Anyone else think Mario is moving sort of slowly in 3D Land?

Seems normal for a 3D Mario game to me.

Perhaps the third dimension is... speed.

Fuck you Mii plaza thing. I don't need your games to remind me I have no friends*.




*Who own 3DSes.

troublebrewing

Well all of these trailers and such are making me feel better about owning this thing.

and yeah Houn I still have 0 Street Pass hits. I've been to Game Stop a couple times, I even saw a kid playing his Red 3DS (jelly) in Subway the otherday when I was purchasing a $5 Subway Club® and I still didn't get a Street Pass hit.

Did you see the part of the latest trailer at around 24 seconds? Seems fine to me.

Man what is the deal today?

Nicalis To Publish Terry Cavanagh’s VVVVVV on 3DS eShop

October 6th, 2011 – Nicalis, Inc., developer and publisher of independently awesome video games is VVVVVVery excited to announce a publishing agreement with Terry Cavanagh for VVVVVV on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. VVVVVV features the same amazingly retro gameplay, aesthetic and chiptune music (by Swedish musician, Magnus Pålsson), but now in 3D and on the go with your 3DS. Attendees of Indiecade in Culver City, California can play a near-complete preview VVVVVVersion for the first time on 3DS! Just find Terry Cavanagh or Tyrone Rodriguez and ask them to play!

Released in late 2010 for PC, VVVVVV is a 2D action-platformer deeply rooted in the days of 8-bit gaming with incredibly challenging gameplay and secrets. In VVVVVV, you play as Captain Viridian, who must not only save a dimension on the brink of collapse, but also find your ship’s crew–all of whose names begin with the letter V.

Now 3DS owners can experience the critically acclaimed game in 3D, anywhere. When asked for an obligatory quote, Terry Cavanagh said, “I’m VVVVVVery excited about it! This is the first time anything I’ve made has been on a console.”

VVVVVV 3DS Features:
Open-world environment with six unique levels
20 Trinkets to locate and collect
Full 3D awesomeness integrated into the retro-looking art style
- Dual screen functionality with a real-time map!
- Music by Magnus Pålsson
- New Featured Levels
- Future content updates

VVVVVV continues Nicalis’ partnerships with highly talented and super-awesome independent developers. Previously Nicalis has teamed up with Studio Pixel (Cave Story, Ikachan), Nicklas Nygren (NightSky) and NIGORO (La-Mulana). Now Terry Cavanagh’s incredible VVVVVV, too, will make the jump–er, flip–to console.

Awesome! I like Terry's quote, and I like the sound of future content. But Nicalis has been sort of notoriously slow in the past...

Also I would like to say that Nicalis's blog is one of the worst blog pages I have ever seen.

Ooooh I've only played the demo on their site so this is fantastic news! Some of the areas are real crackers. Now if Super Meat Boy would follow suit...

Unfortunately after the whole Wii fiasco, I'm not holding my breath for Super Meat Boy 3D.

anoffday

Yes! I love VVVVVV. Even though I've already beaten it on PC, I would totally buy it again to have it on my 3DS.

edit: Also, when is this 3D cave story coming out?

Looks like November 8th, unless it gets pushed back again.

VVVVVV is awesome but Nicalis never gets anything done in a reasonable amount of time like whoa.

So right in between Sonic Generations and Skyward Sword, huh.

nope, not happening. sorry daisuke.

anoffday

Yeah, bad timing. I'll still probably pick it up eventually, though.

Anyone grab Super Mario Land 2 yet?

Xenogears of Bore

I grabbed and beat it while cooking dinner tonight. Still as good and easy as ever and makes me excited as hell for Wario Land.

Kuroi Ookami

I didn't see them listed yet, so here they are, taken from Joystiq.

3DS eShop

Side Pocket (Game Boy) (G-Mode, 1 player, $2.99): 9-ball and 16-ball pool games.

DSiWare

House M.D. - Episode 3: Skull and Bones (Legacy Interactive, 1 player, $7.99/800 DSi Points): It has to be lupus this time.
Simply Minesweeper (Engine Software, 1 player, $1.99/200 DSi Points): Hey, apparently Minesweeper isn't owned by Microsoft! Neat.


So, I have a question. Now that House M.D. is moving into it's 3rd episode, does this mean the game is worth buying/playing from the beginning? is there any incentive to play it again after finishing it? How long of an "episode" is it?

Can't remember the last time I played it. Is it as short as 1 is? I beat that in like an hour and a half.

Sangheili91

Holy crap VVVVVV. I've played it to death on Steam but It's repayable like whoa so of course I'll get it and beat it a million times.

I never did get all the trinkets in the mirror mode..

maximumzero

Ugh.

maximumzero

What the fuck forums, triple post? Can you even delete posts anymore?

UncleSporky

Every time people say they triple posted I only see two of their posts. Looks like your original post is totally gone so we are only left with frustrated posts!

I see that. How frustrating indeed.

Brainiac 8

The more I see, the more excited I am about SM3DL and MK7.

Both are looking awesome. Judging by all the pictures Nintendo has released...they've gone Tanooki mad! :rotate:

Brainiac 8

Yay, look who made the cut!

Skull2185

The lady from Galaxy?

Princess Rosalina?

Brainiac 8

Yes, it's Rosalina. She was one of my favorite additions to the Mario universe.

Xenogears of Bore

She kinda is the Mario Universe...

Heh, you're right.

NOE's spanish name for her is my favorite: "Estela". Partially because it reminds me of Interstella 5555.

UncleSporky

There are also an awful lot of Blue Man Group videos on Nintendo Video.

The pieces are falling into place...

Brainiac 8

I've actually enjoyed the Blue Man Group videos...like a lot.

Not enough Tobias though.

UncleSporky

doodly






Basically the Wii version with lower res textures, better shadows and more content. Sure hope it's online! They've only talked about offline but a person can dream.

troublebrewing

Yeah I thought the point of MH was online, but I recently read that none of the portable ones have had it?

UncleSporky

Yeah, I think Tri on the Wii was the first one that made going online easy (not involving LAN tunneling or whatever). EDIT: The PS2 ones were online but seriously.

Also it had a paid subscription in Japan, removed over here in an effort to get Americans interested.

Brainiac 8

Yup, Tri was the first serious online effort for a Monster Hunter.

None of the portables have been online capable, so I'm not expecting TriG to have it. They might for MH4 though.

troublebrewing

The Wii has been the only one I've played so I guess that is where my assumption was formed.

Warning, inside these spoilers is the most awesome possible image from Super Mario 3D Land, your head may explode.

Those MH textures look a bit.. RAGEy. =P
