I perked up when I saw Badge Arcade promotion! But it's only for those who pay money, so phooey.

Destructoid's glowing review for Pocket Card Jockey makes me think I should at least check out the demo, even if I'm not really in the market for an addicting puzzle game right now...


Of all the DS games to put on the Wii U virtual console....Style Savvy? Interesting choice.

@TriforceBun

I'm curious, how many hours have each of you wasted in Badge Arcade? Is it fun? If so, why is it worth all that time spent but not a couple bucks here and there, especially when that will likely nab you even cooler badges? If not, why waste that time at all for cosmetic badges that only you see?

Huh. Interesting that the description up there (I'm assuming ripped right off another page?) mentions that Little Mac was making his return to everything..despite the fact that the character in Super Punch-Out!! is explicitly NOT Little Mac. Weird.
