I respectfully disagree and I imagine quite a lot of people at Square Enix do to. It'll be interesting to see if the 3DS support compares to their stellar DS support.
Well when it was first announced the guy from THQ said he prefers it on a normal controller so the PS3/360 version will be using normal controls by the looks of it which hopefully means it will be CC-compatible.
Monster Hunter debuted at number 5! The best debut for the franchise! Then hold on at 12! and now is 22!
That's not bad at all, that's pretty damn good actually.
Sin and Punishment is having trouble because it hasn't had full distribution that Nintendo usually has, it isn't available in most shops. I went to get it on Friday in HMV but it wasn't there so I'm going to have to get it from Amazon.
Pathetic Wii line up. The Wii sold the most software over all for them last year with the second least number of releases(PC only had 3) and even if you take Monster Hunter out of the equation still sold more than the 360 which had an equal amount of titles(8).... and now they have SIX planned?
And before anyone says that's quite a few. It's not. They have 12 360 games planned, 16 PS3 games and 19 PSP games! WTF?
That's horrendous treatment no matter what way it's spun and I bet some people will be along shortly to do just that.
I thought in the case of Wiiware(and DSiware) it's that a lot of the smaller publishers can't afford the extra rating... with bigger releases it isn't really a problem. The lack of an 18+ rating is Australia is the problem there.
Good, it's a bit sad that Australians have to miss out on quite a few games because of the extra rating that needs to attained. It's a weakness of the whole PAL region really.
Well of course Iwata would be out of the door if he said it!
What I meant is that Yamauchi's interests are what are most important to Nintendo and he'll always be investing in Nintendo so they have a security blanket that most other companies lack.
@Hardy83: Investors aren't as important to Nintendo as most companies though because of the fact that Yamauchi owns a lot(the majority?) of Nintendo.
And making 2.4 billion is A LOT, especially in the current climate. The majority of businesses would love to be able to say they only made 2.4 billion.
I don't see the point in retail releasing this game at all.... there are downloadable version(which I hope will be released) that just lack the multiplayer mode and the game was originally a mobile game....
Awesome news, looking forward to this and due to 3DS backwards compatibility I should be able to play it anyway, not that I ever get rid of my Nintendo systems. haha!

Nothing for me luckily, I can't afford it right now.
Re: Epic Mickey May Get a New Lick of Paint at E3
I loved the way it looked, screw the haters.
Unless this is hinting at a HD/PS3 port?

Looks awesome.

Nice.
Re: Hiroshi Yamauchi Gives Millions to Cancer Treatment Hospital
All this has made me think is that Yamauchi might have cancer. That'd be sad.
Re: Hey Everyone, Get Your Dragon Quest IX On This July
@Yasume: Dragon Quest X is going to the Wii.
EDIT: Which might change though due to the fact that DQIX is SE's best selling game ever in Japan.
Re: Hey Everyone, Get Your Dragon Quest IX On This July
NICE...
Can't wait for the potential RPG of the year.
Re: Red Steel 2 Met Ubi's Sales Expectations
It's a pretty cool game but I was a tad let down by it.
Re: Nintendo Trademarks 3DSWare, DSMovie and Other Intriguing Phrases
3DSPlay is a new Online system?
DS Name Card is a new account system?
Re: And Gods vs Humans Said, "Let There Be Screenshots"
Definitely looks good.
Re: Nintendo "Happy with Virtual Console Pricing"
The prices aren't bad at all. I'm hapy with the service.
I want to see some more games(like more Square and Enix RPGs) and a few more Nintendo oldies but I'm sure most will come eventually.
Re: Tournament of Legends Trailer Smacks Us With a Multi-hit Combo
@Yasume: HVS told me it was being released on the first week of June in Europe(through an e-mail) and they also have a PAL boxart for it.
Anyway, I'm intrigued by the title but the lack of content is off-putting but the reduced rice makes it appealing. I might get it.
Re: Necromancer 2 Lurches onto DSiWare in Japan Next Month
I'm interested if this gets an EU release even though it is a mobile phone port.
Re: Hudson Enlightens Us with Lost In Shadow Teaser
Interested, not hyped.
Re: Nintendo Ranked World's Most Bankable Game Studio
79 Sora

Haha, that's counting Brawl but it's funny to see a company being in the top 100 without releasing a game!
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th May 2010 (Europe)
AiRace only 500 points!!!!???
Yay, I put off getting Metal Torrent with my 1000 points because I wanted AiRace but I can get both!
Re: Mikami and Suda51's "Mad Genius Horror" Game 50% Complete
It's probably not for the Wii.
Re: This is Hero of Sparta!!
Ninja Gaiden DS for the DS and for the Wii.... er... Rygar?(although that game isn't too good either)!
Re: Monster Hunter Tri, Sin and Punishment Nowhere to Be Seen in UK Charts
Monster Hunter debuted at number 5! The best debut for the franchise! Then hold on at 12! and now is 22!

That's in addition to it's obscurity problem.

Re: Review: Sin and Punishment: Star Successor (Wii)
Metal Torrent and Sin and Punishment on the same day!
Bullet Hell or Bullet Heaven?
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th May 2010 (Europe)
Ya know I thought for once we wouldn't have people whining about the update.... but noooo.
And Nintendo is unleaching a bullet hell double whammy in europe this week!

Re: Monster Hunter 3 a Roaring Sales Success in UK
@Mickeymac: It was stated in the PR that it was the best debut for the franchise so it's definitely done good, just a question of how good.
It's also held no 12 this week despite five new releases, including Fifa which is counted separetely for each system.
Re: Review: Ferrari GT Evolution (DSiWare)
From what I've seen Drift Street International is much more polished but has less content.
Re: Yuji Naka's Ivy the Kiwi? to XSEED Expectations
I don't see the point in retail releasing this game at all.... there are downloadable version(which I hope will be released) that just lack the multiplayer mode and the game was originally a mobile game....
unless it was super cheap to make.
Re: Swords Announced, Supports MotionPlus, Content Remains a Mystery
This looks like shovelware but I don't want to write it off unfairly, I'll see what reviewers and other folks say.
Re: Monster Hunter 3 a Roaring Sales Success in UK
It was explicitly stated to be the best debut for the franchise in the press release as well so it's pretty hard for people to downplay it
Re: Teyon Releases Teaser for Heavy Fire: Special Operations
Looks good,
It's both shocking and mazing that smaller Wiiware devs are putting out better looking games than the majority of the big third parties at retail.
Re: Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow Poo Facts
I want this in Europe. I may have to import some games!
Re: Final Fantasy V and VI Technical Problems Prevent DS Conversions
The technical issue being that the DS can't run 3DS games of course.

@Atlantis - Nintendo didn't get rid of her, she decided to leave because she lives on the opposite side of America.
Re: Interviews: Shin'en Multimedia - Jett Rocket
NICE:D:D:D:D
Looks brilliant.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26 April 2010 (North America)
Geeze, I think people would still find some way to complain even if the titles were free.
Just because you might not like the games doesn't mean other people don't like them.
Re: Jett Rocket Trailer Melts Your Face with Graphical Afterburners
NICE! Looks great guys, will be buying!

NICE, can't wait for the EU.
Re: Talking Point: The Virtual Console's PAL Problem
It doesn't really bother me when it comes to VC games, although it would be nice to have 60hz versions.
It annoys with new games though, it shouldn't happen in this day and age. I'm looking at you Madworld.
