Wait Amir0x pre-ordered Ridge Racer? After everything we've already been through?

I don't see why not. In fact, to make things less sloppy, if you do want to make one just making it a universal thread for whatever game you're making the OT for (So Pilotwings (US/JPN/EURO thread) so that it can cover the US releases of these titles as well and we won't have a billion copy threads in a month.

I can't help myself! My Ridge love is a sickness. I AM SICK!
Plus, I'm between a rock and a hard place. It's less than a month from launch and i have zero games to be enthusiastic about. I had to make a choice lol

Good I was hoping it would be that way. I could use my other thread to link to the OT's of each game so that way people won't lose it and just make a bunch of topics.
Although at the moment I don't feel like making any OT's.
I've never played a Ridge Racer game, but it looks better than Asphalt, but I am really bummed that Scamco didn't put online play in it. >_>;

I have a 3DS pre-ordered with PS3 style no games, except for the Rabbids, which is coming free with the system.
Wait, maybe that's worse.

You don't have to buy it day one. Maybe you'll be able to play a demo at the store or something first? You could always buy it a few days later after you've gotten the chance to play it.
Although I think Steel Diver is one of the more interesting efforts just because of the periscope mode that uses the gyro sensor.

Curious, have you ever played Wario Land on the Virtual Boy? I know it's been awhile, but from what I remember of it, the depth worked really well with the gameplay in that platformer.
MidnightScott said:
I mean, one I doubt I'll be able to waltz into a store a few days later and buy it. Two, i already know it's a wasteland lineup... it wouldn't change whether I got my hands on it or not.
But three, and this is the important thing, I see no reason to wait because the price is not going to drop again before Paper Mario 3DS comes out. And by that time, the system might be going under extreme shortages and then I'll have to wait to get it which is not acceptable. I need Paper Mario 3DS day -100.
Marty Chinn said:
Yup, it's one of the only games besides the Tennis one I have for the platform. I don't remember it impacting anything at all the 3D. I do remember my eyes gushing rivers of blood though after playing for twelve minutes.

Gimmickry and novelty have always BEEN commendable Amir0x.Amir0x said:I'm sorry, I forgot, gimmickry for the sake of gimmickry and novelty for the sake of something different with no regard for the impact to the gameplay/technicals or the functionality of the gameplay is somehow commendable in the post-Wii era.
I for one can't wait for the next Nintendo handheld. I hope they let me use my pinkies to control something.

I'm just another reuglar Japan gaffer and I got to try out the 3DS at Gotemba Premium Outlet mall today. Honestly I haven't really followed the 3DS much so this may just be preaching to the choir here but whatever...
My overall impression of the hardware is alright. It's like a DS lite put on a little weight. The screens are bright and crispy and I liked the fact that you can switch between 3D and 2D modes on the fly.
The 3D effect was better than I expected and I really liked the feel of the analog stick. I wish I had a chance to play something besides Nintendogs 3DS but at least I got to check it out around launch.
I may want to pick one of these up after things calm down a bit. I'm convinced on this whole glasses-free 3D. This is the way TV 3D should go.
Just my two cents.

It's going that way... slowly.
Also...
Maybe next handheld iteration we'll get something like 'view point overlay technology', that'd cross out one big problem

Thank goodness the market is leaning towards what the 3DS' tech is based on. I can't stand wearing glasses just to see 3D.

You might be right. It's been ages since I played it and I'm too lazy to go try and dig it out right now to see what it was like. I just remember it being one of the few games where I thought the 3D sorta worked but like I said, it's been awhile.
On a different note, why are people preordering games at this point? I really think there's going to be a sale on games from some of the retailers when it launches so I don't see why anyone would preorder at this point, especially if it's at Amazon.

which will be good. i can't seem them ever fixing the focusing issue until they get actual holograms working, or unless they can get some kind of retina sensing camera working.Amir0x said:
then of course you're back with a display that only works for one person though. i think there's always going to be a degree of extra work involved in watching or playing something in 3D, and while i do think that we'll possibly just get used to it (like we have with watching 2D tv, we don't try and force our eyes to focus an out of focus background) i don't know that it'll ever be perfect on a 'display'.
i'm thinking we need holograms, or beamed straight into our eye shit before it'll be as natural as looking at the real world.

Yippeee!! I love keeping track of time played on the Wii so this is good news for me.345triangle said:
Bleh, those lifeless backgrounds in SSF4 made me go back and cancel that particular preorder. I'm sure it's a solid game all around but since I already own it (twice) on the PS3, I'll take a wait-and-see approach to verify whether the "magic" is still there even with the backgrounds frozen in time.
Pilotwings Resort and Steel Diver remain, and I'm pretty pumped about both. I watched the PWR trailer again, this time with headphones, and those sound effects. <3 The hum of rocket boosters, the chime of hitting a target, the rush of air when you glide into a thermal... Good stuff.
Maybe I'll preorder Nintendogs as a third game. I'm just concerned it'll be mic-intensive; it always felt awkward yelling at my handheld to get my pup to execute the right moves. It would be nice if there were touchscreen button shortcuts as an alternative to voice commands...
That, and I already have a real-life dog, two cats, three goldfish and a tadpole in a large tank, etc. My empathy makes me feel guilty about the old Nintendogs being neglected, but I figure as long as I don't boot up the game, they're still in the mint condition I last left them since the game's clock won't have been updated. XD

I actually remember trippin on mushrooms a few years back and Electroplankton was glorious! I've generally quit drugs except rare exceptions, but I think 3DS would be amazing high.
BocoDragon said:Everyone's always waltzing into stores on Nintendo console launches for some reason
I mean I definitely did that for the Gamecube launch (waltzed into Ames and got one right off the shelf. of course, nobody ever shopped at Ames. Which is why the store closed one year later).
But as a general rule, high profile launches are always stocked out for a little bit after the launch window. And in really bad situations, ala PS2 and Wii, it can be months.
And with how successful Nintendo handhelds are and the bungling of Wii's supply for like six or seven months post launch and for that Christmas season, I don't want to take a risk

Neat, you couldn't control the flying one on the DSi Sound.donkey show said:
It seems like there are less visualizers, but there are mostly good ones. At lot of the DSi ones are garbage.
I'll miss the Mario one though.

Yeah I think "waltzing" days are over. We all know the Wii situation... but also I remember the DS was even sold out at times during 2005, and that was more of a slow buildup than I expect 3DS to be.Amir0x said:

So, all 400,000 launch day units are sold. Should I pick my unit up that's on hold at my import shop for $499?
