Re: Review: SteamWorld Heist (3DS eShop)

This is a great game once you get into it but you have to give it a chance. Build up a team and by around the 10th or 12th level it starts to click. Pretty hooked on it now, great personality and deep mechanics.

Re: Nintendo Remains Bullish Around the 3DS and Its Future Prospects

This just shows that the DS brand has great longevity in consumers minds, while the Wii brand was ultimately a fad.

This makes things tricky for Nintendo- While the NX will clearly replace wii, could it attract the consumer base attached to 3DS? Is there going to be a more basic portable version and a premium juiced up version? How can Nintendo manage this asymmetric situation?

I have bought and sold 4 different console versions of 3DS, and have probably spent 3 or 4 times as much on handheld software compared to Wii U. It's a great platform with great games and it probably has another couple years in it should Nintendo decide to keep it going.

Re: Soapbox: It's A Tragedy That Rare Replay Isn't On A Nintendo Console

I guess it's nice that it exists so that gamers relatively new to Rare can witness first-hand the magic that was.

And you could argue this is about the only instance where Microsoft are deriving value from their hefty purchase.

I guess business is business, as much as we'd love more flexibility from Microsoft (e.g. Licensing Banjo-Kazooie IP to Playtonic)
