games worth buying from the eShop?

hi 

i just got 50$ pre paid card for the eShop and was thinking to get some games.. mostly waiting for the zelda games

in the meantime thinking to get a few more worthy ones. never really tried any game from nintendo eshop so how well r they ported? 

r the mario games worth buying? what about metroid 2?

give me some opinions please since there is no demos to try them on

harvest moon a new life :)

The Legend of Zelda oracle of ages/seasons is coming this month I heard. There is also Ocarina of Time but it will cost you a lot...about $40.

About Metroid, i suggest if you haven't played it before, it is good. If you've played it, I would say skip.

I own Pushmo which is great if you like puzzles. I've heard good things about Crashmo as well. 

Level 5 did us proud recently with some great downloadable titles. Liberation Maiden and Crimson Shroud are both well worth the price of admission.

Go to the eShop (assuming you're in NA), hit the down button so you're on the second row, and all the way to the right is the "Demos" category. In here, you'll find a demo for HarmoKnight, DENPA MEN, and some other downloadable titles, and demos of retail games. I suggest you check out HarmoKnight and DENPA MEN. If you enjoyed the latter, the supposedly much better sequel to it is arriving on May 30th, same day as the Oracle games, so it's better to wait for that if you liked the first's demo. You should also get Link's Awakening for GBC, another classic Zelda.

Otherwise try Pushmo for a great puzzle game, Mutant Mudds for a great platformer. Crimson Shroud for a very Dungeons & Dragons-like RPG (on sale for $5 until May 30th!). Avoid Super Mario Land 1. It's just... not great in any significant way. Mario Land 2 will make you feel much less ripped off, but is still very short. If you want fun and longevity, I'd go for Donkey Kong '94 for GB. There's also the original Legend of Zelda for NES if you've never played it. Metroid 2 is a unique entry in the franchise, and in some ways doesn't feel like any Metroid before or since. I'd go read a review on it.

I think I've covered all your queries. :)

thx guys for the responses :)

i know that some games have demos but i meant the virtual console games which i dont think they do. i might get the mario games and Metroid 2 and Zelda LTTP (have to finish it before the new one comes out) also thinking about Wario Land. Thanks for the help.

If you like puzzle games, Picross E2 is really fun, so is Pullblox (also called Pushmo)

Etrian Odyssey 4 is on sale for $30 right now.

Link's Awakening DX is pure excellence. Shantae: Risky's Revenge is also really good.

Mario and Donkey Kong Minis on the Move is a great puzzle game for $10

Avoid Starship Damrey..too short...for $10.40AUD :P

Games that I have from the 3DS eShop that I recommend are

Mighty Flip Champs!
Artstyle Pictobits
Pushmo
Crashmo
Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword
Fire Emblem Awakening
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
3D Classics Kid Icarus
Metroid II Return of Samus
Kirby's Dream Land
Four Swords Anniversay Edition (I don't know if it is still available)
