Nice offerings
Next week will be insane. Can you imagine how many people will be downloading the Metroid Prime Trilogy next week? Considering how mamy people want Metroid for Wii U, this would be good to tide those people over until a new Metroid releases for Wii U. Plus for those that weren’t able to experience any of the Metroid Prime games, this would be the perfect opportunity as it’s 3 games in one and for one week starting next week, it’s half price. So it’s win/win…
I shall rise once again…
Agree, will pay for it as last time the disc were $80 used.
Can anyone tell me if Guacamelee is any good? I think at that price I might want to check it out. I heard it was one of the highest scoring games on metacritic of last year. Also it’s an indie game so I don’t feel bad about forking money over to support it. Can anyone on hear give me a reason as to buy it or not?
Guacamelee is good it’s worth the price it’s plataformer beat em up game
THank you.
In Europe the Wii e-shop title is Donkey Kong: Country Returns lmao
Can the game operate using the Gamepad and Procontroller?
wow calling a game S.C.A.T. is such a bad idea Oo
15 minutes until the second round of the throwback sale. Hopefully I’ll get lucky and both Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and DK King of Swing will be on sale either now or the final week next week.
Well that was disappointing as shit.
I wonder how Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL World Duel Carnival is. Worth it for 12 bucks?
I also hope the throwback sales are better this week. $30 for a Yoshi game universally hated? Thanks for that Nintendo
I love Yoshi’s New Island, but it just doesn’t compare to the first two games at all.
The subbed version of Zexal was such a good anime, the best Yugioh. (Just for saying that, everyone here will instantly hate me.) But so much content was cut from the American release of this game, originally it had over 70 playable characters, it’s been reduced to like, 10. Still…..it’s a little tempting.
im interested in the punch out game
I have Metroid Prime on the Ganecube and didn’t like it at all and never beat it. I could never locate the upgeades, or they were always blocked with another obstacle of some sort that I simply couldn’t by pass or required anither upgrade. Are Metroids 2 and 3 any better or does the Wii remake have any differences from the GC ones?
If you didn’t like the first Metroid Prime then you definitely won’t like Metroid Prime 2 (but hey it has a fun multiplayer component). It sounds like Metroid Prime3 is more where you want to go. The game’s story is really good so you aren’t really ever confused as to where you want to go and the boss fight with Meta Ridley is worth the full price alone.
DeJtheGamer, they all have that same structure and both of the other games are more oft the same so if you didn’t like the original, chances are this won’t change your mind.
As for me though, I’ll be in heaven.
How in the blue hell did Nintendo let a game with the name S.C.A.T. on the eShop? Lol gross.
