Nintendo Power has a review for Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights in the October 2011 edition of the magazine. The magazine gave the game a 6.0, and a summary of the review continues below.
Nintendo Power has reviewed Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D this month. The game received a 7.5. Here’s a summary of what Nintendo Power thinks.
- Graphics are “pretty darn impressive” but the game suffers from frame rate problems.
- Nice use of 3D. The reviewer had the 3D slider at max and never felt the need to lower it.
- Makes nice use of 3DS controls.
- Use the A button to quickly heal yourself.
- Moving while shooting is poorly executed.
- If you are going for the most time on each stage, constantly meleeing enemies can become “monotonous”.
- Thankfully, the variety of enemies help to keep the player engaged.
- Extremely strong enemies help change things up.
- In co-op both players get a game over if only one of the players die.
- The game can get boring, so it’s best to play it in short bursts.
- Final score: 7.5
I’m going to pick this up once it goes down in a price a bit. I love the mercenaries modes, but with such a lack of new content I can’t justify paying $40.
Ten years ago, Nintendo released their 32-bit handheld that would prove to be hugely popular. There were so many amazing games for the system that it can be difficult to select just ten, but Nintendo Power has done that in this month’s issue. What does Nintendo Power rank as the best GBA games?
So here I am, just flipping through this months issue of Nintendo Power when I spot a very familiar piece of artwork. I actually posted this art today thinking that this was a part of the big reveal of Heroes of Ruin, a game resulting from the collaboration of Square Enix and n-Space. n-Space announced the game through their Facebook page. Shortly after announcing it, n-Space deleted the post but the damage was done. Turns out that Nintendo Power actually had the big reveal all along, on page 13 to be specific. And it gets better – Nintendo Power published details that weren’t given on the Facebook page.
