@electrolite77 Don't worry, it'll be 2015

This brings back memories of watching Nicktoons and seeing the commercials for this.

Wonder why they aren't packaging both games together. The first one was good but the second game is much better.

Ok but are they atleast going to make upcoming games N3DS exclusive?

Underrated? Didn't this game sell over a million copies?

Would rather have De Blob 2.

@SimonMKWii Nah, Kanye has more sense than that.

So THQ Nordic will port this over, but not the De Blob duology from the Wii?

@NewAdvent You say that as if the Switch isn't a shoddy port magnet.

Still don't understand why CN feels the need to butcher great 90s and 00s cartoons.

It really annoys me when some indie developers show off their half-finished game, see the praise for it, and then get caught up and think the game is done.

If you want a polished indie(one man team) 3D platformer that looks professionally polished, look at Clive n Wrench.

@cerenzio That makes makes it extremely outdated.

Ugh. Late 00's resolution still being used in 2017.

Nintendo should've just lowered the price on the overpriced New 3DS models.

As a New 3DS owner for about a year now. I can confidently say that the headtracking-3D is the only worthwhile reason to opt for a New 3DS over any of the old ones (which are much cheaper than the 2DS XL, even the 3D models), and that's ONLY if you even care for 3D in the first place. I own around 40 games total and I can count on my fingers how many games I own that are virtually unplayable or inconvenient on old 2DS/3DS models without the extra processing power and buttons.

If I hadn't bought a New 3DS already. I would honestly opt for one of the old models that play 98% of the 3DS library just fine. Then put what I saved toward a Switch once 3DS VC is announced.

@GC-161 If you already own a 2DS/3DS, why would you proceed to purchase another one? I thought it was common knowledge that the New 3DS models weren't worth the upgrade anyway.

Just some 10 games take advantage of the extra horsepower, Pokemon S&M not included. Even fewer benefit from the additional analogue nub/triggers.

I'm not here to sell anyone on any gimmicky features, but the head-tracking 3D was the main reason I picked up a New 3DS (as my first 3DS) shortly before I got the Switch and to this day I find myself playing fewer games that utilize the extra features than I've used the 3D.
The other "benefits" are seldom used thanks to Nintendo not supporting any of the advertised features.

@GC-161 Virtual Console doesn't involve inserting physical cartridges into newer systems. That's the advantage.

I'll give you 4 seconds to explain how an outdated $150 Xenoblade Chronicles 3D machine is more bang for your buck than a Switch? Surely if you really were trying to save money, you would opt for for the vastly cheaper $80 model that plays 98% of 3DS games perfectly fine.

Nintendo's online service management is far from efficient, but someone with the cash to blow $130 extra on a bumped CPU+Xenoblade would surely have enough to spend on Switch VC anyway. You access to all future Switch games, plus (New) 3DS games, Wii, Wii U (possibly), GC and N64.

A New 2DS XL is not as powerful as a Switch, not nearly as inexpensive as the old 2DS model, and subtracts the 3DS's only distinction. Where is the value in that?

@GC-161 It's Called Virtual Console. And I give the Switch about 4 months before Nintendo announces 3DS games (including FE:E) on Switch and nullifies all New 2DS XL purchases.

You're playing on a screen several times larger than both 2DS screens combined, so I don't think formatting will be an issue.

There is also a much cheaper option called the 2DS phat. You can purchase it with couch change nowadays.

Completely pointless addition:

1.There is no need to buy any 3DS model in 2017.Period.

2.A New 3DS with No 3D effect means no valuable distinction from the Nintendo Switch. 3DS VC is around the corner. Anyone still buying 3DS hardware now will do so because they care about the 3D effect.

3.The upgraded hardware jacks the price up $70 over the original 2DS. Does the combined cost of $130 really justify Xenoblade 3D on N2DS?

Don't panic. The naked Inkling is a male. So that means It's ok.

Let's hope this doesn't become the next Zombi U for the Switch.

@bofis There is a virtual boy emulator on New 3DS with full speed, 3D and all. It just isn't official.

@roy130390 It has about as many units sold as the vita, yet companies are still releasing exclusive games for that thing.

Would it kill them to make it a new 3DS exclusive?

I believe the 3DS is the end of the line for dedicated handheld consoles. Nintendo will focus on the Switch, ditch the old 3DS because it's useless, and just keep the N3DS as a legacy console like the Vita so indie devs can release Unity games.

My tech is reggie.

Is there a reason this couldn't be New 3DS exclusive? This is the kind of game that would stand to benefit from stronger hardware.

Any news on Lifespeed racing game for New 3DS?

"Let's see if its superhero antics are closer to the Batman Arkham games or Superman 64."
Y'know. I feel like giving Superman 64 another shot after seeing this shovelware.

I guess all that bloated amateur code needed the extra oomph of the New 3DS.

@Seanmyster6 You should post that on TV tropes.

@MrWarner14 Him and Spyro.

I love how Pokemon is popular again exactly 10 years since the original games first came out.

Wow Nintendo. The NX is looking good!

No 3D = sub-HD on a PS4.

It's equally as preposterous.

... for our first two releases.

@CrazedCavalier The c-stick worked fine for me in resident evil. It's not the CPP, but it's works better than expected.

At least he still looks recognizable. Unlike the poor purple pyromaniac we all know and love.

@davidevoid Ikr

Yes! A release date and price point for a console with absolutely nothing publicly known about it aside from a codename.

@retro_player_22 The Vita is nowhere near PS3. Slightly stronger than Wii if anything with that 444MHz A9.

@Acein210 What's difficult about about an option to use the controller away from the console? How does that in any way affect the gameplay? Seems people just criticize everything companies do even when it's not relevant to their concern.

@skywake each core of the N3DS over 3x as powerful as the old model, owing to the overclocked CPU to 804MHz and an L2 cache of 2MB among other upgrades.

They should totally do Spyro next.

@liveswired Excelled? He's nowhere to be found in Skylanders storyline anymore. He's as dead as Crash is.

Obvious April fools is obvious.

@Romeo-75 The best looking game on 3DS was Ironfall, imh. But RE looked good too.

The Wiimote seriously gave the N64 competition for the worst "controller" Nintendo has ever forced players to use. And I honestly didn't think it could get any worse than the lizard-claw trident.

A simple back up standard controller would've been thoughtful. Or at least make sure games supported the pro controller.

@Nintendian check Weeman studio's website.

@PlywoodStick But according to homebrew developers. PSP still has choppy sound, while the o3DS does it almost flawlessly.

@RupeeClock SMW already runs a 60fps on o3DS on homebrew emulators.

@AVahne PSP runs SNES games like trash. What are you even on about?

I pasted a piece of textured rubber on mine months ago, and now I'm 360 no-scoping targets in RE:R lol.

I understand why Nintendo didn't go with a full circle pad, it just wouldn't work on the New 3DS, and a pointer stick is a good enough replacement. But what I don't understand is why they just slapped a small, cheap piece of plastic that doesn't protect the internals from sweat and has no grip to it like even laptop nubs.

@BinaryFragger
Let's not go praising Sony for their awkward wobbly tooth picks either. I've played the Vita extensively and, while brilliant in concept, it's still one of my least favourite features in execution.
