It looks like the Castle Club is likely an RPG mode.

And they said that Inazuma Eleven was digital-only haha

Well I figured as much since it'd be pretty hard to get a physical game out immediately after a Web stream.

Its now completely [tornado fang]ing unwatchable because they keep [tornado fang]ing buffering.
Oh, good, I thought that was just me... O:<

I like the metal eggs and jackhammer shown in Yoshi's New Island.  Still not too keen on the visual style but it's not a deal-breaker.  What honestly bothers me more, presentation-wise, is that any music heard thus far has been slow, subdued, and lacking in energy.  Even if you ARE actively directing the game to the younger side of the audience, that doesn't mean you have to make it into a frikkin' lullaby.

I've never played a touch-screen golf game before so I'm not really sure what to think of the new Mario Golf game.  Video game golf is one of those things were traditional buttons seem to serve the best purpose; if you're concerned about how realistic it is then it's not THAT hard to just go play a real round of golf.  >.>

Soup, /rpm/.
What's your opinion on 2DS, and what does it lack aside from the 3D and the fact that it's huge instead of portable?

As in you're thinking of buying one?  Other than what was mentioned above it's not really lacking anything else.  It's also not that big, it's actually smaller than the original 3DS unfolded but of course you can't fit it in your pocket.  I'm quite fine with the concept of course since I have the original 3DS, with the ambassador program no less, there's no reason I would buy one but if something were to happen to my 3DS I might consider it since I don't use the 3D or play games that heavily rely on it.

Yeah. I'm considering to buy it.
And thanks for your reply, it's good to know that it doesn't lack anything aside from 3D... and portability isn't really a problem since I have no plans to ever take it out of the house if I do buy one.

From my understanding, its exactly the same save for having only a mono speaker (that sounds like ass, headphones are a must.) and Sleep Mode is enabled through a button rather than just closing it.

It'll still play all the same games so its still a fine system, but most people still recommend the XL because its probably easier on the hands. Though the different design of the 2DS might make it easier to hold too, I don't know.

Anyhow, this was announced for release in the US today.
Tomodachi Life Direct 4.10.14

For anybody that doesn't know, this is something that's been out in Japan for a while now and them bringing it out is pretty big.

It's also more durable since it doesn't rely on the clam shell folding like the other systems.  It has the same battery life as the original 3DS but the XL has bigger battery life, but that shouldn't be a problem since you don't game on the go.

Yeah, I was quite surprised to hear of Tomodachi's localization. I mean I expected it but not quite this soon.

Its been around a year, that is relatively fast.

Considering they kind of cut down the really Japanese stuff, had to get their voice synthesizer thing to do english (and other languages for the European audience.), and some other technical stuff I take it.

Yes.

But alas... my monitor seems to be dying, so I'll be getting myself a new and better one probably.
So no 2DS/3DS for me.

Smash probably isn't coming till the end of Summer most likely. Since they didn't say June I'd expect August because NoA has it in their mind that nobody buys games in July.

So you have time to save.

I would probably get it for Christmas, you have to remember I don't put my games in one basket until Christmas.  Things like Smash, Pokemon and Animal Crossing are exceptions.

Well we got some new 3DS models coming out that will be compatible with the Amiibo and a nub above the buttons to control the camera it seems and ZR and ZL buttons like the Wii U.  Somethings have been switched around, there's micro SD support, stuff has been improved, they have switchable covers and to top it all off Xenoblabe Chronicles is being ported to the 3DS.

I know a certain LPer who's going to go insane over that last part.....

As long as they can get the capture device working with it, I'll be considering it. I wanted to upgrade for a while now, just haven't been able to afford it yet. Perhaps soon...

My gorilla hands cannot handle the original model. I really want to play that Kingdom Hearts game but my hands will cramp to [parasitic bomb] within minutes of playing that.

I hope they allow for some sort of trade-in discount or something. I just got my XL in November but the new model is REALLY appealing.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this. I'm diggin' having all these features (like using Amiibo figurines without a separate communicator and the built-in C-Stick) being on one system plus the better 3D screens and faster CPU. I'm hoping for an early 2015 release window in the U.S..

Let's hope so. My brother is gonna be mad when finds out about this hot off the press.
