@Voodoo someone gave me smash 3ds demo code so I figured what the heck. hand em out.

@Voodoo someone must be shadowing my account then and snatching them before people can see them. I will email you my last one, this is the one that was personally assigned to me by Nintendo so i'm not sure if you can use it. I also send you all 3 of the codes I gave out just incase like an idiot I double posted one of them. I prefer my monster hunter on a console so i'm skipping it on the 3ds anyway.

@Voodoo im not big on giving out my email. but here you go! if you manage to get a code b4 this one then pls pass it on.

Yea theres a US code in the cooking mama 5 news post from today. No one else claimed it yet.

@schizor try the code I posted here. I don't think anyone has claimed it yet.

@12qaz2009 I dont think anyone claimed the one I posted here... not many cooking mama fans I guess. let me know if it worked.

@nanerzzz your welcome. I dont really care for monster hunter on the 3ds, hand cramps, so I was shocked I even got the codes in my email. I posted 1 elsewhere and Im waiting to hear back from miiverse friends if they want the 3rd code.

I feel good. Monster Hunter special demo for cooking mama fans.

A06WWXV52EX1J9LK enjoy!

I think a bigger problem, for me at least, is NOT knowing what games will support what amiibos. Sure Mario and Zelda will be the most utilized in games, but Villager, Pit etc all cost the same and aren't, nor will they ever be, used in as many games.

Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric is a total mess of a game and yet it is oddly charming. Reminds me of the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series in terms of technical quality, practically none, and in its characterization and plot, which can be very funny at times.

low polygon graphics rely heavily on art direction and sadly this game is lacking in that department. If the gameplay is as generic as the graphics... I'll pass.

The demo blew me away. I don't know if my senses can take the full game but I'll definitely be picking this up!

The need for not hitting the T rating is due to the 3ds. They couldn't market the game for "everyone" and would be limiting the massive 3ds audience. Remember, violence is ok but sex is a nono. You can beat a dog and a duck with a giant club but no butt cheeks. You can blow up a Princess in a house built by raccoons but a thong is out of the question!

@Marr_the_Great I feel you. The A button is far too close to the edge of the system to be anything but JUMP on a 3ds.

whenever it gets out for the rest of the world GET IT. GREAT GAME!

Anyone else hear the song "Boom get out the way" as they read this?

Way better then its sequel. Though I more than likely remember it being better then it probably is.

@AVahne storage bins. For like $5 you get this big bin with a convenient lid that opens and closes and it can safely store all sorts of useful things. Holiday decorations, old sweaters, guest linen, and even video games and consoles.

@AVahne well they can try ebay. amazon. craigslist. etc... also there are numerous momnpop used game stores across the country that would love the business. Just because I can't afford to go to the movies doesn't excuse one for hitting up free downloads.I actually bought that dusty old nes on amazon and like 20 games for way under 100$.

When I want to emulate my childhood, I do it the old fashioned way. Dust off an NES and blow into a cartridge.

@Kasplat using just the wiimote allowed you to smash with the dpad. I think most of us were hoping for dpad support when it came to the 3ds. Smash is best suited on a gamecube controller so the wii u version won't be an issue IMO. Nintendo hasn't done analogue sticks justice since the purple lunchbox...

From what I've seen of the game on youtube you cannot customize controls to the point of swapping out circlepad for dpad movement. You can switch the shield, grab, special, attack, and 2 jump functions between eachother. That always irked me about Brawl when using the classic or classic pro.

edit: Playing the demo I have had the misfortune of the circlepad giving a slight upward lift when going for a right or left smash and doing either a tap jump or upsmash instead. I've become more careful but those rare moments are bothersome. Also at times if I try to guide the circlepad back to neutral or don't lift my thumb after inputting a smash I've found myself turning around which is also irksome.

ugh. My only issue is having to wait for the new3ds to come out! TAKE MY MONEY NOW!

So Conquest mode is like a Smash poll? Meaning the more people that win with Mario, the higher Mario's standing and the greater the rewards for people using Mario? Confused :/

The game was going to be spoiled for the West regardless. 3 week difference in release will do that. Anybody who managed to avoid spoilers up till now deserves a cookie. The game was also spoiled on a daily basis with Sakurai's own posts. But for me, the hype isn't in who was included in the roster, the hype is in the hands on experience. Wishing I could cryogenically self till October 3rd!

I just woke up to the glorious return of jigglypuff!

@Ryu_Niiyama granted those that rely heavily on tier lists, which are always evolving as Jigglypuff can attest to that, tend to see lower tier characters like Ness as a wash. But it really depends how you play. Ness is a beast of an ally in team matches with his neutral B. Others like Sonic are killer in 4 player matches, for me at least. What will be interesting is to see how this Smash handles individual characters since the competitive scene was a point of discussion from the get go. No other Smash game ever considered that particular play style before and any tier lists that are created within the first 6 months are bound to change for years to come.

@Kaze_Memaryu it would be the most elaborate hoax in all of gaming if it's not. but not much longer to wait with the JPN release coming up.

@Kaze_Memaryu recent demos of the game have an identical character select screen of the leaks image so the leak is real!

also one of the leaked modes was of a masterpiece esque mode but using assets from smash. we saw a pic of the day where balloon fight was recreated using the villager as an example. its rumored there will be a pacman, mario, and metroid stages recreated too.

@AltDotNerd I don't have a confirmation but there are the additional shoulder buttons so the picture is of a new3ds

@3dcaleb Yeah I saw that a little while ago today. I for one plan to day 1 a "new" 3ds so it won't upset me much. I hope we can choose regions when playing smash online as I wouldn't want to play against cstick using players because we don't get the new handheld this year.

I loved the multiplayer mode in B64! Some of the stages, like the grass field, the pyramid, the water station, were brilliant and were truly under appreciated for the time. Bomberman Hero is a disgrace which those horrendous ship stages.

@sinalefa I'm sure he'll update pics of the 3ds version to include tidbits and secrets that aren't immediately noticeable but the focus will definitely be on the wii u. also, why haven't there been trailers or pics available on the 3ds that showcase the actual 3d effect? or did I overlook them?

@edgedino I have that but my XL tends to slide off it. I've been reading up on some Grip reviews and I haven't found anything yet with glorious reviews so I'll keep searching or face the inevitable carpal tunnel lol.

@Nintenjoe64 there are several modes via leaks going around, I won't spoil, but the one thing they have in common is as @ikki5 says nintendo are waiting to release the 3ds version first before revealing them so as not to detract from the handheld. Some sound rather intriguing...

@edgedino thanks. I was wondering if I should pick a cpp up. I don't mind the lack of a "cstick" but am worried about how flat the 3ds is when holding for long periods of time. Any suggestions of grips out there? I'll do a google search later. Already took off of work that weekend and I'm trying to be prepared haha.

foolish question I know, but does this game support Circle Pad Pro? I don't remember ever hearing or seeing if it does.

@rbmoura85 I agree. Just release it already!

its like Nintendo doesn't want my $ fast enough. This should have been bundled with Smash for its release! also I know I'll be in the minority and that it wouldn't make the best business since see as this is an upgrade and not a true successor to the 3ds system but I would rather every game released after its debut to be "new" only and take advantage of its features.

If the title isn't being built from the ground up for the 3ds like the first was I don't mind it skipping the handheld altogether. Part of the charm of the 3ds title was that it IS a portable Resident Evil. If it maintains the same structure and is not just a "plot continuation" then I get the criticism. Many devs have stated the similarity in xbox and ps hardware so I'd rather just have the glorious Revelations on the 3ds than a watered down port of a sequel that wasn't planned for the system from the get go. Now if they announced Revelations 2 for the 3ds or new3ds and it retained its gloriously cheesey chapter and recaps I'd day 1 it. If not, I'll just spend my money on MH4U.

edit @caPPa agree!

@JosieC84 you can get Revelations for $9 on the eshop right which is beyond a bargain.

I wonder what went into this decision tho.
It sold the best on the 3ds.
http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=Resident+Evil%3A+Revelations

it reviewed the best on the 3ds.
http://www.metacritic.com/search/all/resident%20evil%20revelations/results

I for one loved the episodic structure of the title and the 3d effect and feel that Revelations is best suited as a portable title. Unless they overhaul the structure and do away with all of Revelation's unique features they shouldn't call it Revelations 2. Perhaps we'll see this as a "new" title someday.

@Grumblevolcano I liked Other M. The plot had bigger issues than the submissive role Samus played IMO(the deleter, Sector Zero, the Commander's son being a missed opportunity). I loved the use of 2d and 3d roaming but it needed an analogue input. The dodge and combat mechanics were fun. The music was awesome, most of the boss battles were cool (the final boss was a total let down as I beat her in under 3 seconds by aiming at the center of the screen during the cutscene). The first person perspective was poorly implemented. I just think it's sad that we live in a day and age where Smash Bros has devolved into the type of trash that would showcase Video Game's epic heroes wearing crocs.

relax everyone. Shulk's MALE designer worked really hard to finish programming this alt costume into the game in time for the deadline. said no one. because a hairless 17 year old boy in tiny shorts and clogs needs no explanation. yet, a female warrior in her mid twenties can't wear athletic gear without having to justify the programmer's sex. that is the real issue. or not. just a thought. still hate the crocs. still a day 1 purchase. go nintendo.

@IxC specifically the outfit is from the end of Zero Mission a remake of the first.

And Shulk's skimpy outfit is disgusting. Not for the shorts and skins but for the clog like crocs. Gross. jkjk

I'm without a doubt buying one. I wanted this before 3DS XL was announced. This took way to long tho and should have already bee on international shelves by summer 2014. Tho I'm very cautious about the whole only "new compatible" games aspect as I would rather every 3ds game moving forward take advantage of the improvements instead of a handful...

The map feature of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks would be divine. Especially with the ability to zoom in said map so you have a lot more writing room. I also hope we get at least one "uncharted" island where we are left to our own devices to define the landscape and points of interest. Personally sharing maps and replaying the title by relying on another gamer's map would be awesome. Perhaps a single randomly generated dungeon in the mix tied to another player's map would be interesting and a great way to use Miiverse sharing. Just a map and or inventory screen on the pad would be lackluster.
