Was expecting more from some of these games. I haven't read Nintendo Power in a while, have they been tilting in the EDGE direction scorewise?

If anyone has the issue can you tell me why harvest Moon scored lower on the 3DS version than the DS version. I want to know if it is a bad port.


Has the issue even come out yet?

Yeah one could certainly imagine that there's nothing actually wrong with the game, but they docked it for simply offering nothing significantly special over the NDS game.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Rune Factory is getting localised?

Or was that an import review?

Was the game that good?

It is out, or at least subscribers should get it soon. Its not a bad port, its just that they're basically the same game. Graphics are higher resolution and in widescreen, and the 3D is just there, because it had to be.

Its going to be released on PS3 and Wii October 11th.
So it is not a import review.

Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny is good-looking and vibrant, with interesting characters, a compelling plot and voice acting that's pretty solid.

They're way more serious now in the review sections than they were 5 or 6 years ago that's for sure.
