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!
Nothing for me again. I'll just stick with what I have now then, at least until SEGA 3D Classics 2 whatever is localized. Of course, it probably isn't going to now anyway.
@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.
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.
@BlueKnight07 I was hoping it'd come to 3DS VC (with 3D it would be even cooler) but that's a bust. I don't want/need a Switch so if they came out there, then I'd still be out of luck.
@BlueKnight07 I'm glad a Star Fox 64 fan has something good to say about the original. Usually their comments are negative. Yes, Star Fox is probably the hardest Star Fox game.
@speedracer216 I agree. It seems everyone picks on the Star Fox graphics these days and I just don't see what they're seeing. There may be no textures, but they're clean and simple and pleasing to look at. I think it actually looks better than Star Fox 64.
@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.
Why does everyone think that 'everyone has these games already?' Nobody buys every single game that comes out unless they're rich, so stop saying it like it's a fact.
I don't have any of them, and I'd certainly buy Nano if they were available in NA.
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.
I've never went to a Toys R Us in soooo long. Their prices are pretty high compared to other places. I'm not sad to see them go, but I am sad for all those employees.
I will be sad if EB/GS goes though. I buy all my games there.
@Meowpheel it is an error. The full game is 9.99 CAD and Mini is 1.99. The article just messed up the listing as both games are on sale but the Mini isn't listed and full game is incorrectly called Mini.
@BinaryFragger Fans can be just as bad as the trolls. No surprise here. Plus, it baffles me why people would drop their previous system as if it was contaminated/diseased once a new system comes out. Why would anyone even do this?
@zyn Horizon Chase is awesome. It's basically Out Run with actual racing. You can try it for free before buying. That was years ago though. Dunno if it's the same now.
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.
@SakuraHaruka I guess you didn't get SimCity 2013. It's a good game and has the best building variety. Despite what all the naysayers say, it has some great features and I love those curvy roads.
Interesting. It looks like the SNES version but in 8-bit. Anyway, it was a good game, although entirely primitive now compared to the superior PC sequels. Still, I'd like to see it on the 3DS VC but that's never going to happen.
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?
It's annoying when people say the Vita is dead. Isn't the 3DS dead too, now that the Switch is out? People are claiming it is. No system is officially 'dead' until absolutely no more games are coming out for it.
I never liked the game much. The original Star Fox is much better. It is a shame people these days say it looks terrible and it hasn't aged well, both of which isn't true.
$80 for games isn't affordable in my eyes. Prices here had gone up so it is no longer as affordable as it was several years ago. Even handheld games are encroaching into console price territory now.
@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,
@CanisWolfred The PSP version did get a patch that fixed the worst of it, and it was a lot better after that. I would assume the 3DS version is the updated version because it wouldn't make sense if they didn't.
@CanisWolfred If you already love the classic Wizardry games, then it's a no-brainer. Elminage series is a great homage to those classics and plays just like Wizardry.

Wow, absolutely nothing at all. I guess my time with the 3DS is done. I'll keep playing what I already have, unless SEGA 3D Classics comes out.

@Dysnomia You're the second person to assume that I have a Switch. Why?? Not everyone wants a Switch. Not every Nintendo user has a Switch.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th November (North America)
Nothing for me, but that seems to be expected these days. Nothing ever comes out anymore.
