A lot to love in this week's releases.
It’s been a while since Nintendo has given 3DS owners a good reason to visit the Nintendo eShop, but that looks to change this week with a couple of fantastic releases this week.
What happens when you add a little RPG to the Dynasty Warriors formula?
Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll is exactly the kind of game that you would expect from the makers of the Dynasty Warriors franchise – no more, no less. It’s unfortunate that I can’t simply end my review right here because there isn’t much else to say about the game beyond that opening sentence. Unfortunately the powers that be at PixlBit have requested that I elaborate on exactly what that opening statement means, and while that may seem unreasonable I am nothing if not a good sport.
Matt takes an extensive look at Mario’s first console outing, Super Mario Bros.
I have a pet peeve that goes along the lines of this sentence: “It’s good, for its time.”
Matt takes an in-depth look at each Mario game.
You don’t have to tell me that I am a year late. I already know that. Mario’s 25th Anniversary has already come and gone, and Nintendo’s other big franchise is celebrating its 25th this year: namely, the Legend of Zelda. Yet you already know that by now, so you are probably asking this question right now: “Matt, what the hell? Why are you doing a Mario retrospective when you could be writing about Zelda?”
3DS owners can look forward to Monster Hunter 4, Mario Tennis, and Fire Emblem.
Last night, Nintendo hosted a 3DS-centric press conference that revealed a variety of new games, details on existing titles, and a number of release dates and windows. The leaked peripheral that will feature a second circle pad wasn't featured at the show, though details were revealed officially by Nintendo on their website. Monster Hunter 3 G, which will utilize the peripheral, was showcased in depth, and its sequel, Monster Hunter 4 was officially revealed for the 3DS and teased with a short trailer.
