Thanks for showing me a cool little puzzle game I now have interest in buying.
It's a petty thing to dismiss a game just on name alone. If that was the case, I'd dismiss Metal Gear for how stupid sounding it is.
Ya know, Earthbound is a stupid name.

Quite a few new games are being released tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Duck Hunt, Mario Party Advance, & Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 on Wii U VC, then Super Mario Bros Deluxe on 3DS VC. Not to mention a 3DS sale for all the Guild 01 & 02 games.
It's rather good for a holiday. Guess one could consider it a Xmas gift from Nintendo.

Yes, I'm aware it's a foolish and silly reason.
But, ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Hey speaking of HW DLC, from what I've heard, the pre-order costumes are now available on the eShop for everyone to purchase for the low price of $0.99. & that's for the bundles (OoT, Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, & Ganondorf bundle), so you get a Link & Zelda outfit based on said games, while Ganondorf bundle gives you outfits based on OoT & TP.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Caved and bought Darksiders 2 on sale. That 10 gig download on a 32 gig Wii U.

Earliest Nintendo memory was getting my NES with Super Mario and Duck Hunt when I was 9. But those two weren't the first NES games I played, because there was also Contra sitting under the tree. Talk about the best way to introduce myself to the NES! I didn't even know the game existed until I played it on that wonderful day.

Hey Max, I'm looking for Canadian eshop credit. Can you point me the direction of the seller in question (assuming it's a gaffer)? Thanks.
PMed you!

I don't have as many specific to Christmas, since my birthday is December 12, and so most of the major stuff happened then.
In particular, getting my SNES for my 9th birthday in 1991 was definitely amazing.
I have a friend whose birthday is October 1, though, so he got it then, right after it came out. So, I had been playing it a bunch before I got my own.
Getting my SNES was still unbelievably amazing though.
23 years later, and I'm still in love with it.
Probably the main Christmas thing would be 1997, the year after we got the internet at home, when my mother let me go onto Funcoland's website and order a bunch of stuff from there to get for my birthday and Christmas.
And that was back when you could order just about anything there. Earthbound, Chrono Trigger (had them both already, but just for examples), whatever.
So, that year I had a whole bunch of NES and SNES games - which had been on my "wishlist" for years, and which I finally had the chance to get - to open, which was awesome.
Christmas Eve 1989, 10 years old, with my mom on an emergency last minute run to Sears to get a gift for my sister, 2 year old than me. No lie we go in and she gets her a Gameboy with a bunch of other stuff, imagine my 10 year old self wondering why not me? However, I feel good knowing that she is getting a cool gift and maybe I will be lucky enough to use it on occasion.
Next day as we are opening gifts, turns out that I got a Gameboy too. My mom had just gotten a Christmas bonus and wanted me and my sister to be able to play together. It was pretty sweet.
It's also much more sweet looking back because I know we did not have a lot of money back then, so for my mom to get us both Gameboys, which were the hot Christmas thing, is pretty damned amazing.
As for tomorrow's update, a sale would be cool, I would grab $10 and drop it in the account to also get that last DDP credit.

In the case of Lucadian Chronicles (the card game you mention), only a portion of the game is free. You have to pay (I think $7?) to unlock the whole game.

Nah, surprise release of Game & Watch Gallery 3.
I don't remember Xmas day sales being a thing last year. And what would be the point, since all the gift-giving would be done? I suppose they could try to get new owners interested in the eShop though. And no surprise, we're getting 3 VC games which is a lot by Nintendo standards, so you switch over to something else to complain about.
I do hope that Euro Ubisoft sale comes to the US with similar prices. Or that some other companies include some sales (the eShop's getting pretty boring with the same indie games on sale over and over).
Eh, as mentioned, 3 VC games in one week already. None of them ever released before (though I don't know who would choose the GBA version of Mario World instead of or in addition to the SNES one). Hopefully they'll plan the trilogy for the new year! Jan 1st is a Thursday too!

Out of the top 3 which one do you all think is the better game? I haven't played either of those series before.
Devil Survivor Overclocked > IV > Etrian Odyssey Untold
Tried to jump online now and all I could do was load eshop and DL a free theme :/
It's down for me, too.

What makes that one stand out above the others?

Nintendo is going to ruin Christmas for me if I can't get Duck Hunt tomorrow. All of my family will miss out on it's greatness until next year.
I couldn't tell ya.
I like DSO the best cuz it's an SRPG and the addictive demon fusion of SMT is super amplified as grinding money for more demon fusing is crack.
story is cool, the dub is great and value proposition is off the chain with multiple endings. Replay value is infinite, pretty much. I've played through the game multiple times to reach 150+ hours (half of that was spent on getting 100%) and it still feels totally fresh.
IV and Untold are great games too. I would just buy all of them if I were you (15 bucks each is the lowest these games will go so might as well... no, Atlus, don't start putting these games on sale for $10 -_-)

Same thing happened last year. It was down for practically a week. Good job Nintendo. I'm gonna be pissed if it's truly down that long again with DDP ending.
