yep, just like Mario 64DS was. Funny how this is the second gen of handhelds from Nintendo that will try to sell the system with an N64 title.

It's not funny, it's sad.

 

[WillyFive]

It's not funny, it's sad.

Seeing how N64 games were totally mangled by the DS hardware, it would be nice to try on hardware that can give them justice.

 

[cw_sasuke]

It's not funny, it's sad.

Yes...soooooo sad.

 

[Why would you do that?]

It's not funny, it's sad.

Considering many of my favorite games ever were largely on the N64, I'm pretty happy.

Next generation = Waverace 64 4DS and 1080 64 4DS.

 

[durrrrrrrrrr]

I don't understand why otherwise reasonable people seem so interested in buying Ridge Racer, again. How many times can Scamco sell you the exact same game before you stop.

if they sold me R4 again i would buy it, the others not so much

 

[onken]

That is such an insanely awesome line-up it's not even funny. Still waiting for the revision though, I reckon. These games will all be dirt cheap by then.

What a nice list

You quoted that entire pile of images just to add that?

 

[Lettuce]

Is there any implemention of an achievement point system for the 3DS

 

[Why would you do that?]

You quoted that entire pile of images just to add that?

I usually agree, but in this instance, it's nice to have the images for the new page. You know, since I'm too lazy to go to the first page.

 

[storafötter]

Yeah. I'm hoping against hope that Namco will take this an opportunity to release Tales of the Abyss in Europe for the first time.

Not that they will...

Yeah the game deserves to be played by Europeans (i live in Europe too), I luckily got to play through it myself. I am willing to buy the port as its a solid game (despite backtracking).

People like you are why I hate browsing GAF on my phone.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Wait, TotA was never released in Europe? That's sad...

However, I have some hope for TotA 3D to make it in the West. 1, Tales of Eternia's port was released on the PSP in Europe (but not in America because of Sony). 2, launch window opportunity. 3, Namco said they want to sell much more of their Japanese games in the West. They can't do that if they don't release their games here.

People like you are why I hate browsing GAF on my phone.

I hate browsing GAF on my phone, too. Now I know it's all my fault.

Spoiler

lol

Come to think of it, my phone's Internet is so slow, it's faster to view quoted info than to go to another page. That's kinda sad...

 

[BowieZ]

My probable pick-ups in order of interest:

Super Mario 3DS
Paper Mario 3DS
Mario Kart 3DS
Ocarina of Time 3D
nintendogs + cats
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Steel Diver
Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition (depending on price of 3DS)
Rayman Origins (probably a downloadable episodic title?)

DS titles - backward compatibility - in order of interest:

Mario Kart DS
Professor Layton and Pandora's Box
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Professor Layton and the Lost Future
Professor Layton and the Flute of Malevolent Destiny
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
New Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Super Mario 64 DS

All in all, with most of these games averaging about AU$65, that would be about $1600 including the 3DS to keep me going for a couple years.

FUCK.

 

[60_gig_PS3]

those are some nice looking games there

 

[RPGCrazied]

I'm hoping "Tales of" gets translated.

I wouldn't count on it. Is that Paper Mario I see? Or is it a new game?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Pretty weak launch. RR3D is all I want.

I have all images turned off on my phone anyway, mobile Opera is quite a fast little browser with all the fluff turned off.

 

[boyshine]

My vote for most improved since first reveal definitely goes to Ridge Racer 3D.

The first screens made it look like a slightly enhanced DS-port, now it actually looks good.

 

[Celine]

Pretty weak launch. RR3D is all I want.

It's not that weak if you consider past japanese launch lineup for handhelds.

PSP:
* Armored Core: Formula Front (From Software)
* Mahjong Fight Club (Konami)
* Minna no Golf Portable (SCE)
* Lumines (Bandai)* Ridge Racers (Namco)
* Vampire Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (Capcom)

DS:
* Daigasso! Band Brothers (Nintendo)
* Chokkan Hitofude (Polarium) (Nintendo)
* Cool104 Joker & Setline (Aruze)
* Kimi no Tame Nara Shineru (Sega)
* Kensyūi "Dokuta Tendo" (Spike)
* Mahjong Taikai (Koei)
* Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits (Namco)
* Pokémon Dash (Nintendo)
* Super Mario 64 DS (Nintendo)
* The Urbz: Sims in the City (Electronic Arts)
* WarioWare: Touched! (Nintendo)
* Zoo Keeper (Success)

GBA was a pretty big deal, though.

List from old GameSpot article:

Nintendo first-party games

Kuru Kuru Kururin
Napoleon
F-Zero Advance
Super Mario Advance

Third-party games

Advance GTA
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Chu Chu Rocket
Dodge Ball Fighters
Dungeondice Monsters
EZ-Talk
Fire Pro Wrestling
Golf Master: JGT
I Am An Air Traffic Controller
J-League Pocket
Momotaro Matsuri
Monster Guardians
Mr. Driller 2
Pinobee
Power Pro-Kun Pocket Baseball 3
Rockman EXE
Silent Hill
Top Gear GT Championship
Tweety's and the Magical Jewel
Wai Wai Racing Adventure
Winning Post

A good 10 of those never showed up on the sales charts, though, as my Garaph search for GBA launch releases only brought 15 results.

 

[Granger Danger]

Only interested in Paper Mario, because the first two (Super was a hate crime so I'm pretending it never existed) are pretty much the greatest RPGs of all time. So this is going to make it quite easy to just wait for the 3DS Lite or whatever they will call the second iteration and scoop it up then.

 

[Luigison]

You can find the complete list here: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/software/

-----------------------------------------------------------LAUNCH GAMES + SPRING GAMES (February to May)-----------------------------------------------------------

My first thought was, Portal?

 

[EatChildren]

GBA was a pretty big deal, though.

List from old GameSpot article:

All that list did is remind me that this generation of Nintendo systems is still without an F-Zero.

 

[king zell]

so what happened to this?

Chocobo Racing 3D

 

[VOOK]

Ridge Racer certainly could look better, the Car's look pretty arse but the game runs smooth and is fun to play.

 

[MidnightScott]

All that list did is remind me that this generation of Nintendo systems is still without an F-Zero.

Oh god I hope they don't take the 64 version and port it to 3DS. Just make a new fucking game instead of ports...

WTF Chocobo uses cards like in those stupid games on DS? c.c

 

[Spiegel]

RR does look better now but it's still missing things like the reflections when the car passes through the tunnel. That was one nice detail I loved from the psp games.

 

[Wizpig]

My first thought was, Portal?

My second one was "Super Meat Boy meets Portal?"

Oh god I hope they don't take the 64 version and port it to 3DS. Just make a new fucking game instead of ports...

This.

 

[Jetku]

from the other thread:

The 1st month Launch line-up for 3ds is up! 24 games, from what I can find seems to be one of the largest(in terms of numbers) one month out launch line-ups in Japan.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/software/spring2011.html

Although Looking through the list of what was changed, besides the baseball games, Steel Diver(thanks to Nintendo publishing) and perhapses Naruto/Gundam can't imagine any of this stuff actually selling in Japan.

Many games now seem to have a March date in Japan. And Rabbids has a full retail price point.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Zelda, Pilotwings, Nintendogs, Animal Crossing.

This shit is going to destroy the universe.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

So many good games! Nintendo ain't fooling around.

Seems like other dev's also know this machine is gonna be a hit and hops on the succes train.

 

[345triangle]

i'll get street fighter, ridge racer and winning eleven on launch day, which is a pretty solid meat-and-potatoes selection. certainly better than the original DS, when i got mario 64, warioware and project rub...

PSP in europe had an amazing launch line-up, though, with ridge racer, lumines, virtua tennis, wipeout, metal gear acid, everybody's golf etc on day one. 3DS doesn't beat that, though by the time it gets round to launching in europe maybe it will? it'll be the first time i've been in japan for an actual system launch, i'm not used to being bleeding edge.
