Last night I got Word Puzzles by Powgi. Honestly cross-buy is annoying because games are more expensive when they have it. Otherwise I don't think this would be priced $10 in the US, and I just wanted it for 3ds.

Anyways it's a decent word puzzle game. I find this game genre relaxing. It is possible to get stuck in some puzzles if you don't know the word. I didn't know what a trapezium was in the shapes category; but on Wikipedia it says it's called a trapezoid in the US.

Some of the words are repeated in the word maze, which is just silly and repetitive. They should have had 4 puzzles instead of 6 and not repeated the words.

Aside from those complaints, I think I'll continue to enjoy this and the Puzzler World games. The 3ds (XL) is perfect for "pen and paper" puzzle games.

I would probably give in & rebuy SMRPG despite having the cartridge if it meant I could have it on the go.

Just wonder how long until the N3DS will have the same or very similar SNES library compared to the Wii U.

So is Super Mario RPG the new Zero Mission now?

I would probably buy Megaman Soccer (well maybe after a sale) just to see how its aged. I think I rented it once as a kid, but barely remember anything about it.

I'd much rather have Mega Man Soccer than one of the 23 Battle Network games no one ever bought.

It's a flawed game to be sure but it's also really fun if you can turn your brain off.

I'm ok with MMBN6 tomorrow. I would've killed for them last month when I was playing 1,3, and 5. They're better than some shitty NES game they could conjure up for release, IMO.

In some parallel universe the Nintendo eShop is getting only Square Enix games, and people are clamoring for Capcom to release the damn Mega Man games, lol.

There's gotta be a hundred Mega Man games on VC now. Can someone please assure me there's no more potentially coming?

- Mega Man 64
- Mega Man Soccer
And like, 8 Mega Man games on the DS.

Are people seriously complaining that Capcom is putting nearly the whole Mega Man library on the Wii U?

Where's ZX & ZX Advent?!?!

I'm actually legit wondering if MM64 will get re-released on account of its PS1 version finally hitting PSN.

Too bad the other tingle game never got an English release.

Click here to see the trailer.

Virtual Console on Wii U

MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK 6 CYBEAST FALZAR and MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK 6 CYBEAST GREGAR – After moving with his family to Cyber City, Lan, with the help of Mega Man, must intervene before an ancient creature of enormous power destroys the network and the world. Game content is the same for MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK 6 CYBEAST FALZAR and MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK 6 CYBEAST GREGAR, but NetNavi chips and other items may differ.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS

Blast ’Em Bunnies – Blast ’Em Bunnies is an endless first-person shooter in which you must defend your rabbit burrow using fun new types of weapons and ammo. From Watermelon Machineguns firing sticky raspberries to Turnip Mortars firing explosive Pepper Bombs (which release heat-seeking chili seeds), you’d better get shooting those coins to buy all of the upgrades. Click here to see the trailer.
BRAVELY SECOND: END LAYER DEMO The Ballad of the Three Cavaliers – Square Enix’s critically acclaimed Bravely Default game is all set to enjoy a much-lauded sequel, and you can try a portion of it right now, for free. In the BRAVELY SECOND: END LAYER DEMO The Ballad of the Three Cavaliers, you’ll return to the land of Luxendarc and embark on a bonus adventure not found in the main game. Make sure to try out different jobs during your adventure. Whether they’re formidable fighters and mages looking to test their skills, giant trolls with a chip on their shoulder or alien entities with a bent for drama, all of them pose a risky challenge … along with the irresistible promise of great rewards.

New DLC

Non-DX Link's Awakening with intact screen jumping glitch. Four Swords that came with LttP on GBA (Okay, that's a little picky, but I do consider Link's Awakening > DX version due that screen jumping glitch. (~_^) ).

It's a shame new 3DS owners can't get Four Swords or Minish Cap.

Also the 3DS is missing Four Swords Adventure. FS:A is the reason that between the Wii U and 3DS you technically can't play every single main Zelda game.

Sounds like the prices will take effect very quickly. I hope we somehow get DKCR for Wii through the eShop soon as well. I'm really surprised my OOT purchase --> sale to GAFer w/o playing it first --> waiting for eShop sale finally paid off.

Asked it the page before but - can someone tell me if the 3D adds readability and appearance of the game? Screenshots look meh and I wondered if that was the sort of game that looked better in 3D.

BooJoh said:
I don't know if the EU version is any different from the NA version, but the game runs fine for me. It can be a little shimmery when it scrolls and the 3D effect can give away some trap locations, but I think they fixed the one crash that it used to have and I've had a blast with the game.

Thank you. The game is indeed excellent (I beat 100% its prequel on XBLA), but I didn't realize it was so expensive on Wii U/3DS compared to Steam (50% more expensive, special sales non included).

In their eternal wisdom, NoA completely failed to capitalize on the Back To The Future 2 craze by releasing the game referenced in the movie months after the fact; even having the tone deafness to reference the film in the PR release, long after the hype had died down. (NoE, bless their souls, were there just in time).

Nothing against Battle Network 6 but how do you let the 20th anniversary of a beloved classic go by without acknowledging it whatsoever, more so when you're the one region that still doesn't have the game and pushing it just in time for the celebration could garner it more sales?
