DuckTales should be cool and I might nab it. Two questions though...

-Any word on a price yet?
-Is the original NES DuckTales included?

@TriforceBun
It's $14.99 on Steam and PSN, so that seems like a safe bet. I havent heard any mention of the NES game(or graphics) being included with any of them.

$9 for Spin the Bottle? I thought it was going to be $4 Doubt many people will give it a try now, I doubt I will now.

Is it that time again already?

Spin the Bottle actually sounds pretty fun. Seems like a good party game if you have an open-minded crowd over.

I'm kind of tempted by RoTK IV. They're pretty good!

So, whats the scoop with this Spin the Bottle game? Is it all about kissing?

And 15 bucks for DuckTales? Like...I have the NES game, is the only thing "new" the graphics (and sound)?
HMM..

Is Mario & Luigi out in NA yet? I saw it in a shop here in Switzerland today and was tempted to buy it until I remembered that A. 3DS is region-locked B. everything is uber expensive here and C. I wouldn't have much time to play it and rub it in everyone's faces before it comes out in NA anyway.

@Mr_Mustache We were supposed to get one of the Spin the Bottle guys on the podcast but I think they have been busy getting it ready for release, maybe sometime soon?

As far as I can tell it is a TV-free, GamePad used only to tell you what to do game where you are in teams and stuff and have to do erm... odd / weird things with the Wii remote? They described it as somehow family-friendly and risque at the same time, depending on the crowd. No kissing or anything though.

That sounds pretty interesting, but just how much fun can two people have with a battery operated objec--

...Oh...Ohhhh.....

SteamWorld Dig looks good, I await impressions.

I'll pick up Mario and Luigi, but not in any rush. Haven't even picked up Pikmin 3 yet, I'm still working on a number of other games.

@Mr_MustacheThe question is how much fun can EIGHT people have with a battery operated plasitc object. (it's up to 8 players you filthy bastards!)

I'd have to admit I think Ducktales should probably only be 10, but I think Disney stuff tends to be more on the expensive side in general. If the game is only a few hours long...I don't know if I could plunk $15 on it.

@PogueSquadron

I think it should only be $10. Or maybe $8.

They should really just let us choose what we want to pay.

@GameDadGrant Haha, that has actually proven to be successful in some places....although most things Disney branded are going to come with a premium.

I just don't like shelling out a lot of money for a remake. Even if I was more of a Wind Waker fan, WWHD would be a tough sell to me at $40-$60.

At the very least, you ARE getting a game that has completely new visual and audio assets in Ducktales. I almost want to pay the premium just to support Wayforward and Virt, to be honest.

@PogueSquadron

Yeah, supporting WayForward and Virt is a worthy endeavor, IMO. The "premium" doesn't seem that bad to me - but the value of an "extra" $5 can vary from person to person.

We also have to remember that there is all-new content in the game, too. New areas to explore and treasure to find, stuff like that. It's not just a better-looking and better-sounding version of the NES classic.

No one caved and bought SteamWorld Dig? That trailer really looks awesome but talk about launching at a bad time. There's way too much to play right now but I'm really curious about it so I hope I can get to it soon.

Ive heard there an extra world in Ducktales and an HD Darkwing Duck Trailer when you complete the game but that could be a vicious heartbreaking rumour.

Steam World Dig on 3DS, Duck Tales on PS3.

@Mr_Mustache 2 people? Nah 4 people.. or maybe up to 8? I dunno.

ALTHOUGH... it's the same team who was behind THIS.
