I'll be honest, I'm kind of upset with what Nicalis did.
First off, I bought the DSi version for $10, and that was good fun. (Actually bought it twice because I traded in my DSi for a 3DS) Then, I got Cave Story 3D, which I did like, but spent $40 for a pretty much inferior version. And NOW this version comes out. I've already spent $60 on Cave Story, why can't this be a free DSi update? Or least cheaper for people who have that version?
Just bought the game, and I'm instantly hooked. Yes, it may look generic and there's no 3D, but the platforming is spot-on and incredibly fun. Imagine Megaman mixed with Chronos Twins and a Halo setting.
Well Nintendo tried this a long time ago with BS Zelda on the Satellaview (A broadcasted Zelda game through the Super Famicom), and it worked very well.
The way it worked is that the player would have 2 hours (The time you could play a day, there was a set broadcasting time) to complete the goals for that day. There for 4 episodes, with about 8 hours of gameplay, and it's a cult favorite among fans.
I don't see why people think $15 is a crazy price, lol. Actually buying the Pokedex book is $20, so you're actually getting a discount. Not to mention this has awesome AR features.
I don't blame them, personally. On WiiWare, developers don't get paid A CENT until it's downloaded 6,000 times, and seeing that WiiWare is basically dying...
Either way, it's still coming out on PC. I'll still support them.
@xxbrothawizxx LOL, I think you're forgetting Gameloft tried the same thing for 3DS in Asphalt 3D. It was literally a watered-down port of a $5 game, and that sold for, what, $40?
This game on the other hand is getting an awesome overhaul. The core gameplay was a lot of fun, and Renegade Kid hasn't failed me yet
@Geonjaha It doesn't matter about opinions, there's enough fans out there that it'd sell really well, versus the Earthbound release from 1995 It's a good move financially.
This just makes me angry. I dished out $10 last week for the DSiWare version that I had to rebuy, since my old DS stopped working. Then in January, I dished out $40 for the 3D version, which I guess is now an inferior port.

Pokedex 3D Pro's actually a good deal. The book at stores can go for $15-20, so an interactive one on my 3DS is way better for the same price.

Neat idea, but:
-There was a $20 fee.
-The form was extremely intricate and took tons of time.
-You had to be 18.
-You had to be a fan of Renegade Kid.
I knew this wouldn't work from the beginning. Sad, because it seems like a neat alternative to Kickstarters.
