Hopefully the biggest winner will be us gamers........ all the main companies showing some great new games, hopefully nintendo will un cover the 3ds XL with built in cpp.
There is an arcade in yarmouth, where you can still play this!! when I played mad dog as a 10 year old, it would been a wild dream to play on a hand held! all we had back then was games in black and green!
@megadeth Its very rare for a nintendo published game to drop in price, so your better off getting it now while there are plenty of people to play online.
The wave bird was the best controller, so comfortable, and my first wireless one, it worked so well and the batts lasted ages.and its still plugged in to my wii. ohhh what about the NES power glove
Well thats what we have demos for, to see what a game is like before we buy, after loving rayman on vita I was looking forward to the 3ds port, hoping the 3d would add something........my god what an awful port of a fantastic game. Looks really bad, its the only 3d game to make my eyes hurt! the speed is not there, the controls seem imprecise, try doing a tricky treasure level on 3ds will be impossible. I think nintendo know rayman is slightly better than mario land 3d (more of a challenge) so if they let a sub standard version of the game on to 3ds, more people will buy mario instead.
Just got VVVVVV, love the icon on the home page! and the loading screen brings back memories.......20 mins of flashing lines and screeching with fingers crossed the game would load at the end of it! them were the days! when you could go to boots and get a c90 and copy all your mates games!
The game looks fantastic, half way through origins at mo and loving it, but the wii u gimmicks look terrible, alright if your 10, but novelty will soon ware off! yet another Nintendo money making scam buy a toy to unlock on disc content. Its nearly as bad as making you buy 2 copies of every pokemon game just to get em all!! If Nintendo want to attract the hard core gamers (they have said this) this is no where near enough.
@shake_zula have you played rayman origins ? one of the best 2d plattformers. I've just finished it on vita, but will be getting it on 3ds in a few weeks.
@james I love nintendo as much as the next gamer, At the mo my 3ds is still getting equal play time with my vita, but I really cant see Wii u selling as well as the wii did.
If nintendo made games for other consols, more people would have the chance to play em, which would make more sales= more money to make new games, win win!
The Wii u , will be nintendo's last home machine. Very sad but true. It will not sell aswell as the wii, for a couple of reasons, the "hardcore" gamer will not buy it in great numbers, because they have been bitten and stung by the wii and wont make the same mistake. The casual granny market wont buy it because they have a wii and wont see the need for an upgrade.
Some of my greatest gaming memories come from nintendo machines, but like most people who have played games for 30 years,they dont want to waggle and dance to play games. A new controller is not enough to save the Wii u long term.
Nintendo should do a sega and just develop games. How good would a new mario kart or metroid be on the real next gen machines, if nintendo could put more funds into game design. With full trophy support, "BING" mario has just collected 10,000 coins. WOW
The flood of crap shovel ware starts! its bad enough we only get one demo a week (if were lucky!) but why does it have to be for crap like this. How about a demo for a game people would be intrested in? kid ic....... mario tennis? ...... The Eshop is one of the 3d's best features, but they should look at the vita shop and have demos for most games!
The USP of the 3ds is glasses free 3d. I love playing games with the 3d. If games start to come out with out 3d, I and many many other will buy same game on vita. Nintendo should set standards not allowing 3dless games on the 3ds.
The worse news in the txt, is that you aim with the stylus. This never works and makes the game feel clunky! was a day 1 buy, but not now.....first 3ds big hitter that will fail!
