any information on an update that fixes the black-screen issue? Only had it happen a couple times but it'd be nice to know that it's understood to be a problem and being fixed...
Man that looks good... Hopefully the shooting action will be a little more solid and modernized this time around (Nanostray games were great, just not quite enough bullet density for my bullet-hell-ish tastes)
There's a part of me that wants to see what they'd be capable of developing for PS3/360/PC...but at any rate, it's nice to have one consistently excellent, Nintendo-only third party.
/sigh - I own every version, yet I'm guaranteed to buy this one.
Why must I continue to spend my hard earned money on the same product? Why don't I have willpower? Why am I putting 1000 points on my Wii for the first time in a year while I'm typing this?
@billy, @majora - I'm somewhat active on Movemodo despite still not owning a move. Good community and good reviews--and (sorry NL) an even better layout/forum, despite the comparative lack of content.
I don't see why there would be guaranteed lag--much more advanced flight sim/aerial battle games are easily doable these days on PC/360/PS3(when PSN's up ) and the 3DS wireless card is leagues ahead of what was in the regular DS...
@mickey - III really isn't any more linear than 2 was...it's just longer. There's more pre-boat and more post-boat. 1, however, was crazy non-linear....sure--going to certain areas before you were leveled enough to do so was suicide, but literally nothing except the final dungeon was off-limits to a level 1 character.
if the comparison between Club Nintendo Shops is any indication, the US May Update will contain 3 different versions of It's My Birthday, a virtual Watch Paint Dry app, a paid demo of Ninja Bread Man, and a virus.
@Guardian - I was under the impression that uprising would be out sometime this summer with the rest of those "close to launch window" titles....but now it appears no one has any idea when it's releasing. Amazon's page says Dec 31, 2020, so I think it's safe to say we'll be getting it at least a little earlier than that
as usual, Nintendo seems oblivious to the fact that incorporating any amount of tilt control shatters any ability to utilize the 3d effect. Thanks guys.
I used to type in BASIC games from magazines too! Ahhh...I miss Gorillas and CIA Agent. Well, not CIA Agent so much... (text-based adventure games were, are and will always be terrible )
he should've gotten a giant tattoo on his face that says "Notice me! I make stupid, impulsive decisions!" In fact--that should be the only tattoo legally available.
Give us Thunder Spirits! Or the Genesis Thunder Force games....those were Jaleco right?
And yeah...Rival Turf really isn't that bad, but given that Final Fight 3 is one of the best 2d beat em ups period and is already available, I dunno how much attention it will get...
i'm surprised so many people think 2 bucks a night is too expensive....I personally think 99 cents a night (given that's what movies cost) would be severely undervaluing the games in question. Games retail, new, for 60 bucks. Movies are what...20 in DVD form now? By that logic, they should be priced at a 3:1 ratio, not a 2:1 ratio.
Regardless I dunno if I'll actually make use of game rentals, as I'm mostly a buy person. If I did though, it'd be utilizing a service like this. Rent in the morning, play all day, take it back earlier than I got it the following morning. Not a bad way to spend a day off of work.
2 bucks a night is legit. Way better than required-subscription or like 7 bucks for a couple days or w/e. Might find a list of 6-8 hour fun games and keep an eye out.
unfortunately tri-ace made resonance of fate which didn't do much for me Until that game, they were batting 1000. Gonna watch this one a bit more tentatively
yeah motion controls are awful for 3ds with the 3d on....i can't even play pilotwings with the game completely stationary without getting double-screen all over the place any time i adjust my height. Buttons-only for me.
how are "completely original" and "combines Galaxy and Mario 64" even allowed to exist in the same article? Doesn't sound bad or anything...but if it were controlled in 4d with your feet and starred a French Guy named Croissant who worked at a nail salon and shot gummybears from a magic wand, I could see the originality claim holding merit.
I have this great idea! Totally original Castlevania game--it's gonna have a whip and play like a combination of Castlevania 3 and Rondo of Blood. Totally original.
the couple super-guides i actually watched took super-boring playthroughs of the levels anyway....they really didn't spoil anything. Zelda super-guide, however.... I dunno--we'll see how it works I guess, and I suppose it'll be nice for the friggin' water temple's stupid-hidden keys (esp. on MQ mode)
Can't imagine a Zelda Boss Rush being all that engaging given that very little of the boss-fighting is very reflex-based and is all slow pattern memorization/execution. There also aren't any difficulty settings....still--the closer to Ys this series gets, the better imo.

Wish I'd waited on SF4... Everyone's already seen it--this would be a lot more impressive to first-time 3DS checker-outers.

Re: Review: Mega Man X (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
one of my absolute favorite side-scrollers ever. X2 is definitely a more solid game though and is prob the best in the entire series (regular or X)

I consider it a good addition.
