They've got a lot of good shit on sale! Here's what I got so far:

  • Bot Vice - $2.99 (Sale ended yesterday)
  • Double Dragon II (NES) - $3.50
  • Akane - $1.99
  • Guilty Gear: Accent Core - $4.20
I plan on getting a couple more games later, but I suggest you jump on this sale right now!

People need to understand how great these deals are. First Party Games are on sale people. FIRST. PARTY.


Breath of the Wild 39.99


Super Mario Odyssey 41.99


Fire Emblem Three Houses 41.99

But to me, the more surprising thing is Bakugan Champions Vestroia


It's 29.99... It came out November 3rd 2020. That's 40% off only a month after it released. That is insane. And ten times more insane when you realize that it's Nintendo doing that.

~Edit.

Oh My Space Jesus... Did Nintendo just put some of their First Party Beloved Games on sale to distract us from how shitty they've been acting with Melee and Splatoon?

I know I forgot about their chicanery for a second.

I just picked up The Takeover and this Motocross game and they are nice light fun and not to meaty or stresful.

Nintendo EShop is sitting on some gems here and there.

Let me know how good the takeover is. Enjoy. I got my digital copy on steam back in 2018 and on switch earlier this year.

So, the Takeover makes me 11 years old again. I'm at the arcade with my Cousin, and we're just being super terrible at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And that actually isn't a good thing. Because I always enjoyed Beat 'Em Ups with a friend. Not having one around makes me miss it and kind of takes me out of the experience.

You'll get better at it. The Takeover is actually not that hard. It's one of the easier brawlers you can play. Once you know how the juggle system works and exploits, the game turns in to almost a DMC or Alien vs. Predator juggle fest. Remember, you will make it to this!


Hard does have a challenge as enemies move and get faster reaction time. For some reason, the game disables level select on Hard mode so I suggest you do Normal first, and once you get comfortable with the mechanics, then you try Hard. Do you have a favorite character or still figuring that out?

Hey, Brawlman. Figured I'd let you know. I bought some eShop cards to download a game. And with the remainder, I'm the proud owner of Guilty Gear XX accent Core Plus R... WHY IS THAT NAME SO LONG?!

Because Arc System really love being pretentious and confusing with their naming conventions.
I kind of glad someone is continuing that traditon. I remember ps2 era JRPGs doing that alot especially the .Hack games.

It's partially why I did not bother with many JRPGS in the PS2 era; especially the .hack// games. It's fine once in a while, but when everyone starts doing it, it gets nauseating and annoying. Makes it hard to keep track unless you like making long lists or spreadsheets.

The eShop sales have been quite disappointing over the last couple of days.

Really kicking myself that I completely forgot to check it over Black Friday, because I bet there were some amazing deals there.

Ah well, my time to expand my indie library will come again.
