Posted February 13, 2013 Release date for Animal Crossing would seem reasonable. Although to be honest I want Iwata to say 'WiiU be my Valentine?' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2013 I wonder what kind of apology will be made this time. Perhaps something along the lines of 'sorry for asking a minute of your time on Valentine's Day'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Unless they announce platform agnostic purchases via an account system, or at least the ability to buy discounted versions if you already own one, like with the Wii/Wii U, then frankly, no, not really. Especially with GBA games going to the Wii U. They need to sort out the basics before I'm parting with my cash. Also will the SNES's different resolution modes not impact games on the 3DS? I know games never relied on the high res mode for gameplay but some did for their menus and text. Since I'm guessing they aren't vector sprites/images, won't fiddling around with them just make them a mess? Outside of the high-res mode (which only around 5 games ever used - the only real notable examples being Secret of Mana's status menu, Seiken Densetsu 3's character select screen and RPM Racing's gameplay), the SNES' vertical resolution is identical to the 3DS', so games will look perfect on the 3DS screen The 3DS' resolution is enough for every pre-Dreamcast console (outside of the rare few outlying games that used high res modes) Edited February 13, 2013 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 13, 2013 It was thinking of SoM that made me bring it up - I wasn't sure how many others actually used it mind. I wonder if they might include an option to just have it stretch across the two screens when high-res mode is active in the emulator... The left and right sides would be cut off slightly, but there would be enough vertical resolution to fully display the image at least! Otherwise, they'd just have to squash it. Not a big deal really since it's only used in extremely rare circumstances. 99% of games would display perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a big deal really since it's only used in extremely rare circumstances. 99% of games would display perfectly. Given it's apparent rarity, I think they'd just not appear full stop like Super FX games on the Wii VC. Stretching it across both screens would look a bit messy and very anti Nintendo in design. Plus, the VC menu screen is always active on the bottom screen and then they'd have to do a work around for that too. Sounds like more effort than it's worth to me if they can't easily squash it. Still, it's not like us over here were ever going to get to play SD3 anyway (legitimately and in English... which does remind me...) so no real harm done.

Posted February 13, 2013 Hopefully a date for animal crossing, and a casual dating of pikmin 3 whilst they're doing it. I can wish, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2013 All I want Is animal crossing release date if they don't I will have lost all faith it will ever come out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2013 No kidding! Shibata must be reading my posts on here Well, we did call him "da man"! Otherwise, they'd just have to squash it. Not a big deal really since it's only used in extremely rare circumstances. 99% of games would display perfectly. And, as you say, Virtual Console games are individually emulated, so the few games using this high-res mode could be adjusted. Would be well worth it to have SNES games on there. Anyway, here's what I'm hoping to see: 1) Localisations for Dragon Quest VII, Etrian Odyssey IV and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. 2) Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (a video or more screenshots). 3) Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons and the full range of 1st-party SNES and GBA games on the Virtual Console. 4) Another eShop game by WayForward. 5) Majora's Mask 3D. 6) A 2D Metroid (Metroid V). 7) Zelda 3DS. (Is Nintendo at GDC next month? If they're not, we might well see Zelda, although obviously I won't put my hopes on it.) ... I've kept it modest for now. Will keep the really big lists for E3.

Posted February 13, 2013 Talk about short notice. Here's hoping something worthwhile gets announced. The dream would be a 2D Metroid for the 3DS. Or, a 3D Metroid ala Other M. Oh God... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 13, 2013 We must be getting the Euro release date for Animal Crossing tomorrow, right?! I bloody well hope so anyway. Fixed date for HarmoKnight would be cool too.

Posted February 14, 2013 Unless they announce 3DS Miiverse or something else "Big" then I don't see the point.... where's the Wii U ND that would show off what 3rd parties have in store so we can all stop worrying about the apparent lack of games being made You know there's no 3rd party Wii U games right?! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2013 Just give us the Animal Crossing release date, Nintendo, and I'll be happy (although your suggestion of a purple 3DS would be nice too - I'd make the upgrade to XL for that!) Hopefully we'll get a nice demo of something after the event too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2013 So some pics have leaked from Nintendo's youtube channel (vids that were set to private but now removed) and the games shown were: Luigi's Mansion Fire Emblem Lego City Undercover Animal Crossing http://nintendoeverything.com/113153/these-games-will-be-featured-on-tomorrows-nintendo-direct/ There may be more, but perhaps best not get too hopeful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
