3 on 3 NHL Arcade Hands On Preview (Gamespot)

[Steve_OS]

Gamespot has posted their hands on preview of 3 on 3 NHL Arcade.

Quote:

"Hearkening back to the days of the skinny, medium, and fat guys from Ice Hockey on the NES, 3 on 3 NHL Arcade forgoes actual NHL teams for a handful of NHL stars that are organized in one of three categories: fast, strong, and all-around. There are forty players to choose from, including five goalies: Martin Brodeur, Rick DiPietro, Henrik Lundqvist, and the aforementioned Luongo (Personal Note of Outrage From a San Jose Sharks Fan: Where in the sweet feathery hell is Evgeni Nabakov?)."

Ugh, I dunno. Definately going to be checking out a demo, but there's a million ways they could screw it up. Some people would say that EASHL is "arcade" enough as it is, withouth the giant heads further driving home the point.

I'll stick to NHL Hitz Pro or even any EA Hockey game before 08.

[MC Fatigue]

That looks extremely stupid.

And why would I spend more money to buy an arcade hockey game when I have NHL 09?

[tgalv]

i'd rather they focus their efforts on fixing 09 or creating next year's version, but if it isn't completely awful i'll probably pay the ten bucks.

I don't agree with charging #10, but it is a business.

I think this should have been included with nhl09. I hope nhl10 will include both BAP and 3on3 arcade modes.
