then I shall have been screwed over twice by Nintendo for being an ealery adopter of the 3DS. Hopefully it will be a BIG new game. Wii U full fledged Pokemon catching adventure....I can only dream.
I don't see that this will bear any resemblance to the orignal NES series. It'll be New Super Mario Bros 3DS as a few above me have said. Just so you're all not getting your hopes up for smb3 sequel or anything...
This doesn't suprise me at all and the points you make are more than valid. I 've been wondering why there was so much coverage of the game here when I read it was coming to HD consoles only a week ago.
That's not bad at all to say the successor is just around the corner. Surely support for this machine will have to continue for at least a couple more years after the 3DS release?
What I actually find more interesting is the PS2 sales figures. You have to hand it to Sony, it's an fantastic immoprtal machine. There's still a few releases penned for the US and UK too!
Why do people keep hitting on sonic 4's £10 price tag. Yes I said it - £10 and a few pence. This is it's retail price on the 360 & ps3 so you're not getting screwed in that dept. Granted it's unfair Japan should have the pprice decreased but do their points work out at a different rate maybe?
If this rumour is true then It personally doesn't take me by surprise. Think about it, in the UK 2000 points costs £14 direct from Nintendo so this weighs in at £10.50. Similar games on other digital services cost around £10 too. Rocket Knight on xbla and psn for instance is no more than a new version of a classic game but still carries what we may consider a high price tag. Just over a tenner for a game that's easily going to be as big as it's 16-bit forefathers is reasonable imo. Yes it's episodic but if the quality and quantity of level and design is there then price is highly justified. Saying all this, Nintendo Power have come off a rumour so it may cost less and who knows, may cost more!
It's only a Frisbee? What's so great about it?? I think Nintendo could get some much better incentives in club nintendo. The only thing that intersts me atm is wii points. Now to carry on saving my 6500 stars
@5 It looks like it could be doesn't it? Either way I like this. Maybe i'll get one for my Mrs who has taken to using my old lite all the time haha. But i'm also with others and would most likely wait for the 3DS.
Anyone in the UK a heads up, Morrisons are selling this for £18.99. Whether this is a limited deal or not I don't know but it's the cheapest i've seen it. Snapped it up there too
I'm in agreement with the majority. Take your time and make it all the better! I'm sure Mario and Sonic at the winter games will fill my time up over the festive period (well that and reruns of Chritmas specials on TV)
