IGN has Lego listed for $59.99, but Amazon has it for $49.99. What's the story on this one?

@ludist210Sweet! Right on my birthday! Nice! EDIT Aurgh, CURSES! I've been bamboozled! I thought Zen Pinball 2 would hit the 3DS, but it's only for the Wii Eww.

Dude...HarmoKnight is what I wished Bit.Trip Runner would be. Getting in rhythm with the music actually HELPS in HarmoKnight, instead of Runner's obstacles-on-the-beat crap that punishes you for getting musical with your platforming. The difficulty also seems tuned well: you get about five hit points, but the timing is fairly demanding (not quite Rhythm Heaven demanding, but close) and I played an optional stage that was pretty tough, with lots of fun foreground obstructions and constant enemies and whatnot. It also ends with a boss battle that's very reminiscent of the Shoot-'Em-Up game from Rhythm Heaven, combined with Rhythm Thief's fun cinematic scenarios. Also, I'm pretty sure it's running at 60FPS even with the 3D on. It really makes the 3D effects pop and look wonderful. Along with its clean, cartoony visuals, I'm loving the style. There's even a cool Super Mario World style world map, though I'm assuming it's more straightforward and for-show than Mario World's labyrinthine fun. Plus the music is Pokemon-grade catchy. I wasn't really looking into this game, but it's suddenly pinging my radar pretty hard. Probably going to be picking it up when it drops in two weeks. Do we have a price for this yet?

@Kal-El814So for those people who care... Assassin's Creed 3 is listed as being a 17GB download in the eShop. On my HDD, it's 16GB. NSMB U is listed as 1733MB, on my HDD it's 1659MB. Worth noting is that update data are not included in those filesizes in my HDD, they're parsed out separately in Data Management. I assume the delta is for the installer. So Lego City probably isn't 22GB worth of data, it'll be more like 20GB; it looks like the difference between eShop download size and final storage size scales as the files get bigger. That said I have no fucking clue what could POSSIBLY take up that much data for that game!

I'm a little surprised Assassin's Creed III is such a large file as well. Either way, 20gb for Lego seems a little ridiculous.

@Kal-El814I noticed the difference in download size versus storage size for Balloon Fight and F-Zero. The download size is around 35MB for each, but the actual game is a lot smaller.

I'm confused, why wouldn't pressing the buttons on the beats (to avoid obstacles) be getting in rhythm with the music?

That would be getting in rhythm with the music...but that's not how Runner works. In Runner, if you press the button on the beat, you're doing it too late because Commander Video meets the obstacle at the beat. You have to hit the button BEFORE the beat in Runner in order to jump over and slide under things. In HarmoKnight the obstacles are delayed just past the beat, meaning when you jump or attack on the beat, you'll avoid/attack the oncoming obstacle instead of colliding with it.

@nate38 I'm not sure if that is totally accurate. Either way it feels a ton like playing an instrument to me, but then again many instruments have some kind of inherent delay, so I dunno.

@Zero It's the only "rhythm" game that this happens to me. If I know the song, I can play Rock Band and Rhythm Heaven and HarmoKnight with my eyes closed as if I'm playing an instrument. Only in Runner do I have to keep my eyes peeled. Hell, I do better in Runner when I turn the sound off so I don't get caught up in the rhythm. I rediscovered the phenomenon the other day when I tried the Runner2 demo on PSN. It's especially disappointing because the jump and duck obstacles are pre-rhythm while the springboards and ball-blocks are beat-precise. So for some things it helps to get in rhythm, but for others it hurts! Just can't stand it.

@GameDadGrantWhy do you have such a strong hate for the Wii U? Given the fact you're so into portables, you should love it because it's both a portable (for around the house) and a home console.

Damn I still haven't gotten Etrian Odyssey IV yet... I mean MH3U is a given for me though. Punch Out!! I'll likely grab too while it's at that price. And I'm curious about this, "HarmoKnight". Will try the demo.

@nate38Ahh glad I'm not the only one who thought of Rhythm Thief during that boss fight. Awesome little game, based on that demo. I don't like it more or less than Runner2, they are different in significant ways, enough to merit a purchase of both.

@ludist210LOL, no hate. Just messing around.  Took me all night to come up with that Wii "Eww" joke. I thought it was hilarious, but my wife just rolled her eyes.
