Posted May 20, 2013 Getting both demos and I might buy the Denpa Men for that price. Have you played this, I'm not too sure on if I should pick it up. Check out NL's review: http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/eshop/starship_damrey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2013 Think I'll be picking up Denpa Men at that, despite being fairly poor all these sales are mighty tempting(they need more of it too imo) - only problem is I don't know if I'll get my 3DS away, repaired, and back in time for me to buy them! Def gonna need to post it tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 22, 2013 The DS Taiko games had you use the touch screen as a drum I imagine it's the same for 3DS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2013 ATTACK OF THE FRIDAY MONSTERS! A TOKYO TALE gets rated. This caught my interest the most out of the three Guild02 titles. http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/View.aspx?sid=2wAdjR7a5ucJRbXmzOcgHA%253d%253d&ncdctx=GLy3EMkdtwaGzl3LCZBkIEIe5O6TwyMTAktS5BzLqQPOEoee%252fuuJXNrY5C8qdz50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) I, I just don't know when I should buy eShop games. I have had about 16 euros on my account ever since I bought Mutant Mudds whilst it was discounted. Now I was toying with the idea of getting Liberation Maiden with a discount, but I initially also wanted HarmoKnight and Tokyo Crash Mobs, and then there's the matter of both Oracle of Ages and Seasons arriving fairly soon..... Too much tiny quirky games to buy Edited May 27, 2013 by Fused King Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2013 Too much tiny quirky games to buy True. You should prioritise though, get the one(s) you want most first, having said that I know discounts/sales messes this up even more but then again, that's a great problem to have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2013 Yeah, you've just got to prioritise what you really want. I know for me, anything Zelda or WayForward is Day 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2013 Anyone else get Starship Damrey? I brought it and have only got through a bit but am loving it so far. Yeah I'm loving it working my way through it. So different. Has it been announced what is next up from them? Hope its more something akin to this than Aeroport (or whatever it's called). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 27, 2013 Nice. I have both on GBC, but I might just get Seasons as I've yet to complete it. Would much rather play it on the bigger and brighter 3DS screen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2013 Yeah I have Ages on the GBC but just going to buy them both and have the set to play on a nicer screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
