Batman blackgate?

 

Is there much else that recently released in the West? Why!

I understand Wii U somewhat, but the 3DS makes no sense.





Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Western developers use both analog sticks. The 3ds should have had 2 analogs right from day 1. As it is now the system is good for 2d and some 3d games but not good for the games that get made by the western developers.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Did you forget Inazuma Eleven,  Etrian Odyssey Millenium Girl, BayBlade Evolution, Layton & Azran Legacy (Europe), Ace Attorney Dual Destinies,  Scribblenauts Unsmasked, One Piece Romance Down, Lego Movie Videogame, ,Adventure Time Explore The Dungeon, Hometown History, Sonic Lost World,  Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Rune Factory 4,  Skylanders Swap Force, Lego Friends, Ben 10 Ominiverse, etc ....

(I´m counting here only games released in the latest 4 months in the West,)

It´s not that bad at all, but one thing is certain: western developers are slowly abandoning development for handhelds.

I find the explanation that western devs are incapable of designing a game without two thumbsticks hilarious.
