Love this series! I can spare my carts rest, finally! Have the 2nd on my import but I think I'd repurchase it when it gets its us release so I can have both on my new mm3dsxl.
Since I'm going physical for all the greatness that is the upcoming collectors editions of everything I'm just gonna snatched up fantasy zone and the gold MM theme to match my incoming console!
@Captain_Toad dang didn't know protect me knight was getting released! That's great news!! Have it on my import new 3ds and it's just plain fantastic. Certainly one I will rebuy in english!
@bizcuthammer this is exactly how i feel about it. Personally, i could care less if they implement some form of microtransaction so long as they don't rely on it, especially in any legitimate release. If its in a bunch of mobile like games...fine...i dont play thlse anyway! Go nuts! If I'm playing a mario game and i have to buy 1ups or heart pieces in zelda...that i'd have serious issues with.
@XCWarrior initially my plan was to burn up my coins on dowbload games, but I, and I think many others, are holding out for physical rewards bc it seems from what nintendo has said there will be some new goodies.
That's pretty cool. I haven't played the newest iteration, but the first two games were absolutely fantastic. Its definitely one of those games that'll suck you in and before you know it hours have passed by!
@DaveCook yeah looks pretty spot on. Really, all the arcade ports of these sega classics have been on point. Super hang on has eaten hours of my time...that and fantasy zone 2.
When I saw this on the eshop yesterday I thought it was some kind of cross buy promotion based on the wording in the eshop description. Like buy Yoshi's new island get the gba vc version...that would've been pretty dang sweet!
@SakuraHaruka oh wow! Didn't know this was getting a US release! Solid!! Now if level 5 could get youkai watch out that'd be great! Would love to play that in english!!
@rishisquid I'm with you on both fronts! I was thrilled the whole direct. Now I'm mentally preparing for all the money that's gonna get burned up! Also, Im all for the xl, as that's what I was planning to get the whole time as I imported the standard one anyhow, but I do see why some are upset that they don't have the choice. I guess this is a good enough reason for those who really want the face plates to import and get in on all the glorious japanese only games!
Yep they cancelled mine, I pre-ordered most of my cancelled from elsewhere shortly after they were cancelled but I may keep some from them. They had better reinstate the buy one get one 40% that was applied to them as well!
I really hope we get a western release sooner rather than later! Just finished playing through yw2h, and I can only assume if it is THAT good in a language I completely don't understand then it can only be that much better in one I do!
While I think the "tamohotchi" element is pretty cool, part of me does still think it would be cooler if I could stack load MY character with stats and take it with me to compete elsewhere with friends etc. I think the amiibo are great but wouldn't have minded having the option for the figure to be player controlled.
@YANDMAN while this would make me infinity happy, I agree with the below poster in that in may not be as successful as we'd want it to be. People like myself, and probably you, who grew up with these games, would be thrilled, I don't think the younger generation would see how insanely fun a set like that would be... even if retro is all the rage right now. .here's to hoping, but we've been waiting for something like this since the wii days.
Probably start off w monster in my pocket on my nes splatter in some wanpaku graffiti famicom stunts...and making sure to keep up my megaman skills in smash...
This is a really fun game, might have to bust it out tonight. Its one of the few I still have the manual for. Bandai released some great games in the nes days.
Resmed is at the front when it comes to sleep related technology and medical equipment so this is a good choice for them. Always interesting to see something from my work life coming together with nintendo. Looking forward to how this plays out.
Had to bust out my cartridge of this a few days ago. If you haven't ever played this...download it! Hands down my favorite in the series in all its super deformed glory!!
@Copper_Kidd it's really gonna come down to nintendo nailing it down, plus proximity to the opponents and their Internet connection. It's tough to get right and, man, I really hope they do, but time will tell I guess! Brawl wasn't even playable online the 3ds version is barely worth the online play. I don't see how they can get mario kart as lagless as they have and not implement something similar with smash. With fighting games period lag is just a killer, maybe, not as much with smash bros vs something like street fighter but still a major issue none the less.
