So, I still have part of a eShop gift card I got for Xmas burning a hole in my pocket, but I want to be careful with my last couple decisions. I have enough left for around 1-3 games depending which ones they are.

Under consideration:
Shantae- Risky's Revenge
Kirby's Dream Land (I loved this game, but I have already played it tons. I still have the GB cartridge.)
Tetris Party
Freakyforms
Battle of the Elements (puzzler, seems like a fun style)
Elemental Masters
Dairojo! Samurai Defenders
Defense of the Middle Kingdom
Zenonia
Crystal Monsters (Pokemon clone?)
Starship Defense
Break Tactics
Annonymous Notes ch 1
Airport Mania- First Flight
Dragon Quest Wars
Inchworm Animation


I've been looking up reviews on them, but wanted to see if anyone here had recommendations.
I don't know that I really want to get an RPG from the eShop, since there are a lot of good cartridge ones and I still have several ones for DS sitting waiting to be played. So I think I'd like to get something more unique to the eShop. I like puzzlers and tower defense. Some of the other top games don't interest me, like Pushmo and Mighty Switch Force, just because its not my style of gameplay. Though some games that are in a fun genre seem like cheap clones of a regular cartridge game, that I should just get the better more expensive game if I want to have the most fun for my time playing.
I think I would really like one of those games to be tower defense...

I already have-
Plants vs Zombies (really great)
Animal Crossing calculator (yeah I'm a dork, but its useful!)
Ancient Tribe
Zoo Frenzy
Castle Conqueror
3 Heroes Crystal Souls

And several of those were rather disappointing sweatdrop

After reading more reviews, I've pared down the list a little:

Under consideration:
Kirby's Dream Land 3.99
Tetris Party Live 4.99
Freakyforms 6.99
Battle of the Elements 4.99
Elemental Masters 7.99
Dairojo! Samurai Defenders 7.99
Defense of the Middle Kingdom 4.99
Zenonia 7.99
Airport Mania- First Flight 1.99

The ones I deleted either were meh, or were good but just don't appeal to me right now. Hmm how to get the most out of my money.

You can also consider Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword. I haven't got it yet, but it does have my interest. Also the combat reminds me of Kid Icarus: Uprising. I was looking at the two videos and saw Pit evading the attack just like the character in Sakura Samurai.

I can already tell you that Zenonia would be a terrible choice. The eShop makes it look like a good action RPG, but it's really pretty bad. I have a few reviews for eShop games over here. I've been meaning to update it, but it just keeps slipping my mind. (Anyone can post reviews, so if you want too, go ahead.)

Thanks for the warning! I won't be getting that one then!

I ended up getting Defense of the Middle Kingdom, which is ok but not fantastic so far. I keep looking at Battle of the Elements.

I finally picked up Battle of the Elements, Airport Mania: First Flight, and impulse bought Save the Sea Turtles based on a good review sweatdrop I will post reviews on those once I play them some more.
