I am trying to decide if I should get any of these three games or wait for something better on the eshop?

Thanks

Mutant Mudd bro. I've read nothing but good things about it from just about everywhere, even as far as to say its the best 2D platformer in the last 10 years. Day one for me.

I also read there is a lot of replay value as well... Definitely going to be a day one for me though. Do you have Mighty Switch Force, also an awesome eShop title.

Pushmo and The Rolling Western are good alternatives.

The last thing Cave Story is is short. It provides right about 5-8 hours of gameplay depending on how good you are. Mutant Mudds is definitely worth checking out as well.

Samurai Destiny isn't a great game just passable and if you really want a samurai game then wait for Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword that will be next month if not then get Mutant Mudd's or pushmo

Cave Story is awesome, but you'd probably be better off getting the 2D version from the eshop.

I was going to get that "Devil Survivor Overclocked" game, it looked like a good JRPG. Then two things became clear, the bulk of the game isn't in 3D at all, (mostly on the bottom screen) and it's actually a grid based SRPG, just about my least favorite kind of game ever. I'll probably just nab Zelda or StarFox along with Resident Evil in early February. Till then, playing the special levels in Mario 3D Land.

8 hours isn't short for a platformer. They're usually a good genre for re-playability. I had Super Mario 3D Land beat in 11 hours with Mario, and that's one of the larger Mario games in the series in terms of content. I got 8 1/2 hours out of Cave Story 3D, but it has 3 different endings and my ending didn't seem to be the most desirable outcome. Compare that to the classic Sonic games. I can beat both Sonic 1 & 2, together, in about 2 hours. 8 hours for a 3DSWare title is not half bad.

I was referring to Sakurai Samurai actually in the OP.

So it looks Cave Story or Mutant Mudd. Maybe I should wait and see how the reviews for Mutant Mudd are?

I was deciding between Mutant Mudds and Cave Story yesterday, I picked Cave Story. The games wont disappear off of the eShop anyway, so you can always go back and get Mutant Mudds and Samurai Destiny later on. I imagine that both Mutant Mudds and Cave Story will be roughly 6-8 hours -- I don't think you should expect much in terms of game time from digital download titles that are relatively cheap

My consideration factor was that I got Cave Story on the PC for FREE.
