The more I see of this the more I think it will be a big hit. The vita is dying a slow and painfull death while the 3DS / 2DS seems to just keep battling on. I can imagine my daughter wanting to upgrade her dsi to a 2DS very soon. We'll have to see what Santa can do.
Nintendo pricing is stupid. Zelda OoT on the eshop is full price at £39.99. You can get it for about £15 in shops. The same applies to loads of other games. And new games are usually £5 to 10 cheaper in the shops. Digital downloads should definitely be cheaper.
Got bored of these games. I played them all but gave in on the last two after finding them too dull. Sorry, I know plenty of people still love them, but I'm no longer one of them. I won't bother with this one but hope plenty of other people enjoy it.
It's not a bad game really. It's just got a few graphical issues. Hopefully us UK/EU gamers get an uupdate for it. As it is though I would give it 7 out of 10.
Gave up on these games years ago. Just the same thing churned out year after year with a few tweaks and certainly not worth shelling out hard earned cash for. It's lazy money spinning by a company relying on the braindead idiots that repeatedly buy this crap. I don't blame them for doing it if stupid gamers carry on buying it. Same with CoD, other sports games, pokemon...
@Shane904 The producers and retailers know exactly what the buyer is going to do with it and so should be held partly responsible for the illegal use of them. It's not like they can be used in a legal OR illegal way. If you use one it is illegal. The manufacture of these things should be made a criminal offence. Just as the manufacture of pirate DVD's or CD's is.
Four hours play for the price they're asking is poor value. I'll wait for a sale. I rate my games on cost divided by hours played (which equals cost per hour). The lower the cost, the better.
Looking forward to this a lot but I definitely won't be paying a subscription. Friends only for me. No doubt plenty of videos will appear on the internet for free.
@Placlu It's already out in Europe. I tried it and hated it. Definitely not to my liking. I love strategy games like fire emblem and advance wars, and enjoy beat em upa, but didn't like PXZ at all.
@MrSRArter It's called 'milking it'. They try sell it at full price on the eshop even though you can get for about a tenner second hand. The download versions would sell in much better numbers if the price was reduced a bit.
Exciting games but too repetitive. I gave up on them after modern warfare 3. They will just keep bringing them out though. The yearly release formula has worked for FIFA and other games for ages. Why would they do any different with a FPS. Muppets keep on paying their money year after year to get the next rehashed game with slightly different content.
That's a shame. I was hoping that those exact problems would be ironed out in the final release. The fact that they have not means that I shall not be buying this game. I don't want to sit waiting 40 seconds to go into another area. I don't want things popping up out of nowhere.
@rizsparky - are you joking? This is well worth its asking price and then some. I've created some fantastic pictures that I didn't know I was capable of. Buy it now if you enjoy drawing or painting even a tiny bit.
It looks good but my concern is the same as others have stated. What will the price be if there are at least six episodes. It could end up being a very expensive download. Maybe a lower price for episodes 2 and onwards.
It's a great game and well worth the original price. I'm guessing that not enough people bought it though. It's still annoying that it's on sale so quickly after being released. Ho hum, never mind.
Hmm..... Maybe.... Maybe not. Think I'll wait and see what others think of it first. If nobody likes it I won't bother, whereas if it receives a bit of a fan club I'll consider it.
Nevermind the file sizes. The games on the EU eshop are £39.99 !!! You can get a copy of Starfox or LoZ:Ocarina for about £15 in the shops. Anyone paying nearly £40 for them must be mad.
@lmac99 - You're missing part of my point. Serious gamers may jump in and pre-order. But once the initial excitement has died down will it continue to sell? It might. But Nintendo's Wii was successful because it appealed to everyone. Grandma's and mums were playng it. Are these same "older" new gamers going to rush out to upgrade? I doubt it. They'll be happy with what they've got. And yes, the other two systems are older, but there is no sign of a next gen from them just yet, and the Wii U is not that much more advanced in what it can put out. It's too high a price tag for a lot of people and not that much of a big deal for the "older" or "casual" gamers. I hope the Wii U is a success. I really do. But I don't think it will be as great a start as other systems have had in the past, (eg Xbox, PS, Wii, DS, SNES, Megadrive.)
I think he's right. Ninty messed up with the 3DS price and I reckon a similar thing could happen with the Wii U. I won't be paying £350 for one anyway. When the Wii came out it was something new and so people saw the band wagon and jumped on it. The 3DS and Wii U are just upgrades to existing things and so not as many people will jump on the wagon this time around. Family gamers are not as bothered about upgrading to the latest system as much as "serious" gamers. That, along with the fact that people don't have as much disposable income anymore, could mean that the Wii U won't sell as quickly until they lower the price. I predict that within 9 months after launch the price will drop from £350 to around £250. Why buy a Wii U for £350 when you can get an xbox360 for around £150 or a PS3 for around £170?
Seems a bit expensive to me. How many times can they re-issue the same game with small alterations before people get wise to it?...... Oh...... erm..... Pokemon, FIFA, PES, Madden, Call of Duty, Mario, the list goes on. I'm losing interest in these games where they expect a high price tag. Small prices are fine. Full price is not.
Downloaded it and it's great. It's clear to read, easy to mark squares, and it's picross. What more do we need?...... erm..... 3D puzzles would be nice.
That just looks..... erm, what's the word I'm looking for?...... oh, that's it...... CRAP! It looks rubbish. It sounds irritating. It's not got much going for it really.

Excellent. Will download it. It's a good game and it was a shame the online part was broken.
Re: Snow Moto Racing 3D Slides Onto the 3DS eShop in North America on 17th October
Looks extremely similar to aqua moto racing. Too similar to justify buying this when I already have aqua moto.

We'll see... I might just stick to the free version on my smartphone.

Digital for me but only because I'm getting it for free having registered three games on the Nintendo website. Otherwise I would buy the cart.
Re: Review: Gummy Bears Mini Golf (3DS eShop)
Roll on Mario Golf 3DS. It's about time we add a decent golf game on the 3DS. All others have been mediocre at best and terrible at worst.

Re: Swapnote Update Available For Download On North American 3DS Consoles
It seems like loads of things are delayed now. That, or they are released and too hard to find in the shops due to poor distribution skills.

Fingers crossed that it happens.
