They best get Harvest Moon done and give it to Natsume so they can spend 10 years localizing it already it. I want it nowww.Sammy Samusu said:

Yup. Why play on a big TV with an arcade stick when I could play "on the go"?
Pokemon is fun on the go. Tetris is fun on the go. Hell, even Zelda is fun on the go. Street Fighter does not work on the go.
Yet, I'm still picking it up cause this awful launch has nothing better to offer >_>

Super Street Fighter IV has a Metacritic score of 92, the recent Professor Layton got 86, Super Monkeyball has ranged from 81 to 56, DOA 4 got 85, Nintendogs got 83, Pro Evo tends to run from 80's to 90's...the lineup has some fairly solid games and franchises in it.

Have you actually played Street Fighter "on the go"? If not, how would you know it doesn't work on the go? I can't think of a single reason why any game wouldn't be playable or fun just because the controller and screen are part of the same unit. For example, you talk about a "big TV" - the size of the screen doesn't matter if it's just a foot or less away from your face. And arcade stick? That's a very small niche audience, 90% of the people playing fighting games are playing with the controller that came with their game system.Anth0ny said:
I could tell you pokemon is not fun at all, but I won't. People like it, good for them.Anth0ny said:
I already like Street Fighter on my iPhone, and on 3DS it will be oh so much better than that. Good for me.
Besides I always prefered playing Street Fighter with a SNES pad over an arcade stick. Must be because I played 500 hours of SF2 on my console and 5 hours max in the arcades.

It always puzzled me, what takes so long to localize Harvest Moon games? They seem to be a decently easy task considering the lack of any voice acting. Isn't it just a matter of translating text? Yet it takes them forever.Truth101 said:

Having a killer adventure game is what draws me to a new console launch. Even with the DS we had Mario 64 DS, which despite its shortcomings was still pretty fun and a lengthy game. Plus we had the Metroid Hunters demo, which was a neat novelty. With this system what is my adventure game? Pilotwings and Steel Diver seem like cool side attractions but not meaty enough to keep me glued to the system for days.

Maybe Lego Star Wars? Or Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, it's supposed to be a 30 hour game. (thinking launch "window" here...)evilromero said:

Rayman would be great but I'm US. But Nintendo dropped the ball by not having something for launch. Hell, it could haven't been another port/upgrade like Mario Sunshine 3D.WonkersTHEWatilla said:

My heart skipped a beat. Mario Sunshine on 3DS would be heavenly, even if it was just a port.
A hint of what a Sunshine 3D could look like maybe (3D enconded footage of MS run on emulator I believe): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwoqq5Sx0bU

I would kill for Mario Sunshine on 3DS, I liked that game a lot better than the Galaxies. And not a lot of modern gamers have played Mario Sumshine, as it wasn't on the most popular console of its time, so it wouldn't be that bad of a business decision on Nintendo's part.WonkersTHEWatilla said:

Pilotwings isn't even available for pre-order in bestbuy/gamestop/amazon in canada. Goes to show how it's most likely not a launch game.

As good as the game maybe, it's still a port of an year+ old game that most gamers have already played to death.
A rerelease of an port isn't something I would hold up as the premier launch title for the 3DS.
If this was Marvel vs Capcom 3DS, then I could get behind it.
It's a damn shame that neither Layton nor Pilot Wings will be ready for the US launch.

I don't understand the hatred of console ports. Porting a very popular, highly-rated AAA game that's never been portable to the 3DS, with graphics very close to the original console, and gameplay identical to the console? Yes, that's a premier title.Stephen Colbert said:
We don't have a list of launch titles for the US yet. Yet we do have a brand new full trailer for Pilot Wings made for the US, which is indicative of the game being ready soon.Stephen Colbert said:

The disinterest stems from the fact that I have zero desire to rebuy and replay a game that I've already owned for well over an year and am bored to death with.
A port of a new game that's simultanously launching on multiple systems would be fine. But a port of an year old played out game isn't something that I can get excited about. I don't think I'm alone on this either.

I preorded a 3DS a couple months back and should be getting one on Saturday.
I went down to the local Wonder Goo this weekend and they had some units on display. I had to line up to actually try it out and I was a little underwhelmed by the 3DS effect. The graphics were pretty clean (Street Fighter game), but it didn't wow me as much I expected it would. Still, I was happy to see that the 3D effect isn't always the pop-up book-like effect (title screens and character select for Street Fighter were like that but the rest seemed different).
I am not sure what game I will get on Saturday. Maybe, I'll try the Layton game.
