MIDP

Is it just me or do that team (whoever was talking in the interveiw/podcast) need a new spokesperson?
Or was that just poorly written from sounds to text?
Sure, I understood the point, but there is like a milion ways to make that sound way more professional than that.
This was almost at the level of Mega Man Legends 3...

@Aromaiden
Well spoken. It is like "Pokemon Amie" or customizing your character in Pokemon (Which still I don't understand why they had to remove, and their bs excuse to why was terrible).

Extra features that are there if you want to use them, otherwise don't, and just play the game and enjoy.
Some reviewers sure are...bad at reviewing I guess...or something along those lines.

@andyg1971
I'd say so, Im super excited.

What was this TVii supposed to do?
I live in Europe, so it never worked for me here.

This game has SO, SO many flaws
Yet, it is SO, SO addicting

@Seanmyster6 I know, same with Gunstar Heroes right?
But still, first Gunstar Heroes announced, now this...
Man, I could explode from excitement
Maybe not a big deal to most, but both these games, but espescially Sonic 2, is such a big part of my child hood and has played a big part of what Ive become...sounds pretty deep for a game, but the more I think of it, its probably very true
Also, the 2 player VS is like the most underrated VS multiplayer mode in gaming, one of the most, at least
Played it with my brother and a friend endlessly
Both with teleporters and normal items, its a blast
The dynamic with teleporters is also so much fun because it changes the gameplay completely
Other than that mode, Sonic 3 & Knuckles combined is the far superior game in every way imaginable...except like the mentioned VS mode, of course

When I saw Dragon Ball, I thought, "sold", but when I saw it was in 2D...
Well, they dont want my money...
Im sure if they made a 3DS 3D Dragon Ball similar to the ones on consoles, every Dragon Ball fan with a 3DS would buy it instantly.
But hey, Im probably wrong, and maybe thats just I who would...
Maybe in the next gen...

Its a sad day for us all.
I will never forget how good all the Nintendo Directs were with him.
His personality was truly amazing.

Wherever you are now, we miss you Iwata - "Directly to you" <3

Ok, wait a minute...so 2D to 3D Metroid is "Evolution", while Metroid Prime to Prime Federation Force is "Transformation"?
Sounds like a very subjectively irrational comparison.
I mean, almost nothing in 2D and 3D Metroid is similar when it comes to gameplay.
While Prime and Fed Force is , well first off we don't really know, but judging by footage, it is pretty similar except for the fact that the "mood" and "objectives" are different.
It seems more like a different "mode" of Prime.
And while that could mean that it at the end might also feel completely different, I still think it is pretty illogical to say that 2D to 3D is less different.
In other words, 2D to 3D would then be more of a "transformation" than Prime to Fed Force...

Im so f***ing excited about this game!
Honestly, its like one of my favorite games all time!
To be able to have it on the 3DS is a dream come true, Ive waited for so long.
The thing that sucks though is that you need two copies for Co-op...
It feels like so many games on the 3DS does that for the wrong reasons (I think).
Because it feels like they want you to buy two copies obviously, but many times, it feels like if you're actually able to play the game with someone who doesn't have a copy, that leads to the extra copy, and many times a new fan of the franchise in question, which of course in turn, generates more copies.
Some of the first party titles do a good job of this actually, like MK7 and Mario Party, where they let you do Download Play.
That has led some of the people I've showed games to, to become fans of them, buying more games.
And when you look at home consoles, all you need there is an extra controller.
So yeah, it is truly a huge negative on many 3DS games...
But hey, still happy the game is coming!

@Kirk Thad'd be cool
Kind of like 3DS.
...speaking of which, is something that should somehow be incorporated more.
One example is why they half do it with Super Smash, "Here, a mode to use the controller...only in Smash mode, otherwise you have to choose another one"
And then they drop this 1 EUR add on - of when I read, was sure that it enabled you to use it in all modes, I bought it right away, only to find out afterwards that, no, this was only for people with a 3DS, without Smash on it, who wants to use it to play Smash on the Wii U - once again, only in one mode!
Like, are they kidding us, first of all, how often do you run into that scenario even.
I mean, sure, I guess it does happen, but that just makes it even more of a reason to let you be able to use your 3DS as a controller in all modes.
Just in general, it feels like they should have been able to make an app for the 3DS that just lets it be a controller.
Like many other nit picky things, its not the deal breaker of how good the console is, but it is one of many small things that just feel like they shouldn't be that difficult to fix, and if they had this, along with much other things, the console would feel so much better.
And don't get me wrong, I sound negative, but I love my Wii U, it is my favorite console ever behind the New 3DS.
But it just feels, like said before, so many small things could together give an overall better experience if they were fixed, and many of these small things should not be, or have been to difficult to fix.

@Zach I think so too
The controls seem fun, I dont find the graphics to be that bad at all.
Also, I dont see what the complain about Assault is that everyone seems to have.
That is the only Star Fox game Ive truly enjoyed, times and times better than 64 in my opinion.

@TJF588
Same here, what is on that yellow white watch???

I guess I am the only person in the world that is really excited about this game.
I think it looks to be so much fun.
It reminds me a little of the Nintendo Land one which is a blast.

I dont know, I just started playing the Mario version yesterday, and I cant stop playing it.
I think its one of the most addictive games Ive played in a while.

@Alex Olney Very good job Nintendo Direct.
This "Nintedo Life Direct" seems like a really good thing.
Makes it easy to track whats going on and what you've missed.

I love both this game and Shuffle.
Great to play in short bursts, really felt I needed more of those games on my 3DS.
Cant wait for Puzzle n Dragons.

Well, theyre not eliminating the "kids playing on 3DSs" since they also play on smart devices.
Maybe I misunderstood what was written.
Either way, I think this makes good sense.
More people will be able to buy it now, and granted that they can make their title visible among all other good phone titles, then its a great move.
Although I'd love to see the sequel on the 3DS as well obviously.

It would be cool if it is something similar to what is written.

That guys words in that interview, pretty much sums up why Sonic has been dead since Sonic Heroes...
At least to me.

Opening up Nintendo Life.
Seeing a bunch of articles about "DeNA".
Opening up 3-4 of them, hoping one of the articles would explain at least in short, more about what this "DeNA" is.
...reading, reading...I am sure its there somewhere, but why should it be so hard to find?
Oh well, Google time...

Golden Eye (With online support, otherwise no need to)
Donkey Kong 64 (Might be my favorite 64 game...top 5 for sure)
Banjoe and Kazooie (Never got to play it, but it looks so much fun.)
Paper Mario (Love this game, started it over like 3 times, got really far, but never had the time to complete it, would be perfect for 3DS)
...Super Mario 64 (even though the DS version was a top 5 DS game for me, that in itself is reason enough to get another version of it.)

1080 Snowboarding would be cool if they just made a completely new game instead.
I just dont think there was enough in that to stay entertained alone for that long.
If they added like a "Story mode thingy" where you could play cups and other things to unlock a lot of upgrades and gear etc. (I know there is already, but not big enough in my opinion)
Also online.
Something similar to Mario Tennis 3DS but with a more grand scale to it.
And yeah, way more stages.
Like I said, might as well make a completely new game of it.

Just what I think.

Nintendo should make "Nintendo Amiboo World".
Make it open world, tons of missions and never ending side quests, leveling system, large variety of worlds in form of worlds from all the games they have made.
Then the Amiboo you have, should play the same style as the game they come from.
For example, lets say you could be in the world of Zelda, Hyrule, but play as Mario. Then you might need certain power ups/ xp/ level or whatever they would want to design as a system, in order to beat certain dungeons/quests etc.

Or, buy a Link or Zelda figurine in order to clear some places quicker if you dont want to grind and get that power up/level etc.

I think that would be really cool to see all the worlds from Nintendo come together and interact with one and other.

Imagine you want to clear a place in the Zelda world where you need lets say a boomerang, and you can actually require a boomerang suit from the Mario world from a hammer bro, or from the Kirby world, etc.

Maybe it could be built so that the Amiboo you have from the start lets you start from a certain world, then clearing stuff there will let you get to the others etc.
There would be endless possibillities.
And they wouldnt have to make all the worlds right away either.
Let us start with Mario, Zelda and Kirby or something.
The a year later give us version 2/expansion pack/DLC whatever with Metroid, Donkey Kong and Star Fox.

I know Im just dreaming away here...but honestly, I would pay to buy every single Amiboo to be able to see how they would all interact in these worlds.
Add some local and online co-op on it too...wow...that would be my biggest wish Nintendo, make it happen, ill give you my money for sure!

All I want is Dokapon Kingdom, please!

If anyone feels like e-mailing an EU code to someone from Sweden, feel free to send me one at:

[email protected]

@MAONaime
Ok, thanks!

@Awlorein
No, there is no guarantee, some people get 4 codes, if we are lucky, some of them are very nice and share them here, and if we can grab them quick enough, we get them.

@MAONaime
How can we get the demo tomorrow?
Are they putting it on the E-Shop?
I thought it was like the Pokemon one, you have to have a code or no demo...?

So many waiting, so few codes...

@Awlorein
Maybe, maybe not.

@Awlorein
Neither do I, I missed the last two above as well.
Still hoping

@Awlorein You put them in at "Download Codes" in your 3DS E-Shop, then you get to download the game.
However, each code can only be used once, not per user, but once in total.

wow, thank to everyone who is sharing codes here!
I havent gotten one yet, but its very generous.
Im currently waiting for more if someone has any EU ones

@drewb0203
When the 3DS originally released in 2011 it didn't see the start they were hoping for in terms of sales. Part of that was that they didn't have many big games out at launch.

As a result, Nintendo decided to make a huge price drop, from around $349-$399 down to $169 (prices varied depending on location and bundles etc. but somewhere around there) about 6 months after launch.

Since loyal fans bought it for so much more, that would mean that they could feel that they were punished for being loyal, so in order to make these loyal customers feel that they didn't support the console for nothing, Nintendo decided to let every 3DS bought within that period that would log on into the E-Shop, the possibility to get a bunch of free games.

So they created the "3DS Ambassador Program" which let all these customers get 10 free GBA games and 10 free NES games that Nintendo chose, before they were ever released, and some of them have still not been released in the E-Shop, like all of the GBA games.

I think that is about it.

I have it on my 3DS through the Ambassador Program! (Proud)

@TheRealThanos
Thanks, appreciated!

Sorry, I did not understand, exactly what does that screen/thing do?
Thanks

@cornishlee

Good point.

I hope the game won't be that gray through out it. I suspect it might be, but it feels like something I would get tired of, also I think it would be confusing for me to tell the difference of where I have been and not, assuming the game has some backtracking.
Who knows, it might work great, its my concern though and the reason I probably won't get it.

No Sweden as usual...

@MrL1193

Could not have said it better myself

Terrible review
I love this game and its in my opinion a great Mega Man game
Sure, its not a 10, but its definitely not a 5 in any way or form.
Minimum 7, Id say 8,5

@Will-75
good point

At first I thought they meant there is a "new limited 3DS" as in a regular 3DS XL or standard but with a Monster Hunter Theme.
I expect more confusion in the future.

And to clarify, Im not negative about the new 3DS or its name, even though I believe the name WILL cause confusion, I will get one ASAP when it gets out, and I am super excited about it.

But I can imagine that many people will buy games or consoles without knowing what is what. Hopefully they find a way around that.
But even now if you go to an ElGiganten (Swedish equivalent to Best Buy...thats where Im from) the people working arent a hundred percent sure if a DS game goes to 3DS or vice versa, so just judging from my experience now, it can only get messier.

@Agent721
Terrible comment.
The reviewer is simply saying that the rules of the game are confusing and not obvious. And he is totally right to do so.
I downloaded it a couple days ago as a curiosity myself, and sure, I figured out what to do. But that still left me with the question of, "How can I know that there arent any more game mechanics that I dont know of that I should" because of the fact of how weird the rules were.
You cant expect people to figure that out in other words.

When it came to the gameplay I honestly though it was terrible.
Im still going to go back and give it some more time, but honestly, it might be the worst VC game Ive ever downloaded so far.

@Azooooz

Didnt even know people hate McDs
Do they??????

First off, they didnt say anything on this list was a bad game.
Secondly, the difficulty doesnt have to do anything with it not being number one, they simply think the other games above are better.

@aaronsullivan

Thanks you for pointing that out. Could not agree more.
There is just waay to many games out there and even more coming.
Im not complaining...except I am complaining about people complaining...I guess.

@MeWario

True...

@Romeo
I totally disagree
Mario Party DS is one of my favorite games, and the one thing Ive been asking for to improve this series is online.

I agree it is way more fun locally, but that doesnt mean playing it online wouldnt be a blast.

It will definitely give it a bigger lasting appeal if done correctly.
