What are you complaining about? That's bloody reasonable! I was expecting another 50 tacked on to both prices... the 3DS is in some real trouble now! I bet there'll be another serious redesign of it (ala DS Lite) within the next 9 months.
That looks awesome. The standard of games for the DS just keeps getting more and more impressive. Isn't Infinite Line coming out next year? Seems like I've been waiting for that game for about two years now. One for the Christmas list....
Bronco mentioned Jagged Alliance 2... Gamespot had this story today, or yesterday or something. Apparently a movie is being made? Jagged Alliance Movie Do not want. They do talk about the upcoming DS port though. I'd sell my unicorn for that.
It wouldn't be unused, I dont mean put the keyboard on the top screen when required, I mean go DS style and have the keybaord area be another touch screen. You avoid localisation issues since the keyboard can be ANYTHING it needs to be.
Day 0. This looks fantastic. Hopefully nintendo steps up the entire Wii U game selection as much as they did the DS then 3DS. Slow start but it looks like they have some great software coming down the line. Still can't wait for Smash.
Bought 2 XL DS for me and my girlfriend when Animal crossing came out here in japan thinking it would be nice to play something together, now she runs both and spends 2 hours a day just watering the flowers, (-o-;)
Moga controllers came in the mail today. They set me up with the Pro controller and two of the regular controllers. What awesome people! Looking forward to developing with these and working with them on marketing! They feel awesome, very much like holding a Nintendo DS or PS Vita.
finally completed deamons souls last week end, did a bit of new game+, but not in the mood to replay the whole game again.. thinking of getting DS today, hope 2h uchigatana and a fuckload of stamina for dat rolling is a solid strat this time around as well!
[ QUOTE ] also: cel-shading. not cell. [/ QUOTE ]Isn't a reference to animation cells, therefore Cell Shading? As for the future of side scrollers, I'd say we're going to see quite a few come out on the PSP and DS. Its a good genre for hand-helds.
For really low stuff - DS spec, for example - it might be a trade-off between precious extra polygons or precious lost texture space (and, obviously lighting), depending on the model. Either way, it's a generally accepted technique but it's something you might want to bear in mind.
