WayForward never disappoints!

abstract alien · Dec 16, 2011

This just made the year worth something.

MooMoo · Dec 16, 2011

eShop is on a roll! (Still need to buy Pushmo :S)

dallow_bg · Dec 16, 2011

They just made it.

Yagharek · Dec 16, 2011

Confirmed for Aus is awesome as we still dont have Mighty Milky Way.

Best eShop game of 2011. (Although that could change Thursday.)

But this looks pretty good.

Poyunch · Dec 16, 2011

Simultaneous release? I didn't know Nintendo eShop supported such a feature.

Luigiv · Dec 16, 2011

Australia? :O

Nice, I don't have to switch regions this time. Will buy from the Aussie shop to help them pay for that OFLC rating.

Seven Force · Dec 16, 2011

Awesome, so it'll come before the end of the year after all.

Galactic Fork · Dec 16, 2011

Hey Way Forward, also put up a demo of the first level or tutorial or something. That would make me love you forever.

It's won't be truly simultaneous, all the regions need to upload the game individually, it's just that all regions will do so on the same date which is hardly any feat.

Australia and Europe should get it at about the same time but the US release will be several hours behind due to the time difference.

Erethian · Dec 16, 2011

Last trailer looked real good, and the game seems like it's going to have some great music too.

NintendoWorldReport got a sample of one of the tracks.

Of course. Jake's music never disappoints.

GhaleonQ · Dec 16, 2011

But...But...I already made my year-end list! And a certain other game may or may not be on it!

WayForward, you spoil me.

@MUWANdo · Dec 16, 2011

Tweet seems to have disappeared. Maybe that US date isn't confirmed after all.

Any idea on the price? Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

nincompoop · Dec 16, 2011

This should help ease the sting of the GBA ambassador games being cancelled in the US

Freezie KO · Dec 16, 2011

Action or Metroidvania? The people need to know.

Action. There are 16 stages, each containing a certain amount of open-endedness, but it's not a metroidvania by any stretch. Bozon said they were aiming for something in the vein of Mega Man 2 or Journey to Silius - a game that you can blow through from start to finish in a couple of hours after some practice, but still has plenty of replay value.

Caesar III · Dec 16, 2011

Damn, great! So many games on 3DS right now

Also of note: It's developed by the same team that did Contra IV, which isn't the team that did the first two Mighty games. At least, if I recall the initial Nintendo Power preview correctly.

@MUWANdo · Dec 16, 2011

They alternate, I think - Bozon's team did Flip Champs, Adam Tierney's team did Milky Way, then Bozon's team again for the new game.

Sinthetic · Dec 16, 2011

Will this be £7.20 or £10.50, that is the question.

Apdiddy · Dec 16, 2011

Between this, Pushmo, SM3D Land, Mario Kart 7 & the GBA VC games, 2011 for 3DS is actually good this year.

Unless the game is an utter disappointment...WayForward hasn't let me down yet so it probably won't be

electroplankton · Dec 16, 2011

The track is pure awesomeness! Nice to hear about the release date, just in time for my last exam!

@MUWANdo · Dec 16, 2011

Some hands-on writeups:

http://www.gamexplain.com/article-6...ing-with-blocks-has-rarely-been-this-fun.html

DToid says it'll be "quite a bit under the $10 mark". The two DSiWare games are 800 Points, Mighty Flip Champs is $6 on PSN, IIRC... how much is Shantae iOS?

Nice info mate, perhaps it will be around the same price as Pushmo then.

-WindYoshi- · Dec 16, 2011

Awesome! I'll be buying MSF and Pushmo on the same day!

M3d10n · Dec 16, 2011

Damn, my CC is down since someone hijacked it and I haven't received my new one yet. Well, the GBA ambassador games will do until then.

Pushmo needs to be bought like LAST week. It will keep you busy for the entire week before MSF. Do it now.

Criminal Upper · Dec 16, 2011

Will buy

won't be picking this up most probably

The Technomancer · Dec 16, 2011

Damn, I really hope I get a 3DS for Christmas. My first two purchases will be Super Mario 3D Land and a points card for this and Pushmo

cws · Dec 17, 2011

So the game will only costs 5,99$/6

http://mobile.twitter.com/WayForwardTech

Great price especially compared to some if their DSi offering. eShop is finally picking up.

AceBandage · Dec 17, 2011

So glad this is hitting this year.
This game looks so good.

watershed · Dec 17, 2011

I'm really happy about the $6 price. Looks to be well worth it. I was a little put off by the talk of Mutant Mudds being around $10 or even $12, that seems like too much.

Can't believe this will be so cheap. I'm all for it. I saw Cut The Rope on the eShop for something close to what MSF is going to sell at! >.>

Perhaps Mutant Mudds may end up following suit and going down the medium price bracket route.

Man God · Dec 17, 2011

If Shantae was that long and 12 dollars I expect this game to be about five minutes long.

BurntPork · Dec 17, 2011

Am I actually going to buy a shop card for a Nintendo system?

Yes, yes I am.

VideoMan · Dec 17, 2011

This is part of the 'Mighty" series, so it will probably be as long as Mighty Flip Champs and Mighty Milky Way. They were around 3 hours long so that's what I'm expecting this to be.

sfried · Dec 17, 2011

$6 bucks? Not $5? Not $8? Guess eShop has more flexible pricing options.

dwu8991 · Dec 17, 2011

$8 in australia WTF?, nah will probably be $12 here!

Instabuy... as with all WayForward games.
They are unequivocally the BEST thing going on eShop.
