EU peeps. Don't sleep on Mass Attack. Incredible game.

It's absolutely JAM-packed with content.

kinda cruel to have Xenoblade on sale when XCX is releasing in a few days

 

[wilflare]

At some point in time before the world ends, sure. Anytime soon? Probably not.

you break my heart every single time

If not mistaken, you can play unofficial version of Xenoblade using vWii. NoA doesn't want money so you should chose the alternative.

.....or just put in the disc you bought legally.

but the price of the game is more than Wonderful 101. That's crazy if you don't own one.

Uhm...

 

[Bowl0l]

Uhm...

Is there a cheaper option?

 

[TheMoon]

Doesn't matter if it's not legal.

[GulAtiCa]

Dude.. Not the place..

 

[wilflare]

I hope NoA surprises us... but not sure what's stopping them from releasing a digital Xenoblade Wii

 

[Bowl0l]

Dude.. Not the place..

Sorry. removing all comments now.

So how does this new picross work, do you have to pay to play?

It is free to start and play. A form of stamina seems to be used for placing blocks in puzzles where in-game currency is used for refill, unlocking stages and more. There is a global spending cap which is interesting but for more detail:

Closer to Rumble World.

Basically, you earn Picrites as you play the game, by completing levels.

Picrites are then used to open new areas, and to remove the recovery time on support Pokémon, as well as your recover your Energy gauge (each move you make removes 1 value on your energy gauge, it regenerates over time. Energy gauge is 200 values big) faster.

You can also purchase Picrites as well as earn them through standard play. However, you can only ever buy a total of 5,000 Picrites, just like the limit in Rumble World. Once you've done that, you're done for spending for the life of the game. We only know Japanese pricing where 5,000 Picrites costs 3,750 Yen

[wilflare]

thinking whether to get
A Tale of Two Towns
A-Train
Rune Factory 4
Gotcha Racing

-eShop makes it hard to guess if the sales will come again and/or get better-

 

[also]

Kirby Mass Attack is the best Kirby spin-off and best Kirby game. It's fresh, has great pacing and lots of content, and the extra challenges are quite hard so you won't be bored. The one where you

Spoiler

is absolutely brutal

Canvas Course AND Mass atack ???

=O

I enjoyed all of these. I'd get A New Beginning instead of Two Towns though.

I see. unfortunately, ANB is still 19.99 :/
wonder if Rune Factory 4 will get any cheaper (eShop wise)
- it's definitely something I want digitally on my system (I have the cart)

It might, depending on how long a while you're willing to wait. But XSeed only does sales once ~ twice a year, so you'll have to wait some time.

Believe it or not, Reel Fishing is excellent (and on sale) as well. I bought it the last time they put it on sale. It reminded of an import fishing game I played on the Dreamcast called Fish Eyes. I found it funny realizing that Reel Fishing is just the localized name for the same series of games.
