Now what do I want to be included in this 20? I doubt it would be 20 brand new titles but starting with the Sonic Advance games would be good with maybe more polished graphics? still 2D sprites though. The return of Alex Kidd? Virtua Fighter? Street Fighter and DOA are looking good. Phantasy Star, never played one but it would be nice to hear of some RPGs heading to the system. They made F-Zero GX and that was awesome so F-Zero 3DX! Maybe some amazing new IPs too!
@Token_Girl the rumours of that are unlikely to be true, I'm expecting a lot of Kinect presence from them, hopefully something that will get me remembering I have one other than seeing Child of Eden occasionally advertised
"We'll be able to use all the capacity the console is giving but also use all the work we do for the other platforms." Is this referring to significantly more powerful hardware, a funky new controller or both? I hope it's both. But does this mean shoddy ports or a definitive version of Beyond Good and Evil 2? I unfortuantly forsee the former
@Ren hmm, never knew Disater: Day of Crisis never came out in America, that's strange. It would cost a lot to translate and dub a story heavy game like this and one that's a bit of a gamble saleswise probably isn't worthwhile from a buisness point of view...sigh, this and Last Story would be purchases for me.
@MasterGraveheart I'm not surprised either but it was still just all rumour, in fact everything apart from the fact there is a console is rumoured.
@Crunc what real reason is there not to announce that Zumba would come to Kinect/Move? I mean it's not like the sort of game people would even noticed if it was cancelled.
@zezzy the fan reception to the demo was so high that I think they had to make it. the multiplayer features of Peace Walker are supposed to be included which is fairly awesome although I can't see how it works into the plot...
@daznsaz no, apparently Nintendo e-mail us when it's available to download or something.
You'd have thought there were better 3rd party games to launch a service on than those two...and Nintendo only offering two games is a bit poor, even though they are two good games.
@63 Firstly, it's called opinion. Secondly, Nintendo are my favourite developers/publishers. But are you really saying that other developers should be ignored? Nintendo aren't top dogs in every genre and YOU are fooling yourself if you think otherwise.
@Dylan1 wow...how small is your game collection? Have you heard of Capcom, Konami, Sega or Square? Fairly obvious choices but they've made a fair few amazing games between them in their time.
Total bargain in my eyes, if sales are down £99.99 for Wii + MarioKart will see more than a few purchases I imagine. Although buying 3 remotes and 4 classic controllers to play it properly would cost more than the package itself
Is it unrealistic to wish for 32 new tracks combined with 16 retro ones to have 12 cups? ...Actually screw just 16 retro tracks, I want every Mario Kart track included in this one including a cup made up just Rainbow Roads!
if there's any truth in this I'm hoping that this is for a "Arcade" model like X360 launched with, I'd like a nice load of storage to be able to use for DLC, CafeWare etc. My PS3 has 120GB which is more than enough and hard drives that size are not expensive so I don't see why that's not a viable option.
If there's any truth in the Rockstar rumours and since they're now keen on helping out third parties I'm sure they especially would ask for a bit of storage to take up. Same with Hideo Kojima since I'm sure they'll have shown this off to him like they did 3DS.
Only 1 month and 3-4 days of all this speculation stuff...I'm going to miss it
Why am I so excited for a game I've completed several times?
@moosa the graphics are noticeably improved due to the superior hardware but the art style's remained the same which is why it looks similar (which is a good thing!)
@Ryno The load times in the PS version are very annoying, maybe not so much if you've not played the SNES or DS versions but I barely got anywhere in it out of annoyance.
what are people worried about? getting big western developers to actively support a new system can't be a bad thing surely? I mean I don't care about Call of Duty games but if the system can have a full featured version and not a dumbed down version because of the system specifications that's surely good for Nintendo?
@8 Cable!? Wii and DS could hook up wirelessly you know
Not really shocked by this, I am expecting a classic/GameCube controller with a touchscreen, no smoke without fire etc. (and there's a hell of a lot of smoke!)
Most of those rumours could be a year old and talking about a certain handheld that just came out a month ago...I'm predicting a March 2012 launch for this social hot spot of a Cafe where people walk around with name tags and not serial numbers
@Rathe: I've had my original DS since 2004 and never upgraded, I was tempted to get a DSi for DSiWare but thought it would be cheaper to just wait for a 3DS...so that's why you'd buy DSi games at launch, that and the launch day games will probably suck, going to have to wait for Ocarina, Snake Eater, Kid Icarus etc.

Re: Barry Burton Rounds Off The Mercenaries 3D Cast Members
Ladies, Gentlemen and Barry Burtons!
Wasn't going to get this game but a Revelations demo AND Barry...who could say no?
Re: Up to 20 SEGA Games Could be Available on 3DS by Next March
20 by March? That's nothing, Ubisoft could have that by next week if they wanted.
If you take a look at Sega's list of development studios then I don't think that it's unrealistic considering the amount and the fact that it's almost a year since the first demos on 3DS were shown.
Now what do I want to be included in this 20?
I doubt it would be 20 brand new titles but starting with the Sonic Advance games would be good with maybe more polished graphics? still 2D sprites though.
The return of Alex Kidd?
Virtua Fighter? Street Fighter and DOA are looking good.
Phantasy Star, never played one but it would be nice to hear of some RPGs heading to the system.
They made F-Zero GX and that was awesome so F-Zero 3DX!
Maybe some amazing new IPs too!
I don't think that's asking too much

@GuardianAcorn it's Chrono Trigger though! I'm tempted to buy this even though I already own it 3 times it's that good

Good morning Crono.
Re: Ubisoft Boss Praises Project Cafe, Foresees Sales Success
@moosa I'd count Twilight Princess as a port of a GameCube game.

Re: Rumour: 3DS Developer Conference Next Tuesday
@Kid_A could you not just go on eBay and buy the cart with a Game Boy if you've not got one? It would probably be quicker
Re: Wait, Did Majesco Just Announce the First Wii 2 Game?
@hattrick technically if Cafe is playable at E3 the system itself aleady exists

does this not also (as good as) confirm Wii Remote/motion controller compatibility?

Re: Rumour: Sonic Generations and Time Crisis Heading to 3DS
@NintyFan well Sonic The Hedgehog (the 2006 game) was only on X360 and PS3 and it's probably a good thing less people got the chance to play that.

Re: THQ Cancels Saints Row: Drive-By for 3DS
yup, never knew this was in development either tend to see "THQ" and laugh at the game...
@SilverBlacktail YES!! That would be awesome, I need more B.B. Hood in my life, DS3 and MvC2 are not enough

@Bass X0 The problem with getting a DS online is that you need a WEP key on your router which is fairly outdated now and you probably don't have.
