Already own V^6 and this shouldn't make me want a 3DS, but it is.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Ikachan was coming to DSi? I never even knew.

It was announced earlier this year. In Nintendo Power I think.

 

[sfried]

SOLD!

Dammit, where's Mighty Flip Champs? Cannot wait...

 

[To Far Away Times]

VVVVVV is an amazing game and everyone should play it. Will buy again.

Obligitory VVVVVV music dump:

Positive Force

Passion for Exploring

Potential for Anyting

 

[NEO0MJ]

Well that's a nice surprise. But knowing these guys, we probably won't get it for another 2 years or so!

As long as it runs perfectly in 3D, or even 2D. Was so angry with Bit Trip Saga.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Will they also include the PPPPPPowerup! remix/arrange version of the soundtrack as an option? I'm guessing no.

This is actually a good sign for the 3DS. If smaller indie games like this are actually going to the service and not fleeing (like WiiWare) then it could garner some good support

But it's a port of an almost two year old (although fantastic) game. It's hardly the same as indies making 3DS games from the ground up.

 

[PKrockin]

I'm buying as long as it's priced reasonably.

There are already indie games being made for the 3DS, also it is still an accomplishment. You don't see it being ported to the Wii or DSi do you?

I dunno if you guys have seen this yet but @nicalis has announced they ported VVVVVV to 3ds! blog.nicalis.com

The extra awesome aspect of this is much like Isaac, VVVVVV was also flash based. Who wants me to start talking to @nicalis about isaac 3ds?

Now that would be cool.

Much like VVVVVV I'd rather see the game be worked on to not be Flash based first.

 

[markot]

Love to see more indie/quality games on 3ds shop ^_^!

Definately double dipps.

 

[The Hermit]

Awesome, can't wait to play this..



























in 2013.

 

[Snuggles]

A little OT, but do you know what would be amazing? Terraria portable. My life would be over.

 

[Fernando Rocker]

FUCK YEAH!

 

[electroshockwave]

Much like VVVVVV I'd rather see the game be worked on to not be Flash based first.

VVVVVV was updated to run on C++ and got a bunch of extra content recently, wasn't it?

 

[abstract alien]

I don't even like the game much at all from what I've played on pc, but I like the premise. I'll still support it.

 

[HadesGigas]

More screens:

That would be super awesome.

 

[jiggles]

Can't wait to fuck my 3DS against the wall 25 minutes into a no death run.

 

[Yuripaw]

You guys got the wrong impression about me...I've already played and beaten this game on PC. There is no reason I would ever ever ever want this on 3DS, because I hate handheld gaming. Why play on a tiny screen, when I can play on a big screen? VVVVVV is definitely not a game I'd care to have on the go. Tetris, Lumines...those are games that work good on the go. That can be played for 90 seconds, and dropped.

 

[Professor Beef]

Looking at that last screenshot, I now know why the game is called VVVVVV. It's all their names.

 

[Truth101]

What?

Yes, earlier this year.

 

[The Technomancer]

That's one reason. I've also taken it to symbolically represent the omnipresent spikes.

 

[Snuggles]

It's also the pattern that Captain V moves in since he 'flips' from ceiling to floor instead of jumping over obstacles.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Antipole. It's more actiony than VVVVVV, but yeah it's pretty good.

It's also on Xbox Indies and PC.

http://www.saturninegames.com/site/antipole

Excellent

 

[Truth101]

Why is the top screen the same size as the bottom?

Is it coming to the eshop via DSiware or as an actual 3DS game?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

killer app! Now give us WWWWWW.

 

[jiggles]

What?

Maybe that was too local a colloquialism. Fuck in this context = throw.

 

[A Twisty Fluken]

i wanted this exact thing in my head

will buy the shit out of this fantastic game

 

[GSR]

I just played VVVVVV for the first time over the summer, but it's good enough that I'll double dip. Besides, when it comes out I can use it as a way to celebrate my 3rd anniversary with the game.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Very nice news. Will definitely buy again. I wonder if it'll have the level creator (a feature added to the C++ version). It'd be amazing to create levels with the touch screen, and even more amazing if we can share levels somehow.

Why is the top screen the same size as the bottom?

Is it coming to the eshop via DSiware or as an actual 3DS game?

I was wondering the same thing. I wouldn't care either way what it comes to. DSi = I can get it on my XL.

the blog post says it's in 3d. guessing that since it was designed as 4:3 nonscrolling there wasn't really an option to widen the playfield

 

[jman2050]

And La-Mulana still isn't on Wii Ware :/

It has been for months in Japan. Dunno what's taking so long everywhere else?

I feel worse for Japan, they're not getting Cave Story WiiWare/DSiWare at all. Pixel can't even buy his own game. [/boggle]

Nigoro's official stance on this right now is "blame Europe".

More specifically, there were some shenanigans involving the rating boards over there that has and presumably is still holding up the release outside of Japan.

 

[Adam Prime]

Wow that is really awesome! More people need to play this game, I'd love to see a PSN/XBLA/Vita sequel!

Well this is unusual..port-begging for a game you already own.

 

[abstract alien]

I always thought it was called vvvvv because the name looked like spikes...

 

[PKrockin]

Yep. Besides, it says eShop and the screens match the 3DS's resolution.

 

[Hours Left]

Cool, I want La-Mulana first though.

 

[Emitan]

How would the European release hold up the NA one?

 

[Why would you do that?]

Ah yeah, I forgot I read the 3D part.

But yes, what you say makes sense. The upper screens have black borders on the left/right. As a result, it looks like the entire screenshot has a black border around it.

 

[Yuripaw]

Well this is unusual..port-begging for a game you already own.

ACHIEVEMENTS!! lol, I like being social and comparing achievements with friends. Most people I know will never know what VVVVVV is because most are not PC gamers, and sure as hell don't own a 3DS. I wanna tell more people to get it and play it. Easier sell on XB360/PS3

 

[blamite]

Awesome game, awesomer soundtrack. I'll definitely double dip on this one. I'd probably buy it for every platform it's ported to, actually. :lol

 

[Salsa]

MAKE IT SO

 

[perfectchaos007]

Finally another 3DS eShop game. There is only 1 game on the service at this point, I want moar!

 

[Ydahs]

Awesome, will buy.

Hope it's profitable too, since it might encourage more indie devs to jump on board.

 

[Snuggles]

this brings me one step closer to taking the plunge on a 3DS

If anything, this screenshot just tells me that I wish the game was at the very least on DSiware, and not 3ds. The game isn't even 16x9, so the top screen will have those black borders on the sides. Not to mentioned when I've played the 3DS, i found the screens way too small, especially after having a DSi XL.
