I always fall for the "You aren't man enough..." argument.  If you say d21lewis isn't man enough to wear a dress and ride a unicorn around a rainbow, I'll probably be online picking out my unicorn saddle within minutes.


I guess you are more of a man than me.  I am not man enough to wear pink or purple.


Of course, it wasn't going to be a pink/purple dress!  I have SOME dignity!

Would be even more informative if all the later posts could be edited into the original post. Thanks!



Zen Pinball. How I love thee! Online leaderboards, too. I'm friends with close to 80 people and, last time I checked, nobody has beaten my high score in the first table. Do you have what it takes?*

Can anybody vouch for the quality of Pilotwings and Ridge Racer? I'm kinda in the market for a new 3DS game and Res Evil doesn't come out for a couple of weeks. I'll die without a new game!






*answer: No. No, you don't.

Pilotwings was meh. It was an alright game at launch for showing what the 3DS could do, particularly the analog stick and 3D effect, but you could beat the game in a couple of hours, there is no online or multiplayer component, and there are a couple of minor quibbles I have with the game. It could be worth picking up for $20, but there are simply better games on the 3DS. Heck, with Ace Combat scoring alright reviews, its probably not even the best flying game on the system.

I'll pass on it for now, then.

Question: In my other Recommendation Thread, I had MetaCritic and GameRanking hotlinks for each game. Should I include those for the 3DS version as well or leave them be?

I see Flipnote Studio in eShop Miscellaneous. I think Flipnote Studio is not available for Nintendo 3DS (DSi only). Maybe the software you actually mean is Swapnote?

I didn't realize that FlipNote Studio was DSi only. That's a shame... I really hope Nintendo continues a feature like that. People really had some great stuff on there.

It's a bummer that the DB is down until GameWise is up... or else I would have added Sonic Triple Trouble.
