The problem is that game might not be M Rated. It could easily be AO which means no platform holder would even touch it. Provided it can get an M rating from the ESRB/PEGI I don't think there would be a problem.
I bought this when I got Pushmo and I kinda regret it. It's a bit too difficult, its hard to find exactly where you go and the action isn't that satisfying.
@Lohengriehn: Starwing/fox is one I really want to see. It should be relatively easy to do and they could fix the framerate and draw distance a bit.
@Iz20XX: I know, the exchange rate I posted is the one the eShop operates with(in general) and is much more favourable to the US than the actual exchange rate. It should be only be 70p:$1 really. I still find the prices fair though.
It honestly looks like a DS game. No joke. This game would be unacceptable as a PSP launch game and it's just a slap in the face in 2011 on the 3DS. I'm not even sure how it can be argued. Everything is low poly, with low res textures and tons of jaggies, no lighting(circle shadows) or any attempts to use the advances features of the Pica GPU. (correct me if I'm wrong) It's only 30fps as well.
At least it sounds like it nails the gameplay. It's a good jumping off point if they want to continue the franchise but with Gryptonite being purchased by Glu and the apparently poor production values they probably won't get the chance.
@QubicGames - What about Tunnel? Was that a one off thing or can we expect more? I think 3D would work awesomely in Tunnel, in fact I tend to crash more now after player Pilotwings Resort! Hehe!
Uhhh they certainly played this smart.... concentrate on the horror aspect and show that it's a very good single player experience then drop the multiplayer bombshell.
Yes James! He should be forced to run a death gauntlet as well! * twirls mustache *
Nah but really this should have been anticipated quite a while ago and they have paced the games out so there would be at least two games across all four services. I know I'd rather have no weeks with 2 DSiware titles and than weeks with 0 DSiware titles.

Only 4 million? FAILURE!
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2012
@Mickeymac: SE recently announced KH3D would get a 2012 release.
You forgot Tekken 3D, out next month!
Re: Review: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy (3DS)
I'm planning on picking this up soon.

Re: Trip World Visits Europe's 3DS Virtual Console on 5th January
I bought Blaster Master and was a bit disappointed. I'll wait for a review of this... I might enjoy it more though.
Re: Watch a Slice of Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword
Looks awesome, looking forward to it.
Re: Nintendo Outs Jett Rocket Super Surf for 3DS eShop
Shin'en's answer to Wave Race?
Re: Review: Blaster Master: Enemy Below (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy Color)
I bought this when I got Pushmo and I kinda regret it. It's a bit too difficult, its hard to find exactly where you go and the action isn't that satisfying.
Re: Review: Tales of the Abyss (3DS)
This game is really good. RPG fans should definitely get it.
Re: First Impressions: Flipper 2: Flush the Goldfish
Will buy definitely. I also hope you can revisit the original Flipper concept with the enhanced 3DS power!
Re: Shin'en Putts Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH! Into the eShop Cup
Will buy!(because Shin'en is awesome)
Wait was the Wiiware one released in Europe?
Re: Register 2 3DS Games and You Could Win a Mario 3DS
Nice, I've bought 4 3DS games in the last month(3 of which are first party) so I'm sorted.

Re: UK 3DS eShop Charts (28th November 2011)
Huh, I'm pretty sure the charts have been there all along.:S
Re: Zen Pinball 3D is Pinging to Europe Next Week
@C-Olimar: The game will have paid for DLC. They announced it a while ago.
Re: Tekken 3D Packs In 40 Fighters at 60 Frames Per Second
I might pick this up depending on its release date.

Re: WiiWare Reels In Big Bass Arcade Next Week
@Omega: AFAIK it's relatively painless. I think it's got something to do with smaller brains and less nerve endings or something.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th November 2011 (Europe)
We do pay too much in comparison to the US(the exchange rate is 90p:$1:€1) but no way is Kirby not worth £5.40.
Re: Review: Castle Conqueror - Heroes (DSiWare)
Ooo a 9/10... I think I shall get this.

Did that sound overly mean/critical?
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th November 2011 (Europe)
Freakyforms get!
Re: Enjoy Gaming Cuts the Ribbon on Block Factory for eShop
I think if this is priced right I'll pick it up. I expected a block pushing puzzler when I first saw the title.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th November 2011 (Europe)
Well that's a nice surprise for a VC game.
Ahh, I got mixed up and thought Freakyforms was out this week! nooooo.
Re: Feature: The Development Process of Go! Go! Kokopolo
I really like this game and the artwork is great. I would draw some fanart but I can't draw to save my life.
Also the stuff about them never meeting face to face is astonishing!
Re: Review: Pyramids (3DSWare)
This is a very fair review and I'd say it aligns well with my perspective on the game.
It is surprisingly addictive though. You feel you need to go back and beat the level!
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October 2011 (Europe)
Not a bad week. Not a good week. Meh. Will try out Kyotokei.
Re: We Have an Exclusive Extra Level for Pyramids
Oh dear god it's even harder than the main game!
Re: Review: Cave Story 3D (3DS)
Didn't expect any reviews for this pre-release so this is a nice surprise.
I am interested in this but I definitely cannot afford straight away. I might pick it up in early January.
EDIT: Also, country como breaka! =p
Re: Mario Kart 7 Art Shows DK, Peach and Big Blue Shells
I want some Shyguy art!
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th October 2011 (Europe)
Also Pyramids is just under 20MBs. Downloading now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th October 2011 (Europe)
Is the eShop manager on holiday or something?
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th October 2011 (North America)
Wait. They're selling the short videos?:S
That's both a good and bad thing.
Re: AiRace: SPE3D Racing to 3DS with Online Multiplayer
@QubicGames I'll be buying both then... although I wouldn't say that tunnel was far too easy, although 3D should help anyway!
Re: Interviews: QubicGames - Gnomz (WiiWare)
Probably won't Gnomz but AiRace is a definite and 2 Fast 4 Gnomz sounds interesting.
Re: AiRace: SPE3D Racing to 3DS with Online Multiplayer
@QubicGames - What about Tunnel? Was that a one off thing or can we expect more? I think 3D would work awesomely in Tunnel, in fact I tend to crash more now after player Pilotwings Resort! Hehe!
Re: AiRace: SPE3D Racing to 3DS with Online Multiplayer
YES! This is exactly what I wanted! The AiRace games are my favourite DSiware games! It's going to be a long wait for this.
Re: Monster Hunter 3G Definitely Doesn't Have Online Play
Lame. Both Resident Evils and Street Figher have online - why can't Monster Hunter?
Re: Europe, Your Next Original 3DS eShop Game Launches on 20th October
Nice. It's cheap enough to be an impulse purchase so I will pick it up!
and C-Olimar is right, the exchange rate is: 90p:$1:€1.
Hopefully it makes up for the crappy week this week.
Re: Resident Evil Revelations Comes Loaded with Multiplayer
Uhhh they certainly played this smart.... concentrate on the horror aspect and show that it's a very good single player experience then drop the multiplayer bombshell.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th October 2011 (Europe)
Yes James! He should be forced to run a death gauntlet as well! * twirls mustache *
Nah but really this should have been anticipated quite a while ago and they have paced the games out so there would be at least two games across all four services. I know I'd rather have no weeks with 2 DSiware titles and than weeks with 0 DSiware titles.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th October 2011 (Europe)
Yup... worst.update.ever!
The EU eShop manager is terrible at his job. He needs to be replaced.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th October 2011 (North America)
Now we know why Nintendo didn't put out a PR...
We got Golf. Just Golf. No Wiiware. No DSiware. Nothing else. Worst...week...ever!
Re: Review: Catrap (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Yes! Excellent game! Everybody should buy this!
Re: Tales of the Abyss Slips to 25th November in Europe
Same day as Kirby but I'm definitely getting this day 1. Even have it pre-ordered.
An epic RPG on my 3DS - w00p.
Re: Let There Be No Doubt - The Last Story is Australia-Bound
@Pixelman: What's that, some kind of PC game?
Re: Let There Be No Doubt - The Last Story is Australia-Bound
Really looking forward to this. It's apparently short, sweet and fast paced which is a nice change for a JRPG.
Re: Nintendo UK Launches New WiiWare Portal
@James: Yeah, they're all European.
...and yes Burny I do believe they were on the Nintendo channel.
Re: Interview: Collecting Smiles - Colors! 3D
Sounds like a lot of effort has gone into this. I will definitely but it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th October 2011 (Europe)
Catrap is awesome, don't be hating!
