About time the 3DS is getting a FPS. Sheeesh! This one is one to keep an eye on. Heard good things about their previous FPS games, so here's hoping they use the 3DS capabilities to its max. As far as the multiplayer goes, i really don't mind it not having it. I do hope that it has the focused single player mode along with a skirmish/combat training mode where you battle bots. Or a survivor mode...that would give the game replayability far beyond the single player campaign.
Day 1 buy for me, my first actual purchase from the eShop if it comes to the US. Would like to see Out Run, Afterburner, Alex Kidd and others that i can't remember...
Day one buy for me. Just hope this is true and the CPP is compatible. NintendoLife, please update this story once you hear if it is true or false. Fingers and Toes crossed!!!
@Golden-Darkness I have a job but i'm still staying up to watch. I'm feeling some news on Animal Crossing 3DS, maybe even a new game on Metroid...that there would be worth it.
I'm staying up for it as i already usually stay up till 11:30pm anyways. I think it'll be worth it seeing that E3 showed games we had already seen besides Castlevania. I'm watching it on my Kindle Fire while in bed.
I'm going to the one in Dallas on July 14th. I live in a suburb of Dallas, just 15min away from the Gexa Energy Plaza where the event will be held. WooHoo...StreetPasses here we GO! Does anyone know if there is a fee to get in?
Here it is, straight from the Heroes of Ruin website. Looks like NA will get the demo at a later date.
"HEROES OF RUIN DEMO OUT IN EUROPE THIS WEEK Demo available from Nintendo 3DS eShop tomorrow 6th June 2012
Do you have what it takes to be a hero? We’re not talking about just any old hero either, but a Hero of Ruin? Well, wonder no longer - from tomorrow you will be able to find out for yourselves when the Heroes Of Ruin demo launches on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in Europe.
Not had a chance to go to E3 2012 and feel like you’re missing out? Not to worry, we’ve got you covered – the demo on the eShop has the exact same content as that which E3 attendees will be getting to play on the show floor.
The demo gives you two classes to choose from, the wily Gunslinger and the noble Vindicator, both of which you’ll be able to customize to your heart’s content. However, to quote some venerable ancient wisdom, “it’s dangerous to go alone!” so we hope you’ll be pleased to hear that the demo supports drop in/drop out co-op multiplayer over both Local and WiFi for up to four players.
The demo’s quest takes place within the Elder Forest, so called from ancient times when the spectral Elders of the forest called this area home. Whether you have your Hero rush forwards to meet their destiny, or go off the beaten path and engage in side-quests, all depends on your play style as an adventurer in the world of Veil.
We’ll be posting some helpful hints for the European demo later on this week and we’ll be sharing more information about the North American demo at a later date."
I'm so jealous right now. This is the next game i'm thinking of getting and was going to wait on reviews from different sources. A demo would convince me otherwise even before reviews. Please bring to NA soooooooooooooooon!!!
Might be true, wouldn't be surprised. Although if they did announce a bigger 3DS tomorrow, I would imagine that it would also have the second circle pad already built in. I personally would not shell out another $250 for basically what i already have. I love my compact 3DS and don't really mind the Circle Pad Pro that i already have. I'll wait till next years redesign and then might consider upgrading.
That is such a cool idea. Could they maybe do a system update and add this to the already existing AR games that came included with the 3DS? Or would they make us pay for a whole new app? We'll play the waiting game i guess...
Not for me afterall. Don't like these type of anime, cartoony looking games. I'll wait for a real FPS or TPS hopefully for the holidays. COD 3D anyone?
@hendie001 I too had to wait a long time to finally find one at Gamestop. They finally told me to come back on a Tuesday as that is when their shipments came in. So i went the following Tuesday and they said they had only received three CPP's and only had one left, which is the one i bought. Keep your hopes up, you'll find one eventually.
I for one am enjoying the circle pad and even the circle pad pro. I don't think i'd want the little snub sticking out. I do hope the redesign has both circle pads embedded into the system though. Not complaining about the circle pad pro, just saying. If only the circle pad pro were compatible with all games already released for the 3DS, i wouldn't even take it off the system. Unfortunately, i have to keep swapping when going from RE:Revelation/MGS3D to MK7/NFS:TheRun.
@James Thanks, yeah, that forum is where I got most of my friends list from. I've got about 10 spots left to fill up to the max 100. I'll look for your FC on that forum. If you care to add me, my FC is 1805-2174-4646. I'll have to add you later when i get home though as i cant do it now cause i'm at ...
@James I know this isn't the place for this but, how can we exchange Friend Codes to play online? Or do you only exchange with close friends? Maybe your FC is already filled to the max 100. Just checking...would like to have you in my Friends list. I understand if that's not possible.
This is a definite buy for me. I love the fact that the stages will never be the same no matter how many times you go back and play it. That's awesome replayability in my opinion. Also the drop in/out gameplay for up to four players. Plus voice chat when online and streetpass/spotpass included. Also, i want to support n-Space as they've made the awesome portable titles of Call of Duty. Here's hoping they release a CoD title for 3DS as well. Can't wait to get this!
I'm still waiting for n-Space to announce a Call of Duty title for this fall on the 3DS. They do have one unannounced title for 3DS coming for this fall on their Facebook page. Fingers crossed!
@James Yup, you are absolutely right IMO. I just get frustrated that when its a Nintendo product that is doing poorly, a lot of people start saying "i told you so". But when it's a Sony product, its more like "its doing good and as we expected". Just compare the remarks between the two consoles from when they started out. I for one hope the PSVita turns around because it does have lots of potential. And with titles that interest me like FPS, i might even consider getting one, at the right price that is.
Wowza! And to think that a couple months ago everyone (mostly) was considering the 3DS dead in the water. Seems everyone was WRONG!!! I was expecting the PSVita to be a good competition but seems like the PSVita is the one dead in the water now huh? But then again, you don't hear that kind of talk for a Sony product. Boogers! Strange how i haven't heard any numbers on the PSVita for the USofA...
Definitely more to come! I really do like the CPP, even though it adds to the bulk of the system. I hope that more first and third party FPS are on the way because of it. Some i wish to see are Call of Duty, Metroid, Conduit, a Fallout style game, etc. 3DS has far exceeded what i expected when i first got it. A great first year and better things to come i'm sure in its second year of life. Keep on gaming 3DSers!!!
I haven't gotten anyone yet. Oh well, maybe by this afternoon. I got my 3DS day one and only paid $60 for it since i traded in my old PSP, 6 PSP games and like 2 DS games. I don't regret trading in my PSP and would do it again if i had the PSP Vita. HA! 3DS has been awesome in my opinion, far exceeding the DS and DSi. It's going to be a great 2nd year for 3DS with titles such as Heroes of Ruin, Luigis Mansion 2, Animal Crossing and hopefully a Call of Duty game in the fall. GAME ON 3DSers!!!
Yes sir, i'll be checking in today also, maybe they'll release it early like other times. Been waiting for this demo just like RE:R a few weeks back. Depending on the demo, might be a day one buy for me along with the CPP.
Got the game yesterday. And all i can say is that it has all that i wanted in a racing game. I haven't tried out online yet. Anyone want to exchange friend codes to play online sometime?
Yeah, MK7 has tons more options and modes, etc. But this is more of a true racing experience with real cars and real circumstances (cops chasing you down). That's what i like in a racing game. Plus, you can be the cop in some of the challenges. To me, you can't compare a Mario Kart racing game to a NFS racing game. Anywho, if you have this game, lets exchange FC's and race online.
@Joshers744 For me, i think it'll be Yoshi's Island. When i had my GBA, i always wanted to buy it but no stores would have it available. Now i get my chance to play it. Can't wait...
@Joshers744 Same here, hope it's ready to download in 4hrs for when i get home. Plus i bought the 3D Classic Xevious from the Club Nintendo site for 100 coins. Got the code to redeem my download. Will do that first and then check for GBA goodness.
I was thinking of not getting this one until i read the review and saw the first level being played by IGN Entertainment. It looks just too AWESOME!!! I only wish it had more online options.
I've been waiting for news of an upcoming FPS for the 3DS. I really thought Activision was going to have n-Space develop COD for it this year. Maybe next year. But @pixelman brought up a good point. I would buy "day one" from Gameloft: Modern Combat 3(their version of Modern Warfare) or even N.O.V.A. (their version of Halo). I was actually looking at purchasing for my ipod touch yesterday but thought better of it.
@I-U I read on the official nintendo uk site that the Raid mode will be global online, local online and solo. So yeah, according to them, we can go at it alone, not sure if there will be a CPU helping, but at least you can take them on yourself.
@Skogur I wouldn't worry too much about the framerate, i haven't really noticed any, even with a bunch of enemies on screen and stuff exploding in the background.
I completely agree. If you're a RE fan, pick this one up. I have the original RE:DeadlySilence for the DS and this one knocks it out by a long shot. No comparison to any other portable game. Actually it compares to the RE games of the gamecube remakes, remember those?
I've been playing the game since last night when i got it. Just played it a few minutes ago during my lunch break. I saw no glitches, hiccups, slow framerate or anything that some reviewers have been complaining about. The game is absolutely awesome and addicting. Graphics are just beautiful.
I'm a fan of handhelds, but i played Sims 2 on Gamecube and couldn't put it down. Just the fact you can build your own house, customize it, and the furnish it...that in itself kept me up hours. That's besides keeping up with the story, challenges, social talks with neighbors, etc, etc, etc...
Handheld Sims are also pretty good, especially since you can take your sim on the go. Think i'll take out my sims 2 on ds and play it tonight. On this, you run a hotel with a casino, paint studio, (make)music club, etc etc etc.
Check out some reviews at IGN, Gamespot and others.
Well it's about time EA !!!!!! I've been waiting for this anouncement since the game came out on PC. I have a MAC, but rather play it on DS and/or Wii. Hope they have details at E3 this year on the game.
Is thorium Wars really all that good? IGN gave it a low score. Said it was the same drones over and over. Same music, bout it. Didn't buy cause of the IGN review.

Re: Renegade Kid's Upcoming FPS Will Focus On Single Player

Re: Space Harrier 3D Is Real, Hits Japanese 3DS eShop Next Week

Re: Rumour: SEGA Looking To Bring Classic Titles To 3DS eShop
Awesome if this is true! Day one buy for me. I also agree with some of the other titles above:
-Alex Kidd
-Afterburner (Day 1 buy)
-Outrun (Day 1 buy)
