Steel Diver – A fun 3DS game

So far we have had a look at a couple of 3DS games that are receiving massive hype – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Starfox 3D, along with a few other 3DS games that receive their fair share of hype at launch (I wrote about the 3 must have 3DS launch games in another post).

Well today, I thought it would be nice to look at one of the games that is being passed over by many but is still a fun little game for the 3DS. I’m talking about Steel Diver.

Steel Diver is a unique submarine battle game for the 3DS.

Most of the reviews you will read for Steel Diver rate it quite low and I tend to agree with these reviews although I do feel they are a little harsh – the game is still quite fun and should keep you happily occupied while you wait for more 3DS games to be released.

Here are a few comments about Steel Diver from Reddit users when asked to suggest a good 3DS game:

Steel Diver is great if you don’t mind a really slow game. It’s not really action oriented and is really more of a simulation than anything. I’ve had a ton of fun with it and would recommend it, but I think it’s a game where you either love it or hate it. – Bossman1086

Definitely Steel Diver. I’m having a blast with it. – Mojo_Nixon

Too Long; Didn’t Read version: If you have played through all of the popular 3DS games that were available at launch and are waiting for more to be released, Steel Diver could be a fun little game to pass the time – albeit  a little frustrating.

3DS Games – iPad and iPhone alternatives

Short post today…

Instead of playing Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, download Street Fighter IV

In one of my posts last week I asked the question Will the Nintendo 3DS be a success or a flop? Well in my ‘glass is half full’ kind of way I said that it would be a huge success for Nintendo, after all I am a raging optimist – but the 3DS is pretty cool in its own right.

One of the arguments that were made during this post was that the Apple iPhones and iPads are very popular with children and parents alike these days – kids love them because you can play games on them and parents love them because the games aren’t going to cost them an arm and a leg to buy!

Well my friend who made this comment would love to read this post on modojo.com which lists alternatives to a bunch of 3DS games that were available at launch. Check it out and I would love it if you came back here and posted a comment or two if you think this kind of thing is going to pose a problem to the ongoing success of the Nintendo 3DS – especially if there is a cheap alternative to every 3DS game!

Upcoming 3DS Games – Starfox 3D

On Tuesday I wrote a post about the highly anticipated Nintendo 3DS game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Well, in today’s post I would like to write about another hot potato that is being released soon… just so you know, Starfox 3D should be available in Australia in May!

 

If you’ve played through all the 3DS games that were available at launch, especially the ones I mentioned in 3 must have games for the Nintendo DS, then you won’t have to wait too long to get your hands on Starfox 3D, and that’s excellent news for anyone who has managed to get their paws on the Nintendo 3DS and is a fan of the original Starfox series (on SNES and 64).

Even so, it’s still about a month before Starfox 3D will be on our shores so you should still have enough time to play through some of the other hot 3DS games that were available at launch, such as Pilotwings Resort, Nintendogs + Cats, Super Monkey Ball 3D, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, Steel Diver and Rayman 3D amongst others.

Just like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Starfox 3D will be an enhanced remake of the Nintendo 64 version of the game. Even so, it is on the must have list of 3DS games for many fans, and I for one look forward to playing it!

What was your favourite game on the N64 that you would like to see enhanced and remade for the 3DS, or would you just prefer a straight copy of the game without any tweaking? Leave a comment below!
