Well, at least Europeans get their theme consoles with the damn game they're themed after.

Well, I didn't care so much about that honestly since I managed to pre-order a LE of MM. It is weird, though, especially since the Monster Hunter 4 bundle comes with MH4 pre-installed. Just about everything involving the MM N3DS was really weird.

 

[Thundercrack85]

As did I. But it still seems odd. Now if that becomes a trend... geez.

hmm there is this

Nintendo Haven’t Forgotten Their Other Monster Collecting RPG, Fossil Fighters Frontier. January 14, 2015 . 10:55am

Fossil Fighters Frontier is still coming to the Nintendo 3DS in North America.

Fossil Fighters Frontier is still coming to the Nintendo 3DS in North America. The monster-collecting RPG will be released on March 20th, Nintendo said today, and will cost $29.99.

Fossil Fighters requires you to excavate “Vivosaur” fossils and bring the creatures back to life. (Fossils you find need to be cleaned first.) This time around, you’ll be able to explore the game’s world in a customizable buggy. Two players will be able to compete in battles online, and up to six players will be able to battle locally.

You can learn more about Fossil Fighters Frontier here and via our previous coverage.

it's like another version of pokemon but it's prehistoric animals and you catch with vehicles




It seem's Siliconera was fallowing them & I didn't notice this thing til this direct but the hinted at this coming to North America way prior to today

I really need to get one in order to play the new Fire Emblem games.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I might get one eventually, but I am really disappointed we didn't get the standard sized one with the SNES colors.

It's going to take more than Xenoblade.

Wish these things weren't region locked. Which, given that the price of games is about the same in Japan, never made much sense to me.

With DVD's and blu-rays, I get it, but a new 3DS game costs like 2 dollars more in Japan. So reverse importing really doesn't make sense.

 

[TheLastBlade]

Awwwww Yeah! New Fire Emblem!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fire Emblem :3

 

[WolfCypher]

O...kay? To make an attempt to add something to the last post, I was pleasantly surprised that we were getting another FE, considering that Intelligent Systems were working on Project STEAM. I didnt think they could work on two games at once and figured another FE would be a year away.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Now bundled with its own AC adapter!

 

[Benstamania]

I won't lie.. I enjoy the hell out of FE.. but I was so glad I could turn Perma death off in the last one. I get that's a huge point of the series.. but I ain't got TIME for that.

 

[Soapy]

Really looking forward to the new Fire Emblem. Although it makes me wonder about the status of the SMT X FE game. Is the new game a New 3DS exclusive or can it be played on any of them? I didn't catch that.

It has its own thread & yeah it's exclusive to the 3DS .

 

[Tron Bonne]

He was asking if it's exclusive to the New 3DS, and no, it's not.

 

[zenith16]

which is why I didn't say New 3DS. They said only 3DS as most of the site's list's 3DS not just the word New.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Then the correct answer there would have been to say no, not yeah. He wasn't asking if it was exclusive to the 3DS, it's obviously on the hardware and a Nintendo franchise, but if it was like Xenoblade and only playable on New 3DS

 

[Travesty]

Ugh, I'm already hating this New 3DS.

 

[WolfCypher]

"Another DS?"

"Its the New 3DS."

"Oh, so its like another DS."

"Yeah, but there are games coming out for it that can only be played on it and not any other model."

"Oooh! So this is like the Wii U was to the Wii..."

"No, its not the next DS, its just a better revised 3DS."

"That is backwards compatible with all prior DS and 3DS games."

"Yes."

"But has new, exclusive games only it can play."

"Yes."

"Huhh........Oh look. Another Call of Duty!"

"Now, that's easier to explain."

 

[zenith16]

^^ Guess that's the perfect segway for this , which was put up by game informer

[Travesty]

I thought it was going to sell for $180? So its $200 without an AC adapter? Eh....

 

[Soapy]

No matter the price, I'm not planning on getting one. It seems fairly obvious to me that this is just something they're releasing in the interim until their actual next thing comes out.

 

[Benstamania]

Which could still be years away. With higher processing power, 3D face tracking and the damn c stick (finally) I'm jumping on this head first.

Yep. This. The c-stick and improved 3D have me hooked.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I'm not getting one until they release the standard sized version.

Though if they released GBA games, and SNES games, I might consider it this year.

I still wonder why they made a standardized one with American SNES colored face buttons. Lot of people say they'll be released at a later date. I hope so.

Huh? The standard one has the Japanese Famicom and European SNES colors, not the American grey and purple. I've seen mock ups of this, but I don't think there's been an actual model released like it has there?

 

[Thundercrack85]

It would appear you are correct. That must have been a reoccurring mock up picture.
