3DS Discussion Thread

I'm not a fan of Mario Tennis (or Strikers) gameplay style (special moves etc), but I do love this.

Yeah that is pretty cool, but I won't be buying it either
Simply not interested in Mario Sports games, just don't have a love for tennis, golf or sports in general to spend £25-£35 on games dedicated to a single sport.

Especially with the RPG mode thrown out, seems rather barebones.

Not entirly 3DS related but since it can play DS games aswell I thought I'd put it here.

Cool sounding battle music, who is doing the music for this game?

This week in North America. I guess someone either complained, or asked nicely how they go about selecting titles.

edit: It was born from a complaint about the lacklustre selection in North America

No awesome LE for Europe (Kingdom Hearts 3D)

Sadly, Rayman Origins on 3DS suffers from poor resolution and is far too small to be able to see the amazing visuals. It also suffers from a slower framerate and the sound is fuzzy/muffled in places.

As someone who loved Rayman Origins to bits, I urge you to get it on another system to fully be able to appreciate just how good it is. You'll also be able to pick it up far cheaper than the 3DS version.

Graphics are definitely blurry and grainy on 3DS. Sound does its best but comes out 'tinny' on its little speakers. HD versions will always be the superior ones. Only someone who doesn't have an HD console should go for the 3DS vers.

I'm pretty sure Rayman feels stiffer and less responsive to control, as well.

Of course, I'm comparing this to the Vita version, but I presumed the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions would be just as good, if not better. Either way, the frame rate is definitely slower than on PS Vita.

This 3DS port feels lacklustre to me, in comparison.

I just played Shooting Me Softly on the 3DS demo.. and wow. It looks great to me, I see what Michel Ancel was saying when he said it looks "Really cool" on the 3DS. So, I guess I'm the only one who didn't really have any problems with the 3DS demo?

At first I thought "Wow, Rayman is tiny" but then I was like "Actually, this is pretty good."

I'm still torn between getting the 360/Wii version or the 3DS one. I may get it on 360 and 3DS eventually. Not too sure yet.

That's fine if you think it looks good. But it's still obviously nowhere near as clear and gorgeous as the HD versions. Doesn't do the art style justice.

Fair enough.

"The only thing I could notice on the 3DS is that it's basically like playing the game on a smaller screen"

made me think you thought it looked just as good since you didn't say anything about it. That's one of the first things I noticed.

Looks like Origins will be the first dual eShop/Retail release if this is anything to go by.

The full version of the game will be available at retailers and online on June 5, 2012.

Could just mean that its available to buy from retailers online, but the game's release date is the exact same day as Nintendo's E3 press conference, so who knows.
