Topic: Jiro The Armadillo, Your Thoughts

I'm pretty sure that Jiro will appear in the next Smash Brothers game as a replacement for Sonic. It would be pretty cool, cause I love the design ^^

@Red-acteur

I hope Sonic doesn't get replaced! Sonic fighting Mario is something gamers have been wanting since the 1990's, and in Smash Bros. Brawl we are finally able to do that.

Well, yes, but either they'll have to replace it or retweak it better, because Sonic was soooo a punching bag in Brawl ^^

Sonic's quickness makes up for his lack of power. You just need to use him right.

@tendoboy1984, I sort of forgot about Let's Golf 3D but I've played that on the iPod Touch and it's more like a imitation of Hot Shots Golf and so therefore that didn't interest me. As for the 3DS Classic's I consider those as Retro or simply classic titles. When I think of 3DSWare my mind is more along the lines of original content designed especially for 3DSWare like Nintendo's The Rolling Western and not something that was originally else where like Let's Golf and Mutant Mudd.

REALLY looking forward to this. I would love to see him merit a Smash spot, too, since I want to see more one-off Nintendo characters show up, and his personality makes him seem like a very logical fit. /fingers crossed

I would like to see more of this character's game, for it looks really good when compared to other games coming out for 3dsware currently. The character design is good and hopefully there is a nice story to go with it.

His name is Dillon now, apparently.

Kind wish it was still Jiro, hoping it's a different character's name

The gameplay looks interesting enough, I just don't like the setting, or the character. Also, environments look kinda dull.
He'll be a welcome Sonic clone in Smash Bros.... wait a minute... this is a download game? Nevermind then.

Liked the Jiro name better if they were thinking of replacing it, it always seem like a neat pun on the word Gyro to me, Dillon just doesn't have much appeal to me.
Anyway, I hope this game along with Nimble Sakura Warrior set the bar for future 3DSware titles. A mix of strategy and action and great for short bursts of play, while seemingly having a good amount of content for its asking price. They both seem to be on par with Steel Diver in terms of content, only to be offered cheaper on the online shop. I am willing to support these kinds of software for the eShop that is, if they actually are fun, which from what I can tell, they are

Where was Mutant mudds before 3DSware?

You know it is possible for this to become a new series, although I still doubt it. It would make more sense for it to be a console game. However, Miyamoto did say he wanted to have a new Nintendo franchise (Mainly read the second paragraph), so this could be it.

I sure hope this is the new franchise! This Armadillo looks to be quite innovative and I just love Cowboys and Texas Toast!

Sadly, Dillon's Rolling Western does not seem to be previewing well. Both Nintendo World Report and IGN have reported serious control issues on this one. Nintendo may want to delay the release to see if they can get things right. There's a decent amount of eShop content coming up, and it would be embarrassing for Nintendo to unleash another Urban Champion on the eShop. The good news is that most of the other games are previewing well with no more than minor issues.

Meh, from the trailer I saw on the eShop, this game looks extremely generic. The way Dillon rolls is very reminiscent of Rock Mario, which I also did not like (the steering was terrible).

Innovative how?

Looks to be a great game as long as it controls well.

I thought for sure this was another Sonic character. Ah well.

Nintendo recently put up a page Rolling Western on their website. There's a few more details about it and some screenshots that show off the bottom screen. I hope it's better than the previews say — http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/8d0kSEesWcvH0tB2kgOUFS5U...
