think it went into effect until today. All $2.99:
Gunstar Heroes
Out Run
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage 2
After Burner II
Super Hang-On
Space Harrier
Shinobi III
Ecco the Dolphin
Would heartily recommend Out Run if you don't have it.
The first few games have been on sale before, might be the first time the newer games are on sale though.
There's some repetition (I think Word Logic is crossbuy)
America's sole VC game tomorrow is Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs.
http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/pokemon-ranger-guardian-signs-wii-u
Cool, Poncho looks really charming, had my eye on that one for awhile.
Which of the Ranger games is the best? Might as well give one a shot.
I was previously very psyched for it but the initial official reviews for steam were worrying. I never checked back to see if the user reviews or later official reviews were better, though.

Thank you, Ondore! I wonder what the end-of-summer sale will be.
sales
Thank you both. Weird to discount RL to $20 when it was $10 not too long ago.
If I don't have Adventure of Link I suppose it's time to get it.
Nice to see LBW and CRZL on sale.
I don't understand the 3DL pricing. Wasn't it dropped to $20 already?
As to Pushmo, please get it if you haven't played it, amazing game.
ETA: Oh! SMG. Yay! Now I can get it digitally. I only had SMG2 I think.
Here, they loaded it

Not really, but you can find open sessions, iirc. I've been playing a few times after the second last sale or so. A caveat, there's only a European Miiverse forum.Does RE 3DS Mercenaries still have a player base?
