The Awesome Deals in the Nintendo eShop Thread!

[jmbarnes101]

So while I wasn't looking I'm apparently up to 31 eShop titles and another 7 virtual console titles. I'm sure others have a lot more but I'm surprised I have this many since I only buy games on sale or through a Humble Bundle. Well, except for Earthbound and Kuru Kuru Kururin which I wanted to support in hopes they'll do more.

I am not surprised. There are some good games on there. I particularly like some of the mobile ports that you can play with tactile controls. (The Wii U controller, as much as it is disparaged, is great for combining tactile and touch control schemes.)

G-Style and Tom Create games are on sale in the eShop right now. Both developers make really fun, very quirky games, and all of their games are exclusive to the 3DS. (They remind me of the strangest, most fun Japanese import games of the PS1 era.)

The games to look out for are:

Runny Egg
Undead Storm Nightmare
Ninja Battle Heroes
Alien on the Run
Smash Cat Heroes
Jump Trials Supreme
Escape from Zombie City
Chain Blaster
Undead Bowling
Crazy Construction

I have a lot of these already, but since Alien on the Run is one of my favorite 3DS games, I encourage you to try some of these games yourselves. (Seriously, Alien on the Run is incredibly fun, and it is now only $1.99.)

Also, The Fall (Wii U) is only $1.99 too; so, if you don't have it, you should pick up that game too.

[ElkinFencer10]

DEFINITELY pick up The Fall if you don't have it; there's a sequel coming out soon.

[Sarge]

Yeah, I'll plug for The Fall as well.

[prfsnl_gmr]

You both SHOULD be plugging for Alien on the Run. It is one of the best, most enjoyable games that I have played this year:

The videos and reviews don't do it justice, and its only classification is "comical escape action puzzler". I loved it and its bizarre sense of humor, and I think other people on her will like it too.

Plus...it's only $1.99!

[retrosportsgamer]

^Are they all $1.99?

[prfsnl_gmr]

No. They range up to $3.50.

Without double checking, all are discounted at least 50%, I believe. I will be picking up:

Jump Trials Supreme (because I love platformers)
Chain Blaster (it looks cool)
Undead Bowling (great concept...you battle hordes of the undead with a giant bowling ball)
Crazy Construction (it is supposed to be a really fun puzzler)

I already have most of the others, and I will vouch for all of the ones I have played (i.e., Runny Egg, Ninja Battle Heroes, Alien on the Run, and Smash Cat Heroes).

KURU KURU KURUIN IS ON ESHOP!?!?!

*zooooooom to the Wii U*

Really though, that's awesome. Kururin Squash is a very very fun Gamecube game, so I've been looking for the GBA game foreeeever (just like the original Mori Mori Slime).

Thanks for the recommendations - after playing around with a few demos, I just snagged all of these for a little less than $20. Seems like a nice way to cheaply breathe some new life into my 3DS for the next little while.
