Do everyone a favor. Take a BIG shower right before, and deodorize HEAVILY.

...and pass the message to as many con-goers as you can.

A shower and 4 swipes of deodorant in each arm is all anyone needs (and cologne if needed). Plus, me and a few other friends smelling nice won't block out all those other bad smells that people exert, considering it's crowds and crowds of folks.

It's an enhanced port. The only things new were added levels inspired from a few of the old Zelda games and single player. You can see them in the trailer.

TLoZ Four Swords Anniversary Edition

Goddamn, this game is addicting on single player alone. Gonna try multiplayer with my bro when I get the chance. Everyone with a 3DS or DSi, download this beast.

You guys really want to know why so many people love MLP so much?

Because it is the only current non-epic, non-adventuring, non-superhero show, aimed for children... whose characters speak like normal people would instead of retarded dialogue just so all kids can understand. Each character has their own quirks, the jokes are funny, the world in itself is interesting... It's one of the only slice-of-life cartoons I've ever seen where they've got everything. From KISS and David Bowie references, to jokes on how ponies are yokels who think clouds moving by themselves is creepy.

I'm curious, have you ever watched Hey Arnold? I know you said current cartoon, but I found it interesting that almost every single thing you mentioned about the show in this quote, is exactly the way to describe Hey Arnold. I've actually re-watched the entire series a few months ago on Youtube recently to relieve my childhood, and It can get so realistic and mature that you wouldn't even guess it's a kids show.

To be fair though, MLP has a fantastical setting, while Hey Arnold has a realistic urban setting, so the comparison might be a little weird. If you never got the chance to watch it way back when, I recommend you do so. Anyway, I don't want to derail the thread anymore, so... *poof*

(also, I attempted to watch the first episode of MLP but couldn't finish it. I'll give it another chance if it really is that good....)

Because Batman pulling off a person mask is more realistic.

...
Believe it or not, Flame, using a mask is a real method for disguise. Combined with voice changing and irrelevance of a multi-billionaire even going into disguise as a homeless person in the first place. Seems like a damn good disguise to me. There's no way in hell most people wouldn't mistake Supes for Clark Kent. Especially Lois, who sees him almost every [tornado fang]ing day.  You're just supposed to go with it.

More about Batman:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ8990rMEdY[/youtube]

And this in particular wasn't even an intentional disguise. Bats isn't stupid, he knows the highly unlikely-hood of someone suspecting an insanely busy billionaire as a "crazed" vigilante dressing up like it's Halloween. 

Oh back to Batman, dont forget hes also used Glasses+Mustache+Match to disguise Bruce Wayne as Matches Malone.

This in itself, was a quip at the ridiculous prospect of simple glasses working as a disguise. Usually, Batman uses much more detailed and logical disguises to get his information.

The glasses thing is mostly a joke. Hal Jordan's secret identity is known by all close people, Wonder Woman shows her face publically, and even Bruce Wayne's secret identity has been found out by Joker, the Riddler, Ra's Al Ghul and Hugo Strange.

But nobody ever finds out who Superman is, other than in rare occasions. Well, that and Batman. But it's okay. He's Batman.

That's the thing. Out of all the examples you gave, Batman (and pretty much all masked heroes) is the only one that can be taken realistically.

Do you honestly think changing posture, curl, glasses and having an obscure job would actually throw people off? Of course not. Superman's disguise is just a really long ongoing gag, as most super heroes need a secret identity. Clark clearly looks likes Superman no matter what, but the reader isn't supposed to take those millions of people oblivious to his alter ego that seriously.

Batman on the other hand, is a hell of a brilliant disguiser. From his Batsuit to an average hobo on the street, complete with voice change, mask and on some occasions, a stubby beard. Realistically, you would have to think, put two-and-two together, link the appearances of Bruce and Bats' (etc.) That's how some people were able to figure out his identity; scientifically.

Plus, it'd look pretty stupid if the entire game was in 2D sprites, and the 3D effect just worked as a pop-out book.

Hell no. You'd be surprised by how well 2D layers work out in stereoscopic 3D.

And if you played the 5th case in the first AA, you'd recall the instances where you could inspect and examine 3D objects/evidence. Really, for this crossover game, they could've even had you examine full 3D environments, with classic 2D sprites for dialog. But that's besides the point.

I'll admit that looks better in action than I would've thought. But I still feel like it won't be the same without the brilliant sprite-work that the AA series portrayed... I dunno, blame it on my fanboyism.
