I've only played Persona, Devil Summoner and Devil Survivor games... so this is my first plunge into this branch of MT... the trailers do have me really pumped though... well worth the extra asking price. If this is a trend I'm all for it.

愛 · 07-11-2013, 03:12 PM

I'm probably going to pick it up. Game looks BALLIN'.

Goon · 07-11-2013, 03:20 PM

STEAM SALE! My wallet is getting ready to cry..

愛 · 07-11-2013, 03:26 PM

Already told the wife there are going to be missing funds in the bank this month.

Peanut · 07-11-2013, 04:32 PM

Steam Sales have become less and less interesting to me. How many more times can I buy the same games for $5? They started off booming, because there was such a huge back catalogue of junk they could sell for nothing, but its to the point where that 2K bundle has A game I don't own. Diminishing returns.

愛 · 07-11-2013, 06:23 PM

I feel the same way, but there are a few games here and there that I don't own and end up picking up during the sale. And it's an exciting time to see all the savings people get. It's not just a selfish ordeal. I'm excited for people to get games and enjoy them at a reduced price.

Goon · 07-11-2013, 06:52 PM

Well now other sites have upped their game when it comes to sales.. Green Man Gaming and Amazon have both had some fantastic deals.. Steam has some competition..

After hearing about the $30 credit thing, I'm gonna pick it up. I'll save that credit for when Mario and Luigi comes out, which also seems to be doing well. I just hope it doesn't take up a crazy amount of blocks.

Man, you guys remember when the 3DS was kinda failing? Holy sh*t.

*Zulithe* · 07-12-2013, 04:24 AM

Oh right, yeah and the $30 eStore credit... that makes it an easy buy for most people, even those with only passing interest in one game as long as they already own the other. I've had Fire Emblem Awakening since launch day, wouldn't have it any other way. Got the cool freebie art book with it too from Gamestop.

Anyway the challenge for me over this Steam sale is rather I can get the Steam Summer Getaway badge this time or not :p Over the years I already own most of the games I could want... I don't know if I can pull it off this time.

The whole cards thing, yeah I know what a gimmick it is, but it's really smart of them to create this whole metagame within steam. Personally I think it's pretty cool, definitely more interesting than straight-up achievements.

*Zulithe* · 07-12-2013, 05:25 AM

Just got the new 3DS system update (6.1.0-12U) that has the new Streetpass games. I bought the game bundle that has them all. Anyone else?

*edit* Oops double post... sometimes forget I'm the only one up at this hour

*Storm Eagle* · 07-12-2013, 05:00 PM

I downloaded Super Mario Bros. 1 & 2 to my 3DS from the Nintendo eShop.

SMB2 became available yesterday, and I knew I had to download that so I'd be able to take that on the go with me. So I also figured I ought to have SMB1 as well.

Goon · 07-12-2013, 05:52 PM

I just picked up Borderlands 2 and the Season Pass during the Steam sale.. Installed it last night and plan on getting into it sometime tonight.

As for the "card" badge thing.. I'm not sure about this years version.. In the past it was much easier to get those badges.. This year though.. I don't know. It's going to be a bit of a challenge although I do already own quite a few of those games.

*Zulithe* · 07-12-2013, 06:02 PM

Yeah i've been tempted to get SMB2 for my 3DS as well but I just don't have time to really play it now. The 4.99 price annoying too... it would be worth it if it were "crossplay" to where I could own it on both my 3DS and Wii U, but naa, this is Nintendo we're talking about. Nothing works that seamlessly.

I'll wait till it's on sale.

Hey, Nintendo needs to work harder if they want me to repurchase games :p iOS, android, playstation and steam have proven this is a viable way to do business. Nintendo overvalues their back catalog IMO.

Well don't kill MY buzz because I wanted a portable version of SMB2.

I've already got the game for the NES, so I don't need it on the Wii (U). I was only interested in having another copy on the 3DS to take on the go with me.

*Ninjinister* · 07-13-2013, 03:48 PM

I picked up SMB2 just because I thought it'd be nice to have an on-the-go version and not have to lug my portable NES around. I'm content with it.

My problem with the pricing actually coincides with the amounts you can purchase. I forgot about tax, so I threw a tenner on the account with the intent to get SMB2 for $4.99 and then pick up another game (Pac-Man or one of the new StreetPass games, I figured) with the rest. But with tax, I've got just under the price any of that stuff costs, left. It seriously harshes my mellow and there's no way to throw an extra few cents or even just a buck on there.

*Icebot* · 07-13-2013, 04:21 PM

I just played Super Mario 64.

Ahh. Well, I didn't intend or think it would be interpreted that way. I totally think SMB2 is a fantastic game, and anyone who wants to buy it should.

One of the reasons I'm excited for Super Mario 3D World is for the SMB2 vibes.

Steam sales galore this month... picked up Just Cause 2 with DLC for under 5 bucks. Way more fun to play with mods. I'm liking the daily flash sales too.
