How is Pacman and The ghostly adventure structure wise ?
Is it more of a Banjo Kazooie-esque thing with more open-ish worlds and shit to collect or more level based like SM3DW where you have to get to the flagpole/ star at the end of the level?
10 bucks for a 3D platformer (which are incredibly rare these days) is mighty tempting !
Edit: Oh and I have to get Gunman Clive 2. I have to admit, I mainly bought the first game because of the trailer ("some artsy visuals") and the cheap price....but it was a good game in the end . Gotta support Beril too, nice guy !

College started last week, that's why.
I'm looking forward to getting Punch-Out on Thursday. I think I even still have my save file from when I rented it back when it came out. Otherwise, aside from the 3D Classics from Sega over these next few months, I can't think of anything else that's coming to the eShop that interests me.
You're all in college?! I'm feeling really old at nearly 27 here, then....
You're only 4 years older than me.
Think overall, January is just a slower month before Feb. hits with the New XL, Majora's Mask 3D, more amiibo, Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, & such. Then Club Nintendo is suppose to have more games up (along with physical rewards) as well.
Speaking of CN, they said that the Gold/Platinum rewards will be digital games again, but you have the entire month of April to get them instead of in July.

24 here, you're not the only fogey.
Oh, where did they say the Gold/Plat will be digital games? Interesting. Oh, I see:
Not sure I caught that. Thanks. Really interesting. Curious to see what they'll put up in February.
I plan on kindly asking TTH for a physical reward if I don't have the coins for it.

Guys, what games are you even playing these days? I feel like the game talk has really dried up of late ;__;
Well, at the moment, I'm mainly looking forward to Citizens of Earth on Thursday.
During my break from this thread, I also picked up a PS Vita, although since it only came with a 4GB card, and uses expensive proprietary memory, I only really had room for Persona 4 Golden until the 16GB card I got in the B/S/T thread came in, which it did today. Seriously, having to deal with that thing's memory and the cost of it makes me all the more appreciative of just being able to stick a cheap 64GB SanDisk SDXC card in my 3DS and call it a day.
Also got Lords of Xulima for PC once it came to GOG the other day, but haven't had a chance to get into it yet. It looks great though.

I'm 32, and get off my lawn!
I've also spent about 13 years in college, between a Bachelor's, a Master's, and most of a PhD which isn't going to happen.
Been out for the past year after dropping out of my PhD program, but I'm going to be starting in on a second Master's program next month.
Leaning never ends!

Jesus, since when does 24-27 qualify as old? I'm as old as the NES in NA lol.

I'm making the slowest process possible in Pokemon Alpha Sapphire.I would be farther along, but getting ready for a trip. Looking forward to Punch out , Gunman Clive, Kirby and MM. So much games near the same time.

I'm playing through Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3 -'.'- for the first time. I think I'm about halfway through each. Never had a Wii and somehow missed out on Kirby as a kid. I've been having a great time with each of them. On my 3DS, I'm on my last case of the first Ace Attorney. Also a first timer. It's been a pretty great couple of weeks of games. I might be spoiled.

Babies, the lot of you.

We paid $130 (currency converted from Deutsch Marks to Euros to US Dollars and adjusted for inflation!) for classics that people today bitch about when they get to buy them for 8 with added functionality lol.

Erm, NOE are the only ones who gave a shit and localized almost all the amazing ones for us themselves^^ (Mystic Quest, Secret of Mana/Evermore, Lufia 2, Illusion of Time, Terranigma, and they even had FF VI translated at the time).
Robin64

They had FFVI translated? God damn..
Out of those, though, I'll give you Mana and Terranigma as amazing.

Fun Fact: Secret of Evermore was developed and published by Squaresoft Inc. in USA!
So... lol what did they have to localize exactly?

Omega Ruby (barely--I mostly bought it as a pokemon box so I don't have to worry about my pokemon bank sub)
Senran Kagura 2 (wow, never thought I'd be able to play my copy until this weekend--I bought the limited edition for the figures)
Battle Network 2 (the asset reuse is pretty extreme, but it still seems alright, not too far yet)
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (need to finish this one up, but I couldn't find a good guide for all Cacklebats)
I'm 34, and I only really feel old when I hear people talk about stuff like having DS's as kids or growing up on Pokemon (I was 18 when R/B came out... 18!)
I recently finished Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, still slowly working my way through Captain Toad, and playing the MH4 demo in anticipation of MH4U next month.
I have 4 of the CN cases for storing games at home, for on the go I have a set of 3 DS card cases that each hold 3 games in a row. Each case is about as long as a candy bar and about as thick as two DS games. I like them because I can bring 3, 6, or 9 extra games with me depending on how many games I'm currently switching between atm.

Captain Toad, five pages of book 3 remaining
Hyrule Warriors, grinding through Adventure Mode maps.
Fantasy Life, very close to the end of the main (non-DLC) story.
Smash and Pokemon still on-going.
Playing Kirby Air Ride for the first time now. Amazing game.
And starting over with Deus Ex:HR on Steam. I love the world in this game.

Desperately trying to complete the deluge of games bought at the end of DDP era before their post-play surveys go up. Guess we won't have to worry about post-play suveys expiring too fast anymore!
You are old at 27.
My theory is that you are really an adult at 24, so everything after that is just "old."
Edit:
I'm the oldest of those who posted in the last couple of pages, so far, but there are definitely older gamers than me about.
65$ for Shaq-Fu, what a steal!

And if you bought the right ones, you'd end up with classics that lasted you a lifetime (or until they got redone like SF643D, OoT3D, MM3D, BK, BT, PD ;D
Goldeneye, Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Leader, and Rocket: Robot on Wheels are still exclusive, at least. Wish I could've tried Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine at the time, though. Doesn't seem to be "good enough" to warrant the cost of a full game from nowadays, and being a licensed Factor 5 game, it has basically zero chance of VC arrival. Oh, well.
Edit:
Oh, and the v1 of OoT with red blood and chanting FTW! :lol
But the Genesis version included a sample of one of Shaq's rap albums!!

I'm tempted to download Super Mario Galaxy 2 even though I already have the disc sitting right in front of me. I'm part of the problem.

It's so tempting! However, I don't own Punch-Out or MPT, so I'm saving my cash for them.
Currently playing:
Wii U - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
(3)DS - Last Window
3DS-wise I somewhat recently finished Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (story at least, and the delta episode). Need to continue Weapon Shop de Omasse sometime soon. On Wii U I'm playing Captain Toad (on episode 3) and completing the first adventure mode map on Hyrule Warriors here and there (just recently finished getting all the weapons). Most of my time recently has been split between Captain Toad and stuff I've been playing on Steam though.
Lately, I am playing some Wii backlog.
Right now, I'm with Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo.
The game is a basic Beat'm up without difficulty. But, hey, it's chibi Goku.
Best part of the game: Awesome Opening
Demon's Crest (DOTY) and Mushroom Men beaten recently.

I started MH3U and currently finishing up my run of LoZ: Minish Cap.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Everybody here is so youn........! Oh thank God, somebody older than me
Nice. What did you think of Azran? It's my favorite of the 6 Professor Layton games, just slightly edging out Unwound Future
Have you thought about trying Rhythm Thief? Great underrated game, plays very much like Professor Layton but with rhythm games/segments instead of puzzles:
