Re: Virtual Handheld Confirmed for 3DS

EdEN

Now we need to know the prices. I would be ok with 500 points for GB games and 800 for GBA games so they can have Free, 200, 500 and 800+ categories on 3DSware as is the case with DSi. Sure not all GB games are worth $5 but if that's how we got NES games I see no difference.

What is interesting is how "classic games on 3D" is mentioned as well. Will we get Ocarina and Starfox as 3DSware $15 games on the service or will they go for full on $34.99 retail releases?

Re: Exclusive Sneak Peek at Shantae Fan Club Mailer

EdEN

Ah, so they went the Cave Story way then? My guess is that if the game was split into 3 episodes each would have been 500 points so we're getting a better deal like this.

Good thing I have all levels of Mighty Flip Champs on S Rank. It would seem you get a bonus for owning MFC, another for finishing it and another for having all S Rank but that's my take on the email I got (the image at the begining).

I paid $40 for A Boy and his Blob (another great 2D game everyone should own and is only $20 at the moment at Gamestop) and will gladly pay $40 for Lost in Shadow.

Re: Rumour: 3DS Tech Specs Revealed

1.5 GB of flash is way better than what's currently available on Wii or DSi. My guess is that 3DSware games will max out at 100 MB (it's 40 MB on Wiiware and recall that it's about 30 MB on DSiware in case you're wondering) which means you could have 15 games on your memory or maybe combine games and movie downloads. 3D movies should clock in at about 200-300 MB at most since it's a smaller screen we're talking about.

I'll be buying a 16 GB SDHC card to go along with my 3DS. It's the card size I use for the SD channel and Guitar Hero Songs and it still has 8 GB free even if I have 40 songs and 50 games in there so I guess the same size will be enough for me on 3DS. Might even go with a 32GB one depending on movie sizes.

Re: Three More Virtual Console Titles Incoming

EdEN

I'm looking at my NES Faxanadu cart at the moment, which I can't play because someone stole my NES power supply. Need to make a trip to Radio Shack to buy a new one. Anyone know the model I need to get?

Re: Super Mario Collection Special Pack Revealed

EdEN

I'd pay the $30 just for the CD and history booklet. A release over here would probably de $40 but still a great deal since the games are $21 on the Virtual Console and $19 for the booklet and CD would be a steal. The 50-70 coins for my Club Nintendo account wouldn't hurt either.

Re: Review: My Exotic Farm (DSiWare)

EdEN

And to those saying it's the same game as My Farm just with different animals, some don't seem to have a problem with paying $60 for Madden every time there's a rooster change for the new year.

Re: Review: My Exotic Farm (DSiWare)

EdEN

I bought My Farm since for $2 it seemed like a fun game. I liked it enough that I will download this tonight. So far all the games from BiP Media are in my DSi so keep them coming!

Re: Metroid: Other M Struggles to Ignite UK Sales Charts

EdEN

This will pick up in the UK eventually but since it's doing very well in the rest of the world we can't complain too much.

I have my copy of the game but won't be playing it until december since it has to wait for it's turn as I have other games to take care of first.

Re: My Exotic Farm

EdEN

I had fun with My Farm and changing around the animals even if with the same dynamics could get me to spend another $2 on this. Getting 10 coins for my Club Nintendo account doesn't hurt either.

Re: Metroid: Other M Tops Wii Sales Charts Worldwide

EdEN

Seems like it will do 500k first week worldwide.

@Token Girl: Yep, A Boy and his Blob is by Wayforward. I bought it when it was released and it was worth the price and is even a better purchase now that you can get it for $20.

Re: And Yet It Moves

EdEN

Ok, entered the contest. Hopefully this time I get a shot at the 10 copies since not winning Ivi the Kiwi? and the signed piece of artwork was an emotional low...

Re: Review: And Yet It Moves (WiiWare)

EdEN

And now we add one more game to the list. I'm thinking I'll have to take a sick week from work to catch up with all my games so I can start buying new Wiiware, DSiware and PSN releases.

Re: Review: My Farm (DSiWare)

EdEN

Well, in Harvest Moon you move around, interact with other people, etc. and pay $30-50 for a portable or console game. Here, all that's asked of you is $2 and a couple of hours of your time. I like the game and for the price you can have fun in the cheap.

Re: Review: My Farm (DSiWare)

EdEN

200 points and by BiP is all that I needed to know at first. The review falls around the range I was expecting (6-7) for this. It's part of my collection now and it's a very fun game that will even add 10 coins to my Club Nintendo account so you can't beat that.
