Really interesting, whilst I can completely understand their point of view, I think this kind of clamp down could have a negative impact on the brand and how people see it, you can argue a case on either side for all sorts of videos... it'll be interesting to see where they draw the line.

@CasuallyDressed I thought this was fantastic fun, great humour, not a lot else to talk about with this game!

@Five-seveN yeah, it seems really fun - looking forward to the final game now!

I've been playing this in the office - and I've never played an animal crossing before - seems a really polished experience, great use of 3D, I can see how easy it would be to waste away endless hours come the final release.

I blame North Korea hackers.

I still need to get this game, shame on me.

Where's my cake?

It's really sad this wont come to virtual console, it's still a great game and already has 16:9 support!

Really, really, really interesting to see everyone's opinions on this... some great points raised by lots of you. It's also clear to see who didn't actually read the letter

Winners of the previous competition will be announced tomorrow

Bit of both going on hear, it could of been put across more constructively and therefore wouldn't attract the 'rage'.

I knew I loved this game, but watching that back brings back so many memories, amazing game! Best in class.

I was really impressed by this, I'm amazed at some of the 'meh' comments... these guys spent a year to make it, that's ALOT of effort and kudos for it. Great job and great example of how to showcase your skills in creative industry.

Good luck everyone, which games would you buy if you won?

@Haywired lol, love it!

<3

@zenarium Nintendo didn't announce the group code until it was live, kind of silly I know!

@TheKingOfTown try joining the group and see what happens!

Arrrrrrggghhhh! There, someone had to say it.

Y'all need to direct your complaints at Nintendo of America to give us more prizes

Gotta love LinkedIn

@Sun we're a worldwide website, with most traffic from the US so makes sense to add it. We'll be adding EU conversions soon.

Anyway, fantastic, fantastic game.

I always liked the phrase "future retro"

You're all far too good for me, good games though!

I'm going to first try and find my 3DS XL, then charge it, then hopefully be online... I'm [NL]Ant, of course.

It wouldn't surprise me if this passed by on Wii U, nevermind.

I've been playing this on my Xbox 360, which is of course a decent game, looking forward to seeing if the Wii U can top it though.

Really interesting development, let's see what Ubisoft say next.

F1 Race Stars is coming soon

Hmm, sounds like he wants a price drop.

@gingerbeardman indeed, that's how it looks...

@Kirk it's not "skewed" at all, it's a reflection, a representation of the readers of Nintendo Life - which is all it was meant to be.

It's also worth surveying our readers to see which elements of the system were most interesting to them, if we could survey all "hardcore" Nintendo fans then it would also be a valid survey of them, do you have their email addresses?

@pntjr yeah, we'll be posting a summary of the results in a week or so

Thanks for taking part, I'll be looking forward to reading your opinions!

Stranger things have happened - eg the Circle Pad Pro - but seems a rather silly concept to me!

I suddenly feel like ordering lots of LEGO.

I guess I'm one of the few that actually really enjoyed this game, tempted to dig it out and have a play. Awesome article too Damo!

Great interview Dan, thanks for the insight into your world. I'll be really interested to see where the platforms head over the next few years. Great stuff!

@OorWullie advertising has no connection with the content here at Nintendo Life, we are in the process of reviewing this game which will be live shortly.

@Sfzorzando our review will be live in the next couple of days... watch this space!

Obviously these things didn't happen before video games and movies.

The man is a legend, farewell Games Master.

I'm all for parental controls - that's a good thing, but this time-window thing is a rather poor implementation for 2012! Doh.

Wait so, I have to visit the eShop after 11pm to buy it? Even though I have the correct parental controls? That's madness.

The error message should be more forthcoming also... Ubisoft can't be happy.

@Bass_X0 please refer to Damien's post if you have any further questions.

It amazes me that Nintendo don't release the console in Japan first, must be killing their home fans!

Love it, it looks fantastic.

@jonny we've had consoles from Amazon UK with the game.

@superconsole doh, thankfully we have Amazon Prime which was worth it in this case!
