It's a pretty straightforward run 'n gun with magical girl flavor and a janky translation. There's 3 difficulties and you can play through as 2 characters (one must be unlocked; she's more powerful but has an attack that's shorter range). There are achievements (called Playing Levels in the game) that when achieved, unlock art. There's 16 save slots.

The levels are all pretty simple and uncomplicated, kinda boring on their own but the enemy placement and interactions make at least the initial trek through interesting. The boss fights take a few gos each. I played through on the easiest difficulty -- the Miiverse board consensus seems to be that the higher difficulties are really hard, take that as you will. I spent about 5 hours in the game playing through both characters on easy. I enjoyed it, and may come back to play some more.

I've heard some praise for the game but I wasn't sure if it was actual praise or "this game actually isn't bad!" I might check it out sometime when I'm running low on games, but Azure Stricker Gunvolt should satisfy my needs for this genre for now.


+ Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
(Won't start until this Sunday when all my exams are over).

+ Shovel Knight (Digital)


Mighty Gunvolt is bad, by the way, I recommend people avoid it. It's an incompetent Mega Man clone with boring level design that clocks in at about an hour. Avoid.

I got it for free with Azure Stricker Gunvolt, haven't bothered to beat it yet. It had some cool mechanics but seemed simple.

+Hana Samurai: Art of the Sword (Digital) (Sakura Samurai in NA)

Got this game for 3400 stars after filling out some surveys on Club Nintendo.

+ Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (retail)

+ SteamWorld Dig (DIgital)
+ Bravely Default (Retail)

+ Pokemon Art Academy (digital)

Updated up to post #138

40 games were added (16 digital), with 7 new titles. No games were removed, making a total of 910 games (530 digital) with 350 unique titles (ranked!). With no new members, there still are 42 members' lists.

No big changes to the list. Heroes of Ruin reentered the list and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is one of the new titles (was added twice, so there are at least 2 new Nintendo 3DSs around).

Next update will be in june.

Forgot we added hardware, so:

+ New Nintendo 3DS XL red
