The Wii version of Rooms is similar to the DS version in terms of the story setup and gameplay. In the story mode, you play as a young gentleman who receives a puzzle as a birthday gift from someone called Mr. Book. The golden puzzle immediately sucks him into this bizarre world with snoring treasure chests and sliding rooms.
Hudson have made some of the best puzzle games on the DS, but sadly none of them have made it out of Japan. Fortunately, Nintendo published this one so it has been released in Europe. Unfortunately it’s not nearly as good as some of their others. The DS has been a wonderful console for puzzlers (those who like a little puzzle-solving) in the past, but recently there’s been a bit of a dearth of them, so I while do recommend the game for those looking for a puzzle game and have exhausted all the others, it doesn’t match up anywhere near some of the other games on the system like Picross, Picross 3D and the Layton games.
The new price drop is set to be supported by a marketing campaign featuring a wide range of software, from recent releases such as Rooms: The Main Building and the Professor Layton titles, to the perpetually successful Mario Kart DS. The price drop is an official reduction from Nintendo, and has been revealed as being with immediate effect.
i want to believe that this happened cause 3ds release will be sooner than we may think....just positive thinking over here :P
I think they dropped the price to appeal people who want to hold themselves back to buy 3DS couple of months later.
All I want is release before the end of this year, any sooner would be a bonus
I agree it probably did. They won't want to launch the 3DS at more than £149, surely?
I hope so
but I guess the tech itself and the 3d screen will make it cost a little more than we think it would
I've been reading (rumors) on other sites that the 3DS will launch at $249.99. I don't believe it will launch at that though, my guess is $199.99
I think it will go somewhere between £150-200, I think £180 might be a good estimate. Nintendo is probably going to prove me completely wrong though.
If you are that ungrateful then give it to me. Otherwise just shut up and enjoy it already.
Maybe i should pick one up for my little sis she only has a DSLite atm, but with the 3Ds coming next year maybe i should wait
Just wait for the 3DS, unless you feel your little sis probably wont need the 3D functionality.
Worthplaying: Rooms: The Main Building for the Wii seems to be trapped between a play design that's suited to a smaller distraction game and dreams of being a full-scale, widely released, properly realized Wii game. Unfortunately, that trapping immensely weakens it, causing the graphics to be just sufficiently detailed to slow the gameplay, introducing horrendously slow controls that could have been easier and smoother on a PC.
