If you liked SMB3 you’ll love SM3DL it’s heavily influenced by it and Mk7 is the best entry in the series IMO. if you like snes/genesis era sides scrollers though cop Shinobi and Cave Story ASAP I love those 2 games to death maybe more so than Dead Space =p, but then again I’m biased because 2D platformers are my favorite genre.
I was playing Shinobi last night, holy shit the combat still amazes me it really makes you feel like a badass ninja but not overpowered, the enemies will easily wreck your shit if your not on point.
Word is bond, btw. Considering getting Luigi’s Mansion for the free game, but I don’t really like non-physical media when it comes to video games and movies. eShop/arcade games being the exception.
Supposedly Nintendo is keeping an eye on Starfox 64 downloads to gauge interest.
Also, Nano Assault EX is a badass eShop title. Especially if you like oddball shmups. For traditional shmups, Galaga Legions (part of Pac Man & Galaga Dimensions). I play Galaga Legions more than anything else on 3DS.
My 3DSXL came today :woot:. Went to GS and copped Luigi’s Mansion, and got Super Mario 3D Land free from Nintendo.
Initial impression: this thing is pretty cool! My wife even thinks so, which delighted me. My hour lunch at work is going to be much better spent, hereafter.
That is the main reason why it probably isn’t worth the cost, although the additions to the HD release aren’t that much from what I’ve heard. Still, if you are in it for the story or to see RE in ‘3D’ it is a deal.
I don’t know what’s going on with NoA right now but we recieved an email today that we won’t be getting restocked on Luigi’s Mansion for a few weeks. Is this really some way for them to try to drive digital sales? It’s been selling pretty well so far to the point that we are sold out…so I can only think that that has to be the reason why they aren’t shipping as much.
In other news, I dled Harmoknight last night and it’s fun as hell. Highly reccommend the title if you enjoy rhythm based games.
It is most likely to drive digital sales. I really do not like the push in digital sales, if the digital sales really kick off and become the main way of distribution. We can say good bye to buying second hand games and getting them for cheap.
I personally dont see why people are even buying digital 3ds games right now. Is there even a way to get them back if something happens to your system right now? I dont think they are tied to the account yet.
As of right now, the account is tied to the system. You can transfer your account and system licenses between 3DS’s but if the 3DS with the account is dead then there’s going to be a slim chance you can get that stuff back.
The common person who doesn’t see what’s going on isn’t going to care since they want the game and they want the game now…the same kind of people who can’t be patient on systems when they get released and get gouged by people online. It’s one of the reasons I was adamant about not purchasing Fire Emblem digitally because if this is a practice that Nintendo is trying to sneak past people then I’m not going to contribute to their water testing.
Sounds like they might be changing their normal shipping structure/practices, I can’t believe any company would short change available retail just to drive up digital sales, unless it is meant to be a cost cutting measure either in not producing excess carts or they are going under a cheaper less effective way to ship.
Of course it will be a cost cutting measure. Why would they need retail stores to carry the games when they can sell it online and also no second hand market which means if you want the game you will have to buy it and it wont be at a discount either.
Look at all the incentives you have to buy digital games. I read somewhere that digital sales have increased by 33 percent, i am not looking forward to a digital main way or only way of distribution.
Like Sonic said above, it seems they also pulled this crap on fire emblem to drive digital sales. You remember hearing about everyone going crazy trying to find a copy and then just Dling it instead.
People have no patience and fail to see what can happen in the future.
Pokemon X and Y info may be coming next week…supposedly by Sat
Sales for this will be ridiculous. Although now that, I’m paranoid of Nintendo’s practices into the digital frontier with their retail games…I’m wondering if a similar stunt is going to happen when this gets released.
not sure exactly the reasoning behind this is since I’m sure Nintendo could easily sell it at 39.99 if they wanted too, but 5 bucks off is nice regardless.
Also Zero Escape 3 will take place between 999 and VLR
I haven’t played either title but supposedly this should come as no surprise to those who have played it.
But, I can’t wait for Mario Kart 7 and Star Fox, and those are already out. Luigi’s Mansion is surprisingly fun. I let myself play one stage of Mario 3D Land, and I’m looking forward to playing through it.
Amazon told me my copy has shipped so I’m guessing they are either going to be recalling games shipped with the bug or patching if it’s possible on the 3DS.
This guy is insane. On gamefaqs he said he had to do this level at least 100 times to get this perfect multiplyer, no damage run on very hard. I’m good at hard platformers but never in a million years could I do this, he makes playing one of the hardest games of at least this generation look like a walk in the park.
Playing Dark Moon for half of my lunch was the highlight of my 12 hour day at work. I didn’t expect to like the game nearly as much as I do. They say repetition will set in, but I’m a big musou fan.
