3DS Games discussion/Collecting thread

[Flint]

So after trading in a bunch of crap today at Game i got a 3DS on impulse. Got £15 eshop credit in the bundle and have no idea what to get with it? Any ideas?

I haven't played it yet but VVVVV is got some good reviews...stupid name though.

Theres a 2 level demo for VVVVVV on the net somewhere if you want to try it first, its worth a go. Its released in the UK this thursday but im only buying if the price is right. Game seems fun but apparently is REALLY short and it makes zero use of the internal hardware.

Piling on what others said, Pullblox is great. 35 hrs in and I havent finished it! Dillons Rolling Western is great too, though a bit more expensive at 9 quid.

Eurogamer's VVVVVV review. And the cost is £7.20.

I have no interest in the cards as they don't really do anything in the game, but playability of this title is astonishing. I have put 70 hours into it already and I had to make myself stop playing it as I was neglecting everything else - including other games I had bought in the meantime.

Having put it away, I am now enjoyin Resident Evil Revelations. It had a bit of a Rage-like start (ie it was generic and censored) but like id's games it really takes off after the first couple of hours. My only issue is the tough as nails boss at the end of the first chapter - his one hit kill was very annoying. I got him ater four attempts - here's hoping there are no more difficulty spikes like that as it a very enjoyable game otherwise.

Glad they're releasing an album too. Somewhere to put my free ones AND no doubt have some kick ass art on the front (Here's hoping).

On the subject of the cards, the ones I ordered from NOE still havent arrived. :/ My Game&Watch was ordered afterwards and that's been with me for a week now...

New Castlevania 3DS game expected to be announced.

UPDATE: Konami kind of 100% confirms 2D 3DS Castlevania game, and the name is slightly different.

UPDATE 2: N1ntendo.nl was contacted by Konami and asked to remove the story. Additionally, the site discovered links to domain registrations from Konami revealing the title to be Castlevania: Mirror of Fate instead of Castlevania: Mirror of Faith. The domain, which is not active, resolves to the same server as the site of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

Check below for our original story.

UPDATE: A Konami representative says "we don't comment on rumor or speculation."

A new 3DS Castlevania game titled "Mirror of Faith" is rumored to be shown at E3 2012.

Although not much is known about the game right now, the game is supposedly being worked on by David Cox and Enric Alvarez, who were involved with the recent Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for the HD consoles. The news came from the appointment schedule sent out by Konami for E3.

A new CV game is good news, especially if it is a 2D game (hopefully with nice sprites and not 3D polygon models like the Dracula X PSP remake). I'm not sure about the LoS team working on it though, while IGA's handheld CV games were pretty samey in places Order of Eclessia was probably the strongest CV game since SOTN in my opinion. I'll be very interested to see how this one turns out.

Good news for me. I love a good portable Castlevania!

Is it bad that I'm STILL playing Pilotwings Resort? Every time I pick up my 3DS I seem to settle on it.

[ALK]

I've yet to pick up Pilotwings, even though my retail 3DS collection has reached around 17 games...

[Morkin]

So, Mario Tennis is out on Friday which I hope to get from GAME. Anyone else getting it?

[adippm82]

I would like a demo of it first, get a feel for how it plays, has got a slightly mixed bag of reviews so far.

[Roo]

Just decided to use a whole load of ShopTo credit and get Mario Tennis Open early for just over £21. It would be good if we could organise a few games (tournaments, if that's an in-game option) amongst us...

Once again, my 3DS Friend Code is 0903-2725-2010 - if you'd like a few games of this soon, let me know, add my code and I'll add you back!
