Wow, actual 3DS games. That's a surprise. Even more surprising is the release of yet another Japanese Rail Sim. I hope this means they're going to release yet another Air Traffic Controller too. I hope, I hope, I hope.

Oh, I didn't realize 80s Overdrive is out too. Definitely getting that. Love Out Run!

@Kirbyfan Seriously? It's apparently a rule here that you have to be interested in a random Mario game to be able to come to this website? I've been playing on Nintendo systems (and handhelds) since the NES. I think I have a right to be here. Just for the record, I don't have a Switch anyway, and I don't want one. I haven't played a single main Mario game since Mario 64.

Re: Roguelike Dungeon Crawler Tangledeep Is Wandering Towards Switch In 2018

I was going to come in and say "I wish people would stop calling rogue-lites a 'roguelike' as they're entirely different, but this game really is a roguelike, so, yeah.

I don't think anyone here has actually played a true rogue-like before, judging from all the comments about 'terrible animation' and 'terrible visuals.' This is what roguelikes are. Like 1st person dungeon crawlers, roguelikes don't rely on animation and graphics. It's the gameplay that really matters in the genre. All roguelikes use this style, and some really old ones just uses ASCII graphics. Sure, you can hate the genre, but to say a roguelike looks precisely what a roguelike is supposed to look like is rather asnine.

Re: Review: Star Fox 2 (SNES)

@Shiryu Don't mind me. I'm in the extreme minority of people who don't care/want remakes much, whether it's games or movies, etc. I usually always find the originals to be better, and I can only recall 2 movies that had better remakes than the originals. Star Fox is an amazing game, but it still is amazing today.

@Shiryu No, just no. Leave the classics alone. Star Fox doesn't need a remake. It's perfect the way it is. What I want is a straight up port on the 3DS but I know that's never going to happen.

Not saying that they shouldn't make remakes AT ALL though, as long as the original can still be easily purchasable for the people like me who don't want remakes.

If online shopping is 'the future' as people say, then heck, you might as well close down all the malls and stores. Heck, down with banks too since you can do all your banking online. Replace all those 'outdated stores' with parks.

I don't really like shopping online, unless it's things like books and games. I can't try on clothing to see if they fit if I buy online, and I can't see items up close to see what the quality is (electronics, statues, etc) and test them out before deciding if I want it or not. The item being shipped to me could get lost/stolen, battered or destroyed en route to me. In some stores like Amazon, shipping costs are outrageous, and could potentially end up costing more than your items. I'd have to spend more than what I want in order to get free shipping, and that's only if the store actually offers free shipping. Shopping online has its cons, whereas with physical stores you can return items easily and can actually see and touch whatever it is you're buying.

There's always a place for stores.

I'm Canadian by the way.

Re: Jools Watsham Highlights Low Chicken Wiggle Sales, Confirms Upcoming Discount

I haven't moved onto the Switch. I don't even have a Switch. I don't want a Switch. That said, I still won't buy this game. I don't have much interest in it.

No idea if indie gamers have moved onto the Switch though. Although the 3DS has some good indies, the majority of the best indies are on the Vita. That's where all the indie gamers are, including me.

Re: Editorial: Farewell to the Flawed Miiverse, But Thanks for the Memories

While I will miss posting screenshots, I'm not sad at all that it's going. All the 'memories' I've ever had there are a bunch of young kids 'talking' to me through the use of typos and poor English. It's rare that I actually find a post that isn't mangled to heck.

@Haywired I can see why. Those drawings are awesome. Could you draw a calico patterned scottish fold Palicoe for me?

Re: Elminage Original Will Be Crawling Through Your 3DS Dungeon This Week

@World Actually, I'm getting conflicting info about that. Some sources say it's Rising Star Games bringing it over, but other sources say Ninja Games is. I've no idea who Ninja Games is, but their logo does appear in-game. No idea if they're both the same company under different names too. Either way, the game is fine. I haven't seen any issues,
