I found using that absolutely necessary on the first level in the game that you fight at high altitude on -- there was that much cloud I kept losing track of my orientation

Original soundtrack was released in Japan.
Can`t stop listening to these tracks:

stealth bump
This game is constantly surprising me in its production values. It doesn't feel like a handheld bred title, yet it flows like one! It's amazing really. Did the game sell well enough to warrant another Ace game on 3DS? It'd be a shame to have such a good jumpoff with nothing to follow it.
Speaking about the soundtrack, this page has some interesting behind the scenes for the recording sessions.
They should use it as an opportunity to remake Ace Combat 3.
I'm going to take a wild guess here and say no, absolutely not.
The game opened at only around 11k for it's first week and then dropped off the charts completely in Japan. Given that this thread is only 5 pages long, I can't imagine it did particularly well in The West either.
A terrible shame. I'd love to see the team do more on the platform.
Edit: Yep, I think the numbers speak for themselves.
Hmm, never played DS Air but going by this trailer, I would say that Ace Combat is very similar to that. So yeah buy the game, I'm pretty sure you'll love it.

I just found out the hard way that this game doesn't support the Circle Pad Pro in its PAL version.... DAMNIT!!!!
I kinda bought this game mainly because I heard it was compatible with the Frankenstick, and the same could be said for the Frankenstick as well, so... DAMNIT AGAIN!!!
I just finished the other day Ace Combat X2 on the PSP (loved it!) and there is NO WAY I'm playing through another Ace Combat without a left stick anytime soon!
That would be simply wonderful! The game was horribly butchered in its western release.... I only discovered about it recently...

It doesn't really need it. Controls way better than the PSP games due to a few control tweaks, the new maneuver system, and using an analog pad that's non-insane.

That's a relief, but the wound is still too recent. It'll wait a little more I guess...

Yeah, I do recommend waiting a bit. I tend to burn out on AC if I play too much so I can see some time off would help you.

Does this game have a free flight mode?
Nope. You can replay any mission you completed in story mode, though. Plus there are extra missions and survival missions.

Bummer, thanks though.

Sorry about the bump but I just picked this up for $8.99 at GameStop and I feel like I ripped them off. Game is real good.

Still bitter at the lack of CCP support for the NA and EU versions >_>

So I recently picked up Assault Horizon Legacy Plus, and I'm really enjoying this so far. Reminds me of a time when almost all third parties invested heavily in 3DS, as this has high production values and a lot of polish and thought in its design.
What's interesting is how much the New 3DS controls fit the game, as being able to use ZL and ZR simultaneously alongside L and R to control your aircraft's yaw makes the classic controls feel completely natural, and the C-Stick camera controls are liberating, especially when you've got it set to cockpit mode.
So I can see why Namco chose to reissue this instead of Ridge Racer 3D. Though it's a shame the N3DS's extra CPU cores and clock aren't utilised here - slowdown occurs in the same places as the original release.
