Ive been saying it for ages mate the prices are a JOKE for people in the UK, whereas the USA prices seem to be much more realistic, hence my reluctance to give them any of my money while these prices are excessive.
How comes that anyone with half a brain cell knew that the 3DS should of had a 2nd analogue stick to start with and Nintendo didn't 'Strange' ? and this thing looks just plain Hideous.
Im hoping that they bring out a bigger screened version of the 3DS because 3.5 inch on any portable device is just to small nowadays, and then i wont lose any of my downloaded games because i'll be able to Transfer.
This article has got me thinking whats the easiest i can get to play Gameboy games on a big screen etc and WOW what i didn't realise until reading this article is that i already own a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player and i ALWAYS assumed that it only plays GBA games which was it only use to me but it actually plays all of the Gameboy games aswell, Can anyone answer if it acts like the Super Gameboy in that it enhances the colours of Gameboy games or does it just present the games as standard ? thx
@ 107. Thomas ive done the same and downloaded it for both my 3DS & XL and was comparing the Graphics on both i have noticed that you get to see a bit more of the screen on the Left & Right hand sides on the XL and that the colours look slightly washed out on the 3ds whereas the XL picture looks much more vibrant and punchy.
I have just been reading some reviews of the original that was released on the GBA called 'Zelda: A Link to the Past w/ the Four Swords' now am i correct in thinking that this version leaves out the 'Link To The Past' game ?
Any idiot from the Offset hearing about the Specs for the 3DS was asking 'WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE 2ND ANALOGUE STICK' and this had been Mandatory for playing games for many years now, the 3DS has just been one BIG cock up from beginning to launch to eshop to price etc and now this Hideous thing, thing is alot of games will probably play better with the 2nd stick so you will be kinda forced into the extra weight and size to get the most out the game, what they need to do is release a 3DS mk 2 that obviously has this already built in but also has a bigger screen and better battery life.
What is this Ambassadors Certificate at the bottom in this menu all about ? ps CAN ANYONE THAT WORKS FOR THIS SITE GET CONFIRMATION AND ASK NINTENDO if these Nes Ambassador games are 50hz or 60hz ? thx
Well done Nintendo YOUR TRYING TO GET THE 3DS off to a flying start now after the MAJOR messup of a launch, and the LATE eshop arrival so you decide in all of your wisdom/multiple meetings to spend time and effort bringing Urban Champion to the 3DS MMmmmmmmm HOW ABOUT flooding the eshop with QUALITY that you have from your vast back catalogue INSTEAD 'that might just HELP your 3DS' HOW MANY TIMES do you need to be told the 3DS has not done well for 2 main reasons the PRICE was to high (now corrected) and a lack of quality titles.
I was playing this around a mates yesterday and i CANT believe the developer have only included TILT control method for this game is utterly bizzare it could never compare to an analogue stick for a racing game, the review is correct in that it is very twitchy and sensitive and drifts far to easy and that you can actually get to grips with it to an accomplished extent but it always feels like unecessary hard work, personally i'd still give it a 6/10 though.
To many good games for the SNES to name 1 single BEST game for the system i reckon it would be more accurate to have the top spot shared between 10 titles:
Super Mario World + Super Mario All-Stars (on the one CART version) Super Metroid Super Mario RPG The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Donkey Kong Country 2 Yoshi's Island Super Mario Kart Super Castlevania IV Chrono Trigger Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
plus many others i love just outside of the 10 are Pilotwings, Equinox: Solstice II, Actraiser, F-Zero, Super Ghouls n Ghosts, Contra III, Axelay, etc
I was 17 when i got my SNES/Super Famicom as i ordered it from Japan as i already owned a Jap Megadrive and hated the UK consoles SLOWWW running speed and smaller screen size. This and the N64 are my best machines to date.
Well by far the vast majority of people i know with a Wii none of them apart from a mate knew that it can even play Gamecube games. For me its essential.
In all honesty CONSIDERING the vast back catalogue of games Nintendo has at its disposal and in my opinion have never understood why so few games are released every week digitally across their various platforms is a mystery to me, and YES Half the time the games released are pure RUBBISH, i mean COME ON Donkey Kong on the 3DS is outstanding but WHY only give people the gameboy version why not give them the SuperGameBoy version as well thats full colour etc, many things just dont make sense.
Well i had a result today at my local Game store, i went and bought a 3DS preowned for £129 (in time to get these Ambassador games) and also a copy of Zelda OOT so i walked out of the store and got home looked in the bag and noticed that there were 2 copies of Zelda OOT, Result i thought
Well as far as reasons for the 3DS not selling well for me and some friends was the reason that we prefer the XL to a 3DS because of the screen quality, we dont like the way the 3DS's screen when switched into 3D goes Dim / murky and loses brightness a common side effect/trait of most 3D TV's/Projectors. SURELY other people have noticed this?
Your talking about a company that released all of its VC range for Europe in the sub standard 50hz Crap without the option for 60hz when 99% of peoples tv's could handle it, a Utter DISGRACE in my opinion, they release a 25th Mario Anniversary Disc MISSING many games all again running in 50hz just Ridiculous.
YEAH Cave Story, Escapee GO! to name a few come on Nintendo at LEAST make it all the same for Europe & America. also WHY o WHY does Nintendo just not release these Gameboy games ON a DSiVC aswell.
For me Retro Studio's have made the 'from Gamecube onwards' best video game that i have played that being METROID PRIME, utterly outstanding Game & Tech. Resident Evil 4 following close behind. Very talented people
AM I THE ONLY ONE who has been waiting for an update to allow you to play games directly from the SD card much like they done with the Wii. Because it sucks having to copy across games all of the time.
Looks like most of the games they have done have all been very good, the Pixeljunk games are really good on PSN aswell. Have played for many hours Starfox 2 and its a real shame that it never got to see the light of day, i thought it was a big improvement on the first game and that was amazing. I always hoped that either SF2 would get released on VC or someone would make it available on a new Starfox game as either a bonus or unlockable.
Personally i think the Top screen quality is CRAP when you switch to 3D the screen gets noticeably dimmer "A COMMON FAULT / SIDE EFFECT OF MOST 3D TV'S / PROJECTORS, which for me leaves me looking at a muted coloured screen which is unacceptable and unpleasant, also the screens to small after preferring the XL's size.
When this games came out originally it received between 8-9 out of 10, having played it only recently i can still atest that its worthy of that score. Looks, sounds, and plays great
Makes me laugh about people wanting 1080p, unless im mistaken 'which im not' by far the vast majority of games on the PS3 & Xbox360 are all in 720p their are very few true 1080p resolution games out there. Owning all 3 consoles its my experince that art design and level geometery are far prettier to look at than resolution.
Have been using my Onkyo TX-NR906 http://www.trustedreviews.com/home-cinema/review/2008/10/10/Onkyo-TX-NR906-AV-Receiver/p1 cinema amp that uses the widely acclaimed HQV Reon scaling chip in it, i upscale everything to 1080p and output through HDMI my N64, Snes, Wii etc and believe me theirs upscaling and theirs upscaling quite frankly the difference between most items that upscale and something thats decent is night and day.
