XyVoX commented on Wii U Designed to Do The Impossible:
When you say " it does full HD output for a start" so does the PS3 & 360 trouble is only a handful of games on them systems actually output true 1080p, so will the WiiU be outputting true 1080p on all games or is it going to be as is the case with the PS3 & 360 most games by far are only 720p.

This looks identical to BOOST 2 on the iphone/ipad.

XyVoX commented on Review: 3DS Circle Pad Pro:
From the beginning i COULD NOT BELIEVE Nintendo actually designed the 3DS without a second analogue stick in the first place, i mean using a second analogue stick was common place for years by then. In this new revision for the 3DS i really think it is essential that they up the screen size and battery life as BOTH are way to small.

XyVoX commented on Review: Resident Evil Revelations (3DS):
Question is what's it like to play with the Circle Pad Pro compared with the Standard controls, does it make it play better etc?
#5
XyVoX commented on Review: Resident Evil Revelations (3DS):
Sweet had this pre-ordered from Zavvi for £29 with the Circle Pad Pro included aswell, and its been dispatched cant wait. ps in my opinion LAST generation of consoles & games Resident evil 4 on the Gamecube was EASILY the best game i'd played, SHAME they cocked up and ruined Resident Evil 5 though wasn't even a Resident Evil game really.

XyVoX commented on Review: Mighty Switch Force (3DSWare):
Ahhh 200MB i was guessing its over 150mb just by the amount of time it took, WOW THANK GOD that Crappy download limit is gone from the 3DS at least, no more strangling the developers vision. Shame they never done that for the Wii or DSi it made no logical sense to me.

XyVoX commented on Review: Mighty Switch Force (3DSWare):
Just out of curiosity how big is the size of this game in MB anyone know? because its taken significantly longer to download than any other game ive tried.

XyVoX commented on Out Now: Nintendo 3DS Ambassador GBA Games:
@ 182. belmont well said mate no fanboyism here aswell as, when it aint right it aint right. The colours and screen blurring for me make it unplayable, and its nowhere near that Bad on any other format be it ds games on a 3Ds or VC games on the Wii etc this is most definitely the WORST of the lot by some margin.

XyVoX commented on Out Now: Nintendo 3DS Ambassador GBA Games:
@ 5. Bass_X0 "The graphics quality isn't as good as playing the actual cartridges. They're not as clear as playing them on the GBA SP or DS Lite"
I COMPLETELY agree these games look terrible the colours are incorrectly displayed and the screen blurring/smudging is awful.

XyVoX commented on 3DS Ambassador GBA Games Out Friday in Europe:
This selection is of a very high standard as most games were universally a 9/10 and certainly considered by many some of the ELITE titles for the GBA, i mean Mario Kart: Super Circuit had all of the SNES Mario Kart tracks within it aswell.

Cheers for that mate i would of done that but the Battery ran out so i put it on a full charge.

No i mean i cant find the option to scan the QR codes so i can get extra levels people have already created.

Can someone explain how to get the QR Codes to work as i dont see any option to take a shot in the game?

XyVoX commented on Nintendo Download: 17th November 2011 (Europe):
Ive been saying it for ages mate the prices are a JOKE for people in the UK, whereas the USA prices seem to be much more realistic, hence my reluctance to give them any of my money while these prices are excessive.

How comes that anyone with half a brain cell knew that the 3DS should of had a 2nd analogue stick to start with and Nintendo didn't 'Strange' ? and this thing looks just plain Hideous.

XyVoX commented on First Impressions: Mighty Switch Force:
Out of interest is their any download limit for 3DSWare games as their is for DSiWare & WiiWare ?

XyVoX commented on 3DS System Transfer Tool Arrives With November...:
Im hoping that they bring out a bigger screened version of the 3DS because 3.5 inch on any portable device is just to small nowadays, and then i wont lose any of my downloaded games because i'll be able to Transfer.

XyVoX commented on Feature: Remembering the Super Game Boy:
This article has got me thinking whats the easiest i can get to play Gameboy games on a big screen etc and WOW what i didn't realise until reading this article is that i already own a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player and i ALWAYS assumed that it only plays GBA games which was it only use to me but it actually plays all of the Gameboy games aswell, Can anyone answer if it acts like the Super Gameboy in that it enhances the colours of Gameboy games or does it just present the games as standard ? thx

@ TheAmazingRaccoon i had already done that with the brightness and power saving mode and the 3DS still looks much more washed out than the XL though.
#28
XyVoX commented on Zelda: Four Swords is Out Now in Europe and No...:
@ 107. Thomas ive done the same and downloaded it for both my 3DS & XL and was comparing the Graphics on both i have noticed that you get to see a bit more of the screen on the Left & Right hand sides on the XL and that the colours look slightly washed out on the 3ds whereas the XL picture looks much more vibrant and punchy.
#29
XyVoX commented on Zelda: Four Swords is Out Now in Europe and No...:
I have just been reading some reviews of the original that was released on the GBA called 'Zelda: A Link to the Past w/ the Four Swords' now am i correct in thinking that this version leaves out the 'Link To The Past' game ?

Whats the reason Nintendo are giving away The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition for FREE then?

XyVoX commented on Review: 3D Classics: TwinBee (3DSWare):
4.50 (UK) is far to expensive and a rip-off.

XyVoX commented on 3DS Second Circle Pad Formally Announced:
Any idiot from the Offset hearing about the Specs for the 3DS was asking 'WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE 2ND ANALOGUE STICK' and this had been Mandatory for playing games for many years now, the 3DS has just been one BIG cock up from beginning to launch to eshop to price etc and now this Hideous thing, thing is alot of games will probably play better with the 2nd stick so you will be kinda forced into the extra weight and size to get the most out the game, what they need to do is release a 3DS mk 2 that obviously has this already built in but also has a bigger screen and better battery life.

XyVoX commented on Review: 3D Classics: Urban Champion (3DSWare):
Well done Nintendo YOUR TRYING TO GET THE 3DS off to a flying start now after the MAJOR messup of a launch, and the LATE eshop arrival so you decide in all of your wisdom/multiple meetings to spend time and effort bringing Urban Champion to the 3DS MMmmmmmmm HOW ABOUT flooding the eshop with QUALITY that you have from your vast back catalogue INSTEAD 'that might just HELP your 3DS' HOW MANY TIMES do you need to be told the 3DS has not done well for 2 main reasons the PRICE was to high (now corrected) and a lack of quality titles.
#37
XyVoX commented on Review: 3D Pixel Racing (WiiWare):
I was playing this around a mates yesterday and i CANT believe the developer have only included TILT control method for this game is utterly bizzare it could never compare to an analogue stick for a racing game, the review is correct in that it is very twitchy and sensitive and drifts far to easy and that you can actually get to grips with it to an accomplished extent but it always feels like unecessary hard work, personally i'd still give it a 6/10 though.
#38
XyVoX commented on Talking Point: What Was the Best Super NES Gam...:
To many good games for the SNES to name 1 single BEST game for the system i reckon it would be more accurate to have the top spot shared between 10 titles:
Super Mario World + Super Mario All-Stars (on the one CART version)
Super Metroid
Super Mario RPG
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Donkey Kong Country 2
Yoshi's Island
Super Mario Kart
Super Castlevania IV
Chrono Trigger
Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
plus many others i love just outside of the 10 are Pilotwings, Equinox: Solstice II, Actraiser, F-Zero, Super Ghouls n Ghosts, Contra III, Axelay, etc

XyVoX commented on Feature: 20 Years of the Super NES:
I was 17 when i got my SNES/Super Famicom as i ordered it from Japan as i already owned a Jap Megadrive and hated the UK consoles SLOWWW running speed and smaller screen size. This and the N64 are my best machines to date.

Question for me is Metroid II: Return of Samus was much nicer when played on the Gameboy Color, are they going to include that version aswell?

HOW ON EARTH DO THESE prices equate, across the 3DS Vc & Ware services, $2.90 = £2.60 not in a million years do these prices make sense for the UK.

XyVoX commented on Nintendo Download: 11th August 2011 (Europe):
In all honesty CONSIDERING the vast back catalogue of games Nintendo has at its disposal and in my opinion have never understood why so few games are released every week digitally across their various platforms is a mystery to me, and YES Half the time the games released are pure RUBBISH, i mean COME ON Donkey Kong on the 3DS is outstanding but WHY only give people the gameboy version why not give them the SuperGameBoy version as well thats full colour etc, many things just dont make sense.

XyVoX commented on UK Retail Pegs 3DS for New £140 Price Point:
Well i had a result today at my local Game store, i went and bought a 3DS preowned for £129 (in time to get these Ambassador games) and also a copy of Zelda OOT so i walked out of the store and got home looked in the bag and noticed that there were 2 copies of Zelda OOT, Result i thought

XyVoX commented on Fils-Aime: "3DS Didn't Launch Prematurely":
Well as far as reasons for the 3DS not selling well for me and some friends was the reason that we prefer the XL to a 3DS because of the screen quality, we dont like the way the 3DS's screen when switched into 3D goes Dim / murky and loses brightness a common side effect/trait of most 3D TV's/Projectors. SURELY other people have noticed this?

XyVoX commented on Regional eShops Will Continue to Offer Differe...:
Your talking about a company that released all of its VC range for Europe in the sub standard 50hz Crap without the option for 60hz when 99% of peoples tv's could handle it, a Utter DISGRACE in my opinion, they release a 25th Mario Anniversary Disc MISSING many games all again running in 50hz just Ridiculous.

XyVoX commented on Review: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening ...:
