It’s hard to say if the “Missions” is part of some campaign mode for Steel Diver. I’ve always liked the campaign, story modes, would be nice if Steel Diver had something like this as well.

No its based on episodes 1-6

Oh! Hmm, will have to think about this. I have the 'Complete Series' (episodes 1-6) for the PS3. Is it worth it for the 3DS as well? Depends on how much the 3D makes a difference.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

The Press Site has new images and fact sheets for both Steel Diver and Pilotwings Resort updated too.

Could you post the pics? Or the username/password so we can see the pics?

That's exactly what the mission mode is. I don't know if there's a story to accompany the missions, but it is pretty much what you're thinking.

 

[antispin]

6 games for me! Pilotwings, PES, steel diver, star wars, ridge racer, monkey ball.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

I still can't decide which game to get at launch. I guess I will wait for impressions before I decide.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Oh! Will have to buy then. Thanks!

Yeah if it was based on the shitty new animated series I wouldn't have bought it either.

Chill. Monkey Ball is nothing exceptional. It looks better than expected visually, but falls short of former entries in the series. That's what I felt from my playthrough. I am a fan of the series it pains me to say so but I feel like I have to warn other aficionados as well.

Good to hear. I think I will give it a shot. Thanks!

Yeah, but not sure if I should get now as I have the "Complete Series (episodes 1-6) for my PS3. Unless the 3D is that big of a difference.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Both. both. This wasn't part of the plan NOA. Each Nintendo subsidary needs to annoy everyone by missing things out. For instance you could have missed Pilotwings then kepts the balance. Now we have super happy America (inb4 "lol noa sucks never release stuff even release schedules") and annoyed everyone else...

I guess on the flipside Steel Diver impressions, so it can avoided at all vosts in case its terribad.

Is $40 going to be the baseline MSRP for 3DS games? This sucks.

Does this mean Gamestop will charge $45 for frist party 3DS titles. Crazy when you think it about it, thats $5 less than Wii. But in a way they're making them more expensive than regular DS which is why they've gone for it.

I'm hoping this is like MSRP £35 GBA titles...they never did drop to £25 of GB/GBC but they didn't stay that way [MSRP £35] for long...

 

[jump_button]

Any pic or vids of Rayman?

and im still hoping Pilotwings Resort got some stuff maybe not show

 

[Ushojax]

Now for fuck sake, HURRY UP AND PUT THE 3DS PREORDERS UP ALREADY VGPLUS!!!

My thoughts exactly. I've been checking their site every day in case they surreptitiously start pre-orders.

 

[BowieZ]

mario kart 3ds: red
mario kart 3ds: blue

Mario Kart™ + Cars: Chevy Cavalier & New Vehicles
Mario Kart™ + Cars: Aston Martin & New Vehicles
Mario Kart™ + Cars: Rolls-Royce & New Vehicles

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

My thoughts exactly. I've been checking their site every day in case they surreptitiously start pre-orders.

They updated the site last week with a load of 3DS games. Hopefully now that NOA have officially announced the launch day lineup they'll finally start the preorders...

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yeah, but not sure if I should get now as I have the "Complete Series (episodes 1-6) for my PS3. Unless the 3D is that big of a difference.

Well the only Lego game I have ever played was Indiana Jones, so this should be pretty good.

 

[antispin]

I read the stages get more challenging as you progress...

 

[wwm0nkey]

This is more related the UK members, but it seems like most places dropped their 3DS price down to £196.99 now.

 

[FoneBone]

Eating crow, I'd been insisting that they wouldn't release both Pilotwings and Steel Diver on day 1. So much for spacing out their releases, though...

Also, Paper Mario not until 2012?

 

[Effect]

This makes it easier to decide between SSFIV and Dead or Alive. I guess I'll pick up DoA at a later date since it won't be there on launch day. No need to preorder it now.

 

[Jikagi]

I'll buy Street Fighters at launch, but Pilotwings also looks good.
I also noticed that Paper Mario wasn't in the list for 2011.

 

[EatChildren]

Oh wow, Lego Star Wars looks amazing.

 

[FoneBone]

Yeah if it was based on the shitty new animated series I wouldn't have bought it either.

It is based on the TV series, why on earth would you think otherwise?

Gameplay of Pilot Wings and Lego Star Wars.

Both seem excellent, actually.

How is it not obvious that the Lego footage is from the console games?

 

[EVH]

Woah, that Lego StarWars game looks really great.

 

[wwm0nkey]

It is based on the TV series, why on earth would you think otherwise?

I dont know MAYBE it was when the guy said "Play though all six movies"

You know thats a bit more than a hint...

 

[Graphics Horse]

Big surprise is that Mario Kart is this year.

Not to me, I said that would be their big Christmas game.

 

[FoneBone]

I dont know MAYBE it was when the guy said "Play though all six movies"

You know thats a bit more than a hint...

No, he says "You've battled through all six movies," referring in the past tense to the previous two games

 

[EatChildren]

How is it not obvious that the Lego footage is from the console games?

Thats what I was thinking.

 

[Vanille]

God, Zelda can't come soon enough. Not planning to buy anything at launch.

Also, Paper Mario not until 2012?

That's not really a definitive list. Paper Mario could still hit in 2011, although it's extremely unlikely.

 

[Stumpokapow]

No its based on episodes 1-6

Why on earth would "Lego Star Wars III - The Clone Wars" be based on something other than the Clone Wars? Especially given that for every non-3DS platform, there's already a game out that covers episodes 1-6

 

[GregLombardi]

Not to me, I said that would be their big Christmas game.

Christmas to me will be when Ocarina of Time 3D drops.

 

[wwm0nkey]

No, he says "You've battled through all six movies," referring in the past tense to the previous two games

Crap your right I head "you battle" not "you've battled"

Here is Lego Star Wars shown being played on the Nintendo 3DS.

[Like the hat?]

Already have my pilotwings, steel diver, and nintendogs preordered. Nothing but first party titles. I'm part of the problem.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Steel Diver it is! YES!

Other Nintendo 3DS games in the works for 2011 from Nintendo include The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ 3D, Star Fox 64™ 3D, Kid Icarus™: Uprising and new installments in the Mario Kart™ series.

AND ANIMAL CROSSING! Don't make me hold someone hostage, it won't be pretty!

 

[Takao]

Mario Kart™ + Cars: Chevy Cavalier & New Vehicles
Mario Kart™ + Cars: Aston Martin & New Vehicles
Mario Kart™ + Cars: Rolls-Royce & New Vehicles

Oh man, if it were Cars as in the Pixar movie, shit would sell more fucktonnes than Mario Kart already does.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Big surprise is that Mario Kart is this year.

this and SSFIV for me i suppose. unless i have some disposable money then maybe pilotwings.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

How is it not obvious that the Lego footage is from the console games?

I agree, but it does look pretty good:

[gwarm01]

I've been wanting a new Pilot Wings game for years, so I'm sure I'll pick that up. As for the rest of the games.. this is looking like the first year of the DS all over again. Hopefully by the time the holidays get here there will be more good games coming out than anyone could ever hope to play.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

6 games for me! Pilotwings, PES, steel diver, star wars, ridge racer, monkey ball.

Spend that money!

 

[BowieZ]

Mario Kart™ + Cars: Chevy Cavalier & New Vehicles
Mario Kart™ + Cars: Aston Martin & New Vehicles
Mario Kart™ + Cars: Rolls-Royce & New Vehicles

lol I inadvertently spelled out C.A.R.

 

[Diomedeskun]

Watching the Pilotwings video makes me think about just how much I miss Sky Odyssey on the PS2. I would kill for some sky Odyssey type missions through crumbling cliffs and in sunken cities. Still, just not feeling Pilotwings, even though I had planned on getting it as my launch game. Probably going to cancel my preorder and just wait a couple of months to get my system, especially since there is a chance I will be spending some time abroad for the next year or two.

Now Starfox near launch would probably have made me change my mind.

Er, why not just keep the preorder and play Mii/AR games in the meantime, or maybe a DS game or something... if you're going to buy it this year, you might as well buy it at launch (not that shortages are that likely).

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Gameplay of Pilot Wings and Lego Star Wars.

Both seem excellent, actually.

After looking at those comments it still amazes me that some people have personal feelings toward one platform or another.

I am actually in the camp that believes shortages are very likely after people see it and word of mouth spreads.

 

[Kusagari]

Just SSFIV for me. Nothing else I want until DoA/Kid Icarus/OoT hit. Which is just fine with me. I'll still be playing Pokemon B/W.

 

[Skilletor]

What a horrible lineup.

I've got mine preordered. I guess I'll pick it up so that it's not difficult to get when I do want one.

 

[Graphics Horse]

How is it not obvious that the Lego footage is from the console games?

Beats me!
It's this standard trailer, with a 3DS stuck on the beginning and the list of platforms removed from the end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE07KXMOX4c


Edit: hmm, some scenes are redone actually, that ship blowing up at the end looks lower quality and might be 3DS based, I shall investigate further.

 

[From The Dust]

So just Rayman and maybe Ridge Racer and Pilotwings. Good thing I won't be able to get a launch 3DS :lol

 

[digita1alchemy]

So, SSFIV and Super Monkey Ball for me on Day 1. Pilotwings interests me, but I need to try it out first.

 

[Chairhome]

Yes, Pilotwings! I had planned on getting SSFIV, as well, but I might just get Pilotwings depending on my finanances at the time. Steel Diver looks pretty interesting, but only cause of the periscope thing... maybe I haven't seen enough video of it, but it doesn't seem to be as appealing as a lot of people are making it look. I'll probably have to try out the other games (hopefully at PAX!) before I decide if I want them or not. Can't wait!

 

[Forkball]

I hope you guys like playing Street Fighter for six months.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Steel Diver looks like it was a really intricate little strategy game at one point, then someone decided to nerf the whole thing.

/watches as submarine gets hit by two humongous rocks and nothing happens.
