I have a PS3. I do like it, but the fact that I have no desire to get a PS4 or any kind of Xbox, but have owned every major Nintendo console from GBC onwards shows where I feel the real quality gaming is. To me, Nintendo games are just more fun. The only thing I lament is that more FF and Tales games stay on Playstation than get ported to Nintendo, but they're really the only two series I love on Playstation. Nintendo has at least a dozen series I adore. And I actually own more Tales and FF games on Nintendo colsoles than my PS.

Hmmm, there are quite a few games that I keep coming back to, but I'd say the top one is Wind Waker. Even though it's a single player game, my family and friends love to sit around and watch me play it since I've run through it so many times I've become an expert at it. It's become a delight to me and family to play through it again and again, even 10 years later as we experience the WiiU remake (though we still prefer the original).

This will be a must-have for me! I love all kinds of number and logic puzzles. :3

I missed out on the gold nunchuck, but was lucky enough to snag a set of these.

Maybe picking up Wario's Woods on my 3DS, but I haven't really decided yet, so I didn't vote.

I never use the stand with KI:U. Mostly because I have to hold the 3DS very close (bad eyesight) so being hunched over the stand on a table would be pretty uncomfortable.

Usually grass starters are my favourites, but I like all three Kanto starters equally. So I'm not going to nerd-out this time.

Agreed with everything Thomas has said. I got into video games kind of late for my age- I started with the Gamecube when I was in my late teens- and so immensely enjoyed VC games like Link's Awakening on my 3DS that I had missed when they were new. But the watered down stuff they give now? I have no nostalgia to power my purchases, and all I see is old shovelware, dotted with the odd game actually worth playing. I think that GBA games would be phenominal on the 3DS, even though I still have all my favourites and a GBA that still works great, I'd love to have them on my 3DS and have them all on one system without lugging the carts around everywhere. I can't see why nintendo deliberately won't give consumers a lot of what they want when ports should be fairly painless. It seems an odd practise for a company who's trying to make money. I'm getting more and more frustrated about it and probably would have switched over to Playstation, except that Nintendo's games are far more fun to me.

Both of course! Whoo-ha!

Will have my copies of X & Y in about an hour, I'm so psyched!!!

Auuuugggh, is it tomorrow yet?!?!?!?

I'm just keeping my internet surfing to a minimum and not reading other comments until I've had a chance to play the games myself. I'm on tenterhooks over these games, so I'm trying hard not to spoil it too much for myself.

I admit to liking Mama games, but I need to be in just the right mood for them. They can be kinda overwhelmingly cheerful.

It'll be a rough week for any devs publishing alongside X & Y. I'm just picking those up at retail, so no DLing for me this week. Still working on Rune Factory 4 too....

The only spoilers I've seen are the final evos of the starters... which is the one thing I DID want spoiled so I could pick the one I like best from the beginning. Too bad I ended up not liking any of them...

Hmmm, I do kinda agree on the sexist slant, but the rest of it? He's just digging for things to jab at. I must admit that as a woman playing video games, I'm a little tired of women being portrayed as damsels in distress... but I love Zelda games so much that even if I never get to play as Zelda rescuing Link (my ultimate gaming dream) I'll still keep playing them.

Torchic, Bulbasaur, and either Chespin or Froakie. I actually don't like any of the kalos starters, so I'll be bumping whichever I choose off my team as soon as I can. . Can't say I really like Torchic, either. It was my least favourite of the Hoenn bunch. In fact, Gen I was the only time I liked all three, so maybe I'll just be using one of those for my starter, provided we get them early in the game.

Already have it since I preordered the limited WiiU bundle. Been enjoying my old favourite immensely, though I still view the GC version as flawless. In fact, I still prefer that version, as the overly sparkly HD graphics can be hard on the eyes at times..

Eh, nothing interests me this week. Just as well, I have Rune Factory 4 coming in the mail tomorrow. <3

Eh, I'm sticking with my yellow pikachu XL. :3

I admit I've hacked pokemon in the past, but NEVER battled/ traded them. I just liked to be able to look at some of the event pokes on my game. I wouldn't ever actually use them, especially against another player... even though when I hacked them I gave them completely normal base stats/ moves/ abilities/ etc. I think people who use hacked pokemon in competitions are rotten cheaters and should be ashamed of themselves.

I was thinking of picking this up- so glad I waited! Definitely on my 'avoid' list now.

I have my yellow pikachu XL and a Zelda 3DS, so I'm content with my lot. Those XY 3DSs look pretty, but no way am I buying another 3DS unless my pikachu breaks.

I wish we could vote for multiple games, 'cause I'll be DLing Harvest Moon & the Starship Damrey as soon as the e-Shop updates!!

YES YES YES!!!! Can't wait for tomorrow! does happy dance

Hmm, looks cute. This will be on my radar.

I kinda almost wish I had a WiiU with which to play Chasing Aurora. None of the e-shop offerings are all that tantalizing. More Circle shovelware, a frantic, unfair puzzle game, or a sickeningly dizzying racing game.

Yeeeeaaaah, nothing for me. Still holding out hope for Harvest Moon GBC to come soon.

Hmmm, wanted this at first, but no more. I have enough stress without more being shoveled onto me by my free time entertainment.

So much hate in these comments...

@Damo- I agree with you, dude. I also like the kickstarter coverage because it introduces me to small game projects- some of which I'm interested in. I now own a limited edition Diamond Trust of London thanks to Nintendo Life, A jewel I'd never have found on my own.

THAT TAGLINE <3

I just bought platinum a few weeks ago, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm really looking forward to this one. I liked Crimson Shroud pretty well (except for the WTF ending) so I'm eager to see more Guild projects. They all seem so artistically done and with much love put into them.

@zipmon Thanks so much for the info! I'll have to give this one a try then. I adored the tricky puzzles in Catrap so this does sound right up my alley.

@zipmon- I liked Rabi Laby but it was too hard for me (sad, I know). O_O I'd say DodoGo was my favourite. I liked Zoonies and Catrap an awful lot too. I don't know if Castle of Magic or Shantae: RR count as puzzle-platformers or just plain platformers, but I loved those as well. Minis March Again and Mighty Switch Force were awfully fun, but much too hard for me a little over halfway in.

I like puzzle platformers, but didn't really enjoy Flipper or Ace Mathcian. I wonder whether I would like this one, then?

I've already upgraded my SD card about 4 times. I now have a 32GB for my 3DS. Frankly, I'd rather go buy a bigger SD card if I need it than buy memory on the system that I might never use.

@grumblegrumble- It's similar to XL, but features some new puzzles that I found to be a bit more challenging than what was in XL. Definitely a cerebral workout at times and I'm quite pleased with it. I'm no reviewer, but that's my 2¢.

That's it, instead of always playing as Pikachu, I am now switching to Luigi. It will be even more humiliating to the men to be beaten by a girl doing nothing as when I beat them as a yellow puffball.

No Harvest Moon GBC??? Awwww... Nothing for me then.

YES! I can't wait! Fell in love with Risky's Revenge and have been pining to play the original ever since.

I guess I'm a modern gamer. I like games that I can finish without screaming at them. To me video games are for de-stressing, not to be frustrating.

What they should do is have optional tutorials/ hand-holding. Something that you select at the beginning of the game or something.

It looks like it might be an endless runner.

BTW I'm betting that the BearShark announcement is that it's becoming a video game in the 3DS E-shop, which I saw when I did a search on '3D.' A Dinosaur Office game I might play, but I don't care for BearShark.

Will be getting the 3DS version of Puzzler World 2013. Thinking about Acorns, but I'm not so sure about that one. I was so hoping for HM GBC, but we just get a DL of TT, which I already have the carts for for both DS & 3DS.

It looks cute but kind of frantic. When I saw the title I guess I expected an actual fishing game instead of an arcade style game. Still kind of interested, though. I hope it comes to NA.

I really liked the DSiWare Cut the Rope, but I'm not sure I want more.

@Nintendawg- As far as I can see, your tone is not very courteous.

@Nintendawg- Everyone makes typos dude. It's rather insignificant compared to the overall good quality of the review. Loosen up a little.

Will be picking up Castlevania, most likely, along with the Colours! update. Pretty good week. Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove has me interested, but I'm not sure I want it.

Aw, and I really wanted to play this, but I can't afford a WiiU or a smartphone. 3DS is the only current gaming platform I have.

Loved the HM series since I started with Mineral Town. A New Beginning is my most-played game on my 3DS at over 300hrs so I'm really looking forward to tasting some of the earlier entries.
