I feel like Nintendo has drifted away from this sort of behavior dramatically. I still see copies of Mario Kart DS and Super Mario Galaxy drifting around with $40 price tags, while I see copies of Halo 3 for $5. Nintendo either just doesn't understand this generation's approach to games and the people who buy them, or doesn't want to. If I want a Nintendo game. I'm paying the price they tell me to. If Nintendo goes at this in a different way now than they have in the last 25 years, I'll be surprised.
If it is played using infared, could you detach the Circle Pad Pro and do a dual player thing where one player controlled their character with that while the other used the actual DS?
It is get harder to buy Wii Points with the decline of good games on the service. I probably only get 1000 points every few months so I probably will only get this if it is on the XBLA, which I more regularly get points for.
The next two (and likely final) purchases will be Rival Turf and FFVI.
The Shining Force games are some of my favorite games of all time and really got me in to all sorts of RPGs and Strategy titles. I would buy at least 2 copies if these games were released on the 3DS.
Uhh.... If Shining Force comes out on the 3DS... it will be insta-buy. Shining Force is my favorite video game on the Genesis and I've heard great things about the Game Gear ones.
