Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here

Qwikman_N_Bass - I kind of agree with you, I'm looking at that and asking myself Why?!?!?! The current model is perfect for my pocket and I carry it everywhere I go to streetpass, theres no way that the XL is fitting in my pocket. I was also wondering with all that extra space not only for the screen, but also for the controls why didn;t they include a second circle pad? I really could care less about using a second onemyself, but you would think that adding one would be a no brainer to help out those who do want to play Icarus or Monster Hunter, etc.

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Jr. (3DS eShop / NES)

I have to disagree with this article, I grew up on these type of games and sure they repeated themselves, but that was the point! The object wasn't exploring different areas and upgrades, it was to see how far you could get and wqho could get the highest score. I loved Donkey Kong, but felt that this was actually the best of the three games.

Re: Mercury Steam Talks Up 3DS for Castlevania: Mirror of Fate

This looks pretty awesome! But I have to say as a huge fan of the Advance/DS games I'm a bit worried when they say that the games is a reboot in one of the interviews. Theres already a great story in place to be added upon, so why do they need to tell an alternate? Also that makes me think that a reboot means that it won't have the elements that made the previous 6 great? I hope that I'm proven wrong.

Re: E3 2012: Get to the NA eShop for Some New 3DS Demos

Speaking of downloads we also got Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario downloadable trailers! I'm curious though why only a select few are downloadable and not all, I hate trying to watch online and having it buffer a number of times while watching because of my internet connection.

Yeah I downloaded Lego Batman 2 and its awesome! I was sooo impressed by the fight animation and the ability to control your batarangs with the touch screen. I have the Wii version preordered at Gamestop (free Lex Luthor in Green suit lego figure) so I'm curious besides better graphics how different it will be?

Re: Nintendo Denies 3DS Redesign, Wii U Price Revelation

paburrows

Yeah its too soon for a redesign, we will probably find out about a bunch of games and an update of some sort for the 3DS. A new 3DS would only steal the thunder of the Wii U and if I'm remembering correctly Nintendo's never launched two systems in the same year.

Just checked the e-shop and they also have a preview of next weeks releases, with videos, Game and Watch Gallery 2 and Snakenoid Deluxe which looks like a Araknoid/Break out except that you control the snake with your finger on the touch screen rather then the d-pad.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Banks on Its Old Money Makers

I don't really see Nintendo using Mario so much as a bad thing, Movies do sequels because they are an almost guaranteed success, which brings in more money so that they can make the more experimental movies. Same thing with toys, collectors hate the transformers repaints, but again that brings in more money and keeps the line going so that more original figures can be made. So Nintendo makes more Marios and Zeldas, that only brings in more money so that more original games can be made.
