    I've seen a few 9/10's and 8/10's for the 3DS version as well, but overall neither game is a big hit with critics.

    I wonder how Batman: Arkham Origins/Blackgate is going to fare with reviewers.

    $20 for Revelations? Sounds like I'm going to download my first Wii U retail game

    Dang, wonder if us PAL folk can expect a similar RE sale anytime soon.

    I'm with you on that. Loved AAI so much fun.

    I'm a little envious if you haven't played it yet. It's great. We should get some Raid Mode matches up and running in this joint.

    I have that RE: Mercenaries game, but I haven't played it yet. If anyone gets that and wants to try some co-op, let me know, that's the way I'd like to play the game.

    Well now, I might get that RE Mercs game. Anyone who hasn't got Revelaitons, grab that.

    So far, so good with Ace Attorney! I'm really enjoying this series' latest entry!

    Haha, how does it compare to the GameCube game or Resident Evil 4?

    @Mr_Mustache
    It's not as great as those, but it's a great game in its own right. More similar to RE4 than REmake I guess. Better than RE 5 and 6, IMO.

    Wow, there are a few things out that I really want.
    First thing's first though: PHOENIX!

    Surprised Wii Party U wasn't mentioned in the press release. Looks like Nintendo might delay the eShop release (retail launches tomorrow).

    @anon_mastermind There's no eShop version of Wii Party U.

    @Mop it up

    WHAT? That's dumb. Should be every game.

    @-JKR-
    Yeah, that's strange. Wii Party U is one of the few retail Wii U games I'd be willing to buy digitally.

    @Mop it up
    That's what I thought, but now that I've pondered it some more, it makes sense to hold back the digital version, since it will ultimately be priced much higher than the "apparent value" contained within the remote bundle. Once the Wii remote bundles sell out, a standalone SKU will hit store shelves, and this might be when the game becomes available digitally.

    I didn't play 5 or 6. Just those two I mentioned.

    I haven't played 5 or 6 either, but REvelations is a damn fun game I've put nearly 50 hours into on the 3DS, and I've only scratched the surface on Raid Mode.

    I can honestly say its not as good as 4, but I also believe that was the best game of the last 2 generations, so I will state there's a lot of room to make a great game underneath that masterpiece.
