Translate that into modern money, adjusted for inflation, and that was almost $56. So the games that people are buying now for the 3DS are still underpriced compared to what people WERE paying back in the day.<br /><br />Next, the eShop has made some major strides with game ratings and user reviews. The eShop games are a touch more expensive than their Android counterparts, but since the controls are better on the 3DS, it kind of makes up the difference.Lee Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318611726967198747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958630519986783831.post-37046262383164384562012-09-19T11:34:28.094-05:002012-09-19T11:34:28.094-05:00Congrats!

As the cost of physical games rises, and salaries don't, however, they are selling less and less. i will argue, however, that the percentage of "good" to "bad" games is not all that different between Android and GB. There are LOTS of bad games for Wii/GB, and i've shelled out lots of money for them, until i eventually reached a point that i would no longer buy games unless i had found several positive reviews for them on reputable gaming sites. That left me with only 2 Wii/3DS titles in 2012 (Heroes of Ruin and Skyward Sword). At a 2-5 Euro price-point on the Android users feel more free to experiment, and don't fret so much over a bad game which cost them only 3 Euros. The games in the DS online stores cost as much or more and are missing the user reviews which make all the difference in the Android stores.Stephan Bealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644587225944529456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958630519986783831.post-32294334257800821592012-09-08T21:52:55.372-05:002012-09-08T21:52:55.372-05:00aw come on, it's still good, just a little dif...aw come on, it's still good, just a little difficultsir jorgehttp://sirjorge.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958630519986783831.post-72251515709489891752012-09-06T14:37:20.360-05:002012-09-06T14:37:20.360-05:00But but they run really fast!But but they run really fast!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10800282548198777396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958630519986783831.post-90592329873811347522012-08-18T22:09:25.756-05:002012-08-18T22:09:25.756-05:00I know!

I was over at a co-workers house from DISH a few days ago and finally got a chance to see it played in person. When I saw all the different features like a playable Nightwing and Catwoman, I was highly impressed. I wish I had the money to buy it right now but I’m just a little broke right. But I did add it to my Blockbuster@Home queue. I owe it to myself to play this game, so I think I’ll go ahead and try it out first before I buy it, just incase.
