My cursor was already on its way to the quote button. :D

I felt terrible even joking about it because I don't want to stress you out when you still have a week or so till your big debut.

Gives all the fucks
Oh man, I really wish you got the Colorful Game & Watch theme as a bonus for buying G&W Gallery 3 or perhaps 2 or all 3 of the games.

Also yay Hyrule Warriors DLC that I can download but then not play cuz college.
 
Nintendogs getting an eShop release gave me hope, but Nintendo crushes my dreams every week Steel Diver doesn't get an eShop release.
 
Apparently, I barely used my Club Nintendo codes once I hit Platinum; I'm going through my stacks now and will have enough coins to grab most, if not all, of the digital games on offer right now (of course, I did buy another 3DS Game Case first). I might spare the coins on Link's Awakening, that seems the most likely of the ones I'm eying to go on sale again.

They have Steel Diver : Sub Wars. They're probably never going to make the original Steel Diver available on the eShop.
 
Ugh, done entering codes today, have 900 coins and will probably squeeze out another 200~500, if I would guess.

Here's what I want to get.

Grill-Off with Ultra-Hand! (eh, why not?).
Super Punch-Out!! (ugh, please Nintendo add cross-buy VC with n3DS for the love of......).
Golden Sun (maybe, game has too much irritating vomit text).

Donkey Kong 3 (might as well complete the trilogy, since I have DK: OE).
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (eh, it'll be $2 or $3 again soon).
HarmoKnight (is this actually good?).
Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger (the only definite so far).

I'm way more inclined to fill my 3DS, so maybe all of the above, minus Link plus Super Punch -Out (with the coins I have now).

Or is it really smarter to get another tchockey? The Shulk poster is awesome but then I'd have the Duck Hunt poster with Bubsy the Bobcat on it (ew). And it's 700 coins. Of course, the Majora's Mask bag might be a good one to buy to sell later. Woo is me.

Yeah, I saved all my CN codes once I hit platinum so I could use them the next year.

The wonders of not having much need-to-have rewards

I'd totally buy that from you >.>

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
No offense to lovers of these games. I played Mappy on the NES too.

Yet my first reaction was Dig Dug and Mappy Land means we've hit the bottom of the barrel.
 
Bah, they removed all but one of the shirts =(
There are hardly any physical rewards left =(

Could I buy those rewards from the Nintendo Store?
Nintendo doesn't indicate whether or not they would sell that 3DS game case at their store and that's the only thing I'd pay money for.

I'm actually home from work on Glorious Game & Watch Gallery 3 Day.

eShop update at 11:00 AM CST, right?

I just need to know when to start lighting some candles.
 
I did not expect Club Nintendo to be screwy this long, anyone know if the 3DS card case or 3DS pouch sold out?
They are still up.

Club Nintendo works well for me before 9:00 AM CST.

Of course, it's my week off and I've been sleeping in like a boss, so I get just a little time each day to codes.

Meh. DigDug is amazing and Mappy Land turns the great arcade classic into a side-scroller with the same mechanics and a great soundtrack. This is really an underrated week.

The community thing strikes again btw, I forgot to go find this thread again for the new month.

Are the later Mega Man Battle Network games less samey (or is the start of 2 just a particularly bad point for that?). The gameplay is solid as always but I'm getting a bit tired and I'm only a couple hours in.

They are still up.

Oh, phew. I usually check at work when I get in and when I get home...betting a ton of other people are doing the same. I should check in the earliest morning. I've gotten in a few times but either couldn't decide or got errors when I went to buy.

Protect Me Knight 2 theme, which they said they want to put overseas (probably when the game finally comes over?).
Looks cute, what sort of game is it?
 
I assume that Atlus' lot will yet again be $15? I'm waiting for them to go to $10 honestly.

I feel like I been waiting for Code of Princess to be $10 forever now. There's nothing new for me to buy this week, but I will most likely pick up Gunman Clive 2 while I'll wait for Majora's Mask to come in the mail.

I'm going to throw out praise for HarmoKnight. It's easily my favorite eshop title for the 3DS. It even has some pokemon tracks which is just neat .

Oh right I meant to ask opinions on Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder. I played the demo a while back thinking it was alright, but is there anyone here that can give their thoughts on it? Trying to see what I should use my CN coins on.

I used my coins to get it a few days ago. While it's pretty and has nice music, that doesn't make up for how repetitive, dull and unbalanced it feels. It also drags on a bit. Overall, I'm not too impressed with it and wouldn't miss it if I no longer played it.

USK rating paid off, now my game can be rated by them. :)

Honestly, USK process is a lot easier then PEGI ironically. Though, downside is instead off uploading the game trailer/game itself, you have to mail it.

Though, both are really easy. Makes me question now how bigger devs then me with lots of money have trouble with them..

Absolutely do not buy. If you want a Chibi Robo fix, the DS game Park Patrol was localized and isn't too bad, but rather repetitive. Photo Finder is a boring slog of menus, grinding the same 3 mini games and extremely limited "exploration" levels for coins, and using those coins to buy film to photograph everyday objects the 3DS is simply incapable of accurately detecting in almost any lighting condition.

It and Yoshi's New Island have probably permanently harmed my opinion of Nintendo and their ability to handle some of my favorite franchises.
