Nice, the best thing for me about this is the ability to play games from other regions. However, I will wait and see what happens when future updates arrive. Don't want my 3DS bricked because of this.
No thanks. The developer does not seem trustworthy and their previous projects weren't very good. I wouldn't mind to have a decent minecraft clone, but this looks like a crappy one.
I got the hanafuda theme. The music is really nice, and the theme fits my gold 3DS XL pretty well. I might also get the isabelle one when they release it.
Good trailer, but it's interesting how the reviews they chose for the trailer merely describe the game as "solid". Usually if they show such reviews in a trailer it would say something like "masterpiece 10/10". Personally, I'm still not very interested in the title, since I don't like the Dynasty Warriors games.
@BossBattles It's never specified Link needs to be male in Zelda lore. There have been other changes in his character and appearance too, like his haircolor. You're only saying that your headcanon would be destroyed if link was female.
@vamkar Samus is a continuous character while link is a different person almost every game. There is no reason, in Zelda lore, for there not to be a female link.
That's awesome. I will get this for sure, though I think I prefer the vita games. The project diva games just have way more interesting and detailed background videos.
It's already being sold everywhere in Germany. In online mode, most players are from Germany, Spain, France and Japan, so those seem to be the countries that broke the street date. Haven't seen a single American player yet. I went to two stores today and both already had it. I cancelled my Amazon preorder since they also sold it slightly cheaper.
I'm sure it will be a good game, but I have to say it also looks pretty unremarkable. It's also baffling how they managed to make it look worse than the original. Something I might buy for 10€ or less.
The new graphics look awful. They could have redone the original sprites with the same style but an upscaled resolution. Instead, they now look like a generic smartphone game. The interface look pretty bad too.
Wow, extremely disappointing. The "High quality" still looks worse than 240p. The 3DS should be capable of handling much higher quality videos. Well, it's not like I really need it, especially while there isn't even a 3D option.
This is sad. I thought Nintendo was over this by now. It's good that they want to protect children but that doesn't have to mean to suspend entire services that adults also use. This way, we will never get a decent online service.
AC: Liberation? I played through the game once, thought it was ok, and then sold it. It just isn't a special or memorable game. On the other hand there were many great 3DS titles like Fire Emblem. So I can't say I agree with them.
Good review. Just a little bit of nitpicking: Blackforest games didn't just buy the IP from Spellbound, they basically are spellbound. They just changed their name and decided to go indie, so this giana sisters is made by many of the people involved in the original game.
It looks awesome but is also very expensive. The game itself is very expensive for a game that I already own the original version of. But still, I really want it....
@KnightRider666 I don't think many people would buy a 40$ cartridge for an 8$ smartphone game that has also been available for as low as 1$ before. It wouldn't make sense to release this on cartridge.
I played some of Kemco's games on Android and found them decidedly average. Not bad for an RPG on android but considering the great titles available for DS and 3DS I don't see any reason for me to buy this. Of course, this version does have the advantage of the controls probably not being horrible.
@BraveBold5 I don't think the shadow of the eternals guys would like this. An official sequel would probably mean that people will care more for the official than the spiritual successor. If you think that SotE will be picked up by Nintendo and renamed as Eternal darkness, that won't happen unless the kickstarter gets cancelled and the game is not released for PC.
@dumedum 1. It's a fantasy game where you are fighting against bugs. Do you seriously try to turn this into some kind of serious historic commentary? 2. German soldiers in WW2 were fighting for the nazis, but that doesn't mean every German or German soldier at that time was automatically a nazi. No, the Nazis aren't the "good guys" in this game and the game doesn't glorify (or even mention) their ideology in any way.
This looks like it will only hold 1 game at a time, so I doubt many people will use it. I might buy a flashcard, if a decent amount of 3DS homebrew is released. There was some pretty great 3DS homebrew. I'd rather like the hackers to work on a device to get around the 3DS' region protection. I'd totally buy that.
I think the big advantage the WiiU has, is being a traditional console. It doesn't have any of the crippling limitations like always-on and not being able to sell used games, that the x1 has and the ps4 may have. No gamer wants this, and while the WiiU may be significantly less powerful, I still think it has a strong advantage with this.
I would even buy this game for the PC, but I think this will be the first game I won't buy just because I dislike its developer so much. Nearly every time he says something it seems to be extremely stupid and offensive.

Re: Nexis Games Launches Kickstarter For Minecraft Clone, UCraft Today

Re: 3DS System Update 9.0.0-20 Is Now Live with Home Menu Themes

Re: More Minecraft Mania Looks Set for Wii U With Stone Shire
I wouldn't even mind a decent minecraft clone, but this looks very barebones right now. They would have to do a lot more work to make this worthwhile.
Re: Video: This Hyrule Warriors Launch Trailer Aims to be Legendary
Good trailer, but it's interesting how the reviews they chose for the trailer merely describe the game as "solid". Usually if they show such reviews in a trailer it would say something like "masterpiece 10/10".
Personally, I'm still not very interested in the title, since I don't like the Dynasty Warriors games.
Re: First Image Of Wii U Wipeout-Beater FAST Racing NEO Speeds Into View
Some repetitive textures, but it certainly look pretty! Really excited for this game.
Re: Rising Star Games Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary With A European And North American 3DS eShop Sale
@ColdingLight Actually, he is completely right. Those games may be available in the US, but they are not published by rising star games there.

Re: Arc System Works Releases Ghostly Visual Novel Adventure On Japanese 3DS eShop
Looks great. Would be an instabuy if they release it in Europe.
Re: Nintendo Releases an Extended Gameplay Trailer for Yoshi's New Island
I'm sure it will be a good game, but I have to say it also looks pretty unremarkable. It's also baffling how they managed to make it look worse than the original. Something I might buy for 10€ or less.
Re: Final Fantasy VI On Android Is Pricey and Looks Rather Peculiar

Re: Monster Savings To Be Had On Nintendo UK's Online Store, But You'll Want To Be Quick
@Kolzig The codes work perfectly fine in the rest of Europe too. I successfully bought Mario & Luigi from Germany.
Re: Monster Savings To Be Had On Nintendo UK's Online Store, But You'll Want To Be Quick
Just got my code, and it can be redeemed in the german eshop, too.
Re: Monster Savings To Be Had On Nintendo UK's Online Store, But You'll Want To Be Quick
Anyone else still didn't get their code? I'm starting to doubt my order will be honored.
Re: Monster Savings To Be Had On Nintendo UK's Online Store, But You'll Want To Be Quick
Over 30 Minutes since confirmation... no code yet
Re: Nintendo Is Sorry That The Wii U's TVii Service Hasn't Launched In The UK Yet
They haven't even released lovefilm here in Germany, despite the service being available. I'm kind of disappointed
Re: Monster Savings To Be Had On Nintendo UK's Online Store, But You'll Want To Be Quick
Also, all the games are gone now, as it seems.
Re: Monster Savings To Be Had On Nintendo UK's Online Store, But You'll Want To Be Quick
Bought M&L but no code yet. Hope I wasn't too late.
Re: The 3DS YouTube App Has Finally Gone Live
Wow, extremely disappointing. The "High quality" still looks worse than 240p. The 3DS should be capable of handling much higher quality videos. Well, it's not like I really need it, especially while there isn't even a 3D option.
Re: 2DS For $99.99 Among Major Sales Arriving On Black Friday
No black friday here in Germany, but I bet the cyber monday week on amazon will have some good offers too.
Re: Senran Kagura Burst Will Brawl Its Way Onto the North American eShop on 14th November
Will probably buy the physical release, such an unlikely title to reach the west. Gameplay looks fun too.
Re: Nintendo Disables Swapnote's SpotPass Service Due to Online Safety Concerns
This is sad. I thought Nintendo was over this by now. It's good that they want to protect children but that doesn't have to mean to suspend entire services that adults also use. This way, we will never get a decent online service.
Re: Nintendo Comes Up Empty at the Golden Joystick Awards
AC: Liberation? I played through the game once, thought it was ok, and then sold it. It just isn't a special or memorable game. On the other hand there were many great 3DS titles like Fire Emblem. So I can't say I agree with them.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd October (Europe)
Wow, 45€ is very expensive for rhythm thief, considering I got the game last week for 10€...
Re: The Pokémon Company Brings Back Its "Gotta Catch 'Em All" Sweepstakes
@gregrout Refusing to buy a game because you can't enter a promotion? Seriously?
Re: The Pokémon Company Brings Back Its "Gotta Catch 'Em All" Sweepstakes
It doesn't seem very smart to have the comments enabled for this video, you just need to look there to get the code. Also, Pokemon dubstep? No thanks.

Re: Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Reportedly Sells Less Than 2000 Copies in Debut Week
I would totally buy this, as I've been interested in playing this series for quite some time. Seems like it's unlikely though, sadly.
Re: Senran Kagura Burst Confirmed For Physical And 3DS eShop Release In Europe
Okaaay, that was unexpected.

Re: Broken Rules Unveils SECRETS OF RÆTIKON
If this is single player focused I will gladly buy it for WiiU or PC. So far it sounds pretty great.
Re: Nintendo Preparing A New Chapter For eBooks On 3DS This Fall
It could be cool for comics and the like, but I would never read a regular eBook on my 3DS. There are reasons eBook readers have eInk displays.

Re: Pachter: Without Third Party Support Nintendo Fans May End Up Buying A Second Console

@Tasuki I'm also wondering about that. I just asked the Nintendo email support, so I hope they will clear this up.

Re: Doesn't Look Like Minecraft Will Be Coming To Wii U Anytime Soon
If it was anything like the xbox version then nope, I wouldn't buy it. I have the superior PC version, so why would I need another console port?,
