3DS is really making an effort to go after the older demographic this go around. The RE games, Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy's game, Driver. I guess this is Nintendo's way of acknowledging that at the price point they're not going to be getting droves of younger kids convincing their parents to buy it for them.

Looking forward to the mobile tour to have a chance to check it out. Got to believe it's coming to Orlando.

Now that they've announced the e-shop it begs the question are there really that many GB and GBC games that people still want to play? Off the top of my head I can think of maybe half a dozen I'd still want to play, and most of those being 3rd party so there's no guarantee they'll show up.

PES: You're going to feel like you're really playing football on the football pitch. In case you're into that sort of thing. (Foolz)

Gamers can play the game passionately, like real football players.

i am still disappinted that they said gb and gbc only games i hope that changes and my guess is that  in n/a on the wii the VC 3rd party old games do not sell as well as first party ones that may have scared away some dev from the  e-shop for gb games

"It's a best-of version of Dead or Alive."

...that's not saying much!

  • It's got internet play, local play, and StreetPass features, so you can play when you aren't playing.
  • And co-op.

Hmm. I doubt there'd be many GB or GBC games I'd want to get. Hopefully they'll add GBA games to the list, those would be much more to my liking.

While I'm thrilled to see Dead or Alive back I'm disappointed that it's on a handheld. I'll probably still get it along with Super Street Fighter IV 3DS.

So the price is 250 Euros, but it depends on the retailer. So it could be lower. Or higer.

I guess that will make the price more elastic to market forces and will leave it open to a price rise if there is extremely high demand ... or constrained supply
