If he was.

Then of course! What made you believe I wasn't 

I'm not sure if throwing the 3DS under the rug is a good idea. They're spending a lot of money on it, with tons of new games coming, new colors coming soon and they putting some actual effort on the eShop later this year. I don't think 3rd parties would love it either.

Unless you mean the new GameBoy would co-exist with the 3DS as a cheaper alternative, which is okay but I'm not sure how that would turn out.

So I should be playing Return to Dream Land by now, but then I remember I live in a 3rd world country so no Kirby until our local retailers decide is okay to bring it (usually one or two weeks)

On the other hand, we got Gears 3 the same day as everyone else and there was even a night sale, which was attended by tons of kids (and their parents, and their money).

@Trevor: soon there'll be nearly 1000 different Pokémon. At this point they just can't go Skylanders on the series. By the way, what a rip-off of a game I'd get the 3DS version if it didn't need those expensive toys.

I loved SML as a kid, but it's been years and I'd need to replay it. It's one of the cases where I can't remember whether I loved the game or I just loved its music. Maybe I'll go do it right now and post again.

I played it recently when the eShop launched, it's still fun to me

EDIT: and with this post I become Level 10

I love Super Mario Land. It's pretty much the weird cousin of SMB, with better music and some shmup levels. It's short, though.

3DS will be okay, I think.

I can't wait for the next E3, though, because I really want to know what they want to do with the Wii U's launch. They simply can't afford to launch another expensive piece of hardware with a weak launch line up.

^ Nintendo was unusually absent from the launch to "let 3rd parties shine". And then, 3rd parties did nothing but lazy ports.

@C.A. Sinclair: That wheel is being made by Hori, though.

Sucks for Japanese companies   Apparently Toyota is being more affected by the Yen than by the earthquake.

Oh well.

Super Mario 3D Land will have "3D options":



Basically, choose between Mario being close to the camera an popping out from the screen, or far and deep.

Ugh, it's not the first time I see a nice looking XBLA game that I can't play because I don't own a 360. But no, 10-15 XBLA games won't sell me an Xbox 360. Why can't these games be released on PC as well?

^ StreetPass was not built for people outside Japan, really.

From Destructoid's review of Return to Dream Land:

With its impeccable balance of difficulty, satisfyingly simple level design, and insurmountable overload of squishy charm, Return to Dream Land provides a platform experience that comes as close to perfect as one can get...Videogames simply do not get any more pure than Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

They gave it a 10 (and Mass Attack got a 9). I really want to play this, I know it's not going to be innovative or revolutionary, but it's probably very fun. And really, Mass Attack was just released, Kirby has earned his right to star in a traditional Kirby game.

Also, take a look at these unused styles for Return to Dream Land. The first one looks awesome, the second one looks like the 3D Kirby we still don't have.

This upcoming eShop game, Mighty Switch Force (from WayForward) is looking okay:



First impressions and screens.

Really brief trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGlj2VjcoZI

"Hiko-osu" is a completely nonsense name, though. "Pushmo" hints at the game mechanic. I think it is an improvement.

When does Pushmo come out? I googled a bit and just kept finding news articles about that Reggie video.

Hiku-osu means push-pull I think. If I recall correctly it's coming in December for 6 dollars.

Pushmo looks like my perfect kind of handheld puzzler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dZ0crVzTqLw&t=3m58s

By Intelligent Systems, no less So going to buy it. Japanese name "Hiku-osu" sounded better, though. They kept the sumo thong but not the Japanese name.

Guys, I need some PS3 recommendations (retail or PSN). My PS3 library is lacking in comparison with my other consoles right now. The thing is, shooters and cinematic games are out of the question. I love fighters, platformers and some RPGs. I love stuff like 3D Dot Game Heroes, Demon's Souls (will get Dark Souls soon), Tekken 6, Spelunker HD.

I was thingking about trying the first White Knight Chronicles even if it's apparently somewhat flawed. Explodemon from PSN looks fun. KOF XIII is getting released soon.

Well, I'm no Sonic fan but this is looking fun. Now I have to decide if I should buy it for PS3 or 3DS. 3DS is 2D levels only, which is nice, and I also need more 3DS games. It's also by Dimps, isn't it?

We have this:



I want to see what they do with the SF characters' movesets. Tekken characters have huge movesets, toning them down for SFxT seems easier than making more moves for TxSF.

- White 3DS announced
- System transfer announced

Nintendo is aggressively targetting my stupid consumist habits.
