Video: This Is How Much Faster Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Is After The New Update

I'll definitely give this another go now. I loved the game initially but the long wait times were really hacking me off...

Awesome. I've only played the demo so far(with the slower speed) and it didn't really bother me...but this is definitely an improvement.

Its worked.

I stopped playing the demo because of the waiting and resigned myself to not buying the game.

I have now played the new and improved demo, its way better now, and my interest in buying the game has returned

This update single-handedly pushes Code Name S.T.E.A.M. up on my list of favorite Nintendo 3DS games. Besides the slow enemy turns, I had absolutely no problems with the game. Everything else is perfection in my eyes. I just love the comic book aesthetic, and having a good story with interesting voiced characters had me hooked from the very beginning. Definitely a must own for fans of strategy games in my opinion.

Like many others, this game is now officially back on my "To Buy" list thanks to this update.

Only thing I wonder is, why release it without speed-ups or skips to begin with? It's always better late than never, but Nintendo's usually on the ball with such features.

Still kind of feels like something that should have been possible at launch. Not sure why they thought that the incredibly slow turns wouldn't be an issue.

clearly a little more testing would have resulted in commenting on the slow wait times, it's not the fix-all of problems, but it is much better, and it shows that Nintendo is listening, and willing to fix a game, even when its not "broken" per-say. I just wonder if the damage is already done, or will editors of gaming sites re-review the game with this update now live.

Seems to be the common comment, but I also put this game down for a while and will pick it back up now. The long wait times in between turns really took me out of the game; it's nice to see that they listened to the players and the reviewers and patched this pretty quickly.

I only played the demo but I enjoyed it. I didn't mind the pace when the enemy could be seen, and doing something; but there were a few occasions when there was nothing happening on the screen that I could see and so badly wanted to speed up the turn......and that's why I give this update two thumbs up!

I wonder if this was recorded on an old or New 3DS?

@Ralizah
That's what In was wondering as well.
Depending on what is out today I might get this now with ASA.

Still not getting this game any time soon.

I really, really like this game, but it doesn't fit into my gaming probabilities right now. I still want to play through XCOM on my computer and 3DS gaming is lonely. This makes it more likely for me to try it some day, though. I was just barely okay with the slower enemy turns but undoubtedly faster is better as long as the information is till being communicated well.

I never had much problem with the enemy turns but this update works really well. The action returns to normal for Overwatch attacks then speeds back up.

Will definitely reconsider now.

Can you manually choose if it's going to go fast or normal speed, by holding down a "fast forward" button or something?

The update obviously makes things much faster but in the video at least it looks are bit wrong to me. If it's controlled manually however then I think it would feel ok since the player is specifically initiating the faster motion.

Having tried the demo with the update on my New 3DS I actually prefer the original speed. The alien movement feels chaotic and rushed to me on the faster speed :/ And I don't mind the suspense of waiting, so I'll be keeping the original speed! Enjoy your games, don't just rush through them!

@Kirk You choose original or faster speed by switching a button on the lower screen panel during alien movement. So you can change it whenever you want.

@icebear80 Then this to me seems like a great solution all round that should satisfy everyone

It's literally been cut to a third of the time! I'm impressed with the swift manoeuvre after the reviews gave them a lashing for this.

GOOD JOB GUYS! This is once again a super exciting purchase for me : )

@abbyhitter and that's OK I bought three copies for myself so I'll just give it to you .so yes you just bought it

To those saying 'this should of been at launch', Nintendo did not think the speed was an issue since they got no complaints about the speed from their testers.

Cool, I had no real problems with the game, but I'm not complaining about something I probably won't use anyway.

That's great news. I tried the demo, but couldn't decide to buy the game because of those long wait times. Now it's another story.

I bought the game off Amazon after watching this video. I really enjoyed the demo, but the wait time was atrocious. I'm so glad it's fixed. Can't wait to use the FE amiibos with the game.

Other 35 days left for UE to see the game on shelves and no switch to speed up real life...

What about Pokemon games frame rate in 3d?
What about Castlevania: Mirror of Fate frame rate in 3d?
Not to mention other games in 3d mode and/or with online multiplayer (Code of Princes i guess)
What about patch for Kid: Icarus, when i'm added to team it wont change members until somebody left. And because of that there is one annoying thing, you will always win or always lose until somebody left and if you get luck.

Seems much better now. I'm gonna borrow this from my friend when it's released in Europe.
