The Megaman Zero series will always be my favorite series of platformers ever. They were difficult, but man were they fun! It's a shame they aren't bringing this game or the others to the eShop.

Ha! That was great! I especially like the voice Rory was using. Very difficult to take seriously.

Looks amazing! I bet it would cost more than an iPhone though. XD

@ramstrong Hmmm... yeah, you do raise a fair point. And that comment was directed toward Nintendo. But I don't know, I just kinda find it hard to come to terms with this, but i'll take it. Also, I hope I didn't cause any anger or conflict between us. If I did, sorry!

Ok, lets set one thing straight. Making a game, and playing a game are two different things. So when LPers play games and post their videos on Youtube, it is their work. Sure, Nintendo makes the actual game, but the LPer adds his/her own elements, and play the game their own way (Commentary, way of playing game). That is completely theirs, so Nintendo doesn't really have a right to just take their cash. Some people actually put a lot of work into their videos, and to have their hard earned money taken away is just morally wrong. And don't give me any of that "their fans are all they need" junk, because some of them rely on that money, and I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't need it as much as they do. Sure, nobody promised them the money like LZ said up there, but still, it is technically the LPer's money as they earned it, but as someone else said before, "just because they can do it doesn't make it right".

I'm kinda appalled that Nintendo would do this. Lets Players do make money off Nintendo's games, but Nintendo is already making a lot of money off of their games already. Some famous LPers do put a lot of effort and time into their videos, so taking away their hard earned cash does seem a little harsh. There's nothing wrong with just making money off of videos like some of you think. College is not for everybody, and I'm sure they made videos in the first place, because they really love doing it, and not to only make money. I understand Nintendo's viewpoint, but taking their money doesn't seem quite right.

I've got to admit, that's a pretty smart move. I wanted to buy AC3, but it was so expensive. I'm hoping that AC4 will be a bit more in my price range.

Meh. I'll stick with my Nyko Power Pak +.

Ugh, I really hope Nintendo keeps their games on their own systems, because who would need to buy a 3DS when they could just play Pokemon or Mario on their tablets or smartphones? I'd say a good amount of people these days own a smartphone or tablet, so selling games on other platforms would be great business for games, but it would be extremely detrimental to Nintendo's consoles. I would really hate it if Nintendo just produced games and abandoned consoles.

Oh yeah, you guys at Nintendolife also forgot to mention that there's a Regular Show game coming out in the fall as well. Similar to Adventure Time, Regular Show's creator J.G. Quintel will be working with Wayforward on the game as well. I'm Pretty excited for both games!

It appears not a lot of people here really enjoyed the first game, which kinda bums me out. I loved the game even though it was pretty short and easy. I can only imagine the gameplay to be more frantic and difficult this time around though since they are actually putting in a co-op mode. Hopefully it turns out to be just as fun, but intense like with the New Super Mario Bros. and Rayman games.

@Pod Again, fan service. I don't think Nintendo would've added it in out of their own free will. Plus it's DLC so it's not like you have to actually see these pictures in the actual game.

Meh. Doesn't really appeal to me. All the stuff the device can tell you about Pokemon sound like stuff you could commonly find online. Plus, it doesn't look like it would fit on my 3DS since it has the Nyko Power Pak + installed.

I'm a pretty noobish Tactician, so Casual Mode all the way. Plus, all the characters seem to leave a lasting impression on me, so even if one of them does die, it would probably keep me up at night.

I guess Nintendo could be a bit more assertive to 3rd Party developers about canceling/delaying their games, but like so many other people have said above, one must be patient. Once more games get developed for the Wii U, it will build up momentum, and eventually more developers will take interest in the system. The 3DS went through the same thing, so I think the Wii U will do just as well, or possibly even better.

Hmm... Well the things he said about the 3DS, and the things he's saying now don't exactly line up. I mean he was dissing every prominent aspect/feature of the 3DS, which in my opinion, is what made the DS and 3DS so famous. If he didn't like the 3D, the clamshell design, or the touch screen, then what does he like about it?

A picky gamer like Fish shouldn't even be allowed to play this game. He should just be happy that a great game like that even came out. The controls are great. Sure the camera control isn't the best but, it doesn't take much to get used to it. Take Kid Icarus: Uprising for example. It was difficult to control the camera as well, but once you got used to it, it was a great experience. And what's wrong with the clamshell design? In case this guy hasn't noticed, the screen and the 3DS itself would be more prone to breaking. If it weren't for it, my 3DS probably would've broke the other day when I dropped it. Plus, the touch screen and the 3D are not gimmicks. Although the touch screen is not always used to its fullest potential, there are games that do like Kid Icarus: Uprising, or Colors! 3D. Furthermore, it adds more versatility, like controls for rythm games. Same thing goes for the 3D. Its supposed to give the player more depth into the game. If this guy can't see any of this, he doesn't even deserve to look at a 3DS let alone own one.

Wow, a lot of you guys don't seem to really like the game.... I thought it was great though. It's certainly not like the traditional Castlevania games, but I think it works rather well. With all the past games having all the same elements such as exploration, the games seem kinda repetitive to me, and I personally think that this a fresh new step forward in the series.

Although it's 2013 and nobody is probably going to see this, I'd still like to point out that what Thomas said was right. We all don't like the same game, so why arguing about what score this game should've gotten is kinda pointless. Sure, I thought the game should've gotten an 8/10 (and still think so), and was kinda angry about it, but now that I've opened my eyes a bit more, I really agree with Thomas now, and I kinda feel like a jerk for used to thinking so ignorantly.

I don't know about you guys but I'm getting a Dragon type vibe from this one.

Merry Christmas everyone! Yall also forgot Happy Hanukkah !

can you still use local multiplayer on it?

Aw! No Adventure Time demo? I hope it'll come out next week...

WOW!! Those posters look amazing! Especially the one With Kid Icarus! I really wish I got platinum status this year... Those free downloads sound pretty good though

wow! This really caught me up on Game Boy history!

if there aren't going to be any tutorials or guides in this game, I don't know if I'll get it... it seems really fun and all but it looks like it's really complicated at the same time :/ I just looked up some information about BASIC programming and I have to say... It looks really confusing. Or maybe that's just me.

I really didn't notice a lot of the problems that were mentioned in the review. And while I did notice that the sprites are a little unclear and small due the 3DS's screen, I really didn't mind it that much, and it really didn't take away much from the experience or make it harder to play in any way because it was extremely easy to get used to. All the problems stated in the review sound like something that you would easily miss and get use to easily as well unless you're really picky about these kinds of things. I would have given it a 9/10.

I really loved the 3DS demo. I thought it was really fun beating up enemies, and chucking Batarangs at them. Also, grabbing enemies and chucking them at the walls was pretty fun and satisfying as well. Plus, it was pretty fun and creative using the Sensor suit, sneaking up on enemies and taking them down. Also, you have to admit, beating up Robin does bring up a laugh or two.

this game looks pretty cool! especially the Zelda Battle quest game. But one question, do you absolutely NEED a wii remote plus? or can you just play without it, on solo? Because, I've never actually owned a wii so I don't have a remote Also, could you just use a regular wii remote for multiplayer on any of the other games? Thanks

NOOOOO DON"T LAG ON ME

Just played the demo. I couldn't even put it down until 2 hours after. Although I've never played a Rayman game before, this is definitely a great game. I am totally getting this.

Kid Icarus: Uprising: The multiplayer is extremely addictive, plus I haven't beat the story mode yet.
Mario Kart 7: Nothing beats some intense kart racing
Spotto!: I still haven't beat this DSiware game yet. Plus, it's pretty fun and challenging at times.
Rayman Origins Demo: Even though this is just a demo, I'm hooked onto it. Plus I played it for 2 hours straight.

It's a shame Kid Icarus: Uprising didn't make it :/ It's such a great game. It's almost unbelievable that it's not up there. Nintendo had so many ads and promotions for that game. Hopefully sales can pick up maybe during the holidays.

Are you serious?! The one time I spend ALL my coins on a reversible pouch THESE games come out! I didn't think the games would be great this time around, but I was clearly WRONG. CURSE YOU NINTENDO!

Because why would people need to buy a new nintendo game system, when they already have mario on their phones? This would really affect the sales of all the systems, and potentially get rid of VC, because, now almost everyone has a phone today.

If they put mario and zelda on smart phones, that would retain people from buying the Wii and 3DS, and other nintendo platform right?
but yes, a Nintendo phone would make great sense!!!

How could Kid Icarus: Uprising get left out on the 3DS sales? And how did Pokemon Heart Gold And Soul Silver fall behind on the DS? Dang... D:

The UK and and Japan get all the good stuff! America gets nothing... T_T

Kid Icarus: Uprising has came out a while ago. Are you guys at Nintendo Life going to amend the review yet? The controls should be A LOT more comfortable with the stand.
