Topic: Hydroventure: Spin Cycle official

I am interested in this, dont mind the tilt ( maybe not the 360 degree stuff i dont like) and havent played the original. Worth it? Also, discuss the game here.

It looks so different to the original which I didn't buy, but this one looks better

The original is absolutely my favourite WiiWare game. I can't wait for this.
@Barbiegurl777
$10.99 is a bit much, I agree. Hopefully there is enough content to justify that pricetag.

This game is absolutely my favorite WiiWare game too! (It's also my onlt WiiWare game

But seriously great game. Need to finish the original though before I play this one. Can't wait for Dec. 27th!

I like how it uses the gyro feature makes me want WW Twisted on VC or at least a 3DSWare "remake" with the title on the 3DS menu switched to a GBA and making the GBA noise... Why can't they do that?

I need a demo, because the gyro feature looks pretty bad to be honest due to the two screens.

And $11 is quite a bit to be dropping, so since there are many other games I wanna get as well, I might have to wait.

I was really excited for this but the gyro feature seems TERRIBLE on the 3DS. I really need a demo for this.

I am hoping this game is ported to Wii U because I cannot see spinning the 3DS like that to be that enjoyable.

Bought it and played it for an hour yesterday and I think it's way better than the Wii release.
Not all the levels can be turned upside down but these full spin levels are my favorites. The gyro feature work flawlessly and not only you can turn the 3DS but you can bend it forward to be faster as well.
Believe me ! The full twist feature are the best one that could be added in this release and it works like a charm.
I remember to be annoyed by the limited twist in the Wii release but now, it's not limit gymnastic !

Definitely a demo and a convincing review or two for me. With everything else I want on the eShop and the risk factor associated with this game's gyroscope usage, $11 is just too much for me.

I'm excited for the gyro feature because I have little-to-no games at all that take advantage of that feature.

Can we get the OP to add Fluidity to the title? That way we won't get confusion from some of us in NA.

I'm definitely downloading just based on the wiiware version. Not over thrilled with the gyro since it ditches 3d but still looks like good fun.

I loved this on the Wii.

But I'm with "rayword45" on this. As much as I love gyro controls on my handhelds like my latest Ipad, ipod, iphone 5 and PS Vita, I feel that the 3DS XL is too big, bulky (two screens) and heavy for that much gyro use, it also has a folderdable screen in which constant gyro motions might damaged the hinges that hold the top screen up right .

I know as a man I'm going to have problems constantly turning my 3DS XL round 180 to 360 degree's without dropping the bloody thing as its quite bulky and heavy compared to my other handhelds. I hate to say it but the 3DS in general isn't suited for gyro usage on this scale, especially 360 motions.

I just don't see it catching on and I can see a lot of users having accidents while playing this. This game gets no support from me.

Just for your information : obviously there is no 3D feature in this game.
And to people saying they could damage or drop their 3DS, movements required to play are not necessarily fast.
I got a 3DS XL and I handle it gently with this game.

@gurtifus - Just for a comparison, how does the gyroscope usage in Hydroventure compare to Mario Kart 7's gyroscope steering feature? Also, what concerns me more than the standard rotation is the sections of the game where you need to spin your 3DS 360º. How prevalent are those sections (are they like 50% of the levels, or more like 10%)?

nintendo must make more demo's.

@Birdman - Sorry, I can't compare with Mario Kart 7 as I don't own it. Until now, there are more than 50% of the levels where you need to rotate your 3DS 360°.
But instead of turning the 3DS when movements required are more than 90°, I prefer to bend the 3DS forward. It's easier and more comfortable.

Got hydroventure, really fun so far, if a bit easy, though i heard it gets harder. the 360 degree levels are a revelation. the tilt controls are great.

Bought this at the EU release. I think this is the best 3DS game in using gyro controls. I usually hate games that require using gyro controls but this game uses them well. So far I am in world 2 and the game has been good to this point. At least there is a lot to do. To clear the game 100% you'll have to get 5 stars from every level and collect every puzzle piece. Nice game.

So to the people who have it; how many 360 rotation levels are there? If there's not too many I may pick this up.
