Ok, some ultra brief impressions of korg M01D:

• sounds superb (I don't know how good the original's sounbank was, but this one is really good)
• does midi export (haven't tried it yet, but it's in the main menu)
• does some form of online tune exchange - upload and download, but by the time I looked nothing was available for download.
• does the traditional local wifi exchange
• does the kaosspad

Other than that it's quite a minimalistic recreation of the M01D (from what I've read online about the original - never seen one in person). My overall impression it is a tad overpriced for what it does. In this regard DS10 is a far more complex product, and comes at the same price, IIRC.

Toki Tori HD is a REALLY good puzzle game

anyone who doesn't buy this for $2 is a bad person

Word. And anyone who doesn't buy Toki Tori 2+ after playing Toki Tori (or doesn't own it any already) is even worse.

Care to tell us a bit more ? How does it compare to its predecessor on DS more precisely ? What's missing, what's new ?

(Not an expert) Seems to be missing the cable patching screen.

or this screen with all the knobs.

or this screen where you play various patterns.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Ok no seriously. Where's the November thread?

 

[JoeM86]

Ok no seriously. Where's the November thread?

Indeed. Was looking for it for when the press release comes in a couple of hours

[ShellyDeKiller]

PICROSS E3!! FINALLY!!

That Splinter Cell price-cut! O_O That should've been its launch price.

 

[L~A]

Pretty meh week for me, but cool to see Mega Man X-2 and Picross e3.

That Splinter Cell price-cut! O_O That should've been its launch price.

Indeed. And it's been like that on Uplay for a few days, I believe.

 

[TheZjman]

I doubt we do, but do we have a confirmed price for 3D World yet?

I assume £49.99?

That's what the eShop says atm, yeah

 

[Jucksalbe]

Mega Man X2! Wonderful! This makes up for the empty last week.

 

[Robin64]

Aww yeah, Mega Man X2! The last in the series of good Mega Man X games.

 

[TheZjman]

That's what the eShop says atm, yeah

I really want to go digital but that's just such a mark up. Furry sleeve pre-order from GAME it is then!

 

[Deleted member 125677]

X2 - Well shit, I'll take that.


Where the hell is Brazil and the November thread?

 

[Nilaul]

The new batch of Club Nintendo games are up, fyi.

Im taking this is not in UK? dam

 

[L~A]

Im taking this is not in UK? dam

Yup, there's no such rewards on the EU Club Nintendo. Only NoA has some game as rewards.

 

[Tenki]

This week in Europe

Picross e3 (€5.00/£4.50)

Finally

 

[The Mana Legend]

YES! Mega Man X2 motherfuckers (assuming the US gets it, which is almost always the case)! Mega Man is my favorite franchise, but I am not familiar at all with MMX2 and X3, so I am excited.

And I thought I wouldn't have something to play on Wii U until 3D World.

[Qurupeke]

Mega Man X2 (€7.99/£5.49)

I need to start the X series...

 

[D-e-f-]

X2 - Well shit, I'll take that.

I PM'd him.

 

[Chrom]

brazil come back

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Nope, we still have points for the Wii and DSi stores. Fucking pathetic. Not a bad week for the eShop overall, but the 3DS Virtual Console continues to suck without abandon.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Mega Man X2 in Europe? Hopefully comes to States as well.

And escapeVektor is really good guys. Pick it up at that price!

30 bucks is a bit too much to test waters. But... hell, I pull the trigger. Thank you much.

 

[zroid]

November's a shitty month anyway. We're better off without a November thread.

 

[kunonabi]

Aww yeah, Mega Man X2! The last in the series of good Mega Man X games.

so true although i can tolerate x3.

 

[Roto13]

X3 is the best Mega Man X game but it's ok that you guys get confused sometimes.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Aww yeah, Mega Man X2! The last in the series of good Mega Man X games.

I don't know how I missed this, but to clarify things

Spoiler

X4 and X5 are better and more replayable than X2 and X3

Korg DS-10 and Korg M01D are different products - both excellent.

DS-10 is a synth, with a limited pattern based sequencer. Steeper learning curve/infinite control over the sound.

M01D is a sequencer with lots of classic sounds, more tracks and patterns, but with limited synth tools. Simpler to learn/limited control over specific sounds.

M10D is an excellent app for beginners who would like to use a sequencer or a nice-workflow for more experienced users, with export to midi.

So the exact same Mega Man 2 vs Mega Man 3 debacle exists for the X series?

 

[rjc571]

No because X1 and X4 are clearly superior to X2 and X3 by miles and miles.

Not sure how recent this is or if anyone else noticed, but I see that they added Super Mario Bros. 3 to the Future Releases section on the NA 3DS eShop and it now has its own page. Same goes for Mario Party.

 

[L~A]

Well, there's already a page for Bravely Default in Europe (44.99€, yup : /), so I'm not sure how many weeks ago they games to the Nintendo eShop. Maybe it's a sign it's coming soon? What with the Direct tomorrow, they could announce it again... Maybe.

It's coming on December 6th. Was that in doubt?

Just two mins ago, I looked at the amazon pre-oder page again. click

 

[Conrad Link]

I honestly don't know what version of Mario 3 I would get if they decided to put both of them up at once.

Come on Nintendo do us a deal (somehow). >_<

Actually I have Wii points still to use so I would prolly get the Wii one and upgrade to Wii U..... but a portable take away from home version would be nice to have again too.

On the topic of Mario, why the heck haven't we seen Yoshi's Island on Wii U? I know we barely get anything let-a-lone cool new stuff but it was such a huge release they didn't get out on Wii, could be a big deal release for Wii U. Can they seriously still not figure out how to emulate the FX chip yet or something?

Even if they had it figured out, it would make way more sense to hold off on it until Yoshi's New Island releases on 3DS next year in the Year of Yoshi (Yarn Yoshi gotta be coming next year, too).

 

[Roto13]

Salez

This week a sale on Zelda VC games. Then a Mega Man sale next week, then Mario, then Donkey Kong. Neat. Will probably buy Mario World.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Bravely Default demo is finally out in EU. 1876 blocks.

 

[Zonic]

Holy crap, Nintendo actually TELLING us of deals before hand?!

I'd be amazed if Mega Man II for GB hit eShop next week to go with the sale, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Nice I gotta grab Zelda 1, I hope they put ALttP up tomorrow on WiiU and Mario 3 up on WiiU during the Mario sale even tho I just have to pay the upgrade from Wii

Maybe this means they'll have new VC releases in those series to go along with those sales? Maybe? Still waiting for A Link to the Past, Super Mario Bros 3, and any of the Donkey Kong Country games.

 

[rekameohs]

Judging by the DKC series removal from Wii, we'll never see those released.

 

[The Main Event]

Jet Rocket II has been available on the eShop after the Direct. Has there been any impressions?

Edit: Found the thread, nevermind.

Thanks for the explanation. I swear I don't know why I get this stuff despite not knowing how to make any music.

 

[Adam Prime]

What happened to those game boy mega man games cap com was supposed to release? Any word on those?
