Posted April 17, 2014 Is this the version that got a retail release? No... Hopefully it's the actual eShop version, which uses sprites and is basically a widescreen version of the DSiWare. Cave Story 3D was good, but the small, polygon graphics caused a bit of a problem. ... It's the latter one that Grazza mentions. The sprite based one. That's the version getting released here on May 1st Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 17, 2014 Ah, right. Forgot that version existed to be honest. I thought the price was too good to be the retail one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 22, 2014 Good decision to go with £19.99. It's a small difference physically but it does make a big difference psychologically. Hope it does enough to stir up some interest... Cause seriously, this game deserves it! It's kinda surreal to see DSiWare continue to live on for this long. There's still quite a few games seeing release even now! Gotta wonder why they don't just make them native 3DS games instead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 22, 2014 That reminds me, I still have the original 1000 points from when I originally purchased my DSi... ...just goes to show what a worthwhile purchase it was at the time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 23, 2014 Bluey gave me a £20 e-shop voucher. My e-shop voucher went towards super Mario bros 3, gunman Clive, Pokemon link, harvest moon for gameboy, and the rest went towards the other streetpass games since I already had about £12 on there. Gunman Clive, I'm not very good at, but I love the graphics and the simple feel to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 28, 2014 Really not sure what to do now - either delete some games or buy a bigger SD card.

Posted April 28, 2014 Well. Don't bother buying Adventure Time: Hey Ice King Why'd You Steal our Garbage? Despite what I heard, it's not a very good game. I wanted to play a short filler game, but I expected it to last more than 4 hours. Could have beaten it in one sitting if I wanted to. Gameplay is very simple Zelda II clone without the challenge and a lot more fetch quests. The game generally feels lazy all round. Some of the sprite animations are nice but most things are just static images when it feels like it shouldn't. It fails to capture the shows humour and reuses a lot of jokes that fall flat. There's some voice work but it sounds like they recorded it off the television. The music is forgettable apart from the title screen music. There's a New Game+, but no thanks. Not worth the price it is on the eShop. And this is probably my most negative review ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2014 OK, thanks, I'll just buy a bigger SD card then. Didn't realise you could copy the data in a straightforward way - I thought there might have been a lengthy process, like transferring data from one 3DS to the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 29, 2014 I bought a 32GB card a while ago and it has proved to be more than enough space even with VC/Review/promotional games. Likewise I have a 1TB hard drive for my Wii U but I don't envisage filling that up anywhere near as quickly. But yes, extra storage space is good! : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Whoa, we get The Mysterious Murasame Castle for the first time ever on the 3DS Virtual Console this week! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! I've been waiting over a decade to play this game! (ok I'd rather have had it on the Wii U VC than the 3DS VC personally, but I'm not gonna complain - besides it has been PEGI rated for ages anyway, so it was kinda obvious that it was planned for release on 3DS first anyway) At last I'll finally get to play Zelda's "sister" game! (And just in time for me to break my duck and start delving into my 3DS/Wii U backlog, oh how wonderfully convenient for me! ) For those of you who don't remember, this is the game that Takamaru's Ninja Castle in Nintendo Land is based off), the one with this awesome music that you'll no doubt have heard from Smash Bros Brawl and other places...

Posted May 26, 2014 Such an amazing tune. :awesome: I'd so be downloading this on Thursday, if we lived in an alternate reality where Nintendo didn't make really poor decisions regarding their release schedules. Genuinely surprised there's anything going up on the eShop this week. And when I think of all those weeks gone by, with not a single decent download... Is it really that difficult for Nintendo to think about release dates from the perspective of the customers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it really that difficult for Nintendo to think about release dates from the perspective of the customers? Yeah. My thoughts exactly. Why the hell they think that releasing one game a week for the past month or so is fine and then decide to release two high profile VC games in the same week as Mario Kart 8 is beyond me Oh well, works well enough for me at least! (Clearly they were thinking of me and nobody else ) Still... Oh man I don't even know what game to start with alongside MK8 when it comes out on Friday. So many to choose from...
