I actually had to play through on Wii U originally because the 3D made me nauseous, but it was because of playing it on an old 3DS XL. Tried it recently on a n3DS XL and it was so much better, and really well done. Definitely awesome use of 3D once it stopped making me sick because it was cutting in and out. But be careful on the older models if you are at all prone to motion sickness.
Man Nintendo needs to step up their cross buy game...

I still haven't played it even once. Needless to ask, but am I in for a treat or what? Aha.
The single best JRPG released last generation. It's the first time a Xeno game actually came off without a hitch. The dub is excellent (no choice this time for importers though, they cut the Japanese track for size reasons) the combat is MMO ish, with very smart AI (except for one character that it just can't figure out how to use) The most impressive thing about the game is the scope. If you can see it, you can probably reach it.

Expect more tumbleweeds and stuff when it happens.
Only have a Vita so I'm LTTP for this one. Oh and from what I've played of Bastion on the PC, it is a nice little game.

Hmmmmm. All of these hit the right points for me. So happy my coast is clear for the next while in terms of purchases, I'll be able to play it without worrying about how long I have to beat it. I've been meaning to play this game for sooo long.
Pretty much what I'm going to do now! But that list you made has too many platformers, so...
I couldn't help myself.
Also, I promised myself I'd stop buying games I already own...but Shovel Knight is hard to pass up. I didn't get far on PC, that's what I keep telling myself.
I am a little upset that Xenoblade 3D doesn't come with jap voices, but I definitely understand why because of the size. I am very critical of dubs in general (I'm the person that wished P4G came with jap audio, and most people say that is an excellent dub). For me, I can always tell when something in english sounds silly, or overacted, or the VA is phoning it in. But I don't speak japanese, so I can't tell when the VAs are doing a bad or cheesy job. That said, Xenoblade did have a quite solid dub.
Wonder what I should pick up this month. Will have some extra birthday money, but this will also be my busiest month at school (got my USMLE Step 1 medical licensing exam on May 6th, fun stuff). Definitely Titan Souls, not sure what else. Probably get Dark Souls 2 PS4 edition because I am a terrible person (already own it on both PS3 and PC) and play through again, never finished the last DLC.

Actually, if we manage to get The Last Guardian I think no one would bother to bitch, lol. It would become a hype thread.
But the announcement thread has no other purpose except announcing the news and let people bitch about it, to be honest, so that would be expected.
Look like this month is safe for my wallet. Only Omega Quintet.
Totally agree, I own it on 3DS and Wii U and I'm gonna grab it on Vita as well. Not sure if I will wait for a sale or just get it at launch to support the devs. I cannot wait to play Shovel Knight on the Vita D-pad.

Too bad I missed Syphon Filter on the last flash sale as I need to scratch a TPS/stealth itch on my Vita.I got it from last month, too. I guess they actually mean it. Funnily I got that mail right after claiming a bunch of free games.
They just barely found out the existence of user ids this gen. Give em more time
That's how I feel about Toukiden Kiwami. I almost regret not buying the original game.
You can get the whole fresh experience with the expansion that many can't.
I wish I finished the original game before getting Kiwami. Maybe I still can, but I'm afraid to get burned.
Oh wow, didn't even know this existed. Downloading now!
I'm really liking my "wait for expanded version" plan for hunting games.
Also, the original Toukiden doesn't have rifles.
Wait than the only thing you will miss out on if probably full online lobbies.

They've been awful quiet if they are still planning on releasing Mighty No. 9 this month

Nothing much for this month, guess my wallet will recover from my March purchases.
Loving Rage Burst, Oreshika and Bloodborne. Type-0 is a steaming pile of poo and I feel betrayed by the gaffers that set it up to be the next coming of chrisrt.
Kinda glad this garbage didn't launch on the Vita lol

Damascus Gear is a simple game where you can accomplish bite-size missions in just a few minutes. Everything is where you would expect it: equip parts, buy things, go on missions. You keep your loot even if you fail a mission.
It's the very straightforward kind of game where you take a bite at a time, and soon enough you're done.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Not sure what people expected when its a port of a PSP title that came out ages ago. lol
Somehow people did believe SE will remake the game. That's how it got hyped.
Just going by the genres and critical acclaim (haven't played all of those games), look into:
The Last of Us Remastered
The Evil Within
The Order 1886
P.T.
Outlast
Dragon Age Inquisition
Bloodborne
Lords of the Fallen
The Swapper
Fez
Trine Bundle
Oddworld New N'Tasty
Rayman Legends
Grim Fandango Remastered
Also a couple of games releasing this month that should be up your alley.

RIP 16GB memory card. You've served me well for the past two years. Now I don't have a memory card T_T
This thing is fucking scaring me.
Especially since memory cards are going to become rare and even pricier.
Is it really that good? I'm trying to convince myself I don't need it yet as I have too many epic games running at the moment, but if I'm not careful I'll get caught up in the hype.
You're not the only one. I may be burned at the stake for this, but I actually turned the voices down to zero and treated it like a VN. It's just a shame it didn't remove them entirely. I mostly forgot there was VA at all. I'm sure it was fine as far as dubs go, but for some reason dubs always sound awful to me. I don't know if it's that the dialog isn't suited to English or what, but every time they just sound like the awful anime dubs of the 80s/90s to me.
Come to think of it, I may have to check out some videos of Xenoblade to see if I can hear the dub. There was a Dragon Quest game on PS2 (VIII, I think) that had voices so bad I couldn't play it.
Don't know what else this month. Meoro Chronicle sounds interesting. Possibly Ultimax. I'm sure I'm forgetting something else, but I really need to save up for a SSD for my PC.
Lastly, looks like I made the Wall of Shame for the first time. Er...hooray?

Broken age
Maybe Shovel knight

I appreciate the fact that it's native res but is it just me, or does the frame rate occasionally take a dive? Wish it had button/back touch control as well. Jetpack Joyride has spoiled me on what an infinite runner on Vita should be.

Broken Age at the end of the month, really looking forward to that. The more classic style adventure goodness that makes it to the PS4, the better.

NA version of Toro's Friend Network is shutting down at the end of June. Japanese and Asian versions of the game just went down a day ago.
Is anyone here experiencing control problems with Run Sackboy Run? Occasionally when I tap the screen, the game doesn't recognize it and I end up plowing into some spikes.

I know that this isn't the main purpose of the product, but remote play on phone just got real.

Since i dusted off and plugged the PS3 i decided to download a pair of PS+ games, yesterday i tried Sherlock Holmes Crime and Punishment and holy screen tearing badman!
I'm not one of those who complains about frame rates, screen tearing, loadings etc because i can usually deal with them, but damn in SH:C&P they are almost unbearable! What the hell!
