"For example, jumping: Maru will continue to rise in the air as long as you hold down the A button, meaning he essentially flies. He can even leave the screen."
I'll probably get a lynching for this, but I've always had difficulty controlling Mario in M64, wether it was on the N64 back in the day or when I played it with the horrid d-pad on the DS a few years ago. Very curious to see how it controls with the 3DS's analogue stick.
Sad really, when this game came out GAME had this bulging from the shelves, but now I have a 3DS I went to look from it and it's utterly vanished from retail. Dammit, I want to support retail as much as I can, but they don't make it easy...
I jumped when I saw this title, all full of nostalgic joy...
...but then I realised that the first Myst isn't exactly the strongest in the series. Puzzles just aren't as satisfying to complete as in the later games, which REALLY reward you for slogging through difficult puzzles. And in terms of atmosphere it's trumped by its successors. If this was Riven or Exile they were talking about I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
I'd also love to see Lucasarts or Sierra get their classics on the 3DS.

Oh god, I can't stop laughing.
Getting this.
Re: Tekken 3D's Multiplayer Mode is 2D Only
Why not give the option to toggle? It irritates me when developers hack out functionality. Hell I'm not even interested in this game.
Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Has No Multiplayer
I never, ever, ever gave a damn. Rayman has always been a singleplayer game to me.
Re: Brighten Up Your Day with Colors! 3D Screenshots
@warioswoods That's utterly incredible. Makes me wonder if this is worth picking up, just for the opportunity to work in 3D.
Re: Rumour: Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Sequel for 3DS and Wii U
I had no idea that Sumo Digital made S&SASR.
I might just get this because I live near them (the 3DS version, that is).
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th January 2012 (North America)
@6 Haven't you registered two games with Club Nintendo yet? Or isn't that offer available in Americaland?
Re: Rising Star Games Commits to 3DS with Five Games in 2012
My heroes!
Re: Review: Samurai Sword Destiny (3DSWare)
From the trailers this looked incredibly simplistic, I didn't have a lot of confidence for it really.
Though running from boulders while indoors sounds like something a Parodius stage would do.

Re: Rumour: Harvest Moon 3D: Tale of Two Towns Due for PALs
I love Rising Star for giving me reasons not to sell my 360 in the forms of Deadly Premonition and Dodonpachi.
Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Grabs Europe by the Globox on 16th March
'Bout time, I'd have bought this a lot sooner if they'd stuck it on the PC.
