retroed Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 New Super Mario Bros. 2 Will Cost £39.99 to DownloadIt's been confirmed by Nintendo UK today that New Super Mario Bros. 2 will cost £39.99 to download when it hits the eShop later this week. As Nintendo's first foray into selling full retail games via its eShop, it's understandable that they have opted to stick to the recommended retail price (RRP) to test the waters. But when Amazon UK will ship the boxed copy for only £29.97, are you happy spending an extra £10 for the convenience of not swapping game carts? On Friday you will also be able to download the more modestly priced Freakyforms Deluxe: Your Creations, Alive! for £24.99 and New Art Academy for £29.99 from the eShop. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/08/new_super_mario_bros_2_will_cost_p3999_to_download I was thinking of going digital for this, but am not paying ten quid extra for the privilege. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 it was always going to cost the retail price at least to download. It's bullshit, and it's the reason I haven't downloaded retail games on the ps3 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Nintendo tweeted a qr code to allow you to download Lego batman 2 demo, worth a punt unless you have it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Debut trailer for Shin Megami Tensei IV: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-28-shin-megami-tensei-4-debut-trailer-released The last direct line SMT game was Lucifer's Call on the PS2, if any of you played that. My sole experience of the SMT universe so far is Persona 4, a game i intend to get back to soon... I played a couple of hours of Strange Journey on the DS which seemed enjoyable enough (and probably massive) but i'd rather play Persona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I've played Lucifer's Call and Strange Journey, both of them have massive difficulty spikes I couldn't (be arsed to) get past. They're good games though, but way more hardcore than the persona games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I thought Strange Journey was a mainline SMT game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Lame. I want a new Zelda. Nintendo had a presentation recently and I'll just post up some things shown. New and last Professor Layton. This morning's Nintendo Direct presentation brought about an announcement for a new 3DS Professor Layton title, which Siliconera has translated as Professor Layton and the Legacy of the Super Civilization A. Level-5's Akihiro Hino showed off some of the title with new visuals, which seem to point to a snowy world. This new Layton title is set to arrive in 2013 in Japan. Hino also said that this title will be Layton's last adventure. Hey, now. Don't cry. Oh noes? Pokemon developer's new eShop game <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J42wiHhVYo?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J42wiHhVYo?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J42wiHhVYo?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> During this morning's Nintendo Direct presentation, a new game from Game Freak, the folks behind Pokemon, was announced. Rhythm Hunter Harmo Knight is a mix between rhythm gaming and platforming. Jumps and attacks in stages will create good harmony with correct timing, according to Andriasang. The game footage (above) shows a fun art style and some note-bashing. Right up my alley.The release is set for September 5 in Japan, priced at an inexpensive 1,800 yen (about $20). I'm not sure on the looks, but a Runner style rhythmic platformer sounds great to me... though I am wishing one day they'll make a Drill Dozer sequel. And some bonus info: New Animal Crossing hits Japan on November 8th This morning's Nintendo Direct presentation revealed the release date for the next Animal Crossing game for the 3DS. Tobidase Animal Crossing will hit shelves in Japan on November 8, priced at 4,800 yen. They promises a Nintendo Direct broadcast especially for this game closer to its release date.I'm sure that the U.S. and Europe are going to come in sometime early next year. I sometimes think about booting up the DS version and cleaning my town up and having another go at paying off my house... which of course I never will, not with Tom Crook and his loans. Is Animal Crossing still a thing to be excited about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That rhythm platformer looks cool, wonder if/when we'll see it over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I love me some Animal Crossing. I'm also looking forward to the rumours Majora's Mask, it's my favourite N64 Zelda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiofloyd Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ace Attorney 5 confirmed for 3DS: Tokyo Game Show attendees will get an early chance at playing Ace Attorney 5, as Famitsu reveals this week that the game will be playable at the event later this month. Capcom has prepared a fifteen minute demo, and will even reward those who line up with a special strap as a gift.As we reported earlier, Famitsu confirms Ace Attorney 5 as a 3DS title featuring Phoenix Wright as the main character. The magazine also introduces a mysterious girl who wears yellow. She's a key person in the game, and will be properly introduced at Tokyo Game Show. Ace Attorney 5 is set one year after the events of Ace Attorney 4 and sees Phoenix Wright return to being a lawyer. The game's first chapter involves an explosion at the courthouse. The charged is a high school girl named Shinobu. She's very week and can go into spasms at any moment. In the courtroom, Wright will face off against Winston Payne's brother. Famitsu has just three screenshots, but they hint at some new gameplay systems. Like Layton vs Ace Attorney, the game will have fully 3D characters. It appears that you'll be able to select to give certain facial expressions during testimony, as there are facial expression icons on the lower screen. Based off the reports we're reading from people who get Famitsu in advance, Shu Takumi is not fully involved with Ace Attorney 5, as he's busy on Layton vs Ace Attorney. The magazine lists Motohide Eshiro as producer, Takeshi Yamazaki as scenario director, and Noriyuki Iwadare on music. http://andriasang.com/con2kw/ace_attorney_5_tgs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroed Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Sequel to Fluidity/Hydroventure! That looks incredibly cumbersome. I can see it working fine on an iDevice, though. Give it L+R controls, and I'd be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 KOKUGA from G.Rev, it's a retail title, and who knows if/when it'll even come over here, but it's of note because it's by the creator/director of Ikaruga <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LIi5QU3SXTQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The weapon choice mechanic looks pretty interesting, can't say the rest of it had me messing myself, but if reviews are good then I might well pick it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you've probably noticed by now that the fifth Layton title has been released for 3DS, Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask. Level-5 have announced that his next adventure will be the last though, Professor Layton & The Azran Legacies. Here's a trailer for Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

DANGERMAN Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I might separate this in to its own thread when this supposed scan turns up, but Dragon Quest 7 is coming to 3DS in Japan next February. I assume that means end of next year for a UK release, which in turn means I'll get 6 finished around then, buy 7, then not get around to playing it for 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Wow that is a console seller! I'll probably get a 3DS for that. I know you can play it via emulation but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
