The cheezy voice acting is great IMO, its like watching an intentionally B movie where you just can't help but laugh at it. Really gives the game a non serious attitude. The main character himself was intended to be a more laid back goofy version of LInk.

Anyway, its the ground section controls I'm worried about. This game is a perfect candidate for the Frankenstick attachment and hopefully it does support it because I don't see any article that says it will. I'll get getting the game none the less, those arial sections look great, especially in 3D

Wait, it supports the frankenstick? Where does it say it will support it, got a link? Because if it does, this game gives me an incentive to buy the extra circle pad, aside from monster hunter. One of my highly anticipated handheld 2012 titles for sure, can't wait for this to come out.

I certainly loved the part in Ocarina of time where you play a certain song in front of Darunia and how Link reacts to this afterwards. It was priceless and I was just smiling the whole time.

Metroid II? Haven't played this game in ages, now is the perfect time to finish the game. Will be there at 12 sharp

I thought this would score low, but I'm happy to know that it fared well for you. I was interested from the start, but was put off due to some previews. I'm in need for a Ninja gaming fix after playing the Strider series years ago, so I'll be looking into getting this game later next year.

Just saw some videos some weeks ago and I'm already Hyped!
The possibilities _{in creating your character} are Endless! Will definitely get the game for the novelty alone.

A DS/gba and a Playstation 3 is all I need for the ultimate Resident Evil/Castlevania-marathon to keep me company this season. Can't wait to get back to all the retro creepiness that I cherished years ago. Also, This would be the perfect opportunity to complete Dead Space 2. I will stay up all night just for the occasion come 10/ 31.

Great read guys, Castlevania is one of the most consistent series from Konami IMO (The 2D games as far as I'm concerned.) As a whole, I'd consider the metroidvania titles to be better than the classic ones, with the only exception of Rondo of Blood, which I believe was the series' peak. I just hope Konami continues the tradition of releasing 3 games for the 3DS.

I'll take them all. Never played Kid Icarus, played only half of the Kirby gba remake, and that Swapnote seems like the much awaited messaging system with added features, plus those extra 3DSware games look great. I just need all their release dates. Its a shame though that we didn't get much details on the Gba ambassador games.

Getting a Diablo vibe from this, and if this game can at least be half as good or at the very least, be as good as the Crystal Chronicle(DS) games with a decent online experience, I will be all over it.

I'm really hyped for this game, and hopefully Level-5 has the heart to put this out overseas. It is currently my #1 most wanted. From what I can make out, this is an Simulation/RPG with 20 different ways to play. Fighting monsters as a soldier or tilling your crops as a farmer, I can't wait to hear more on the other jobs.

My favorite was always Rondo of Blood or Darcula X if you may, Followed by Order of Ecclesia, then Symphony of the Night, then Portait of Ruin and then Aria of Sorrow. Only played the first level of Super Castlevania and it was great, too bad I don't have a Snes anymore.

I've been noticing a trend on the release of Castlevania games on the Nintendo Portables, 3 games each system, I hope this continues on the 3DS, or maybe the Vita, be it Classic-style, 3D-style or metroidvania-style Castlevania I'm buying it no matter what.

I played the first game, and while I didn't find it nightmare inducing at all, it really gave me alot of tension, anticipating whether or not a zombie might pop out of the next room. The Eerie Music really added to the atmosphere and gave me the chills back then. I'm currently in the police station in RE2, and I really hate those Lickers, especially in the interrogation room.
The only part in Re4 I would consider scary, are the Regenerators/Iron Maidens, the rest of the game is purely shock-value to me, which isn't a bad thing. That Dr. Salvador really caught me off-guard the first time I fought him, I wil never forget that part.

Looking forward for this game since it was announced previously for the DS>3DS. I'm pretty excited for the Level-5 conference this weekend, can't wait to see more of these titles.
One thing I'm gonna miss though is the Beautiful Spritework. A least we all have London Life... _wait

This game just keeps on getting better everytime I see it. Can't wait to see more, now if they will just announce the Cape/Yoshi, it will be god-like.

What a shame, but at least it isn't as bad as I feared it to be. But I still hate that there are cheap deaths. As long as it surpasses the PSone game, I might look into it when it's available for trade.

Excellent! Just played this on my friend's PC and I will definitely get this. The eshop is in dire need of new software. The wait will be hard as this game is difficult.

Day one for me. Every RE games I've played were all solid titles, and this game looks to be no exception. The boxart looks "different" though, but its growing on me. Hopefully this doesn't disappoint.

Different strokes for different folks. I personally found it to be on par with the original GB game. They may be short in length, but it never gets old. I can finish them three times straight, and I would still find it amusing. And to the people who think $4 is expensive, really? It's similar to buying 2 cups of coffe from Starbucks, what's there to lose?

@15 Twinbee definitely is the more approachable game, even for newcomers. More appeal, better gameplay, better 3D, has actual powerups, cheaper price, and it is more forgiving in terms of difficulty. Thats not to say I didn't enjoy Xevious(a solid 8 for me), if you have the extra money, you could bite into xevious if you don't mind the dated gameplay.

Spot on review. I really like the game, it has quite a nice sting to it.

Option D is likely. They did say they have no plans "at the moment" so its possible they are buying time. They wont release them now though, the GB games need to sell first. Though I do want the big N to pick up the pace, where are our Gamegear and Turbografx VC titles you announced months ago?

I will get Twinbee since my 3DS is in need of more shmups and nothing else.
@Waveboy Well the best part of 3D classic Urban champ for me was the 3d effect (best 3D out of the 3 games imo), and I certainly enjoy it from now and then, but this game can get monotonous. Just make sure you know what you're getting from this game.

Well, the exclusion of online leaderboards and multiplayer doesn't bother at all, (No one I personally know owns a 3ds) and since I'm more of a handheld gamer and don't have a Wii I'll be getting this for sure even if it does have some framerate issues. This will look Glorious in 3D.

Will get megaman since I lost my GB cartridge collection years ago. Hopefully I still have skills to beat this game, but hey, save states make everything easier. Capcom better release the other games, but looking at their WiiVC releases, I'd have to wait another year to play the second one

Ace Attorney and Yoshi's Island, two games that will make me fall in love again with the 3DS, I really hope they are true. But since AAI2 was never released outside Japan, I won't hold any hope for this series aside from Ace Attorney vs Professor Layton.

Never played the games and I like to play my games at the palm of my hands so Saga wins. I'll have to look at the 3D first of course.

Sounds interesting, as if you were in the game itself. I want to hear more details before I make any decision, but so far I'm looking forward to the completion of this game. I just hope that it will be released outside of Japan.

Downloading now. I'm looking forward to play them on the go. Half of these games I never finished back in the day and the other half I never even played. Now would be my chance.

Never played half of those games and never had the chance to complete the ones I've played way back. Now's my chance. Can't wait to to get all of them, Metroid and LoZII especially.

According to the conference, this game will be released near the end of this year. It may not be the open world 64-esque Mario sequel I was hoping for, but after watching the trailer I find this game even better than I hoped it to be. Well, I guess I know when I'll be purchasing the 3DS _{and the Vita} . Can't wait!

It may be 12 in the morning for me and I do have to get to my college in the morning, but I'll be here all night. This will all be _hopefully worth it. Please Nintendo, Don't disappoint!

Good review Corbie. I'm glad that the game had a lot of depth in terms of gameplay, but shamefully the content lacked depth. I guess the developers didn't have enough time to cram more content to this game before launch. I may get this, but only when the price drops, or if it was made as a 3dsware title when I get the 3DS in the future.

Well as long as the eshop has a significant improvement over its predecessor, then I'm fine with it. I hope it will be somewhere nearer to the PSN/Live than the wiiware/dsiware I'm satisfied.
@3 Don't you mean Shantae, DS games wont be available as far as I heard.

Thanks for the review. Glad to know almost every content from the console versions made it here. Even if I don't get the 3DS on launch, I'll be getting this game since I loved playing it on the arcade and I don't have it on the PS3. Also, I really can't wait to get my hands on the limited edition lenticular boxart.

Of the three launch lineups, this one is probably the best one. And since my country's Game stores usually associate with the US market, I'd expect the same launch games to come here. And since our price is approximately $70 more than the US, I guess its not a bad Launch at all.

So far I'm interested for SF43D, PW:R, Steel Diver, Rayman and probably LEGO Star Wars3 or Nintendogs for the siblings.

So nintendo does care about us... * _sniff *
Anyway these bits of news made my day and can't wait to try out RE and Mario. I won't consider getting the 3DS in the first few months after the release (due to financial issues) but the wait will be killing me.

I'm one of those people who are bad at chess yet I find this game decent. It is not by any means a shovelware game, but it's not great either. It does what it's supposed to do and does the job adequtely,(the anime portraits aren't and music that bad). for 200 points, its a must have for the chess players but still decent for others since it's cheap and supports download play. A 6 out of 10 for me.

@34
Well the PSP go was basically a smaller PSP that's digital download only(no UMD's) to prevent piracy. People got upset because the price was too much for them for a psp with not enough changes to justify it's high price, and the other versions are below $150.

The 3DS though Is a different beast compared to the DS, Its not a revision but a successor. Would you expect to get a Handheld that sports a impressive 3D screen and an improved touch screen, 3 cameras, Motion sensors, etc. to be at the same price as the DS?

RUMOR. This game uses motion control to jiggle the mammaries of the fine lady fighters.

As much as I like fighting games, I am not that perverted enough to want this game. But, if it has awsome gameplay, then...

I'm looking forward to getting this, but I wonder, Is there a Dragoon job? I really like that class.

@13 Actually the fourth game was released in japan months ago. It was called Layton and the Devil's Flute. It is a prequel to the 1st three layton games and hasn't been announced for a US release

Dam... I try to resist this feeling, but I can't hold on any longer... My urges are growing for every new game announced for this handheld. Please, my wallet can't take any more punishment.

Yes, YESSS!
Starfox, Zelda, Kingdom hearts, etc. And now this! Now this is playing with power. Hopefully the 3DS is Better at person.

The game TRULY deserves that score. The game would have been a 10 for me if it wasn't for the Pink levels, they are an eye strainer and the controls that take some getting used to. Everything else was executed flawlessly making this 9 in my opinion.

I'm down for more old school RPG's. It may have a generic plot, a dated combat system and random battles that are not so great for others, but that's what makes it good for me since I'm a fan of the genre. I'll get this when my budget is enough.

I expected this to be decent being 128 blocks, The biggest game at the shop as of now, So I guess this game is for me, a point and click adventure puzzle game.

Wow, I can see the effort put into making both this and the flashlight app, the devs must have worked so hard. Anyways, I thought Reggie said that the big N chooses quality over quantity.

I recently got a chance to play the original X The first 3d shooter game on the gameboy, and it was great for a gameboy game . Too bad it was japanese though, I couldn't understand what I was doing at first until after an hour. I am considered sold on this sequel. Please make it 500 pts, please...

This news makes me anticipate the 3ds more so. This could be a breakthrough in gaming history, but I'll still wait for it to be revealed in public before making any hasty judgments. But still, I excited to see the outcome of this.
