@EmmatheBest Nothing "needs" 3D, so I don't get your point. Seeing as how 3D is part of the system, it's a bit disappointing when new games come out for it that have no 3D implementation at all. I want every game to have 3D, it's not a matter of need.
lol Who gives a crap if game X is bigger than game Y, or if version A was smaller than version B? We now know how big this is going to be, which is the entire point of the article.
@Dipper723 There's no speech in the game, so I assume you're talking about text?
@hugo_octorok Yeah, as much as I wished to like this, being a rally fan, I hate to say the demo sucked big time. Bland graphics, floaty controls, a real shame.
@koochiekoo Why would you be so incredibly sarcastic and rude because someone expressed their feelings about what they hope doesn't happen? Sheeesh, that's rediculous.
@Blue-Thunder Chill out, he's just saying what he hopes doesn't happen. Last time I looked there wasn't a rule about not expressing an opinion or feeling unless it was all rainbows and puppy dogs.
@Cosats Wow. I don't even know what to say to that one. (See response to Blue-Thunder)
@gurtifus You're seriously citing this as proof and basing the stereotyping of an entire country based upon it? I'm assuming you aren't American, in which case you really aren't qualified to make such blanket statements about a foreign country and it's citizens. At least not any statement(s) that should be mistaken for fact.
@Spoony_Tech On my 3DS the brightness goes up when plugged in. I have it on 5 and when plugged in it gets even brighter. Mine is an ambassador system. I always have the brightness cranked all the way up, and plugged in whenever possible.
Ahhh, I guess you were speaking about an XL.
@Sforzando
"Six-year-olds whose parents who are aware of the eShop, and who have other six-year-old friends with 3DSes, who also bought the application..."
LOL Oh man, this thing is destined for an epic demise.
@WYLD-WOO I really can't understand how you could call Wipeout 2048 slow, and saying it has clunky controls and nonexistent gameplay is also something I strongly disagree with.
Usually it's the people that just aren't good at playing Wipeot who say these things. I routinely pull off perfect laps at the highest speed class. I couldn't do that with clunky controls. It just talkes a while to come to grips with the Vita's analog sticks and the contol of the ships. It's not easy, that's for sure, but I'm a Wipeout junkie so I stuck with it.
@Prime You want me to shut up? Ok, I'm gonna say...no. Telling me to shut up is taking things to a new level, one which I never went to with my comments. I could rage or insult you if I wanted, but I choose sarcasm instead.
You keep mentioning that I'M wasting YOUR time, yet you keep replying to me of your own free will. That's kinda.....well, dumb. I'm not calling you dumb, but your logic certainly is. Not to mention you've declared you're no longer going to reply....twice. lol
There's no set time limit for commenting on threads, so stop acting like there is, pal. This isn't a typical forum in which threads get bumped up when there's a new comment made. Try and wrap your head around the implications of that, pal.
Some people find sarcasm funny and a non-hostile way to react. Obviously you don't like it, but I really don't care. lol
If taking 3 minutes every other day to make a comment is wasting my life....I guess I've squandered 20 minutes of my life commenting on this article. How tragic. lol
You must be pretty emotionally fragile to be offended by everything I've said. Oh, and about me supposedly wasting your time, do you think I'm really concerned about that at this point? Think hard about that one, you'll eventually get it, pal.
@Hero-of-WiiU I thought this did have online modes...?
I just dl'ed this so I've yet to play it, but it looks and sounds great. I've never played Tetris DS, or Axis, only GB Tetris (of which I've probably racked up at least 1000 hours of playtime over the years), so I'll see how it plays out.
I'm not sure why so many of you have such disdain for this having never played it.
@Spoony_Tech I know this is a very old thread, but I just wanted to point out that having your 3DS plugged in to the power cable gives you what would probably be the equivalent of level 6 or 7 brightness.
@AltDotNerd I don't find your question dumb at all. As subjective as reviews are by nature, to have two scores so far apart from each other is surprising.
Sorry, but I have to call bulls**t on this.
@Kirk I agree.
@Samurairu I also agree.
I'm getting a chuckle reading comments such as "oh this is so cool!" and "this will be soooo valuable!". lol Talk about gullible.
@unrandomsam Glad to see someone acknowledge the greatness of Ninja Spirit. As good as this game is, and it's VERY good, Ninja Spirit is just incredible. Being on the TG16 drastically limited how much exposure that game got, which is a real shame.
@bizcuthammer You need to speak for yourself. We're not all being "tricked" into anything by the haggling system, which you seem to think is some devious thing. Lighten up.
I've bought all the games and I can say with certainty that they are worth the price. Until you've played the games, you're really not qualified to declare anything about them.
I'm an avid baseball fan, and I find this game awesome.
@maceng However "lackluster" the review might be, and I happen to agree with your assesment, rest assured this game is one of the best arcade baseball games ever made. You have lots of control over the ball when pitching, as long as your pitcher isn't too tired. If you bean a batter he just might rush the mound and try to knock your head off. lol If that happens you'll HAVE to switch pitchers. Batting feels great. You can move around in the batter's box where you'd like. Being an arcade game, batting is all about timing, nothing complicated. Fielding is just as fast and responsive as everything else in this game. I suppose there's not much to say about a game such as this. It's the pinnacle of arcade style baseball games, period.
@Prime Uhm if I stop commenting it will be because I want to, not because your panties are all in a bunch about it. lol
...and it's not like I'm forcing you to reply, so lay off the giving orders to other members. lol
What's my problem? I really don't have one.
Why the agression? I don't see anything of what I've said as hostile at all. Sarcastic definitely, but not aggressive, and as far as I know sarcasm isn't against the rules here. Once you become the Comment Regulator you can forbid the use of sarcasm in the comments.
That right there^ is what's known as "sarcasm". FYI
@electrolite77 Er....how does that answer "the quote I'm selectively replying to"? Which, btw, wasn't even a question, it was a statement. And the blurb of yours that you quoted doesn't say what my statement said anyways, so I'm unsure of what you're thinking.
@Username_123 This is totally off-topic but I have to ask. Why is your reply addressed to "@Lionsgate" instead of the display name "@McGruber"? lol
Oh jeez...I just realized how old this thread is.
@memoryman3 You're comparing a dedicated portable game system that has actual CONTROLS, to a freakin' phone?
Calling an iPhone a gaming device is just absurd to me. Even having this conversation is absurd, actuallly.
@Prime lol Excuse me? You have no authority over me here, so I'll comment whenever I want to, and on whatever I want to. How's that sound?
Maybe NL could create a "Comment Regulator" job and hire you as the lead guy? You'd even be in charge of the Moderators. That would be awesome!
@Prime Duh? If you want to be rude about it, then same to you, pal...duh.
I'll have to ask my mommy and daddy if they can raise my allowance. Or maybe Santa will help me this year. Fingers crossed.
...and your response to my statement is starting to make sense now, I realize you don't totally understand what's being talked about.
