Can anybody vouch for Rage of the Gladiator on 3DS? I have heard its a great port of the Wiiware version, however both versions still have their differences, esp. with the Wiiware version having motion controls, but the 3DS version being more responsive with controls, but not as interactive. Also does 30fps on the 3DS version hurt the game much?

Checked out some reviews and I'm sold. I didn't read much about 30fps bringing it down, 30fps 3DS games have never bothered me.

Good thing I did not pick up Mega Man 6, as I have been meaning to download that one on my Wii U for a while now. Might snag the other VC games as well, just for convience on my Wii U. Weird how the 3DS versions of Mega Man are more expensive though.

kid icraus: Uprising is tempting at that price, just too bad its for 3DS Eshop only, unless Nintendo sells retail on their online store. With your account tied to one handheld console and all...

I definitely recommend Kid Icarus Uprising, I think physical copies are becoming quite scarse so unless you see something better on eBay or Amazon this might be your best price.
