This Nintendo direct was a bit of a disappointment. Most of what they showed off. We already knew about. But like the article said if you're a SEGA fan. The new sonic and game-gear titles will make you happy. I'm just glad I'll be able to download both seasons & ages for $10 dollars.
That's such a weird pick. I mean Eevee? Don't get me wrong Eevee's a fine Pokemon. But why? I can understand the Charizard XL. Because he's a fan favorite of the classic Pokemon. And then you have the Pikachu XL. But that's only because she's the mascot of the series.
It's good to see Europe is getting code of princess. Maybe now I'll see more people playing online. Every-time i pop in that game. The online is a dead zone.
Sounds like it could have been neat to have in the final product. But i really wish intelligent systems would take Paper Mario back to it's roots. Paper Mario Sticker Stars feels and i hate using this term "casual". You don't get a party of interesting companions and the music isn't as catchy as past Paper Mario titles.
The reason i said RPG seem like they are slowly dying is because this isn't the first time, I've come across an article about huge price cuts only a few months after a title is release. Besides most of those title listed are already established franchises. I'm still hoping Namco will pull through and bring it over stateside.
Hmm, I'm not surprise by this news. It seems like RPG are slowly dying in Japan. I mean if a game like ni no kuni can't get good sale numbers then project X zone isn't going to do to well in the market. Unfortunate just another reason for Namco not to release this title to the west.
I like how everyone is getting all irate over a suggestion list. Anyways not a bad list for newcomers. I especially like how you picked resident evil revelations. That's the only title that shows off what the 3DS system can really do.
Resident Evil: Revelations is easily the best Nintendo 3DS game of 2012. I would have picked Kid Icarus: Uprising but because of the controls and the fact that I'm left handed. I couldn't pick it. Oh, Best 3DS eShop game? i would have to go with The Denpa Men: They Came by Wave. The Last Story is my pick for 2012.
A new Mega-Man title on the ISO? I couldn't really tell if it's a good or bad game from that trailer. It looked like it had some card elements in it. Could probably be interesting.
Looks to be a soft week. I won't be getting anything this week. Hmm, i wonder what happened to NightSky and Liberation Maiden? I guess they are coming at a later date.
Is anyone else having problems with cave story? I've been trying to play curly's story but every time i start it. It glitches up and becomes unplayable. Does anyone know if nicalis plans to fix it or am i the only person experiencing these issues? A reply would be helpful.
E.X Troopers trailer looks completely awesome but i really want to see the 3DS game-play footage. I would totally be up for a state side release. I'm not really a Lost Planet fan but the spin-off looks much better then the original games.
It's not that, i don't like sprites. It's just not acceptable by today's standards to use sprites for a full retail title. Especially since these three companies have the financial backing to do something truly great.
I gotta level with you James. I'm a bit disappointed with the 2D look of the game. I was hoping the game would have been 3D. Seeing as how Capcom,Sega and Namco Bandai could have easily pulled that off. Seem like lazy devs but maybe the game-play can make up for the look of the game.
Wow, just wow. Nintendo of America let me down this whole month. All four updates were a disappointment but on the plus side, i didn't have to spend any money on the eShop. So thanks Nintendo.
It's sad but true. Just look at the big sellers. Call or duty and battlefield. FPS are very big sellers in north America. I will always be a fan of the old survival horror game-play. It's sad that Capcom decided to westernize Resident Evil but they need to stay in business so i understand there move.
Good review Philip. When i saw the trailer in the Nintendo eShop. I kinda already knew this game wasn't going to be good. Sad, the game had an interesting concept too. It's unfortunate but what can you do.
Nintendo loves to troll it's American fan-base. Come on Nintendo this is just getting sad. Give me kid icarus of monsters and myths already. Very weak update. Will pass on all.

Re: Review: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (3DS eShop / NES)
