Once I read this game is basically "Skyrim for 3DS" and since then I was thinking about trying it. And approximately a week ago I did so aaand... I am circa 30 hours in and it is really addicting!
What does it mean "to view your playtime"? That you will finally be able to see THE EXACT time you spent in particular game on Switch? Or it will just copy the same "over 50 hours" from activity log?
I am an unusual 3DS owner. Because the last game I bought is from 2014 and since then nothing. Oh no, I forgot on Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. That's one game during last 2+ years. And finally this year I will add another game to my collection - Metroid: Samus Return. At least I hope that developer won't screw it up.
I am surprised. Screen on New 3DS is bigger than on the original one, it's size is far more suitable for carrying it in a pocket, it has SNES-like buttons and removable covers. Oh, and you can hold it comfortably in one hand (Kid Icarus, Hotel Dusk...). For me it's the ultimate model.
I am totally speechless. I never agreed with his way how to run Nintendo, but this is shoking! I didn't know his health condition was THAT serious. What does this mean for Nintendo? A new change of course or... I don't know what to expect now.
Gotta admit I don't like this at all! I expected that it will be one COMPLETE game and you just have to choose which side to pick. Then you can change your decision during the 2nd run. That would make sense to me. I don't like the fact that they want to force people to buy one game two times...
Since I dissagree with that I won't support it. It might be a good game, but I don't want to support this... and help it to become standard. I did the same thing with "New" 3DS and it's exclusive games.
So I have voted. I am dissapointed by this "new" 3DS revision. Mainly due to exclusive game content. As existing 3DS owner I feel betrayted. I am shocked how soft Nintendo community is. I don't like it, many people even encourage Nintendo in this move. I already have their product. I want to play Xenoblade, but I can't. I have to buy a new console... Why? It's stupid. They are forcing me to do it. To be clear... I am 28 and 150 € won't ruin me. But I have family. I have my wife and little kid I have to take care of. There are some priorities in life. I can find a better way to spend my money on than basically on the same system which I already have. I like gaming, it's very relaxing. But this isn't right. I hope this move will hurt Nintendo so they will think twice next time...
Nintendo of Japan has confirmed that more exclusive games for the "new" 3DS will follow... Extremely stupid move since there are over 45 millions of 3DS owners. Definitely I won't support this madness.
FIFA on 3DS is enormous garbage... Do not even think about buying it! It's a direct port of FIFA 06 or 07 for PSP with few new modes. However the last 3 editions are exactly the same without any new content. Graphics are really ugly, gameplay too easy and overall feeling is just bad. If you want to play football on 3DS choose Pro Evolution Soccer (2012 or 2013). That game is excellent!
So let's summarize it. Renege Kid made slightly enhanced remake of DS game. Game, which is pretty mediocre and it's original version is 100% compatibile with 3DS system. They decided to release it only via eShop on the platform, which has no proper account system and all digital titles are bound to specific piece of hardware. And on top of that - episodic release. And they expected money for that... And my question is - are they nuts?!
I would like to see Metroid 2.5D and Xenosaga Chronicles-like RPG, both for 3DS. That means no random encounters, no turn-based fights and vast open world. And my personal wish that never comes true - Shenmue.
This is funny I just wrote an article about similar thing in my blog Anyway I think that the reason why Mirror of Fate failed is obvious - David Cox. He made God of War 2.5D not Castlevania. And fans didn't like it. Then he "annouced" HD version while 3DS one wasn't even out by that time, What he expected?? I think that Castlevania is "doomed". Classic games of the series are too hard for common gamers and the new ones are not very interesting.
Wow, Bravely Default won in it's category! Great... now the game needs only decent sale numbers. It would be great if both US and EU would surpass Japan (around 400 000 units).

Re: DuckTales: Remastered Digital Soundtrack Coming to Amazon
I would rather see coming that game to 3DS.
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition Out Today in North America, Wii U Version Delayed in Europe
Hi guys, I finished 3DS version and it was quite mediocre. It's boring after a while, definitely the weakest Arkham game... So save your money.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th February
I was pretty dissapointed. Nothing new about 3DS, not only one thing...
Re: Renegade Kid Releases Début Moon Chronicles Trailer
Is there any chance for a retail version of Complete Edition in a future?

Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life Readers' Awards 2013
Nooch: 1200 hours in Animal Crossing??? Is that even possible...? You should had to play it every single day for almost 6 hours since day one...

Re: Feature: Time to Vote For Your Game of the Year 2013
My choices are Fire Emblem (1st party) and Bravely Default (3rd party + overall GOTY).
