I, too, have a US version of Monster Hunter Tri though I haven't been on for a while now.

I look forward to finding out what the new Monster Hunter game has to offer. What kind of new monsters and gear will we get? ^_^

Funny story regarding the mention of leaping from systems: I actually went backwards in the Nintendo heirarchy, as (I'm ashamed to say that) I started with a DSL. I got GBA games and, annoyed with the fit in Slot-2 got a GBA SP, and the same thing happened with GB/C games. It'll never end, since I'm such a sucker with legacy Nintendo gear

Very nice indeed! June/July is going to be an expensive month for me!

Is it bad that I'm more excited for SF64 than OoT? Yes? Ok. Just checking.

Well we've received good Zelda since OoT. No Star Fox has come close to being as good as 64.

Funny story, it was in the HTML. They seemed to have layered the flash on top of it.

More Super Mario 3DS info! RACCOON SUIT HOOOOOOOO!

(Or Tanooki. I'll take either)

Wow. This and the possible Wii 2 announcement... Nintendo is going to dominate E3 once again, that's for sure.

Hypershell · **Reply #637 on:** April 22, 2011, 05:45:10 PM

Sweet news. I'm curious as to how the tail will handle, considering that melee attacks in 3D Mario is pretty much a default feature.

I REALLY hope we see the return of Tanooki and Hammer suits...

Align · **Reply #638 on:** April 22, 2011, 05:58:29 PM

Maybe it increases in size as you swing, like his hands and feet did in 64, and gives much better range?

Well, I imagine the tail would have a 360° range, so unless Mario has a spin too in this game that should be enough to make it unique. The extra range idea is nice though.

Hypershell · **Reply #641 on:** April 22, 2011, 07:38:44 PM

Well, it's a minor point either way, just fun to think about. I'm considerably more concerned with whether or not I'll be able to break a Thwomp by dropping a Tanooki-statue on it.

Holy hell, Mario Kart 3D this year too? (Which reminds me, we haven't gotten proper gameplay footage of it yet) Good to see that Capcom isn't the only one releasing promising games early in the 3DS lifespan.

Acid · **Reply #644 on:** April 23, 2011, 01:36:15 AM

So the new system is practically confirmed?

Phi · **Reply #645 on:** April 23, 2011, 01:41:27 AM

I think Nintendo has always said they were "working" on the successor, but never specified further than that.

Hypershell · **Reply #646 on:** April 23, 2011, 04:09:56 AM

Every company is always "working" on a successor, it's just a question of what gets scrapped and what makes it to announcement/release.

And if the Cafe rumors are to be believed, then the 3DS-controller idea sounds good to me. I mean, really, why the hell not? That question was in the back of my head ever since the whole controller-with-a-screen thing first came up. All the 3DS is missing is an extra stick, and some of us barely use those (most intense C-Stick use for me was Command Mission).

More info~

- Miyamoto believes the touch screen has really helped the game out, especially in the Water Temple
- 3D in the cut-scenes
- animations had to be reworked
- shooting options in StarFox that take into account your distance from the target and how it moves
- unsure if the Raccoon or Tanooki suit will be in Super Mario 3D, but one will definitely be there
- a second thumb stick was considered for 3DS, but it was decided against. Miyamoto believes gyroscopic controls, if done right, could account for that

Yes, but Nintendo has been incredibly vague about this one. For instance, they personally said that their next handheld would implement dual screens considerably before it was actually announced publicly. One of the reasons why everyone was anticipating it besides being the offspring of the mighty GBA. I could be wrong, but i believe they hinted at new motion control for the Wii as well.

I mean, i'm pretty sure their at a concrete stance in terms of this new system's processors, (most of at least) capabilities and whatnot. Perhaps their keeping hush because they believe this could be their biggest release yet; who knows.
