3ds In 15 Days
And as such, I assume the release roster is finalized, and so I'm forced to ask.
NINTENDO
Y U NO GIVE 3DS RELEASE FIRST-PARTY SUPPORT
Seriously, hopefully the reviews will correct me, but of the three release-day Nintendo games, two seem like arcade games, and the other is Nintendogs, which is adorable, but reminds me of the Tamagotchi toys - They seem cool, and they're cute, but they're not a lot of fun. Why withhold the Ocarina or Star Fox remakes? I don't know this since I don't know much about game code, someone who does correct me if wrong, but those are in-large already made, since they're remakes. They just need kinks to be worked out with the new controls and such, which, based on all the first-hand previews I've read, were few in number. Granted, with the LoZ remake, I can kind of understand since it turns out Master Quest has been added - To my delight - and as such, needs to be worked out, but I can't think of an excuse for the Star Fox 64 remake. Relatedly, the impressions of Kid Icarus: Uprising have also already been overwhelmingly positive, albeit there were some annoyed with the switch from platformer to TPS, why's it being delayed?
It bugs me that the only 3DS release titles that interest me is Resident Evil: Mercenaries, and even then it's in the bottom of the five games I'm looking forward to. are Ridge Racer and Asphalt, and even then, unless there's a large enough sale of them to assure online gaming, it doesn't garner much.
I'm not taking down my pre-reserve though - Based on my experiences with the DS and Wii, when Nintendo turns on the hype machine and releases a new system, you either pre-reserve it and get it that way, wait in line to get it, or you don't get it for a few months, if you're lucky only that long. I already put the pre-reserve down, so the second is out of mind, and the third is easily the least-desirable option; If the 3D tanks and no games come out for a while, just because it's a new Nintendo system that's hard to find, I can toss it on eBay and make a profit. It'd just be silly to withdraw the reserve, but I wish I didn't have to approach it from this standpoint.
But come on Nintendo, please announce a surprise release title for the 3DS everyone wants to see? I don't want to buy it and have it sit collecting dust for two months.
