Why not sign up for a (free) account?
 
Pokken demo, eh? I was just about to order the game from GameFly. Maybe I'll grab something else instead and just get the demo for now.

*gasp*

You're the reason why we don't get more demos!

Lovely Planet is legit, y'all.

Wonder if it has WiiMote integration?

@New Forms

If it has wiimote or tablet controls, I'm in.

Lovely Planet is really great. You guys are right, Wiimote controls would be perfect for it.

The oddly named Chronicles of Teddy: Harmony of Exidus sounds interesting. Could only find one review for it (admittedly didn't look very hard) but it was a positive review. Comparisons to Zelda II / Metroid.

@Secret_Tunnel

I had a bit of a hard time with the demo because it lacked the wiimote. I sure hope they added it on some random chance...

Oh goodie, I was hoping we would eventually get the Pokken demo since Europe did. I have no idea if I'd like the game or not, so the only way to know is to try it out.

Oh, also, I'm familiar with the two people who made PixlCross, so I was able to get a free download code to try it out. I'll be sure to post here what I think, as I know that there are a few picross fans here.

@Mop it up

Please do share! Nintendo has set an incredible precedent for quality Picross. Hopefully this stands up to that for ease of the UI and fun of the puzzles.

@Zero

I was interested I. That game from the screenshots I've seen, but also hesitant because the last well reviewed game that was frequently compared to Zelda 2 (Elliot Quest) had the worst port job I've ever played and was badly designed underneath the technical issues.

Despite this, the game was universally praised and not a single review I read mentioned any of the numerous glitches and crashes I had experienced.

Any game could come out with a sloppy port, but that game gave me a bad association with "Zelda 2 clone" and "bad game"
