If you're not entirely sure what I'm talking about, sliding puzzles tend to crop up in games like Resident Evil or other third-person adventure titles, wherein you'll come across a picture that's typically missing one piece. The puzzle is all out of whack, and you need to slide pieces along a set board to get everything back in order. These can be some of the most frustrating puzzles you'll come across, but I know that it tends to be a piece of cake for quite a few people. Rooms takes this concept and builds an entire game around it, and for the most part, it works pretty well."
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 agree it probably did. They won't want to launch the 3DS at more than £149, surely?
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
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.
