@dkxcalibur I'm not too sure about a lack of depth, but in terms of control and physics it has tremendous depth. Only those who got into the games, and those who were actually good at playing them can understand this. It was so much more than just a pretty face. I hope one day Nintendo re-visits the series.
@dronesplitter You misunderstand me. That's an impressive technical achievement, without a doubt. All that aside it's still a massive drop in framerate. That's really all I was saying. Perhaps you'd get used to a 50% drop in framerate, but I won't, and I doubt that I ever would.
The developer is the one who dropped the ball, and Nintendo is the one who removed the game, so blaming the guy who found the exploit is just stupid. Almost as stupid as some of the absurd crap being spouted by so many butt-hurt sheep in these comments.
And this instance isn't about piracy, period. Feel free to cry about piracy when it actually happens, as I'm sure many of you can't wait to do. Let me know and I'll send you a box of tissues in preparation for the big day.

@Windy Man, if you are a 3D nut, then go on and buy a New 3DS. I was still happy with my original system but the New one is just awesome. This is what the system should have been from the very start. I simply can't think of anything negative to say about it.
"...that most beloved of expensive toys, the quadcopter."
Yeah, they are certainly fun, and they can be expensive but not always. But, "the most beloved"? No, they really aren't.
@MetaSmasher Ok, if it isn't free-to-start, or even a demo, then what is it?
IMO it's as advertised. You're complaining about something that was free. I just can't understand that mentality.
@Windy Ever consider that those negative points in the conclusion are what kept it from getting a score higher than 8?
I'm not trying to give you a hard time but, what does Cube Creator have to do with this game, aside from being reviewed by the same person?
Games should be reviewed on their own merit, and I don't think a reviewer should factor in a score given to an unrelated game. I do recognize though that game reviews are both objective and subjective at the same time.
That's just my opinion, but I do also respect yours
On the whole, the G.G series of games is really great. They're not just great for the money, but great period. I've purchased 6 of them in the last half-hour, and am looking forward to trying them all tonight.
@Kirk Yeah, I don't know why some of the G.G games have game play footage and others don't. I most likely won't purchase without some video, even if they're only $2. I'll just add them to my Wishlist and wait and see if a video is ever added.
@abwx I could be wrong, but I don't think the improved CPU of the New 3DS will have any bearing on the performance, unless this game was coded to take advantage of it.
Maybe someone else with more knowledge could clear this up, as I'm curious myself.
@RegalSin I have no clue what your point is. CD-ROMS and 56k modems.....uhm....yeah I have no idea. And you go from 1 to 3 to 4 to 7.....I'm at a loss for words.
@rjejr IMO it's really not a demo in the traditional sense, unless you choose to not purchase any or all of the other parts, then it effectively becomes one. I'm not fond of the "Free-To-Start" term, but that seems to me like the most accurate description of what it really is, just like Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, which btw is a great game.
@MetaSmasher Nothing here is being misrepresented. An insufficient amount of free content (in your mind), and you not finding it fun doesn't constitute false advertising.
@Stu13 You'd think the line "Wake up and smell the FREEDOM" would be a pretty good indicator of sarcasm. lol
@Miyamotoo Huh? We have enough SNES games? 3DS doesn't have ANY SNES games.
@sketchturner You might be content, but us 3DS users have no reason to be.
I'd prefer to play SNES on my 3DS, but for now the only way I have to play SNES on a handheld is with emulators on my PSP and Vita.
@Einherjar I would like to point out that you regularly behave in the same manner you're ridiculing Yorumi for behaving.
@mushroomer This isn't "excess inventory". These are consoles that, for whatever reason, were returned to retailers and then sent back to Nintendo. They then fix them, clean them, or whatever, and then sell as refurbished. It's not indicative of the system being a failure or Nintendo being desperate, as a couple people here seem to think.
@Gubbie Actually, I don't believe "that's what batteries do". The capacity to size to weight ratio is what it's about. For a given capacity, today's cells are smaller and lighter than yesterday's were.
Anyways, I think the bulk of this 3DS battery is due to the manufacturer using so many cells to achieve extended run time, and that's pretty much it.
With the rate of battery development being what it is, I don't think it will be too long before a battery with the capacity of this one will fit into the 3DS.
Having said all that, $90 is complete bulls**t.
