Awesome news. £20? Surely a steal.
not for me. i guess there will be heroes of ruin and then nothing for a very long time on the 3ds.. there is a kingdom hearts title announced which i also preordered but besides these two titles there is zero that even remotely interests me. if nano assault was released in europe this one i would have gotten, too. but no.. us only.. sheesh. i have already given up on the eshop completely because there is only abandonware and obscure stuff no one really needs. if this is a sign for the upcoming wii u then i have very mixed feelings about the console :/
Need a revw, though would've prefered a 3DSware version.
In an interview they were talking about how 3DS games should be cheaper and reflect good value, which made me think 'why aren't you releasing this on eShop then?
cool. retro styled original c64 graphics in one of the screenshots.
this needs to be priced below the standard RRP. otherwise, it would've been better off as a downloadable game on the eshop.
@misswliu81 One might even call it a 'budget' release!
I'm interested. I still haven't beaten the original on VC.
I want you to look at that cover for 10 seconds, then look me in the eyes and say that this won't be shovelware.
That's right, you can't. (Partially because we're on the internet and you physically cannot look me in the eyes, but whatever.)
This looks like it should be an eshop game.

Agreed. But I guess if it's a downloadable game on Xbox 360 and PSN, it's going to be a full retail game for a less-powerful handheld. After all, it's most likely going to have new features, graphics and gameplay styles the console versions doesn't even begin to have.
@Myx
heroes fo ruin all the way !!!!!
but square also had another rpg we saw in the nintendo press conference. The Labyrinth thing looked quite promising too.
but with kid icarus and heroes of ruins, oure up for a load of gaming time on your 3ds .
oh ya...boulder dash ? a retail ? oh boy, i dont know what to say.
Tomatoboxer - I have it on PC, it's not shovelware
