In my ongoing effort to enjoy/understand the Nintendo 3DS, I grabbed a copy of The Mercenaries. Resident Evil fans know all about The Mercenaries, it’s the unlockable reward you get when you win, something like a trophy you can play. It survives the transition to the handheld pretty well all things considered, but there’s simply not enough game here to warrant a purchase. The value it represents may be warped somewhat by the fact that it has generally been included with a marquee Resident Evil title, but that’s just my Peace Gland trying to secrete diplomacy when no diplomacy is actually warranted. This would have been a legendary downloadable offering, something to try out on the new store. As it stands, these simply aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Or zombies, or whatever.

Meanies. http://www.penny-arcade.com/2011/6/29/

They wrote more about the 3Ds there, too.

I dont really disagree with them. I have plaed this thing in Resident Evil 5, but I knew that going in. Its a fun title, but I dont discount that maybe it should have been offered for a reduced price.

I can get it online for $35 + free shipping. Hmmm....

Thats $5 off the original tag price...

I agree with the Mercs argument- coulda been a download or cheaper or something!
But it is tons of fun, its portable (I think that is the main draw, right?) and it plays fucking great. Worth it, to me.

As for the rest of the artciel: I disagree. Sooner or later devs will realize 3D isnt the only thing the 3DS has to offer. Most early DS games all abused touch controls, too. Now we have balance.

I don't mind playing my 3DS with the 3d off, the 3d is just an oo ahhh thing for me not a pivotal reason for liking the system.

I don't suppose this one has 3DS download play? (The SF4 DL Play sucked.)

Needs 2 carts.

That's what I figured. DL Play would have really upped the value, but with graphics like those, I guess that's too much to ask for.

One cool idea would be a free download of the game that could only be played with someone who owns the game in local play. Or at least something that could be downloaded from the person who owns the game that resides on the SD card like a downloadable game.

Yeah those guys are being meanies even though it makes sense. Tons of unlockables and a nice selection of characters. It's just a rehash of sorts but could a game this size squeeze into Nintendo's rules on downloaded game size?

So.... we should make a weekly play time, Triz. I would like to think I'm decent at this now, we should kick some ass together. Suggest a time. I'm good from like 10am EST to 5pm EST, then again at like 2am until 3 or 4 usually.

Well I work from home during the day time so that should be best. I start at 7 pacific which is when your available, but honestly tuesday or thursday about 10 my time works best so 1 your time. I added you today on PSn as well.

Well how does 12 your time sound? Too late? I don't get home from work until 1:30-2am EST.

Cool, maybe I'll hop on Uncharted 3 at some point. I don't really like it, but when I play with friends its cooler.

Well so far my brother said that it was good, but hard as hell as he knows by now. Well he didn't beat the game yet, but *sigh* he's getting more S rank on all games which he wouldn't suppose to do yet until you just beat the game first.

If you have Streex give me your cell# ZAT, (or Triz,) I can text you when I get free moments to play. 10-5, right? (No way on 2am!)

Oh yeah, btw, I totally got it! It's a good thing Zelda's a long way off.

I'm gonna prank text you.

Yeah, 10-5 is great for me. I'll PM you my #

My fault Z, I put that message on late last night and forgot to check. Then I remember and your offline ;(. Nintendo better get the Wii U online right I swear to god I wont buy it out of protest.

I had a game open for literally half an hour... I never got offline!!! I saw the yellow light come on while waiting and was like, "alright he's on!!!" waited 5 more minutes, no one joined.... checked... you were gone...

Seriously... if they are gonna include online play, and the games are as good as this one, wtf... No chat system? No mic usage? Wouldn't it be tits to actually communicate and say "follow me".

Also- I think you cannot connect to people who have unlocked stages (and selected them for play) that you have not.

Does everyone have all the SPOILER ALERT Ex levels?

Im only at stage 3-5. Most my time was with Zelda lately.

Oh, thats prolly why it wouldnt tell you I was on... I dunno... had my bro over last weekend and when he tried to connect, I had chosen 5-5 and he hadnt opened it yet. Wouldnt let us connect, even locally. So I chose one he had opened, and we connected fine.

I got sick of Zelda pretty fast considering I beat it once already this year. >.<

Antilles, sorry about not getting on last night was half way through Hall Pass. Probably would have rather played Mercs lol. I was amused with the connection attempt by the way.

LOL. Connect thru Streex? Heh.

@ZAT- not really a spoiler. I knew there had to be more stages... the box says 30, but the math just doesn't add up with the few stages shown across the 5 levels. Not even close.

I know but my bro thought there were just more levels within the 5 stages, not an EX mission.

Woo-hoooo! Z and I kicked cultist butt! Also, multiple axe-dudes! We did pretty good for our first try together. A few more and we'll be like a well-oiled machine!

Good time A. Sorry had to go cook dinner and punish the dog for dropping a deuce in the office right when we were Playing.
