I don't think the price of the Wii U is bad, really. Like Banker-Style just said, with no games it doesn't seem like a value. When SSBB, Mario 3D World, and other AAA titles come out, it will seem like a much better deal. I know in a couple years, they will start doing different bundles, and lower the price, so I will probably wait for that since I really don't have $350 to spare right now.
Wonderful review, Katy! It got me more excited for the game than I already was (which was a lot). So glad this is pre-ordered and paid off...now Sunday needs to hurry up and get here so I can start cleaning up the city!
I love the art style in Lost World (that screenshot is gorgeous), so I just hope Lost World on the 3DS isn't drastically different from thee console version.
It's funny, I was just thinking about how I want to play the original Sonic over again for about the millionth time. Was going to download the new updated version on my iphone, but maybe I will hold off and wait for this release.
Even though I played (and completed) the Wii version, I see myself buying this a few months down the road. The fact that it is so close to the Wii version is very impressive.
Cool to see the Oracle games being released. Not going to buy them right away, but I will have it on my "to-do list". Since I am just getting a 3DS, I have a lot of catching up to do! I had Ages back in the day, so I am not sure if I should stick with that or try Seasons instead. Anybody recommend one over the other?
This is amazing news! Can't believe how soon it is coming out. I think I am gonna play some Zelda (NES) and Links Awakening DX to gear up for the release. I can't believe they are making it free, also, because I know EVERYBODY would pay for that gem.
500 points seems pretty steep for Cut The Rope. It's a fun game, sure. I just think its weird how high these DSi/WiiWare ports are compared to their iPhone counterparts.
I think after Christmas when Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart are out, and other big titles are in the pipeline, we will really see the 3DS take flight. This is a great start, and I am so happy, because it's a great handheld. Give it time, the 3DS is still an infant in gaming terms.
Great round table! I usually skip these features, but I love Star Fox, and really enjoyed the banter, so I will be sure to start reading them from now on Friday can't come soon enough to replay one of my favorite N64 titles!
If I get this at all (Sonic has burned me so many times, that I am a little gun-shy haha), it will be the 360 version. The demo was pretty decent. I'll admit, I bet the 3D will look fantastic on this version, though!
Yeah, Pac-Man doesn't seem to exciting (esp when you can get a great game like Gargoyles Quest for the same price). Downloaded the 10 games yesterday, early...and REALLY happy with them. Just so weird playing those games on such a small screen!
While I too am bummed that there is no online multiplayer, it doesn't change the fact that it is one of my favorite N64 games, and I will be picking this up during the first week, im sure.
While Zero Suit Samus will always be sexy, I would much rather own the Power Suit statue. I agree with Ren, it has nothing to do with her being a bounty hunter.
For nostalgia, I am picking this up. Most likely not going to pre-order though, I try to not deal with Gamestop if I don't have to. I will make sure to pick it up the first week though, just in case it's tough to find.
Happy birthday to my favorite system of all time. The SNES represents a time in my life, and anytime I play a SNES game, I just get taken back to when I was a kid and can just have fun.
I am pretty sure I am picking this up. Not a lot of DS games with my 3DS, so I would love to add this to my library. The concept seems interesting enough.
Bummer. I may pick up the 360 version of De Blob 2 because I enjoyed the original quite a bit and it's cheap. Want to pick it up before its hard to find.
I can't wait for this. When I saw the 3D screenshots way back when, I wasn't very interested, but the change to a 2D sidescroller was the perfect idea. The art looks beautiful and it seems like it will be pretty fun.
@BMS16: I would say the 3DS VC is your best bet. I owned both the Club Nintendo compilations and each only had 2 original G&W games...it was very lacking in content. For $3 on the 3DS VC you get, essentially 8 great games. That's a lot of bang for your buck.
Happy Birthday, Samus! I really hope Metroid is one of the NES VC games that we, the 3DS Ambassadors get. Super Metroid is still my favorite in the series, though.
This actually sounds pretty appealing. The last pinball game I owned was Pokemon Pinball on the Game Boy Color, I believe. So I would love to play some Marvel Pinball on my 3DS.
I could really care less about this news. It kind of stinks, but yeah I have been a Netflix member for a long time, and I use it a lot, so I am happy with 2D.
