Well, Dementium is a great game. But since we wait for the complete MoonChronicles I do not believe that this release will ever be happen. @Markshark: I agree with you.
@ryanator008: Well, you know, I´m over 40 years old with young kids. Many of my old schoolfriends have kids too. I as a collector don´t want to pirate games and I i don´t wanna show my children to do that. But some of my old schoolmates bought each of their sons a DS BECAUSE of the unbelievable easy way to play pirated games. Then the 3DS came out and the FIRST question they came to me was: "Oh, cool, with 3D, is there any good R4 in stores?" Another guy told me later: "We don´t buy the system, we cannot play games for nothing on it."
The reason why the 3DS is doing not so well is the lack of piracy. The moment somebody creates an easy way for dads and mums to copy 3DS-games the numbers explode.
Well, I agree mostly with Stevens opinion. The game has an outstanding atmosphere, and the idea of a soundtrack with noises of crying babys is still frightening.
But it is very hard to find all the parts from the Lasergun, which is very important to beat the final boss. And that part kills the game, because without a guide you can get a hold of maybe one of the four parts from the Lasergun. The other three are hidden behind nasty leveldesign. For example: destroy all oil-barrells in a level exept ONE particular. Then you reach other exits to further levels. If you don´t know it (like almost everybody without a guide) you suddenly make a leveljump forward (around six or seven levels, if I remember right) and miss Lasergunparts.
As a result you stand in front of the final boss and can´t do s...t. That kind of gamedesign destroyed back in the days the great and dark game for me.
Edit: Mmmh, I searched through youtube and found a video from a guy killing the final boss without the Laser. Mmh. I might try it again someday ... closing that old open file.
I have the original DS-Version and played it two hours. I didn´t stop because its bad, i just had many other games to finish. I wanted to come back to Moon, but now i will wait until March/April and get the new version.
It´s time for the first FPS on the 3DS. I don´t know why there is none at the moment. 40 Million 3DS sold in the world should be enough market for a FPS.
@Zorkthedork: Which is even more crazy. Watched that video with the guy playing Zelda with his feet? Again, I don´t get it. How long you have to train for something like that? I´m happy that my wife doesn´t complain about me playing so much games. I can´t imagine what she would say if I would start training for speedruns or sitting half naked on the floor with my feet on the gamepad. "Look, kids, daddy finally lost his mind completely."
@Barsteward1: I will never understand the reason behind a speed run. If there is a game I really like, the last thing I wanna do is finish it in the shortest time possible.
Ahhhh, I love dumb discussions like this. No reason for Nintendo to change it. All the hellraisers should have a simple look at the sales of most of the imported games. We don´t talk about million sellers, which are hold back by Nintendo. We talk about games who sell just 25000 pcs in 12 months in our regions, and thats from Nintendos point of view not even peanuts. The important games with high sales are coming quick enough these days.
But okay, if anybody wants to play a Dating Sim, great, then buy a japanese 3DS and raise hell about a region-lock the mass market doesn´t even know.

Re: Renegade Kid Reveals a Snippet of Information on eShop Sales
Don´t forget: Mutant Mudds is available worldwide, while Xenodrifter and Moon are just in the US-eshop. Sales of these two would be higher.

Re: Capcom Outlines Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Localisation Challenges
@LasermasterA : I went to HR 100 by myself to open the last quest. It was a long ride, but I enjoyd it.
Re: Feature: A Year in Development - Renegade Kid
Well, 35% of american sales for Mutant Mudds does not sound that much, but its still 35%. Out ouf 100.000 its 35.000. Out of 200.000 its 70.000.
Re: Review: Hazumi (3DS eShop)
I might give this a chance. I bought Siesta Fiesta in hope of a good Arkanoid-type game and was disappointed. Maybe this one is more interesting.
Re: Renegade Kid Is Bringing Survival Horror Title Dementium To The Nintendo 3DS
Well, Dementium is a great game. But since we wait for the complete MoonChronicles I do not believe that this release will ever be happen.

This is the Trailer for the iOS/Android/3DS-Version.
Re: WRC FIA World Rally Championship: The Official Game
You can´t even see the game on the german amazon. This is weird. It came out of nothing.
Re: WRC FIA World Rally Championship: The Official Game
I didn´t see this coming. Any gameplay videos? No? That´s a really bad sign.
Re: New Nintendo Direct Airing 5th November
They should also give us some news about that tactical-game for the 3DS which was announced on the e3.
Re: Moon Chronicles Developer Seeking Interest for Wii U Version Through Kickstarter Campaign
I guess there will be no more Moon-releases. They should bring the game in one complete download and not this episode-crap.

Re: Capcom Offering Spooky Savings In North America On Resident Evil eShop Titles
@WaveWarlock: I'm playing it at the moment. It's a 30 Level-scoreshooter with a lot unlockables and cooperative lokal and online.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei IV Dated for 30th October in Europe
Great. I will buy this game for sure.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Forsaken
Very good action game. It turned out to be pretty hard on higher levels. And sometimes you could´nt see the other hunters on their tiny bikes.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th September (Europe)
I pick The Keep. Love old Dungeon crawlers like this. First reviews talking about control issues during fights, but I will bite my way through it.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Doom 64
@HawkeyeWii: It´s funny - you mention the music, which I did not like in the original two Doom games. The N64 tune scared me to death.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Expo Banner Raises Questions With Wii U Logo
If it´s an error, someones gonna have a pain in the butt tonight.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Doom 64
@SKTTR: As I said, I might try it again. I guess I still have a save file on my old N64 savecards.

Re: Review: Siesta Fiesta (3DS eShop)
I like these type of games - day 1 buy for me.
Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Master System
i still have both 8-bit-machines here. SMS is a great little beast. I loved the little cards which came before the cartridges.
Re: Video: DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jeremy Ellis and The Roots Perform an Awesome Super Mario Bros. Remix
Jeff is the man. He did a great classic old school scratching performance. The other guy just fell accidently on his awkward keyboard.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd July (Europe)
Wasn´t there a free update for Mutant Mudds? The deluxe for 3ds worldwide?
Re: Footage and Details of The Keep on 3DS Are Uncovered
Holy Moly, thats exactly my kind of game! Day one!
Re: Review: Moon Chronicles: Episode 1 (3DS eShop)
@3dcaleb: Me too. I liked the atmosphere from MOON a lot. Just sad, that we in EU territories have to wait for the game.
Re: 2DS CPU Update Looks Set to Adjust System Security
@Starwolf: Well, there is Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil Revelations and the upcoming Shooter Moon Chronicles.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 G Due In Autumn / Fall This Year
Hooray, its coming to the west!

Re: Shovel Knight Targeting 31st March For Launch
The question is: Is that music from the game? If that tune plays during the action, I will download this right on day one.
Re: Renegade Kids Regains Publication Rights to Moon
It´s time for the first FPS on the 3DS. I don´t know why there is none at the moment. 40 Million 3DS sold in the world should be enough market for a FPS.

Oh, that is great. Slaying naked tall people. They don´t even fight, guys! Unbelievable.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December and 2nd January (Europe)
Resident Evil Mercenaries just 5€? Get it, the game is pretty impressive and for that money a good deal.
Re: Review: 3D Ecco The Dolphin (3DS eShop)
The music alone is worth the game.
Re: Bravely Default North American Demo To Include Unique Quest and Hours of Exclusive Content
No, you don´t have to buy a copy. You can download them on an official site.
Re: Review: 3D Super Hang-On (3DS eShop)
I downloaded it and playing the hell out of it. And I still did not beat the beginner class after 90 Minutes of playtime. Outstanding game.
Re: Review: Jett Rocket II - The Wrath of Taikai (3DS eShop)
I bought the game and its a solid one. 7/10 doesn´t mean awful, don´t forget that, folks. I enjoy it.

Around minute 7 you can see a classic roundbattle-system. I got the Genesis-Version. Its pretty tactical.
Re: Nintendo Direct Broadcast Confirmed for 13th November
Secret game: MH4 for the west, please.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Launch Sales Estimated to be a Series High
Yeah, bring it to EU also. But wait until next year, I´m at 350 hours now and still at the G-Rank in MH3U.
Re: Rayman Legends Sells More Copies In The UK On Wii U Than Any Other Format
Good news, but you all know, that the sales momentum will fall after this first peak. The other two consoles will make it in the long run.
Re: Professor Layton Franchise Sales Hit 15 Million, Guild Downloads Reach 400,000
400.000 Guild-Downloads is not a low number - its surprisingly high in my opinion. They wouldn´t announce them, if they wouldn´t be satisfied with it.
Re: Monster Hunter 4's Insect Staff Weapon Attributes Detailed
Please come to the west, MH4, please.
Re: Level-5 Wants To Make Another Professor Layton Title
I guess they will come up with more iOS-stuff.
