SatAM looks pretty awesome, but the last video of Sonic X-treme looks horrible. That's the worst video I've seen of any game pre-production or otherwise.
This is all just a result of the human instinct to categorize things, and to integrate these categories into social pressures. It's quite silly, and I just ignore it. This is one of the major reasons why I now frequent NLife more than IGN or Kotaku, etc. Just straight up games journalism with clearly-labeled editorials and such. I truly appreciate this.
Nice read. I believe the 3D technology of the 3DS is something that can be used to quite literally add another dimension to gaming. The possibilities for the 3DS are one of the few things that still excites me about the video game industry, what with the constant production of stale, lifeless sequels and FPS's. I look to Metal Gear Solid as a game to really look forward to, and I hope the technology will be utilized to its full potential. I can imagine peaking around a wall, a tree, whatever it may be, using the gyroscope and feeling as if the world never ends, a sense only given by the 3DS's 3D. I truly believe that Nintendo will produce a game that shows not only the potential of the 3DS, but shows what the 3DS and the 3D technology can do in terms of gameplay and a completely new experience.
As I said before, the game doesn't look like Layton at all. There's just a top hat and an intriguing plot. No one seems to know how the game will actually play, or if the puzzles will be like Layton at all. The screenshots don't look similar. Regardless, the majority of games are "inspired" by or ripped from another. Big deal.
So what. I know what he means, but he misspoke a little. He's basically just trying to say he doesn't want a flood of crap 2 minute games. Really, his comment doesn't really even matter. He just wants commitment to "quality."
I plan on buying 4 DS games before the 3DS, if I can ever get the cash. And they're all new releases. Theoretically, DS games shouldn't die, considering that the 3DS is back-compatible. But the excitement surrounding the 3DS and its games will drown out the remaining DS releases, which is quite sad considering some of the unique and great titles just now being released including Ghost Trick and Radiant Historia. I'll continue to support the DS as long as creative, unique games are released.
Ah well, I wasn't going to waste my money on this anyway. The developers seem a little picky with the whole "Sony didn't shower us with love so screw them." If anything though, this should open Nintendo's eyes to the problems their size limits create, even if this is just Team Meat's way of cutting the work load.
I love when exclusives are sold out to other systems and end up being better on the non-original system. Then again, I can understand why it would be in their best interest to release the game wherever possible, but it doesn't come without making some people mad.
At this rate, Puzzle Agent the forgotten pilot episode won't be released on WiiWare either. My appreciation of Telltale has just decreased after they released Strong Bad.
Unless this is actually supported by Nintendo and other companies, it will end up like the balance board or Wii Speak. I got Wii Speak 2 years ago, and haven't used it once.
I'll get Ocarina of Time, maybe Prof. Layton. Really expected Kid Icarus, but hey. Thank god the titles I really want aren't being released at launch, or there's no way I'd be able to buy all of them.

Re: Bplus Wants your Input in Developing Three 3DS eShop Games
Oh boy! This has been: a very sarcastic comment.
Re: Super Mario 3DS Has More Thrills, Less Exploration
Perfect combination for a handheld 3D Mario platformer.
Re: We May Have 8-Player Online with Mario Kart 3DS
Will be the biggest game for the 3DS, and probably sell a lot more of them.
Re: Star Fox 64 3D Lands in North America on 11th September
Lol, nothing wrong with releasing a harmless game on 9/11. People are too sensitive. Does it really matter? No.

Re: RedLynx Talks 3DS and Future WiiWare Development
This game has to be good because it has a "z" instead of an "s" in the title.
Re: Ubisoft Goes Out on a Limb to Bring Rayman Origins to Wii
Awesome.
Re: Developer Blog Excavates More Details on Dr Lautrec
Looks very good. I'm excited for this game. They should've given the Doctor a French accent though, indeed. And everyone else for that matter.
Re: Not Konami's Intention to Make Lautrec Look Like Layton

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword is Half Finished, says Miyamoto
Gotta love the melodrama.
Re: Excavating the First Dr Lautrec 3DS Screenshots
The screenshots look nothing like Layton. The only similarity is the main character design and mystery aspect. As far as I can tell.

Ok, now I'm going to get the whole series. Awesome little poem thing.

Re: Telltale's Back to the Future Not Coming to Wii
At this rate, Puzzle Agent the forgotten pilot episode won't be released on WiiWare either. My appreciation of Telltale has just decreased after they released Strong Bad.
Re: Vitality Sensor Details and Game Ideas Emerge in Patent Application
Unless this is actually supported by Nintendo and other companies, it will end up like the balance board or Wii Speak. I got Wii Speak 2 years ago, and haven't used it once.
Re: Feast Your Eyes on 3DS's Launch Line Up in Japan
