That review sounds outrageous with some of it's claims, just saying. I pray they are true, but wow...

[VICTORsaurio]

Damn it!!!!!!! I have 8$ on my balance... Will have to get another 20$ card online since Nintendo doesn't take my f***ing credit card!!!!!

9/10 - Nintendo Everything.

The review sounds reasonable but it would be easier to read if it lost all those superlative adjectives (astonishing! fantastic!).

 

[sorijealut]

Yeah that and its last bits where it compares it to all other sidescrollers ever. Comparisons are just stupid

 

[Cmagus]

Looks good nice to see the eshop putting out some great stuff

lol, I just noticed the "better than NSMBWii" bit. If I took that stuff seriously I'd have to discount the review all together.

Yep. Outrageous that it was even said. Now if it's true, then well...that's outrageous as well lol

Why not?

 

[Glix]

So pumped for this.

 

[MatthewB92]

Why not?

Might not be a visa or master card.

 

[cw_sasuke]

eShop is on a roll right now. The quality is definitely there to back up the price point, so BUY IT.

impressive. release it in Germany and i will buy it.

This x 1000

 

[Phife Dawg]

I'm up for it if $ 8,99 does not translate to € 8,99.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I was wondering if perhaps he was like me and tried to use a non-US card on the US eShop.

The workaround is to set the region to Brazil.

Hope it's something like that then. Would be an easy fix.

 

[GeekyDad]

Woah, woah, woah...nobody mentioned this:

"V-Land's reddish hue is obviously influenced by Nintendo's Virtual Boy system, while G-Land is an ode to Nintendo great Gunpei Yokoi and features a monochromatic color scheme somewhat reminiscent of the Game Boy."

-NintendoLife

Seems, you've been keeping at least a couple goodies under wraps. Nice...

 

[Boney]

Saying anything is better than NSMBWii is just bananas.

Someone made the comparison to Gargoyle's Quest at some point and now I can't unsee it. It seriously seems like a cutesy inoffensive take on Gargoyle's Quest to me now.

Now that you mention this, there really is a comparison to be made.

I was wondering if perhaps he was like me and tried to use a non-US card on the US eShop.

How are the prices represented in Brazil? What about tax? Cause I can't use CC here either.

Wow!

This game was definitely under my radar, but I'm juggling around 6 games on my 3DS all at once so I wasn't thinking of getting it day 1.
These scores persuaded me to get my card ready on Thursday.

Wow really? I mean, it looked good, but I was not expecting scores like that

 

[cw_sasuke]

Just realized again what a bitch region-lock is....no Monster Hunter Tri G and Mutant Mudds for me just because of it. Urgh.... but since i have exams right now, it isnt that bad.

This game will single-handedly ease the pain of being the only region not getting RE: Revelations this week.

you get RE next week. we get Mutant Mudds in..I dunno...mabye 2 months.
hell, we haven't got Cave Story yet, for godssake. *shakes fist*

 

[eXistor]

Good stuffs. I saw the trailer in the eShop a few days ago and was sold on the spot. I do remember something about the game from a long time ago. Good to see it's finally getting a release.

 

[sorijealut]

OH I only now realized jools up there ^ is the developer of the game LOL

Hi there big guy I'm excited for your game.

 

[electroplankton]

Any word on a PAL release??

 

[VICTORsaurio]

Why not?

Because I live in Venezuela. I used to buy points on the Wii Shop without any problems but with the 3DS it's a no go.

I'll try changing the e-shop region like you suggested, I have set it to NA since we don't have the e-shop available here. Hopefully it will work.

EDIT:
So, if I change regions I "lose" my current Balance... seems like I'm screwed anyway. I might try to switch regions if/when my balance hits 0$

If you switch regions back later your credit will still be there.

 

[Omega.Blaze]

Those graphics look so good in 3D.

 

[skullomania]

Kokopolo wants a fight with Mutant Mudds!!!

 

[GDGF]

I've been getting some kind of new gen Blaster Master vibe from everything I've seen of this game.

I wants it.

 

[VICTORsaurio]

I know, it just sucks that I'm still going to have to pay full price for the game, while having credit on my account.

I guess it's better to pay 9$ for this and still have 8$ on my US account than to just keep adding more unused funds.

 

[Baconbitz]

I want this game pretty badly. Can't wait. Also, I hate that debit cards arent accepted.

 

[abstract alien]

Sigh...now I have to by it. How the fuck am I supposed to ignore something like that? I'm obligated at this point.

 

[Kifimbo]

Holy difficulty spike.

 

[rpmurphy]

Kokopolo wants a fight with Mutant Mudds!!!

I would love to see more collab games on downloadable services. We see IP crossovers in retail games but rarely anywhere else.

Are you playing the game? Impressions please!

Congrats! I've been buying/following your output since the original DS and can say that I'm very excited for Mutant Mudds!

Now throw us a bone and give us Dementium 3D!

Holy difficulty spike.

damn, first comment getting me colder in this whole thread.

Impressions please?

 

[Kifimbo]

Are you playing the game? Impressions please!

Yes. So far so good, but I'm not as impressed as the reviews above (probably an 8/10, subject to change). Can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe because it's a bit repetitive (so far), or because some deaths are "cheap", e.g. you can't see some monsters/obstacles/spikes on the screen until it's too late. And the last level I played was a lot harder than the previous 15. Don't know how I'll have enought time to collect these 100 diamonds.

 

[Eusis]

Huh? I've used mine just fine. Maybe it needs to be something that can ACT as a credit card as necessary?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Still the best E-shop game is yours.

I doubt Mutant Mudds will beat it for me but I'll be getting it.

Thanks, the early reviews have a lot of hyperbole which is to be expected but it still looks really good. I was worried about the game being too easy and now I'm worried it getting too hard too quickly.

 

[Kifimbo]

It's not too hard too quickly (unless you enter those Game Boy/Virtual Boy levels right away). I thought the learning curve was almost perfect, maybe a tad easy if you're a good player, and suddenly I spent about 30 minutes on one stage. And I had to avoid collecting diamonds in order to finish it before the timer ran out. Maybe I just suck.

Anyway, the game is good, I still wonder how long it'll last. Betweew 5-7 hours is my estimate, but if the last half of the game is like that last stage I played, probably more.
