so apparently the 3D Galaga/tilt-controlled Pac-Man (BLORF) is going to include Pac-Man CE (not DX, sadly) and Galaga Dimensions on the cart too! someone please force them to include a wireless (or even netplayable!) Pac-Man Vs so I can buy this goddamn game for the last time ever.

Geez, Steel Diver isn't going to be out here until May - *snoozes*.
Is this what it's like being an early adopter? What a fule I am! Oh well - I still love my Nintendogs, and have now streetpassed TWO people (must have got one at Euston station yesterday).

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. Passed NINE people this evening, but as I checked them, showed my friend, then carried on my way, turns out I have lost ALL those Miis as heroes for streetpass. You need to use them as heroes IMMEDIATELY apparently.(http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/997614-3ds/58735134).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH THIS SUX. I didn't know this and now they're all gooooooone, ARGH.

i don't like turn-based strategy games, but "winner winner chicken dinner" sounds fantastic.

Cave Story 3DS video footage released and in sharp contrast to the screenshots it doesn't look like a bag of smashed assholes (although of course the 2D pixel art will forever be the king)

there's no fucking games!i bought it, fucked around with it for a few days, got a lot of wow that's neat comments and it's been in the charger for maybe three weeks.compared with my ipad which might as well be handcuffed to me; i woke up at four this morning with a jolt and realized i fell asleep with it next to me and had just knocked it off the bed

i have a weird eye thing and i can't totally do the 3d all the time, but the visual/sound/size upgrade over the 1st-gen ds i bought myself for CHRISTMAS 2004 is still worth it - i'm actually getting way more mileage out of the AR shit than i ever thought i would (viz. showing it to non-gamer coworkers, friends etc)

other suggestions?

- Puzzle Quest (at least the first one, haven't played 2) owns so hard on the iPad, it's actually my preferred version- Carcassonne has a universal version and owns. there are a bunch of good board games for the iPad (although bizarrely Catan is not one of them); check out anything Reiner Knizia did for a good starting point- I like the iPad versions of SimCity and Civ Rev a whole bunch; the extra real estate is totally worth it

yeah ive played around w/ this & really like it. also the monopoly is p good #_#

moar
- if you jailbreak you can get snes4iphone and use your Wiimote to play- WESNOTH HD OWNS if you like srpgs- Chinatown Wars is way better on the iPad than on the phone although not as good as on DS- Dominion HD is a really good Risk clone w/ online multiplayer and everything

the update's here!
- free Excitebike 3D- free Pokemansdex in 3D- free system transfer thing- no Link's Awakening GFY NINTENDO- three bucks for the inferior Mario Land- also some DSiWare game called PicDun which is apparently a RPG/Picross hybrid? intersting

there's pretty much one good game a month coming out for the next while, though
- OoT 3DS this month- Pac-Man/Galaga Dimensions next month- Devil Survivor 3DS the month after that- Shinobi 3DS the month after that- Mario 3DS & the infuriatingly-not-demoed-at-E3 Paper Mario 3DS later this year

I got a streetpass hit the first time I had it out and about. Battery life collapsed leaving it in sleep mode with wifi on so I've always left it switched off when not using it since.

It's hard to appreciate how amazing it feels to play Ocarina of Time with modern graphics and controls (gear interface) until you're rolling around those fields on your own. All cynicism about remakes and lack of original content was just totally depleted within ten minutes. And it really looks really good. So good I'm giddy about sightseeing every regular Hyrule hang-out.

re: OoT, I had always regarded it as the first shot across the bow of Actual Gaming - e.g. the trailblazer for never-ending side-quests padding the length of the game/infuriating "helpers" bothering you every four seconds with instructions/items you use once and then never again - but playing it again now I have to say it's refreshing how little it holds your hand. I mean, Navi gonna Navi but it's not nearly as irritating as it used to be now that other games have pushed that paradigm to the nth degree.
the 3D really is amazing too. MEGADITTOES for the gyroscopic aiming - from now on, whenever I want to show people why they want a 3DS that's what I'm using.
― XBOX BING GOATSE (jamescobo), Saturday, 25 June 2011 01:13 (twelve years ago) link
also Donkey Kong 94 is GREAT
nearing the end of my first ever playthrough of OoTwas a bit sceptical of its rep to begin with, but am fully won over nowthe 3D & gyro aiming really work as well!

That is incredible. I hope this isn't going to be a trend in the industry. I guess they are trying to combat the used games market, but if I'm paying £40 for a game (or whatever the price is on 3DS), I would expect to be able to replay it as many times as I like.
