Re: 3DS Coming to Japan by October

Phobos

Eh... I knew this wouldn't be fully confirmed. Although, if it did come out in Japan earlier, it'd be a good way to "test-drive" it before we do. Plus, I'd prefer if it came out in EU and NA a little later. Some of us need a bit more saving, you know.

Re: 3DS Form is Final Shape, says Hideki Konno

@Kimiko - How oily are your hands? Matt surfaces scratch way too easily. At least gloss is wipeable.

@Old_School - ...Oh, how I respect you for saying that! I agree with 47drift

Sorry, lefties! I'm ambidextrous, so it goes either way for me. And I must say, I do love what the 3DS has given us so far.

Re: Sony: Please Be Nice to 3D Glasses, Nintendo

Phobos

Sony's just jealous Nintendo got the concept of a 3D console first, and now want to inject themself into the process to say "Oh, yes. We did this together." Lay off, leeches.

Plus, having a console which doesn't require 3D glasses to produce that effect is what's so amazing about it. Seriously, why can't Sony understand some of these things and stick to their own territory? Geez, I've never felt so nerved before by a gaming company. Sony's worse than I thought. Then again, Nintendo's purely gaming. Sony's technology. It does explain their 3D glasses obsession, especially with those expensive TVs they produce.

Re: Review: X-Scape (DSiWare)

Phobos

I... need... to... get... this. Now. The review makes it sound so intriguing and complex, I just can not resist. Looks like a dark game too! Great review, Jonathan!

Re: Marth Returns as New Fire Emblem for DS Announced

Phobos

"FINALLY!"

But since it's a remake (thank the Lord I haven't played the original - more excitement within the game), I just hope it's not another gimmick. We seriously need somethin' good, 'cos people have been screaming "Fire Emblem" for what seems centuries.

I'll be wary with my wallet. ¬_¬

Re: Get Heard on the Nintendo Life Podcast!

Phobos

For the Nintendo 3DS, I'd love to see... New Super Mario Bros. 3DS, Luigi's Mansion 3DS, Mario Kart 3DS, Super Smash Bros. Brawl 3DS, Star Fox 3DS, Kid Icarus 3DS (Yes, we need this! Get back in the game, Pit!), The Legend of Zelda 3DS, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Third World [3DS] (maybe a follow-up to FFCC: Echoes of Time) and Animal Crossing 3DS (I'd love this).

On the technical side, maybe an inbuilt wireless access point for wireless fidelity internet connections (Wi-Fi) for those of us who don't have easy access to it, and backwards compatibility with other Nintendo handheld predecessors, and of course, wireless transfer of our DSiWare to the 3DS (personally, I feel this isn't a must). Nothing here for other consoles from me. Just the 3DS.

Re: Hiroshi Yamauchi Gives Millions to Cancer Treatment Hospital

Phobos

Dangit! This is just what I said we should guard against! Don't get me wrong, I think the man has awesomely amazing purposes to help people, especially with the amount he donated (Wow! Ker-ching!), but I still think Nintendo shouldn't be directly affiliated with the health industry. It's not a blatant execution of this right now, but from this, things develop! Rapidly, for that matter, considering the financial status of Yamauchi himself, let alone actually considering the bank of Nintendo...

Anyway, just to say, this is a man who knows what's in his pockets, and can manage it well. A true man with power who doesn't abuse it. I respect him with all my might.

Re: Microsoft Manager Gives 3DS the Thumbs Up

Phobos

When I heard 'Microsoft' together with the word '3D', I instantly got sick of the latter. Darn you, Microsoft! But I do commend you for giving a few words of praise. Would y' look at that, eh? Good stuff.

I STILL CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 3DS THOUGH! Bring it on indeed, E3! Woot!

Re: Wii Fit Helped Injured Soldier to Recover

Phobos

Well, we sure as heck ain't seein' Sony and Microsoft doin' that. It's good to see Nintendo helps serve other purposes, apart from just gaming. The Wii Fit and Wii Sports series are good examples.

@Token_Girl - What makes this so amazing is that Nintendo is a gaming company with extra health benefits found within their games while experiencing the fun side of it. If they delved straight into the healthcare market and became a prominent less-expensive brand, all this amazement would very soon be void.

Re: Nintendo Wins Appeal in Controller Patents Case

Phobos

Nintendo! Nintendo! Honestly, Anascape are just money-stealers. Why else would they bring up a random reason to sue well-known independent game companies?

...Hey, that doesn't mean I don't not like you, Microsoft. But you're sure better than Anascape!

Re: Black and White are the Next Gen of Pokemon Games

Phobos

2DS?

I was very surprised when I heard that Pokémon Black and White were coming out (yesterday), especially since people are just getting over HeartGold/SoulSilver. Looks like the Pokémans are hungry for more, eh? Not surprising, really.

I already have SoulSilver on my list. Now, to get or not to get...? I'm not sure whether or not I should wait for Grey, or go for SoulSilver now, and get Grey later, when it's released.
