I think Riven holds up much better than Myst. I'd rather see that on the 3DS.

Graphically, yes. Try to get someone to play Riven nowadays, though and they will want to kill you. Some of those puzzles are downright SADISTIC.

@bigwhiteyeti I wouldn't call them sadistic, I'd call them ruthlessly logical. The game certainly requires a notepad to play.

Some of them require leaps of logic akin to jumping off a bridge. It is NOT an easy game. Nothing can be ignored, since it all ties to a greater puzzle.

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying no one has made anything quite as challenging lately.

Ah, Maximum Family Games, publishers of Sniper Elite on the Wii.

Seriously though, this port looks TERRIBLE.

Having 2 screens is so f-ing pointless.

Can't wait to pay $30 bucks for a 20 year old game......

Or I can wait until Nintendo's next handheld release and buy that port instead.

Release original content Nintendo. You're kind of a joke among the older crowd.

If you don't like what is released for Nintendo consoles, don't buy Nintendo hardware.

No way Myst is 20 years old yet.... Is it?

I don't want to feel older than I already am :(

Why are you blaming Nintendo? They didn't make this game. Seriously, man, Are you that stupid?

@JMC611 Nintendo licenses these games. So they're saying it's perfectly fine to rehash old shit.

You know that little Nintendo seal of approval on all boxes (and probably on your ass)? That's what I'm talking about.

Nintendo (and all other console owners) do not use 'this game is shit' as a reason to refuse licensing, and never have.

If the game is shit, it's up to publishers to decide whether or not to release it (i.e. if they think it will sell despite being shit, or not) and it's up to customers to not buy it. I don't see a problem with that; it works in every other creative industry (music, films, etc). Thankfully nobody is forcing us to buy mediocre products.

As for this one, I don't care about 3d, and I don't think I ever finished Myst, so maybe I'll consider it, but it doesn't sound especially promising.

@gamabunta You're a freaking idiot you know that. Do you know myst has been on the Mac OS, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, 3DO, Microsoft Windows, Atari Jaguar CD, CD-i, AmigaOS, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, and iOS. This isn't the first time they're ported myst on to a console, blame the Cyan or the 20 publishers who ported it.

In this day and age. This is as about as interesting as watching paint dry. It's up there with announcing 1995's Ridge Racer on the PSP.

@abercrombieco2 Oh dear God yes. I love this game. Is it sad I have 6 copies on various systems? Or 5 copies of "From Myst to Riven" with all the different covers?

@waterhand I own all six games, and... yeah, kinda. Mostly the "From Myst to Riven" part.

This is a ****ing joke, right?

Even walking from place to place is on the non-3d screen? The goddamn islands are what I wanted to see in 3D, not the pages of the damned books.

I swear Myst has had the laziest ports...

This should be ported and released on eshop for $9.99 (or even less). That would be perfect.

But I'll just find a pc version of it somewhere. I remember playing this when i was very young (actually one of my first videogames!) and being completely at a loss at what to do.

I would not be surprised to see this as a part of the one from the DS.... The problem here is where various media forms have been calling 3d over the past 10 or so years was nothing more than finer shading that provided the illusion of 3d. Whereas Lenticular 3d and Parallax 3d or even duo chrome-atic are more advadeced forms of de presentation. The sales media has tossed that word 3d around far to long with an inaccurate meaning just to sell more games. THIS, is what's wrong with people NOT correcting thier english, syntax, punctuation and just saying... 'well it's only the internet, I can get away with it here.. ' DUUUHHHHHHH. Laziness ALWAYS comes with a cost/price to pay...ALWAYS.
