I finally saw 3 (yes 3) screen shots from the upcoming Amazing Spiderman on Nintendo's 3DS. How were they...extremely ugly! If you can find this months issue of Nintendo Power magazine the pics are printed. It is possible that the screen shots are a low-res picture. Still if this is whats coming I'm very disappointed.
The worst part is that Amazing Spiderman on 360/PS3 looks to be one of the best games of the summer. On 3DS and Wii it looks to be a quick cash in. Beenox gives a reason why it's so different from it's big brother versions. Here's a portion of the interview.
S: What is the Nintendo 3DS version of The Amazing Spider-Man like? Retailer descriptions say that only the HD versions are open-world. Will the 3DS version be close to the console versions at all?
DB: The Amazing Spider-Man for the Wii and for the 3DS is actually based of the same code base and game assets which means that they share the same game play.
We’ve optimized the experience on the Wii and 3DS to take advantage of their unique platform differences and motion controls, which means that players will have a different experience with the game on those platforms.
While the Wii and 3DS versions won’t have Spidey “roaming” between story missions, there are still plenty of collectibles, unlockables, and in-game challenges awaiting the wall-crawler, on top of large areas to sling through and intense combat with numerous enemy types. The Wii takes combat and web-slinging to new levels of immersion thanks to its motion controls, and the 3DS version will also have several unique mini-games that use its touch-screen.
If held side-by-side, all of the “level based” missions are very similar to what will ship on the Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms, just optimized to fit the Nintendo platforms’ unique capabilities.
What's so funny about this is that Gameloft just showed it's new trailer for their Amazing Spiderman game on IOS/ Android. Guess what...it's fully open world and looks amazing. Check out the trailer below.

So obviously they could have made a full 3D world for Spiderman to roam around. Beenox just decided not to. Spiderman on 3DS and Wii could still be a fun game...but the odds are stacked against it. Plus why spend $30 on the 3DS version (or $50 for Wii) of Spiderman when you could pay $7 for your phone or tablet.
