U.T. Raptor posted:I wish they'd at least make a 3d version of Ecco: Tides of Time to match the 3d version of the first game already in the 3DS eshop, because Tides of Time is by far the better game. This but Streets of Rage 2, which would then be the best game on the entire eshop.

The Kins posted:You still have to buy dev hardware. It's a lot cheaper than on other platforms, if what I've heard is right, but we're still talking "powerful gaming PC" level pricetags. One look at Steam Greenlight makes me appreciate the barrier of entry tbh. "powerful gaming PC" level pricetag doesn't even sound that much if you're actually serious about developing a game.

You don't necessarily even need to buy a dev kit upfront if you wanna develop for Wii U; if they decide you're not a complete fuckup they can give you a dev unit on consignment and let you pay it off by taking a royalty on your games. If you sign up to make something with NWF (html5/javascript and associated middleware like Construct 2) you can get pretty far without even having a dev kit, but you will need one at some point. The other big money-saver on Wii U is that Nintendo covers the cost of both a Unity Pro license and the publishing fee associated with deploying on consoles, so if you have a Unity game that's running on Wii U it'll cost you very little to release on the eShop. All the current-gen consoles have good Unity deals (or claim to, I don't know that MS's deal is even active yet) but Nintendo's is unambiguously the most generous of the three, which is crazy to think about considering how they sucked for so long. 3DS is different: you absolutely need a dev unit, and there's none of the amateur-friendly middleware that Meme Run-tier developers depend on to crank out bad games, so it's segregated from most of the garbage just by virtue of the fact that it's not really open to anyone who can't write their own code (or afford to hire someone to do it for them). New 3DS does support HTML5 to a limited extent but Nintendo's still not talking about what that means for indies.

I'm selling a $35 Nintendo eShop card for $31.50, if that's a thing that interests anyone.

We already know the contents of the second series: Afterburner, Outrun, Fantasy Zone, Fantasy Zone 2 DX, Thunder Blade. They've been out in Japan for a while now. A third series is dependent on the reception of the retail package in Japan and the sales of the second series internationally.

Last I looked, the retail pack was somewhere on the 30~ position in the weekly sales chart of Japan. Without a number of units sold listed though I have no idea if that's good or bad. At least it's not completely ignored?

Outrunners, Sonic 2, Ecco 2, Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Streets of Rage 2, and Zaxxon would make a wonderful Series 3, if it ever had a chance of happening.

As great as they would be I don't think Sega can release Dynamite Headdy or Gunstar without Treasure's okay (Which I doubt they'd be against doing, but still). But yeah, hell if Series 3 was just Streets of Rage 2 and nothing else I'd be down for that.

Sega owns all that old Treasure stuff; the only games Treasure owns outright are Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun, Bangai-O and GOTY All Years Stretch Panic. They've expressed interest in doing both Gunstar Heroes and Power Drift, an arcade kart racer that ran on the same crazy 2D scaling hardware as Galaxy Force: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eisCeK0HX8A

I'm still pretty pissed Guardian Heroes got stuck in loving XBLA instead of somewhere more sane like Steam. I'd buy Dynamite Headdy 3D, though.

I'm pretty sure Enix at least co-owned the rights to Mischief Makers. What I'm saying is, don't get your hopes up.

There are so many missed opportunities on the 3ds. Any older fps, basically, older racing games, anything polygon based, can you imagine something like Descent on 3ds? There are a lot of good opportunities that devs either are ignoring or are unaware of. This is why I really hope the homebrew scene takes off someday on 3ds, I want to see what awesome stuff gets ported to 3d.

Absolutely. Doom really holds up, and would be amazing with 3D. It even has sprite-based enemies (assuming PC version rather than Doom 64) so I can't imagine it would be too hard from a technical standpoint. Personally I'm also baffled as to why there haven't been more entries in the "3D Classics" line. Like, I got my 3DS relatively late, and just assumed I could buy a 3D version of Super Mario Bros. but nope.

The previous owner or somebody in the store could well have used the codes. In fact it's probably pretty likely that they did. If you want codes you're better off buying new.

First used game I bought had the code and it worked. Assumed the codes could be used more than once but in hindsight that would be terrible People would just post them online. Dammit I just redid my gamestop bullshit too
