    Nintendo 3DS

    in General Discussion

    nintendo had previously confirmed that certain games will get 3D updates, and two games they confirmed in that respect were Super Mario Land and Link's Awakening

    Actually, no, they never said that. They only confirmed that those game would be coming to the VC, but not that they would be remastered in 3D. I don't know where people got that idea. It says clearly in the shop whether a game is 3D or not.

    So obviously this is completely fake, but it's just meant to give an idea of what a Wii2 Game could look like:

    I guess Samus has some sort of cloak on.

    EDIT: a little off topic, but I just wanted to post this:

    Say what you will about Nintendo, but at least when they release a game, it's actually a finished game.

    Think what you like, I'll be over here enjoying Metroid Other M, Mario Galaxy 2, Steel Diver, Pilotwings Resort, DKCR, NSMBWii, Zelda TP, Punch-Out, Pokemon B/W, Super Paper Mario, Excite Truck, Wario Land Shake It, Professor Layton, Mario Galaxy, Wii Music, Smash Bros. Brawl,Mario VS Donkey Kong 3, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Prime Hunters, Zelda Spirit Tracks, tetris DS, Mario and Luigi, Wario Ware DIY, Picross 3D, Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Wii Sports Resort and NSMB DS.

    Games that came out a while ago for a system are still playable on that system, you know.

    In an age of 2 or more Terabites as standard harddrive space, there's no worry of running out of space for downloaded games. Just yesterday morning, my ISP went down for several hours. There's a few hours of no streaming games, and if there's a larger problem with the internet there goes your gaming.

    I like downloadable games, because they're cheap and small. I would never pay $50 for a downloadable game when I could get a physical disk that won't be gone in 3 years, a nice box to display, and a manual full of pretty artwork. I'm rarely more offended than when I buy a game and it comes with a Black and White text-only manual. I think The Coop and I are on the same page here.

    There's absolutely no insurance with a streaming game. What if the company has to shut down for whatever reason? What if you have to move to or visit some backwater town with no internet? Downloadable games are better, but you still risk losing it all if your hard-drive gets wiped(It could be even worse if your online account is linked to your system ID, like with the Wii and I assume the PS3 and 360.). But I still have all my NES, GameCube, SNES, etc. games and they'll keep working for as long as I maintain them and their systems.

    If you have no interest in Nintendo games, why are you in this thread?

    I'm really excited for this new console. As much as I defend the "Gameplay over Graphics" argument, I still really want to see Zelda and Metroid with graphics better than the PS3.

    I hope it will also allow you to transfer WiiWare games over like the 3DS.

    Newest episode it out.

    Gonna have to say I disagree. Sure, maybe in the states streaming video games sounds like a good idea, but here in Canada, we're struggling on a law that will cap internet usage and charge extra if you go over. The average limit is around 60GB, but that would surely be lowered. Consider how big the average PS3 game is.

    Also, Canada pays nearly twice as much for internet as the states does:

    I'm sure other members here who also live in the 'great white north' can agree with me on this. Really, claiming that streaming video games is the way of the future is extremely selfish and inconsiderate to people who can't afford high speed internet, or who don't want it.

    Personally, we pay about $25 per month for 7.6 mbps with a 70GB cap. What are the prices in the states?
