$190AUD + $93 shipping....Are you kidding me?

Where do we find the soundtrack and graphic novel download?

At first I was like where the heck is my clear option. Then I realized it was called Neotones Ice. lol

Tetris God: LIIIIIIIIIIINE PIEEEEECE

@MisterWhen People don't have short memories, that was like 20 years ago. We're just old haha

@sarethums I was thinking the same thing!

I'm really feeling this artwork

@mesome713 I hope you look into the switch performance of outer worlds before deciding...

@Ooccoo_Jr You don't really collect "thousands of guns". Sure there are tons of guns but we're talking about variations of stats, accessories, and side effects to make up those numbers. Asides from top tier legendary guns which have different special effects, most guns are just stat numbers. Find a higher stat gun, swap it. It's not a pokemon gotta catch em all situation.

To answer your question, yes the stories are very enjoyable even if you don't focus on the grind. The grind is usually for those who want the absolute best and maxed out legendaries from the RNG Gods.

BL1 is a bit text heavy and subdued but still great, BL2 and PS have way more pizazz in their presentation and a lot more character/attitude. Looking back, PS isn't as well liked by fans. It's still an OK game, very similar in style to BL2 but not as polished.

@nessisonett You sound like a fellow dev, so you should probs realize that not all versions gets a production release. Sometimes issues can come up on release candidates and needs to be pulled back again.

Guy potentially jeopardized any future working relationships between Ninty and the dev/publisher. It isn't so much about what the ruby interpreter can do. There's potentially violations of terms and agreements Ninty had with the dev/pubs. Tweeting about this easter egg was basically showing intent on violating those terms and now he's trying to play the victim game.

It's a commercial. I seriously doubt that's in-game footage.

@DeQuimet I can vouch for save compatibility between physical and digital copies of XC

@Luna_110 I'd go for classic controller. The only thing is you have to take your thumb off the analog stick (movement) to change arts (dpad) during battle. Maybe wiimote+nunchuck might be better in that sense but I've never tried.

You can also just use the gamepad as well

Love this series! Loved the DS and PSP versions, got super addicted to the main series on PC. Please come to EU/AU shops!

Correction: the wonderswan color had 256 Megabit ram. MB would refer to megaBYTE, not megaBIT.

Personally, I loved most wanted on Wii U, it's the most polished and definitive version of the game. It's a real shame what's happened to Criterion. Been a fan of their games since I had burnout 2 on my cube.

@AltDotNerd Did you...read the article?

Getting a digital copy as a pack in is a much smarter move in my opinion. They had bundles where the game was pre-installed on the machine. For those upgrading from a regular 3DS or willing to replace their existing XL's, they can transfer the system over without worrying they'll lose out on the pack in game. Of course, the best option would've been a physical game in the box but that would've brought the price higher. For those like me who prefer a physical game, they could also just sell the code, like I did for wind waker HD.

Anyone reminded of the prototype GBA colours?

@SpinelessOyster Actually, that's kinda what the japanese box art was. Well, at least it was link in that pose on a blue background...

I agree with their reasoning. Better than annual shooters where the "new experience" comes in the form of new guns and maps.

Yes, Nintendo should've made an HD console box that is indistinguishable to other consoles and platforms, and provide the exact same experience. It would've dominated the market. Honestly, take away the DRM/online controversy, you could just flip a coin when deciding on whether you'd want a PS4 and xbone.

Do they even remember the wonderbook/ps3 pack competition? They've never announced the winner, months after the due date. I don't know if they'll keep their word for this competition as well.

I love the taiko series, but it doesn't work localized. The english ps2 version had the sh*ttiest songs.

Is this the same tabloid that stated the 3DS will make your kids go blind?

@Yellowgerbil Well, since the reports came out more and more people are claiming they notice it too. Hence, my two cents.

@Peach64 I would add Resi Revelaitons to that list of AAA titles.

Everyone complains about the XL not having a second circle pad. They seem to forget there's also the additional shoulder buttons. I can't begin to imagine how to work that into the design. Would you make the XL thicker? Would you make the buttons smaller and place them side by side like the Wii classic controller?

Also, designers should work with what they are given and design experiences accordingly. Metroid Prime Hunters was an FPS and it worked brilliantly by using the touchscreen.

I bet it's going to be $69AUD in our eShop like every single other big Nintendo game. There is zero sentiment to buy digital in Australia.

I'm a big die hard Nintendo fan, but I don't understand all the hate towards Pachter. If you watch his show Pach Attack, you'll realize he's actually very logical and critical of a lot of other things. I think his negative reputation comes mainly from fan boys. I do agree with some of the things he criticises about Nintendo.

I like seeing developers work with the given hardware specifications, rather than complain and beg for additional buttons or analog sticks. The game works fine for me with a single circle pad so I'm happy they went down that route.

I think I've seen more 3DS (and XL) colours/editions in 2 years than DS colours/editions in 8.

Can someone elaborate on this? The 3DS version of the game can't go online by itself??

These bite sized, indie style games work better in separate digital chunks in my opinion. I don't carry much carts with me when I'm out, so I tend to prefer "bigger", "fuller" games occupying my cartridge slot.

@Bass_X0 ma bad. Got too excited.

@Shworange
@Peach64

Both are completely different games, not just your average different pokemon in each game kind of deal. Different world, different dungeons, the whole lot. Even the style of play is different, seasons is more action and ages more puzzle focused. If you finish either game, you get a password to input into the other game, effectively combining both into 1 big adventure that apparently has a "real" ending.

(excuse my capital letters outburst, but...)
YES HOLY DOODOO LOVING YESSSSSSSS!!!

I've actually very recently had the urge to finish off Onox in my copy of seasons, and then wanting to continue into ages. This. Is. Perfect. Timing. Just gotta make sure the battery in my seasons doesn't die before I can get the end game password.

This Eevee evolution will be of a new pokemon type they will introduce in generation 6: dumb-looking.

I'm glad there are still people who know the difference between the original SP and the AGS-101 SP. I've seen so many people claim the original model had a backlit screen when it was only frontlit. I must say though, I have both variants of the SP and the backlit model is definitely well worth the price difference. However if you're looking to play in the dark in bed, it'll burn your eyes off.

400K units for US, 40K for UK...my fellow PAL gamers I feel your pain.

He better be humbled. Sony's in the sh*t right now.

The only thing more useless than a Kotaku article is a Brian Ashcraft Kotaku article

"Any pre-installed Nintendo 3DS download software will be transferred from the source system to the target system. However if you delete your Nintendo eShop account activity on the target system after the transfer, you will no longer be able to redownload this software to that system from Nintendo eShop."

What does this mean? Does this mean if I clear my eshop account activity then ALL the things I've ever bought on the eshop is no longer redownloadable? Has this always been in the 3DS, regardless of doing a system transfer?

is hk/taiwan part of the japanese region coding or do they have their own?

Japan's been getting a few limited colours, and more games. DO WE HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT TO IWATA?!

The last Mario Tennis game I played was the one on game boy color, and the RPG mode was as addictive as crack. Shame this one won't have it.
