A succession of 3DS game preview videos have been released to near universal acclaim – in addition to previously shown games, Tales of the Abyss 3DS and Love Plus 3DS have been announced.
Metal Gear:
Street Fighter:
DoA:
Love Plus:
Of course with a $300 price point, it is as well that the games are impressive…
dammit. I wanna buy it! ToT
Pffft, what was that about falling stocks from earlier? Nintendo knows what they’re doing (especially with a title like Love Plus).
Even a day later, your 3DS coverage is far more useful than Kotaku’s… That must be why Bash cribs so many stories from here, lol
I must say this looks very promising.
Must… buy… 3DS… for… Love Plus…
i fear a certain price tag rise on 3ds games… well, itdoesn’t matter ; i’ll be playing Civ V or MHP3rd for some months \o/
Wow, Pilotwings? I haven’t seen that since the 64 =D I hope they got rid of the hang glider and cannonball. Frickin’ pain in the ass.
2D >>> 3D
Oh wait…..
im confuse, is the 3DS really region lock? i think the features are the only region lock(much like DSI) while the games itself is region free? it would suck if both features and games are region lock, PSP never had a problem with this :\
can’t for the MGS 3D though 😀 expect Love Plus 3D too be sold day 1.
With this, Apple’s tech is done for. So much for Steve Jobs goes to Japan and learn nothing but to get his Naruto’s goods confiscated.
Wow, my eyes are jizzing! Those are really impressive graphics. The next psp is gonna have trouble contending.
Motion support for love plus :O
So many possibilities~
Who’s Manaka’s voice actress again… Sounds like Hanazawa Kana, not sure though.
“Watch out for Vespoids, Snake !”
dat baseball game looked like total shit
Tales of the Abyss 3DS? Oh boy oh boy, another Tales game I will never see localized on North American shores!
You must’ve been pleasantly surprised when it came out here.
The original ps2 ToA did’nt get localized? I swear i’ve seen in english so might have been limited stocks or something.
Other brb while waiting for inevitable flash card and patch for ToA 3d 😉
I HHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG for Manaka <3
😀 I hope they bring the Abyss port to the US. Awesom. I can see myself playing Love plus in the privacy of my own home. ahaha, even though it’s a girl. I love playing interactive romance in games. 🙂
The bad guy on DoAs PV reminds me of Mr.Satan
I’m going to get this 3DS just for Love plus and DOA:dimensions
RE looked good but LovePlus blew it away.
$100 says america doesn’t get tales of the abyss.
Quick! Spam their facebook!
Do want 3DS & Love Plus translation
I am impressed, i want this new 3DS. Unfortunately im broke and wont have any money for it for a very long time.
“IT’S RIDGE RACER.RIIIIIIGDE RAAAAACER. The 3DS cost 299$.”
that Metal Gear trailer was so cool!
Konami will be filling buckets with money when Love+ 3D is released.
well 300 is a bit expensive but if they translate love plus 3ds i m totally SOLD!
I would love to buy this… but 300$???? I may have to wait for this to tank and become cheaper.
Man the new Love Plus looks nice…but just thinking in some guys crouched trying to look at the girls underwear and kissing the screen for the “kiss scenes”…brrrrrrr!
So if the iM@S trio girls don’t appear in iM@S2, I guess it means they will have a place somewhere on the 3DS
I want this combined with vocaloid. Miku chan goes 3D fuck yea
not like my dream will ever come true. :<
if you program it, they will cum.
i wonder if they’re release project diva for 3ds. it would be nice.
There’s a reason it landed on PSP, the buttons were simple for rhythm games. Shapes used in the Playstation buttons are just better for the game in my opinion. Even the new arcade version uses the X, O, <|, [] configuration.
A sequel or HD version of Project Diva is what we should wish for instead though. With HD graphics comes the possibility of 3D as well. But I'm not into 3D much so even just HD is enough. I'd very much pay for a port of the Project Diva Arcade Ver.
i thought that there already was an HD game
aye, dreamy theater on ps3
DLC on psn that requires a jpn account, 3000 yen, psp+diva usb to the ps3
3D PIG DISGUSTING
WTF IS THIS SHIT?
MAI WAIFU SHOULD BE IN 2D, NOT THIS 3D SHIT
They may be jumping into a 3D visual style, but rest easy my friend. Their personality is still flat and thin, ie. 2D.
Those probable STEROSCOPIC views of games soon to be, does give me hope for a actual 3 DIMENSIONAL system in the DECADES to come~
Fuck Love Plus.
I care more about playing by myself at some garden, then suddenly getting owned by a random character that I didn’t know was used by some 8-year-old right behind me. Wouldn’t want something that embarrassing happen to me…!
Ahah, your 3D girlfriend in your pocket. Release the game outside Japan so i would pay the price without regret.
Ah, a DOAX remake maybe. With tissues included please.
Otakus doesn’t need to commit suicide anymore , since Nene will be in 3DS!
they should make LovePlus-ON!! 🙂 with tea time simulator…in 3D
At $300, I may need to wait a while for it to drop price. With 2 DSLites and 1 DSi to my name, this is not a real need-to-upgrade object for me.
However, who knows …
The MGS video is nice, wonder how it will look in 3d.
Its seems they want to move away from gaming being for kids only in japan, if you watch the Street Fighter vid.
I’ll just have to be waiting for a price drop to get one of these.
quite impressive indeed.
*Waits for TWEWY sequel*
AW YEAH BROTHER
Both of you are now my best friends.
I’m so touched my Anonymous fellas. ~OP
Gah, so need to try out Love Plus…
That Love Plus video kind of mesmerized me..~_~
LOL at the Metal Gear Solid trailer. The posing with the “3D” bit made me laugh, and the guy jumping out to get his cigarettes actually kind of got me.
i only wish the trailer was in stereoscopic 3d, so i could cross my eyes and get the 3d effect, it may be a shit method but it works for no 3d screens good enough.
And here I was thinking we’ll see a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 3D from Square Enix. Chocobo racing? come one SE, you can do better then this. All the other games are crap as well. I don’t care for a million more Mario and Zelda games. Zelda and Mario have been repeating themselves in an endless loop for years. SF looks interesting though, considering the new analog stick. Maybe the 3DS will turn out to be a great fighting game platform?
What, no Nene in promotional video … otaku rage 🙂
I would like to see LovePlus 3D in action, like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYnyBxVhK_c
Pfft. You know Rinko is the only one that matters.
It’s like a PSP with a stylus… $300 seems kinda steep though.
That’s just the JP release price. ¥25000 is around 300 USD when converted directly but that was also the price of the Wii at release and it only retailed at $250 in the states.
and its well worth every fucking penny. if there wasnt 1 fucking game that made you excited, please, STOP GAMING, it has nothing to offer you so why bother?
Controls much better?
Thell that to The Prince or Lara… jump straight, STRAIGHT dammit!!! Now, jump to you back… *camera changes, moves around and dance a little*… no, not … DAMMIT!!!! 😀
i hate games where memorization is the key. take the game, i want to be that guy, as an extreme example of it. i love games that make me think of how to win each time i play.
yea games have gotten a bit easier, than something like demon souls comes around. but are they easier because they are easier, or because controls are that much better?
i think its 50/50 with
Yeah, remember the Days when it took 5 minutes to load a single Game on the C64? Man, good old Times.
NOT! There are still “hard” games on the Market. Not everything is trimmed and directed at the Casual Gamers who can’t get anything right and done.
>Remember those days, where you drew a map yourself just to not get lost?
I heard you, guy
The good old days
Playing games is fun, but nowadays it’s kinda like playing movies. Not so fun. Remember those days, where you drew a map yourself just to not get lost? That was so much fun! Or the games where you needed to remember the whole game just to make it. Nowadays gaming is directed to retards, so yeah, I stopped gaming back in 2005.
hurt i said the truth? or hurt i said the truth but you are to cheap to shell out 300 and have to wait?
I’m not going to buy the 3DS unless they release an English translated version of Love Plus.
Means I’ll never buy it.
The Love+ one is bullshit, 3DS doesn’t project holograms or anything like when you see her popping out of the screen.
It’s just a promotional picture you fucking dumbass.
acutely, it could augment reality enough.
granted she may not bump into people or avoid them, but having the cameras take a 3d background picture, and put her inside of it, kind of like making the ds a piece of glass that you need to see her, is possible, and would be kind of a cool concept.
Motion picture, that is
I’m interesting in this console thought ^^
I don’t really see the “3D”-ness of it =/
I probably won’t be getting this.
This is the most hilarious thing I’ve read all night. So hilarious that I have no choice but to believe you must be trolling, Alice. Well played, well played.
Because you are watching on a flat screen…
They’re all cool and all and I’m excited.
However, I’m a bit bummed that SO MANY of them are remakes or are rote sequels or just putting in the 3D element to resell the same old game.
What I’m REALLY curious for are the games we don’t even see coming. Maybe some new ideas to do this better justice instead of adding a gimmick (albeit a cool gimmick) on top old older games.
3d isn’t a gimmick, it may appear that way because its new, but it will be the norm soon.
i already ware glasses, if they make 3d prescription iwth passive 3d already in them that doesn’t dim the light to much, ill get a 3dtv and be damn happy.
shutter 3d we have now is a gimmick that will die.
and they are remaking the best of the best, instead of going with a hit and miss launch, they are making damn sure we get games we want to play.
lol shutter 3D a gimmick – look at studies sir. it’ll be a good decade or two (likely more) before we have anything better. parallax barrier 3D is SHIT image quality by comparison. absolute shit. lose half of the light, or half half of the resolution with 3 viewing angles?
You decide!
(this comin’ from a guy who saw the 3DS at e3 and has a personal computer w/ nvidia 3d vision.)
Your eyes must be really close together…

the only reason i know i cant open my bedroom door from where im sitting, is because i know that its 10 feet away from me, but if i reach my hand out, i believe i could open it from here.
however 3d where i have to cross my eyes, or in a movie, i can see it easily, its the only kind of depth perception i have ever felt.
Can see 3D in movies but not in real life? Your brain must really hate you, because that shouldn’t be possible.
Since I can’t be bothered to post these next comments somewhere relevant, I’ll just do so here:
What’s the point of 3D in Love Plus if the effect is lost when you tilt the screen? Come to think of it, why is there a tilt sensor in the 3DS anyway? Wouldn’t the parallax barrier end up smearing the display with Moiré patterns?
Also, the visual quality of these games is at Dreamcast standard at best, but lower-res with a lot of poor frame rates. Because of the juddery movement, Ridge Racer looks weak compared to the PSP and iPhone versions. 3D is most effective at high frame rates, hence so much talk about 3D cinemas shifting to 48 fps, so that’s a bit of a shame.
“i cant see in 3d in real life, however i can in movies and such. i would honestly pay anything to see 3d, no one wants it more than me.”
^ This made me lol. Real life IS 3d. It always has been.
You can’t see in 3D in real life?!?
shutter 3d is the worst option, and i was going to get the nvidia 3d, but want willing to get vista. hell i was going to drop 1000$ on new hardware monitor, than i saw fucking vista only (at the time of launch) and i cried, and died a bit inside.
i cant see in 3d in real life, however i can in movies and such. i would honestly pay anything to see 3d, no one wants it more than me.
shutter 3d is the worst.
any passive 3d kicks shutters ass at the right angel.
hell id even go a head mounted display. i have used one and played a few games with one, i think they were mini crts in the helmets.
now to put it this way, i live alone, watch tv alone and play games alone, i sit at the perfect angel for everything i do. for me, shutter 3d needs to go away.
im planning to get a 3d monitor using the same tech as the 3ds when its available, in 1920×1200, or at least 1080. but if its 1080 it wouldn’t be my primary monitor
Like looking under Nene’s or Rinko’s skirt.
And that’s what all those boyfriend will pay for.
Peeping at Nene/Rinko/Manaka = PROFIT!
*lifts up Icy-nee-san’s skirt*
Manly indeed.
Quite a small man you have there, but still very manly xD
FFS must have 3DS with Love Plus
Or if your like me, peeping under Naked Snake…
ITS NOT GAY, ITS MANLY D:
i still dont see whats so good about nintendo DS’s.
85% of the games nintendo has are remakes of old games that they cant leave alone and in doing so kills them…..
if they come out with some good “NEW” games i may think about getting it but till then….
+1
I also saw shitloads of frame rate slowdowns.
where?
yea that one was the worst, but lets be realistic here, have they ever disappointed?
look at the psp new one, i dont have it and dont want to spoil myself, did that have frame slow downs? if no, or not much, i can trust them to hammer it all out on the final product.
MGS3 specifically
well a remake of a old game beats a shit new game dosent it.
snake eater, oot remake star fox alone are worth it for the 300$ price…
all in all, fuck you
Even shit new games at least have some originality. Remakes of old games are more likely to suck anyway, as the developers know that the fans are going to buy them anyway regardless of quality.
imagine star fox in 3d, that warrants a remake alone. some of the remade games realy do bennifit from 3d in a significant enough way, and some are there to pad out the great launch games.
You can have those classics. I played them, never that fun or great. I think we exhausted the classics. Time to move on and enjoy the new ones no matter how good or bad they are.
remake of zelda oot?
what appears to be star fox 64
mega man legends 3 (among my favroite games)
snake eater remake into 3d
you know 1 new game and 3 remakes and i am buying all of them the day they come out.
remakes of awesome classics on new hardware are ALWAYS welcome and are probably the best launch decision ever, look at ps3, 360, and most other systems, besides Nintendos, launch games, they generally suck. we know how good these games are, and the zelda remake may have a new level that was axed from the original and reworked old levels to make them a bit easier (water temple)
85%? You might want to get your statistics right.
I doubt it’s even half the games available that re-remakes. Go look in your local game store.
Don’t bother arguing. These are the same Sony fanboys that tried to love Crash Bandicoot back in the day. Shameless…
3DS looks awesome. Idiot gamers be damned, I’ll enjoy it without hesitation.
Simple really. Just do a little bit of research into games that are not remakes. Though I do like some remakes, I do agree that the DS is a bit inundated with remakes (that stupid trend started with GBA when the console was advanced enough for it to remake SNES caliber games).
While some remakes like Chrono Trigger is amazing, the rest are shameless cashins without much improvement.
But then there’s stuff like Ni no Kuni, Ouendan, Trauma Center, Inazuma Eleven, Infinite Space and Mario & Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story and you can get plenty of DS-specific, unique games.
Graphics wise, I’m still waiting for a hand held to surpass the PS2. I’ve played MGS3 gear 6 ways from sunday, and this remake isn’t up to the same quality.
All that said, I do really like the concept of 3D dating sims. If only they could make their way into the U.S.
Love plus 3DS?? Soooo Bought!
tech like this is scary, a lil more and you can actually do her.
so you fuckers are going to buy love plus 3ds? I thought you guys said 3d girls were pigs.
BRB fapping to 2d loli’s
OH MY GOD
That Love Plus looks AMAZING!
I must buy it even if i’m not really in the sim date game anymore and even though i dont understand japanese its looks awesome anyway.
Must play it!
300 bucks…It looks like I will be working a lot of overtime to get this as well as the games…
I myself personally can’t wait for the new Resident Evil game with Hunk…
That said, If they want to remake an old-school game, why not remake something like Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 3) or a sequel to Einhander or something Parasite Eve related…
Better yet, why not another Square-Nintendo collaboration and make Super Mario RPG 2…
Its a painful reminder, but thanks for reminding me that our Square had resurrected into a different thing when it was revived by a(n expired and shady) Phoenix Down…
I wonder if the people in Square who made that collaboration with Nintendo are still working there (same goes with Nintendo)…
If not, that’s a damn shame…
A Super Mario RPG sequel in the 3DS has SO MUCH BLOODY POTENTIAL…
*sighs sadly*
you keep forgetting that square has lost its old touch, they are unable to make great games anymore.
3ds love plus… it will doom japan even more than it is already…

Did i just saw a action based Final Fantasy?
DO WANT!
Anyway this DS is lookin better and better, i hope you can “buy” games from the internet like the PSP…
It’s from another Crystal Chronicles games, arguably the worst of all the shitty side series.
and 3DS gonna have FF5 and FF6 remakes
Oh right i forgot about Crystal Chronicles
Wish it was a real Final Fantasy
But at least i got my PSP for when Agito comes!
Yeah. I’m so pissed. The Crystal Chronicles series has been utter crap, and I was hoping to get a decent, real Final Fantasy on the 3DS. Even a remake of one of the older would have been better than another crappy CC game.
Scrap love plus. Look at MGS! What a shit! Is this some kind of QTE game like TimeGal? I’m not gonna play this. Never.
So fucking buying this…LOVE+ 3D? With THAT much details? Gotta go to japan right now…
Well, the new Love Plus certainly looks impressive in terms of graphics. And even more if you really could turn the viewing angle like that.
Though, not my tea cup.
I bet you’ll be happy to know that the console is region locked
>I bet you’ll be happy to know that the console is region locked
So far, no portable Nintendo machine has been rewgion locked, AFAIK.
D-Dead or Alive was a fighting game!?! when did that happen?
The line up. THE LINE UP!
Kid Icarus, Starfox and METAL GEEEAAAAR!
I’ll kill my cashbag right now.
And lol. Fitting music for the blood games.
Never been a fan of any love plus, in fact i’ve been against most of them, but that 3DS preview made me realise what i’m missing. MGS3 looks fantastic although i expected nothing less, but DOA looks pretty good too, and SF4 is bound to be good regardless, and tbh $300 is cheaper than i was expecting the 3DS to be, i don’t know why everyones making a fuss.
