resident evil is a very good series, but capcom seems to be milking it a bit too much and as much as streetfighter. if only they would release a new I.P or megaman, rival schools, darkstalkers or final fight game.
@OldBoy re: Yes its sad for the staff but why should people support a business that continually rips you off with mega high prices, doesn't stock anything other than FIFA ,COD type games, gives ridiculously low trade in prices, pushes second hand games over new, have staff that are clueless/rude and ignorant (in my experience) and well ,is basically just a terrible store. >> this.
i feel for the employees who will be losing their jobs, however, those exact reasons @OldBoy stated with regards to GAME is precisely why they are in the situation they are in right now.
by turning away 3DS, wii , DS owners by not stocking certain titles- YET still promote the heck out of COD, and other high profiled PS3, xbox and adding to that vita games, means owners will get their games elsewhere. be it in another store or online.
i can see how it could work with those analogue sticks as you can just toggle with them.
i don't mind whether or not it has them in the final version, but if they do make it in the final version, i do hope they don't make them feel as too clunky or disjointed.
i think having a new pokemon game for the DS is a good thing because it prolongs the life of the DS, which is good news for owners.
and like some have said, the 3DS allows you to play DS games, so it's not like one is missing out on this. nintendo will (hopefully) release a new pokemon title for the 3DS.
as long as good games are coming out for nintendo systems, i don't care because it shows developers are still keen on the DS, 3DS, wii. so i don't see this as a bad thing at all.
this from a store that promotes the heck out of modern warfare 3 and final fantasy 13 for the xbox, PS3 - yet decides not to stock tekken 3d and the last story.
i can get this limited edition box set on amazon UK for a cheaper price, so it's not that big of a loss.
@Heavy_Barrel if that ever happens, i will be absolutely ecstatic.
but even the announcement of capcom, SEGA and namco bandai - 3 of the biggest games developers aside from nintendo themselves- working on a joint 3DS project sounds too good to be true.
it is one of those strange titles by SEGA, but it would be great for them to port jet set radio, crazy taxi and shenmue from the dreamcast line up too.
hopefully they'll announce some new wii and 3DS titles. i'm doubtful they'll give anything away with regards to the wii U, as i think nintendo will do that in E3.
it can be argued indeed that the 3DS is currently lacking in third party games yes. but i don't foresee a predicament similar to what has happened to the wii this time with major developers completely shunning the system, as in 3DS in favour of the vita.
if anything, it's the upcoming follow-up to the wii, the wii U that really needs proper 3rd party support. nintendo can't be solely dependent on just mario, zelda etc and i believe the wii U is the one we should be wary of for 3rd party games not the 3DS. though nintendo gained a huge casual crowd with the wii, they did lose some of the hardcore gamers as well. which is why i see the wii U situation as the main issue that nintendo has to address, especially by gaining major 3rd party support from capcom, SEGA, konami, namco etc.
besides, nintendo has always had success in the handheld market- look at the gameboy, GB advance, DS; therefore, i don't think we should be worried for the 3DS just yet.
wayforward have become one of my favourite developers.
i love their style and the fact that many of their games remind me of the 80s, 90 gaming back in the days. i think it would be good if they released and made games for both the eshop and for retail outlets in general.
considering that xenoblade got released in the U.K, it is surprising to see it omitted from the list.
still hoping that nintendo will walk away with 1 award, but chances are, i think the judges will opt for games heavily reliant on cinematic efforts, big explosions and violence instead.
@Bass_X0 Everybody hates the sun but it remains england's best selling paper.
last i read it's the daily mail that became england's best selling paper. both are terrible.
typical reaction from the tabloids over something like this. as terrible as that incident was, the likes of the metro had to take one situation and blow it out of proportion.
both smash bros and tekken are 2 different types of fighting games. well make that games, but it's interested harada cited smash bros as his inspiration behind tekken 3D.
tekken is going to be one hell of a game on the 3DS.
voted for skyward sword. surprising to see xenoblade omitted from the list, though i guess not many have heard of it, even if it did come out in the U.K.
if xenoblade chronicles was on this list, i would've voted for that one.
i played kinnect sports a year, 2 years ago in game or HMV. it was one of those stores. didn't like it, i felt and looked foolish waving my hands and legs about.
it is rather sad what they have become of now, considering the great stuff they did with nintendo all those years ago.
@23 i think gaming changed forever when sony stepped onto the scene. then microsoft joined in a couple of years later. SNK would've stood a chance- had they not overpriced their neo geo machine at £300+/$300 +.
nintendo and sega- 2 proper video game companies >> microsoft and sony- 2 non video game companies in the gaming business.
SEGA during the 90s were much more cooler and had better franchises than today. although i do like bayonetta, virtua fighter, anarchy reigns of today. looking forward to rhythm thief from SEGA for the 3DS.

Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - March 2012
@sinalefa oh thanks for that reply. interesting.
Re: Review: Mario Party 9 (Wii)

Re: Nintendo Japan Reveals Cobalt Blue 3DS Console
hope nintendo of europe and america take note and release that cobalt blue 3DS edition.

the others however sound like great titles. looking forward to last blade.
Re: Nate Stehley Looks Happy With His Real-Life Mario Kart

Re: European Virtual Console Set for Bumper March Crop
this is a terrific line-up
Re: Retro Game Master Headed to DVD
@Joco84 i loved gamesmaster- that was a great series.
Re: Tekken Wii U Could Use Controller as Digital Strategy Guide
i just hope this version is an improvement over the 3DS game with more game play modes. something which was lacking in that one.
Re: New SNES Title On the Way in 2013
wow, this is rare and unexpected of a developer to make and release a game for a console that is no longer on sale.
however, i still think this should be on the wii V.C service.
Re: SEGA AM2's First 3DS Project is Not Virtua Fighter
i'm a virtua fighter fan though i still hope the game will come on the 3ds, or possibly the wii U.
this one however looks cutesy, but i'd still rather have VF5FS or VF6.
@Heavy_Barrel and @SpaceKappa - i totally agree with both of you
Re: Wii U Controller Originally Had Proper Analogue Sticks
i can see how it could work with those analogue sticks as you can just toggle with them.
i don't mind whether or not it has them in the final version, but if they do make it in the final version, i do hope they don't make them feel as too clunky or disjointed.
Re: Gearbox Wants As Much Wii U Power As Possible
£199 up to £250 is the most i'll pay for the wii U.
even if this is going to be a port, i'd still love to see aliens: colonial marines on the system.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Team Recruiting for 3DS Game
monolith soft are what squaresoft and enix were during the 90s. and fingers crossed, they won't go the same way as that company.
but yes, this is intriguing. a sequel to the fantastic xenoblade just wouldn't go amiss.
Re: This is How Game Gear Games Will Look on 3DS
this is very cool!
Re: GAME Drops The Last Story Limited Edition
this from a store that promotes the heck out of modern warfare 3 and final fantasy 13 for the xbox, PS3 - yet decides not to stock tekken 3d and the last story.
i can get this limited edition box set on amazon UK for a cheaper price, so it's not that big of a loss.
Re: Rhythm Thief Arrives in Europe on 5th April
i was expecting this game to come out later this month, but good to know it is finalised for april 5th.

Re: Project Zero 2: Wii Edition Confirmed for Europe
@vonseux
yes, it is
Re: Project Zero 2: Wii Edition Confirmed for Europe
another wii game announced- hurrah! shows there is still life in the old dog yet.
Re: SEGA, Capcom and Namco Bandai Tease 3DS Project
@Heavy_Barrel if that ever happens, i will be absolutely ecstatic.
but even the announcement of capcom, SEGA and namco bandai - 3 of the biggest games developers aside from nintendo themselves- working on a joint 3DS project sounds too good to be true.
i'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled on this.
Re: Code of Princess Battle Movie is Guardian Heroes-Esque
loving the footage so far. i agree with the others, hope this gets localised in the west.

Re: Nintendo Resurrects Dreamcast's Seaman for 3DS

Re: GAME Not Stocking Tekken 3D Prime Edition
if you can get the game online for a much cheaper price than on GAME, then it's no big loss really.

this game received some mixed reviews, but i don't care because i think the last story will be great any way.
footage looked great itself.
Re: Pandora's Tower Reaches Europe on 13th April

Re: Kid Icarus AR Cards Come with a Tasty Treat
last year NOA released those kirby treats in parts of the U.S to celebrate the release of kirby's mass attack.

Re: 3DS Software Struggles in UK Charts
they need to slash the prices for the software
Re: Welcome to the New Look Nintendo Life!
it's nice but i miss the country flags, and the tabs for the different systems was a great idea.
i think i'll get used to it eventually though.
but thanks still
Re: Tekken 3D's Multiplayer Mode is 2D Only
@43. yes please to that as well
Re: Tekken 3D's Multiplayer Mode is 2D Only
@32
it would be nice if that mode was available as well
Re: Review: The King of Fighters '97 (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
excellent review. for anyone who is a fan of fighting games like myself, this is definitely one worth adding to their collection.
i hope SNK playmore release KOF 98 - 2003 for the V.C. be it wii or wii U.
Re: Tekken 3D's Multiplayer Mode is 2D Only

Re: Two Tribes Announces Toki Tori 2 Wii U Plans
the first official game to be released on the wii U? sweet!
Re: Tekken 3D's Multiplayer Mode is 2D Only
not having the 3D effect doesn't bother me at all- the fact it still has 40+ characters and a few other features still warrants a purchase.
looking forward to the review.
Re: Tekken Boss Harada Inspired by Super Smash Bros.
both smash bros and tekken are 2 different types of fighting games. well make that games, but it's interested harada cited smash bros as his inspiration behind tekken 3D.
tekken is going to be one hell of a game on the 3DS.
Re: Skyward Sword Up for BAFTA Game of 2011
voted for skyward sword. surprising to see xenoblade omitted from the list, though i guess not many have heard of it, even if it did come out in the U.K.
if xenoblade chronicles was on this list, i would've voted for that one.
Re: Mario Sneakers Are Perfect for Jumping Platforms

Re: Ex-Rare Staff Talk Nintendo, Microsoft and Where It All Changed
i played kinnect sports a year, 2 years ago in game or HMV. it was one of those stores. didn't like it, i felt and looked foolish waving my hands and legs about.

Re: See, Kids? Sonic and Mario Weren't Always Friends
@23 i think gaming changed forever when sony stepped onto the scene. then microsoft joined in a couple of years later. SNK would've stood a chance- had they not overpriced their neo geo machine at £300+/$300 +.
nintendo and sega- 2 proper video game companies >> microsoft and sony- 2 non video game companies in the gaming business.
SEGA during the 90s were much more cooler and had better franchises than today. although i do like bayonetta, virtua fighter, anarchy reigns of today. looking forward to rhythm thief from SEGA for the 3DS.
