With Chibi-Robo Zip Lash coming this year, I wonder what the odds are of Park Patrol coming to VC. The demo of Photo Finder has been my only experience with the series so far and I'd love to try the more traditional entries.

Well, Park Patrol isn't really a traditional Chibi-Robo. The second DS game is the one more similar to the original GameCube game, not that I've ever had a chance to try it since it didn't get out of Japan. Well, actually, with there being only two "traditional" Chibi-Robo games and three "non-traditional" ones, including Zip Lash, who knows what a traditional Chibi-Robo is anymore? In any case, the original Chibi-Robo is fantastic, you should try to check it out.

Is that any good? I've looked for years for a Harvest Moon game that can stand up to Harvest Moon 64.

I just don't like the idea of hitting dogs. :-/

Haha. Poor Max. Ok a bit of official context on that. Most of the earth based enemies you fight in the game are acting the way they are because they're under the control of Giygas and/or the Starmen/other aliens which makes them super strong and have crazy, sometimes otherworldly abilities. That's why the defeat messages usually say things like "The Runaway Dog became tame" or 'The Spiteful Crow returned to normal' or 'The cranky lady returned to normal,' ect.

So, you're actually NOT just beating up defenseless animals and wailing on weak elderly people, you're usually just clobbering some sense into a super overpowered earth life form until it/he/she finally comes to its senses. Even the NPCs hint at this, 'Animals and people are acting crazy since such-and-such happened.' Now aliens, robots, ect? Those you are most certainly killing or brutally hurting because end-battle messages for those enemies will usually say "defeated" or "exploded," ect.

It's the best portable Harvest Moon.

Of course, this version isn't fully "portable" now.
But still, it's at least in the Top 3 along with Harvest Moon 64 and Harvest Moon SNES.

(Harvest Moon 64 is and always will be the best)

Wow, sucks this week.

I'm REALLY hoping that Ocarina of Time 3DS goes on sale next week during E3 like it did last year. Really want to pick it up, but I will even if it doesn't go on sale next week. I figured it was worth the wait.

All these games were released as part of a retail compilation in Japan called G.G. Series Collection Plus; there were 30+ games on the collection but only half of them were DSiWare, the rest were original.and exclusive to the compilation. Honestly, some of them were kinda fun but I couldn't tell you which ones are good and which ones suck, it was a total crapshoot.

Some of these games got an international release years ago, so assuming they're not releasing the compilation-exclusive games here too, they'll be done pretty soon.

Harvest Moon is only $6.99, nice. Will probably get that since you got praise it so much. Some other sale items today I wanted, like Lone Survivor, and Thomas was alone that I'm probably gonna get. Got so much eshop credit burning a hole in my digital pocket lol

I went ahead and bought that new Dr. Mario game. It's very basic. It's welcoming to newcomers with the miracle gimmick. No friggin' way to selection between "Fever" or "Chill" ... they took out the music selection option. Online is the same as Dr. Luigi ... barebones matchmaking.

Can't recommend it but if Puzzles & Dragons, Stretchmo, Boxbox, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars hasn't scratched your puzzle itch, might as well get this one, too.

Oh snap Swords & Darkness came out! I've been waiting years for an English release. I played the Japanese demo and enjoyed it a lot but didn't want to commit to the full game due to not being able to read the menus and item descriptions etc. It's like a Kunio-Kun game crossed with Diablo. For only 7 bucks, I'm definitely going to check it out now.

I thought some folks here might have heard at least since it's a game more bought on Nintendo platforms xD. That I was wondering whether the game ever goes on sale on DS/3DS. They're doing a 3DS port of Risky's Revenge (aka the DSiWare one that you can already play on 3DS?)? I've never played a Shantae game before, so I thought I'd try one out, especially at this price.

They're doing a 3DS and Wii U port of Risky's Revenge Director's Cut (original on DSiWare -> PC as Director's Cut -> back to 3DS and Wii U), yes.

Cool. Good to know. Thanks to Steam refunds I guess I should have absolutely no fear of giving this game a shot (although $2.50 is pretty cheap to begin with). Why would they have a sale like this right before they rerelease it on 3DS/Wii U though? Seems counterproductive, although maybe it'd help Pirate's Curse sales.

Same reason that the developers of Toki Tori failed to deliver on a feature for WiiU, and instead advertised their Steam version on WiiU until they were told to stop.

The Japanese Rail Sim game is pretty much Densha De Go but using real video for the train engineer viewport instead of real time graphics.

And it's pretty good! There's a demo if you dig Japanese trains.

After Dr. Luigi added new tracks (the only good thing I can really say about that game) it is a shame yet another bare Dr. Mario game has come out.

Dr. Mairo 64/Nintendo Puzzle Collection was not supposed to be the peak of this series (with its 4 player) I feel :(

I bought the Dr. Mario game. I think I will enjoy it, having never owned another version of it. Dr. Luigi mode with L-shaped pills looks challenging.

Also downloaded the demo for that Ninja game that released. I had never heard of it, so I don't have anything to hope for in it.

Holy crap, was searching for the Blazblue -Clone Phantasma- demo & eventually had to search for it via game's page since it wasn't under new releases or the demo section.

I didn't realize the game came out almost TEN MONTHS AGO. Why the hell did it take so long for a demo?

Alright, after playing Miracle Cure I'm now certain that Nintendo intentionally sabotages every new Dr. Mario game these days. There's always some stupid, easily fixable problem that they manage to have. Why would they take out the option to select which music you want? Why are the Cough and Sneeze songs still absent? Why does Dr. Luigi stop at Level 20 in Classic mode when you can reach Level 99 in the Wii U version?

At least the challenge mode finally adds some sort of single-player content beyond the usual stuff, even if it is pretty meager.

I'm curious who made this version since Arika seems to not have made this one. Are the credits easily accessible?
