Picross e, e2 and e3 are pretty cheap and are probably already available on your eshop then! Lord knows, I got my money's worth out of e. I played it before going to bed for at least a month or two!
e is pretty traditional Picross, featuring Easy, Normal, Free and Extra modes.
e2 has all of those, plus Micross.
e3 I haven't tried yet!
I will get them. Picross DS, Illust Logic and Picross 3D collectively ate up more hours of my life than I'd like to know

Afting finishing Zelda, I was a bit bored, so I downloaded some demo's. Here are my thoughts"
Mickey: Castle of Illusion something:
This game is shit. Looks crap, plays like crap. I did not like it at all. The painting, deleting shit was gimmicky and the platforming was mediocer. It also looked like a mediocer snes game.
Heroes of Ruins.
This game has an online component! So when naming your character the game warns you of offensive language. After thinking about it, I chose 'Dickhead'. To my surpise it was not allowed. Next try was 'dick' and that was deemed inappropriate too. You hear that parent everywhere?! Naming your child Dick is inappropiate. Third times a charm, when 'Vagina' was deemed appropiate. Somewhere Edge is nodding his head.
This was the most fun I had. The rest of the game was pretty mediocer. Has to save some tree thingamajing, from an evil bitch with a zombie army. To do that I had to missions that are giving to me by ghosts. ZZzzzzzz....
Etrain Odyssey 4
Like Heroes of Ruins this has an online component and again like Hero of Ruin, dickhead was not deemed an appropiate name for a guild. So guild Vagina it was. This game has unique character art, but once you play you see nothing of it, because everything is in 1st person. It is basically a dungeon crawler. It was really boring, you never see your character on screen and it looks basic from a gameplay perspective. It is really deep from a stat and customization perspective, but it is just not fun to play.
Mutant Mudds
I like this one, kinda simple 2D 8-bit style platformer. But the music is chatchy, the controls are tight and the level design is challenging. I finished the demo and had fun doing it, good show. I wonder if there is more depth to this game.
Fractured Soul
I loved this one. Here you use the 3DS duals screens in full effect. You warp from one screen to another with a simply push at a button. For instance their is a chasm in the upper screen, but in the lower screen there are platforms there, then you warp to the lower screen and proceed on with your journey. It starts simple, but before long you feel like your brain is going to explode. I nice twist to the platform genre. I urge you to try this demo and see for yourself!
Bravely Default
Wow this game is gobsmackingly beautiful. Too bad it is just a standard RPG. Random battles, blerggg. Kinda reminds me of Golden Sun.
Wait wat is this, job class Ninja? It even has a oni mask?! OMG this is the best game ever!!
Okay I spoke too soon, once you get the hang of the battle system it is pretty fun! But how the fuck do you use magic?
Some weird stuff though. You move with the circle pad, but once in battle you choose your commands with the dpad! Also hate the fact then when I poisoned or blinded, the status does not go away, even if I win the battle. So I have a boss fight and all my members are blind and there cannot hit her. I cannot heal it either, because I do not have the required items.
Another thing, this game relies on streetpass. So combined with the above points, I have to conclude, that I will pass on this game. Still a cool ninja though!
Aeterno Blade
A action game with a time rewiding gimmick. The highpoint was staring at some anime style boobs. Meh!
You aussies you guys get some Blurays that we Euros dont but you are Region B too?
Do you know of any online retailers for movies/games that will export and take paypal?
Last Day of the Steam Sale:
Steam haul
I bought:
Gifted:
The Swapper
So no Vita.
I already beat up myself over it, time to look at the positive. Nearly all my games were digital so i didnt lose those. My saves are on a cloud as well. I just need to buy the system and memory card and I am back to where I was before.
Ouch. Mucho dick sucko. Like you said, at least there's a silver lining. Sorta.
I can at least give you some feedback on Mutant Mudds. There isn't a heck of a lot more depth to the game. There are some power-ups you can buy that let you jump higher, shoot further, etc. However you can only use one at a time. That's as much strategy and depth as the game offers. It does get extremely difficult though. Lots of old school precise jumps and that mess. So it's a hard, but real well designed game. And after you beat... it gets fucking harder when you get the Grandma's Attic levels. I enjoyed it overall. If it's on sale (and it goes on sale fairly often) I'd recommend grabbing it if it interests you.
That sucks. It's not a cheap piece of kit, though I guess it's a lot cheaper than when it was launched so it shouldn't be too painful to replace. And it's really good that you haven't lost your games nor your saves.

I got an ending in papers please and I dont know why. I went to jail, for what?
EDIT: Oh now I know, that was stupid, i didnt check the money correctly.
That does suck, vader.
Yeah that sucks, sorry to hear that.So Rockstar dishes out a slap in the face...
Not only did they not make a PS4 version of GTA 5, BUT.....GTA 5 is also completely UNPLAYABLE with a PS4 controller on the PS3!!!
This is the 1st game I have tried that did not work at all....even fucking GTA 4 works! Assholes. So I have to play it on the shitty dual shock 3.
GTA 5 will be announced for PS4 sometime this month, Edge.
I blame Sony for the DS4 PS3 controller issues. Make it work, Sony!
You say that, because you have years of programming and engineering experience, right?!
That sucks.
Nintendo has 36 months to produce something Eternal Darkness-related to retain the trademark
Not sure what to make of the "Castlevania is done with Nintendo" article.
I thought the GBA and DS trilogies were all really good games (some of them great even). I'm sorry to hear they didn't sell well, I thought they'd done reasonably well (otherwise why release six of them?).
I was even more sorry to hear that Lords of Shadow was the best selling Castlevania game ever. That game is an abomination. I didn't even consider the 3DS game because it had Lords of Shadow in its title so it must have somehow been related to that abomination.
So ... while I am sad that there won't be any Metroidvanias on 3DS, if Lords of Shadow is what Castlevania is nowdays ... good riddance to bad shit.
