Christ this game is hard to play with the Circle Pad Pro and the stand at the same time. Can't get a good grib on the machine and keep it steady on the stand. But otherwise the game is surprisingly fun, ground combat feels much more responsive and interesting then I had ever expected it to be.
What the crap. I just bought this off amazon and already redeemed my 3D classic thing. FFFFFFFF

It can hit 60fps, but often it dips. Multiplayer can especially suffer when everyone is in the same place and effects are flying around like crazy. It's never horrible, though.
Did you try opening it from the proper side?

Just got the game and already finished chapter 1 and 2 now!
I'm surprised how different the weapons really feel.

Yeap, as I normally do. But I couldn't make the strip of paper slide. Don't know why, in both RE: Revelations and One Piece I opened the card boxes without any problem.

I don't know if this was posted, but GameTrailers reviewed it.
Yupp, box was thight packed! I managed to get everything out without damage...but was SO close to cut it apart.
that opening lid is totally trolling the buyers. "ooohhhhh, you want that game, huh? Try, try hard! Come at me, bro!!"
"street fighter 2 titel theme"
Hehehe, at least is not only my box that hated me. I was afraid to rip it apart, so I opened it from the bottom.
Nah man, there were other gaffers with the same problem earlier in this thread.
Your from EU or US? 'cause it seems to be only in the europe version. As far as i can tell
I'm from Europe, which confirms the theory.
Not sure if this is helpful or not, but for anyone picking it up at Gamestop this morning, if you're a PUR member you should check the PowerUp website to see if you have enough points to redeem for a _ _% off coupon. I barely shop at GS, so I completely forgot about it until this morning, but as I was going through my wallet I then remembered you could do such a thing. I even happened to have enough points to get $10 off from any purchase (sans DLC, I believe). Not as good as BB's offer, but not bad considering you're guaranteed the 3D classics if you pre-ordered it at GS.
Just throwing it out there.

Yeah I haven't noticed any frame drops at all, even when it's throwing everything at you.
Seriously. Thinking of just saying screw it, I've already downloaded my 3D classic and just return my Amazon version.

This.
Also, I think this is the first Nintendo game in a loooong time that I've really just fallen in love with. I'm pretty damn used to the controls at this point, so it doesn't bother me in the least. The music, visual style, quirky dialogue and throw backs to the 8-bit era are seriously rubbing me the right way.
I seriously love this game and I'm only on chapter 8. Glad I finally have a reason to play my 3DS (Mario and Monster Hunter just don't do it for me).

just watched a review and man somehow i cannot get excited for this hmm...
it just looks a little like a poor man's Panzer Dragoon Orta to me, getting awesome reviews all over the place though so maybe i should give it a shot.

Played about an hour and half of of it so far and absolutely loving it! The art direction, the writing (I've giggled to myself a couple of times), THE MUSIC! and it clearly brimming with content. I'm in love!
As for the controls, I'm getting used to them. I sort of rest the 3DS in the palm of my right hand so the left isn't holding it all up.
Played an online match. Very hectic but very fun. I didn't notice any lag or slow down. I can see me wasting many a hour on it!

I didn't get her either, but I got Pit, Magnus and Dark Pit all in the same package, so I'm not complaining.
45 minutesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Doesn't she come in the free Club Nintendo set, anyway?

Are you guys really quitting 3D Classics out of frustration? That game is awesome and yes I remember it being hard as a kid but I did beat it
now to play it again and see the level of my lost skills
and I thought Nintendo had her listed as Rare but everyone seemed to get her card in the box
I find out later

Of course it doesn't, almost no websites publish 60FPS videos in the first place. The only site I'm aware of who do encode and publish 60FPS footage of games is gamersyde and they don't seem to have any Kid Icarus footage. To work out a games framerate, playing it in person is in most cases the only way to tell.
Edit: Actually Eurogamer uploads 60FPS video too when they can. Going by this video it does look like 30fps.
I believe there are multiple versions of some cards, so the ones that "everyone" seem to be getting might not be the "rare" cards.

How are the on foot controls?
They're fine once you get use to them. Everyone seems to have a different adjustment period though. Took me 5 minutes to get use to them When I played it February last year but from what I'm hearing, I may be an exception.

so do they unlock different things or the same thing? same idol?
Tolerable, not great. I don't have a circlepad though, if that affects anything.
not sure... guessing it's a different idol, and the animation might be unique too.

Just played till my batteries died.
The game sure gets progressively harder, chapter 4 on difficulty 4 really forced me to actually start using skills to get through it. Certain enemies can be tricky as hell.
These foot controls also don't seem that bad to me at all. And this coming from a person
who has never been that good at 3D games to begin with.

I found Autorecticle extremely useful, some enemies are very difficult to deal with in on-foot because dodging and aiming at the same time can be quite
a task, being able to auto-target for a few seconds can really destroy certain enemies.

The tributes to:

I hope the game has more jokes like that.
snes star fox level, the metroid space pirates and nintendogs
