no how

like either would approve this...

unless ms n nintendo are merging sigh

Blacktric5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

Seriously it'd be more appropriate if article said PS3 version. No way that Nintendo would allow for something like this.

Edit: I think rather than connecting 3DS to the 360 directly, 3DS version will provide you with some codes for the things you do in the game. So that you can enter those codes to an ingame menu for Xbox 360 version and get those extras.

Christopher5469d ago

It's either codes or a separate dedicated server that allows you to synch your DS account with your 360 account. But, regardless, if they could do this for the 360, there's no way they wouldn't also do it for the PS3.

There's no way it's going to happen utilizing just Nintendo hardware/software, though.

Sitdown5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

why do you guys feel that this is impossible...and/or more appropriate if it was ps3. 1.)Microsoft does not have a "handheld" gaming console, so there really is not a problem with this concerning competition. 2.)Did Microsoft not allow THQ to partner with RARE and publish Viva Pinatas for the DS?

AAACE55469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

You guys do remember Blue Dragon was released on DS right? So why would something like this be impossible?

You guys should consider the fact that maybe these companies don't hate each other as much as you think! Wouldn't it be crazy if they were all working together to make us pick sides and shift momentum back and forth. And this whole fanboy thing is just making people look stupid!

Back on topic: The 3DS is looking to be a great system! They just keep getting more games.

It reminds me of Republicans vs. Democrats. Or WCW vs. NWO.

how the hell this is gonna happen at the first place? But I am kinda happy that it will :P

halocursed5469d ago

Nintendo set to rule the world!!!

SpoonyRedMage5469d ago

I was surprised by this but apparently it was MS that stopped Rare making Viva Pinata DS able to connect to the 360 title.

It has been pointed out that it could connect to a THQ website or something.

DrierofLeaves5469d ago

That the 3DS could connect with the 360 via USB or something. I mean, I'm pretty sure the 3DS will have some form of USB connectivity. Maybe you have to have the game inserted in the 3DS slot, and SR3 in the 360 drive, and connect the two devices via USB?

DrierofLeaves5469d ago

Now why would you say something like that when all evidence points towards the contrary being the case?

ElementX5469d ago

3DS is going to be junk? When over 125 million people bought the DS? Pull your head out of your ass. Admit defeat for Sony and the PSP. PSP2 is dead before it even hits the shelves. Nintendo is king of the portable console business. Sony is king of the home console business. Well, I guess Wii did sell more, but I still consider Sony to be king of consoles.

Highly underrated GTA 5 rival is cheaper than a McDonald’s meal on Steam

The wait for GTA 6 is painful, but for less than $6 you can pass the time with the overhated Saints Row reboot on your Steam Deck right now.

This was free on something at some point, so I decided to check it out. It's definitely properly rated.

Here I thought I'd never have to be reminded of that slop again

Concord and the Other Biggest Flops of This Generation

Some of the biggest success stories in the history of gaming have happened during this generation of gaming. At the same time, some of the biggest flops in the history of gaming have also happened during this generation of gaming. To this end, a few games particularly stick out as, unfortunately, disastrous flops for those who made the games, sold the games, and ultimately, for many that played the games.

What a strange, short list. There have been many more games that arrived DOA, were never released, didn’t make their budget back, etc. Why cherry pick these games? Is this list based on the size of internet hate boners?

EternalTitan286d ago

These flops have a similarity that you may not be allowed to point out.

Skull and Bones gets my vote, at this point just completely remake AC Black Flag. If the Concord developers had made the game free to play, and toned down the in your face messaging via the mods and design choices, this game could have been serviceable eventually. I never understand why pandering to 5% of your audience and giving the finger to the other 95% seems like a good idea to these people. They never seem to learn. Disney has lost 1/3rd of its value and they keep doubling down on political messaging. I don’t get it.

BlackTar187286d ago

Some of these companies are paid huge amounts of money to do this stuff. They get truck loads of money to give “the message”
By blackrock and vanguards and multiple other venture capitalists even though it’s been proven over and over they fail.

Saints Row - Where it All Began

Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.

banger88468d ago

Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.

kevco33467d ago

Or an angry purple streak in their hair to demonstrate they're a rebel.

SimpleSlave467d ago

And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.

So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍

Outstanding!

PhillyDonJawn467d ago

They should remaster the first 2.

1nsomniac467d ago

I think the first one was the best in the series by a long, long way!

Demetrius467d ago

🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh

TheColbertinator466d ago

First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.

Profchaos466d ago (Edited 466d ago )

But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that

TheColbertinator466d ago

The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.
