I was shocked at the quality of Super SF IV for the 3DS, which I played on my New 2DS XL.  I have spent many hours playing this on my PS3, and that is my benchmark of comparison.  First off...  The graphics on this 3DS version are not dumbed down too much, and the less intuitive stage backgrounds do not drain this game from the original fun factor.  The controls are on par with the the PS3 response, and the sound quality is at the same qualitative level as the graphics and game play levels.  My biggest gripe is that I did not get this game as soon as I got my 2DS.  Lastly, I am a Street Fighter II and up lover for the last 29 years.  I hate Street Fighter I.

This review is from one who has never played the PSP versions of the game and who was desperate to play a new God of War game.  Now you get two full games plus a bunch of extra challenges!  It's so stunning in HD and so much fun I can't even say enough positives about the game.  I can't imagine there being one negative review of this game on here.

about 10 or so I saw some game play of this and I was enthralled, it looked really good, the way another character or bot dies and screams in agony sounds so gruesomely good.

One of the biggest and most expansive games on Computer, PlayStation, and Xbox, is now on the 3ds. And it's amazing. The game is more the less a combination of the mobile version and the console version (as far as items and small details such as lighting). The controls are very well put together, with an outstretched view on the top screen, and the ability to view your inventory/workstation on the bottom screen. Also there is a new way to build in this version (it's very reminiscent to that of the mobile version), you can essentially "draw" on the bottom screen to build structures, in fact, I may even say the 3DS edition has the best building since the PC version. Other than controls and style, this game is essentially Terraria Vita edition, but with a better control scheme. This is definitely a game worth getting if you're a fan of sandbox games such as Minecraft (and obviously Terraria!), I would also recommend this game to fans of the survival genre. However, if you prefer a game with 3D effects, look elsewhere, since this game, sadly, has no 3D option.

First off this won't be a complete review as the games been out for so long and reviewed so many times I don't really see me adding much to what's already been written. This is more to support the titles I enjoy. Moving on... I waited a long time to purchase this game because it seemed so off the wall to me and unlike any other game I'd played before. When I started playing I was absolutely right about my assumptions and absolutely wrong for waiting so long to buy it. This game is truly intense. It's truly unforgiving, yet also rewarding experience for those up to the challenge. The story (I should say atmosphere) is not as light as some of these reviewers make it out to be. The Demon's Souls universe doesn't really care if your there or not. It treats you more like an uninvited guest than an invader, or like an annoying fly on the wall waiting to be swatted. The tidbits of story you do get are voice acted well and fit in with the ambiance of the game. But I won't spoil any of it.

As for the gameplay, it's pure genius. The controls are tight and responsive, although the aiming for the bows felt a little too jumpy to me. It's hard to move the cursor just a hair without overcompensating. But still very well done overall. In light contrast I very much enjoy the melee combat. I've just starting delving into the magic system but so far it's very well done. It's little imbalanced but really that's just nitpicking. I'm having loads of fun and that's what matters. I started as a thief because I like the agile nature of that class. I don't like playing tank characters because they just feel to static. I like the idea of an enemy attacking me only for me to roll behind him/her and land dagger to their back while they're still swinging in the opposite direction. And thanks to Demon's Souls tight gameplay I can do just that, as long as I'm focused that is. This title is unforgiving for those not bringing their A-game. You have to think on your feet or die. And I have had many deaths haha! However, cheap deaths are extremely rare, and nearly all of mine so far have been from me trying to multi-task while playing. And being sent back to the last checkpoint (archstone) when dying is in my opinion a great idea. It gives you death more weight, and tightens your focus. Going back to play my other favorite games was like night and day. Demon's Souls really challenges you like very few games do these days. However it's not overwhelming either as long as your willing to push yourself. As gaming goes, Demon's Souls makes you a warrior. It's definitely one of my favorites now, and as soon as I beat it I will be picking up Dark Souls.  Way to go From Software, you guys earned my money.

I might really have missed out by never having played a "Paper" Mario game, but the review is for THIS game and I have to say I just love it.  I have quite a few 3ds games but I really think this is the absolute best looking game, fully utilizing the 3d effect perfectly.  It's actually breathtaking to see and the controls work very well.  I usually try to get games after a price drop and every now and then I think, "wow this is so awesome I should have gotten it earlier" which is the case with this one.  I can't compare it to previous Paper titles but I can say it is a very nice blend of puzzle and action that has a good difficulty level to me, meaning it is challenging but never totally frustrating. It's difficult enough I had to check a walkthrough a few times to find some of the  hidden areas or goodies.  The creativity, color, astounding sound and fun gameplay felt extremely fresh and really had me smiling and happy in "kid-like" wonderment. Just "throwing" the things at the "screen" in a particular part made me laugh out loud for the first time in a Mario game in a really long time. I love Super  Mario 3d Land and feel this is every bit as good yet totally different but this is one of the best looking games on the 3ds, period.  I think if you want an excellent, quality Mario game and have not tried this, you should get this.

Ok so I am a late adopter of the new 3DS platform. I purchased one about a week ago and am building a collection of games. I remembered REM3D from the launch and mostly remember it getting bashed and I could see why. This mode, while one of my favorite additions to recent RE games, is an addon and selling it at retail price with no story was kind of a rip off on Capcom's part. Now the game is under $20 so i decided to give it a try and i am glad I did. The game is alot of fun while i don't think i would have been as satisfied had I payed the $40 asking price at launch for $20 this is the perfect addition to a 3DS collection. It has tons of replay value. Unlocking all characters/costumes and getting SS on every stage will take a few dozen hours. The graphics are great for a handheld and the controls work well on the 3DS. The 3D effects are decent they do give some depth and add a bit to the graphical quality when turned up. As and Re fan I am having alot of fun with this. Ya you only get one save but it's a $20 game and should get more than your $20 out of it with on complete play through. Must own 3DS game in my opinion.

I just purchased the GBASP, and while I have not played at great length, I must say that initially, I am blown away! I was attracted to it not only by the compact size and small screen, but the exceptional low price as well. It will be great to take my gaming habit wherever I want to go. In addition, it is not loaded with bells and whistles like it's newer brother, the DS, and is simple to use. I know of a few people whose only system is the Gameboy, so if you want something simple and portable, this is for you!
 the SP is very easy and fun to operate. In addition, the endless list of games will keep you busy for a long, long time.
While everyone seems to be raving over the DS, I'm having a great time with the SP.

Tip. Be sure to get a carrying case, as if you put it in your pockets, lint, dust, etc. will get into the system.

I bought this game for no other reason except that it was cheap and that I hadn't had the time to try it back when it came out. I was shocked by the quality that lays behind every corner of this game. The art is gorgeous with wonderful character models, the story is intriguing with a world war plot and easy to like characters and best of all the combat mechanics are superb.

A must buy for any PS3 rpg players or strategy fans.

This game is simply gorgeous! I was very much looking forward to playing this game when I first heard of it. When I received it and finally began playing I was stunned. That's not to say that the graphics are as good as The Last of Us or Beyond: Two Souls, but the upgrade from the original is definitely something to wonder at and is a must buy for any Final Fantasy fan! Everything is crisp and clean and some of the music has been updated as well. I loved the music from the original so it was a bit weird to hear some differences (that are noticeable) but it's nothing bad at all. I actually appreciate very much that they upgraded the music along with the graphics! They really did their best and you can tell they wanted the game to be the best it could be.

In addition to all the upgrades, this remastered edition includes all the content from the International versions!!! I've been dying to play the international version for so long and I finally have it! There is plenty of extra stuff to do with the second sphere grid and the dark aeons. I'm really surprised to see how super powered those aeons are! So frustrating but so awesome at the same time! I still have not completed everything there is in the game yet so I'm not entirely sure what more there is but if you want to know then I'm sure you could Google it. I'm also the type that waits to finish the first game in a series before playing the next, so I haven't started FF X-2 yet but I'm sure it's also gorgeous!

Again, this is a must buy for any Final Fantasy fan! Now, if we can just convince Square Enix to make an HD Remastered version of Final Fantasy XII I will be even happier :)

This Ice White Japanese-only 3DS is so much more awesome than the ugly versions we get here! So unfair, Nintendo!!! Even the 3D slider is so cool in chrome.  The top screen appears sharper, too, than my two US 3DS'es.  I swear the battery lasts a little longer, too!  Of course, this ONLY plays Japanese 3DS games.  But you can play StreetPass Mii Plaza games, too, and you can shop the Japanese eShop with a U.S.-issued credit card!  I don't know any Japanese but through online FAQs and trial-and-error I can play a couple of the really cool Japanese-only games, even though I still can't say their titles!  The price I paid here on Amazon was totally reasonable and fair.  I'm very happy with this.

The third (and sadly, probably final) entry in the cult classic "Kid Icarus" series is not just the best entry in the series, but is also one of the best games on the 3DS. And for many, it may simply be THE best on the 3DS.

Graphics-wise, this game is beautiful. The sheer amount of effort and detail put into even the backgrounds is breath-taking and shows off the graphic capabilities of the 3DS. Those who love games for their graphics will love them, and people who feel graphics are unimportant will be impressed by these graphics.
The music for the game is well-orchestrated, often remixing music from the original Kid Icarus, as well as having original music of its own. The orchestra music is also accompanied by some awesome rock songs, most notable being the Boss Battle music. Music-wise, this game could best be compared to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, another great Nintendo game, with equally great music in a large soundtrack.

More importantly, the gameplay itself is wonderful. The controls may be a little awkward, but I admire their simplicity. They can also be altered in the Options menu to fit the player's own personal style. The way the game plays is such an interesting hybrid. The game is often divided into two sections. The first is a flying section, similar to that of Star Fox, where the protagonist, Pit, is moved through the environment while having the ability to move around the screen to avoid danger and attack enemies. The other is an imaginative and original combination, having a third-person shooter in a Ancient Greek/Rome type of setting. There are a large variety of weapons available as the player progresses on through the game, each of which have different stengths and weakness, again helping the player to find a certain style to suit them.

Though the highest point of this game is the dialogue, particularly between Pit and the lovely Lady Palutena. The sheer amount of humor put into the dialogue is worth the price of the game alone. The voice actors do a great job portraying their characters and make them very believable and incredibly hilarious. The game also contains many great references that some fans will have fun noticing.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is a must-have for anyone who has a 3DS.

This was released for the 3DO alittle after it went to arcades. For some reason the main consoles never got it. Maybe it was the fact that they had played up SSF2 and this game had very little change. It is a ripoff now that I think about it. I mean this wasn't a real sequal. Nevermind, either way it is one of the best SFs in the series. The addition of the super moves and Akuma.(hidden character)
 Now to the review of the port to 3DO. The sound is better then the arcade accually, the graphics are as good as the arcade. But one thing still makes the arcade better. Loading times. 3DO is a 2x CD rom. I.E. slow. Like slower then PS1. So to pick it up today, you'll may be like what the... Still its SF at its best, and one of the best games for 3DO. If you own the system its worth getting.

Absolutely gorgeous game. When I'm not playing it, I'm thinking about the next time I get to play it. I never played the original, but this is the first game on my Vita that made me absolutely fall in love. It's more complicated than I was expecting, but the game does a fantastic job of teaching you the mechanics throughout the story instead of just bombarding you with information at the very beginning. The art style is incredible-- I have Dragon's Crown, as well, and I think this game looks so much nicer. The only issue I've noticed are the frame drops, especially on boss levels.

Over the yrs, handheld ports of MK games have ranged from absolutely abysmal to merely embarrassing(AHEM...MK Advance), so DA deserves special mention for even displaying a level of competence. The sound is great with good vioce samples and surprisingly potent smacking sounds, and the tight conrols retain an impressive amount of 12 characters maoves, stances, and fatalities. And just like it's console bretheren, there's tons of stuff to unlock, even if it's mostly character palete swaps. The most unfortunate thing about GBA DA is the decision to ape the console version's 3D gameplay when it really wasn't neccessary,the arenas are blocky Mode-7 messes that do impossible Escher things whenever the floor meets the background, and the characters have been pixelated to make the "scale". 10 for ambition, at any rate, great game Capcom, keep up the good work.

At first I couldn't really tell that this thing was working at all until I began to play with all of the buttons.  Thats when I began to see the 3d effect of the unit which was really awesome when I watched the included movie with them.  Though the reason why I bought them was for video games and it is kind of a double edge sword in that area.  It seems to breath more life into some games more than others, I guess thats because of the way that each game is programmed.  However, the one thing that made me send the unit back to the seller was the choppy frame rate that I saw in my games.  It was cool seeing the games in 3d, but It kind of made some of the games harder as well.  In the end, if they fix this issue and come out with a unit with component inputs and hdtv support, I would definitely buy it.

I wanted to play through these before playing through V. It is way better than i expected. The stealthy gameplay, twisting story, and characters all make this collection one if the best gaming experiences I've ever had.
