Myst listing pops up on Club Nintendo

We all know that Myst is heading to the 3DS, but it's not expected to do so until July. Seems that Club Nintendo is quite excited about the game, because they already have a listing! They might be jumping the gun a bit, but at least the listing helps people become aware of the game's existence! Thanks to Zeeroid for the heads up.

The Myst franchise makes me so sad. It deserves so much better than to exist as a series of crappy ports. Myst through Myst IV were amazing games and URU was great as well. Why can't we return to that?

... I thought it already came out, and it sucked really bad? Like how we all hoped it was going to be a version of realMYST, but then it turned out to be only touchscreen enabled, and kinda choppy/framey? Or was that just someone reviewing an early build that was *really* early, and now it IS better in some way?

It won't be better, as the MAIN grip was and will always be that it's qualified as "Myst 3D", yet the top screen is almost only used to show the title of the game... DURING the game...
It really sadden me, because I'm a great fan of the originals games, yet I dread I won't ever be able to play something fresh in this franchise.

Hell, if the port would have been done correctly, I would have bought it, it have been so long since I played it...

Are you thinking of the DS version? That came out a couple years ago and I heard it was craptastic.

It's the same half talented team porting the game.

People, please get realMyst via Steam if you want to play Myst in 3D. This is one of the greatest video game series of all time and these crappy ports are beyond pathetic.

No, it was definitely the 3DS version. Everyone was upset that it was using the top screen to just display a graphic while the age-old "classic" game played on the bottom....but it might as well have been the DS version, which makes no sense on a system that's backward compatible with most DS games.

I know, I was just hoping that since it "disappeared" for so long was because maybe they were actually addressing the fans disliking their decision. But apparently it didn't disappear, I just didn't realize that taking MYST-DS and adding a wider top-screenshot was going to take them this many months later to finish...so I was hoping they really were taking realMyst and making it actual-3D after all. Oh well. They're the ones being so lazy with something that's supposed to be a timeless classic...for that matter, if they wanted to do a lazy port so bad, they should have ported Riven and actually let people play that game again. I was only able to borrow it for a week or so when it was new, and that was no time to get anywhere in it during high school. Might as well make that game and its sequels available instead of rehashing the same thing every time.. :c
