This patch will probably make it slightly less frustrating, but as for making it worth buying, I cannot recommend it. Especially if you think the demo was bad. That's the good part. If you're asking me, there's nothing patches can do to fix a game as broken as this one without replacing it with something totally different.

@Gioku
Wish I could tell you, but sadly, I've only had the opportunity to play it in my dark game room .

@Anclation
It's not actually inferior I switched from my 3DS to the 2DS. Brighter screen, far more comfortable, softer and more comfortable controls, start/select and stylus easier to get to, little better battery, no fingerprint magnet finish, and far more durable. The only thing that isn't better on the 2DS is the sound (Which is easily remedied by using headphones).

@rjejr
You can tell it's mono, but it's actually pretty decent for mono. I've needed to turn the volume down occasionally because it was too loud. And all 3DS models sound the best with headphones irregardless.

@Shworange
You don't need an adapter, it already has two NES, two SNES, and two Genesis controller ports.

Well, honestly, at least we know it's not being rushed.

This is even worse than I imagined... Good luck, Wii U.

Okay, first of all, most Sony franchises are held in high esteem for their quality. If you want to disagree, go ahead, but "the quality of the titles are shoddy" is pretty bare bones, if I have to say so myself. As for me, the original Ratchet and Clank is one of my all-time favorite platformers, and it actually feels very fresh and unique, to me, even today. Saying that you've played more creative indie games is not indicative of much of anything, considering indie games have been well known recently for taking unique directions.

And as for "95% of PlayStation gamers play shooters almost exclusively", that's just wrong, and is basically exactly the same thing as "95% of Nintendo gamers play childish platformers and gimmicky shovelware almost exclusively". It's just not true. On the contrary, Sony's top selling franchise is Gran Turismo, a realistic racing game, followed by Ratchet & Clank, a platformer, which you claim Sony does not give any attention to (Considering this is their second top-selling franchise, this seems highly suspect, TBQH).

Furthermore, if you want to cite development budgets, that's fine and all, but you need some sort of valid sources.

@element187
I really don't think you've played much of LittleBigPlanet if you think LittleBigPlanet is a generic attempt at a 2D platformer, no offense. 5 years later, I still don't think there's another 2D platformer like it. ModNation Racers was also hardly a Mario Kart rip-off, as it's heavy emphasis on user-generated content was more than enough to give it some freshness in a sea of uninspired kart racers. If you want some more creative Sony games, look no further than Sly Cooper or Ratchet and Clank (You don't have to like Ratchet, but you could at least give a reason or two why you think it's so terrible).

And if we want to talk about Sony ripping off Nintendo franchises further, I would also like to point out Megami Tensei was doing Pokemon long before Pokemon was a thing, and Sonic Xtreme and Ratchet and Clank were doing space and gravity themed platforming a good while before Mario. Pretty much every game company has taken inspiration from other games. Not to mention, Nintendo did not launch any major new IP's comparable to Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, or even Infamous on the Wii.

I don't think you have to adore every Sony franchise, or even any of them, and I'm not saying Sony has been 100% creative and innovative in all of their games, but I would have to say that Sony most certainly does have creative developers, and while I'm not saying Nintendo is unoriginal, they aren't perfect in this category either (No game developer really is, that I'm aware of).

Another new Sony IP, Tearaway, hardly unoriginal.

@armoredghor
Many games simply have an option to find games in your region.

@Nintomdo64
If you like something, you should be open to critique. Nothing is going to get better without it.

@AyeHaley
You're not alone on that one. You can always find online players at 1:00 A.M. even when everybody at home is asleep .
I really wish Nintendo would get the ball rolling with online and region-free. The online still really isn't up to 7th gen standards, and they've been going backwards with region-lock...

I want these! Especially the PS1 and NES ones.

Well, that's what I would say, if I did Christmas trees.

This is personal, but I have not seen any sort of a Wii U advertisement or anything of the sort for a long, long while. I've seen more marketing for the Xone and PS4, and those are not even out yet.

And just for the record, I'm not talking about TV commercials or anything like that, I haven't had cable for 4-5 years now.

@GamerGleek47
You can use a GameCube or Classic Controller. But I really recommend avoiding the GameCube controller, since all of the buttons are in the wrong place for SNES games.

So many good memories, and such a fun, underrated gem! Truly worth adding to your collection.

I liked the 1st one a good bit. As for the other two, not so much, unfortunately .

Online or local?

Thanks Square Enix, you just saved me $40, since I'll pass on this now!

I want Squaresoft back... (Even Enix too)

I've played the original on SNES. Despite the obvious, that it's gross, I found it to be nothing more than a lame, mediocre, dime-a-dozen 2D platformer. Personally, I really recommend gamers avoid this.

Better late than never, but... Forty dollars? Gonna have to pass, unfortunately.

Haven't bought a Capcom game since the MML3 fiasco. So, meh.

I have no idea why I like this game so much (This and Joust), it's actually one of my all time favorites. Couldn't disagree with the score more. Guess I'm the only one. Oh, well.

@SanderEvers You are still paying the price of the game, and I don't see any reason why you're not allowed to have all of the features, especially considering more up-keep demanding online services in the game are free.

@SanderEvers I don't see how it's free, considering you have to pay $40 for the game.

@Sleepingmudkip
They don't believe that the service is worth $5. Doesn't matter how cheap it is if it's not worth the fee.

Not worth it at all, to me, and I hope this is not the start of a dangerous trend. The game costs enough as it is and this service is unlikely to really need expensive upkeep (Battling, trading, etc. are all free even!)

I also just want to clarify that it doesn't matter if it's only $5. It's not a matter of being able to afford it, it's a matter of monetary worth. It can be seventy cents. If it's not worth seventy cents, it's not worth seventy cents.

This project is beautiful, that video was amazing.

Thank you, Keiji Inafune.

I got to play EarthBound on day 1. I'm happy .

It's not like it was a third of the price like 3DS or anything, so I'm not upset.

Well, I wasn't exactly expecting him to come out and say "The PS4 and Xone have brilliant launch libraries! Their products are indeed superior to ours."

Not much of a shock, to be honest.

Well, this is actually twice as good as I expected it to be

There's probably enough of a niche Otaku market to at least warrant a low print run of the game, but I'll probably see a flying unicorn before I see Loveplus on NA store shelves, unfortunately.

If Sony has been region-free for almost a decade, and even Microsoft is going region-free, I don't see why Nintendo can't/shouldn't drop it. It's just a bad, bad business policy. The pros of region-free obviously heavily outweigh the cons.

Would be interesting to see in the west, but, honestly now, I'm not getting any hopes up.

It can't be as bad as the original. ...Right? Yeah, the concept is funny and all, but honestly now, the game falls flat on it's face from most standpoints. Funny though.

Still have Super Putty on the SNES, thought I was the only one. The game was really difficult but quite charming and unique. If this plays like that I'd say we're all in for a real treat

Great review! I used to play this to the second level and quit when I was smaller. I finally decided to do a real playthrough last year (On the SNES). Never knew what a gem I had in my collection, really an underappreciated game.
