MapleStory 3DS Downsizes Cute MMORPG Into Single-Player Fun (TGS Hands-On | GameRevolution)

"MapleStory: Unmei no Shoujo ("The Girl of Fate" or "Destiny's Girl" or "Destiny's Child")for 3DS was at first an exclusive to South Korea, where MapleStory proper enjoys perhaps its most dedicated following. We found out at the Tokyo Game Show that the game will be coming to Japan at some point in 2014. The showfloor demo gave us a look at what seems to be a good transition from PC to 3DS." -GR

If the Nintendo Switch trailer looked a little familiar, it's not Déjà vu.

Nintendo's Switch Reveal trailer is almost shot for shot remake of the "A Day With PlayStation" ad from Sony's Pre-TGS Press Conference 2013.

Eerily similarl. Lots of repeating motiffs

Don't say that, Nintendo only does unique things, they are the really pioneers in the video-game industry, just look at all the new IPs they made in the last decade... or 2 decades... wait. not the best example. /s off. I think the NX will sell around the same amount as the WiiU sold, when it was announced it was the holy grail to, the rabid Nintendo Fanatics are great hyping stuff, but they just aren't enough to make a console successful, I was hoping to jump to Nintendo with the NX, I was really thinking they would learn and go back to a more traditional Nintendo console, powerful and with some great new games on top of some Good Mario games, but I get no SNES or Nintendo 64 vibes with this NX, I get vibes of a WiiU 2.0 or PS4+Vita remote play....

to each his own dude .. if nintendo has fans it's for a reason they make good games, no need to call anyone rabbid or whatever i enjoy their games as i enjoy other consoles.

Just like your comments.

Lol, it's good that you have a good sense of humor in this.

Hoffmann2737d ago

I upvoted your comment because it is so good!

McToasty2072737d ago

Of course if your way behind the competition follow what the market leaders doing and if possible do it better, that's clearly what Switch is attempting the same interconnectivity Sony promised with the PS4 and Vita but having it truly be one platform.

Tokyo Game Show, and why Japan isn’t ready for next-gen home consoles

Edge:September’s Tokyo Game Show offered the first chance for Japanese players to get their hands on next-gen hardware as well as a larger selection of mobile and social games than has ever filled the Makuhari Messe before. It was a show packed with evidence of handheld gaming usurping home consoles in the region, and of new niches opening up.
