Lola's Math Train...? Seriously? Why aren't we getting better quality eShop titles than this crap? Do other handhelds/consoles get stuff as terrible (well it SOUNDS terrible) as this?

Picking up Mutant Mudds for sure!

Does Zen Pinball 2 have any free tables, or does it only come with demo versions of tables?

@VofEscaflowne

Well it was an iPhone app first I believe, and it's edutainment, so...meh. But hey, after getting two big games this week already (NFSMWU and MH3U) and possibly buying LEGO City Undercover, I'm pretty broke. I want Luigi's Mansion 2, but it will have to wait. Zen Pinball, though...

@VofEscaflowne

Just ignore it. I think it's smart to cater to parents and young kids, and if developers were smarter there would be tons of creativity apps on sale on the thing.

Vita has the whole PlayStation Mobile thing going on and even on PS3 shit like Jetpack Joyride was heavily promoted so yes, other systems get these.

Zen Pinball 2 is free? Really?

Will it have Attack From Mars in the future?

@TriforceBun

It's also free on other systems. You just have to purchase add-on tables for it. I don't know which tables it includes for free though...

@VofEscaflowne

Did you miss all the other stuff that is coming? I thought it looked like a pretty decent week (tough to beat last week, though).

EDIT- And that math train game might actually be good for my son who, like me, is a very visual learner.

@TriforceBun

No it won't, Zen Pinball is original tables, not recreations of physical ones. You may be thinking of The Pinball Arcade.

I just mean in general. There's nice first party releases but strong third party efforts on the 3DS eShop are very few in between.

Hm, Pokédex 3D Pro is on sale today, too? Nice.

Not sure if that's really something I wanna pick up, but...it's more tempting at that price.

I'd get Zen Pinball 2 but the cost is too high. These companies should be paying me for the time it takes me to download their games.

should read (any tables will cost money). Oh and 'm not entirely sure but I think some tables are only available in packs, bundled with others. It's some bullshit. I'll wait and see what Pinball Arcade looks like on Wii U before getting one or the other.

Overall, a shitty week, but can't complain due to the awesomeness that hit retail for Wii U and 3DS.

I'll probably get Mutant Mudds at that price

@anon_mastermind

Wait, so is there a point to downloading if you don't plan to buy anything?

You can demo most (all?) of the tables.

@anon_mastermind

All tables have demos as far as I can tell.
