If you want play without moving much and just chilling on the couch I'd suggest buying Monster Hunter TRI and a Classic Controller
The Nintendo Thread

-
The only thing the Wii is good for other than firmware.
!
Otherwise it's a paperweight.
-
Of course! By pass all the previous games mentioned just to pick up a mediocre rhythm title with more effort put into the DRM than the actual gameplay!
-
Oh wow, how could we forget? Yeah, the Wii is worth buying for that game alone. Whether you're a fan of MJ, a fan of pop music, a fan of pedophilia, or someone who jumps onto every bandwagon they see, this game is for you.
-
Still have a gamecube controller, so i'm planning to use that.
I didn't really like Monster Hunter on the psp, i could never really get into it.
Is this Monster Hunter better? -
Well this was my first Monster Hunter ever and I enjoy it, especially the Online Mode.
But if you played before a title of this series and didn't get into it I don't know if it is worth buying.I also enjoy playing the Trauma Center series.
It's something like a surgery simulation.
-
Oh no, not a game where you move!
@Big_Bad_Lith:Oh wow, how could we forget? Yeah, the Wii is worth buying for that game alone.
I don't recall saying Wii was worth buying.
It just made it worth not kicking mine off a cliff.

So the 3DS Update was delayed again … USA gets it on 6/6 and Japan 7/6 ... no date for Europe (at least I've found none)
the hell !? -
Europe gets it on the 7th as well.
-
Update for what?
-
Update for what?
Adds the E-Shop (Virtual Console, DSiWare, Demos, Videos) and the Internet browser.
-
Bout time they got around to adding that.

yea have to agree. nintendo should have waited till e3 to release the 3ds. then it could have had these features to start, and more importantly a BETTER launch line up.
while i'm usually all game for a system being out earlier and FREE features being added later, this is the one time i wish a console would have been delayed. the launch games IMO were pathetic. I have a $25 gift card basically from amazon to spend on one of these launch games by the end of june for pre-ordering the 3ds. I'm not sure if i'm going to use it ever. i'm really hoping that it can maybe apply to new games coming out like zelda in june. But otherwise, unless i can get one of those launch games for 25 or less and it still lets me use that $25 i don't see me wasting the $10 for any of those games.
THe only game that seems worth buying to me is street fighter, but i'm not a huge street fighter genre fan. The rest seem like they are just tech demos, or else they got just horrible reviews, like star wars lego. I do like srpg's, like that one game, but i'm a fantasy fan, and not a fan of modern shooters. if it were like fire emblem or like a future sci-fi setting, then i would be all over it. but i don't like just current warfare type games. that samurai game seems like a game i would like to play WITH OTHERS, and thus is out. i like playing those types with people sitting in same room as me and having fun.
so really i was kind of looking at those 4 games.
1. street fighter - not a huge fighting fan, more of a smash fan and a dbz tenkaichi fan
2. tom clancy's ghost recon - as said, love the genre, hate the setting
3. samurai warriors - like those games to be played with others in person having fun
4. lego star wars - have only heard bad things about this game5. pilot wings, steel diver, super monkey ball, and others to me feel like quick ports, games, ect whatever you want to call them. more like tech demoes, first gen game feel to them. like not a complete game and just wanting to be a launch game.
-
I haven't played my 3DS in weeks. I think my Nintendog must be starved to death.
-
Well we get a free game for waiting so long.
At least that's what I heard (some kind of motorbike game, nothing special but hey, it's for free).But I got to agree with Hinscher, Nintendo should have wait with the 3DS release untill everything is ready.
Reminds me a little bit of the Internet channel thing on the Wii … first, we had to pay 500 NP and then Nintendo thinks "Hey, it's a basic tool from the Wii let's make it free!" or something ... OK, you've gotten the 500 NP back but that sucked. -

OK, you've gotten the 500 NP back but that sucked.the internet on the wii was free to download like the first 6 months.
i knew they started to charge for the download at some point, but its free again now? cool. i know at some point i was going to download on my parents, but it cost like 500 points or something so i was like screw that and didn't download. but your saying now it free again?
-
yeah it's free again.
I paid 500NP but got them back after they made it free.
Just check it out but I'm pretty sure they keep it free. -

At least that's what I heard (some kind of motorbike game, nothing special but hey, it's for free).Excitebike. A pretty awesome game from the nes. I still need to get Excitebike 64 actually…
-
Excitebike for free? I don't mind the wait.
So is the Virtual Console for the 3DS going to be stuff ported from the Wii's VC library or is it going to be a Gameboy VC? Or both?
-
Found something on a German gaming site:
- 3DS Ware - Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype, Petitcom
- 3D Classics - Excitebike, Legend of Zelda, Xevious
- Virtual Console GameBoy - Ikari no Yousai, Phantasm
- Virtual Console Game Gear - Sonic & Tails 2, Sonic Drift 2, Dragon Crystal, Columns
- Virtual Console GameBoy Color - Super Mario Land, The Legend of Zelda DX (Demo)
- Demos - 3D Video Player, 3D Game Trailer/Previews Channel, Fuji TV, Nippon TV Previews

It's for Japan obviously but I guess it's something like the US/European lineup

@Hinscher - I bought SSFIV and a 3DS from amazon, so they gave me a 10 and 25 dollar gift certificates. but it was only on launch games, like you said. So I though "Hell. I've never played a ridge racer game, and the only complaint is that it is the exact same game as before. but having never played one, I will not see that flaw." and bought Ridge Racer. For some reason it was completely free, and no shipping.
I don't know how that worked, but a free game is a free game. It should arrive next week.

well yea, thats what i'm looking at. i have till end of june to purchase a game.
its hard to basically toss out a $25 gift card, but then i think do i really want any of those games for $15? if i can get one for free, then its a for sure what the hell why not. but otherwise i don't allow coupons to make me spend money. Its like when you get a booklet and its like $1000 or savings in here. Oh yea sure, if you buy $10000 worth of stuff. I don't buy stuff i don't want just to save money on that item. if an items value to me is $0. Then i don't care if it was originally $100 and i can get it $10. its still $10 to much.
Out of the launch games, i think the only game i would like to play would have been star wars lego, but i have heard as i said nothing but bad things about it. thus i'll not waste money and wait for good games. i just can't see me playing any of those games longer than a few hours. to me thats not worth $15. I will save that $15 for a game i want. I might miss out on the $25 gift card, but saving $15 by not buying them is like getting a $15 gift card towards future purchase. And this $15 has no restrictions on any game, or hell anything i want. could even be a cheeseburger.

Problem with Star Wars Lego is that the PS3, 360 and Wii versions are better than it.
If you can get Pilotwings or Samurai Warriors then its totally worth it imo. Both are great games.
-
I've really got to say - Pilotwings is possibly the worst and most unfinished full-price Nintendo game I've played in a long long time.
-
You didn't play Steel Diver or Nintendogs then?
-

I dare not.
At least some decent games are on their way though. Was tempted with Starfox but offline? Nope.
-
I realised I have Lylat Wars downloaded to my Wii. No reason to get it. But OoT. DO WANT.
-
Game boy, Game boy color, Turbographix, NES and SNES and that's I've heard about. I don't if Yoshi Island is on the VC on the wii but it's coming to 3DS with some new added content and stuff. I might get LoZ just for the fact I've never played it far in.

Unless their remaking Yoshi's Island I don't think it will have new content especially if there's nothing to add to the game that wasn't added in the sequel.
-
NES and SNES? really?
I believe so. But under the section of "Classic games" but here's the article http://nintendo3dsblog.com/12-more-classic-titles-coming-to-the-nintendo-3ds. And apparently they aren't just remakes but whatever. I also don't know if they're going to release any other NES or SNES games.

Why on Earth are we not getting GBA games?
-
Why on Earth are we not getting GBA games?
Um because you can play GBA games on your 1st & 2nd gen DS systems?
-
So…?
You can't play them on a 3DS/iXL
They'll probably put them out later like with the NEOGEO and C64 Virtual Console games.
-
They stop making GBAs and DS. DSi is next in lineup and then we can't play them. Point black, we need a GBA virtual console,
-
I would agree with that notion if Nintendo wasn't still making Lites but since they are I see no rush to add GBA games to the virtual comsole for the moment.
-
It doesn't matter if there's a device available that can play them, the fact of the matter is with the 3DS released GBA has become two generations old. That's like saying PS1 games shouldn't have been added to the PSN because the readily available PS2 (tho the PS3 can play PS1 games too) could play them.
GameStop even clearenced out GBA over this past year so with the exception of shopping online, you don't have many options to purchase GBA games. Good ones, at least.
-
Who says we aren't getting GBA games in the future?
Sadly most of my GBA games were ports of snes games. Would be nice to play Minish Cap, Advance Wars, Fire Emblem & Golden Sun again….but I own a SP anyways so.
Over in the UK I don't think I've seen a GBA game since about a year after they released the DS. Makes me sad :< I still remember getting a GBA a month before actual release (I think I pre-ordered and they sent a Japanese version.), having to sit awkwardly to get it in the light. And the long month of playing Wario Land 3 and Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle 3 while awaiting the first games....but I did get Tony Hawks 2 and Bomberman on real release day which I enjoyed.

Truth be told I don't know too many people who wanna use the PS3 to play the PS1's library of games as opposed to the PS2's and we all know the story there.

It was a good 2 or 3 years until they stopped appearing in stores for sure.
I remember seeing this about for ages and that was 2006.
When did Woolworths close down again? They still had a fair few GBA games in there when that went.
-
Woolworths never had GBA games up here lol. But I think it shut down in mmmmm 2008? Maybe 2007
-
Made a great deal today:
A shop had this week a "2 games for 50 Euro" offer and I bought "Professor Layton and the Lost Future" (DS) and "Donkey Kong Country Returns" (Wii).
Thanks to that special offer I saved 35 Euros (going by the shop's prices for the price if I had bought them seperate).
Hell even if I had bought them on amazon.de I had payed 20 bucks more.So great deal, weekend is safe :D
-

They did stop production. Only DSi now, with no GBA slot.
but screw GBA, I want to play some virtual boy games. And by "virtual boy games" I mean "wario land".
-
do i have to wait for the update to spend my coins to get the other 3 AR boxes?
-
Interesting but most likely fake rumored list of games to be shown at E3
http://nintendoscene.com/2011/05/15/project-cafe-leaked-games-list/
EDIT: Definitely fake
-
Legend of Paper Zelda
I stopped right there. That would just be completely stupid.
-
Has there ever been a year, in which these rumoured E3 game lists turned out to be true?… No.
Shouldn't be too much longer until someone decides to print his shitty dream list, make a low quality picture of it and lots of fools will fall for it again. -
I remember falling for the Mushroom Kingdom Hearts rumor. And that got me really hyped too…
-
Mushroom Kingdom Hearts
I knew that was a fake from the moment I saw the mockup in an April issue of EGM.

Hey guys! Remember all those awesome pre-order bonuses we saw for OOT like carry cases, ocarinas, tins, badges etc. Well when you pre-order in the UK you'll get…....a card sleeve and a poster.....
Nice to see the UK once again being screwed over in terms of pre-order bonuses. I bet America'll get something like a gold plated cartridge with free Link figurine or something.
