With such some character designs there's no excuse not to have every single FF character in it. It should definitely have more than the Dissidia games. If not then they're just lazy.
I got the game today(a day early woo) and I'm actually really enjoying it. I've only done the first two world(or whatever you wanna call them) and the only annoying part was the first boss.
I got it for £25 and I think it's definitely worth that much but I wouldn't pay the £40 some shops are asking for(I've not paid that much for any 3DS games yet!)
@3 Have they talked to you about any promotional materials for your DSiware games? They mentioned trailers for DSiware being on the eShop.
Also the shop should be quicker simply due to the fact it doesn't have to connect to the internet every time you click on it, the 3DS will already be connected.
@6 SD Card and Internal memory are 2GB each which considering the rumoured size cap is 50MB then you can hold up to 80 games and Gameboy games are absolutely miniscule(possibly smaller than 1MB).
In my experience calculators like this one are called scientific calculators and you called them graphics calculators if they did graphs and stuff. I own one of each but it's probably just semantics.
Also for 200 points I might get this.... could come in handy(I still have the mario calculator on my DSi)... I wouldn't mind a graphics version for the eShop either!
Never played the series but am looking forward to seeing if this is a serious effort. Both Asphalt and Ridge Racer are underwhelming IMO and I'm hoping to get a Racing game with online(not Mario Kart).
Tournament of Legends should have been a 3DS game. The way the game works would really work in 3D but they could still keep the arcs in 2D mode. Plus in a more cynical approach they could have got away with the lack of content early in the 3DS' life.
@9: Was it confirmed as retail? I hadn't seen any PR which I thought was suspicious. It's going to be a hard sell if it's the exact same game and for a higher price.
The game has been rated, talked about but not properly announced for release right? What are the odds it's an eShop game and how big(filesize) was the original.
@17: Some have also speculated that they might be preparing Grezzo to make handheld Zelda games, especially considering people from the portable team are apparently working on Skyward Sword.
Ocarina is apparently being done by Grezzo Games. Grezzo have only made Line Attack Heroes previously but the CEO is Koichi Ishii, creator of the Mana series.
It's certainly weird of Nintendo though, I wouldn't think they'd trust a third party with their magnus opus.
My first Musou game but I enjoy it. I like that there's a low barrier of entry(simple combos) but that you can go more in depth if you want. I also really like that the missions are not compulsory because I tend to just enjoy them and not feel too much pressure.
The best moments are just rushing at someone on horseback taking out soldiers on the way, jumping off and whacking them with a musou attacks and being all like 'Whatchu gonna do?'
I'd also like the point that the battles are actually years apart and switching allegiances wasn't unusual. Of course you'd be unlikely to have directly pwned your soon to be allies in real life.
I think people are completely missing the obvious reason for their stance. Accountability.
Making development kits readily available to the public increases the threat of the system being hacked which is why generally they require you to be a registered business with a registered office. There are some rare exceptions such as 2D Boy(who Nintendo were involved with) and Team Meat(who Nintendo originally approached for Aether).
Their line about concern over software quality is nothing but PR fluff.
I just want to point out that you have Ghost Recon pictured and a caption mentioning it getting tactical... surely that's a new idea even if it's an old franchise?
In the same way Samurai Warriors Chronicles adds the dual screen, character changing and the create a character stuff. It adds new stuff to an existing formula and that's not always a bad thing.

Re: First Impressions: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
I believe MGS3 was 30fps. MGS2 was 60fps though.
Anyway... not too hyped for this, I don't like the idea of using face buttons for camera control, it should be using the touch screen.
Re: Get Up Close and Personal with Your Lover in Rune Factory 4
@Waltzelf, you going to import/get from Japan?
We probably won't get this until late 2012

The cool thing is with the 3DS restore points there no need to use passwords!
Re: In Case You Missed It, We Have the Shinobi 3DS Trailer
@28: It comes out in September so it's definitely not early.
and I do think it looks like a DS game.... in fact I'd even say Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword looks better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJyK9KqyqJg

Re: Square Enix's Final Fantasy 3DS Game is a Little Off-Beat
So PSP gets Dissidia and we get this... crap?(there's scans out by the way and it looks like a cheap phone app)
No thanks SE.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th July (Europe)
Huh, aren't GB games usually £2.70?(or have I missed something obvious?)
Re: Tales of the Abyss Dated for Europe
I'm looking forward to this but my poor wallet will be empty this november.

Re: Wii and 3DS Hunted Down by Jaws: Ultimate Predator
Hmm n-Space might not be making COD then....
it'd be pretty exciting if their last project was Winter!
Re: Ubisoft and Nintendo to Team Up for New 3DS Bundle
They should make a Capcom bundle with Street Fighter and Resident Evil. I bet that'd sell!
Re: Feature: The Past, Present and Future of the GO Series
I already have a few of the GO series and I'm going to pick up some more when the eShop is a go!
Re: Firebrand Games Would Love to Develop an F-Zero Game
Why is everyone saying Retro should make F-Zero!? If anyone should get the chance it's Monster Games!
Anyway - I thought it was announced that Firebrand are making the new NFS for Wii and 3DS?... and there engine is 3DS compatible already.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th May 2011 (Europe)
Downloading FAST now!
Re: Check Out The First Hour of Pandora's Tower
This looks like the 3D Castlevania I've always wanted.

Re: Customise Your Skills in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
It has Claire so it's fine by me.
DLC would be nice though.
Re: Review: Dead or Alive: Dimensions (3DS)
Damn you James and your getting-games-earliness!>:[
Re: Tales of the Abyss 3DS Confirmed for Europe
@6 They already said the framerate has been sorted out.
Re: News Report Reveals Resi Evil: Mercenaries 3D's Release Date
Cool, Rebecca! I think I'll stick to Claire though.
Re: Prepare for Dead or Alive with Five Minutes of 3DS Gameplay
Game is looking even better than I remember it. Can't wait! Only 10 days!
Re: First FIFA 12 3DS Screenshots and Details Score
Wow after EA's crappy launch efforts I'm surprised!
I hope NFS: The Run is good and that they've giving Firebrand the time it needs to make it awesome.

Never played the series but am looking forward to seeing if this is a serious effort. Both Asphalt and Ridge Racer are underwhelming IMO and I'm hoping to get a Racing game with online(not Mario Kart).
Re: Nintendo of America Hires Scott Moffitt as New Executive VP
Will he be at E3? He needs to make some of his own memes, it's a rite of passage.
Re: Gear Up for Solatorobo's Launch with New Videos
I shall be getting this! Thanks Ninty!
Re: Feature: Lads of the Rising Sun
Huh surprised not to see Steel Diver mentioned.
Re: Interviews: High Voltage Software - Conduit 2

Re: Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove Does the Monster Mix on WiiWare
So is the 3DS version identical or does it have more content or something?
Re: Crush 3D to Flatten Your 3DS
@9: Was it confirmed as retail? I hadn't seen any PR which I thought was suspicious. It's going to be a hard sell if it's the exact same game and for a higher price.
Re: Crush 3D to Flatten Your 3DS
The game has been rated, talked about but not properly announced for release right? What are the odds it's an eShop game and how big(filesize) was the original.
Maybe I'm crazy though.
Re: Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D Utilises Home Console Assets
Mercenaries has Claire so instant purchase.

Re: Zelda 3D Developed by Grezzo Co, Not Nintendo EAD

Re: European Virtual Console Gets Chrono Trigger in Quarter 2
...for a second I thought it said Chrono Trigger 2.
Re: Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Launches on 19th June
here's an interesting story.
Ocarina is apparently being done by Grezzo Games. Grezzo have only made Line Attack Heroes previously but the CEO is Koichi Ishii, creator of the Mana series.
It's certainly weird of Nintendo though, I wouldn't think they'd trust a third party with their magnus opus.
Re: Dead or Alive: Dimensions Release Dates Flex Their Muscles
Yay! Can't wait to play this. Haha that's pretty odd I'm already getting two fighting games for the 3DS and I'm not even a fighting game fan!
Re: There's a Touch of Virtual On to this New DSiWare Game
That looks pretty damn good. Can't wait to see what eshop games these quirky Japanese devs will make.
Re: Nintendo Wants More Developers Like Retro Studios, Please
Try Eurocom.
EDIT: @WhiteTrashGuy It was Silicon Knights who broke off from Nintendo, but Nintendo still owns some stock.

Take your time Capcom and make it awesome!
Re: Captain America and Thor Trailers Power-Up Wii Together
Captain America= Bleh. Thor= Eh?
Thor looks quite good from that trailer but I'd have to see more.
Re: Monster World IV Coming to Virtual Console in Europe
Huh it's weird that the ESRB rated it for PS3/360 and not Wii and PEGI has rated it for Wii but not PS3/360.

Re: Review: Asphalt 3D (3DS)
@Corbs I would have loved a content packed, online, highly polished retail Asphalt as well.
You know I wonder if they'll release Asphalt games on the eShop.
Re: Review: Asphalt 3D (3DS)
Your friend list message ruined the surprise James.
Re: Nintendo Europe Beating Up Dead or Alive Dimensions in May
Nice for Tecmo Koei(and me)
