Castlevania 3DS for me.

This rumor is a couple of weeks old, but I think it is inevitable that Castlevania 3DS is indeed coming.

Quote

Today I received a considerable sized rumor from the same source that brought me the Zone of Enders 3 and Metal Gear Solid 5 tips, that artists and 3D modelers have already begun to work on the next Castlevania game and that it’s for 3DS. Furthermore, talk has gone around the studio how to cleverly make use of the 3DS’ 3D cameras. That part, if true, makes more sense than using the handheld’s motion controls on their own, because Koji revealed to me in the past that though he finds “motion gaming” interesting, it’s not best suited for longterm gaming sessions or for the more hardcore-type of game that requires extreme precission

Source

I have been enjoying all six 2D games since the GBA launch, and even though they vary in quality they're all worth playing.

If Ouendan 3 were announced, I would order a 3DS within seconds.

My most anticipated game has already been announced: The Layton x Phoenix Wright game.

same thing that would have motivated me into buying the first DS, then the new DS, then the DSi, and now the 3DS.

a fucking 2D side scrolling Metroid game.

$50+ price drop before I even consider one.

A FFVI 3DS remake would be excellent, especially if they leave the soundtrack unmolested (no dumbass remixes)

A good 2D Mario would seal the deal the well. Even a good 3D Mario.

I already want one for Paper Mario, OoT, Star Fox, Pilotwings, and Street Fighter IV.

I would REALLY like a new Zelda game though. Something that doesn't use the ST/PH method. A fully 3D analog stick-controlled game.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #18 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:05:52 PM »

A side scrolling CV would be ace, ditto for Metroid (Metroid Dread finally, maybe?).

Bildi · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:16:45 PM »

Probably nothing, but a really kick-ass, new, proper 3D Zelda game would make me wish I had one.

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #20 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:12:44 PM »

A $100 price drop and some GAMES. At this point I honestly feel sorry for everyone that bought one. I'll get it next Christmas when it's $200. Or, when Sony announces the NGP at $250 and Ninty drops the 3DS to $200.

Pilotwings, apparently.

The price is crazy for what it is, and that's not the issue for me; it's the principle that I'd be supporting a company for putting out shoddy tech for a high price. But I don't really have values, or pride, or anything like that. Shiny toys matter more.

I'm going to buy it for OoT 3DS and I don't think the thing will get a price drop by then, so might as well get it day one and have that great feeling of buyers remorse for a few months. It took a a year or two for me to stop feeling that way about my PS3.

As if it will drop in price, the system is garbage however. But demand will be so high even to next year. Unless the ngp is $300.

naff · « **Reply #25 on:** February 27, 2011, 10:45:16 PM »

Something genuinely interesting, a new Castlevania or a 2D Metroid game that's made by Nintendo not Ninja Theory (or a new nintendo IP

not related to digital sports

). Only DS games I've played are Rocket Slime and Order of Ecclesia so I've got no love for Layton or Phoenix Wright yet which seem to be the only interesting games outside of RE that I know of for the system.

just kidding, i've got no interest in handhelds and haven't played one in years. i can't justify lugging around an ugly piece of nerd tech unless it can do a hell of a lot more than play games. also there's no way i could justify going along with the outrageous and outdated game pricing (omg $40 for an UPDATED CLASSIC must buy)

I was expecting you to say Demon's Souls. That game could literally be a NGP killer.

Corporal · « **Reply #33 on:** February 28, 2011, 03:28:05 AM »

Yah, a steep discount would be the most important issue for me. I absolutely cannot see myself spend 250€ for a gaming-only handheld. Especially if the rumours about Netfront as a browser are true. Home consoles at that price? Sign me up. I refuse to shell out that much for a single-purpose portable machine though, especially given the graphic fidelity and featureset of that thing.

Maybe some Zelda concoction in the spirit of Links Awakening, with the colour palette of Minish Cap and the multiplayer mode of Four swords (because I've never played that one). Also a New Super Mario World or New Yoshis Island would be nice, preferrably in 2D. Which wouldn't make it a "New" title, but whatever.

... or how about something completely new. None of the old franchise rehashes, no Mario, no Link, no Samus, no nostalgia bullshit, nobody from Nintendos existing roster. A completely new game universe. I don't care if it were a SMB2-type reskin, I'd probably buy it out of principle before even considering getting the hardware.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #34 on:** February 28, 2011, 03:45:54 AM »

Another Nintendo handheld/console launching without any type of killer app from Nintendo that demonstrates the tech. More half baked bullshit.

My bet is we won't see western devs making quality portable wrpgs till NGP. Why waste good ideas on this pos?

Oblivion · « **Reply #36 on:** February 28, 2011, 06:35:58 AM »

I'm already gonna get it for OoT 3DS, but it's a matter of when. $250+ is way too rich for my blood, even for OoT, sadly.

I was one of the few that didn't. I'll want one when Icarus, Pilotwings, and Zelda are out, but I'm holding out until I hear how the NGP will be priced. Despite everyone at 8-4 completely freaking out all over the 3DS all the time, I'm still not sold at all on it. I think it's dated (I'm used to apps and instant gratification, etc.), and I don't even think I'd spend any real time with it, to be honest. My train commute is like 10 minutes max, and when I get home I have a Bravia, a PS3, a 360, and an, uh, Wii to play games on. I think the only handheld game I've spent any real time on in the past 2 years or so is Carcassonne on my iPhone, and that's only because it has asynchronous online play.

Wait, is Drive By a 3DS and XBLA title? I will probably be sticking with the XBLA version, because if it's going to unlock anything, I don't trust Volition to get crossplatform unlocks down. Fun gameplay? Sure, 100% But them getting same-platform co-op running in SR2 was a car wreck.

There isn't a game under the sun that would do it.

I've only ever owned one handheld, the DS. Didn't own one before, won't own one after. Bought it to play NSMB because I was just jonesing for a retro Mario game at the time, and now it's basically a Mario Kart player. In fact, the only game that has been in the thing for about 3 years is Mario Kart.
