    Yeah, now's the time to load up on any free apps or demos or whatever you may want too.

    I got skunked by tax, since I didn't bother to do the math beforehand. I was less than 50 cents short from getting two of the $7.99 Guild games. So I just grabbed Attack of the Friday Monsters!, which seemed to be the highest praised one, and instead of getting Crimson Shroud, like I had planned, I randomly bought Pocket Card Jockey. I was looking for something priced at $6.99 so I wouldn't be left with much leftover funds. I figured I like games with weird premises, and I'm up for trying more non-Pokemon Game Freak games.

    Several months back, I spent the rest of the funds I added getting all three BoxBoy games on 3DS, Pushmo (to go with Crashmo, which my husband already bought on this 2DS years ago), and Earthbound on Virtual Console.

    If I cared more about the 3DS, I probably would've added more funds and got all the Guild games and more of the digital-only 3DS-exclusive games, but honestly, I've mostly ignored the 3DS thus far. I was way more focused on the Vita. But it's nice to grab a few things while I can.

    When you guys buy games on eshop in the future, purchase the games online with Paypal, this way you don't have to add extra funds.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    When I found out "Dungeons and Dragons:Chronicles of Mystara" was on the cheap so I added some funds and jumped into the shop. As I strolled through the virtual aisles I picked up one of the Monster Hunter games on the U followed by "3D Classics: Kid Icarus" on the 3DS. Last weekend I rounded out my shopping with the Smash Contoller option for the 3DS along with Retro City Rampage DX.

    I've already played some Kid Icarus but dang...I didn't think they'd mess with the sound.

    Kid Icarus is based on the Famicom Disk System version.
    I instantly recognized that from the instant I booted it up. The distinctive FDS farty FM sound.
    That and the save function were the indicators.

    The 3D Classics version is? Huh. I've got an N8 Everdrive that can also play Famicom disk games along with having my NES modded to have proper sound. I may have to take the Pepsi challenge myself as I never did a comparison.

    I also bought dungeons and dragons chronicles of mystara for wii-u.Sure i have it digitally for PS3 and a japanese physical copy all ready but i thought for wii-u why not since it's dirt cheap.
