I'll have to see if I still have the files where me and her were exchanging our rewrites so I can remember. It feels like it's been so long since then!

*XERO* · 06-16-2010, 11:00 PM

I bet it was like Top Ten Sailor Moon Transformations or Top Ten Skeletor Quotes.

*Ninjinister* · 06-16-2010, 11:15 PM

So um... yeah...

What was the biggest surprise, in your books, of E3?

Mine was a toss-up between Kirby's Epic Yarn, and the fact that the 3DS didn't look like utter s**t.

I had been hoping to hear more about the Wii Kirby game, but I was hoping it was the same one that had started production on the Gamecube all those years ago. Granted, I'm going to miss what could have been, but Epic Yarn, well, seems to be living up to its name. As a big Kirby fan, I am very excited for this, and dammit, it's the cutest f***ing thing I've seen in a long time.

I was hoping to really, really, really hate the 3DS. It took me a long time to warm up to the DS to begin with, and what with not even owning a DS for a year now, I can't say I was looking forward to a new one coming out. But the games, the graphics, the possibilities... all of it just floored me. I'm not completely sold on getting one right away, but DAMN is it tempting.

*Cure* · 06-16-2010, 11:27 PM

I think the most exciting part for me is the 3DS, especially after reading all the positive impressions. The 3D pictures look great, apparently.

DK, Kirby, and Rayman all look awesome to me. THANK YOU STREET FIGHTER 4, AMIRITE?

I want the Sly Collection, as well as Heroes on the Move, but not sure if I want a Move. Twisted Metal looks cool, though.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-17-2010, 12:22 AM

I'm sober now. All of my comments stand though. Lady Gaga bailed on fu*king on Activision and showed up at the Capcom booth playing Dead Rising -- where I was. She's my goddamn hero.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-17-2010, 01:34 PM

this is likely redundent, but did Nintendo mention whether or no the 3DS is backwards compatible with all DS games?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-17-2010, 03:47 PM

Yes, and yes.

*Samhain* · 06-17-2010, 05:51 PM

The 3ds! Yes! And Kirby's Epic Yarn looks so great. Such a cool concept. I love how the gameplay folds out. Really excited to get it.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-17-2010, 10:38 PM

well, i'm hoping i can demo a 3DS first before i make the purchase but that's not likely

*Cure* · 06-17-2010, 10:50 PM

I'm almost positive game stores will have them up a bit before release.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-17-2010, 11:22 PM

hope so. but my local EB Games doesn't seem like they'll be that generous

*Powder* · 06-18-2010, 11:13 PM

I never had any version of the DS but I was thinking to maybe get one around the holidays (though the thought of saving a few bucks and getting one this summer crossed my mind) & I am so glad I didn't. I was a little weary about the 3DS thinking "sure, they've remade the DS so many times what would it matter if I got an older model?" but seriously, it looks great. I suppose I will hold out for it!

It would matter a lot if you wanted to, you know, play new games.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-19-2010, 04:09 AM

Back home and dead tired. Greatest week of my life.

Don't. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy a DS.

**Shredder** · 06-20-2010, 01:42 AM

Buy a DS, Powder. Any version. You won't regret it.

*Ninjinister* · 06-23-2010, 12:01 AM

Yeah, if the 3DS is anything like Nintendo's other handhelds, there's going to be something, even small and insignificant, that is going to get left out that you may still enjoy that was in the previous iteration. That's why I always have my big brick Game Boy, GBC, and GBA as well as my DS.

I guess the next step for you, Powder, is to determine which DS is right for you. I personally like the DS Lite, as it allows me to use the e-Reader (whereas the standard DS did not, without heavy modification).

And did I just hear the return of Donkey Kong Country? WHAAAAAAT? Any word if Wise got tapped for the soundtrack?

Kenji Yamamoto is doing it this time around, according to wiki. I would give up alot of things to see Wise return.
