e ShOP diSCuSSioN (Fixed the title for ye mas)

dam nintendo with all there games, whjy didnt they spread them out a bit more, i do want that code of princess but £25 i no its a retail game in other places so isnt that bad of a price.

I highly recommend resi Mercs at that price & now no one can moan about "not being able to delete your save" issue.

The Game Boy Colour version of Harvest Moon is the one I've got my eye on this week, assuming that's a must buy?

Apart from the obvious purchase of HK, I'd like to see some reviews about Code of Princess. It looks like it might be quite fun, but the main character's armour puts me off.

This should do you for reviews, Balla:

It's been out in the States forever already.

I've had that for over a decade so perhaps I can help you make a decision. Basically, take the SNES version but streamline it by removing some of the animals and crops. It's a lot more focused for the changes, but is that what you want? That'll be up to you. Personally, I feel it's a good game - one of the best on the GBC - but there are better versions out there.

Mixed, it seems. Might wait for a dull period before I buy.

I had the SNES version when it first arrived on Wii Virtual Console, didn't play it as much as I though I would due to it being too much hard work, I'll give it another try this week though.

It's more of the same, unfortunately. Less to do, but probably expects more of you. If you've got the SNES version on your Wii, I'd be inclined to tell you to save your money and pass on the GBC download.

I've been waiting ages for a good number of games I'm interested in to drop down in price through a sale, and I've no joy yet. However, escapeVektor is half-price this week - what does anybody know about it? Worth downloading? I've only played one Nnooo game before...and that was the utterly abysmal Pop on WiiWare.

IT'S A GAME ABOUT FARMING

I think it needs a reappraisal from me so I'll give it a whirl.

sporky loved escapeVektor, if that knowledge is any use to you.

Has anyone tried Legend of the River King? It sounds like just my sort of thing, but recent lack of funds prevented me from taking an unnecessary risk.

This Thursdays offerings are:

Harmoknight (£12.99)
Resi Mercs 3d (£8.99)
Code of Princess (£24.99)
50 classic games (£4.49)

VC
Harvest Moon (GBC, £4.49)

Demos
Fire Emblem awakening

Trailers can be viewed here: http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/48006/eshop-games-of-the-week-harmoknight-code-of-princess-and-more/


So lots of good things on offer & in my opinion each week should be that full.

I couldn't find HarmoKnight. It's still just offering the demo. for me.

The eShop typicaly doesn't update until around 2pm. It's been a while since I've checked that on a Thursday though.

It's 9pm here and I still can't see it

HarmoKnight would have downloaded for me if an error had not occurred during the download process. They've given me an error code of some description - why not just tell me in English what went wrong?

I ended up downloading it at 5 this morning and had a quick run through the tutorial again, I'm even half tempted to get RE: revelations again off the e shop and maybe beat the final boss

ive just downloaded harmoknigh, i used a £15 voucher so ive got a whopping £2.13 in my 3DS wallet. Anything worth buyinh for that i dont mind putting a few £ to a game

This weeks downloads:


3dsWare
Monster High: Skultimate: Roller Maze (Little Orbit, £24.99)
Witch & hero (Circle, £3.60)
Alien chaos 3d (Reef, £3.59)

DsiWare
Ah! Heaven (Circle, £1.99)

VC
Mega man 3 (Capcom, £4.49)

So no one has anything to recommend, I'm thinking I might download that liberation game or whatever It's called. Also anyone got any idea why some downloads eg harmoknight for me don't seem to show up / link to my club nintendo but some do.

No idea, boss! I've not played Liberation Maiden but, for £2.13, your only bet is Gunman Clive. It's a fun game but it is terribly short. For a few pennies more you could get either Picross e game, VVVVVV or, for a more pricey experience, Hydroventure: Spin Cycle is decent.

Wee 3DS eShop sale on this week. Phillips says yes to Mutant Mudds at £5.39 and Gunman Clive at £1.49, but advises caution towards Mighty Switch Force at £4.09 and Fun! Fun! Minigolf at £3.19. Art of Balance was all right on WiiWare, and it is quite generous with it's content, but I still think it could be cheaper than £4.49.

I'd say yes to Mutant Mudds too, very enjoyable game. Suppose I'd better snap-up Gunman Clive at that price, or else I'll be lynched.

i will check those out, ive got mighty switch force on wiiu.
