depends on what the importance of marriage is in the game. i know that sounds stupid but if it plays a large role it would cause a disconnect for myself. considering these types of games rely on the avatar being "you" i'd rather stick with animal crossing. if marriage is a minor role then i may pick this up but i'm currently playing thru several titles i missed out on last year including dream team and wonderful 101 and kirby and mario kart 8 are due soon.

I find the graphicsto be breathtaking with the 3d on. While they do basically limit to forground background its definately more then 2 layers as various background elements have various depths as well. Even the smudges that filter over most of the environments and characters gives off a neat layering effect. This game is absolutely ugly everywhere else but is beautiful on the 3ds. I also love the unexpected color pallets used and the combinations of assests are visually striking. Granted the bosses are weak odd and some innapropriately shaped, big beanie! And its definately not the masterpiece the original is imo. Beware the Boo Brigade! >_<

@ThomasBW84 not sure if anyone mentioned it but nintendolife is featured over the super mario world tile on the US eshop home page calling it "one of the greatest games ever created."

While Nintendo isnt doing the Wii U any favors, theyve completely lost a customer in their next console. Drought after drought. I bought the Wii U to play games. And I use it mainly for youtube. I will no longer purchase another Nintendo console until well into its lifespan so Ill have a decent selection of titles to play. My wallet is literally begging to spend on something other then another 2dpost platformer or lego title lol

i liked it but i agree with everyone else who is wondering why we'll have ANOTHER wii u draught on our hands. i'm passing on dk. so from nov of 2013 to may of 2014 i have no new content to play on the console. aside from a gba vc release or 2 and nes remix 2. i thought they would touch on discounts or whatever they referred to for their loyal fans. as someone whos filled up their 3ds's 16gb sd card and a nice chunk of my 500gb external harddrive for wii u i was interested to know whats what. ppl may not be flocking to the wii u but i love the machine and my wallet is BEGGING to be opened!

<3 sweet

I expect something that will be released btwn dk and mk on wii u or ill be furious. Im platformed out and if i had to slog thru another 2dday platformer i rather have kirby on 3ds then the new dk on wii u.

I love lost worlds and im a little saddened that boom wont be expanding on the tubular level design. The wii u vers was fantastic, i only played the 3ds demo and didnt care for that vers, but the story and the sinister six were lackluster. The biggest downfall with lost worlds for me were the shoehorning of the wisp power ups and some of the onrails 2d stages later in the game requiring perfect timing tho they remedied that with the 100 rings equate a 1up patch.

How do you obtain celebi? There was none in the bank or on my x file.
Nvm took the nonlazy approach and figured it out.

By far my fav vers of SMB and if it comes to US ill def get even tho i have ambassador smb for nes on my 3ds. The smaller field of view never bothered me, the ability to scroll the screen gave an adventure/slower pace to the game. And this is by far my favorite speed run version of the game if you just charge straight ahead thru all levels blindly jumping at points.

@paburrows its a much better service now as more shows are supported as opposed to the first 8 months of the wii us launch but its still not a defining feature that people should feel left out of for not having. Youd actually be better off just schedulibg with other mii users to comment on a specific miiverse post then wasting your time with this app.

Its not that great if a service actually. During the course of a program you're not given a chatroom for an overall episode. You're able to comment on chapters as an episode plays but these are very laggy and don't seem to be synched with the episode. Ive used it twice and the first time i attemptedthe episode i was watching lacked a tviitag and the app was useless. Its a great concept but its poorly executed. Im not a sports guy tho so i cant comment on that.

I always found it ironic that these christian based games were unlicensed and therefore stealing from nintendo. Good morals for children there.

Not that i should admit this but i met someone on draw something while randomly paired and we ended up dating for a year. And i mean real world dating too. They ended up leaving me to move to deadhorse alaska for work and i wouldnt uproot my life on the east coast for them. True story. Lol

@SirQuincealot i loved this aspect. Adds a tad adventure feel to the game by forcing you to stop and check your surroundings and makes it more difficult!

By far my favorite version of SMB and while I havr the NES oroginal due to ambassador status, this is a day one if it makes it to the states!!!

Am i the only one who sees the irony in the complainer's surname?

I wasn't expecting much but it was a missed opportunity for sure. Donkey Kong doesnt scream that awesomeness that is the gamepad which is whats lacking in Nintendo adverts as of now..

Honestly i hope the wii u doesnt sell too well and more third parties abandon ship. I love when Nintendo takes the reigs entirely and fills those genres that other parties left behind. The gamecube had my second favorite software lineup, next to dreamcast, because nintendo was super experimental and delivered on the goods. If the wii u fails to sell another single console it wont be the end of nintendo so it wouldn't matter anyway.

Perhaps the planet itself will spin? Also could gravity mechanic be in the sonic lost world level as well? There was something to the stage that they said theyd reveal at a later date?

Ive never encountered a shiny and ive played every gen with a combined 1000+ hours of playtime. I hav a masterball in X that I will save till the faithful encounter.

I so want a fire grass pokemon. Gourgeist was a missed opp. But a fire water will suffice.

One of my fav pinball titles. I never cared for the zens series. But id rather hav this on 3ds.

Im sort of hoping for an hd zelda game that resembles the original legend of zelda official art. Toon shaded and long orange haired green and brown wearing link!

Venusaur is a beast!

If every entry in mario or metroid or zelda was cookie cutter then id be screaming for new ip. However most games are fundamentally different in the way the player approaches the game so long live existing ip! I wished however they did a larger scale new ip. I liked dillon. Loved pushmo. Eh for sakurai. KI:U if youd count it was awesome. Never played harmoknights.

Also in amie if you pet arorus' ice patches your hand freezes.

Personally I enjoy the fact that as a gaymer there are little tidbits here and there that speak to my community. "I want to work for a handsome manager!" Sometimes its nice to be included.

i think the Zelda universe just needs to branch out. theres enough characters and interesting lore to support other genres. id like a sequel, at least in terms of gameplay, to adventure of link. or perhaps a turn based rpg. or a game starring and detailing ganondorfs upbringing in the gerudo desert and eventual corruption leading into OoT. Or even those DS tingle games. I thought this was going to be the case after crossbow training...

I wasnt pleased with legends delay. Multiplatform never bothered me but i already had my fall lineupp planned. Ubisofts lost sale went to capcom and their stelllar mh3u release. Maybe in january ill pick it up but if its cheaper secondhand ubisoft still wont technically get the sale. Its a shame because legends was the reason i day oned my wii u.

Gamebreaking bug reported with saving in lumiose city. Anyone heard? I downloaded and it didnt effect me on X.

I actually enjoy urban championship. Hav it as a 3d "classic"

@DiSTANToblivion hopefull they improve her standard attacks. Shes too weak.

Does this mean I can cut thrown pikmin in half?

I want the keychain pokemon as a keychain for my keys. Merchandise opportunity!

Its a nice gesture... but it wont convince me of purchasing any two tribes' titles in the future. I dont game on a pc. So their solution doesn't suit me at all and yes I only purchased the title for the level editor because I'm a sucker for games that allow you to create.

The only designs im not keen on are some of the evolutions introduced in gen IV for tangela. Nobopass and lickylicky being my least favorite. And luvdisc.

the small pool of new pokemon shouldn't be a surprise as when the game was announced GF mentioned they were only expecting to produce 50 new pokemon this generation... has the short term memory of the internet taken effect? also, with over 650, I won't spoil the final count, pokemon running around... the series is not lacking in diversity.

@CanisWolfred i dont use the forums here. Im referring to google yahoo search. If this is your first time exploring the internet then the lesson learned is stay out of forums the week leading up to a games release

To be fair you had to specifically look for the leaks to find them. If the game was spoiled for you then you shouldnt have been searching for the leaks. I spoiled the game for myself and im excited. Cannot wait..

The original mario os a must play. The first level is brilliant in how it teaches the player the ropes of what to expect without the literal tutorial everyone depends on now.

@rjejr same here. Really wanted the level editor. Was surprised when i purchased it that it wasnt included. Definately won't day one two tribes anymore unless what they promised and advertised makes it in.

The legend of zelda series hasnt made ganondorf out to be evil for the sake of evil. What little backstory we have of him paints a tragic figure. I do see the parallel between the real world struggles of middle eastern and western ideology but i find it to be more enlightening then offensive. As far as sexism goes they clearly overlooked the plethora of strong female characters represented in the game. And the arguement of animal abuse is laughable as the animals in the series DO have a symbiotic relationship with mankind. I don't remember any slaughterhouses in the series.

@Superconsole do HMs make a return and if so in what capacity?

are HMs back? and if so in what capacity? nothing is more annoying then having a super bad donkey pokemon only to have to find a PC to switch out with something that can cut a small twig blocking your path... or limiting your moveset to allow your flying pokemon the ability to fly.

Sonic looks like he has a giant moob on his chest. ol i was hoping for a classic sonic interpretation but this is good news! Altho smasg is centered around the games id love too see team rockets jesse and james alongside pokemon trainer to showcase nintendos reach outside games. And give us a pokemon villain.

They reveal fighters on the 12th of every month. Toom link was revealed with the release of wwhd in japan. So we'll be getting another in two weeks

@Austroid Maybe they are hokding back on a reveal for a virtual console release if fzero gx? Id wait for that. Itll be epic. ^_^

@Austroid toon links reveal was to coincide with wwhd's release. Given there was rampant speculation he wouldnt be in it other then a cameo on a 3ds stage. Falcon is to original of a smasher to not be in. Zelda too.

Yes toon link! I for one enjoyed the noncellshaded toon link design in brawl and am glad they kept it for smash wiiu3ds
