Exactly the reason why I decided to wait before purchasing the 3DS. There's not really anything that makes me want it immediately besides the fact that it's the new console, and I've learned from Apple that I should always wait for either A) the price to go down or B) a hardware upgrade.

ESRB descriptions always sound like part of a skit off of Comedy Central. And to be honest, I never want them to change.

Generic box art is generic. I just feel like I had to comment on that.

Team Meat and now these guys? I'm really surprised how many independent developers have a 3DS dev kit.

If this game has three dimensional gameplay, I will have to cry from the sheer epic-ness that this game will be. The team behind Galaxy 1 and 2 can't let me down.

@HeroOfTime007 My original post is fixed, but I highly disagree with the opinion that EA had good ad campaigns for Dante's Inferno and Dead Space 2 (the Your-Mother-Will-Hate-This-Game one). They were both immature and stupid. However, I don't want to turn this news post into a flaming ground, so if you really want to argue about it, make a thread on NL or Email me (my email is v.eight.ninja@gmail.com).

The part that makes me question the game is the 12+ rating. Really, Ubisoft? Was the Dante's Inferno campaign and Dead Space 2 Your-Mother-Will-Hate-This-Game campaign not enough immaturity for you?

EDIT: Ignore the above statement. HeroOfTime007 Noted that the Dante's Inferno and Dead Space 2 Your-Mother-Will-Hate-This-Game ad campaigns were all part of EA's marketing, NOT Ubisoft's marketing.

My only problem with this NLFM: the podcast didn't include this song. Otherwise? Brilliant!

I'm waiting to see what extra features will be present in the 3DS version. If there's not much new content to be offered, I'll just skip it. If there's a huge amount of new content, then I'm willing to drop down the $30-40 on it.

Wow. The G&W replica is very cool. Too bad it's 1,200 coins.

...Portal references? Why?! That doesn't make any sense! Not even a single Valve game has come to a Nintendo console! Ever! Like...ugh!

^{nice song picks btw}

Not surprising, considering that when High Voltage try their hand at things, they usually focus on the technical aspects instead of the gameplay side. Let's see what they can make the hardware do by then.

I've really got to question the person who decided that naming a company after a nitrogen oxide was a good idea.

@Aviator Oh, well that doesn't seem too insane.

Are they really expecting Australian customers to ignore the average inflated price and go for the (probably) extremely expensive collector's edition? I'm sorry, but that's pretty close to having insane thoughts.

Looks like there's some pretty fun game types. Why does it seem that everything awesome is coming out early this year? I won't have enough money to buy everything... D=

It will be like Typing Of The Dead...WITH POKEMANZ!!!

Ugh...you know how tempted I am to make a joke that I shouldn't make, Sugimori? VERY!!! Stop making me want to insult you in new ways, Pokemon!

I <3 FREE STUFF!!!

'Steel Diver' is a brand new experience, and from a compelling standpoint, we think it's awfully compelling.

I don't know why, but that line made me laugh for some reason.

Did I just break NLFM podcasting conventions? That's like, breaking the laws of the universe. Only more awesome. XD

Looks like Nights if it wasn't on rails. Which is to say that it looks pretty awesome. Color me excited.

Y'know, I never actually played any of the original Rayman games. This will look like a good point to jump into the series.

Weird. Nintendo didn't tell anyone about how much memory the system actually has? That seems unnatural.

This, including the amount launch games, makes the 3DS an instant buy for me. Now I have to make sure I have enough money by March...

While the three-games-at-launch is a disappointment, I'm happy about the price.

Ooo, looks like a pretty good list! Can't wait to listen.

@accc Oh, really? Well, it's nice to see that there's a majority chance that the game will still be as awesome as it was when it was first released.

At first I was like "F%$& YEAH!!!"...

...but then I looked on Steam. The game is 300 megabytes. WiiWare only allows 40 MB per game. This is not good.

@Yoshi2000 Not really, you just need some math. 1.3 Million multiplied by 50 is equal to 65 Million US dollars. If we assume that the wraps of money are each $10,000, we get 6,500 piles. The thickness of US dollars is 0.01 cm. Assuming that each dollar bill is an $100 bill, one pile would be around 1 cm. Multiply that by 6,500, you would have 6,500 centimeters, or about 2,559 inches. Convert that into feet and it's about 48' 7".

(sigh)...Just...(sigh)...

Considering what comes in the package, $300 wouldn't seem too bad of a price point...

Y'know, I love how stuff like region locking and DRM makes people want to hack games even more than they would if those things weren't in there. It makes me feel as if game companies know exactly what consumers want.

Either way, I'm not surprised. Importing games (especially Japanese ones) takes a skill-set that I'm not really interested in. And besides, someone will come along and break the region locking on the system within a matter of months, so it's not a huge issue.

Hooray! I personally haven't been dying to play the game, but more supposedly awesome games coming to the US is fine with me!

It's nice to see NLFM taking a weekly approach. I always feel deprived of NLFM after two weeks of a monthly release.

EDIT: Crap, I submitted a song that I completely goes against SoundCloud rules. Sorry, TBD. My bad.

Looks like I'll have to wait for the 3DS XL...

New consoles and accessories go together like Mario and Yoshi

Meaning that we ditch them just to survive that one horribly-made jump?

So it's basically like those oddly mystifying wireless charge pads...only with a blue hedgehog.

I'd think it would be too soon for a "Conversion" of Moon considering it was released only close to two years ago and there's no specific fan demand to make a sequel. The inherit problem with my suspicions is that I can't think of anything else that the publisher has made that revolves around enormous pieces of rock floating out in space.

So it basically is BEAT...only backwards.

Maybe it's that I'm from America, but I'm pretty sure you don't put "an" in front of "history".

...So the game's basically BIT.TRIP BEAT backwards?

Wow. Epiphany was...wow.

Umm...wow. O_O This is different.

Why does this "Game" need a review again? Just askin'...

Michael Cera lives near Game Oxford Street WHAT?!?!

EDIT: Seriously? Am I the only one seeing the resemblance of the banana-wielding UK citizen to Michael Cera? Please don't tell me I'm insane.

OH. MY. GOD. My...mind...is...BLOWN!!! SUCH A GOOD OPENING!!!

Then I expect the games on the handheld to be absolutely spectacular. Make me proud for owning a 3DS, game developers. Make me proud.

For some reason, this just makes me want to murder every pop musician twice over.

All the games that I'm interested in are getting demos. I'm a happy camper.
