Three huge, open-worldy games released on the same day after a months-long drought. Hahaha. Ha.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii U) for sure, and Mega Man 3 and the HarmoKnight demo as well. I want LEGO City Undercover and I'm curious about Need for Speed Most Wanted U after messing around with it on my phone...

@Guillaume

Three? I count two. Monster Hunter 3 is not an open-world type game.

Huge and/or open-worldy.

Glad to see everything I want will be available for download. Now I just need to see about getting that Nyko battery that triples the time for the gamepad without altering the size and shape. It would be nice to play these games all throughout the house.

Has F-Zero been available for a month already?? Wow.

Glad I didn't get Super Punch Out through Club Nintendo. I completely forgot this was going to be available.

@PogueSquadron

It's the NES game, not the Super Nintendo game.

@PogueSquadron

F-Zero has been out for 3 weeks, but by next Wednesday it will have been 4 weeks. It does seem like it just came out, though.

Gotta get that HarmoKnight demo. And I'm severely eyeing you, Lego, for that mini-vacation I'm taking before Easter. You have been warned.

Yeah! Punch Out! I'm inexplicably excited.

I can't determine whether the Chasing Aurora demo is a good idea or not. That game really needs a certain alchemy to work. But I'm looking forward to trying it with the nephews.

My 3DS is becoming somewhat like my 360. I'm jammed with demos! I just played Sonic & Sega Transformed on the train.

*vomits*

Definite get on Ketzal's Corridors. I've been waiting for this day!

Getting Lego, Monster Hunter and kind of sort of on the fence for Need for Speed...

HarmoKnight demo I will also get.

I'm curious to see if HarmoKnight can impress me after being extremely satisfied with Runner2. I hear it has an endless mode with online leaderboards.

I'll grab Mega Man 3. I'm not the biggest MegaMan fan, I only played MM2 on the Wii VC, never finished it due to the bullshit difficulty at the end. I think this will be more manageable with save states

I have $60 of eShop money ready for Monster Hunter on the 19th.

Lego, MH, N4S, HarmonyKnight, Etrian Odyssey IV, Fire Emblem: A.

I'm gonna be hella busy this month. Luckily I only work 12 days a month ;)

If only every week could be as good...!

Good to see Rayman Origins available as a download.

@anon_mastermind

Mega Man 3 is arguably the best in the series (2 is right up there). The level design after these the first three felt...too easy. It's worth your $5.

@GameDadGrant

Agreed. The only thing that would have made it better would have been Zen Pinball on Wii U. I thought it was coming the week after Runner2, and here we are two weeks later and still waiting.

It seems as though Lego City Undercover may require an external HDD (or at least, it takes up 22GB of space -- why?)

@ludist210 I know, but they're similar enough that I can get my fix out of the NES game.

Excited to try out Harmo Knight today!

lolwut

I need to check the space ACIII is taking up on my HDD. I wonder if the ultimate storage size ends up being smaller after the download is complete and the installer runs. I know Sony handles download data stupidly, in that it lets you download a file that you won't have enough room to install after the download completes. It wouldn't surprise me if the Wii U handled data in a similarly stupid way, given the abominable storage situation we find ourselves in and the silly way it handles installs.

Nothing for me this week!

But if I had a Wii U I'd be buying Lego and MH on disc.
