Topic: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate release date announced

Have no idea what to do now! Really want to play this tonight, its just 2 hours til midnight where I am and I could download it......but if its over 11000 blocks there's no way i'll have space unless I delete a whole load of stuff, and I have no idea if the 24 hour supermarket near where I live is gonna be stocking it tonight so I can just go down and grab it. :/....I may have to wait til morning, I like my boxed games, I've built up quite a collection of 3DS games and wouldn't want to miss out on getting this game physically due to my own impatience. Still, my time off work is coming to an end, and I could really do with having it to play tonight....ah what a dilemma!

@MofieWilson Let me help your decision. The dl took me an hour and 25 mins. Do you want to wait that long. If you have demos you could delete you might have the space then.

Hmm, good point on the wait, I could wait til 1.30 am if i had to though, I'm usually up until much later when I don't have work - I've just been on the phone to both my local 24 hr supermakets and both times got cut off when I tried to get through to the music game and video depts, so I guess I'm not going to get an answer that way. At least if I start downloading it at midnight I know I'll get it tonight. Thanks for the advice, Tech101 I'm gonna look into my data management and maybe delete a few demos and vids

Personally. I love this game

This game is starting to grow on me. I just got to the 2nd act and now I'm really looking forward to the rest of the game. Glad you're enjoying the game LTG.

The circle pad works great for this game, i'm really enjoying this game, maybe just as much as Symphony of the night..............maybe?

My copy is currently downloading,,,,,I can't wait This is my first digital purchase of a retail 3DS game, So I intend to make the most of it and pull an all - nighter! I loved the Demo, played it through a good few times to get to grips with the controls

Well I hope you enjoy it! This was like my 5th retail download. It might be time for you to upgrade to a 32 gig. I have over 180000 blocks left.

@Rory: Thanks. Yeah nice little game. preordered around friday or saturday. Thinking about possibly giving the preorder case cover to my nephew. It's just a clear case with a sticker.

I've heard that 32 gig is the biggest the 3ds can use. That the same for the xl?
If I get one I'd like to transfer the info from my 4gig to that.

Yeah in the hd sd format. You can go much higher with a different format of memery card but I can't remember what it is. All I remember is it ends with an x.

@Tech: Thanks.

I like the little things on this game too. Like Simon's reaction to the crystal he finds.

Sigh

I have a limited game budget. I don't know where I'm going to fit this in. I replayed the demo and loved it, though.

So many good games coming out that I can't keep up with them all!

Tell me about it. Just look at my signature. That doesn't even leave any room for at least 5-7 eshop title's I want in the next few months.

I know what you two mean. Not only do I have to worry about the 3DS but there is also a ton of Xbox games I want like Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite to name a few. Thankfully I have a sub to GameFly so I can rent some of them.

Bioshock Infinite looks absolutely amazing. I might have to crack and buy it full price from Steam...

Bad news. First estimates about its first week sales in the US area little bit less than half of what Order of Ecclesia acomplished and a bit more than half of Lords of Shadow for either 360 or ps3.

3ds' software sales beyond Mario aren't impressive at all, even Mario has mediocre sales in the form of Mario Tennis.

Yeah but does that include downloads as me and 2 others I know dl'ed the game!

No, it does not include downloads but those probably are a fourth of the retail sales.

I'll be surprised if its that much but in our day and age retail is going to look like sales are slipping more and more every day. I download most of my stuff now and that's a great deal more profit for said company.

I liked the demo. Wished the framerate was better however. Im not surprised the game doesnt do well sadly. Its a bit the same story for a lot of titles. But to sell a game 45€... the game have to be really good or perfect. Today people get some little games for 2€ on their phones, some of them look even better than games on the 3ds. Not saying they are better, but there must be something in the middle maybe? A 3ds game cost that much to produce? If its the case despite Nintendo themselves the market must be very dangerous.
