Nintendo 3DS Discussion Thread

Notice a big ol argument about how the 3DS is a DS with 3D.

here's some comparatives that iirc show the rough power of the systems via comparison.

The DS iirc is a little more powerful than the N64, while the 3DS is comparable to a PS2 if memory serves. In fact the games should come pretty close to PS2 games in size and quality.

Argument? No arguments here.

Its starting soon. Hopefully,but not likely, we get a surprise Zelda announcement. Only thing missing for me right now.

Any new game announced would be for Japan only and is very likely not to be released over sea.

Not true, Inazuma Collection is likely gonna be used to get 3 over here, and a new Layton's getting revealed as we speak. So there is likely gonna be something surprising. BTW, Layton's looking, and sounding no less, **** amazing.
Edit: Paper Mario Sticker Star is looking to be profoundly ridiculous. I don't like the look of the goal bit though....perhaps Super Paper Mario with RPG battles? If so, then I'm cautiously optimistic.
Edit2:GAMEFREAK ORIGINAL! Completely off the rocker, but looks to be amazing. Love the gameplay.

I so want Harmo Knight! This is what I like. Them showing games that come out in just a few months. Not showing us games that won't come out for years Thats right Layton vs Wright I'm talking about you!

No game is Japan only due to a word called Importing

Now saying it would only be in Japanese makes more sense.

^ And the small matter of region locking, right? =p

All aboard the rhythm game craze it seems, now. Wonder what sort of songs would be used in that Pokemon cameo level?

Which is expensive and can't be done since the 3DS is region locked, but what you pretty much knew what I was saying anyway.

Trainer Battle got used, and the Zekrom Reshiram in the backround perhaps suggest a use of their VS themes. Also love the Samba Shy Guys in Paper Mario.

Good for them, eh I am not that bothered about the 3DS being region lock since the PSP and Vita is still region free and the games that I want get release for them.

Well its not like importing anyway is a lot of money. I get mine for 40-60 bucks.

But for the poor people they can just wait jk


but back on track. Mario SS and Harmo Knight both look fun. Not sure about Soul Hackers though. Excited for the final Layton game too

[blaze boy]

Here is the game play footage of Game Freak new IP Harmo Knight and I have to say that I like it, here hoping that it gets release here in the west.

But I have every faith that it will.

Ugh tell me about it but it's worth it in the end . ^_^

HarmonKnight looks really interesting, I would imagine it'll probably release outside of Japan as well.

And we finally got some more AC news, being able to change when shops open is very useful.

[ForeverFlame]

No Zelda, but damn is that new GameFreak game awesome looking. It's like that one level in Rayman Legends, but an entire game. And it's on the eShop so it will be less than 10 dollars. INSTA-BUY.

Also, another Layton game. And it will be the "last" (I believe they said that in the past).

All in all, it wasn't too amazing, but it was definitely worth it.

[bobandbill]

Friend described the Game Freak game as a sorta Bit Trip Runner-esque game. Seems that way, although with some more cartoon violence (always fun =p) and change in angles.

Wonder what other stuff comes up in it too given it is Game Freak. Pulseman cameo stage could be neat.

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

Could someone explain the new GameFreak game to me please?

You run through the level as music plays collecting items or hitting objects/enemies which adds to the music and of course your score.

Yeah I would imagine that it will get release out side of Japan since it is a Game Freak game so the name alone should help it sell.

Also Harmo Knight is Game Freak first 3DS game.

Man I am getting excited for Animal Crossing, I am going to play the hell out of it when I get it.

No Zelda,

I would imagine that if a new Zelda game is to be unveiled it would be a worldwide announcement.

I had DoReMi Fantasy: Milon no Dokidoki Daibouken in my mind when I first saw it.

Pulseman cameo stage could be neat.

I second this, Pulseman is awesome.

Just click on the link that I posted which shows the game play of the game.
