@23, I'm not saying this game is going to be bad or something. I love Shantae on DSiWare. But compared to the earlier mentioned games and Wario Land 4, there is not a whole lot that distingished itself from the GBA titles. Same with this game. If this was DSiWare, I would be less critical. But this is a retail game and it has to be something really special for me to get excited about. So far, I'm not.
@15, the two GBA Metroid's spring to mind, the GBA Castlavania games. Just to name a few. And not much is now about this one (no moving footage and more specs). But so far I'm not that impressed.
Doesn't look all that special (apart from the alien in screen 4). Have to wait for some more (and moving) footage because I think a lot of this could (and have been done) on the GBA. Even DSiWare which WayForward have done themself with Shantae. So it has to be something really special if they make a retail out of it.
Pretty stupid not to include online multiplayer (I assumed it had online support). Which makes the camera feature in this game pretty pointless. Why do you want to look at a stamp size video of your opponent with 1 fps while you can just look up from your handheld and stare to the real life person in the same room.
This is actually quite a brilliant idea. How is it possible that no one ever came up with this. I hope that they manage to add some sort of game in there. Instead of making the pots of course.
Curious about the add-on. Not buying a whole new system just for an extra stick. But the add-on sounds interesting. But since it's just a rumor, I'm not going to pay much attention to it for now.
For the dutch people on here. Use https://www.3vcash.nl. It's a pre-paid creditcard which is secure, easy and fast. Within a few minutes you are downloading eShop games.
Expected as much. DSiWare version works really well and I didn't think that it would translate well to the big screen without direct touch control. I do find it odd that the same way of control isn't a problem for the PS3 version (according to NintendoLife). Maybe different reviewers, different tastes?
According to the dutch gfk charts. It didn't make any impact. It didn't enter the Wii list and it didn't enter the all-platform list. The list comes out on Saturday, so it maybe it just haven't been pre-ordered that much (have to wait for next week to be sure).
Difficult question not counting the remakes on other systems. I love Donald in Maui Mallard, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose!, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World. I also played the crap out of Killer Instinct and Super Mario Kart which I think I played the most.
So which one to choose? I think I go for Super Mario Kart.
And I still have loads of SNES games that I have but still need to play (Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3, Super Punch-Out, Super Mario All-Stars, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana etc. etc.). So this could change.
Hope mine won't have this problem. It just arrived in the mail but I haven't tried it out because my sister and her friend took over mine Wii. Fingers crossed.
I love the trailer of 3D Classics: Urban Champion, but considering it's reputation, I'll wait for a review. I love Flight Control on DSiWare. So this have to be something special will I pick it up. The other two DSiWare titles, don't really sound that interesting.
@B4SDR4G, since your from the Netherlands, use 3vcash.nl. It's basically a virtual prepaid creditcard but it works with iDeal. It's safe, easy and most important, very quick. Within 5 minutes you are downloading games in the eShop or on the Wii.
About this game. I like it. I don't like the cute graphics in comparison to the serious story but I love the gameplay idea. Too bad not more was done puzzle wise. With certain characters only being able to open certain doors or that sort of things. What I also don't like is that the game goes from very easy, to brutally difficult in the last two levels (especially the last). Music is good, expect level 4, that's terrible. I like this game, but I think it's more of an 7 or 7,5.
What I feared, glad I didn't buy it day one (like I almost intended to do). NintendoDaan1 youtube video decided me not to get it and I made the right choice.
I think that there's a place for both. But sometimes I'm really impressed with how well the 2D looks years after it came out. The problem with 3D is that most of the times, it doesn't age very well. Especially realistic graphics. Games with cartoony or cel-shaded 3D looks much better after many years. I also think that we are nearing a point soon where 3D can't really get any better in a few years. I'm hoping for a big return of FMV though, huge fan.
I doubt the outcome of the review would be different. The then unremoveable save file wasn't that important for the review and score and I think it's just mentioned.
The only game that caught my attention is Monochrome Racing, but the trailer made me dizzy. Not interested in Pac-Man and My Australian Farm. Go! Go! Kokopolo looks to chaotic, and even though The Lost Town: The Dust sounds very interesting, the screenshots doesn't excited me at all.
Thet makes me feel better about the price drop. Can't wait for the full list of titles we can get for free because I have most of the titles in the news post.
Well I don't care. I don't use pirate games. Piracy stops people from making or releasing games (like AAI in the Netherlands). So I won't shed a tear if someones 3DS that uses piracy equipment gets bricked.
@rdvid Use 3vcash (http://www.3vcash.nl). This is just an online credit card where you pay for with iDeal. Minimum is 20 Euro and you pay 1 Euro administration like cost. After that, you can buy whatever you want on the Wii, DSi and the 3DS.
Well nothing for me again. Already have played and finished Mario's Picross (great game) and plan on getting Airport Mania: First Flight instead of Non-Stop Flight. I do wished we got America's games though. That WiiWare racer looked like a lot of fun and the Game & Watch game would be my first 3DSVC game.

Re: North American NES Ambassador Games Announced
Still disappointed that Kid Icarus isn't one of the games. Otherwise I look forward to the Europe announcement and the games themself.
Re: Talking Point: eShop Card Delay Proves Nintendo Still Doesn't Get It
I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Big fail on Nintendo's part. Thankfully I've been using 3VCash since the launch (a prepaid creditd card).

Re: Inazuma Eleven Finally Makes it to UK Today
It is out in The Netherlands for a while now. In fact, it was last weeks number two in the all-platforms list.

Re: Nintendo Download: 25th August 2011 (Europe)
Gargoyle's Quest is awesome. Go get it. Since I still have the original cartridge, I won't though.
That WiiWare title sounds interesting, waiting for the review first though.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
Haven't played it much (about an hour) and I really like it. Only complaint so far is that the faces in close up look really bad.
Re: Talking Point: What Was the Best Super NES Game Ever?

Re: Horse Around with This Sims 3 Pets Trailer
My sister enjoyed the DS versions of Sims 2. So I have no doubt that she would love this one.
Re: Super Mario Land 2 and Metroid II Heading to 3DS Virtual Console

Re: Wii Budget Range Grows with Super Mario Galaxy and More
Such a shame that I already have all those games (when they were more expensive). Except for Sluggers, but that one hasn't been released in Europe

Re: Nintendo Download: 11th August 2011 (Europe)
No WiiWare and no VC. Come on Nintendo. I have some interest in Avenging Spirit and that fisihing game might be interesting.

Re: European 3DS Price to Drop by a Third, says Nintendo
Pretty bummed about the price drop,but 20 games make me feel better .
Re: Uh Oh, Now Namco Goes for Single 3DS Save File
Don't care, it's just a score based game and some achievements/unlockables.
