When this comes Europe to (hopefully sometime in the next six months) I am definitely getting this. I will get 3000 points, then buy this, Shantae, Cave Story and Aura-Aura Climber. So for £27, less than your average DS game, I can get four of the best DSiWare games and about 150 hours of content. Who said DSiWare has nothing to offer?
The DSiWare game was fantastic, with amazing content and the contsruction zone was awesome. If they can improve on Minis March Again, I'm getting this!
Fantastic. Just think how many downloaded games you can store on a 2GB SD Card. I already have about 20 games stored on my DSi 2GB SD Card, and it still says I have 9,999 blocks of space. This also removes the nuisance of having to copy and delete games when moving thm between the SD Card and System Memory. Is there anything the 3DS can't do?
The great thing about 3DS is that you can do things with games that you could never do before. StreetPass is a big addition to Street Fighter, so it should lead to other developers who previously worked on other consoles bringing their games to the 3DS, and making them even better than their console counterparts. Halo on 3DS, please.
This sounds like what Army Defender should have been. AD was fun but you couldn't play it in short bursts and the only thing to do was beat your scores.
I hate browsing the DSiWare shop. If I want a 500 point game I have to go through around 50 pages very slowly to get the game I want. So this is good to hear.
I remember the April Fools' Day trick. It was before I joined the site but I'd been visiting for ages. I got so happy, then I read the comments... I will never forgive you for that.
Anyways, hooray for Nintendo, can't wait to DL these games, blah blah blah.
Transferrable DSiWare means I can sell my DSi! And VH? Fantastic! Also, the Mii thing sounds great. Can someone please convert the price to British pounds please? I would be very grateful.
I would download this, but seeing as I can't pay for it myself and I'd feel bad downloading it for free, I might as well just wait until the game comes out.
I think it's slightly unfair that you have to get all the S Ranks to unlock the extra. I mean, it's a very difficult game, and we all paid the same for it.
Stop complaining, ungrateful Americans. At least you get new titles, all we ever get is old stuff or shovelware. To me this ain't a bad week, actually. Two interesting DSiWare game (Zenonia looks awesome), and the WiiWare doesn't sound half bad either. Sure, there's no VC, but look on the bright side. Remember, you don't have to wait long before Shantae.
I purchased MFC and I didn't like it, but this little reward might just make the 800 points I paid worth it. 1200 points seems pretty steep, but it's probably worth it.
@sillygostly I'm as shocked as you are. I find it despicable that we have to pay for this - I mean, this kind of thing should be built in, or at least free.
Finally, another actual game. One question though - who the hell would play their DS outside the Sydney Opera House (see picture)? The problem with augmented reality games is that no-one would play them outdoors.
