Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D is an excellent launch window game to get kids interested itching to get a 3DS early. It’s a combination of game types. You’re able to explore and adventure, have the ability to collect items and learn new dinosaur facts, and throughout your adventure you’ll run into an enemy whom your dinosaur will then be pitted up against in a fight.
The Nintendo 3DS launch library isn't the strongest we've seen in years. What launch window titles should gamers avoid at all costs?
Nintendogs, Dead or Alive and Street Fighter will definitely be awesome! Steel Diver, Resident Evil and Pilotwings show some promise.. I hope they're great too. PES and Madden have had positive hands on reception: They will be good no doubt. Super Mario Land & Zelda: Link's Awakening DX are available on Virtual Console in 3D.
^ I think that's a decent selection.
It's a very decent selection, though I'm not completely sold on Steel Diver just yet. There's another top 5 list featuring the 3DS games that day one buyers should definitely keep an open for, and a couple of the ones you mentioned are on that list.
Hmm...tough question. I'd basically just list half-baked ports/lame casual games...but I'm biased to that. I despise casual games. Go walk into a Gamestop and look at the DS section. What you see will haunt you forever...
Honestly, regardless of what I think are boring games, other might like them. Ex: Nintendogs/SteelDiver
While me(action buff) will lean to SSFIV3D and KH:3D
The list is pretty weak on the month it comes out and most of the better games come out next month after it comes out.
Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D is a "launch window" 3DS game from Ubisoft Montreal, who have worked on numerous Combat of Giants games over the past few years. The series is aimed at kids, and because of that, the gameplay is somewhat lacking in depth. However, it's actually a cool little game with Punch-Out!!-inspired combat.
Dinosaurs!
In 3D!
What's not to like?
Seriously though, I loved me some dinosaurs when I was young. What kid didn't?
Been waiting 20 years for this.
Having only heard the title thus far, I hadn't realized that this was an actual fighting game. I'm going to have to at least check it out.
