"The premise of Joindots' contribution to the genre, Murder on the Titanic, appealed to me very much, not only for reasons just stated, but also because it's been a while since I've played anything investigative in design. Imagine the trouble facing a game like this, though, trying to invigorate a sense of suspense and craft amiable investigation through the Hidden Object model. What irks me most is, not that it's trying to strive for the improbable, but that a good game has been damaged by a host of conspicuous impediments." -- Wiiloveit.com
This week’s new releases on the Nintendo eShop are headlined by the return of Shaun the Sheep. Originally made available on Nintendo 3DS via the Nintendo Video channel, the Shaun the Sheep mini-series is now available for purchase to allow fans to watch whenever they wish in full stereoscopic 3D.
Ahh more games nobody wants to play or asked for on the eshop.
I love my 3DS but the eshop compared to what I can play on my PSP via PSN is just stupid.
Last gen's handheld and I can play PSone era games and yet THIS years 3DS gen and I can only play late 80's NES games and early 90's Game gear, mid 90's GBC games.
Games didn't start offering good content to last you until the SNES/Geneis, yet we can't play these via eshop on 3DS.
Makes no sense.
Nintendo would make millions selling SNES + GBA games.
Sell them for $5-20 for all I care. They will be bought.
DHGF: Murder on the Titanic is a remake of the PC game by the same name. Unfortunately not only was the PC version of the game not very good, but it was still better than the 3DS port. With a lot of the functions and style missing from this version, curious parties should stick to the original, especially as it’s cheaper than the one in the 3DS eShop. For your eight dollars you get an exceptionally linear affair that should take you no more than two hours to get through. Factor in it’s a casual gamer title where the 3DS version is missing the usual bells and whistles that make hidden object/adventure hybrids attractive to that audience and you have to wonder that they were going for with this one. Spend your eight dollars on something better.
Nintendo Life: Imagine, if you will, a tale of two young lovers aboard the infamous ship known as Titanic. The woman, young and from an affluent family, in love with a poor man working as a stoker deep within the bowels of the ship. Sound vaguely like a blockbuster film you’ve seen at least a dozen times? Now add a murder into the mix and a whole lot of double-crossing, and you’ve just about got the plot for Murder on the Titanic.
