Im still playing it. Trying to improve my scores on balloon trip. Think its gonna be a while until i fet tired of it, if i get tired of it.

After playing Pikmin Adventure, I would love a full-fledged mission-based Pikmin game for the 3DS. (The console games, whilst undeniably good, aren't really my cup of tea. Pikmin Adventure is awesome.)

I love Pikmin adventure, but I do not think it feels like Pikmin enough to me. There is no strategy or anything, just hit and throw. I do wish it were a bit harder. I wouldn't mind a 3DS game similar to it, though, if it has some strategy aspect to it. I used to think that Pikmin 3 would be released on 3DS (before Wii U was announced)

I am overall surprised by Nintendo Land. It exceeded my expectations of being just a simple tech demo-like collection. It's actually quite extensive, unlike games like Wii Sports was. My personal favourite, I think, is probably Pikmin Adventure, or maybe Crash Course. You know, even though I crash over... and over.... and over again.

I have to say I am much more pleased with this pack in game than I was with Wii Sports. My son and I played a few of the games on mulitplayer and we had a blast. Took me awhile to get use to the control schemes of some of the games but definitely a great pack in game. Where as Wii Sports just felt like a bunch of demos Nintendoland feels like a full blown game. This is going to keep my busy till I get Assassins Creed III.

So, this is pretty cool. I really love Ninja Castle and Octopus Dance. Man Octopus Dance is hard though! I can't get pass stage 3! I'm enjoying this whole game more than I thought I would.

I just had an awesome 2 hours playing Nintendo Land with my family! It was a total blast seeing my mom play Zelda!

Yeah I know what you mean. I mainly played the Mario chase game the Zelda one and the Yoshi one where you have to draw a line on the game pad to get Yoshi to eat some fruit to open a locked door and had a blast. As I said this was a great pack in game.

Me and my brother actually just played the Yoshi game! It's really tough. Not what I was expecting. I liked that one. The music in this whole game is really sweet too.

I got it today! It's so much fun. I love Donkey Kong's Crash Course and the Ninja one. My friend came over a couple hours ago. We played a couple rounds of the competitive games but she wanted to do co-op more. We finished Pikmin and half of the Metroid one. One weird thing that happened is that we made her Mii yet it didn't show up as a character to choose. Meh. I'll find out why tomorrow.
This game really surprised me. I thought it wouldn't be that fun but it really is a blast. Makes me wish they had a NintendoLand IRL. Without all the dying.

You have to favorite a Mii in order for it to show up in Nintendoland.

I have yet to check out the Donkey Kong game. Due to all the Christmas stuff that was going today I didnt get a whole lot of time to check everything out. Hopefully I will get some more time tomorrow after work.

I've heard this thing that you can draw pictures for others to see, what is that?

Miiverse.

Ok, how do I use Miiverse and how can I show others my drawings?

To activate Miiverse just tap the icon on the home menu or the suspended menu. Now it will always be available. If you want to send something from Nintendoland just go to the game and click the bubble in the bottom left and draw.

either I suck or unexpected difficulty increase compared to Wii Sports Resort, which was only challenging if you played it enough.

Honestly the main thing I got out of this so far is YOU CAN TRIPLE JUMP, HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?! Seriously, it's apparently entirely pointless but that's a pretty awesome touch nonetheless.

Nintendo Land blew my expectations away. Not that I doubted the game's potential, but I'm just stunned by the sheer amount of charm and content compared to past "casual" games like Wii Sports Resort.

Metroid Blast is my favorite attraction by far. It's just awesome flying around in Samus' gunship; it's very immersive gameplay. And the boss battles with the animatronic Kraid and Ridley are epic too.

I've gotten very good at Takamaru's Ninja Castle too. I got a 99.2% takedown rate using the old-fashioned finger method and only missing 3 ninjas throughout the whole attraction. The Japanese music is very cool.

Zelda: Battle Quest is great to play too. Shooting at evil, but cute stuffed pigs with a bow and arrow has never been more fun. Again, Nintendo Land just bursts with charm around every corner.

Beat that frustating ninja star game...

SPOILER

to find out that our princess? is in another castle

Spoiler end

Yeah, what was that about? I'm not really sure how to save her. I did a whole second play through and noticed no changes.

Well, this game blows Wii Sports out of the water...
