Wiiloveit.com: Five Reasons to Watch the 3DS in 2012

"A year ago, we took a look at our most anticipated titles for the then-upcoming 3DS. Since then, the console has seen its release into the world and has certainly resulted in an eventful year. While Nintendo's newest handheld may not be completely out of the woods yet, with a catalogue of great games already out -- both at retail and on the eShop -- along with a large list of interesting upcoming titles, the 3DS' second year is looking to deliver a lot more fun. I've picked out five titles on their way that get me most excited. I hope you'll agree that with games like these, we are in for a treat over the next year." -- Wiiloveit.com

Reason 1: ... WHATHOKMSDFOM ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON 3D?!

Wiiloveit4402d ago

Lol. Yeah, it's definitely exciting to say the least. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up.

GamePodunk4402d ago

There's definitely some great stuff coming to 3DS this year. My most wanted so far is Paper Mario 3DS (and Fire Emblem: Awakening if that ever comes over to North America), but I'm also looking forward to Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis Open and the others; especially that mystery Donkey Kong 3D game.

I have Fire Emblem Fates LE, the European one. Not sure if it's as valuable as the US version, but it certainly was in high demand.

Chevalier83d ago

Don't think the European one would be as valuable since it's not region free. I got mine box and all and all those Yokai Watch games

Nyxus83d ago

I also have some of the Yokai Watch games, but also the PAL versions which don't seem to be that valuable.

Chocoburger83d ago

Its not often I actually have games on the 'most expensive list' but I do own Rhythm Thief and Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I believe both of them are sealed as well.

Chevalier83d ago

Nice! Hopefully they re-release the Layton games on the Switch. Surprised they haven't already

Why call the next installment of a franchise on their latest console a “treatment?”

Lightning Mr Bubbles2360d ago

True, I'd say a good portion of these are pretty much guaranteed to happen. Luigi's Manson I'm not so sure about. Donkey Kong possibly, but DK Country series was like way back in the SNES Days, I loved it but I haven't played a good DK game since then. That's a long time ago. Excite and Super Princess Peach or whatever are pretty doubtful I think.

Smokingunz2360d ago

Donkey kong country was on the 3ds and the wii u genius smh. Also luigis mansion 3 was announced for the switch before it even came out. U are so out of tune dude its not even funny

Lightning Mr Bubbles2360d ago (Edited 2360d ago )

@Smokingunz

You're right about Donkey Kong Country, There's DK Country Returns for Wii/3DS and Tropical Freeze for WiiU/3DS. I wasn't into Nintendo at all during the whole Wii era, so I didn't realize the series had such current installments.

Either way, they don't look nearly as good as the ones for SNES. The SNES Donkey Kong Country games had amazing realistic graphics for that time. These new installments look like C level games. They should really step it up and give Donkey Kong Country AAA level treatment for the Switch if they want to revive it.

deafdani2359d ago

Lightning Mr Bubbles: trust me, Tropical Freeze (which is available only on Wii U, not 3DS, btw) has a superb art direction. It looks fantastic.

F-zero. None of these clones like fast RMX are gunna cut it for me.

Moonman2360d ago

I agree, the clones lack personality. A sequel to F-Zero GX equipped with another story mode would be awesome. Captain Falcon needs more story. And he with the series, could become more popular if Nintendo allows it.

EddieNX 2360d ago

GX was the last futuristic racer I really cared about and the it was perfect! It had the charm, the cut scenes, the customization and quality you expect.

Fast RMX is good but that's about it. It isn't epic F-zero level at all!

Smokingunz2360d ago

I dont see f zero coming back, the last game was terrible. Nintendo handed thr developemnt to seag and thry screwed it up. The last good f zero gsme i played was on the n64, the gsmecube version was garbage. If nintendo do it thrmselves mabye.

I love Super Mario Maker. The next game needs even more customization. Every single item, enemy, boss and level backgrounds need to show up. But Mario 64 Maker is the dream. Lol

Just make a goddamn pokemon game

The Sticky, Paint-Soaked Fall of Paper Mario

It’s always hard to watch a beloved series fall on hard times. It’s even harder still when the problems holding it back are glaring and should have been as easy to spot as Godzilla stomping through a nitroglycerin plant. Alas, for one reason or another, crippling problems either manage to go unnoticed or disguise themselves as a game’s main selling point. Most often it’s a new feature that sounds exciting on paper, but winds up a disappointment in practice. Case and point, the slow yet drastic decline of the Paper Mario series.

"new features that sounds exciting on paper". Nice little pun.

PhoenixUp2384d ago

Sticker Star was a tearable Paper Mario game

LgbtWarrior2384d ago

Highly disagree. Got great reviews and was highly polished.

Outlawzz2384d ago

Sticker star was horrible I hated it but I liked color splash and feel it didn't get the attention it deserved. Color splash and super paper Mario might not be like the old rpg paper Mario's but that doesn't mean they can't be fun, you just have to have an open mind

LgbtWarrior2384d ago (Edited 2384d ago )

I love the paper Mario series they are not anywhere near bad games sticker star was awesome. Just because you don’t Level up like a traditional rpg doesnt mean the game sucked. get over it.

SR3882384d ago

Colour splash was a fantastic entry ... Shame bugger all got to play it, one of the last great on WiiU
