My Wii has actually got a second life since I joined playing on the private servers for online games. I actually play it more than I ever did. If they could get Monster Hunter running, now that would be awesome
@jools now I'm mad at ya! lol oh well hopefully Switch owners will enjoy it. To be honest if I owned a Switch I probably wouldn't buy it as I was looking forward to one of the last releases with Stereoscopic 3D.
I just hope you dont have to sift through bad game after bad game just to find something decent to play. If it uses the current Google store. Im afraid it will be frustrating to know end.
Maybe Mariokart Tour will be based on real tracks from real countries which would be cool. But they should also leave the Mario kingdom tracks in there so players could go back and forth and play in two different worlds. Just my guess.
I'm also expecting we do get Dragon Quest XI at some point. I'm going to just give up on Dragon Quest X, which should have come out on Wii in North America.. but yeah I think we will see Dragon Quest XI on 3ds.
I have the one they ported to the eShop. If they had brought more versions to the US I sure would have bought them on 3ds. Had to sell my Switch due to some tough times. Cancer and not working. I sure miss the Switch.
I passed on the early purchase because of the lack of stereoscopic 3d. If it drops down to 19.99 I might pick it up. I am a bit bitter about the lack of 3d in these late release titles. I love the 3d. Its why I bought the system.
ONE reason I don't like to Pre order Digital games. I like option of being able to change my mind. Maybe a game gets announced I would rather have. I can cancel that Amazon order I made.
I'm so sad this never happened in North America. This is title that should have been released on Wii in North America. I bought a Switch thinking we were going to finally get it. It's a pipe dream now
I still liked the freebies as opposed to this new use your points for discounts on old games you probably already own or passed on long ago. Ive been using my points mainly on themes for my 3ds and the ocassional 3ds game freebie. But I will keep on hoarding them until something interests me.
I might ad 40 bucks to pick up a couple things like Final Fantasy game that came out on WiiWare and then get a half dozen Pcengine TurboGrafx titles. Other than those there was just so much Shovelware to sift through. A few sega Genesis games would be cool too.
@Freelance I'm shocked people have Dismissed this game. We don't have enough games of this type on 3ds other than the Etrian Odyssey series. I myself like the graphics so far. The game has more of a Wizardry feel to it than the EO series. I did wait for this games first sale which I got it for 9.99 today. I have played very little so far but very impressed so far. You do need to fiddle with it and figure out everything for yourself as there is no tutorial here. Took me forever to figure out how to save a game.
Just picked it up on sale today for 9.99. Glad I waited. So far the menus feel a bit clunky. The 3d looks cool. It has a heavy Wizardry feel to it which is a good thing. No tutorial about anything. They throw you to the wolves to figure it out. I like it so far and I'm glad I waited for a sale. Personally they should do a permanent price drop to 9.99 I just think the quality of this puts it in that price range and makes it a better purchase
I know its about Switch but seems kind of strange with all these recent releases of Shovelware being released on 3ds. I guess as a true console goes Nintendo has tightened the reigns on what they accept. They made a huge mistake on Wii with all the Shovelware they allowed. Now they are being much more picky I guess.
I was turned off by this type of game. I thought Jools wasn't real happy with 3ds sales. I wonder if he thinks it would do good on switch. Atooi should probably bring it's best 3ds sellers, which I think they are anyway
Actually these mom and pop games tires worldwide are going to be facing huge uncertainy while the big 3 start releasing most games on digital. I believe Nintendo is already testing the digital only releases. If you look at it for Switch 90% of their games are digital.
@ibis_87 would you say alot of Russians might not be able to afford these very high prices on Switch Hardware, accessories and games? Not to mention the Eshop games are also higher than its competitors. Heck I'm not Russian and I can't afford Switch right now. So I scrape to buy used 3ds and Wii titles. I've actually been able to get some great gaming for very low prices.
I love the Kemco RPG'S . I have most of them for my 3ds and a couple on my phone. They are classic and easy to just pick up and play. I'm glad to have Kemco on board with Switch and as soon as I buy another Switch which may or may not happen depending on future Switch releases, I will be picking this one up too.
Oh wow how about a re-release of Last Story and clean it up a bit on Switch? Man that would be awesome along with new releases. Last Story flew under the radar a bit, but it sure had that Wow factor. Really just a beautiful game
Been waiting on this one. If it's not less than 6 bucks though I will pass until I see a sale. I can't justify paying more for this when a beautiful copy of Outrun sits there with beautiful 3d for 5.99 and goes on sale 3 or 4 times a year for 2.99. If it's another14.99 price like they have been lately, I will just put this one behind me.
Personally these system cycles are really bumming me out. We have 3 major companies using whatever time lines they use to release it's new systems which seems to be 3 to 6 years leaning more towards every 3 years. I wish they would makes a system and not think about a new updated system for at least 10 years. We'll at least it's better than the life of a cellphone, which seems to be about 1 year.
@KnightRider666 I bought and sold the Switch. I was feeling to much like I had to download 90% of the software for the system. So I'm back to playing my Wii and 3ds. I have no interest in the new systems.
Looks like some awesome gaming at Wow! A great price. I may actually look at this one. Strider has always been a huge favorite. I wish it had got the 3d classic treatment on 3ds. It would have been an awesome 3d classic
Well Nintendo I've been a huge customer in the past and will probably pass on the no 3D games for 3DS. I actually have a few oldies I want to pick up and I'm hoping the new Shin Megami will use the 3D. Please stop it with the slew of ShovelWare in the Eshop though. Holy cow every week ShovelWare now. Thank god for years we had excellent titles on 3DS.
I just hope they don't jump the gun and shut down the multiplayer servers. So many great online games I'd like the servers to be up when I finally hit a backlog game.

Re: Review: Flashback (Switch)
