Gaming Best Launch title you picked up?

[Dylan]

Damn this thread is killing me. I neeeeed to find enough cash to purchase samurai warriors on launch day in 2 days

 

[Assax]

Is Rayman 3D any good? (Never played the original Rayman 2) I bought it today, but it's still unopened in its packaging. I'm not sure if i should keep it or go and exchange it for Samurai Warriors :S

I think it is okay-ish, neither the best nor the worst title that you could pick out of the launch ones.
If you have not played the original (as you stated) and enjoy platformers you might enjoy it.
If you don't care about getting all the Lums (some elfish things, don't know really

) it might be a little short though.

I picked up Ridge Racer and Samurai Warriors on day 1 (Mar 27).
I played with the built-in games for a while (loved the AR games).

I just bought SSF4 and Pilot Wings now so I will have to test these 2 out first.


As of now Samurai Warriors looks great, but the attack speed of the main guy is slow. I'm pressing Y 3x a second but the guy only slashes 1x per second. It maybe because of his big ass sword.

I only have pilotwings so far, but getting street fighter soon.

That's my main concern. From the Rayman games that i HAVE tried out, i haven't really bothered to collect all the fruits/cages/orbs. Just in a few worlds.

anyone with Samurai Warriors, would you say the game's enough of a time consumer without getting boring?

Samurai Warriors looks and plays like a PSP game from the series... I was quite disappointed... But it's a game both me and my wife would play so that's more or less the reason I got it.

lucky you your wife is willing to play with you. my gf isnt a game fan.

anyway, I like samurai warriors but it sometimes it gets boring.

"Go here, kill someone."
"Go here, kill someone."
"Go here, kill someone."
"Oh! Your party member is dying! ASSIST!"
"Go here, kill someone."

Thats it. But hack and slash games have always been like that anyway so..

Hands down Pilot Wings for me. I love the hang glider! Fucking awesome...

I haven't even opened SS4 yet...

Anyone have experience with Zelda 3D yet? How well does it translate to 3d? How well do the controls match up? Anything new other than the switch to 3D?

 

[BrightNeko]

Face raiders the best launch title I picked up. Cause it is the only launch title I picked up.

It's not out...

They said they would release it in the "Launch Window" which is pretty large IMO.

They say Pilotwings is low on content, but I find missions are varied and there is a lot of stuff to do. And, mostly, score attack. Because you probably won't get all on these 3-stared on your couple first tries. And Free Mode looks like the Airplane things in Wii Sports Resort, but only 2 minutes ( D=< ) and a lot more content.

I can't comment on Samurai Warriors Chronicle since I don't have it yet, but Warriors Orochi 2 on PSP and Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 on 360 have consumed a huge amount of my time without getting boring.
Have you played any Koei Warriors games before?

I picked up Pilotwings Resort and Street Fighter on top of Rayman 3D today.

I already talked about Rayman, so I'll talk about my new games.

Pilotwings seems to be almost exactly like the demo at Best Buy. There aren't that many missions, it seems like you can beat them in a day easily. I picked it up because I just like mindless flying games. In Wii Sports Resort, I could just fly around for an hour straight not even doing any missions, so the free-play mode will entertain me after I beat all the missions. So far, I think Pilotwings has the best 3D, if people care about that.

And as for Street Fighter... I haven't played it yet. It seems like everyone is loving it. I don't like fighting games so let's see how that goes...

HANDS DOWN to me, Samurai Warriors takes the cake...replayability, gorgeous 3D, and all you can kill...enough said.

That's reassuring. I know a lot of folks, especially media critics, love to rag on the DW games (and its offshoots like this), but those games can offer plenty of guilty pleasure. I thought it looked impressive visually, and I'm glad to hear the 3D is decent.

Still...this launch line-up is so weak. SSIV looks great, but I could never go back to a pad of any type after playing on a stick. I'm sure the novelty is neat, but $40 is too much for a novelty. Hopefully, the summer will bring with it some must-buy titles.

Well uh..

I've liked.. the camera..

I bought both Pilotwings and Street Fighter.

My answer remains the same.

I picked up quite a few games, since my girlfriend got a 3ds too. We have:

Sims 3 : She likes it a lot. Shame they didn't give it more than 1 saveslot.
Nintendogs: Got this twice and we both like it. The dogs are so cute.
Samurai Warriors: Bought it because someone on here said it is one of the bigger titles content wise, but I don't like it that much. just hack n slay...
Street Fighter: Hmm. Yeah. Always sucked at fighting games. Still do

But multiplayer is fun

PilotWings: Pretty cool but too short.
Lego Star Wars: Very good. My gilfriends favorite game. Sound & gameplay are fantastic
Ghost Recon: My favorite game. Battles are fun and 3D effect is amazing.

 

[rockstar99]

Got Ridge Racer and Asphalt 3D.Asphalt is more pretty but Ridge is way more fun

 

[Nottulys]

Well I said I wouldnt buy another damn Street Fighter, but I did, and its cool and all, especially after whooping a couple of people Online(in Arcade mode to try it out, and before I could play the 1st match, "Heres comes a New Challenger..."X2) its just another Street Fighter, and it hasnt changed since Alpha 2...IMO.

HANDS DOWN to me, Samurai Warriors takes the cake...replayability, gorgeous 3D, and all you can kill...enough said.

Damn I wish there was more 3DS games out already...

What is your favorite Launch title?

How is Samurai Warriors' gameplay? To which game can you compare its gameplay?

Like one of the PSP ones, but not the 1st two where you got to go to each square on the map, and wait for it to load each damn thing...I still cant believe how seemless it is for a cart, I've seen at least 20-30 people on screen at once, and im only on the 2nd mission with a level 25...
