No word on NA getting this though.

Well in a survey earlier this year Japanese people did say that the 3DS was over priced.

Another awesome show guys, I wanted to add to the 3DS advertising. Ever since after E3 I have seen one numerous sites (for example on Kotaku and the History Channel's website) ad banners where Nintendo is advertising the eShop and it is a pretty cool ad if I say so myself. It starts off by an icon (i.e. Excite Bike 3D) and then it zooms out and more icons are shown (other eShop games) and then it zooms out even more to reveal DSiware games. It's a cool ad, just hope there will more 3DS owners (especially now with the price drop) so that the eShop can become a viable platform.

I played the Genesis version of Aladdin and that was a good game. Too bad it's on the VirtualConsole.

I vote for Battalion Wars, even though the driving mechanics in that game was broken!

It was at $223 when I clicked on the link, but that is awesome deal. I would buy it if I didn't already have it.

Nintendo does not have to have it, but as long as it's there for 3rd parties to use then its cool. They shouldn't cripple the 3rd parties as they are the bread and butter when you a dry spell on your system *cough* like the Wii's current state *cough*

TalkBack / Re: Ridge Racer 3D Review

« on: July 31, 2011, 02:33:49 PM »

I'll be honest at the outset: I've never played a Ridge Racer game for more than five minutes before this game. I'm hazy on the history of the series outside of murmurs of the Nintendo 64 and DS versions, and the hilarity of the reveal of the PSP one. After spending time with Namco Bandai's latest entry in the series for Nintendo's new handheld, I feel as though I may have missed out on a cool series, as Ridge Racer 3D is a rather excellent mix of arcade and sim racing with tons of content and stellar stereoscopic 3D visuals.

I am in the same exact boat, I just picked up a copy last week and I can't put it down. I am having so much fun with it. Good game to have at launch.

Thank you Nintendo for the 20 free games, and thanks for the price drop as we all know that is needed.

It's good that Nintendo is seeing the fact that 3DS is a slow starter and they needed to launch at $170, but they didn't and now they are doing a price cut before PS Vita comes out. Good thing I will be getting some free games since I paid $250 for mine.

I am pretty sure it has to do with the sluggish sales of the 3DS.

Thanks for the suggestion about Garnet Lee's podcast, I didn't know he was a former 1Uper. I am going give it a try as I am still looking for a replacement for Player One Podcast once they go off air after episode 250.

I usually buy new because the "newer" games I want that are "used" at CERTAIN used-game stores are a mere $5 cheaper than a new copy.

Sounds like Cabbages Etc.

I saw that yesterday and I think you hit that spot on. I am sure we will see all that and then some more in the Wii U's lifecycle.

General Gaming / Re: PS4 - Officially Under Development (2014 release?)

« on: July 10, 2011, 11:20:24 PM »

Honestly I feel the PS3 has like 3 if not 4 more years in it left. Now I am not just saying that because I just bought a PS3 like a month ago.  I think late 2014 or 2015 would be a good time for it. PS3 is an awesome system, though I am late to the game (which I wasn't for the PS2, as I got that system in early 2002, before I got the GameCube).  I am interested in how Sony will top the PS3.

I just hope this is true. I would love to play XenoBlade and the Last Story. Right now my PS3 is getting all the attention until I pick up Golden Eye 007 and Skyward Sword (when it comes out).

I am glad to hear that I am no alone in thinking inFAMOUS is a good game, just too damn repetitive. I have to beat that game, but just go tired of it a moved on to Uncharted then to Prince of Persia (yes I am new owner of a PS3 so I am playing through a huge back catalog of awesome games), and next up is Batman Arkham Asylum.

Ah it would be so cool if Nintendo bought the Perfect Dark license from MS, and gave that to Retro to make a new game. Because we all know Rare is just a empty shell making kanict games nowadays.
