Woo hoo.Sounds great.Another reason to be a happy 3DS owner . Really can't wait for E3 now. All this info is making me go dizzy and probably my bank manager as well,stoopid credit cards!
This thing is gonna have to be good,my wallet can't take the strain.The 3DS has broke me and the NGP is due soon too Ah well ,I guess it's time to start selling s**t on E-Bay
Who ate all the pies? Anyway textures still aren't great and don't look that much different from the original to me. I'll still be getting this day one but I really hope this "extra content" is good.Looking forward to the 3D effect though,especially the boss battle at the end!!
Aww man! A 3D Shooter set in a microscopic world? Sounds awesome! Nanostray 1+2 were great little shooters with very nice graphics so I have high hopes for this one. Hurry up with tha screen shots pls!!
Hmm.Wish I could see into the future like these guys , course I'd just get next weeks lottery numbers rather than tell people how much of a paticular product will sell (or not) but maybe thats just me! Seriously do people actually get paid for writing this kinda sh*t
^ ^ But the circle pad will still only provide digital movement so I can't see how it would be any different.. Anyhow I would have snapped this up had it been a 3DS launch title.Its just the sort of game I wanted for 3DS . Seems a strange decision to me as the first game hardly set the sales chart alight and I think this one will suffer the same fate. As a 3DS launch game with ,lets face it , pretty poor competition I think it would have sold a lot more. Ah well I probably pick it up down the line as it looks great.Nice review
Glad I didn't pre order now . At that price the 3DS seems a lot more tempting now. Trouble is the launch games are leaving me cold. I would have really loved a big adventure game (even Oot would have sufficed). The only one I'm tempted by is Pro Evo ,but after just sinking an unhealthy amount of time on Fifa 10 (360) I'm a bit burned out on football games. Think I'll wait just a bit longer!
MEH.Still not convinced by this. The graphics just don't sit with me ( I loved WW's style) but this looks like a comprimise that doesn't work IMO.Also I still think I'm going to get fed up with all the swinging, hated the controls in TP and this looks likey to be more reliant on motion input than that! This may be the first Zelda since ALTTP that I might not play.As others have said ,far too many fantastic looking games (on all formats) coming out.This one near the bottom of the list.
GG Shinobi Awesome, had a lot of fun with that game as a youngster. I'm also very pleased to hear that TG-16 games are gonna be on there.Hope they bring the Star Soldier games to it. Handheld Soldier Blade
How would movies be delivered? Would they be sold on 3DS "carts" or downloaded via the interweb? Would a 3D film be a massive file or a reasonable size because of the lower resolution? Streaming????
Streets of Rage would be awesome. Also Sega Rally and Outrun. Thanks for reminding me about After Burner Climax as well.I'd forgotten about that ,gonna download it tomorrow!
Voted NFS:HP awesome game! Haven't played SMG2 so I can't vote for that and out of all the others I've played I liked NFS the most. What can I say , I love arcade racers
Oh man this just reminds me of how much I need a real fire ,its bloody freezing where I live at the moment. brrrrrrrr.... Also the line under the screenshot? Classic Newton.
Hmm I wonder if it will be 2D but on multiple plains similar to Little Big Planet.That would be kinda cool in 3D I reckon. I'd be surprised if we don't see a Mario Galaxy type game on 3DS as well though,surely that oppurtunity is too good to miss.
Hmm, not convinced by this one yet. The controls sound awful , appartley the ground based combat is a bit sucky and the enemy art looks very generic. I'll keep an eye out when the reviews start flooding in but at the moment I'm failing to see why people are getting excited about this. (Though I'll admit that until Super Smash Bros I had no idea who Pitt was but that NES game looks awful!)
Awesome console and one of my favorites ever. Its had a good run but I do think the time was right to launch a new handheld. Regarding hard to find games ,having only ever owned a 'Phat' this has not been a problem for me as importing is easy and often cheaper than shopping in the UK.This is one of the reasons I'm dissapointed in the region locking of the 3DS. I also think software sales were hit hard by R4 cards. Nearly everyone I know with a DS has one (not me BTW!) many of them parents, pirating games for their kids who see nothing wrong with it! Hopefully Nintendo has done a better job with regards to piracy prevention on the 3DS. I'll always keep my trusty 'Phat' though, its kept me thouroughly entertained while on the move and at home for the past six years.LOVE YOU DS
Sure one friend code is better than many but I still think it sucks.I don't have people I don't want on my 360 so I fail to see what his point is.I think that Nintendo can be a bit stubborn when it comes to looking at what the competition is doing and always think they know best.TBH they usually do but when it comes to online /system accounts I think they have dropped the ball somewhat.
Personally I don't see the 3-5 hour battery life to be a problem.I mean if your playing for more than 5 hours at a time you really need to get out a bit more
This is looking great.Really enjoyed the flying in WSR. I like @warioswoods ideas for the game and hope these are implemeted.As long as there are more difficult missions later on I reckon this will be the game I get with my 3DS.
Oh Nintendo ,how do you do it? This'll be the forth time I've bought the same damn game (N64,Cube collectors edition, Windwaker Limited Edidtion and VC!). This game is that good though.3D and portable,yes please. Damn you
Dear Nintendo, WE LIKE JRPG's!!! FFS!!! Please let us have some?pretty please? In fact some Western RPG's wouldn't go amiss either. This game looks great BTW. Maybe I could import....No can't do that either.Damn it I do find it odd that while Nintendo have the best line up of RPG's on the DS the Wii is completly neglected.Strange....but true.
Thats cool an all' but the only problem would be ,I'm assuming, that you could only watch them back on the 3DS or would they be compatible with 3DTV's/ Monitors? Even so getting some 3D footage of my two daughters growing up would be awesome!! there is another usage I can think of but I won't mention it here
I reckon it'll be £250 minimum here in Britain.I'd be very surprised (and happy)! if it was under that.Looking at what the 3DS can do I'd say its a fair price compared to other tech (iPhones etc) especially considering there is nothing else like it at the moment (though I'm sure that will change in the near future) but I may just have to hold off on getting one come launch day.
@SWERD_MERD "I hope people that import realize how small a minority of gamers they really are...not that they're doing anything wrong, just that Nintendo doesn't really care about them."
Dude as an EU Nintendo fan I already know that they don't care about me! Still sux a little. I thought we were a global market now?
Its a damn shame,but I saw this coming after the DSi was region locked so no big surprise.Still I've had some great DS import bargains from the US and I will miss the oppurtunity to get stuff I can't get in the UK.Won't stop me from getting one and maybe some clever folk will find a way around it . Can someone explain why they bother region locking things,I'm guessing Tax related right? ain't everything?
Well I have this for PC but I think I'll probably download this for Wii. I'm much more likley to finish it that way! I liked what I played so I'm looking forward to this. And of course the developer deserves some cash.He put a lot of time and effort into this game then gave it away.I'm sure he'll enjoy getting some payback. The delay in the release is shocking though.Mind you as a long time EU Nintendo fan I'm used to waiting!!
Well havin' a very crappy phone means that games aren't something I have to think about.DS all the way for me (till 3DS of course!!) Having said that I can definetly understand the appeal of iPhones etc. for gaming. There are definately good games/apps on there and some nice little time wasters.And as @pixelman has enlightened me, it also sounds like a great platform for Devs so I can only see this trend growing.
"Swingers club" ha, love it! Not played a motion plus Tiger Woods yet,seems like this one is the one to get. Great another game I want,when will it ever end?!!
This seems cool an' all but does this mean we can have some articles on Homebrew and the like seeing as they have many functions that are not illegal by their nature. I thought this kinda thing was taboo on NL. I'd like to hear NL's views on homebrew and its various applications.
Sigh..... I thought the days of staggered American/European releases were over.Seems Nintendo hasn't been learning much at all, what with this and the Mario All-stars 50hz debacle.Surely this would have been a massive xmas seller?? Ah well At least I've got plenty on me XBOX to keep me busy.
