Prepare to Die a Million Spikey Deaths in VVVVVV for 3DS

This seems like a great fit, and will have inoffensive 3D I hope.

Brad just said yesterday on Tested's podcast that this would never happen. Get those eggs ready Will and Norm.

This is a brilliant, brilliant idea. Great way to support the fledgling download store for 3DS (unless it's on a cart, which is kind of a dumb idea).

VVVVVV, which has players shifting gravity back and forth while navigating a world of very mean spikes, is coming to 3DS via the eShop, complete with new levels and the promise of "future updates."

That game is worth buying just for the soundtrack. Everyone should play it!

I never understood all the love for this game, and that's coming from someone who loves this "genre". I beat it but wasn't too impressed, never really struggled with any parts of it.

Wow, the first actual reason to get an 3DS (even though I already own two copies of it on PC)

I have this on the Mac and it's a incredible game. Also Brad said this game would never be on a platform other than PC on the Tested podcast. Does that mean he has to eat his words?

He never said that. Nothing he said even comes close to that. He could have said "THOSE PEOPLE WHO PLAY DARK SOULS SURE ARE UPTIGHT, TAKE EVERYTHING PERSONALLY, AND HAVE KNEEJERK REACTIONS THAT MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF BABIES" though.

Well done Terry

wow this is like the perfect handheld game. if i had a 3ds i'd buy the fuck out of it.

I loved VVVVVV for the pc, and now I will love it on the 3DS.

Going to download this 9384789345789568934568934567893465789634578963495679346789568934657893465934657896345796345789634578963457967966789576345796345796345693645789634593489573489578935789346758959345895 times. HAS ALL MY MONEY!

VVVVVV is pretty awesome. That is all.

I won't buy this because I don't have 3ds, but this game is excellent and more people need to play it.

Hell yeah!

This is a brilliant, brilliant idea. Great way to support the fledgling download store for 3DS (unless it's on a cart, which is kind of a dumb idea).

I KNOW! I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T PLAY MY COPY THIS WEEKEND, EITHER! HIGH-FIVE!

VVVVVV is my favourite under-$20 game to come out in 2010. For a game with literally one gameplay mechanic, there are a bunch of clever variations on how you have to use it. I thought the idea to give each room a unique name was pretty cool, and the soundtrack is phenomenal.

Can't see myself getting this on 3DS, but VVVVVV's a great game :D

This is awesome!

VVVVVV are for spikes.

Few games have given me the same sadistic pleasure as VVVVVV. Whenever I'm confused as to why people are so into games like Dark Souls, I remember how much pain I've put myself through playing and beating games like VVVVVV, Super Meat Boy and Bit.Trip Runner.

Within that context, it all makes sense.

If you never played VVVVVV on a Mac or PC, Nicalis is about to give you a new option: 3DS.

VVVVVV, which has players shifting gravity back and forth while navigating a world of very mean spikes, is coming to 3DS via the eShop, complete with new levels and the promise of "future updates."

VVVVVV is currently slated for a 3DS debut in "late 2011."

I can't wait to hate myself all over again.
