Just played a couple demos: Limbo, which is very atmospheric and that's about all it has going for it. And Anomaly: Warzone Earth, which is a pretty cool take on the tower defense genre making it actually a tower offense game. I'll probably get the latter since it's a midweek madness deal and skip the former until it's dirt cheap on Steam.

I just started Epic Mickey, got past Its a Small World and started the next world after mean street USA which is the toon town. The gameplay is so basic, it almost feels like a long lost PS1 game. There is the slightest hint of a Deus Ex like choose your own path kind of thing but its very basic and usually involves only two different paths. Combat is almost non existant, so is platforming. In fact I dont know what i have been doing, I guess exploration with fetch quests. Clearly they could have done more but the setting and story has me totally hooked since I am a huge Disney fan.

Great impressions, Edge.  I've Actually considered picking up theMove controller myself, but will probably wait till 2012.

Seeing the Ape Escape game being Move only has seriously put me over the edge. Though I've not heard great things about said game.

Aspro, that deathmatch we played last night was so good, easily one of my favorites out of all the deathmatches I've played.  It was down to the wire to the very end, which is what I like.

BTW, sorry for fucking up co-op last night.

Have they announced a released date or at least an approximate release date for Mario Kart 7?  At this point that's really the one and only game on the 3DS that I'm super interested in playing.

I played Pilotwings 3DS this morning, seems pretty cool, I would like to get it when its cheaper.

^Actually there is. Some retailers have money back guarantee and that entails that if a product drops in price within 30 days the amount you paid too much will be given back to you. So in other words you can buy a 3DS right now, get in the Nintendo program to download those free 10 games and then get your 80 bucks back.

Free 20 games, 10 gba games, 10 NES games

Why is there a fat Batman? Is that a FatMan?

It must be based on Frank Millers heavier, older Batman in the Dark Knight Returns and the Dark Knight Strikes again.

Note: The game only really begins properly at Mean Street, the game you've played so far is just foreplay.

Though goddamn, I want that Animated Series Batman. Always my favourite Batman.

That's him on the right of the centre, also they have the Batman Beyond outfit on the far left, though muscled up and with a different headpiece he looks more like Marvel's Black Panther.

Yeah Resistance is shockingly drab and boring coming from the same guys that make Ratchet & Clank. Even the weapons are boring....you'd think they would have been a highlight.

I will probably pass on Borderlands 2, unless its a big improvement over the original. The game was just too repetitive for me to care about doing the same thing again for a sequel.

Iwata on how the 3DS price cut may affect Wii U

Iwata said:

With regard to the influence on the Wii U, what we have to take most seriously is that the price markdown could damage the trust of the consumers who bought the Nintendo 3DS just after the launch. I feel greatly accountable for it. Our decision of the price markdown this time has a side effect that, at the launch of the Wii U, people may feel that the price might drop in the near future if they wait. Nevertheless, we have decided to cut down the price of the Nintendo 3DS as we consider it as a necessary decision now. What we will be able to do to recover the consumers' trust before the launch of the Wii U is very important to us. Since the Wii U we showed you at the E3 show in June was still in the development phase without very specific proposals on the software titles, we are going to announce the release date and the price next year when we are able to explain the specific proposals. Anyway, the biggest influence is on our consumers' trust, I thin
