Capcom gives status update on Mega Man VC games
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
We’re still waiting for a number of Mega Man titles on the Virtual Console. As an example, Mega Man II and III for Game Boy still aren’t out on the western eShops as of yet.
There’s no set date for any of the upcoming VC games, but Capcom’s Brett Elston did share an update over on the company’s official forums.
He said:
Sonic Team head acknowledges how there was a “struggle in 3D Sonic games”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Sonic’s transition from 2D to 3D was less than ideal. Not all 3D Sonic games have been terrible, but it wasn’t until we saw releases such as Sonic Lost World and Sonic Unleashed that the series began to hits its stride once again.
Speaking with Nintendo Life, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka did acknowledge that “there was a struggle in 3D Sonic games.” He said:
“Yes there was a struggle in 3D Sonic games. From the 1st 3D type Sonic game Sonic Adventure, we tried various levels and environment in 3D. This is because we felt there is more possibility for improvement in 3D type Sonic. So in Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, we added new gameplay on top of the existing Sonic titles to make a high quality game.”
Iizuka also commented on Dimps’ dedication in creating a fully realized 3D Sonic title on 3DS in Sonic Lost World:
“One feature in Sonic Lost World is 360 degrees action, so the challenge on 3DS was to apply this 3D action game in 360 degrees action like in Wii U. Of course we couldn’t make it exactly the same, but by using the same texture as Wii U, applying the twisted levels, how you see and feel should be very close to the experience you get from Wii U version.”

[REVIEW] Cut the Rope (3DS eShop)
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Features, Platforms, Reviews | 1 Comment
System: Nintendo 3DS
Release Date: September 20th, 2013
Developer: Zeptolab
Price: $9.99
Author: Jack
Ever go to prom? Remember the overwhelming tension and excitement surrounding the build-up to the big day? Rushing to get a last-minute suit vest the same hue as your beloved sweetie pie’s dress, making sure that painful last payment on your limousine rental went through, flipping through your anthology for the optimal Ja Rule record on the way there to set the mood just right… ah, I can almost feel it as though it were yesterday. In fact, my prom was yesterday (I’m in the Navy), and the most vivid memory I have of that fateful eve was getting my mullet trimmed and cut into a bowl cut earlier that afternoon.
While there’s surely no surrogate to be had for a proper trim and cut, with the recent release of Cut the Rope from hitherto unknown Russian developer ZeptoLab, you can now come close to replicating the same pleasurable feeling I experienced at the hands of the barber in the comfort of your home with your 3DS stylus. At a price of $9.99 (compared to the lousy $17 run-around deal I got for a pretty standard bowl shape), Cut the Rope checks off every box a figurative contemporary downloadable game assimilates, and through sheer content and professionalism, releases as one of the most polished and notable puzzle titles to be consumed on the 3DS eShop. Om Nom.
