Nintendo 3DS

[Shimmyhill]

Where is it?

[Wiper]

You know what would be good?

3D Sonic 3D. Also 3D Landstalker, 3D Story of Thor, and 3D any other classic isometric platformers/RPGs - the extra depth of the screen should finally get rid of the irritation of misjudging the perspective and falling to your death in them.

Also, they'd look awesome.

[Mr Do 71]

It'll be available sometime this afternoon.

I got fiercely chastised on NeoGaf when suggesting Snake Rattle n Roll on 3DS since the nature of isometric games' sprite layers means they wouldn't translate to 3D. I'm sure it could be done though, and it would be wonderful.

[Wiper]

Yeah, they would translate fine - they'd just need actual work done on them (actually mapping each area manually rather than just simply automating the process as I assume they can with the other games) which probably means they won't bother. But if they did put the effort in, it'd be fantastic.

I'd forgotten about Snake Rattle 'n' Roll, though, loved that game. Mega Drive version, yeah?

[joffocakes]

I've only played the NES version. First game I ever owned. The Mega Drive version certainly looks better. It could make for a fun four player mildly competitive co-op game too.

I'd also welcome Marble Madness and, uh, Kid Klown In Crazy Chase? Haha.

[Wiper]

Ah man, you're missing out! Well, actually, they're pretty much identical games, but prettier tiles count for something

Where is it?

It's not 2pm yet.

When i bought my 3DS XL i did the data transfer, but i didn't realise at the time that it didn't copy everything off the 2GB SD card either. I have a back up of this card but ive been using a new card in my new machine, is there a way to merge the data? Think all thats really missing is the pictures and saves for the onboard games, the shooting one and AR card one.

[Not Thread Owner]

Following my guide will do that, but so long after you last transfered? I would have thought Bad Things might happen.

[smac]

So, I have the Mario Kart 7 pack, with MK preinstalled on a 4GB SD card; d'you reckon I'll be able to copy that across if I want to switch to a larger SD card, too?

[Not Thread Owner]

Yes.

[Not Thread Owner]

SEVEN MINUTES!

[Mr Do 71]

[smac]

Yes.

Yay!

Thanks for re-posting the link, then. I expect I'm gonna be doing some downloading of Sega games.

Now, just have to do it on a Mac...

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Sonic today? Think I'll need that too. Those 3D sprite games look really good.

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

my 3ds XL was delivered next door and they are out and i want to play mario kart

I think you're legally allowed to smash their windows.

Oooh! £4.09, not £4.49!

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

i will be getting that later.. a bit scared that i'm bored of the old sonic now though, is it the mega drive one i take it? not the master system version. jungle zone used to be a bitch on that

[Not Thread Owner]

Yes, MD version.

[SMD]

SONIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN SHIT

Someone can't get all the Chaos Emeralds.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Sonic is shit as always, but the 3D effect is pretty cool.

[Keyboard Koala]

Is Altered Beast the arcade version or the standard MD one?

[Not Thread Owner]

MD, which is a stupid decision!

[Keyboard Koala]

MD, which is a stupid decision!

Indeed. Not buying this then.

[StephenM]

God I want a 3ds

[Not Thread Owner]

Indeed. Not buying this then.

I could understand it if they were only doing MD games, but they did the arcade versions of Super Hang On and Space Harrier!
