@shotgunryugan: If it's available on multiple systems, why should I not get the most complete version? All versions seem to be mostly identical when it comes to levels and graphics, but the multiplayer is supposed to be really fun. In fact, I've seen the PC version at a cheap price of €20,-. I tried the 3DS demo and loved it, but I won't pick it up until I feel like taking it on the go.
I am proud to have been one of the earlier supporters of this idea. Let's hope this becomes reality. LEGO and Zelda, the two greatest things known to mankind, put together. Tell me people: how can that not be an insanely good idea.
I think this is BS. The 'always having it with you' argument is hardly valid if you consider how small those cartridges are. You can easily keep multiple ones in your pockets.
If you like the idea of having everything printed out and look snazzy on the shelf, fine. It just seems reasonable to pay, say, 20-25% extra for it, even if it is only to compensate for the environmental strains traditional distribution brings along with it.
That's not entirely true. There's also a sequel to this Game Boy Color version that basically is a 2D recreation of The Great Escape. There was also a third one for GBA, that similarly blends in elements of Rayman 2 and Rayman 3 on the consoles.
And not a single person was surprised that day. It doesn't look like the most revolutionairy Mario title, but perhaps there's some cool stuff in there.
Thank goodness this is actually an entirely new adventure with its own story. I also like how they add some of best Pokémon from older games such as Riolu and Tyranitar. This is already looking to be better than the first two games. Let's hope they have taken the time to actually add things like a Safari Zone, vs. Seeker and something like a Battle Frontier. Those, among other cool aspects of older games, are sorely missing in the current games. I am surprised about the new Gym Leaders. I wonder if there will be eight all-new ones.
I find the circle pad on 3DS to be rather uncomfortable for prolonged playing sessions. I don't really get why they don't want to use an analog stick for a console controller.
Intereresting. It seems you can fuse Zekrom or Reshiram with Kyurem. I hope it will be a completely new game as opposed to being two 'third versions' instead of one. But why on DS?
In the case of Black and White, a third version is justified for a change. There is just so much that's missing in that game. No Safari Zone, no VS. Seeker, no Battle Frontier. And it'd be nice to see it as a special 3DS version of the game. Heck, it should have been a 3DS game from the start. If that had been the case, the 3DS would not have had such a rough launch.
I prefer seasons because it has four variations of the main overworld, as opposed to the two in Ages. On top of that, there's Subrosia, which offers a whole additional realm to explore.
I think they should make those rare DLC-only Pokémon into unlockables rather than those periodic events. Meet certain criteria and unlock them in Mystery Gift. Think of it as an achievement system. I have Mew. But that's because I still had one sitting in my HeartGold cartridge to transfer. I should be able to get it in Black as well. If you have these events, then at least keep them active without end. This makes sure you can still catch 'em all if you buy the game a year after release.
And fix the GTS, please. I'm so tired of those people that ask for an impossible level 1 Zekrom and offer a Bidoof in exchange.
