Some asked about SMT x FE in the roundtable for the new IntSys 3DS game, and apparently it still exists.

I don't know. A multiplayer mode where you compete to throw fruit into a blender, and full customization and costumes and poo poo for multiplayer. It has promise.

I think he has literally made 1 game since NGDS.

NGII came out after NGDS and I think that was the last thing he worked on.

I know one bone in my body that works.
Page late, but if you wanna play Kid Icarus Uprising, try to pick up that old lanyard that Nintendo used to sell for the DS. It makes the weirdo control scheme actually a breeze to play with since the thumb strap essentially just turns the touchscreen into a really large right control stick.

They're kind of hard to find now I think though, so good luck with that.

Didn't he get fired halfway through development for being a lecherous jerk, though?

I think it's probably fair to say his input is what kept it from being a completely terrible game, seeing as Team Ninja seemed to fall off a loving cliff after that game.

It really was and they should remake it for Wii U, or at least release the original on the new 3DS VC.

For Uprising I just used my right thumb on the face buttons for aiming, left thumb on the stick for moving, and the trigger for shooting. I didn't find it that bad at all, personally.

They did just release a few older games on the Wii U VC without telling anyone: Famicom Pac-Land and some GBA compilation that probably sucks.

The GBA Compilation is actually perfectly acceptable. Especially at the lowered price its at now (When its at the regular price it might not be worth it.)

You've got Pac-Attack, Pac-Mania, Pac-Man (Available in fit to screen mode or Scrolling mode a la GB Pac-Man) and the best game in the set, Pac-Man Arrangement (The 1996 one, not the mediocre PSP one.)

It also makes buying the NES version of Pac-Man completely pointless. So its a good deal at $4.89.

drat, too bad you have to buy a specific 2DS SKU/bundle from Walmart in order to get that $40 Walmart gift card. $70 off a 2DS would be an incredible deal. Walmart does accept competitor's coupons, don't they? It's a REAL long shot, but I wonder if they'd accept that one.

Alternatively, if you want to be a real scumbag along the likes of couponing mommies, you could probably buy one color 2DS from Best Buy with the coupon, not open it, and bring it to Walmart after "losing your receipt" to exchange it for a different color and maybe still get that $40 gift card?
Tried doing this at Wal-mart a couple months back with one of those $35 pink & white 3ds XL price fuckups from K-mart. No go, Wal-mart tracks whether serialized items, such as 3ds's, were purchased from them.

Just hit the home button during a game, go to make a post and there'll be a screenshot button when you're typing/drawing. Works the same way on the 3DS.

There are some games that don't let you do it though, but the only ones I can think of are Monster Hunter 3 and Pokemon X/Y.

I looks really good. I remember playing them in the Mario 3D world and was hoping they'd make more DLC levels. Turning it into a fully featured game is a welcome surprise.
