I never had a Genesis but I rented one a couple of times and my favorite games were Altered Beast, Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe 2 and of course Space Harrier. I hope they release all of them everywhere (Europe, US and Canada and anywhere else) so we can all get this gaming goodness. Man just thinking of playing those again is getting me all nostalgic.
I had so much fun with this game. Finished it so many times too. The second one was pretty cool two except for the slowdowns. The games after that were bad but the first two were great. The controls have evolve so much since those games that playing them today would be a pain. Anyway so many games and so little time.
I hope I'm not the only one but I've been waiting for a nice poker game on the 3DS with online play of course. You'd think the big names in poker would've come up with one already but no.
I wish they'd release SNES games on the 3DS Eshop already. I mean it's not like the system can't handle those games. They would make a lot of money and we would have cool games so it would be a win-win. I'll keep an eye out for the Chain blaster review for now.
I also liked the game back on NES and was glad to see it in the Eshop. I'll get it eventually cause now money evades me. I do wish they would bring the similar title Spelunky that came out for the 360 and coming to Vita. It would be a perfect fit for the 3DS.
It's not surprising that Animal Crossing is doing well. You could buy only this game and you'd be good for the year and maybe more. There's so much stuff you can do and it's so addictive. Apart from playing Black Ops 2 with my inlaws on Xbox live Friday and Saturday nights every other games have been left behind. Gotta get back to Monster Hunter and Etrian Odyssey IV though.....eventually.
@undead_terror Another Canadian waiting for the game. I had Ikaruga back when it came out and to get an experience like it on the 3DS is just awesome. I'll get it as soon as it's out.....well if my wallet allows me.
@SteveW Amnesia is an awesome game. It's made by Frictional Games. Never played anything on the Wii-U so I can't say if it would work well with the pad. It would be a great game for Wii-U users that's for sure.
@julienpoo Exactly! I read your comment after posting mine so all in all you wrote what I wanted to say. Daggerfall, Morrowind or a new one would be a dream come true on the 3DS.
@datamonkey Castlevania is cool but if you want something that will last you longer I'd go with Animal Crossing assuming you played a previous game in the series. You have a choice between an action platformer of about 15-20 hours or a relaxing and peaceful title that can last you years.
I though about getting it digital but I don't have enough blocks free on my 3DS and this must take a lot. Did two Gamestop today who were all out and found a copy, the last one, at a wallmart but what would've been a 45 minutes walking trip (return included) ended being a 3 hours bus trip. I always prefer having a physical copy but if I had the space I'd probably go digital. Less trouble and you can get it at midnight usually.
Man I got to admit that even though I'm not that far in MH3U cause I'm not too good I'll get this on day one. I love those games. If that black one is an XL and comes to America, I'll probably get it too.
@MadAdam81 Okay...eeeee.....I'm really not a fan of Sony but even if what we saw during the PS4 reveal was really not the most impressive thiing, it's still beyond what the Wii U can do. Don't forget that the Wii U is comparable to the PS3 and 360 in power and not much more. Also Sony revealed pretty much nothing about the games so E3 will be where you might see what exclusive they have.
The Wii outsold the PS3 and 360 because of the innovation of the controller but even then if you check hardcore gamers that have all three console and ask them the one they use most I'm pretty sure the Wii falls in last because of it's lack of good games. Mine has been gathering dust for quite a while. My PS3 I use mostly for Blu-rays and I play games on my 360.
The Wii U came too late, it's not selling well cause at this point gamers are waiting for the next generations of consoles or because again of the lack of games. It could turn around like it did for the 3DS and I'd be happy to see it cause I always liked Nintendo and I really like my 3DS but I seriously doubt it. I hope they prove me otherwise but for now I think Nintendo is going the same way Sega went.
Got this on the 360 and it's the best play experience I had in the last years. The game oozes atmosphere and the music is beautiful. It's a world that sucks you in and you don't want to leave. Played this gem from beginning to end without playing anything else which considering I've got more games than time is quite an acomplishment. I don't have a Wii U but I'm glad that the owners will get to enjoy this gem. I sincerely hope it does well.
@DrSlump You have to understand it's only a demo. There's a tutorial in the full game. I played all the games on PSP and of course if your looking for a story you will be dissapointed as there not much of a story in those games. If you like crafting, looting and grinding though you're in for a nice treat.
Apart from the cleavage part which really doesn't bother me at all (sorry I'm a man and I love boobs), the levels and gameplay looks better than the first one. The Anime look is way better than the futuristic tron-like graphics of the first game. Hope it makes it in NA.
Getting Etrian Odyssey IV, Monster Hunter, Castlevania, Animal Crossing and then this.....Man this is an awesome year for the 3DS. I've been waiting for a Mario Golf game since the system launched so this is really great news for me.
I own all three games on the DS. I still haven't finished any of them but these are awesome games. Got this one pre-ordered on Amazon.ca with all the goodies. I think I'll buy a nice bottle of wine to celebrate when I get the game. My 3DS was born for this game...ok maybe not but I was hoping for this since I bought it.
Seriously hope it makes it here. If it gets to the US we usually get it in Canada so let's hope it does. The game looks really cool. Japan got really great games. I'd love to go there someday and more to actually learn japanese language like I learned english....eee yeah I'm french you see so ee yeah.
Got it yesterday as soon as I woke up but haven't had the chance to play yet. Can't wait to play it this weekend. Great review......I nearly called in sick at work...nearly......but no I need the money
Not planning on getting the Wii U but I'm getting this on 3DS that's for damn sure. Portable Monster Hunter is just plain awesome. The news made my week.
I just signed the petition. My Wii is gathering dust so this game would make me clean it up. Seriously though I had it on the Xbox back in the day and it's one of the scariest games I've played since I first played a game on Coleco vision or intellivision or ......Pong....wow...that's a long time ago....man I'm getting old.
Thanks for reminding me of Torchlight 2 Iforgot about this one. I just pre-purchased it on steam. But seriously even though I have Diablo 3 and it's awesome, Heroes of Ruin is really cool, it's portable and you have the daily and weekly challenges also so it's a pretty good buy if you ask me. And if you don't I'm telling anyway
The Monster Hunter franchise was a reason to keep my PSP charged, now I hope they'll bring this one here (Canada) so I can experience it on my awesome 3DS.
That game was the reason I got a Gamecube. I played the crap out of it. To get the best ending you had to finish it with all the different gods so three times if I remember correctly. One of the best gaming experience I had since I started playing on intellivision during the 80's. If they would do a remake or a sequel with todays consoles or PC I would be the happiest man alive.
Great review. I probably would still have got this even if it got a 6 as a portable diablo clone is just what I need now. I picking it up as soon as it's on store shelves here on July 17th.
Didn't try the demo yet as I don't think it's out yet in america (Canada actually) but you have to remember that it's a demo not the actual game so some times there is some bugs in them that won't be in the final game. I'll wait for an official review before making my mind but i've been waiting for this so it would be dissapointing if the game was bad.
I played the heck out of this on the original black and white(kinda yellowish) Gameboy and I still have it so to me it was a no-brainer. Can't wait to play it again. I do hope they release the SNES version on 3DS also.
Well I gave in and just ordered AC: City Folk for Wii on Amazon.ca. It will let me learn what an AC game is and keep me busy till the 3DS one is out. I hope they make an announcement for this at E3.
I have 3DS games with great graphics like RE: Revelation, Mario Land 3D and Mario Kart 7 but this one seems so colorfull and pretty in it's own way that you just want to dive right in!
I like DLC when it's an expansion and not something that should've been in the game to start with. If they release some DLC with new stuff after the game is out I'd be cool with that. I never played any of the other Animal Crossing but I'm really interested in this one. Hope it's coming soon.

Re: Thinking Of Buying Animal Crossing: New Leaf? Go Digital, Says Iwata

Re: Latest Castlevania: Mirror Of Fate Trailer Teases Simon Belmont's Tale
