put it as a 3dsware title, i would never pay full price for a game that’s extremely old and has been done a billion times, i don’t care what new stuff you’ve added, nothing could make me pay full price

Saturday, June 4, 2011 at 5:14 PMIf there was a development as dramatic as TetriSphere, done well, familiar yet innovative and using the 3D creatively rather merely as a gimmick, I can see that this would do well. But not for $60. $40-50 maybe.
