Did anyone ever find out how much sonic lost world was on sale for?
Yeah it is $19.99! I bought it this morning and also downloaded all the free DLC lol
oh snap, now that’s a decent price, i need to remember to get that tonight. thanks!
That bit about “but now you can trade and battle Pokémon in 2D using local wireless on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems”
I wonder how far that goes.
I wonder if they censored any of the bikinis of the Fire Emblem ladies adjusting their bikini bottoms using what looks like someone’s cape in Beach Brawl like they did in Awakening, because it’s not like anyone is going to mistake that for a guy giving it to her from behind, right? This is a game for people aged in their teens on up to adulthood, after all. That kind of thought process is going to cross some of their minds. After all, it’s human nature to have a slightly perverted mind. *shrug* Oh well.
