Capcom purposely did this to stint the growth of the used games market, as those with this "limited edition" will keep their game when they might have traded it in previously.
If someone saw you in public just waving your 3DS around, they'd think you were crazy. This opinion would be strengthened if they saw that you were playing this game.
I think the 3DS looks very nice in its current form sans Circle Pad Pro. It looks better than the DSi imho, and I like the design of that console as well. I don't see how it looks like a cheap toy, but to each his own.
No one listens to warioswoods. But I do, and I believe he is right in saying Nintendo will most likely not release a revision of the 3DS with a second analogue. Maybe that's just because I want to believe it, but his points of added bulk among others make sense.
None of these ideas sound very exciting to me. I don't want to play with toys while reading, nor does loading info to a card sound ground-breaking. I doubt Nintendo will utilize this functionality very much.
@69: I think I know what you're talking about. Sometimes the boss battles can ruin the flow of the game. Some games like Super Mario 3D have handled this very well, but I'm anxious to see how a lack of bosses makes the game feel.
@30: Driving a car that goes up to 200 mph for up to 4 hours isn't a sport? It gets extremely hot in the car, and some tracks have tremendous G-forces. It isn't just cruising around a highway. Any break in concentration during those 4 hours can cost a driver the entire race. Just controlling an extremely heavy car at such speeds is exhausting, let alone all other factors. To endure these conditions and still be concentrated and skilled enough to try to win a race requires a driver to be in top physical shape. If this isn't a sport, I don't know what is.
But I guess if you consider cheerleading to be a sport, there's no point in trying to reason with you.
@28: Well, where I live, NASCAR is quickly associated with "white trash" and the term rednecks is used almost as derrogitively as he "n" word. So you can see why I would be touchy on the subject. The sport obviously originated in the south, but I take issue with everyone assuming all NASCAR fans are the derrogitively connotated redneck.
@26: The target audience is traditionally those who reside in the southern states, but that does not mean the whole sport revolves around "rednecks." I am far from a redneck and I have been a NASCAR fan for 10 years. The technical aspect of the sport with the aerodynamics of the cars is fascinating. And there are many fans who do not reside in the south.
The concentration it takes to control the cars, which are not very easy to control at all, let alone the pure physical shape you must be in to withstand the extreme G-forces endured at some tracks and wheel around an extremely heavy, under-sensitve stock car make it more of an athletic sport than football, where completely out of shape men can stand there and block people. Only half the team is in any physical shape.
And if you don't want to converse about sports, then don't. It's not a mandatory discussion. The game is a sports game, licensed by one of the largest sports in America. I am simply calling out one of the many, for lack of a better word, idiots who go around spewing stereotypes and sparking argument.
@10: Maybe 35 years ago. Do some research before regurgitating stereotypes, 99% of the drivers in the series today are from anywhere but the south. In fact, most of the drivers are from California. NASCAR is more of a sport than football will ever be, and I am personally sick of seeing and hearing things such as this.
The old Playstation games were ace, glad to hear the HD versions of this one turned out alright.
I mean, I really want to like this game. But it's the poor visuals from such a high profile publisher/developer and the apparent lack of inspiration is making it difficult.
That is their old logo yes? I've always felt for the company, bit I can't say I've ever actually purchased or been interested in any of their games. Hopefully they make something good enough for the Wii U to stay afloat.
Brilliant tag line, exemplifies exactly why I probably won't get this game. The graphics look like uninspired Runescape graphics, and the gameplay sounds boring.
I remember getting this game for my GBA when I was pretty young, and I was blown away. I loved this game. I loved Yoshi's Island DS as well. These games are better than any of the Super Mario 2D platformers IMO, and I can only hope another is developed for the 3DS/Wii U.
Great site with great reviews and a thriving community. It's nearly an online Nintendo Power. And trust me, from me that's a huge compliment. Here's to another great one at NLife, Happy New Year.
@James Ah, that is cool. I didn't see it in its own category, so I just assumed it wouldn't be considered anywhere else. Truly a very enjoyable game though!

Re: Talking Point: The Future of Pokémon
Excellently well-written feature. You could've told me they should make all the Pokemon look like Bidoof and I would have happily agreed.
Re: Feature: The Joy of Gaming Together
I prefer gaming alone in my room with the lights off while I am not wearing pants. It makes me feel cool and mysterious.
Re: Mario Party 2 Joins the Club Nintendo Rewards Gang
I waited the first two rounds to see if they would make available a game I truly wanted, but now I'm afraid I will ever see one.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Considering Alternative Names for Wii U
Nintendo Revolution (HD.) But they've gone with names less wordy as of late, so I doubt it.
Re: North American Resident Evil Packaging is Wrong

Too bad they didn't misspell the publisher's name as Crapcom...

Re: Unsheath Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword on 2nd February
If this gets a strong review, it makes my eShop decisions much more difficult.

Re: Icon Games: "Nintendo's Policies Put Jobs at Risk"

Yes master. Right away.
Re: Icon Games: "Nintendo's Policies Put Jobs at Risk"
Sales information isn't going to help if you're games are s**t. But let me help: You didn't sell anything Icon. There is no sales information.
