All that work for nothing ;__;
Hours of my Saturday wasted
I see why they call you DoktorEvil

No offense taken, it's literally just something I came up with to demonstrate an example of alliteration. I had no idea it was gonna stick! The idea with the name was to a) give more context to the art style (ie "Doodle") and b) add a clear genre signifier (ie "Defense").
Whether or not people like that name, I really do think "ZaCisa's Last Stand" needs to be changed, but I don't mean to sound pushy, either.

Yea, the "Defense" part is cool, my issue is strictly with the word "Doodle." I think the current name is extremely bad, too.^^
What do we learn from that? I hate everything!
You know I should have just posted what I do have instead of asking for advice :-D
I have over 50 digital pieces of software on the WiiU. It's kind of insane. Most of if not all of the big VC games and indies and a handful of big retail titles.
I feel better about Another World and Master Reboot, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making a huge mistake by skipping Nano Assault (demo was meh, but I try not to hold demos against games) or World of Balance or something else on sale that may be a must have that I am glossing over.

Just don't forget to change it to "Tower Defence" in the UK
Just kidding. I think that's fine, personally. But then, Doodle Defense is probably fine too
470 points to next point card for DDP. Thinking about the following...
Redeemed CN coins for Metroid - 49
Spy Chameleon - 99
The Fall - 99
The following I am unsure...
Art of Touch - 67
Cubemen 2 - 79
Golden Sun - 79
Feel like I might be buying Golden Sun not to play it though.

Yeah, not a fan of "Doodle", either. I think I said this when this was first discussed but there was (I don't know if this has changed) a deluge of iOS games with 'doodle' in the title during the early years of the platform and they were mostly all terrible.
What about 'ZaciSa's Crayon Defense'? Or something outlandish like 'ZaciSa: Defense of the Crayon Dimension'?
Given how well it's selling, really doubt you will see it on sale anytime soon. Esp during Christmas period where sales will be much higher. Assuming eShop doesn't crash this time for 2+ days.........
"ZaciSa's Crayon Defense" is an interesting one. Kinda like "ZaciSa: Defense of the Crayon Dimension" too haha.

There is no Pokémon Bank that launches at the same time, forcing all the kids to create NNIDs. eShop will be fine.
I hope so. I hear that sale numbers for Christmas day/etc are suppose to be crazy! haha

Damn at the sales. I actually will have money before the deadline for once.
Steamworld Dig
Starship Damrey
Attack of the Friday Monsters
1,001 Spikes
NightSky
In addition with what I've already own:
Escape Vektor
Kerploosh
Burger Time Deluxe
Mario Golf (VC)
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (VC)
Ikachan
Bomb Monkey
I will have quite the 3DS Backlog for next year. Feels good. Plus I can start 1,001 Spikes as soon as I get it and it'll have its chance in my top 10 GOTY list. :O

My lame name suggestion is "ZaciSa's Defense: Drawing the Battle Lines". Has ZaciSa, has defense, has an awesome pun. You are welcome.
Since were on the subject of it, also trying to think up of a better eShop icon. Currently, when you enter the eShop, you will see this icon next to the game.
As you see, it kinda is boring. And really tells you nothing. So I started to come up with something more simple, after all is suppose to be an icon. How does something simple like this look?
or
Maybe not exciting, but perhaps better then what is there now? What do you think? Honest opinions.
People who played the game, might like the original better, as they understand what those things are. But those that never really gave it a glimpse, would just find it confusing. So I think something more simple might be in order.

Not just that, but there's no Pokémon Bank with ridiculous log in method that logs into the eShop twice and the Nintendo Network thrice before it lets you in
So I'm building a watch list on the 3ds eshop for games and I'm aiming for titles that make best use of the 3D for the New 3DS's release next year. Fire some suggestions at me.
AiRace Spe3D and it's standalone expansion Xeno has a great 3D effect which enhances the gameplay. It's also awesome.

I think the newer ones are slightly better, but if I could make a suggestion: maybe use an image of the pawns instead? They're the most common enemy from the game with a simple design that could work well as an icon too.

Sega 3D Classics!
The devs are trying to make a point about constant sales devaluing good games, IIRC.

It's really irritating that the Wii U doesn't automatically switch to wifi when I disconnect the ethernet adapter that I use to Smash. I use both the back usbs for my hdd (y-cable) and I don't want that ugly grey thing sticking around in the front all the time. I tried with a powered usb-hub at the back for a while, but I don't like the hdd being turned on all the time either (probably not too healthy?)
Yup, first world problem post of the day, but should be easy to fix.

Ninja Battle Heroes, guys! Buy it!
I expected a simple little platformer without much depth to it. Instead, I got a Shinobi clone with cute animal characters and lots of customization to your attack load out. It's $3, buy it!

How do these look?
Those are exactly what I had in mind! Personally I think they suit the game best.
Here is my suggestion that I totally didn't spend 2 minutes drawing: an epic space battle featuring evil alien invaders attempting to blow the "Zuper Awesome & Cool International Space Asylum" (also known as - yep, you guessed it,
) to smithereens!
I may have taken some liberties with the source material.

Ironically, I had something like this originally for the icon before I decided to use what is there now before launch. haha. Which of the 4 do you like best?

Haha, I like that. I had that idea too, but not much of a graphic artist, so wasn't sure how to do this. If I liked this best, would it be ok if I used this?

It would not just be ok, it would be... zuper.
Also, of the 4 enemy icons, the red variant seems better since that's the first kind you fight. (EDIT: Or maybe it's not, I can't remember. I just like the color red TBH.) I also like the darker background since it provides more contrast.
That's pretty much exactly how I feel. I like the first of the four the most due to the better contrast and it always felt to me like the red one was more of a "first enemy" than the yellow one, although that may or may not be actually true.

This is a much better icon than the current one.
I honestly don't see the problem with "doodle" in the name, it might not be the best, but it ain't bad.

They look great, as another option maybe the Z in the background in the grey and pawn in the foreground in color.
This reminds me, I need to buy the game. I will fix shortly.
This one escaped my notice somehow. Looks super cute! Thanks for the rec!
Fair enough, just thought they might feel a little bit of the Christmas spirit.
I wish NOA at least did a cross-buy price discount, since I've got it on my Wii U

Earthbound and something else.
Thanks for the heads up, tried the demo, will definitely buy.
Some of the Sega 3D classics for sure, already have Sonic just waiting for a sale on Outrun and a few others.

Is there anything Zelda like on the eshop? I'm craving a Zelda like game, but don't want to replay an old one and I want to wait for the 3DS version of MM. So are there any well done knock offs / clones of Zelda? I know there's a ton of Metroidvaina on the eshop, but I never really hear anyone talking about Zelda like games.
Ittle Dew? I actually still want to play this sometime, though I'm curious if the bugs mentioned in the review got ironed out.
Broken record time: Scram Kitty, Shovel Knight, Armillo, Pushmo World.
P.S. none of these have old men talking about Zelda downgradetons though
Have you played the Neutopia games on TG-16? Wii shop, but still Zelda-likes from what I
understand. I just downloaded the first one yesterday but haven't played it yet. Nairume and KYB kindly recommended them to me the other day.
