Gaming Gauge writes: "The Musou/Warriors franchise tends to get a bad rap in the west, they’re derided as button mashers. Despite this the games are well received in Japan and maintain a steady, dedicated fanbase worldwide. Despite the low review scores being a bit offputting I decided to take chance on Chronicles. This was my first Musou game so I was really interested in how the gameplay worked and why there’s such divided opinions."
Siliconera: In the west, Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion is the first third-party Nintendo 3DS title that will be available both at retail and on the Nintendo eShop. In Japan, that honour goes to AKB48+Me and Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd.
Great news for those of you who just got a shiny new 3DSXL and are looking to expand your 3DS library. Several 3DS games have gotten price reductions/clearanced out at Best Buy and for those of you who can get to your local store to search for the titles this evening you can still take advantage of the B2G1 sales on all 3DS games. These games were all marked at a local store, did not appear to be a manager special and required no override at the register when purchasing them. That said, as is often the case for price drops like these, prices may vary depending based on different stores. These prices will likely be IN STORE ONLY.
SBG: "Looking for a good game for yourself or someone else this holiday season? We’ve got you covered. Things slowed down for the DS this year and started off sluggish for the 3DS, but there are still some gems in this year’s lineup."
