This is still shocking but it's not a total whoa moment, this has happened to some game franchises getting a different rating overtime. The only notable ones I remember is Kingdom Hearts going from E for Everyone to T for Teen, and the Prince of Persia games going from T to M. I think everyone remembers the first (and only time) Mortal Kombat went to a Teen Rating when they released Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe. I'm not saying the M Rating is truly justified for Ace Attorney, there could be absolutely nothing wrong with it to make it M, just like Ninety Nine Nights on the 360.
I always saw achievements/trophies as way to replay the game more and more. I remember PS3 not having trophies in the beginning then adding trophies years later. Maybe Nintendo will be the same.
@Erica_Hartmann I don't want to say it hack and slash like Devil May Cry, but yeah just think of it like that but REALLY fun, I cannot stress how fun the original game was.
@fredtoy I remember the 1st kairosoft Game I played was Game Dev Story, and instantly took away 5 hours of continuous gameplay of my life in one day. I highly hope this game is similar to the KairoSoft games, Hot Springs Story being one of my favorites.
But...But... I just joined NL. D: I really love all your articles James. I will miss you, for the amount of time I got to read your articles from both Past and Present.
The Kirby Pinball GB doesn't look all that compelling for 3DS VC but it's a start, seeing as we NA people haven't had a 3DS VC since the Sega Handheld.
I really wish NA had some of the 3DS VC titles Europe and Japan are getting now, I'm practically dying for Super Mario Land 3: Wario land to come already. :
@wildebeast147 Like what @kyuubikid213, another reason in my opinion was that the game was announced at E3 but after the poor sales reception the 3DS first got, Ubisoft cancelled it.
Sometimes you have to rely on the things that helps you the most. I mean, if it weren't for both Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS in 2011 but rather 2012, I think the 3DS' lifespan would have suffered horribly.
Really wished I had gotten my 3DS two days earlier before the Price Drop and the Ambassador Program just so I could have gotten my hands on the most nostalgic game (not to mention, the first ever GBA game I ever had) on my 3DS. Sadly, my birthday is on August 14th and not a few days before... But alas, there's some hope for the eShop sometime in the future.
Really loved Mario Tennis (GBC) though I've only played Mario Tennis (GBA) for 5 minutes at a friend's house. If there really isn't a Story Mode or anything, I'd still get it, never stopped me from begging parents for Mario Tennis on the N64.
Hey Hey, before jumping on the hate bandwagon, we must think of the PS3 and 360 Launch Prices when they first came out. I'm just glad it's not $599.99 U.S Dollars.

Re: Video: There's A Fan-Made Final Fantasy VI Movie In The Works

Re: Eiji Aonuma and Hideki Konno Wander Into The StreetPass Mii Plaza
If we're getting all these SpotPass Miis, I wonder if we'll get Sakurai as well.
Re: Retro Chose Donkey Kong Over Metroid as Its First Wii U Title
To me, it's cool they work on DK. Retro has worked on 3 Metroid games already so a sequel to DKCR is alright in my book.

Re: 3DS Version Of Super Smash Bros 4 To Be Shown At E3

Re: Publisher Dream Bringing Game Development Aspirations to DSiWare

Re: Wii U Won't Include Trophies Or Achievements

Re: Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon

I'm not much for the Hunter-Game Genre, but the price isn't half bad at all.
Re: What Not To Do With Your Brand New 3DS XL
Microwaving a specific item has always been a tradition on YouTube, infact there's an entire channel involving two guys who do that all the time.

Whoa, Sword of Hope II is actually just $3? Definite buy when I get my eShop Card this week.
Re: Angry Birds Trilogy Takes Aim at 3DS
It better be like the Cave Story Remake, if not, I find it atrocious to pay more than $10 on the retail, it should be eShop Material!

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th July 2012 (Europe)
Question, how do you guys get the info for each Weekly eShop Update for Europe, does America always release their info last minute?
Re: Smash Bros. Wii U Wait Could Be Even Longer Than We Thought
I'm still guessing 2014 will be the year at the least.

Re: E3 2012: Probably The Best E3 Video Of All Time

The Kirby Pinball GB doesn't look all that compelling for 3DS VC but it's a start, seeing as we NA people haven't had a 3DS VC since the Sega Handheld.

Still no word on this game. D;
