She called me while she was playing the handheld system, which hits U.S. stores March 27, and spoke very highly of the experience. Annie was playing "Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition," which is the game I'm most tempted to purchase when I buy the system. She said the 3D effect, while somewhat temperamental, is convincing and easy on the eyes. The effect isn't like watching a 3D movie, where things seem to come toward you, but rather like looking through a window. Overall? She told me (and Twitter) the system gets a thumbs up. "Way up," she said.
At one point during our conversation, Annie handed her phone to a nearby Capcom employee so I could ask some specific questions about "Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition." I learned more about the game's very cool StreetPass mode, including how the collectible figures obtained in that mode have specific stats and levels, and how there are some reasonable limits on the mode's functionality so that two people can't keep walking past each other every few minutes to quickly unlock all content. The employee also affirmed some details I read in Nintendo Power about how friendly the fighting game is for casual players.
The conversation left me very jazzed about the game — and Annie's favorable experience with the system made me even more eager to try and buy. I can't wait until I get my hands on the system!
