Been playing Gunman Clive, great fun and well worth the price, you'd be a fool not to own it.

Agreed! It costs more to get a bus home in the city where I live and it's a fun game besides. To Gunman Clive!

YAY! More converts. There's no excuse for anybody to miss this game now it's on sale.

Quick moan: SEGA! Where are the original two Game Gear Sonic the Hedgehog games? Game Gear support is very poor, as is SEGA support generally these days.

I bought Clive and Mudds in the last ten minutes. Is it me, or have Nintendo/the developers hijacked the rating system? Every game seems to have at least three stars! Even the dressing up witches game with the pink squid.

Wouldn't surprise me, not like any smart gamer will take notice of those ratings anyway.

Downloaded Gunman Clive the other night, not fired it up yet though. Watched the preview trailer of it on the eShop, raised a smile it did.

I'm finishing sodding bastard cretin Harmoknight before I try out my new picks.

EDIT: Tried out the new picks (I beat the HK final boss. That definitely counts), and I don't think I'm going to get on with them. Especially MM: it's hard, and I do not like being sent back to the start of a section, in control of a very slow character, when I get spiked. I do like Clive's art style, I'll give it that, but I feel that all the levels are going to seem boring and samey after a while as a result. I'll give them another go tomorrow, perhaps.

Gunman Clive is quality. Would happily play through it for a third time in the near future.

We're getting Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo next week, and I'm interested. I quickly downloaded the trial of the original onto my phone (Little Acorns) and it's a fairly decent platformer (Single screen like DK '94), but having extra content, a Turbo mode and physical buttons should make the 3DS one a winner. Just hoping the developer sets a good price like Gunman Clive's - it goes for under a quid on Windows Phone.

Mutant Mudds and I did not get along, which surprised me - normally a massive fan of 2D platformers. Gunman Clive does change things up from time to time, and the other characters are a nice bonus. Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo interests me, too, although the name stinks to all get out.

Gunman Clive is a very short game, so it doesn't really have chance to grate. It's well worth beating the first time to get the unlockable, though. It turns the adventure completely on its head. I've finished it about four times now, on various difficulties with various characters.

I bought Clive

Anderson or Tyldesley?

Anyhow, some good sales coming this week http://m.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/48606/special-level-5-game-sale-hits-3ds-eshop-this-week

I'm more into Gunman Clive now. Peach's Mrs. Johnson's floaty dress is helping matters immensely, although not sufficiently against Bionic Commando at the end of World 3.

All three Guild01 games are on sale as of Thursday:

Nice. I held off of these so I could pick them up in a sale - now's the time for me to give them a bash.

£2.69 for Aero Porter is a very good price, hope some of you give it a bash, it's... different.

No excuse not to get Aero Porter now! Your brain will love the challenge. Kukuku.

Bit disappointed that Little Acorns 3D Turbo's publisher set the price at around a fiver. If it's good I'll have no complaints buying it but it's not quite in the impulse buy territory that the smartphone original is...

What's interesting is the amount of indie support/eShop support 3DS is finally getting, as seen at iDEAME 2013. This time last year, eShop releases were few and far between but now the service has really come into its own.

Nintendo really have improved policies for developers and embraced indies to the point that the EU/NA eShops are more interesting than the Japanese one, where shovelware from Arc System Works regularly 'graces' the service (Japanese eShop does have a few gems that I'm hoping will be unveiled during Wednesday's Nintendo Direct, like 3D Space Harrier).

That Zeptolab are publishing Cut The Rope 3DS themselves and not through an external publisher (like Chillingo, who would provide marketing and financing for them) on eShop says it all, really.

Can we have 3D Outrun now please, Sega?

I'd buy Rez again if it was on 3DS.

That'd be amazing. Also anything by Jeff Minter in 3D. Yes please.

That eShop game download card scheme has finally been launched over here, and the result's pretty good: all 3DS downloads are currently being sold at below RRP. If Fire Emblem's sold out by the time I buy it, I'd consider the download at these prices (I won't pay the £40 RRP Nintendo slap on the games at the eShop, though). See: http://www.nintendo-nation.net/eshop-download-codes-at-retail-finally-leave-japan/

I downloaded Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo (silly name) but haven't played it - I want to finish Hydroventure: Spin Cycle first. The eShop has been pretty great of late, hasn't it?

Woo! I cheaped out and downloaded the original on my smartphone instead, but it's been an enjoyable platformer so far. Though those wild boar enemies drive me insane.

Liberation Maiden and Aero Porter are now mine! First impressions are strong, particularly with Liberation Maiden - I can see myself wanting to play until the end.

have they stopped selling the £15 eShop cards in non-e shops? I couldn't find one anywhere I looked (Game and WH Smiths) today.

Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo is a lovely little game, once you get past its ridiculous name (they should have added 'Advance 64' onto the end, for my money! ). It reminds me of many other great platformers, like Chuckie Egg and Donkey Kong '94. It also, as its name suggests, steadfastly refuses to take itself seriously. I recommend it, though it hasn't been challenging up to press...

Ditto! The second boss battle was a stumbling point for me in terms of collecting all the fruit on my way to the finish. Have "properly completed" year 2 now.

I have just purchased the Guild01 games, but they may have to wait to be played.

:king: Just bought Fire Emblem.
Also did you know that the Animal Crossing: New Leaf software title is in the Eshop?
