Nah. Most big Nintendo published games hover around the $39.99 area.

A quick search on walmart.com and amazon.com found that I cold fine most games for 35 or less. A few of these had to be "used" however. I get that the thread has turned into discussing eshop games now, but the original post did not make it out to be that way.

Etrian Odyssey IV - A great entry in the Etrian Odyssey series. Great for beginners due to it's casualized gameplay. Graphics are amazing and you will most likely find yourself playing for hours a day like I did. Demo available

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Maiden - A remake of the first on IV's engine. New feature include a story mode with preset characters, floor jumping and grimoire stones. Unlike IV you just explore one big dungeon, but floor jumping will make it easier to go between floors, a bit too easy if you ask me. Grimoire stones are a basically dumbed down sub-classing system that was found in Etrian Odyssey III and IV which let you gain access of a second class' skill tree, except this time you gain can gain a certain class' and certain monster's skills depending on what grimoire a monster drops. Story is nothing breath taking, but that's not a negative. The must play version due to the original's bugged skills that wouldn't work. Also the music is the best out of the two games. Demo also on the eShop

Shin Megami Tensei IV - I'm going to be straight honest with you, people are praising this game way too much. It's a good RPG, but it has it's flaws and it's not the best in the mainline series,. Story is the weakest in the mainline series, some of the demon artwork is absolutely atrocious, battles are artificially difficult. The game is pretty easy if you know what to do (which isn't hard. protip: mainly focus on magic, the game barely even cares about any other stats and this is a major flaw), but the music and graphics are amazing. seriously listen to the music

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivors Overclocked - An enhanced port of the DS game. Story is something out of those manga and anime that 13-15 year olds like so that's a positive, a negative, or a "don't care" how you look at it. Game's pretty fun though it's a sRPG with turn-based battles, and in typical Shin Megami Tensei fare you have your demons to join you in battle and what not. Has good voice acting which is nice.

Shin Megami Tensei - Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers - a port of a Playstation / Sega Saturn game. Story's pretty good and by the best out of the 3DS titles. Gameplay is dated however and if you can stand PS1 era RPGs then you should look into this game. Unlike the other SMT games the demons here don't level up so fusion is vital, also demons don't obey your every move.

Games to avoid
Code of Princess - Repetitive garbage with an annoying cast of characters, tons of reused enemies, and a even worse story.
Project X Zone - Don't let this sRPG fool you that it might be good, it's nothing a mindless button mashing pile of dog doo doo . The only reason this game is popular is because this game is a fanservice game that came to the west. please avoid it. There's a demo out in the eShop, if you don't believe me that this game is poo play it and as soon you go into battle start mindlessly button mashing and see how much damage you can do to the enemy.

If you have a 3DS XL and never played Rayman Origins, then I reccommend buying it online, as a physical game, so you still have the option to sell your game used when you're done with it, as well as sell your Club Nintendo code included with it.

Theres something I find weird though, when I bought my copy, it was $18 brand new sealed on Amazon, and Walmart had it for $19.99 in their case. Now Amazon is saying it's $29? What happened?

Anyways I bought Origins, beat it, sold it used online for $17 and sold the club Nintendo code for $4. After the shipping charges, I ending up spending $2 to have a game in my possession for half a year. Its by far the worst version of the game, but its still more inventive and fun than New Mario Bros 2. I personally think that the only games you should be buying on the eShop are eShop exclusives. You throw away alot of your property and ownership privileges when you buy digital, and you can more than likely find physical copies, new or used, cheaper than the eShop prices.

Finally someone else says it... I was title-bashing that game for months before it released telling people how much of a waste it's going to be, but people just couldn't ignore all those cross overs. They were so convinced it was going to be one of the biggest games of the year.
