So that's your lot for this week's North American Nintendo Download. Go on, be a sport and drop a vote in the poll above, and comment below with your hot picks!
RPG lover first and Nintendo fan second, Alana is often found overthinking battle strategies, characters, and stories. Fortunately, she’s also easily pleased by anything Yoshi-related, creepy-but-cute Pokémon, and SEGA air pirates.
I've never even heard of Champion Wrestler, so that's a big curio for me. I wonder how it compares to Saturday Night Slam Masters...
I really wish they would have re-released Monkey Island 1&2 along with Return. I would have bought all 3 gladly.
Haha, I read it as 'Beer & Breakfast'. I've certainly had beer with breakfast before.
Time for some Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate!
Gotta buy Monkey Island before Monday so I can get the preorder-exclusive Horse Armor!
Screenshots would be nice, I skip over a lot of good games and find out about them later
Eagerly awaiting Radiant Silvergun's rerelease on the US eShop
Played Thimbleweed Park last year, and hoping that MI can scratch the adventure game itch for ne
Jack Move for me. The demo was pretty cool. The music sold me
While I'd like to pick up and try Various Daylife, I've got a massive backlog and plans this weekend that involve spending money haha. So I'll have to pass for now.
That's the only one im currently interested in hmm.
Today on ACA we are getting Rompers.
Like many people, I never heard of it until maybe a couple months ago when the Retro Pals played through the PS1 Namco Museums and he hyped the chat for playing this obscure game on the Japanese-only sixth "Encore" volume. The chat was not disappointed.
I am still working my way through Arcade Paradise and enjoying the ride, so no purchases this week for me.
I am very interested in Monkey Island but I do not want to support Disney in anyway to be honest.
Monkey Islaaaaaand! Guybrush is back!
@Jhena You could always explore ways to pirate it...
XD I see what you did there. I am sure you were just joking, but even if I do not want to support a developer or publisher, I do not want to pirate. It is not fair. Watching it on Youtube is propably my only choice.
