@Savino I agree 100%! I recently bought a Vita and have been blown away by the better account management and great games. I am tired of the same old Mario show and dance every year. Nintendo is not going to last long if they keep this up. They still didn't announce a fix for the online accounts. Sheesh

I have both the 3DS and Vita version of Rayman Origins and the Vita version was freaking beautiful. I cannot wait for this to happen. I am glad it is coming to more consoles, since this gives more gamers the opportunity to enjoy it. Who knows, maybe the Vita version had strong enough sales to warrant this anyhow.

The games are great but the eshop account handling gives it a fat "F"! I refuse to download anything that I cannot recover and Nintendo acts like they have no interest in fixing it. I have a Vita that allows me to redownload stuff I have bought and even back it up to my PC because they use an account system. Until they fix this there is no way the 3DS can be considered the best!

I like the 3D but honestly I would give it up for a higher resolution screen and more power. I have both a 3DS and Vita and I do love the 3DS, but the Vita screen is beautiful and the games are top notch due to the power it has. I just wish Nintendo would finally get a handheld that is not underpowered. I play old games all the time and graphics aren't the most important but games that look great are a plus for sure.

Some married references may not be an issue but you will never satisfy all of the views out there and will no doubt create a debate. Again, I came here to learn about new games, not be hassled about my views. I won't bother posting anything again to avoid this mess. Totally my fault as I knew better than to respond.

Sexual context and sexual preferences have no place in games. I don't agree with the Gay lifestyle but I also don't persecute those who practice it. My problem is getting everyone's sexual presence shoved in my face. That should be your own personal business. I don't want or need to know that someone is gay. In this generation it has become something you wear on you like a badge. It is just sad and stupid.

I won't buy any eshop games as well until this is fixed. I have a Psvita and it allows you to back up all your bought games on your PC as well as redownload them if you want. I can even move things through my wifi. I love Nintendo but if they don't fix this then I will continue to give Sony my money because they are doing it right.

@dragon_rider Their backwards compatibility will be the ability to steam PS3, maybe PS2 games, and even be able to play them on a Psvita (which I own). That is awesome because I know that Sony will get all the third party support out there. Gamecube was no different. No one supported it because of the stupid idea to make the games on those tiny discs, and Sony won that battle too. I love Nintendo but I agree that their direction is wrong. They are not making money off of the WiiU and they probably never will. The 3DS has good games, but the 3DSXL should have improved the resolution and made for a better experience, but yet again, Nintendo doesn't know how to upgrade their own devices and the 3DSXL just stretches the images. I have run out of patience and am moving on. I will still play some games on the 3DS, but lately my kids play it more than I do. They need to move in the direction of Sega and make their games for everyone else. Iwata is keeping the company from being successful at this point.

@Realgamer4life I am sorry to say that if the upcoming Ps4 games streaming to the Vita is a reality then there is no way Nintendo can match that.

Great news....but why have they not addressed the problem with all of your digital purchases being tied to a physical machine! I refuse to buy a WiiU until this is fixed. I lost $100 worth of VC games on a broken 3DS. They won't get that from me again.

This could also mean that the series will go beyond Nintendo, and into the mobile market as well. The official pokedex is already on the App Store, and selling well. Don't be surprised if the next release is on multiple platforms.

I won't be buying anything digital from Nintendo until they fix their digital strategy. My 3DS broke, but I kept my SD card which had about $50 worth of VC games. I have no way to restore them by what Nintendo says. I have since bought an Ipad, and I am not sure if I want another 3DS because of this. Basically Nintendo screwed me out of $50 worth of games. I am not happy!

I used to get excited about eshop games, until my 3DS broke. Now, because of Nintendo's stupid digital rules, I cannot get my games back. I had about $40 worth of games downloaded. I was able to save my SD card, but according to Nintendo that is just too bad. All my games were tied to that system. Stupid! I have now transferred my mobile gaming to Apple so i won't lose digital purchases again. I also won't be buying a WiIU due to the same process being used. Nintendo just lost a long time fan.

Just downloaded this game, and it is very fun. I also found a great walkthrough site. http://lparchive.org/Sword-of-Hope-II/. Enjoy!

@dark-insanity I agree. What is up with Europe getting all of the games and NA getting nothing!

@TwilightPoint How did you get so many? I am in the US and they are not sold anywhere. The only cards I have received have been through promotions. I have about 20 right now, but no hope of getting any more unless they start selling them.

I think Nintendo has great games coming out this year and next year. This is only the beginning. I don't know if anyone noticed that the Vita has very few good games either. Most of which are already out on the PS3 or XBOX. Most people won't buy a second copy of these games just to play them on the go. And I really wish the investors would give up on the mobile phone market. Those games suck and so do the devices. Touch screen controls on those games stink. I know from experience. I traded my DS for an IPOD touch....wrong move. I am now getting a 3DS and I won't make that mistake again.

Can't wait. I liked the first one but it had a lot to be desired. This one looks to correct any mistakes the first one had with much more monsters.

Holy Crap! I couldn't even tell that was Superman 64 until Soul Silver IV made that comment. I have to agree. Sprites rule and polygons just plain suck.
