Review 3D Classics: Urban Champion (3DSWare)
3D Classic, huh? Well, they're half right...
You really have to feel bad for the team assigned to updating Urban Champion. After all, it's not a game that's very fondly remembered; in fact, you're unlikely to find many positive reviews at all, even from when it was new. It's also a stretch to say that it set the framework for fighting games to...

Video Remembering The 3D Classics NES Range On Nintendo 3DS
The "definitive way" to play these retro releases
Remember when Nintendo got Arika to bring a bunch of NES games to the 3DS? These games were part of the short running series known as the 3D Classics line, which contained six games like Kirby's Adventure and Kid Icarus, and even had a stereoscopic 3D enhancement. The series kicked off with 3D...

If you're going to release a 3D classic that's a fighting game Nintendo, why not release Joy Mech Fight and translate it for other regions? Instead you're giving us the worst game in your library.
#1. I hole heartrendingly agree. Joy Meka Fight is a NES (Famicom) classic, it needs a release. Almost as badly as the Mother Series. Check out this channel guy's, .youtube.com/watch?v=1Uy7otTkfI4
I honestly wonder who convinced the team to put this on as a 3D classic. :/
3D-Classics release choices seem to be based more on how good the game will look in 3D, and how easily it can be transferred. Not how enjoyable it is. With the lack of content, lots of people are buying them anyway...
I agree with @Geonjaha. Right now, since the eShop doesn't have much of a market, it would be more profitable for Nintendo to demonstrate how good games could look, with games that are just average. After all, if they converted something like Super Mario Bros. 3 into 3D, how many of you would actually purchase any of the current 3D games? Excitebike? Maybe.
I hope it has download play because I doubt I could get any of my friends to buy it. No matter what I'll get it because I'm desperate for Club Nintendo coins and absolutely NEED a Game & Watch by the end of the year.
This game is pretty fun, though simple, I'm excited.
Where are the new 3DS ware games?
Is anyone really happy with these old recycled so called classics......keep this up and the 3DS experiment is going to end poorly!!
Is this out on the Wii VC?
I downloaded it.. i remember the original. kind of simple but very retro i made it to level 20 and became urban champ in 10 minutes lol
Damn you, NoA!!! Why not Punch-Out?!?!
Call me crazy.... but I'm enjoying this. UBER simple, but for some reason, I've spent 30 minutes each time I've loaded it up. For a download title, that's not a bad average. And the 3D perspective tweaks are pretty compelling, gotta say.
I got my friend to buy it (with surprisingly little effort) and it certainly adds to the replay value. Our bouts are simple time wasters, but include many of the crazy local interaction that I usually find in Mario games. I am glad I bought this, and recommend it to anyone and everyone who likes simple games.
i think its alright,nothing like a good 'o' fist fight....its like real life
