Good luck to all you people waiting for price drops. 1st party Nintendo games never drop in price. They just finally dropped the price on Super Paper Mario for Wii and that was basically a launch game.

@12 and 17: Aside from the first mission most of the branching paths are determined by wether or not you complete your mission objectives for a level. If you are successful you head one way, fail and you go another. Sometimes even the levels and the boss fights will change. This is what gave the game so much replay value. It's pretty easy to beat if you take the far right path, but can be brutal if you can make it through the far left path. The path you take also changes the final level in the game and the final boss fight. Very cool stuff. Damn! Now I got myself all hyped for the game.

I don't get how people could not be impressed by this game. Looks totally awesome, and then some. If it is a Metroid style non-linear game it will be an instant buy from me.

@87: How about a wireless circle pad? No body has yet to mention that it could be wireless. Anyway I hope the rumors of a second analog stick are false. I hate dual analog.

You people are idiots! We're getting the vitality sensor finally. But this time for the 3DS! Imagine playing Fatal Frame 3DS with the vitality sensor!

Saga sounds terrible. No Tilt controls for Beat and Flux? No thanks. It always amazed me how accurate those controls were when most retail releases had sh!t controls. This better be worth my cash Gaijin.

Am I they only one getting a bit.trip vibe from the screens?

@4: Obviously the games are not ready. I'm guessing the NES games are easier to port because they are already on the Wii's VC. They already said they are updating the games too. Since the GBA games haven't been anywhere outside the GBA they would require more work. Would you rather wait 6 months to get them all?

@15: You didn't honestly believe they would have 3rd part titles did you? It seems pretty obvious that they would be 1st party only.

This is awesome! Today's my day off... Thanks Nintendo. Great to have 10 new games to play.

@LordJumpMad: I'm sending you my address. You can send me $50 now for NES games and $90 when the GBA games hit.

Considering how bad Face Raiders and the AR games are on the 3DS, I'm gonna say no thanks. Where the hell is Fatal Frame 4 & 2 NOA? F that project rainfall crap, these are the games I really want!

My only dissappointment here is not seeing Kid Icarus. Wish they would remove Zelda 2 and place him there instead. I probably haven't played half those games so they will be new to me.

@93 Thomas: We're not getting Dr. Mario for the same reason we're not getting Mario Bros. Both of those game are included in the GBA set.

@Iz20XX: People complaining about remakes won't be buying this game. It's not "hardcore" enough for them.

@118: NES games on 56in screen. No thanks, they look like that big. And you definatly won't be able to play the GBA games on the 56in screen.

Where the hell is Kid Icarus? And what the hell is Yoshi?

@mandoble: You use you left thumb to move camera with the touch screen. Same as any DS FPS. It's not that hard. It would be better if capcom added a lock on camera and a quick turn (like the RE games use.) Having to constantly fiddle with the camera ruins the game for me.

@38 Aviator: Better? How is fiddling with the camera better? It would be better if the camera followed your character over the shoulder ala RE. You spend all your time in MH trying to adjust the camera, and by that time the monster has turned around and it is charging you again so you can't line up your next attack on time. No thanks Capcom. Come up with a better camera system then we'll talk.

@19: Sure the game design maybe. But Wayforward is know for pushing the DS tech too the max. I doubt they could have pulled of all their tricks for Shantae and Thor on the GBA. I also looks like they are using their Contra 4 engine for this game.

@20 SuperLink: Metroid ripped from Aliens, so why not the other way around? If this games plays like a 2D Metroid I'll definatly buy it. If it's more linear like Contra I may or may not.

@18 Highwinter: Stories have nothing to do with RPGs. It has do with wether or not they have turn based, menu driven combat. Many of the old 80's dungeon crawlers never had a story either.

As for Monster Hunter, I thought Tri was a bore... and the clumsy controls didn't help. Maybe with better controls, I'd be more into the series. And do something about that camera Capcom! Having to fight fast moving monsters while constantly moving the camera is a pain.

I don't car for that gold Wii remote, though it's only $20, and I don't own a wii remote plus yet... Decisions, decisions.

@7 Sneaker13: This is Wayforward. These guys are masters of 2D game making. I doubt this one could be made for the GBA.

From what I read this game is like Metroid, but you play as multiple characters each with a different background and story. If a character dies they can't be revived, and you have to play as a different one. The story will change depending on the characters you play as.

@15: I too loved the original multiplayer when I could get people to actually play with me which was never (plus you need a opponent with skill in that game). Most people wanted to play GoldenEye and Mario Kart.

I do have to say after seeing that trailer, that I really wish this had online support. That looks a hundred times better than the original, and those new levels look sweet. Oh well, bummer.

Those boobs look too small for Other M Samus, otherwise very cool looking from the picts. I might buy these if they weren't too expensive.

No thanks! I'm saving my points for "1950s Lawn Mower Kids."

@23: My point exactly. Those points where the camera doesn't move is because of the programing not the lack of analog stick. Analog stick would have made the camera control more precise, but for whatever reason the designers locked out the controls. This happens a lot in Mario 64, but in that game I think it was because of the prerendered graphics that were used for some of the backgrounds and such. There were a lot of places where you couldn't control the camera at all. These games a sharp contrast to Sunshine, which had you constantly fiddling with the camera and seriously killed all enjoyment of that game.

If this let control my actual lawn mower, then I might get it otherwise.... No!

My problem with all of these devices is they are just attachments, same as the rest of the junk released for Wii. Old School light guns were cool because they were seperate controllers. If Nintnedo had made a new Zapper that looked like that hand cannon but replaced the flashing lights with a IR pointer that would have been cool. Keep an slot on the bottom for the nunchuk and you would have had an awesome controller for HOTD. Of course the pointer works differently and is usually best when rested in your lap like a normal controller anyway, so that might not have worked out so well.

@16 pikmaniac02: I have to disagree here. I hate having to muck around with the camera too much in games. Mario Galaxy had a great camera most of the time. I'll admit there were times when I wanted to more freedom with the camera, but Nintendo locked out the controls most of the time when I really need that function.

@maggots: I agree somewhat here. While I'm a bit excited about Skyward Sword I'm also worried that my arms are gonna feel pain, especially after playing Red Steel 2. I don't mind playing with buttons, but I can't stand dual analog games. All those FPS that were announced or whatever at E3 would be terrible without the Wii Remote / Nunchuk combo.

What I want to see is something better, not something different. I've never bothered with the DS Zelda games because I couldn't stand the touch screen only controls. They were imprecise, uncomfortable, awkward and annoying. Same goes for Star Fox Command. Nintendo tried to do something different, and came up with something worse.

@45 Magicpegasus: Check out RE: Mercs, Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, and Dead or Alive Dimensions. Those are all great games. As for Gargoyle's Quest, don't think I've ever played it back in the day, so this will be new to me anyway.

Sweet! I've always wanted to raise alpacas. Nows my chance!

@71: Yeah, that honor goes to Epic Yarn.

This is awesome! I would buy one for nephew, who I always make fun of for using the wii wheel. Then I could make fun of him even more.

Huh? That a mouthful!

Can't wait to force puke my co-op buddies. Wonder if Kirby can steal Meta Knights abilities?

@56: How is the iPad not innovative? Every time I turn on the TV I see iPad ads followed by the competitions lame knockoffs. The same thing happened after the iPhone was introduced. Maybe people don't want to carry around a clunky laptop. I's hardly call most of them portable.

@58: You can get a desktop that does whole lot more than your laptop for that same price. It boggles my mind that people even bother buying laptops.

@Milkman: You need to get with the latest technology. The touch pad is used for aiming the camera on the DS/3DS. Dual analog is terrible on home consoles, and would be worse here.

@42: LOL, My thoughts exactly.

Does anyone know if the 3DS eShop has a gifting option like the Wii does? I would love to send this bad boy as a joke.

@73: Hey, I was waiting for Star Fox... You can't blame me for jumping on a deal.

@12: There's supposed to be horrors in RE: Mercenaries.

Super Metroid of course.

Even the tank and sub do barrel rolls. Awesome game, one of my all time favs.

@16: It's the GBA games I'm most excited about. Those won't come till forever. There's lots of GB and GBC games I'd love to play. Maybe something for the 3DS ware would be nice? Anything is better than Urban Champions.

Holy Crap Urban Champions? That's the greatest game of all time! Thanks Nintendo.

If Nintendo stops making hardware, I would seize to buy video games ever again.

Meh! Looks as boring as the rest. I'll stick with Star Fox.

Tekken is awesome but I would prefer Soul Calibur as that is my favorite fighting series, Maybe they can add a playable Mario?

@21: It plays more like DOA.

These are some great games and all but when are we gonna get more GBC or GG games?

I'll buy Mario Land, but Metroid better have Super Game Boy support. The damn cart colorizes on my GBA, so they better put that in.

Good to hear some good news for a change. I'm getting tired of this 3DS doom and gloom. With the price cut, the AAA Nintendo games coming and the holiday season, come Feb of next year the 3DS will be in awesome shape. Then we can start with the Vita doom and gloom predictions, lol.

@savino: I agree, I want the touch screen aiming that the DS uses. However both RE games use the circle pad to aim. The games more or less control like RE4 on the 'Cube. Not as good as using the touch screen (or a Wii Remote) but not as bad as trying to aim with the buttons.

And I think some people need to dig out a copy of RE 1 and play that again. That was some seriously bad voice "acting." I still keep my DS copy around for and giggles. This hardly qualifies as bad acting by comparison.

I'm hyped for this one. That demo for the game was way too short.

I sure hope that Nintendo releases anything but 3D Classics: Urban Champion in America this week.

@33: Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Sounds like a old school 2D version of Geist. Man I wish they would have made a sequel to that game for Wii... That would have been awesome.

It's about time. I don't live in Europe, but I'm sure many people will be glad to finally buy some games.

BTW... I thought Nintendo was hurting for money? They should have had these 2 months ago.
