@Kal_ or people could spend their money however they want.

There's a whole lot of denial going on in this thread. I love my 3DS as much as the next person, but anyone who doesn't think that Mobile and Tablet gaming is going to just keep eating up the market is fooling themselves. Every day more and more of these devices make their way into people's hands. All types of people young and old carry a smartphone, and love to kill time with a quick game of Angry Birds, or even a round of something like Warhammer Quest.

These games are usually easy to pick up and put back down, which makes them perfect for gaming on the go. Also, despite what people seem to think there's a lot of games on Mobile with a lot of depth, and an entire new generation that are learning to play them with touch screens.

For those of us who have grown up before the rise of the smart device; we prefer buttons. Young people now will be growing up with an entirely new way of controlling their games — touch, and motion. Things are going to be very different in the field of portable gaming in the next ten years. There's no use denying it unfortunately.

This can't get onto the eShop fast enough! I've yet to buy an eShop release on day one, but Shovel Knight is just the game to make me break that trend.

I've actually never finished this game despite having owned the cartridge for years. For thirty cents I'm going to change one of my greatest gaming shames. Very excited!

Yes please get AVP on consoles. I've wanted a home port of this since the fifth grade!

I was a little hesitant about an Etrian Odyssey that doesn't let you create your own party, but this game looks fantastic. The cutscenes are gorgeous, and the party members all look good.

This might be a good way to expand EO's audience. Hopefully they'll continue doing this more story driven style as a spin off.

EDIT: Upon further inspection I found out you can play this in CLASSIC mode; which basically let's you play it like a traditional Wizardry style blobber. AWESOME.

Good lord Nintendo...your 3DS line up for this year is making my wallet cry tears of blood.

The game looks amazing. I didn't donate to the Kickstarter, but I'll be happily buying the game when it finally gets released. I may even double dip on 3DS and Wii U.

I'm so glad these are finally getting a release on home consoles. Heres hoping for Alien vs Predator sometime in the future.

KOS-MOS! Mega Man! Dante!

Count me in for sure. I'm hugely surprised this is making it's way across the pond.

Being the designer of some of the gaming industries most critically acclaimed and beloved games makes you a ham head? Interesting.

I agree with Warren for the most part. I think there's a place in gaming for a more emotionally involving and less action oriented titles. A game like Ico springs to mind instantly as a game that narrows that gap. Theres room for growth, and theres a place for this kind of thing.

I think people who are assuming he thinks every game being released needs to fit this description are being a bit narrow minded. Its mainly an expression of the fact that theres a place in gaming for this kind of experience if developers were willing to nurture it and help it grow more.

Maybe they should have stuck with the traditional single player nature of the series and not try for an MMO cash grab?

It's certainly important for third parties to have access to a popular engine like Unreal Tech in order for the Wii U to be successful. Here's hoping it scales well enough for developers to want to use it on the U.

Mark Rein has a big mouth though. Always has.
