I went ahead and bought it as well. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I'll enjoy it. While my art skills are questionable at best, I enjoy doodling as much as the next guy.

I messed with the application for a while yesterday and found it surprisingly good. Switching layers and removing layers is easy, and the tools are robust. Being able to save the images to the SD card is nice, as well.

Well no new VC releases except Kirby's Block Ball is advertised as coming soon. No sign of Wario Land any time in the near future so I'm just gonna give up hope on that one and it'll somehow magically appear out of no where when I pick up interest in the 3DS again.

So anybody playing 3D Classics: Kid Icarus?

I decided to see if the game was still as impossible as it seemed when I was a kid...and that first level is still wicked hard. But when I was reading up on ways to make it easier, I discovered that it's apparently one of the few games that starts hard and gets easier -- rather than the easy-to-hard progression of, y'know, normal games -- resulting in a final level that's actually easier than the first level? Very odd.

I tried out the Pyramids demo, but wasn't super impressed.

I beat it around the time I got Uprising. After 1-2 it gets a lot more manageable. But keep in mind that this is based off the Japanese version, so there's no New Game Plus, which makes getting the best ending a lot harder.

I got it with my pre-order and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Gets a lot better after you get over the hump of the first few levels. Never even knew about the multiple endings.

I finally beat it!

The difficulty does easy up after the Underworld, but it's still pretty tough (unless you want to grind, which is a trade-off between tough and tedious). There were enough interesting ideas to keep me from giving up entirely before reaching the end, but at the same time there are so many poor game design decisions that were made. Granted, that's partly due to the experimental nature of the game, and the nature of experiments is that they don't all end up successes.

It's definitely a game where you have to read the manual first (or use a strategy guide)...my not having access to the manual (and GameFAQs not yet existing) would explain why it seemed straight up impossible when I was a kid. The game practically teaches you to play it incorrectly, by making you think that enemies spawn infinitely at the beginning and need to be just pushed through, unless you've read enough to know you're supposed to be trying to kill every single one in order to level up.

An Angry Birds cash-in that doesn't bother with trying to imitate Angry Birds gameplay...kind of odd. At least the price is interesting, though I doubt it will convince anyone else to set future 3DS eShop games at a similarly low price.

Whoa, Nintendo better slow down. If the eShop updates continue to be as exciting as these last four weeks, I just don't know what I'll do with myself.

Nothing to see here.

It looks like there might be a pattern developing of the second Thursday of the month being new demo week.

Ummm Kirby Block ball is a very interesting and fun game, and more difficult than you would expect out of a kirby game.

I'll get Block Ball but I do want my Wario Land first.

Mighty Switch Force update is finally out. There's...absolutely nothing besides that.

Interesting way to go about DLC, having you redownload the game.

I think that's how some PSN games do it. At least early ones like Super Stardust HD. The new stuff is hard to Par, especially Bonus 1. I really have no idea how to do that any faster.

So is there anyone here who is nostalgic for Rayman GBC?

Not me, but I'm pretty pumped to see Game & Watch Gallery 2 was added recently. I played the shit out of that game as a kid.

My God! Wario Land is still not on the US eShop? I honestly have no words to express my disappointment in NoA right now

Holy crap, the eShop Virtual Console just got laserdisc arcade port! Does this mean we'll start seeing further arcade ports...?

This just makes it seem that much more sad that Nintendo is so far refusing to port SNES and GBA games...

On the other hand, the last two weeks have had a lot more games (and demos) than usual. Could this be the new state of things? Is Nintendo finally starting to learn?
