I'm not entirely sure how or where those values are found, but a lot of the community are skeptical of it for now.

I'd be too, really. Don't really know what to think of this bit of data that was found. Maybe a little more thorough research from the hacking community would reveal more.

All in all, hidden text in games are just that - hidden text. Until any confirmation comes of any of these titles, I'd say take with a bit of salt, but remain hopeful that some of the many titles would come out.

Myself? Comix Zone would be interesting in 3D. Seeing pages rip in the 3D view would be amazing in my point of view.

My Yarn Yoshi arrived a few minutes ago, it's as functional as a standard Yoshi (it being able to register as Yoshi in Smash) and it's just SOOOOOO cute.

@Zeldamaster97 The Wii U version of the game was a complete and utter mess. Glitches, Bugs and exploits to be found in the game (probably so even after the patches too). The 3DS version was clunky and hard to control, but at least it wasn't as much of a mess as what the Wii U version was

Don't defend the Wii U version of Sonic Boom, Defend the Wii U itself. Doesn't help that BRB had to deal with development issues and little to no support from Sonic Team, and that the engine that Sonic Boom Wii U was made on was not specifically optimized for the Wii U at that point, so clunky controls, jerky gameplay and difficult movement kind of was a misnomer for the game in the long run.

D-Fekt, as in the word Defect? Wow, I'm sensing a lot of references to the Wii U version.

@ArtWark this is true. FE is quite a popular Tactical RPG. Pity Langrisser/Warsong never made it out past the first game, since those games have reached Western obscurity.

I think @kiigu is hitting the nail on point here. The only thing REALLY required here is to make sure that the frameworks are there and compatible for the system.

Nintendo still do keep a very strict guideline for their work in regards to Quality Control and in terms of those guidelines. (Lest we forget 1983) Android's lack of standards is what makes me disgusted at people throwing their arms up towards Mobile and the reason why I think the Mobile industry deserves a crash before anything goes.

@Peach64 I think I still disagree for a certain aspect: We don't know what chips are going to run the NX. If they're ARM-based, then sure, but with the Wii U being Power PC based, it blocks the compatibility aside. Perhaps a sacrifice that needs to be made (or have an extra chip that handles the Wii U Dolphin hardware) for compatibility?

One never knows, still, building from the ground up would be better than building on the basis of an Android Operating system, it means removing hundreds and hundreds of lines of core programming to get to the designated system.

Still, I think once we know what the system runs off of completely, we can make a definitive decision on what will be done with this... thing. I don't think Nintendo would even use the Android System as a whole, but would probably use integral parts of the OS to build on their own OS. Open to interpretation and speculation if you will, but I don't think much of the Android Operating System will be left once they put it in as a final product at all.

@Peach64 Sure, talk about specs, but don't talk about how bloated and vulnerable the OS is. Do you know how many bugs are compatibility-based on an Android phone?

Needless to say, this is why I'm moving away from Android completely next mobile generation.

The Android system is very vulnerable. I would be surprised they actually went through with this given the fact that there's constant bugs and issues that crop up. Compatibility would be scrapped for something more benign and I don't really think Nintendo would have been working on this since the development of the Wii U to warrant too much thought for me.

Although it sets warning bells that the industry is basically choking itself on what it believes to be "Good games" I believe that Nintendo need to stay true to themselves (like they have always been) in order to succeed on their own and not succumb to the fast and easily broken mobile industry.

Hopefully Nintendo are /smart/ about this if it does go like this.

Please Understand.

Wonder if it has its sitrus berry on it...

Still, I wonder why X/Y was left out of the field for this. They could do X/Y Rules and ORAS Rules, but whatever.

STILL waiting for a Reach Mahjong game to be released locally on the 3DS.

Sega rolls out another bunch of themes... while we get none. -.-

No Puyo themes, no Console themes. Yup. This sucks.

ARE you freaking serious?

You know why people don't care about Senran Kagura? It's RATED as a game which promotes nudity and violence (to some extent, not full-blown) and that's WHY it's rated 16.

Did someone really get their knickers in a knot because of they saw 1) Women fighting, 2) breasts sticking out?

Honestly, it's not XSEED's or Tamsoft's responsibility, they're creating an art, an art which a certain audience enjoy, And just for a fighting game?
Also, I'm sure that you can attack other games for their integrity, but why choose this one?

Aww, and I legitimately want to get my hands on OOT3D. I hope the game doesn't go crazy rare now.

To be fair, From what I read, it only is allowing V1.0 retail releases. Any new retail releases won't be affected.

Also, I don't see why everyone's so bitter about this. I can see it being a good means since Nintendo hogged Sonic for a FULL 3 game exclusivity deal, 2 of which didn't do so well (Sonic Lost World tried at least, Boom just wasn't good at all) and one that had mediocre results.

Gotta admit though, Sega's Marketing Team are sure weird when it comes to fan demands. Where's PSO2? Where Puyo Tetris? There's so much demand for both of the above games, yet no care went into even knowing if there's any progress in it? I'm at least glad we're getting an English Miku game for the 3DS, but it's been way overdue.

So if it really is that great, I'll get it on PC, supposing that Sega go the Steam-Powered route.

At least it's not Pulseman or anything I'd miss. We'll see how this new IP goes, not really sure on the style of it all.

@TeeJay As far as I know, Hatsune Miku gets text translations and English subtitles for its tracks, so it'd be easy to navigate and get around. Still, a localized version with all these items in? I'm going to enjoy it.

There's so much in this game. With the amount of content in this version of the game, I hope none of it gets cut out for the localized version.

Of course, I'm going to be pre-ordering this in April.

Terrible. Nintendo need to give us a Riichi game and I'll be fine. Still waiting on you, Nintendo.

Honestly, why don't you call it by its original names: Shanghai or Teipei?

I share the same sentiments with you Thomas. I'm 23, I only got my first portable (DS Lite) at 19. I came in very late in my time, so I'm playing a lot of catch up.

My wallet has died. I may need to resurrect it with some cash before I buy MH4U.

Some people are disgusting...

@ikki5 There's a 3DS version of 2048 out for 12 ZAR (South African Rand, I suppose it translates to 1 pound or something), that proves the minimal aspect of the game. It's a squeeze-in-time type of game, doesn't really have much use om my 3DS.

@KNITEpanda I think I could say I'm fair by going with the Sword and Shield from the start. I don't like the dual blades, they're far too messy to work with, but the Sword and Shield has a very good balance. I only started playing with the demo, but I like what I see so far.

@DarkKirby Wish Nintendo could step up their Social Networking game. A screenshot shortcut would be nice from them so we can post to social media whatever we want and not be restricted to any of their nonsensical and restrictive services (miiverse, lol)

bet the BAFTA's are rigged

@ikki5 think of 2048. 2048 derives from threes.

"It'll be fascinating to see what it does next."

If these are steps forward to Region Free, I'll be happy.

Tell me there's going to be a purple theme for the New 3DS...

Still a fan of Tetris, just wish Puyo could come along just as greatly as what Tetris did.

Count me out until I get a proper "Reach" Mahjong game. I wouldn't touch Shanghai Mahjong with a 20-foot pole if my life depended on it.

@BLPs It bypasses the Home Menu Region Checks and runs straight into cart mode. It does work, as I've checked personally.

Neat. I think the Power Glove would be an awesome Wii (U) Mod or resurrection if it ever gets reproduced again. It's incredibly hard to find a Power Glove in this day and Age.

I love me some nice black hardware. Seriously, most of my hardware in my household is black, I've got to keep a motif here.

I think I need to buy myself a 32GB micro SD as well, but that will have to wait 2 weeks later when I've got my pay.

Ooohhh. Anime content right on a New 3DS (which I'm going to buy).

I'm for this, and I'd be even more for this is we could change sub/dub versions as well as getting some decent Anime. I think most of the Anime here are going to be E-rated though, so don't get your hopes up for anything like Eva or anything like that. Could be a possibility with an online filter service, though (Just sayin')

I see a lot of people saying "It's okay if the smaller one doesn't come out." What difference does ONE INCH make?

Still, the normal N3DS argument doesn't make sense.

I'll be buying a black N3DS on launch though, since most (if not all) my games are European release.

Half the stuff on this game is broken, and the game lost interest already. This game has not aged well and surely doesn't feel fun at all. I'd rather fire up Nullpomino than this.

I wanted something exciting, interesting and fun, and Tetris Ultimate doesn't feel that way. I currently have 82% of the game complete and the only badges I can't get are the ones way out of my reach. (there's about 10 of them that I can't get.), currently on 8th-Black Belt and I'm bored of the customization. There's nothing aesthetically pleasing about this game, and there's no modes that can redeem my interest in the game.

I'd like a Fever Mode, like what Tetris Axis introduced (and what Puyo Puyo Tetris introduced for Big Bang Mode, which is heavily intuitive.) because we're looking to add to the game, not buy the same iteration over and over again.

The scoring system is broken, most of the DAS settings are unstable and all the modes feel too easy when you get to a level of play which you speed through the game.

Meanwhile, may I crawl back in my hole? Sucks that of all of the anticipated games of 2014, TU was Terrible and PuyoTet has no likelihood of being released Westside. I'm still angry at Sega, so it's understandable I guess. (Sonic Boom was Terrible too, by the way, and I hope Sega redeems themselves this year.)

New 3DS would be nice. When I've bought Majora's Mask, I'll buy OOT just to play that too.

Would love if it was a radio streamer too, really. I use 3DS Sound for some of my music, but it's not often.

"With friends like these, who needs enemies?"

Like I've said time and time again, I need 10+ games and a collectable value of 100 hours before I buy another console. my 3DS is starting to shape up its bulk of games too. Sorry, but the Vita isn't worth it for me, not even for the value of Region Free.

Still wondering though, once this exploit is out, it'll blast the doors open for others to find more holes in the system to have more homebrew. Same happened with Smash Brawl, and Twilight Princess, And cough Lego Batman.

Having a guess the exploit is going the same route that The Wii had when it got hit with the hole. It'll only be a matter of time before someone figures it all out.

As the honor of Homebrew Coders: They NEVER have or want anything to do with piracy. It's the pirates that steal from the homebrewers to use THEIR exploits against them. It'll only be a matter of time before all hell breaks loose.

SO HYPE!!!
Been waiting for news on this o/

I'M REALLY (Not) FEELING IT!!!

@Damo This is probably a snark case from Konami.

Entitlement to Fair Use is what is being done inside the book and is fully allowable as per copyright and trademark laws. If there is a cease-and-desist, then can that cease-and-desist be objected? Can you challenge the fact that one is simply "teaching and library archiving" your works, which is fully legal and allowable?

ayayayai Konami, you're in a sticky situation with this case, I don't get you... -.-

The headline video got taken down as a Copyright Claim. Any probable reason why? (I'm guessing even Sega are ashamed to admit that this game was...

...

...Sonic Rushed)

@DiscoGentleman Skeptical toad is skeptical.

@Luffymcduck it's not about the franchise, it's the idea behind it. You could say the same to Sega, or Activision, or Microsoft, or Ubisoft or anybody else for the matter. This is not a fight of "innovation and ideas." It's rather a fight of "Immersive and enjoyable" things. This is why I play games, as a release and to get out of personal issues that I have.

As for Miyamoto, I've always seen him as a man with a good sense of humor, and his ideas give formative decisions towards the outcomes of his designs. It's not what you put in. It's what you get out. Gaming is an art, and not just something that needs to be splashed up on. Many people forget this when going into the industry.

@Daruncic Wish so, too. ((Damn it Sega, why do you make me feel like I have to resort to doing so much to continue my binge on Puyo? It's been 10 years ))

@unrandomsam With Sega Co-Licensing its part of Puyo Puyo Tetris, and Sonic Team consistently restructuring, I doubt it would come over officially. Sega have always been reluctant to release Puyo Puyo overseas (which I wonder why Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Avalanche were created in the first place, they broke the means to make Puyo Puyo popular here.) While the Tetris Company are quite open to Licensing over here, I'm afraid it'll be the same case as Tetris Monsters.

@kupocake This, to Tetris Ultimate. I have the feeling people are going to whinge a lot at Tetris Ultimate for the way it's going to do a lot of things. It doesn't even have a Fever Mode (by now I would have expected one, like Axis had.) and Puyo Puyo Tetris looks like the most complete game that's been done in a while. (Axis was kind of like an add-on to Tetris Party Deluxe, which shows how lazily ported it was.) Right now, the future for Tetris Ultimate 3DS has potential for people to buy consoles. (I remember Sisu of Hard Drop asking about the 3DS in the Q&A Forums).

Hell, I'd live for a Lucky Attack mode like what's in PPT. No questions.
