Nintendo 3DS - Best Handheld Today

I wasn’t particularly interested in Kid Icarus until the videos in this thread. Now I’m definitely going to play it.

[details=Spoiler]EDGE review score - 8 out of 10

  • On-rails segments are lustrous
  • Weapon upgrades are described as a mix between Zelda and Star Fox
  • Game would look great on any platform
  • Soundtrack, rich color palette, inventive third-person combat, and detailed character models are praised
  • Dungeons are complex
  • Combat is punishing
  • Depth/accessibility, not much is compromised
  • Reviewer likes how the loadouts encourage experimentation
  • Although the controls are initially “lopsided”, they work very well for on-rails segments
  • Blends influences easily[/details]
    Also, Famitsu gave it a 40/40. Not really sure if that means anything, but I happen to enjoy pretty much every other game they scored perfectly.

YOOOOOOOOOOOO hold up multiplayer actually has depth and isn’t shoehorned in?

You didn’t see that vid when I posted it during the day the Nintendo Direct was going on?

The Last Kid Icarus anime they put on the nintendo video channel with Medusa was pretty awesome. Didn’t know that Cree Summer was doing the voice of Medusa.

Rumors of a possible Epic Mickey 2 spinoff hitting 3DS are coming from a Nintendo mag in france.

There’s supposed to be some type of presentations next week?

Yyyyeah…I think that rumor is probably somewhat legit considering that GTTV is going to be at Junction Point studios this week with a full blowout on 'some game’

odd looking game in (in a good way). looks like a cross between pilot wing and tetris attack.

Fire Emblem: Awakening - Japanese Introduction Traielr

I really should attempt to finish the first GBA fire emblem again…I really don’t want to abuse Hector though since he’s already fully leveled up.

Dead Space iOS is probably the best game on ipad and if Iron Monkey can pull it off on that then I’d love to see what they can do with the 3ds.

Metacritic consensus seems to be GDLKE game with ass controls, you move with left stick, look/aim with stylus…and shoot with R trigger? that sounds horrible hope you can change controls in the menu.

Ugh. That just sounds impossible to do.

No, you shoot with the L trigger… If you move with the left stick, you shoot with L. If you move with the face buttons, you shoot with R.

Still, a lot of people aren’t too happy with how the controls are right now. I’m not going to judge until I play the game tomorrow.

Finally tomorrow is almost here. Receive my pre-order text message from Gamestop today about picking it up. Hey Sonic you work at GameStop, if i lost my receipt will they be able to see that I pre-ordered it since I got the text message?

yes…They should be able too. They can look you up by phone number and last name. If you have a powerup card and you used it in the process of doing the reserve they can just scan that and pull you right up…makes things way easy.

Shooting with the L button doesn’t sound bad in fact I pretty much expected it to be that way. Of course it’s not going to be comfortable after playing it for awhile for a few people. It worked pretty well for Prime Hunters. Sakurai might have actually included a dual nub option if he had actually been told about the damn thing lol.

Oh yeah forgot to mention…Theatrhythm Final Fantasy got announced for NA

Shit looks AMAZING.

Lol…They weren’t kidding when they said the menu’s look like smash.

Edit:

‘G FORCE…IN MY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCE!!!’
