same here for canada, quebec more specifically. montreal to be precise. no sign of cards anywhere. to be honest, since they dont do much in game anyway... else than collecting, what are they good for ?
ma favourite DS rpg. and one of the best rpg i played lifetime. i consider it pretty close to final fantsy 6-7, crono trigger.... its innovative at its fullest, it has a great soundtrack. its superb, art direction is exceptional.
a much better version of the ps2. fast combat animation is a bless ! really. REALLY. but i question the fact to stay countless hours on a small screen. it can get your neck sore, your eyes sore, headache, on a tv screen and the couch, it just flow easily. oh well.
hahahaha . if your game doesnt sell more than 6000 units, then your game is BAD. nintendo is only trying to prevent bad games or risky games to spam their consoles. And seriously. mdk2. really ? never liked the games. and that character is ranked high into my ugliest character desgin list. look at this head, it doesnt even make any sense. Kinda like a battlecruiser or something. or a beetle. its a man wearing spandex, running with a battlecruiser helmet on. what the hell. Those two with him just dont fit the scene neither. a cartoon dog and a professor ? geez.
what to say.... i wont buy it now. maybe used or a greatest hit version if it ever becomes one. not gonna put more than 20$.
im sure its fun and good, but it doesnt appeal me that much and probably will do the same as the gamecube game. i will play a week-end then im off with it.
titanic seriously, someone somewhere really thought this would be a great idea to sell. must be a lot of work to put on a game, but again, it probably wont sell much. lets see how reviews will destroy it ... or not ?
i remember an old pc game about solving a mystery on the titanic. played it 10 minutes, then moved on to another thing because...it was boring. go play miyst or something. or even uncharted if you seek an interactive movie with puzzles
i just wish they can use a new gen engine like uncharted or battlefield's frostbyte and apply the movement controls for their characters. i wanna climb on a complex terrain with mario or zelda. i wanna be able to break the terrain to when i stomp ennemies from high level. imagine a mrio where environement is more interactive, destructible.throw a rock on a wall and watch it break a part of the mountain. break your way thru a cave.
paid video ? sure why not. they gave it to us for free at first. then if you like it this much, pay for it, i see no wrong. plus it last the same lenght of an mp3, which is priced the same.so... whats the problem ??
weeeeeeeeelllll isnt this a game for the little girls ? 1 it harsh, im sure a younger girl would love it. again, my kids play these things freely in flash game sites. Who would pay for this anyway hahahaha
one of the few ambassador games i truly cared to finish seriously. great game, even after all these years. Its great to play it on a handheld console too.
im impressed. it works very intuitively. thought i could use it in the bus, but its almost impossible due to horrible roads that bumps all the way. oh well
i love jrpgs. gameplay is fantastic. but... please stop those stylist-fashion designer characters. they dopnt look like warriors, they look like glamour rockstars! Come back to what they really should be. warriors. battle scarred. mean looking. a warrior doesnt care about his trendy haircut, about his hair dye, about how his pants match with his armbands.
i hope the japanese rpgs will start a new character desgin trend. im becoming sicker and sicker of these overly costumed with spikey haircuts characters. They're too much to look at. i mean, since when a warrior wear costumes designed by a fashion designer ? Since when are they also are trendy hair stylists?
When I look at them (and not only pandora tower) they remind me David Bowie in his glamour rock era. (labyrinth movie hahaha) I can always rely on bethesda to keep character design more realistic...
paper mario mario rpg on snes was a great innovative way to use mario franchise. make it come back ! it was great !
but just like zelda, i wouldnt see much more than 1 or 2 mario titles in a console lifespan. one at launch to show the console's power, and one near the end, to show the full console potential and experience during the years it was out.
anyway, when you see a new mario game, you know it will be solid. glad they tried a freshier franchise with kid icarus, its a blast and i am sure to buy the next installment.
reminds me a lot Champions of Norrath, which engulfered tons of hours on my ps2. rarely saw a squareenix game that sucked. so... ill get it !!!!!!!! the online mode intrigue me, but ill keep my reserve. 3DS didnt prove me it was the big deal for online gaming. kid icarus is fun, but its simplistic.
im half concerned with power. the main reason isnt really about beautiful graphics. but more about competition and developpers.
Developpers like DICE or Bethesda get those power hungry, humongous budget titles. these titles are major and sell the most. these titles arent on nintendo consoles. Third party dev seemed to not put as much effort and budget into the Wii or 3DS games because you know, people want beautiful games, deep games. nintendo games are amazing masterpieces. there is no doubt about it. but i would like to have 1 game system to play my games, and nintendo just dont make it where Sony did so far. i like battlefield 3. i like uncharted,skyrim,assassin creed. theyre beautiful,deep and powerful if nintendo can have enough power for their version of these games without ridiculous graphical downgrade, then theyre winning the next gen system for me. again, when i say ridiculous, i mean like CoD did. its downright ugly on Wii, clunky,squary,pixelized. And it just cant go where BF3 did in term of physics and movements. i have budget for 1 home console. not 2. so far, the ps3 outclassed everything, so i might go for the ps4 unless nintendo can prove they will handle next gen shooters.
farming simulator ???? wait. to play a farm game, you have harvest moon. put it realistic and it becomes boring or a chore. who had the idea this game would sell or even be a great idea.
kid icarus can have more life in my 3DS for the time beeing.
what i fear is diablo 3 coming in and heroes of ruin at the same time. you can bet they will compare, even if its not on the same consoles... anyway. my pc is old, probably never be able to ply diablo 3 anyway.
huho. sounds bad for nin...wait this is rumors. this is speculations frpm unknown sources.
here i read in an unknown website,coming from a mysterious developper that the Wii U might not be as powerful, but it will be able to bake things and provide energy drinks on demand, via USB, for half the market price.
rpg? you got me hooked right there. eshop ? got more attention lots of artists i really like work for this title ? the hook pierced both my cheeks xseed? im almost at the boat...
got it since the launch day and i still carry it around everyday if possible. seriously, i hardly had more than 5-6 days without it. its crazy. After a year, games are even better than the first generations.
that console has one serious future. especially if it can be used with the Wii U...that would make me think to buy it. depending on the price and launch titles. if the next smash brothers launches on 3ds AND Wii U, nintendo will have my cash totally. a wii u, a wii u smash brothers and a 3ds smash brothers...geez
get this game people. Nintendo has done it again, and got a new challenger into their character franchises like mario and zelda. This title will surely spawn a lot of follow-ups. i do hope so, because its A MASTERPIECE.
the soundtrack is one of the best in this new gen games, including all consoles. i wouldnt be surprised if it win 2012 game music awards.
the 3d effect is funny. everyone i made them try it said they felt bad. me too at first. i wasnt sure what nintendo tried to do with that weird 3d thing.
then, after a couple of uses, my eyes got used to it and now i can see it in all its splendor. kid icarus looks stunning, that 3d depth really adds a lot to the immersion.
and NEVER i or my friends experienced headaches or sickness. maybe some dizzyness, but nothing serious. what a shame. the same who complained the 3d effect gave them dizzyness still go watch 3d movies on a giant screen and dont complain. (even if they did the first time they watched a 3d movie)
That wont detract me from getting the next mario game, or kid icarus. nintendo makes quality games. masterpieces. they know their art.
freemium games never left me a good taste anyway. its great at first, real great. then you ALWAYS to a point where advancing in the game is either frustrating, unbalanced, sometimes impossible, unless you get to spend money.
i dont want to feel that in nintendo games. Theyre doing the right thing. but they shouldnt refrain from letting them coming on their consoles if it makes people decide to buy other consoles instead of nintendo to play their silly freemiums. what a waste of money anyway.
kid icarus could easily be first or second. EASY. especially since psuhmo is second. LOL its great, but second...really ? no way ! i had more time spent into freakyforms.
i prefered tales of the abyss over metal gear, but thats my personal tastes.
i dont want nintendo going into the power war going on with sony and microsoft
nintendo brings masterpiece games, with or without power. BUT i just hope they wont go TOO low like they did with the Wii. Anyway, nintendo mostly always end up getting their new ocnsoles before everyone, making them look like they lag behind in term of power. the VITA came almost a year after (dont know the exact time), so of course it has more power. but nintendo now has the sucurity of excellent tiles (kid icarus is my new love)
awesome instant buy. i already have art academy, but colors on ds (iphone) was so much better than it. i hope the 3ds version will be similar !!!
those who have art academy, dont be fooled. colors! 3ds will be much better in many ways. Just for the intuitive interface ive seen in the video trailer, you can bet on it.
5 dollars only? this reminds me some people bough SteelDiver for cough 40 dollars cough Dont expect a retail title content when its so cheap ! Ill consider getting it in the next weeks, can prove to be simple quick fun in the bus for a few days.

Re: More Gorgeous Epic Mickey 3DS Screenshots Revealed
