No rush for me. I'm enjoying my wii u now more than ever. We picked up Splatoon, Yoshi's wooly world and captain toad over the holidays and my family and I are loving them. Not to mention I still haven't played bayonetta or xeno x. The wii u may not have as many games coming as the leading consoles but it has games with tons of replay value that are pure jems.
I think this was the only game I played with the 3d effect on for the whole game. I feel like it is one of the only games that it actually enhances the gameplay. All other games seem to just use the 3d as a neat gimmick.
I picked Galaxy because it is one of the funnest and most inventive games ever made. It's hard to compare the galaxy games to SMB 3 or SMW because they are so completely different. I would pick SMB 3 over Super Mario World even though I loved them both growing up.
I'm offended that people are offended by the offensive comment that was put forth by the open minded individual who is offended that the religious person is offended by the thing that is offensive to them.
This looks like it could be an interesting spin on the monster hunter universe. Hopefully the developers don't try and emulate Pokemon too much and give the game a more unique identity.
I had this game and traded it in. I wish I had held on to it to give it a shot on the 3ds. I just could not get used to the clunky controls.That thumb nub was horrible. The mini games were fun but they are also included in the new super mario brothers for ds that I still have.
@rushiosan I agree that the fact that Nintendo still has no cloud based account system is puzzling. It would be nice to have all my digital 3ds games on both my standard and xl. Even if they limited it to two consoles like ps does with the vita would satisfy me.
I'm not much of a fan of the horror genre but this caught my interest because it looks like a unique game. I like the fact that I will be able to try a few chapters and see if it is something I would want to pay through completely. Storage is no problem as my 2tb hardrive still has plenty of memory. Seems like I started getting more physical releases after I bought it as used boxed versions are generally cheaper.
All the people worried about the dlc for samurai warriors don't need to. I have Samurai Warriors 4 on my PS account and have had an absolute blast with the game without even considering any of the pages worth of dlc content. I don't think it really adds anything to the game unless you MUST have every little costume available.
Strange timing as I've been trying to decide if I want to download Hyrule Warriors on Wii u or Splatoon all morning. Leaning towards Splatoon at the moment as I prefer the Dynasty Warrior games on a handheld platform for quick play sessions.
This game sounds like a lot of fun if not a little confusing to someone who never played before. Will I get smoked online like in Call of Duty or is it friendlier to newer online shooter players?
@Drac_Mazoku I bought a vita earlier this year and i absolutely love it. The sales on psn put the e shop to shame. A 3ds and vita combo are the way to go if you can save up for both.
I wish they would discount Hey ice king on the eshop. I really liked the demo but $20 is not worth it for me. From the screen shots this game looks like a step back visually from the first game. Maybe somewhere down the line I'll pick it up on sale but I think I'd rather play through the Zelda handheld games I haven't played yet first.
Got it for free on my vita with ps plus this month. It's a fun game if you can get past the overall grossness of the game. Only played for about 20 minute so far because I'm enjoying two of the other indie titles offered so much. Luftrausers needs to get a 3ds release. It's a terrific score attack shooter.
Sales figure mean little to me at this point. I look at all the games available on the three current home consoles being pushed and see more games on the wii u that interest me as a gamer. Hyrule warriors and the bayonetta bundle would be mine if not for all the great sales ive been grabbing up on the vita. Not enough time or money to enjoy all the great games available. I will say that the xbone sunset overdrive bundle looks tempting but I dont think I will be buying another xbox console any time soon.
Seems like the perfect game for Halloween. Tried the demo earlier today and thought it was a lot of fun. I'm tempted to preorder and pick up at launch as there are not too many console games I'm interested in getting right now. The backlog may be getting put off soon in favor of these two games.
I still have both my original phat ds and the ds lite. The ds lite has some black pixels on the screen and the shoulder buttons stopped working but the phat model works as good as the day I bought it. (Except for shorter battery life.) I have an original game boy from 1989 that outlived my PS2.
I think it will be worth it to upgrade if there is a high trade in value on current 3ds models towards a new system and if remote play with the wii u will be possible. A could based save system would be nice as well but I guess wireless uploading to a PC is enough. NNID accounts on more than one handheld would be nice too. Basically everything the vita does.
I picked up SMT devil survivor overclocked last time it was on sale and was not disappointed. Logged over 74 hours in one play through. It is an excellent game and well worth the $15 price tag.
@FlaygletheBagel Your very welcome . I heard of a lot of people in the same position that opted out. I'm glad I dealt with a lot of the spam emails from nintendo now lol. Can't wait for oct 3rd now. One of the best 3ds game yet IMO and that's based off very little content in a demo.
Since I'd rather not just drop the last code I have in the forum if any nintendo life user that did not join a couple days ago just to beg would like my last NAcode just reply with an email address and I will gladly gift it to you. Preferably someone who hasn't got a chance to try it yet
The only issue I've had with the 3ds is the home button on my aqua blue original model. It won't register sometimes. Luckily the xl fixed that by making it one button instead of a long bar. The bottom portion scratching the top screen is annoying also but I've learned to live with it.
@E_Blackadder I hear you on that. I juggle my playtime between the 3ds and wii u and recently got a ps vita. I'm gonna need to take out a loan for all the great games coming lol.
So future Wii U games will probably support a New 3DS as a controller instead of adding second game pad support. It seems more and more likely that the next nintendo console will be a handheld/console hybrid. That would be so awesome.
My vita is coming today so I'm not disappointed by the lack of sales that interest me. My wallet needs a break. Lots of good games coming soon for wii u so I can start saving without worrying about impulse buys.
@Action51 I'm with you on this one. I have only played the original on the N64 at a friends way back when so I wasn't too excited but all the hype has got to me. I am also enjoying fighting games more these days.
I got a CCP when I picked up monster hunter 3 in march of 2013 but stopped using it after a couple months. The digital pad works very well( especially on the XL). I will probably trade it in soon because it sounds like it will be useless sooner rather than later. Ill probably get 20 cents for it at gamestop. Maybe 21 cents with the pro member trade in.
I Think I'm going to preorder this weekend. The battle mechanics look like a lot of fun. The first game included is a nice incentive since I never played the original. Looks like a truly unique game for the wii u. I will probably have to play late at night or week days I have off when my sons at school though. Seems a bit much for a five year old lol.
I've been waiting for MH3U to drop in price on the wii u. I've gotten back into the 3ds version and would like to start hunting online. $15 I dont think I can pass this deal up.
After 20 plus years I don't think expanding the character roster is a bad thing. It freshens the series up a bit. I did see a comment in the other article about toon link being used instead and I agree. Link just seems a little out of place.
@EarthboundBenjy The two titles listed in the pole have supermarioland 3(wario land) and supermarioworld 2 (yoshi's island) as subtitles.the other games you listed do not. I think that's why those two were included only.
Never had the master system but after the NES my dad owned the Genesis and later on the Dreamcast. It was fun as a kid having my SNES at my moms and then going to my Dads and getting to play Sega games with him.
