Its weird hearing lego characters talk. Also, in ONM's preview of the 3DS version, it said that it wouldn't be open world like most of the other versions.

@metafaniel Patricia is a girl.

@James I'll be keeping up with the E3 news on NL too.

I'll definitely get Art of balance touch at some point and I still need to get MSF. Its good that Wayforward are offering new levels for free unlike some devs.

I'll be playing two RPGs. One's an action-rpg that I've almost finished and the other is a turn based rpg that I've just started. Respectively, they are The last story and Final fantasy IV DS. I hope I can beat the the final boss in TLS, the final phase of that fight is so hard.

Kirby looks so funny when he goes inside that fish.

@zachts98 Love that video and Rhythm thief has some awesome songs, my favourite is Detective Claude appears. Claude is Charlie's name in the Japanese version.

Good review, I think I'll get Mario power tennis for GC to play on my Wii instead as I don't have that and it sounds like I'd prefer that to this.

On second thought, it looks like it might be similar to the Phantasy star online/portable games so maybe its not for me then.

I don't care for the lost planet series but this looks awesome! I hope it gets a western release.

What an ugly new art style!

Not that I'd want this but £11.60 is a massive rip-off! Even at half that price, it would be a rip-off as all you can do is look at Pokemon and their stats.

Awesome, now there won't be anymore cheaters online.

This looks fun but I doubt it will get a European release as the first one didn't.

Slowdown? In a game with only one character on screen? That's terrible and it sounds like that's not its only problem.

I still need to get the first Kirby's dream land game but I'll get the second sometime after I've played the first and I might get Bird mania.

@Nick-Clegg Age ratings can change for games before they release and I wouldn't be at all surprised if that happened for this as it looks more like a 15 or 16 than an 18 to me.

@grimbldoo Nintendo had nothing to do with this game.
@Mercury9 They're costumes, not the actual characters.

Fantastic article and I agree with it. It would certainly be refreshing with how similar the aesthetics are of NSMB, NSMNW and the upcoming NSMB2 and I love the idea of an SMB2 style co-op game where each of the characters have their own differences. It would certainly be better than having Miis in a main series Mario game and it would be better than the way NSMBW handled the co-op too which was still loads of fun. It would also be interesting to what Nintendo could do if they made a 3D Mario platformer that took place in Subcon. I wonder if that would work well.

@retro_player_22 Why the hell did you list Mega man and Mega man X? Those aren't tie-ins, the Mega man games came before anything else.

@PikminMonster

The impression I'm getting from these comments is that some people seem to think that the GBA is less powerful than the SNES when its the other way around. The SNES has better quality sound than the GBA but overall the GBA is the more powerful system.

@Mickeymac I don't even need a demo after watching the awesome trailer in that first link, I'm definitely getting this. Thanks for showing me that.

@Mickeymac Of course, platformers are one of my two favourite genres but its just that the aesthetics look kind of boring and bland so I wanted a demo to make sure that the gameplay was good enough to make up for that.

@Pikminmonster Why? Just because you don't like a series, doesn't mean there shouldn't be more entries in it as others enjoy the series. I don't like Monster hunter for example but I don't act as though there shouldn't be any more entries in the series and if you're not interested why bother posting on this article at all?

I don't say this often but I think I'll need a demo before deciding whether to get VVVVVV or not. Normally I can tell if a game is for me or not but that's not the case this time.

@BenAV Maybe the meowing isn't as annoying as it seems then.
@Gamecube Ah, okay thanks for clearing that up. It still seems pretty fun so I'll probably get it at some point.

This looks similar to Pokemon link which I still enjoyed after I stopped liking Pokemon and the constant meowing could get annoying but it is cheap so I might get it.

This actually looks pretty good, it reminds me of Pokemon link and I still enjoyed that game even after I stopped liking Pokemon so I might like this. Although the constant meowing could get annoying. I'll wait for the review.

I don't think the Gamecube is as good as the Wii but its still a great console and there are still many games I still need to get for it. Some of my favourites are Super smash bros. melee, Mario kart: Double dash, Sonic heroes and of course, the masterpiece that is Tales of Symphonia!!! I love that game so much, its tied with Tales of the Abyss as my favourite games ever.

Its great that the 5th June is bank holiday this year. That means I get a day off college for all the e3 news.

@mamp The latter.

@steveex There was no mention of The last story or Mario party 9 in the article either.

At least he's stating that its his opinion but there are many better looking Wii games like:
Super Mario galaxy and its sequel
Wario land: The shake dimension
Sonic colours
Metroid prime trilogy
Metroid: Other M
Xenoblade chronicles
The last story
No more heroes 2: Desperate struggle
Kirby's epic yarn
Kirby's return to dreamland etc.

I'll play as the actual characters themselves rather than a Mii in a suit of the characters if I get this game.

@L4DYKOM1C I remember reading somewhere that the eshop doesn't have a royalty limit like Wiiware does. I think it was on Gonintendo. Also, it clearly had a much bigger size limit seeing as there are already games with over 200 MB and the eshop advertises its releases so its clearly better than Wiiware.

I'm one of the few that doesn't care about this game but I'm surprised Nicalis said that Wiiware stopped being profitable in 2009 (I think they said something like that) as 2010 was a great year for the service as there were many great games released for it that year including their own Cave story and that sold well.

The music is awful and it looks very average.

I don't care for the Starfox series but the Mother series ones reminded me of how much I would love to play those games. It would be awesome of all three of them were remade for Wii U or 3DS and released in the west.

I might get this, it looks okay.
@Gavin_Rozee The probably want to space things out so that they don't run out of games too quickly. Having said that, I still think they should release 3DS VC games more often. There was only one 3DS VC game out last month!

I'm fine with my Aqua blue 3DS and I don't like Purple much but that actually looks really nice!

The text-adventure aspects of the game put me off it so I won't be getting this.

The text-adventure aspects of the game put me off it so I won't be getting this.

I'll get G&WG2 at some point, that looks like a pretty good game.

Awesome video and I'm glad Wario land 4 was near the end, I thought the video was going to end without any of the Wario platformers in it.

This isn't 800 points ion Europe, its actually 500.

@19Robb92 Really? I think Rayman's current design is fine and nowhere near being as bad as Spyro's hideous new design.
Anyway, this game looks beautiful and the gameplay looks great too but I don't like the NFC idea, it could become another rip-off like Skylanders but getting to beat up Rabbids looks like fun.

I don't care about retail downloads but its good to know that it will have a digital download store at launch.

I would hate to see this doing something similar to Skylanders but I like Dodger's idea of a JRPG like mode even if it is very unlikely.
