Kersploosh is only $3? Shit, I'll check that out for sure.

Will be a busy downloading day for my 3DS, that's for sure. I'm down with all of them except for that Monster High one.

Kersploosh! is apparently a few years old? Hmm. Any Europeans played this yet?

@Guillaume I got confused and thought it had came out in Europe 2 years ago, but apparently it only came out in Japan 2 years ago?

Either way it supposedly came out in Europe a week ago, so my question still stands...

Good week! I'll get Kersploosh to replace Gunman Clive as the cheap go-to game on my home screen. I'll grab the Pokemon demo, and I'm curious to hear impressions about ATV Wild Ride. RE: Mercs would be an insta-buy but I have Revelaitons for online play. I may still grab it, since it is different enough.

I think Sakura Samurai is on sale for five bucks, too. Anyone play that? I'm interested, for a fiver.

So it's the Pokemon demo, Kersploosh, and maybe Sakura Samurai for me this week.

Sakura Samurai is a decent game but nothing remarkable. I would recommend it if you like Punch-Out style gameplay.

The great thing about a $3 download is that I don't even have to care much about waiting for reviews and such, if the impressions seem "ok" I can just try it out on my own for half the price of the crappy Subway sandwich I'm going to eat for lunch today.

@anon_mastermind

It's got some Punch-Out!! gameplay but it doesn't have the character, and it's really not executed as well.

I say it's not worth it even at that price.

I say it's worth $5. It's a fun little game, IMO.

I think I'm going to download my first Wii VC game in a long time, can never get enough versions of KOF 98.

Right?!? I wonder if The King of Fighters: Evolution will hit the Virtual Console ever? That's my personal favorite.

Nice!

Going to download both Mercs and Nano Assault to my little 3DS for some sweet dual-analog action. Or wait... does Mercs support the CPP? I really hope it does because after playing Revelations it will be really had to go back to the old way.

Has anyone played Resident Evil Mercenaries? I'm curious if the online co-op is fun enough to be worthwhile.

Charles and I played a little of it. It was fun. It'll be nice having it on tap if you guys ever want to get a quick match up and running.

@Mop it up@Deerock69
Yep we played and it was great, I'm hoping more people will pick this up now that it's a more appropriately priced at $20. I'd love to play with some peeps from the board. I don't think it supports voice chat though, which is the only drawback.

I wonder what would happen if Nintendo released an up-rezed version of Metroid Prime Hunters for the 3DS? That game had absolutely fantastic online multiplayer in the early days before it got hacked to pieces. Derrick I think we played that together too, with CrazyLink1 and a bunch of other old IGN people.
