Review: Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition — Well worth $40?
The Nintendo DS was revolutionary for the hand held market. Its dual screens and touch screen functionality allowed for developers to make some very unique games, but of all the many genres that graced the Nintendo DS, the one that was found most lacking was the fighting genre. There were a few fighting games, but most were lackluster.
Well, the 3DS set forth to remedy that scenario, giving us Super Street Fighter IV 3DS Edition as a launch title and just a few months later, Dead or Alive: Dimensions. Continue reading

Review: Nintendogs + Cats — The sequel to the best selling Pet simulator
Part of the “Launch Titles Revisited” feature
When the Nintendo DS came out, Nintendo revealed a new IP, Nintendogs. Nintendogs is a pet-simulator, in which you’re required to take care of a virtual dog, that means, you need to wash, feed and take the dog out for a walk. Once Nintendogs was released it was a commercial success, drawing in a large amount of gamers who didn’t know they were gamers. While it was critically well received, the main problem which I had with Nintendogs was the stale formula; it got a tad boring.
Has Nintendo fixed that this time around? Let’s take a look.
Review: Steel Diver — sweet transition? Or loveless port?
Part of our “Launch Titles Revisited” reviews
Note: We are trying to get more reviews onto the site, so we’ve decided to put up reviews of all launch titles we’ve not reviewed. Next week you can expect a review of Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, which was written by the newest member of the 3DSConnect team, Obishawn. Don’t worry though, we’ll also have reviews of Dream Trigger 3D and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D posted up later this month!
When the Nintendo 3DS launched, gamers were surprised by the lack of “big” Nintendo IP’s, instead we were given the choice of Pilotwings Resort, Nintendogs + Cats & Steel Diver (North America only). Steel Diver was actually shown way back E3 2004, but as a Nintendo DS game. Six years later Nintendo revealed that, the side-scrolling action game, in which you took control of a submarine was instead being developed for the Nintendo 3DS.
Did it make a sweet transition? Or was just a quick port that had no care put into it? Let’s take a look. Continue reading

Review: Ridge Racer 3D — Quick cash in?
Part of the “Launch Titles Revisited” reviews
When the Nintendo 3DS hit the stores, it came with a variety of games. While most of them weren’t “killer apps” or “must haves”, they did show what the system was capable of.

One of them is Asphalt 3D, and, the one that I will be reviewing today is Ridge Racer 3D. Fasten your seat belt, because we are about to turn the nitros on! Continue reading
Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D — is it still a classic?
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has always been a massive fan favorite, to say the least. Before its release in 1998, people were worried how Zelda might fair in 3D. They thought the combat would be awful, the exploration lost, and they feared for the series reputation. However, all their complaints and fears were put to rest shortly after they finally had the game in their hands. While somewhat different from previous titles in the series, Ocarina of Time still retained most of the classic Zelda game-play and masterfully brought the series into a three-dimensional world, the likes of which no Nintendo fan had seen yet.
It’s been 13 years since Ocarina of Time originally released. Back then, it was praised as a masterpiece of its time. Does it still deserve this praise? Let’s take a look. Continue reading
