Posted February 9 The Nintendo Switch Online news has changed my buying list a bit. The addition of Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance to Nintendo Switch Online now means all the likely suspects for release on there have been drastically lowered on the priority list to pick up on the VC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 11 I've also pretty much cleaned out the GB/GBC/GBA offerings in the WiiU store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16 February update as we get closer and closer to the dreaded Wii U and 3DS eShop doomsday: Don't think I'll be getting an many games as I originally planned to (which, let's be honest, is probably good for my backlog!) but still fully intend to go through and pick up some more stuff, so I'll need to go through the stores one of these weekends and make some difficult choices about cutting games from my previous list/s. Think I'm going to miss the eShop music the most though 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 21 (edited) I think I'm officially done with purchasing what I wanted from the 3DS eShop. Which means that in the past year, I got: Physical Games Fire Emblem Fates (+DLC, including the other routes); Mario&Luigi: Dream Team Mario&Luigi: Paper Jam; Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers; Kid Icarus Uprising; Dragon Quest VIII VC Titles Wario Land 3; DK Land Trilogy; Kirby's Dream Land 2; Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon; Mega Man V; Defenders of Oasis; Crystal Warriors; Shining Force: Sword of Hajya Other Digital Titles Stella Glow; Virtue's Last Reward Theathrythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (+20€ worth of DLC); Aero Porter; Fallblox; Mighty Flip Champs; Mighty Milky Way; Ninja Battle Heroes; SADAME; Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D; Shin Megami Tensei IV; Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse; SMT: Soul Hackers; SMT: Devil Survivor 2; Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove Stuff I thought I was gonna get, but didn't Dillon's Rolling Western (Sorry, @Glen-i. Tried a bit of Dead Heat Breakers, and the gameplay didn't do much for me) SMT Strange Journey Redux (I bought enough SMT to last for years. This one looked to be the most dungeon-crawly, so skipped) SMT Devil Survivor 1 (See above. Also, this one was unreasonably expensive, on top of me already having the sequel) Dr.Mario Miracle Cure (After purchasing several puzzle titles, I looked at this one and said "likely not worth it") The DLC for SMTIV:Apocalypse and Radiant Historia (After spending so much money at once, it's easy to cut minor DLC from the list) So yeah, how did your own hoarding backlogging year go?

Posted March 1 I'm glad they're letting you carry on the balance, especially since you couldn't pay the actual price and had to buy gift cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1 It's March guys! Has the prophecy come to fruition!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7 It's happening, @bob! The number of games on sale is steadily going up. Nothing really notable, imo, however there's Silver Falls- 3 Down Stars (£11.99) and Silver Falls- Undertakers (£2.69) that perhaps @Josh64 can vouch for or against? Severed (£2.99) is there again too which @Jonnas has recommended though it's also on Switch and I can't remember which version is preferable. There's also Swords & Soldiers but it's on Switch as well. Legend of Kusakari, anyone? I grabbed these: - Kid Tripp - 100% off - FREE! - Digger Dan DX - 100% off - FREE! Gonna have to look into the likes of Fairune (99p) to see if any of them are worth a punt. I always check into these and forget if they're decent or not by the next time they go on sale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The latter aspect is something I found particularly important, because I otherwise strongly dislike first-person dungeon crawlers. Severed is excellent despite technically belonging to that genre.

Posted March 9 KORG DSN-12 and KORG M01D now half price. 8 hours ago, Jonnas said: 3DS version has easy stylus control, and the second screen allows you to check the map at all times while exploring.

Another advantage of the 3DS version: super cheap right now Thanks for this mini-review. Not sure if I knew it's a first-person dungeon crawler. Sounds all right for £3! Have you played SADAME yet? It was among last week's reductions and info on it is hard to come by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 9 There's more every time I check at the moment. These seem to be the standout additions: 80's Overdrive - 89p (this was always frequently on sale) Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - £4.04 Does Shovel Knight make use of the 3D effect? If so, I kind of wish I'd waited it out rather than get it on Switch. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't know either, going into it. All of the videoclips I'd seen were of battles, and none of the reviews mentioned the dungeon-crawling aspect (understandable, as the combat is the biggest highlight, really) 13 hours ago, darksnowman said: Have you played SADAME yet? It was among last week's reductions and info on it is hard to come by. Not yet. That's one I first heard about from browsing deals, as it looked like a nice beat'em up. I found very few reviews, but they seemed to think the game was fine. Not outstanding, but no significant flaws, either. I liked the aesthetics, though, and at that price it's easy to purchase. 2 hours ago, darksnowman said: Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - £4.04 ...I literally bought this full price a couple of weeks ago Edited March 9 by Jonnas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted yesterday at 04:39 AM (edited) This guy tried to buy every Wii U and 3DS game from their eshop's before they close, I figured some of you might find it interesting.: https://youtu.be/ujHUMG0Uovs I found it interesting to see some of the issues he came up against while trying to purchase everything, such as not being able to have more then $200 worth of credit in his account at any one time, certain games not unlocking the right to buy DLC until a certain percentage of the main game has been played and other issues. Aso how much memory it took up etc. He's a mad man, but I also happy someone managed to buy everything on both platforms Edited yesterday at 11:50 AM by Helmsly 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted yesterday at 10:19 AM I'm surprised that it only cost him around $23,000. Would've figured that the entierty of both shops would've cost more than that. The 300 title limit must surely be driving him nuts though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted yesterday at 10:45 AM Worth watching that purely for the ending shot. The visuals with that eShop remix is hilarious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
