It was Software Development Design (SDD). The same team that did Brain-Age, Band Bros., English Training, and all the Wii Channels.

If the new system adds nothing to the game, sure. I would have thought a portable version of that game that can be played anywhere would be a good enough reason for a lot of people though - it certainly is for me.

Ahh cheers. Thanks for jogging my (somewhat senile) memory!

I doubt that it's NST working on it. Surely we would've heard about it by now if that were the case?
They didn't exactly keep quiet about their involvement with Ridge Racer 64 (and it's DS port). Also they would surely be able to squeeze better visuals out of the 3DS than what we've seen. Graphics are one thing they really excel at! (MPHunters is still one of the best looking DS games afterall!)
Without the loading times the game would be quite cool. It was one of the few games I played that ran at 60fpsAmir0x said:
oh and ONM tweeted this:
I bit the bullet since it was also the cheapest 3DS game available(and racers usually offer a lot of content compared to other genres during launches).

So if Spanish uses were wondering why they have to book by phone call...
this is the reason.
Basically, 8media dropped the ball on their security and someone helped themselves to the database (I can't remember what data protection laws have to say about this and don't know what laws exist in Spain). Also the event is over 16s over there...?

Ridge racer 3DS probably has tons of events so 8% could mean anything right now.

Everything I've read said Ridge Racer runs at a solid 60, and more than one person has said it has the best 3D effect so far.Father_Brain said:

? More info on this please, don't think I have heard that too often. The loading maybe horrible and the car models sub-World Driver Championship, but this could redeem the game somewhat.Dreamwriter said:

If you've got time, plan to do something else while you're there (I always think its silly to go to a place but spend more time traveling to the place than I actually did at the place). When I went to Manchester last week I looked round a few museums...and the shopping district.Oxx said:

I'll be at the bristol event for the 10 am slot too. Are there 'slots' so to speak? I know they're doing 10am-10pm or something. Anyway I'll be there bright and early. someone should rock a neogaf t shirt or bring a sign! Believe!

Was the game that most impressed me at the event so it's the only launch title in the UK that I'm pre-ordering.
3D looked good, environments and areas were big and the graphics are on par with the home console versions. Hopefully I don't miss all the DW characters too much - I've never gone full Samurai before.

I've gotta ask, Ami, why are you buying a 3DS at launch?
I don't mean that in a confrontational way, I'm just curious.
If none of the launch games really appeal to you, nor the AR games, nor the 3D camera, nor 3D gaming in general... I mean, why bother?

Because it's not going to come down in price between now and whenever the first games he does actually want come out, so why not? Day 1 new hardware is always exciting even without the games.civilstrife said:

Just got back from Bristol. Took my massive man bag with me, no issues. Wasn't allowed to take photos with the 3DS on, but turned off was all good. Also got interviewed by Nintendo.tv and said I wanted OVER 9000 games.
The 3D effect was far better than I expected. Really, really good. Street Fighter IV was absolutely amazing IMO, as were the others.
What impressed me most was the AR games, SSFIV, Resident Evil and the Paper Mario trailer, which was mindblowing.
Most dissapointing? Zelda. Looks incredible, it's an amazing game - but the 3D effect in the Deku Tree was hard to focus on. Maybe I was tired - but it didn't happen with any other games. Some games also required a bit of tweaking with the 3D depth slider, but that's absolutely no issue at all - it still all looks fantastic.
Slidepad is superb too.
Wrestlemania said:
Probably not but it's safer to buy a 3DS later (just in case there are hardware issues), they will most probably be better bundle deals, the games that are already out would get cheaper. I personally will wait 1-2 years (until 3DS Lite comes out), none of the games annouinced so far excite me at all.

I've just left the Bristol event... I got there at about five to ten and on my first go around played: resident evil mercenaries, pro evo, riiiiidge racer, dead or alive, face raiders, AR games, and monkey ball. Obviously not playing Zelda and pilot wings would have been criminal so I went for a pint and some food and then went back for another go.
Were any of you wearing a green 1up t shirt and matching mushroom cap?
I'll post lots of pics and impressions when I get back to Bath.
If you were interviewed (rich) you may see yourself on the nintendo channel in 2-3 weeks. The guys doing the filming were from Future / NGamer and doing some video for nintendo.. I was there with a future staffer myself (works on gamesmaster mag)
Had a great day. If you're in the area they seem to be letting the public in btw. Only so many at a time though.

I'm posting my impressions here as well (since i posted on the other thread about the third party titles).
Was in an event earlier on.
(very brief) Impressions:
SFIV: Seemed like a very professional port, though I'm not a fighter gamer. 3D was kind of impressive in dynamic view.
R.E. ME: Some of the effects and character models were impressive, but I found the game a a chore. 3D was not that much of a story
PES: It was very impressive as all of the players in the field were "popping" out from the rest of the environment. Technically it seems like an upscaled port of previous gen PES. It played like a faster, smoother and graphically enhanced version of the last PSP/Wii games. But the viewpoint was locked (behind the player) and this is not how you play PES.
Pilotwings: one of the more impressive games. I had trouble adjusting my view to the 3D effect. In the end i "got it" and it looked GREAT. My only concern is content, it was too familiar because of the location and if it only features the "usual" challenges I won't get an impulse to buy it.
Nintendogs: very, very impressive. One of the best implementations of the 3D effect. I think this is because your eyes only have to focus on the cat and dog, the rest of the environment is very plain and does not get in the way. The dog and cat were ADORABLE and the 3D was eye popping. I almost want to get it now, despite having a dog and having played Nintendogs for so many hours in the past.
Ocarina of Time: The 3D was confusing and it was less impressive as a game from what I thought it would be. Still, it's an adventure I would gladly played again, and I think it will be great to replay on 3DS.
Steel Diver: interesting, but only the periscope mode was available so it almost felt like a mini game
DOA: didn't get the chance to play, but I think it looked very impressive graphically, almost a showcase.
Face Raiders/ AR games: very impressive tech demos and I think they featured the best implementation of the new tech. Mapping your face and seeing it grimacing on the screen in 3D and flying around the environment was hilarious and impressive at the same time. The AR game had a lot of quality and did well to advertise the AR capabilities of the DS
Kid Icarus: very impressive use of 3D and a blast to play, except from the confusing on ground controls. The graphics were very good but the game seemed to feature lower geometry than other 3DS games. My brain felt a little confused after playing with it.
3DS: Very solidly built, it oozes quality from an engineering perspective. I found the design screaming expensive but unremarkable. I think the black model is too... flat, while at least you get some personality with the blue color. It seems like an amazing little piece of hardware, but the 3D is a double edge sword, it's very impressive but it demands a specific positioning (which is very uncomfortable when the game features motion controls), while it obliterates the second screen. The 3D is so attention-demanding and it's so much different from 2D that you may forget that you're having a second screen underneath it (that happened with Steel Diver - I was almost annoyed that I had to look at the second screen from time to time).
All in all, I think 3DS XL will be the ideal version of this. I'll probably get around Easter, when the shop gets activated.

It's something I've been saying since E3.
The AR games are going to be the big system seller.
Especially when developers get into including AR modes into every game.

Still, I like the little History of Nintendo Handhelds thing. Should have used regular GBA, like the used DS Phat.
