He doesn't say there won't be any price cuts or sales, he just says publishers can't control it.

It's a double edged sword really because Nintendo might under- or over-value a publisher's game which won't be a good situation but also it stops publishers from undercutting each other and avoids the 'race to the bottom' phenomenon.

It might get complicated(probably too complicated) but I think it'd be best if both Nintendo and the publisher had to agree on a price rather than one having more say than the other.

This is one of the most interesting 3DS games and it's budget priced in Japan so they know they can't compete with the big guys.

@5 You should have said 'so expect the same great coverage you get now only IN 3D!!'

@4

It's not specifically Sims 3, there's a whole bunch of games that look bad. You might like it though, here's a vid:

I think the game actually looks surprisingly polished, especially compared to quite a few other 3DS games. cough*Sim3*cough

Oh jeeze, I forgot this game was out today! I'll have to get it at some point, I'm still trying to save for the 3DS!

Love how efficient the design is, just like the Cube!

AiRace is awesome and this looks good too!

Hope these guys are working on 3DS.

Game is looking good. TT are the 3DS' biggest western supporter.

I like the fact that the place for the gamecard is still protected. The annoying thing about the DVD cases it that the holes are right where the back of the disc is!

I think they should do luxury wooden boxes:P

Wow, looking a lot better than those screens we got!

I actually think a lot of people are interested in Ghost Recon but are waiting to get a proper look at it.

@James: I'm not sure about Street Fighter... I wish I tried it when I had the chance now... but I was too busy with DOA.

I hope DOA is day one but I want quite a few of those games anyway.

@Incognito: Well on Amazon the 3DS is £197 and the games are mostly £29. So there's a savingof £20 straight away and it might even end up cheaper as we get closer to release!

The 3DS hardcore killer apps are third party... that's part of the point...

£250? Where are you shopping?

I want DOA and Lego Star Wars for definite and am very interested in a few others.

I will get it(at some point) but I kind of wish it would have been 1000 due to how long we've waited.

It's a horrible trend across the whole industry. Publishers and Retailers are concentrating on "AAA" games to the detriment of everything else and it is killing them.

Nintendo is d00med.

Nice, will get!

Hope they're licensed for 3DS too!

Yum, Claire.

This game looks pretty damn good and shall be mine!

Weird that it apparently doesn't have online... when the OFLC rating indicated it did. Probably won't get it if it doesn't have online.

Totally disagree Irk. Splinter Cell looks really unpolished and headache inducing whilst Shadow Wars looks like a pretty cool SRPG(and from the creator of X-Com!).

@Waveboy: DOA is the only game so far that changes framerate when switched to 3D(I think) and Super Monkey Ball is definitely 60fps and I think Kid Icarus is too.

DOA alone isn't enough 3D Boobs... that's why we need to see Bloodrayne: The Shroud soon:P

That'd make a lot of sense.

The AiRace games must have done well. Yay!

200 points..... buwha!

That's crazy good value.

Looks quite a bit better but still really rough. Asphalt looks quite a bit better, which should probably be embarrassing for Namco.

Good thing about the BEAT demo is that we know demos will actually be cycled through rather than just forgotten.

It's an interesting experiement, will cycling demos mean that the titles will get multiple boosts at different time and will that be equal or greater than generally increased sales?

I wonder what 3DS demos will be like.

Yaya, I love the AiRace games!

@JustYourAverageBleh: For in game stuff you don't need double the assets because it's the same assets but from a different viewpoint. It works like spltscreen,

For movies you need two lots of stuff though but you can save a lot of space with compression.

Dat water and foliage.

James there's a scan apparently out now... but I don't know where, I'll try to track it down.

3D suits the style of HOTD: Overkill perfectly. I can even imagine the over the top narrator.

Excellent piece and completely correct.

No gratuitous shots of Claire....

Such a let down after Darkside Chronicles.

'Anyways Marvelous Entertainment? What exactly have they done?'

Marvelous are responsible for Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Little King's Story, Arc Rise Fantasia, No More Heroes, Muramasa and Valhalla Knights... and that's just on the Wii!

Yaya! Time to enjoy the game!

Game has better graphics than Hot Pursuit on the Wii.

argghhh if I had the money to spare I'd so get both this and Goldeneye DS.... and Black Ops DS too... sadly I don't have the money.

The game's already out? Wow.... it's been very quiet... not heard much about it..:S

Damn, didn't win! Congrats to those who did though!

Eh, call me pessimistic guys but I can't see them bothering with a Wii game despite the fact that the first game sold decently(did more than 100K in the UK).

Didn't Headstrong indicate that they were working on it a while back?

It's most likely a PS Move game though.

Nice, I always intended to pick up Glory Days but never got the chance... I shall pick this up and enjoy!

Not on twitter... and want to buy the game anyway so good luck to all the peeps who enter!

Shame for Bizarre... but good for Eurocom!

We'll se how they go in the long run though.
