Rage of the Gladiator Battles Onto the 3DS eShop on 19th September

Heh, must want.

Please give us Spartan, Total Warrior ( Best ever game on the Gamecube!) That game totally rocked!

Has anybody played this on Wiiware? It looks somewhat interesting, but it doesn't have me convinced.

The sound effects sound kind of lame and like stock sounds. Also, the game reminds me of the combat from Skyrim--that's neither a good thing or a bad thing to me, just something I thought I'd point out.

So, it's medieval Punchout?

I have mixed feelings on the WiiWare game actually. The enemies were fun, but there was an annoying, disconnected feeling when it came blocking and striking. There was also this disjointed three stooges type feeling when using your weapon. Especially with motionplus. Combat feels more like slaping monsters around than having a truly viceral connection.

I liked that you could use magic though, and the opponents were all fun to look at.

@SMBSS
Basically except with not as fun due to the aforementioned disconnect when it comes to controls.

I might get this. The Backgrounds and the monsters look superb. The game even looks smooth without a hitch. Looks nice

I have it. The game is basically a Punch Out clone, but you jump instead of ducking. You can buy spells that you can use as power ups to damage foes. There was a wiiware demo, IDK if they still have it.

There are around ten fighters, and similar to Punch Out!! for Wii there is a second mode where they are harder and have new tricks. There is a lot of voice acting and some basic cutscenes to tell the story, which was amazing for a Wiiware game.

For 7 bucks you could do much worse. But it does not sound like there is enough new content to justify me double dipping.

I'd get it if I didn't already own it for Wii. I'm torn because I didn't play it much and I know I'd do it a lot more on the 3DS but 17€ for this game is just too much

@sinalefa Ah, thanks for responding! I have Punch Out for the Wii (and the original for VC) and like it alright, but I'm not a huge fan of the way the gameplay works so I doubt I'll get this.

@FiveDigitLP

It's sure to be a different version, but there is a WiiWare demo, for NA, anyway.

Soo excited! Isn't this version cheaper than the original?

For some reason this never got enough play time on my Wii. I play my 3ds 10 times more so I'm really strongly considering picking this up. Its a fun enough game and only 6.99 is pretty much sold to me! I thought it would cost more tbh. Can't wait to see what this looks like on my 3ds. Would also serve them some good to have a demo!

Just found my first Shin Emblem credit purchase

We all loved this on the Wii!
And now, of course, it's almost on the eShop...
WHY MUST THEY HAVE DONE THIS? THE DSI IS LEFT FOR DEAD!

The addition of an ingame shop is enough for me to buy it again.

Sweeeeeet. Ill be adding that to my library.

Can someone put Hero of Sparta on eShop? Please

@DarkCoolEdge

The game is priced at €6.99 not €17, and I think that's not too bad for the price, is it?

@uximal If you read my comment again you should notice that I say that I have the Wii edition, which cost 10€. If you add the seven euros of this one you get the 17€ I talked about.

You should read more carefully.

Although it looks good, it would be epic to have a game like chivalry medieval warfare on the eshop.

The graphics aren't as silly as in the original version of this game, which I think is a shame, as both the designs and the animation were hilarious.

It still looks fun in its iOS garbs, though, and the great simple game structure is sure to keep people of all ages smiling.

I love the WiiWare version of this game. However, these extra features (and the loss of the fun motion controls) don't excite me enough to double dip.

I'm skipping this one either - already have the WiiWare original and don't see any reason to buy it again. This was meant to be played with motion controls, not buttons, so the appeal of the game is lost in translation for me.

I have the WiiWare version and it's pretty fun. I just downloaded RotG for free on my Android phone too...so not sure I will spend money on another version of this game. It's fun, but I don't need that many copies of it.

EDIT: After having played this a bit on my phone, I'm really enjoying the slick new polish that Gamelion gave this re-release. I might end up getting it for 3DS after all. (It's 3 bucks cheaper than what the original WiiWare version cost).
