@Metal_Slugger When you ordered eShop Yen cards from playasia did they just send you a code via email? Or did they ship you a physical card?

@Tempestryke Apparently, and amazingly, Sunsoft just... still exists as an independent entity. Surviving the lean years on Pachinco and mobile games. Considering the fates of so many early NES developers/publishers its quite a feat to survive and be unmerged to this day and age.

Who owns Sunsoft these days?

Of all HDmakes, this was one I expected the least.

It seems to be very VERY finger print prone.

Well f--k. One of the things I wanted to do day one was play Super Mario Kart 2-player with my co-workers.

Definitely going to want a 128GB SD card for the switch if BotW is anywhere near typical for digital downloads on Switch. 32GB sure won't cut it for long.

@Carlos1996 I thought the demo looked great in 3D myself. Good sense of depth, without going crazy. Text overlays on the correct plane, etc. I'm on a New 3DS thou.

I ended up playing the demo of this last night by chance, and it's rocketed up my 'must buy' list based on presentation alone. It's so... Crisp.

Honestly my only hang up is its really creepy female designs, of both over the top endowments and lolli varieties. So skeevy.

@jessejamez7166 Devil Survivor is a turn based strategy spin-off of the main SMT line. While it has a lot of which makes SMT great, its not really a great example of what SMT is really about. I'd get SMT IV myself for the better intro to SMT as a whole.

$10 for Devil Survivor Overclocked is nut! And really tempting even though I already have a physical copy.

The fact that Kemco continues to exist in 2015, and appears to be pumping out games are an extraordinary rate (on Mobile), never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah, a single programmer probably should be making 60k a year.

The mistake these Kickstarter guys make is getting too ambitious with their minimal funding goals. $60,000 is a good chunk of change to build a decent sized proof-of-concept game. Build an overworld an a solid dungeon and call it. Act 1' and then follow it up with another Kickstarter or find a publisher to back you. Don't try to make a 10 or 20 hour game on a shoe string. You're doomed to failure.

Is it worth playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate now that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is a thing?

@Windy That does seem like a massive over sight for a game boasting 3 vs 3 multiplayer as a selling point.

Those A/B buttons are in the worst possible position. Everybody knows you have to put the A/B buttons in the X/B positions on a diamond button layout for proper comfort when playing 2 button games.

Why. Is. It. Not. On. 3DS?!

@ALinkttPresent Because game mods aren't actually illegal.

AGTP have given us translations of so many great and obscure games; Shin Megami Tensei (and II and if...), Metal Max, a pile of Super Robot Wars...

They are a god send.

@TheWPCTraveler Depends if it needs extra space for full voice acting. Which is the contributing reason to the 'Atlus Tax' (ei: why SMT IV, PQ, and Record Break are $50, and EO Mystery Dungeon was only $40)

Apparently the $50 price tag is due to the game's extensive voice acting requiring higher capacity game carts. Which is also why Persona Q and SMT IV were also $50, but EO Mystery Dungeon was only $40.

So... maybe folks should calm down about 10 more dollars?

@Henmii that's not what I heard, I heard it did better then expected in North America.

Project X Zone is a not very good game that I'm glad exists. I'm also glad a sexual may be happening. Hopefully it's better then the first.

And also involve Atlus characters!

So... Mario Teaches Typing scenario for a modern audience?

*laments that we never got Metal Max 4

Hope XSeed or Atlus gets on this for a NA release.

@LeeGarbutt oh wow, crossing my eyes does work. I can even see the 3D pretty well on my iPad. I wonder if it would be possible to monkey with the aspect ratio to get the proper aspect when you have yours eyes crossed...

Did somebody say Puzzle Platformer?

Yes Please!

@TobiasAmaranth Mother 3 had rhythm based action commands in the combat. It looks like may have been a bit more refined for this game.

This game looks really interesting. I fear it might be channeling Earthbound/Mother 2 a little too much. Mother 3 was such a fresh experience as a follow up. Going backwards seems like a really fan thing to do.

Its funny, I came down here to post a whole list of games I'd like to see. But then I realized... a lot of these are third party, or RARE. And people say the N64 didn't have 3rd Party Support...

Frankly all 5 choices here aren't too great. Maybe because I'm not that into racing games. And it would make more sense to make Pokemon Snap 2, instead of a port...

But I would kill for a Pilotwings game that was as expansive as Pilotwings 64. Resort was such a let down.

But if I could get one 3rd-party 3D remake... SPACE STATION SILICON VALLEY!

Get on it Rockstar!

I've been enjoying the demo for MH4U a lot, previously I tried the demos for MH3, but something never quite clicked. With the new 3DS's C-Stick the camera isn't as much of a fight any more.

That said I seriously wish this game had a proper lock-on system. Like Dark Souls (or Zelda, I suppose...). Its frustrating mashing L and trying to orient yourself constantly (and still have a lot of attacks whiff). And no real way to lock on to the little monsters that might harass you during a fight.

@andrew20 Its backward compatable with all DS games. EXCEPT the handful that require a GBA slot (like the Guitar Hero game). The ones with optional GBA interactivity still play.

Decided to early adopt primarily because I felt I could get the best value out of my 3DS XL trade in.

C-Stick is a serious game changer.

I didn't pick up any new releases, but I'm strongly leaning toward Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, the demo is pretty good.

@stevie123c When doing your transfer it probably notices the preinstalled game is there (and there is some coded indicator as such) which attaches itself to your account ID when it transfers over.

Is the second wireless transfer option just save data? How much time should that typically take if you have nearly 4GBs of game content? I don't mind re downloading all my eShop purchases on my own time. But I really need an efficient way to transfer at the place I'm trading in my old 3DS.

I'm amazed at how good the 3DS version looks. I legit think it looks better then the Wii. More sharp, less compression fuzz.

That is the GREATEST video game commercial I've seen in the last 20 years.

Look at all that GAMEPLAY.

After spending a little time with the demo I was shocked with how much nicer the graphics look on the hardware then any of the preview vidoes/images. I know the 3DS is quite lower res, but some games just do not look very good as screen shots for some reason.

I recently learned that many of the Hudson Soft NES titles had similar stage continue tricks.

All those years of fighting with The Adventures of Dino-Riki.

For nothing.

A $40 Atlus title? SHOCKER!

But... does it work? I literally don't know how it would. The Super Game Boy is literally the guts of an actually Game Boy shoved into a cart. An SNES circuit board doesn't have the means of playing a Game Boy ROM.

EDIT: Oh, he's soldering a GB circuit board to a Super Game Boy circuit board then cramming both circuit boards into an SNES cart. I guess that would work. But it seems like of... pointless.

Also, I just realized something... has Nintendo never releases a mainline Pokemon game on Virtual Console?

@KryptoKrunch That would be a good idea for a follow up. But you don't want to do to many Warriors games too quick. Those things can get old quick.

You mean like Splatoon and Wonderful 101?

I'm trying to think of another interesting combo they could go for... maybe something Super Robot Wars-esque from Bamco?

They really need to light a fire under Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. Bringing Majin Tensei back from the dead is some shape or form.

They've already got Pokefighters lined up for a... probably 3D fighter? Could probably use a 2D fighter too. Nintendo vs Capcom anyone?

And yeah, if any game is going to last up. Its gonna be this one.

What a great feature this 64x64 thing has been. N64 was probably the second most important console I ever owned behind my NES. It was the first console I got on release month (Christmas 96) and I followed its releases pretty rigorously throughout its lifetime. I still have all my original games, plus a whole pile of new ones I had missed. I still play it pretty often. Its library is often underrated compared to what the PS1 was putting out at the same time. But at the same time... it was so much more exciting then Sony's offerings. Maybe if its was a disc based system it could have edged out in the long run, but game carts have their own strengths (no load times here!).

A great console, from a great generation of gaming.

Where's the music stop button?

Sorry kid, but I don't think Nintendo wants to support a dead system.

That's unfortunate. I was really hopping for a decent side scrolling action game to distract me for a while. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

Farts.i like the 3d effect so much, not supporting it on the 3ds will often kill my interest in a game if it's missing. As it ultimately makes the game less graphicly impressive compared to its contemporaries.
