Wow, this game is scoring 10/10 and 5/5 everywhere. A pleasant surprise.

It'll get a 9.0 on GS and Sony fanboys will post the lowest scores they can find from other websites... that's my prediction.

Didn't expect a 9 at all. I didn't even think it would get a 7. I'm more interested in the game now.

What's even better is that the score came out among the PS4 flops.

9.0 is good, the only thing wrong with getting it will be having to go to GameStop when hordes of X1 launch buyers will be flooding stores, and those still picking up PS4s

eShop it

it's okay, it might be fun to be in the launch crowd even if I'm not picking up an X1

I already have Professor Layton and Ace Attorney on my car and handful of smaller titles, don't need anything else taking up space, plus I prefer to have a tangible copy, I might prefer digital if Nintendo strengthens its digital rights in the future

So can every whiny ass "3DS tax!", "Bias gamespot", "Nintendo haters!" sheep finally SHUT THE FVCK UP? As I've said all along, if a game is good enough, it will get it's 9.

Looking forward to playing this, I found the Wii Zeldas to be great games but disappointing for Zelda titles. This one looks great though :D

It's just hard to believe that given how good a library the 3DS has (arguably the best between all platforms for 2013), it still did not score 9.0+ here until now.

GS is just harsher lately, and uses more of the scale. Which is great, compared to 9GN.

When games like the Last Of Us and Battlefield 4 only get AA, you need to realise this isn't the same scale that gave Perfect Dark Zero and Phantom Hourglass AAA scores :P

The handheld Zelda games are always received well at GameSpot, so it's not a super big surprise. Spirit Tracks was basically the exception, and that's because A) It was a rehash of Phantom Hourglass, and B) WTF was with the train and flute thing? (Seriously, I didn't even finish the game because blowing into my mic was so damn difficult that I couldn't get past one of the song parts.)

Anyone knows how long in time it took them to beat the game ? I'm interested in getting it, if it's short i'll just get Rune Factory 4 to kill time until the price drops ~

~16 hours seems to be the common estimate right now.

Lol 3DS games can't get pirated. Nearly three years later, the system has still not been effectively cracked yet.

This may be sad news to hear but it has already.. it's not really spread out because nintendo are at it with their lawyers but it has been... by the Cartrige again ~ and the SD card.There's nothing safe from pirates... i'll put my money that before the end of the year they'll be pirated PS4's.

There have not been any. There was a DS exploit on the 3DS, which makes it possible to play pirated DS games on the system, and there was one 3DS exploit which lets you make a flashcart for the 3DS that works with the following stipulations:

  • Only one game per flashcart
  • If you take the flashcart out of the slot, the save file is deleted
  • It only works on Firmware 3.0 or below (we're on v5, reaching v6 next month, and there are forced updates to play the latest games, and to access the online functions)

So nope, the 3DS has actually not been cracked, and there has been no piracy on it either. Same for the PS Vita.

@charizard1605: Well i can say i myself haven't seen it. However my cousin lives in a not very economical country where he has said he's been thinking of getting a 3DS and just getting a pirated set up for it that he's seen in shops, and when those shops start selling things that way, it's mainly because it does work.

Not really; in India, they tried selling you R4is for the DSi for the longest time, and those never work.

These shops sell you stuff that won't work all the time, because honestly, what are you going to do about it? It's not like your purchase, which is illegal to begin with, is protected by the law.
