On screens of that resolution, it won't make a difference.

But if you wanted to save it on the SD card and show it on a bigger screen it'd be crappy

My search for the cheapest 3D camcorder continues...

Nintendo updated its 3DS release calendar today with a general March time frame for Steel Diver. Later in the day, it sent out a more specific date. Steel Diver will be released on March 17 at ¥4,800.

This second first party 3DS title following Nintendogs + cats has two primary modes of play. In one mode, you guide a submarine through a side-scrolling stage, navigating obstacles and enemy ships. The other mode has you target enemy ships with a periscope, using gyro-based controls.

Could be a launch title over here

Yes please!

I think unless something drastic changes in the line up I'm going to pass on it. Literally nothing I want to play and when the games that interest me are N64 games that tells me it's a gooseberry fool launch lineup

Wasn't the main DS launch title Super Mario 64?

Frank wrote:Wasn't the main DS launch title Super Mario 64?

Didn't buy one then either 8-)

Touche

It'll be ridiculous if they don't have one of OoT or Lylat Wars at launch here.

Wil wrote:Ouch, I still can't find a game I want to play if I get one at launch.

Me neither.

And it's bizarre to think that the likes of OoT will make it out over here before Japan. Simply, for those who are thinking this could be the case, why would they do that?

And friend codes! Again? No, Nintendo, no! Perhaps if it's tied to your Mii/console and it's single use then I might be okay with it, but... damn...

That is some gooseberry fool launch.

With each passing day there seems to be another reason to hold off buying this.

Great OP btw TAP.

That's one of the best opening posts I've ever seen. Good work.

Launch is looking a bit crappy, but it's still hard not to be excited about a console with that range of features and forthcoming software. I'm not going to go for launch, TBH, might give it til Christmas or the first price drop/inevitable facelift.

gamerforever wrote:That is some gooseberry fool launch.

Nothing to do with us.

Personally I think we might just get Kid Icarus (unless Nintendo have held it because they don't think its quite there yet) for our launch.

Super Street Fighter IV 3D
Steel Driver
Dead or Alive Dimensions
PES 3DS
Super Monkey Ball 3D
Splinter Cell 3D

I would have thought we are likely to have all of those at launch, and I'm sure we'll get some more too.

Not quite sure how that could constitute a 'gooseberry fool' launch really.

Is it just me or does Steel Driver look proper lame?

Nah, Floex is also wrong.

I can't really find any proper info on it, what do you do? Just drive a submarine and shoot stuff? Like a shmup?

All I have heard is, that Nintendo are meant to be very proud of how this game shows off 3D gameplay.
