Heh, it's been a while since I last played a game that was still being regularly updated with DLC. New heists, achievements, masks, weapons, and such are still coming out for Payday 2, so while I try to steadily make progress, the gates of the end game continue to grow farther away.

Now that I've gotten my hands on it, I'm really enjoying Shanghai Mini. I ran through a few of the designs last night in the Classic mode. I hope to make my way through that and see all of the different arrangements the game offers before moving on to the Tournament and Dynasty modes.

Beat a couple stages of Mega Man Powered Up on the PSP this morning. I like the cute, chibi art style, the new features, and especially the ability to put it on wimp mode (for those that suck at Mega Man like me). However, there is one glaring gameplay flaw:

When Mega Man starts to move, he like, sticks or hesitates for a split second. And in a game like this, that is SUPER annoying. I don't know if I'm gonna come back to this one.

I started up Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and it seems freaking amazing. Is the GBA game good too? Think there's one on the eShop.

EDIT: Wait, I guess there isn't one on the eShop and it was some cancelled title? I swear I thought there was a second Shantae game on eShop haha..

There is. It is Shantae: Risky's Revenge. It is a DSiWare game, but if you search the 3DS eShop, you should find it. (The GBC original is there too.)

Don't have a 3DS, is it on the U? Googling around it looks like it was announced a year or two ago and I see some listings, but it's TBA and I'm not getting any concrete info haha.

Guess I should have specified... Wii U eShop, VC, DSiWare, 3DS eShop, OMFGefoiaEWFE. Nintendo is silly and confusing.

I could just grab it on the PS4 if not though.

There is no GBA Shantae game. You're thinking of the GBC original Xeo.
There are three games:
Shantae (GBC)
Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DsiWare originally, now available elsewhere)
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (various digital downloads)
.... and a forth game coming soon.

Now unfortunately the first game in on the 3DS VC and not the Wii U VC.
The second game you get on Steam.
Third game is on Wii U - sound like you already have it! 8)

There actually was a GBA Shantae game, but it unfortunately got cancelled. I do think playing Shantae 1 on a GBA gives you an extra transformation, though.

My god these E-Reader levels in Super Mario Bros Advance 4 are insane! It's tough having SMW elements in here too, but you don't get the cheap spin jump to safely exploit hopping on enemies. No level checkpoints either. This Beetlebug Challenge stage is ridiculous.
