This looks ridiculously good for a 3DS game.
I'm hoping for some "Rouge Trooper"-like action.
The new C stick will come in handy for this.

Been waiting for this game for a long time now, cant wait. Anyone know the pricing yet?
I like how a small french team can bring the game to the US but it's apparently impossible for Renegade Kid to get Moon Chronicles out in EU.
Anyway, this looks absolutely fantastic, doubly so considering the 3DS hardware, all that detail and action at 60 FPS is amazing as hell.

It's a fantastic week for 3DS users who have a combination of Money and Time.

These graphics are insane. They really squeezed every single flop out of the 3DS, didn't they?
As usual it will look ten times better on my new 3DS screen.
While the art is in general too generic I will buy it for the multiplayer alone.
It's great to see a team made up of three persons taking on such a endeavor
and they deserve some praise for it.
They could be the next Shinen.

Bah, it's one of those 60FPS or 3D.
I hate tough decisions.

To the amazement of many I actually think Metroid Prime Hunters had some of the best control in FPS history and think that our wrists have a lot more control over fine tuning with a pen than we do a fat mouse or that our thumbs have with joysticks.
That said I'm actually quite interested in this.

According to an interview with the developer, the campagin will last for about 8 hours.
This is major value for a download game, even if it looks a bit generic.
Unbelievable that the game was made by a team of three people.

... VDDev predates Shin'en.
The perception is based on the hardware it runs on that's obvious.
For example V-Rally 3 by the same dev team is still impressive to this day despite (actually because) running on GBA.
I agree, but it doesn't make a game good. Obviously until we're able to play IronFall I won't pass judgement. But just based on the trailer alone I thought it looked incredibly generic and dull. I want it to be good!
9.99€ for one mode, 19.98€ for both... that's what you call a special offer !
Reminds me how generic was Shadowgun on mobile.

Yeah, not sure why there isn't a discount for buying both.
Releasing games in NA is way easier that releasing in PAL-land and lots of EU devs end up launching their games in NA first for this very reason.
That's not to say it's hard to release in PAL-land, necessarily, but if you don't like or aren't good at dealing with all the administrative nonsense it's a real pain in the arse, and a lot of games simply can't justify or expect to recoup the cost.
I also had pretty big Shadowgun vibes of generic'ness too!

Will buy both parts. This is a game I think that'll work better with a circle pad pro than the new c-stick.
Interested in how touch screen aiming works as you would normally have only access to the left shoulder button comfortably.

Didn't know, hehehe.

The character looks so incredibly calm when he takes cover haha
Yes, I was talking merely from a technical point of view (V-Rally 3 for GBA is also a good game though).
It looks generic but also there is a distinctive lack of this kind of games on 3DS so it's a welcome addition at least.
V-Rally (GB), Wacky Races (GBC), V-Rally 3 (GBA) and C.O.P. The Recriut (NDS) are among the best looking games on the those respective Nintendo handhelds.
VDDev has a long history to push Nintendo handheld to the max.
The news here is that this is their first game to be self-published so whatever support it gets it goes (mostly) toward them and their next projects.
BTW I would like a new rally game from them using their amazing engine.

Decent price, will definitely give the single player a go. Wonder how awkward it'll be on an original 3DS though...

Nice. I have been waiting for this release since they shown the first tech demo. Looks great (although a bit generic, but fuck that), and it has a chance to become a great competitive multiplayer game. Sadly it comes when Majora's Mask launches and all my gaming budget is sadly empty for the rest of the month 
But Renegade Kid have other titles released here already
. But I guess this isn't the thread for that discussion 
Developer interview:

Ops didn't see it was already in OP.

Probably not, but here are a few points that might help explain why Renegade Kid's other games haven't yet been released in EU:
-Renegade Kid has been struggling for money as of late, so they don't really have the time or cash to spare on getting the PAL train a-rollin'. One of the big factors behind the surprise announcement and quick release of Xeodrifter was that they absolutely needed to bring in some money by the end of the year, so they put one of their other projects on hold while they bashed out something smaller. (They announced another Mutant Mudds game not too long ago; I suspect that was another project borne of necessity.)
-Mutant Mudds is far and away their most successful game, and while we don't know how well any of them sold in real terms, I get the impression that they haven't done as well as RK had expected or hoped. It also sounds like the success of Mutant Mudds was a bit of a fluke, as none of the subsequent rereleases have done nearly as well as the initial 3DS release.
-This is purely anecdotal, but I've spoken to a few 3DS eShop devs who've released in both NA/PAL regions (and in some cases, JP too) and the sales split isn't as even as you might assume--they all gave me a roughly 2:1 ratio between NA and PAL sales, and for the devs that also managed to release in Japan, the percentage split hovered over 40% for NA and JP and around 15% for PAL.
tl;dr: PAL releases are relatively costly and time-consuming, especially for non-EU devs, and don't necessarily bring in a huge return, so if a dev doesn't expect a game to sell very well and doesn't have the time or inclination to deal with the paperwork, it might simply be not worth the hassle.

I'm interested in trying it, but I won't have a n3ds until Nintendo releases the smaller one here and after having put so many hours into Gears a few years ago, I'm not so sure I can enjoy what looks to be a much clunkier, more poorly designed form of Gears. I may give it a shot down the road, but hopefully the mp community will still be alive by then.

Wait this isn't coming out on Friday in North America. What the fuck?
I thought it was. Lame. Won't be buying.

I have a lot of respect for Renegade Kid, but I just don't get how or why they are so bad at releasing stuff in Europe. Getting the ratings only take a few weeks and the extra costs really aren't that high. I can maybe understand skipping Australia, but I just don't understand how you can motivate not releasing your game in Europe, or how it can take so long. Doing a simultaneous release was kindof a pain though
