Re: Up to 20 SEGA Games Could be Available on 3DS by Next March

Kriedler

List me as one of the lovers of F-Zero GX

I'd kill for another good F-Zero game.
The only complaints I had were the terrible soundtrack and the cheesy story (and the attack button mapping was better on the 64 X), but the track design was awesome, the graphics were incredible, and the game was stupidly fun
But BRING BACK THE DEATH RACE :@

Re: Nintendo Announces eShop Update for 6th June

Kriedler

This is really disappointing. It had better be an impressive shop with a good selection of games. And passable friend interaction. And a good browser. I was patient enough when they announced (a little late) that it wouldn't be day one, but now I'm feeling like I got screwed by getting their system at launch.

Re: DSi Firmware Gets an Update

Kriedler

Man, I wouldn't even care about the flashcart blocks if it weren't for the fact that it doesn't seem to do a lot else. I'm really hoping it's for the 3DS transfer tool, but until we get that confirmed, I'll just be protesting the update on principle
I know it probably won't hurt my system, but all those stupid black screens people have been getting on the 3DS make me nervous. Grr, the curses of update-able firmware

Re: DSi Firmware Gets an Update

Kriedler

Wasn't the last "behind the scenes update" just a flashcart blocker? That always pisses me off. Having been a Vista owner, I know that updating can be dangerous for you and your work and anyone around you when your system stops working. Then they update for something that doesn't benefit me in any way. Lame.
Anyways, yeah, this had better be the system transfer update
I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the eShop thing

Re: Rumour: Wii 2 has Blu-ray Drive, Controller Contains a Screen

Kriedler

I'll be pissed if Nintendo comes out with another console and it's only as weak as a 360. Seriously. Nobody will ever be able to shut the Sony fanboys up
Also, it still feels a bit soon after the Wii. I know it's been a few years, but I remember how long the NES and SNES were around. And the handhelds had long reigns, all of them

Re: Star Fox 64 3D Entering Japanese Airspace on 14th July

Kriedler

If I don't have it by the end of the month of July, people will get hurt. Same goes for Duke Nukem Forever. Anyways, I disagree about the rings being so hard to fly through. I could nail every one every time with no problems Though, I did play SF64 until my atomic purple controller broke
Whatever, though, this is a day 1 purchase for me

Re: Nintendo Uncertain Whether 3DS Demos will be Worth the Effort

Kriedler

@Phobos
Yeah, except for the occasional crapfest that's less than the sum of its parts. Assassin's Creed caught me with that one. Freeroaming? Check. Stealth? Check. Good controls? Check. Graphics? Never a selling point for me, but check. Gameplay? Slow, boring and repetitive. I essentially did everything there was to do by the end of the first mission. Lame. Feels like they dragged the game out more by making Altair climb at a snail's pace than by adding fun and interesting content.
This is why we have demos. I would have known after a half hour if it was a must-have or must-avoid.
Anyways, I've bought lots of games based on demos alone. Crysis 1 and 2 come to mind right off, and several other full-priced retail games, or Pokemon Rumble, Beat Hazard, and several smaller games. I don't know how much effort it takes to actually make a demo, but there have to be more people out there like me that like to know their money is going somewhere good.

Re: 3DS eShop's May Launch to Ensure it Beats Wii and DS Shops

Kriedler

Agreed with post #1. Once I can play my 15-20 DSiWare titles on my 3DS, I'll think about buying new stuff. I didn't get as much play as I could have out of many titles just because it was such a pain to transfer them out and back again on my DSi
Once I'm satisfied with money already spent, I'll spend some more

Re: Street Gangs Return in River City Ransom 2

Kriedler

Hope it's better than River City Ransom EX on the GBA Would have been way better if the save system wasn't so convoluted and iffy
Still, I hope this one will end up on the 3DSware. Seriously, with the other "River City-esque" games on the DS, this one would fit in well

Re: The 3DS Breaks... Nintendo's UK Preorder Record, That Is

Kriedler

How come all the Euro news is just based in the UK? I have no idea how it's going in Norway here, so I tried asking the place I had preordered if they could guarantee that they would have enough stock to get me one on launch day. Whoever replied was apparently illiterate and said something along the lines of: "WII HAVINT SENT URS YET BKOZ THE RELEASE DATE IZ THA 25TH YOU MORON UR NOT GITTIN IT B4 THAT!!1!"
:@
I sent them a lengthy and angry reply. Still haven't gotten an answer

Also, yeah, Ristar, agreed on the Game Gear
That was a big bonus for me

Re: 3DS Arrives at Nintendo Life

Kriedler

I'm glad you guys got 2 of the games I was going to buy at launch I'll be obsessively refreshing your site over the next week or so until I get reviews
But, no Shadow Wars?
I'm always the most anxious for reviews on the games you hear nothing about

EDIT: I need to learn game titles.

Re: Jet Force Gemini

Kriedler

One of my favorite games ever. I actually bought a PAL copy when I moved from NA to Norway, along with Perfect Dark and a few others. Two Rareware titles out of 5 retro purchases says something

Re: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars

Kriedler

I'll be getting it because it's made by the dudes that did X-com. Those guys know TBS games
I just pray for some kind of online or good support for this one so I don't beat it and leave it
