Yes but the game itself is developed by tri-Ace which is an instant buy for me. Totally stoked for this.
Edit: is this one a port or a new title? Not familiar with the series. Just remember seeing tri-Ace attached to some of the games. I think Level 5 developed one too...
I may end up purchasing this. I've enjoyed the demo so far but I just have too much to play right now. Can't stop playing Shuffle, Xenoblade, and Devil Survivor 2. Usually in that order as well, once I get home from work.
I really hope they do incorporate some type of achievement system. I mean they do it for Mii Plaza and some games occasionally.
What I'd really love to see is a Steam trading card knock off. They (Nintendo) seem to have 'stickers' pop up in some games from time to time so maybe they could have a sticker book or somethin like that.
@AJ_Lethal
This type of comment always cracks me up. So what if it's "meaningless?" Video games are meaningless period. You think there is some deeper meaning in anything you do with games?
While I would absolutely want to play this on a Nintendo console I love this man and will buy it no matter what.
It's obviously going to be an "unofficial" follow up/spiritual successor to Symphony of the Night. You have to be a knuckle head to voluntarily pass on this.
Just a little constructive criticism. The structure of the joke is okay but it would have been better had someone actually complained about the cursing.
Okay well I have said my piece about these runs before but it's obviously a different category. It's impressive no doubt. The craziest thing I noticed was he wasn't even 100% focused on what he was doing. He was talking to people and looking at his monitor every chance he could.
It's crazy how quickly something like this can happen. Even though it's not for certain yet, it does look like Konami is in a downward spiral. If it does happen I hope the properties will be picked up by solid companies. Maybe Nintendo can pick some up?
I didn't really like this one that much but I think it was a fine free to play game.
It's a shame I couldn't get into it because it seemed to buck the trend of only allowing you to play for a little bit before cutting you off and forcing you to wait or spend money to continue playing.
If you are into the type of game it is highly recommended though.
I loved Puzzle and Dragons it's super fun and requires skill and can be absolutely brutal but I'm totally stoked for this and Z.
I am kind of hoping the Mario version is a little easier and 'accessible' so they can get more people into it. The mobile game wasn't just match 3 to 5 gems and get a lucky cascade for easy wins.
Well he didn't say it's a major issue they are facing just mentioned it. And I actually think it is something to be considered since it is a common complaint for jrpg's.
I've heard plenty of times where people are all bent out of shape because so and so's boobies are too big or some girl looks too young to have breasts that size, etc.
Agree 100%. I do have some reserved confidence in DeNa. Record Keeper is pretty sweet for a free to play game and if they do premium games I imagine the quality is going to be a big thing. I can't see Nintendo allowing their brand to be tarnished by cookie cutter mobile games with pallette swaps of their characters. But who knows I could be 100% wrong.
I am taking no stance on this argument but just wanted to point out that Nintendo gets nothing out an eBay purchase. Really a bad argument. If you buy a car and are able to flip it for a profit how much are you gonna kick back to the original owner?
Yes that is exactly what I said and the point I was trying to make. I totally was not trying to say we have no idea what the new hardware is capable of and how impressive the first exclusive title for New 3DS is. I was specifically saying mid Gen wii game = 3d world. Really
That is a great point. There obviously is some interest or these titles wouldn't even chart if this system is such a 'failure' as it's being labeled by some.
So wake up Nintendo! Start churning out some titles and people will buy more consoles which will sell more games.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but people keep talking about sales of the actual consoles but I recall reading somewhere that most companies don't even make profit from the systems but instead the money comes from games and accessories.
Fair points but I never actually said anything about Wii U. But almost everything you said was personal opinions and generalizing and speaking for an audience (who may agree with you). I was talking about the people who associate "failure" commercially with the awful buzzword and I hate even quoting it...'epic fail.'
My point was, and feel free to show the numbers that contradict me, the definition of failure is if it doesn't make a profit. Do we actually know those numbers? If you love it or don't like the system I couldn't care less, and as I said your views on available titles are opinion not fact.
Some people seem to equate a commercial 'failure' as being bad. That is not necessarily the case. Games, systems, movie etc can be absolutely brilliant and still 'fail' with consumers. On the flip side there can be financial 'sucesses' that are totally...blah.
Also he or she implying that people just buy games just to buy them made me giggle a little bit. Well there aren't any other games this week...guess I have to buy Mario Party even though everyone hates it.
Horrible, terrible, absolutely awful idea. Just a couple examples, Smash on Wii U is so much better. Not saying the 3DS isn't good. And Zelda on portable are great but to even think about not having a new console adventure makes me want to puke in my pants.
Absolutely loved this system. Lost it (and many other belongings) in a move. Don't know if it was just the timing of the release or lack of advertising but it really was great.
That's a relief. Happy they won't go the way of Silicon Knights and Rare. While it wasn't terrible like some say Too Human was a gigantic letdown for me personally.
@DualWielding
Mistake? No by that logic all systems since SNES excluding Wii are a "mistake." It is a fantastic system that unfortunately doesn't have the selling power yet.
Just seems kind of slow period. Nintendo needs to give more reasons to get the New 3DS though. It really is a great system and I'm super happy I got it.
I don't blame Jools. It's not like anyone can say anything for sure yet. It's going to be something new and there may be an adjustment period but once it gets going I don't think people realize how good this could be.
I do realize the potential for shovelware but the potential outweighs that for sure. Yeah you will get some guy who builds a shooter that is about as bare bones as can be (and try to charge 9.99 for it) but I can still find gems on steam...with a little digging sometimes but they are in fact there.
What do you mean? When did I ever say anyone didn't have the right to express opinion? I asked a question then made a statement. Unless he or she owns this website why would you think you can tell said website what they can or can't say? That is not just expressing an opinion.
It is super easy just as Miibot says. And yes you can just copy and paste folders when you eventually get one. Honestly 32 will last a while. I just recently went under 300k blocks and I have most Atlus titles, Xenoblade, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, STEAM, Alpha Sapphire plus some more I can't remember and a slew of 3dsware and Virtual Console games.
If you don't work for DeNa you have nothing to worry about. It is sad but as has already been mentioned several times this always happens after deals like this.
Heck yeah. I hate how you hafta use a separate program just to setup controller support on Steam and that game would be dope on a portable. I have a Vita but I'd really rather have it on my 3ds fo sho.
Yeah, here's the thing. I play my copy on my 3ds not on YouTube. That's kind of a silly argument and doesn't even make sense.
@farore311
No doubt. I have been reading about this constantly and how impressions were saying the same thing but I am still amazed seeing and playing it myself how good it is. Monster did an incredible job and I'm excited to see the right developer build a game from the ground up.
