Is that literally every minute you are playing the game?

When it says overall flight time, is that really the overall flight time from every attempt at a mission, or just your best attempts.

Any mention of the squirrel suit in the review?

Overall time from every mission attempt.

Can't remember if Kittsy mentioned it. While it is wonderful it appears for all of one mission. That's the problem with Pilotwings Resort: great ideas, stingily proportioned.

Why no score for PES 2011? It is a must buy which pleases me, but for all I know it could be similar to Pilotwings - a great 3D showcase but meh game - or a decent footie game.

Oh, and is there edit mode? North London instead of Arsenal would upset me a lot.

Where are the scores for all the other 3DS games...?

PostRe: NGamer issue 60 by **Fruits Punch Samurai** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:55 pm

They only reviewed three of them.

Bit hard to review games when you don't have 'em to review. Amazed you don't know how it works by now, tnny.

From what I played, it's much, much more than a 75% game. My ability to form my own opinions regardless of review scores means I shall definitely be buying it.

Well done you but I thought the whole point of reading reviews is to get an idea of how a game is before you spend money on it and I dont need to spend £30 of my cash to buy a game that only has you flying around Wuhoo Island... I did that last year.

Pilotwings got cut from day one purchase list. Ridge Racer has also been cut, due to RR4 hitting PSN this week. Content heavy Ridge Racer for me :wub:

So may replace those with PES and Ghost Recon alongside SSFIV.

So you're getting one at launch now? What happened to June? :lol:

I'm weak

I paid for it in full with Monkey Ball as a bundle(taking that back day one).

Haw haw.

Just surprised is all, as I thought this was being touted as the 'zomg 3DS' issue. I may have been misinformed.

I also dunno if its FPS' personal opinions, but 'Maybe Buy' etc seems a pretty crap way to inform your readers.

There is a lot of text accompanying each game, the "Must/Maybe" are just little icons stuck on the pages. They aren't really meant as replacement for review scores, as NGamer are fairly open about the fact they haven't got a chance to play final review code for the games they haven't officially reviewed.

How so? It's saying it might be worth buying based on what they've played, but falls short of 'must buy' status. I'm not sure why that is 'pretty crap'.

In SSFIV, do you have to use the touch screen for combos and special moves? Or can these still be done with the face buttons?

You can use the face buttons if you want to...

Eurogamer wrote:The lower screen is split into four customisable areas. Their functionality changes depending on whether you are in Lite or Pro mode, the former allowing you to assign any individual move all the way up to Ultras, Supers, and EX/Focus Attacks to any panel.

Whilst the very concept might be enough to cause the hardcore to foam at the mouth in rabid horror, it is of course not compulsory. However, the truth is some moves are quite awkward to perform on 3DS depending on your preferred character and button configuration.

If you're worrying that the touch screen will destroy the balance of online matches, don't. That's why Capcom has included Lite and Pro modes, for which matchmaking filters. Pro is for purists, where only regular moves can be mapped to the lower screen – no combos.

PostRe: NGamer issue 60 by **Christopher** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 8:17 am

So special moves are on the screen?

Seems that way. But for me, as long as the D-Pad is nothing like the shite 360 D-Pad, then charge characters shouldn't be a problem for me just like on PS3.
