Shantae Risky's Revenge - 10/4/2010 release date

[gtmtnbiker]

Just got this in the email via the Wayforward Shantae fan club.



This will be my first DSi ware purchase.

Yay! I will definitely be buying a points card in anticipation of this. It is a day 1 purchase for me.

'Bout F**king time!

DSiWare only? FUCK!
*hopes the 3DS will be compatible with DSiware games*

I want to see her 80085.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought she was hawt.

This. Especially that first one.
And that second one.

Have you fine chaps read my review of the legendary GBC original? If not, its on the reviews board.

I'd be all over this...except I don't yet own a DSi. With the soon to be released (in Japan) 3DS, I feel really torn. Shantae is excellent, but I'm not sure it's worth buying a whole new system for one game.

And even worse, DSi's are region locked, aren't they? So even if I were to hold off and buy a Japanese 3DS instead, I wouldn't be able to download this game?

Hmm what to do what to do..

Yes, DSiWare is region-specific and even handheld-specific. As others wrote, I'm also hesitant to buy more DSiWare so close to the 3DS's release. I'd love to hear on the 29th about plans to link purchases to a Nintendo.com account that could migrate from one handheld to another, still enforcing "DRM" but giving the user (heaven forbid we consider ourselves the "owner") of the software flexibility.

I think I'll hold off until the 3DS is released in the states in March. I mean, it's a download, it's not going to just go away. It'll still be there.

However, this was the one reason I would buy a DSi in the first place. However, a $10 or less game that you don't truly own really wasn't worth the extra $170 to me.

I'll definitely pick this up if I can play it on a 3DS. I've always heard great things about the original.
