Re: Video: Meet The Main Composer Behind The Streets Of Rage 4 Soundtrack

@ramu-chan Dotemu's statement:

"Yuzo Koshiro's schedule is quite busy and he couldn't jump into this project as Lead Composer due to schedule incompatibility and we can't and won't blame him for this. But his contribution to the project is quite significant with several tracks like the main theme of the game. Same goes for Motohiro Kawashima. We also jumped on the opportunity to bring a fresh and modern vision to the project by bringing Olivier Deriviere in."

Track list is also out. Yuzo Koshiro did 5 tracks.

My current New 3DS XL is probably my most valuable possession. I have over 200 games downloaded on it and some I've barely even touched. I still plan to get games for it and would gladly see Nintendo announce some new ones. I enjoy certain types of games on handhelds and 3DS is my choice for those over Switch because it's much more comfortable to hold and has a proper d-pad.

The graphics are turning me off somewhat. They're like the perfect uncanny valley of 2d art: not pixely enough to have the cool sprite look but not clean enough to have the beautiful anime look.

Now THIS is a great week, even though I already own many of the games on sale. I'll be getting the following at least:

*Year Walk
*Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
*Gunman Clive HD Collection
*Pokemon Sun & Moon Demo

I'll also consider Rhythm Paradise and Majora's Mask 3D.

@C-Olimar I did. Level design's not that good (excluding the VR challenge levels), the graphics are almost DS quality and that one motion controlled section is horrible, but the gameplay is really solid and the parrying mechanic is super satisfying and rewarding when you master it. I also like the soundtrack.

Gonna get Color Splash and Chase discount. Finally some use for the My Nintendo coins. That said, I wish Nintendo would do the same thing with their other games as with Fire Emblem Fates and allow the coins to be used for release discounts.

These next 2 are really important so please consider testing them:

1. Get the Stasis rune and leave the Shrine you found it in. Find a boulder in the overworld, charge it with kinetic energy and then grab it to see if Link goes flying with it.

2. Set a bomb, shield surf over it and detonate it at just the right moment to see if Link gets a boost or just gets knocked down.

Re: Round Up: First Mighty No. 9 Reviews Suggest The Wait Hasn't Been Worth It

Gamereactor has been a bit more merciful, giving it 8's and 7's depending on the region. The Finnish one (8) mentioned controls, level design and difficulty levels as pros. Cons were story, voice acting and sudden deaths.

I'm a bit regretful that I backed this, but I won't slay it 'till I play it. After all, there's many games I've enjoyed despite mediocre review scores.

Re: Poll: Are You Ready to Download More of Your Retail Games From the eShop?

Garo

IIRC, I haven't bought physical games since 2012. The convenience and quickness in finding and starting the game you want is just too big of a pro for me. You can also easily keep all your games with you when traveling and the game boxes don't take up precious shelf space. Having a digital game could of course be a bother if you find yourself unhappy with your purchase, but for me that's so rare that I'm willing to take the risk.

Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2016

Zero Time Dilemma is my most anticipated. Second would be Federation Force. I was kinda excited for PXZ2, EO2, Bravely Second and Fates at one point, but they just seem so similar to the previous iterations that I can't help but think "why bother". Plus, I've already blasted through the best part of the first three, the soundtrack.

Any info on if/how the Friend Vouchers work in this version of Trilogy? I never got around to unlocking all the extras so I'm wondering if I could do it with this downloadable version.
