Hope this means the end of the Redknapps, Ant and Dec et al.They have to be the most cringeworthy adverts ever made.Sure they help them sell a lot of product to numpty's but the whole campaign for the average gamer was laughable! The next Universal pictures marketing should be great!!!
I'm with @Waveboy on this one. Watching this could ruin the game for me. Tempted though I am!! Not long to wait now.Hopefully Zavvi will get this to me for Friday. Then I'm gonna get stoned, turn the lights down low, slap the big wireless headphones on and scare myself silly!! Can't wait!
Sweet.Hope this comes to fruition. One of the only fighting games I've ever really enjoyed.This would be sweet in 3D. LOVE YOU NAMCO BANDAI YOUR AWESOME!! now gimme this game!!
Nope.Still not convinced by this game. The cheesiness is too much for me, though I'm sure kids will love it and the enemy and art design also seems very generic. If it gets decent reviews I may try it out somewhere down the line but this is way down the list of games I want at the moment.
This looks like just the thing I need. Is there no White version though?Couldn't see one on the amazon link.Not sure I'd like the look of the batteries and stand on my white Wii/ motes.Seems crazy if not.Pretty sure there are more white Wii's than black ones out there. please don't take this as any kind of racist slur, some of my best electronics are blacklooks at sexy black 3DS, love you 3DS
LOL. Man why not just give us dual analogue support with the circle pad pro? Weird decision! I suppose this could be good for watching those amazing Nintendo videos......./sarcasm
I never pick the track but if it comes up online, damn right I'm glitchin' Pretty much everyone seems to know the glitch now so its still a race and perfecting 'the drop' still requires skill when there is 8 of you racing. Also I see it as a bonus because it makes one of the more boring courses shorter. Winner!! I'd rather Nintendo work on some DLC like extra Gran Prix's, be they new or retro.I'll gladly pay a fiver for four courses.Come on Nintendo, you do like cash dontcha'!!?
What's this? MW3 and FIFA at the top!!!!???? No sh*t Sherlock!! Glad to see Skyrim up there though, pretty good for a Fantasy RPG. No Zelda is disappointing but really no surprise. These things matter little to me.One look at the music charts shows that bland s**t sells well, don't mean there ain't some great music out there though.
Would this be suitable for a five year old who is just beginning to read? I know the age rating is 3 but I often find that my daughter needs constant help with the vast amount of text in a lot of these types of games or does it have a voice over? She would love this.
Great to see this got the review it deserves (though I'd give it 10/10 personally!) One of my favorite games ever. Pure simple gameplay presented in a crazy ,over the top way. When I first played this I'd never seen anything like it and I still think this one is the best in the series. So glad to have this back on my 3DS. Thank you Nintendo
Got this as an Ambassador game and must say I'm impressed.Never played any of this series of games so this was a nice surprise. Great graphics and some excellent gameplay.Also the opening movie is surely the funniest thing Nintendo has ever done. Class. 9/10
Yep, pre-ordered mine from Zavvi a couple of days ago.Absolute bargain if the price of the circle pad is £14.99 on its own. Great that there is going to be a demo (about time Nintendo!!) hopefully it is a sign of things to come. Nintendo have really got their act together recently and seem to be listening to criticism and taking it on board. The support they have shown the 3DS in the last 3months has been great (seems like something new comes along everyday at the minute ) I just hope they don't rest on their laurels now that sales have picked up. Can we have the MGS3 demo that japan got as well please?
To me WiiU sounds great in principle but I fear in reality it won't deliver on its promises.My main fear for it is the fact that by the time it comes out the XBox720 (Definitely) and the PS4 (Possibly) will be right around the corner thus leaving Nintendo stuck with the lower powered machine yet again.Which means the promise of really great 3rd party support will probably not come to fruition. Don't get me wrong I'm no graphics whore but I do want to play the latest releases which is why I was forced to buy a 360 this gen.Come next gen I really think that I will be choosing just one console and that has to be the one that gives me great 3rd party games.Sure I love Nintendo games but they only come round once in a blue moon. I'll be a late adopter of this for sure however it pans out.Got my fingers burnt with the 3DS and won't be doing that again. As for selling at a loss I don't really care,the're the business dudes, they can decide.Lets be honest if it's got the games you wanna play then you'll pay over the odds for it whatever. They really need to improve their online stuff too.The E-shop is a joke, and Wiiware and VC are dying a slow death (poor things so much potential) maybe they will get it right with the WiiU.I hope so anyway.
Those are definitely skins,the pants are on a Red 3DS , The dress on the pink and the shroom on a white 3DS. Pretty cool but an actual 3DS painted this way would be far better.
RE4 is the only one I truly enjoyed and is definitely in my top ten games ever. The others I just could never get on with the clunky controls. I can appreciate the quality of the games and can understand why they have a huge fanbase.But they just weren't for me. Still not played RE5 ,I'll get round to it some day though!
meh.......I like the look of the original better.I agree with @Iz20XX about the backgrounds to , far too busy. Shame they didn't include the original though I would be tempted by a handheld version, pretty lame. Ah well at least come Christmas I will have some good games for my 3DS (currently a very expensive portable NES!!).
I would buy 1080 3D and Wave Race 3D in a heartbeat.I do not have a problem with remakes unless they are cheap cash in's (see the recent Resident Evil HD re-releases as example of how not to do things!!) OoT 3D was a great example of a perfect updating of a game imo. Majoras Mask next please.
@Belmont (11) Voice acting??? Eeeewww no thanks. For me the voices are all part of the appeal. Anyway I'm looking forward to getting this. Haven't played AC since I imported the GC version (before they decided to give it some PAL lovin'!) and me and my girlfriend had a great time with the game (the NES games were an awesome little bonus!). I'm hoping this will be the game that I can finally play with my 5 year old daughter. I'm gonna use it to teach her to read
Having thought about it, I guess I'll give it a try but I still can't get over the rudimentary design of the thing.Seriously, it's like the first thing you would draw when faced with that challenge.Then you would slowly make it sleeker ,more ergonomic etc. None of that is in evidence here. Just get it made and slap it on.Mental. Another concern I have is if I get used to playing certain games with the 2nd slider that will kinda rule out me playing them in public.(no way am I gettin' that out on the bus!! ). Ah well ,we'll see I suppose.
Nah!! I'll wait for the enhanced VITA version thanks................. not really ,I don't even like monster hunter! , though I may give it another try just to see the wowee 3D visuals. Great news for all the MH fans though, this will definitely be a system seller fo' sure.
Aw man.All is forgiven Nintendo, I still freakin' lurve ya! This sounds awesome , single player is a great addition and all for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Seriously I would have paid a £10 for this in e-shop.Me likes all these free games, man. Careful Ninty, I may just get used to it!
OMG:D The more I see of it ....... ,the more I laugh at it!! ..................Which, in a weird way, is now making me want it!! It makes your 3DS look like a some poor disabled game machine which has had some effective, but ultimately cheap, prosthetics attached. You know how they put wheels on dogs? Awwww I think I'll just wanna cuddle it. But my God, its ugly
LOL. OMG that is one of the worst add ons I've ever seen. WTF Nintendo!!? I mean that device looks like it came straight outta the eighties I would put my 3DS on ebay tonight unfortunately its now worth jack sh*t so I guess i'll give it to the kids. Screw you Nintendo, seriously this is the end for us, you have ripped me off too many times. Did you learn nothing from WM+ and how dividing your customer base is not good for developers. I bet Sony are laughing their little socks off at this!!
Looks great.Reminds me of an old Amiga game, not sure why. I'll have to get this after a price drop,got a lot of games vying for my wallet at the moment Hope we still get games like this on the 3DS, just because it can do 3D doesn't mean it has to. That's one of the great things about the DS in that it had a lot of retro feeling games but with 21st century design choices i.e. gaming nirvana.
While this is cool an' all I don't get why people still buy magazines when all that info and more is available at the click of a mouse and for free!! Don't get me wrong I loved my gaming mags as a kid ,MEAN MACHINES being my favourite but I haven't bought a gaming mag (or any other magazine for that matter) in years . Still Kudos to the guys that did this.Looks very professional and it sounds from the comments that there is still a market for these types of things so good luck to em'.
Played this to death on the N64 and also bought it on VC so a new coat of paint isn't enough to tempt me at full price. No online is ridiculous and a wasted opportunity on Nintendo's part.They really need to get with the program with this online business ,MKDS had online, there really is no excuse. Having said that if you have never played this game then you need to.It really is awesome!
If this is true I can't see it controlling that well on the 3DS unless they re-think the whole control scheme. Not too fussed anyway as I could never get on with MH:Tri ,too much of a time sink. goes back to playing Deus-Ex
FAIL!! Not much else to say really. Personally I'm not too fussed , I have a debit card that works fine plus I don't see myself downloading that much thanks to the high prices of most games in the UK!! Its annoying for those people who do rely on such cards though and I cannot think of a good reason why this has been the case, utter,utter rubbish. As I always say ,it's a good job Nintendo make amazing consoles and games because as a business they fail big sometimes
@HighWinter (24) Zavvi says £49.95 on the site as far as I can see.Do you have a Link £40 I would have snapped it up ,£50 seems a bit too steep. Anyone seen anywhere else doing pre-orders for the bundle???
@UltraGamer (17) LOL Me too. Not sure if that's good or bad though! o_0

Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising Trailer Shoots Past
Nope.Still not convinced by this game.
The cheesiness is too much for me, though I'm sure kids will love it and the enemy and art design also seems very generic.
If it gets decent reviews I may try it out somewhere down the line but this is way down the list of games I want at the moment.
Re: Review: Duracell Wii Charging Stand
This looks like just the thing I need. Is there no White version though?Couldn't see one on the amazon link.Not sure I'd like the look of the batteries and stand on my white Wii/ motes.Seems crazy if not.Pretty sure there are more white Wii's than black ones out there.
please don't take this as any kind of racist slur, some of my best electronics are black looks at sexy black 3DS, love you 3DS

Re: Nintendo Has No Plans to Fix Mario Kart 7's Maka Wuhu Glitch

Also I see it as a bonus because it makes one of the more boring courses shorter. Winner!!

Re: UK's Best-Selling Games of 2011 Revealed

Re: Review: WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy Advance)
