@MussakkuLaden "His gender doesn't really matter. And just BECAUSE it doesn't matter, he should finally for once be female." Exactly! Other than SS, link haven't had (unambiguously) romantic subplots.
An Elite Beat Agents on a tablet, or a Rhythm Heaven on a phone would be good, IMO. Also, given Nintendo's attitude with DLC (i.e., Zelda Warriors & Mario Kart) I wouldn't be afraid of what would happen.
BTW, anyone knows the sales of PW:Trilogy on 3DS vs iOS?
Not too bad, but Mario being layered in front of the ground/floor looks weird. This is why simply moving the layers some pixels to the left is not enough for a good 3D effect.
Pokémon Snap would be the most difficult, not because the complexity, but because it has only a few types of pokemon (compared with the >500 so far) and it would look very short.
I still have the Wii version in my always increasing backlog, so, while I appreciate it's in 3D and not a straight port, I'm not eager to spend $364usd on the console+game...
It's just me, or does it looks like it's actually running faster? Are character animations "measured" (so to speak) in frames? I remember that when fzero was launched, because the difference in tv framerates (NTSC vs pal) it was more difficult for some...
So... this one vs the 3DS one... My TV at couch distance looks (size-wise) like my 3DS XL at my regular playing distance, and I like the 3D Effect, so... What should I do?
@RoomB31 Exactly! If the way they said is how they actually intended, and not some unfortunate translation error, it means they can be playable in the Old 3DS:
"new titles where gameplay can be improved and graphics enhanced only from playing on New Nintendo 3DS."
@adrian123 If these are really from a video for ESRB approval, it makes sense that they would showcase the most "Sexy" pics. Also the most violent, but I think it's also because the leaker.
@Danny429 I hope there is, at the very least, a Brawl-like photo mode, because the current miiverse method isn't that fast/easy to use... Or, why not, a replay saving option in the 3ds, and let the WiiU render the fight to youtube...
@allav866 I would like to think that they used mk8 for testing that. And I guess that they could manage to do the "default" 3min fight. Or longer ones at 480p. However, I'm afraid that we would see a lot of close-ups of ZSSamus and Peach undergarments at first...
@Danny429 Given how we had to rely on a 3rd party tool to export Brawl's photos, they better not, indeed.
An, why not a even better one camera mode? One that allows more movement around the fighter, or "pro" options like apperture, speed and fical lenght options, and a video mode?!
If the 3DS version and the WiiU use the same engine, I wonder if the glitches/issues/bugs can be debugged from both versions... that way the WiiU version would need o ly to implement the fixes. Also, if wiiu debugging starts after 3ds debugging, I guess there's more time to polish the WiiU graphics while 3ds debugging. And finally, "Considering not only the different fighters, but items, stages, color settings, play rules, and game modes, the number of varying combinations are astronomical. In order to properly debug, every pattern must be tried, but such a task would be impossible no matter how many decades or centuries you take..." is one of the QA basic principles: extensive testing is impossible.
@drewb0203 Hyrule Warriors. Smash is a flagship game, so I guess that, even if you need to wait a whole year for it, you'll still can get a physical copy by then.
The only Playstation 3 (yes, 3) games I am/was interested were MGS4 and The last of Us. The rest of the iconic last gen games (bioshock, mass effect, the orange box, skyrim, the halos) were not exclusive, or for 360, so I decided for a 360 since it has the biggest pre-owned games section in my city. Pre-owned Wii games are scarce, not sure why.
Siempre pensé que, con tanta referencia a Nintendo, era inevitable que lo lanzaran para el Wii U. Me pregunto si nos harán un descuento a los Mexicanos... [ I always thought that, given how many references to Nintendo it had, it was inevitable that they released it in the Wii U. I wonder if there will be some discount for us Mexicans ... ]
If they do it, they will probably release it by the middle-to-end of the WiiU lifecycle, so they have enough time to make it work (not just a Genders-swapped Link and Zelda... even if that's not too bad)... Princess in the North by Evelmiina
I hope they fix the issue where the space-y background looks closer that the far end of the track. And what when going at the maximum speed, the squares of the track are synchronized, so they look stationary...

Re: Talking Point: The Importance of the Virtual Console
Is there a technical difficulty in making Virtual Console games for the 3DS? Or why else Nintendo don't release more of them?
I mean, the SNES resolution is 256 × 224, and even the N64 used 240p), and we have the same button layout for SNES games! am I missing something?
And even if they are restricted to only nintendo-developed games, that's still a lot of games!
