        Going off recent trends you'd get a handful of titles making it over due to the raised profile but many of them seem to fail at PAL release as the only audience that was interested had already imported them. That said, I might still be hurting from the low sales of PAL Red Seeds Profile

          Most important part of this review is this - "the truth is some moves are quite awkward to perform on 3DS". And they seem to spend a whole lot of words on the touchscreen input, which seems to me like going on about how great having crutches is while not making much of the fact that you've broken your leg.

            After totally ignoring the 3DS, I'm now totally caught up in the hype and thinking about ordering one. Given the region locking I'm thinking a US one is the way to go as I'm likely to buy things like Atlus games, but I can't seem to find anywhere to pre-order one from, where are other people ordering their US machines?

              Yeah I found that strange. The CVG review doesn't mention the controls at all. Not sure what's going on there.

                Tbh, down the years every time a new machine is launched, most launch games are given good reviews anyway. I'm not saying they are wrong with SF3D but high reviews are usually the norm.

                  Eh? I don't agree. There's usually one stand out title and then a sea of mediocre. Sometimes not even that.

                    From what i played i would agree with those scores, Pes was great from what i played im deffo picking it up.

                    Dream Trigger 3d looks interesting http://uk.ign.com/videos/2011/03/01/...ger-3d-trailer

                      I'm talking from a reviewers point of view. Most actual gamers buy the launch titles and then agree that 90% are crap with a couple of excellent games. They look good tho i have to say.

                      Still not biting though as i like my XL and i don't think i'll jump on until they either release a bigger version in a couple of years or unitl there are more titles available. Having said that, i have to go to the states in 3 weeks working so may see what they are out there..

                        That's good to hear. I really fancy a spread of genres and wanted to get PES for footy.

                        The only thing I see missing from the launch line up is a decent shooter. Splinter Cell hardly a real shooter. A nice FPS would have gone down a treat. I guess we have to wait for Resi Mercs for some gun action

                          Ghost Recon?

                          The Ubisoft line up has potential, I haven't seen much mention of Splinter Cell, Asphalt 3D et al though...

                            Is it just me or are there a lot of 3DS haters on Euro Gamer (in the comments)? It seems almost universal and they all seem to want a NGP, and making stupid comments about the kids deciding who wins, and the 3DS only appealing to kids and that an adult would see through it. They sound pretty immature to me...

                              I just ignore them as they talk total bs half the time.I think they are jelous fanboys who are missing out on great games and innovation because of their attitude.

                              GDC at 5pm http://gdc2011.nintendo.com/ hopefully some new 3ds news or wii trailers.

                                To be fair, since the new year, there have been a big stream of negative news from Nintendo that's put a dampener on things a bit.

                                A launch line up with some nice games but no real 'system seller', the open pricing (which has turned out very well for us in the end with the ensuing price war), no VC and no 3DSWare (at launch), region locking.

                                Couple that with an incredibly impressive NGP unveiling and it's not surprising it's brought out lots of comments of that kind.
