I think it’s pretty obvious to say that everybody has a massive boner for the 3DS. There is no doubt about it, the Nintendo conference was kick ass. They showed us exactly what we wanted, and they delivered an amazing line-up of games. Nintendo has become my favorite thing ever, and I’m probably sure it’s the case for most of you. At this point, I think that the 3DS is definitely magic. So much so that it made me dream about stuff like; which games I’m going to buy at the release?(All of them, like for real!) Which color was I going to get?!!(Purple!) Will I start making out with random people on the street?! (Most likely)
I have such a huge boner for the 3DS, you have no idea. There are so many games I want to see made for the 3DS. I’m afraid I’ll have to play all those sweet games on the streets (homeless), making out with random homeless peoples (who have 3DSs). At least I’ll have a roof on top of me, since I’ll be using my gargantuan wood to lay the foundations for my new home. A portable shaft-shack made exclusively to play my 3DS. And since the console is obviously magic, my passion will fuel its battery. So yeah, the 3DS right, it’s fucking amazing. Let’s talk about some games shall we;
Here are ten games I’d like to see made for the 3DS:
Grim Fandango is my favorite adventure game from Tim Schafer. Seeing it made for the 3DS would be the greatest thing ever, for many reasons. The puzzles are clever and original, the characters are so amazing. Manny Calavera is one of my favorite characters ever. I mean c’mon! You are a freaking grim reaper working as a travel agent for the dead. Grim Fandango is amazing, and bringing it out, of its forgotten computer dimension, would be great.
I know that the third dimension doesn’t handle high-speed movements so well. But if the team behind F-Zero can pull this one off, it would be hands down, the greatest racer on the 3DS. I mean we all love Mario Kart but this a whole different league. The F-Zero franchise needs to be on the console for its speed and frantic gameplay.
Do you remember how dreadful the Virtual Boy was? Well let’s give Nintendo another chance to redeem themselves, and release a kick ass boxing game for their new console. Y’all mofos might be hoping for a Punch-Out sequel, but Nintendo should do something completely different. I don’t care if it’s the same principle as Punch-Out, I want some robots bashing my face in 3D!!!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I remember when Nights into Dreams was released back in the Sega Saturn days. It was mind-blowing. Floating in mid-air ranking up those circles doing some flips and shit, it was one of the first 3D games I saw on home consoles. I freaking love the art-design of Nights, everything about this game would be amazing on the 3DS. I just know it, and that’s why I want this Sega classic to be on, the soon to be, greatest console ever made.
With the announcement of Kid Icarus on 3DS and Sin and Punishment on the Wii, I had to mention another great rail-shooter. Panzer Dragoon has so much potential to be the greatest thing ever on 3DS that I would gladly sacrifice, any stupid ass FPSs for the console. This needs to happen, no kidding, if Nintendo itself is releasing a rail-shooter as a launch title for their new console. Sega has to make a sequel to Panzer Dragoon in 3D.
Axelay is one of my favorite shmups from the 16-bit era. This is a no brainer for me; A top-down shooter, with lazers and isometric bosses c’mon bro…you know, you want this. The Nanostray series on DS was not really good, but Konami has a fantastic opportunity to create something amazing. For any of you Japanese shooter fans, Ketsui Death Label was by far the best shooter for DS. But seriously Konami, Axelay on 3DS…..it needs to be a thing.
Wait what?! An indie game on my list?! Kraid you so crazeh. Well yeah, Fez is already amazing why not making it full 3D!!! Let the smaller guys have their slice of the pie. The game is still in development and even if nothing is laid in concrete. I still think that it would make an amazing 3D platforming-adventure on the 3DS.
Awwww snap! Another Konami shooter! Wild Guns is so masterful, there’s no way the game can be left out of the 3DS library. The design is perfect; the players would be popping out at your face and the background would lay, further down the tri-dimensional field. Contra will most likely be amazing, but Wild Guns is so original and different, that I could not live without it.
The 3DS has a camera. In Pokemon Snap, you use a camera to take pictures of Pokemons….am I the only one who’s seeing a pattern here?! How awesome would it be, to have a photo safari in Pokemans land in a full-ledged sequel, and use the camera on the 3DS to take pictures of Pokemons in real life. Or in a 3D environment, moving the console like a real camera? you know, you want this!
If I’m going to buy the 3DS, you’d better off giving me an amazing visual trip, and a damn good one at that. Whether or not Rez or Child of Eden makes it to the 3DS; I want either of them in my pocket at all time, for their visual goodness. Child of Eden is already being developed in 3D for the home consoles. I can’t see why it couldn’t make the jump to real 3D, on Nintendo’s new divine relic. I want Rez or CoE on my 3DS now, Q! Just do it!
You know what Nintendo. You can just take my money. I don’t care anymore.
I cannot freaking wait to get my hands on one of those babies!
Grim Fandango would be awesome...even though I thought the idea was much better than the actual game. Shocking, I know.
Also, because it's early and I'm tired, the Wu-Tang clan:
Also, I fully support your last 3 options wholeheartedly.
I have played all of none of these games, but I am convinced. Also, afraid. The 3DS will have so many good games that the core of the earth'll have to be mined for resources to keep up with demand for production.
@Occams & Caspulex: Wild Guns is exactly like Blood Brothers, but better. Also, Wild Guns is so good, that Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with. Waitwut?! Protect your Neck kid!
@Manasteel88: This are probably my favorites too :P It would be amazing to have them on the console!
@Beyamor: I'm gonna say one thing about the 3DS. Upon its release, it will cure all diseases on Earth, cease armed-conflicts and end poverty with it's witchcraft. You heard it first here people. Also, *starts making out*.
@Blorp: Star Fox 64 already sounds like a wonderful idea for the 3DS, they should make a collection of some sorts.
@Xzyliac: I had to put some Sega up on there (couldn't help it), but Grim Fandango would be fucking amazing!
Much like Rez if you strip NiGHTS of it's atmosphere and environment and just leave it's gameplay than at the core there isn't anything special. Nothing broken or wrong but nothing that special. It's the charm that game has that really draws people in. Kinda like Katamari Damacy.
Which of the 30,000 E3 videos is that header image from?
WORD!
Do 'the kids' say that? Y'know, 'word'? I dunno.
@garethxxgod: It's really easy to make it run on DOSBox or there's even Windows98/XP version you can play, but they crash a lot. It would be so much easier to have it on a stable platform for once.
I think the only one I ever had trouble with those re-releases was Jedi Knight II's menu screens, but it's nothing a little switch to Task Manager can't fix.
LucasArts games are built to last, baby!
