I used to create graphics for a local news station's website. the web producer would send me a request like "i need a 250 x 250 pixel picture of someone playing video games" i'd give them a picture, having no idea what the story was even about. that's probably how this happened. it's just a lack of communication between the writer, producer, and graphic artist. nbd.
what happened to last flight? i remember seeing articles on here for that around the time wiiware started but then i never heard anything about it actually being released.
it seems like i get one new piece out of every 10 pieces i buy with coins. at this rate it will be years before i finish the ones i already have. R.O.B. would be pretty cool though.
@Jamouse "sounds rubbish"? they don't even know what it is. they know nothing about it whatsoever. they just know 3 words have been trademarked. how can you possibly come to a conclusion that something sounds terrible when you don't have the slightest idea what it is?
this would be nice, but you can already get pretty much the same game for US PS2. I'd definitely prefer they localize fatal frame 4 over an update of fatal frame 2.
i have gotten used to the controls and I like them now. however, the only way I can comfortably play it is by using the 3ds stand at my desk or dining room table, which seems a little ridiculous to me since 3ds is supposed to be a portable console.
this is the ninth eshop game i've downloaded and my favorite so far. great gameplay, great graphics, nice variety of things to do-love it! highly recommended.
I got this game for my birthday-before i saw any reviews. the review is spot on. i actually thought the first level was fun, when i played in my house, but that's all you're allowed to play unless you take it to somewhere else with different wifi. worst idea ever.
i got this game for my birthday. it wasn't even possible to play because i live in an apartment. it kept telling me to walk further away. since i don't have a yard and our neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks, i would have basically had to wander the streets while holding the 3ds in front of my face in order to play.
I thought this game sounded really interesting. got it for my birthday. if you don't live in a giant house, don't bother. you have to walk really far to find ghosts. I live in an apartment, and the game is not possible to play in an apartment. it keeps telling me to walk further. so, the only way i could possibly play the game is to wander around the street with the 3ds in front of my face.
wait, so in europe you get points for registering games that aren't made by nintendo? in the U.S. club Nintendo you can only register first party games.
this game is not just retro looking, it's ugly. most SNES games from 20 years ago beat the graphics on this one......still, looks aren't everything, and the gameplay does sound interesting and unique.
looks like it would fit right in with the art style series. since getting my 3ds i have all but forgotten about wiiware, but this title might convince me to get back on the wii shop.
this sounds completely stupid to me if it is true. nintendo is releasing star fox, mario, pokemon, and kid icarus games for the holiday season. The plan seems to be get out all of these games with massive appeal before christmas which will in turn sell many 3ds consoles before christmas....if they announce a 3ds redesign is coming next year no one is going to buy a 3ds or the corresponding games as christmas presents-they will wait until the redesign.
@James the announcement from nintendo says this about the NES games: "Once the paid versions of the games are posted to the Nintendo eShop later in the year, the updated versions will be available to Ambassadors for download at no cost." my question is: how will the ambassador versions be different from the paid versions? maybe at first we will get them in 2D but when they are made available they will be 3d classics?
I'm pretty sure Sega's "Feel The Magic XY XX" from way back in 2004 has permanent save data. I bought it used and everything in the game was already finished, couldn't figure out any way to erase it.
instead of dark and gloomy its bright and cheery, instead of staying in the light you have to stay in the shadows, but it sounds like it is esentially the same game.

Re: Review: Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?! (DS)
5-7 hours? took me less than 4. if it was $10 it would be well worth it but it's difficult to justify a $30 purchase.
Re: Nvidia Unveils the Daunting Project Shield
looks a little thick for a portable device. more like a small home console. don't really see this as 3ds competition.
Re: Review: Gunman Clive (3DS eShop)
this game is just fantastic. can't believe it's only $2. if you own a 3ds I highly recommend it.

Re: Nintendo: There's No Such Thing As Too Much Mario
@BudDudSlash "New Super Mario Bros 2 contradicts this entirely."
exactly. i played it from beginning to end and i certainly don't see how it in any way fits "unique, different and offers something new."

Re: Peek Between Your Fingers at a Project Zero 2 Trailer
i'd much rather have a NA release of Fatal Frame 4 than a remake of an old game I've already finished.

I sold my game gear about 10 years ago, but I have fond memories of the Taz game.
