Add voice acting and cut out the padding (fetch quests, slow over-world travel). Had to force myself through about the last 10 hours of the game.
This "episodic" (maybe the wrong word- think more like OoT/MM and SMG1/2 in terms of using the existing engines to make new games/stories) could work well if the games were more refined.
It would be ideally suited to some the 2D Zelda's, IMO.
Now, for me the visuals aren't working (sound is fine). Do I need to change the cables, or can I just change some settings on the Wii/TV? Not sure if I know where my original cables are.
Yeah, my parter wanted to get MP9, and her and I have enjoyed it, despite the changes made. It's quite fast-paced this time around, which is very refreshing.
I do agree that the mini games are quite good, but the luck on the boards get a bit frustrating sometimes.
It's a start. At least my menu looks a lot tidier now.
I just wish when you moved a tile that it didn't replace the one you dropped on, and just added it between the two tiles (like when you move around tiles on an iPhone), if you get what I mean.
I never get too excited for these 2D Mario games, but I always eventually pick it up and enjoy it. The P-Bar will be a welcome return. Hopefully they also have secret exits ala-SMW (with a good overworld also).
Mystical Ninja and StarTropics for me. But it's always interesting to see what they do with a series that has been dormant for a while. Do they try and keep it like the originals, or try and innovate?
EDIT: Also what @NintyFan said. A WiiWare Ice Climbers would be a good fit. Also, another Adventure of Lolo would be great.
Don't see the point in having one? I would have thought the point is pretty clear...
Anyway, I'll download this and give it a look: anyway thing that can my times better is good for me. Saying that, I've got a lot of improvement to go before I can become anything near competitive.

Already got RO on PS3, but I'm interested to see what it looks like in 3D. Haven't played KDL2 for years, so might give that a go too.
Good week again.

VVVVVV got a run from me this weekend. So much fun. Finally got the Veni Vidi Victi trinket after about 100 deaths. Worth it.

Went to download VVVVVV, not in the Aus eShop.
Came on here to see what the go is, see talk about changing region settings. Credit Card didn't work last time, but works this time.
Ended up with VVVVVV and Shantae.

Monster World IV! I so can't wait for that to come out over here.
Price seems really good too, compared to the "work" they put into other import titles.

Peggle is fun for short bursts, but I wouldn't put it in front of 3D Land. Haven't played LBP2, so can't really comment on that one.

Fuzzy commented on Sami Cetin Sets New Super Mario Kart World Record:
Seeing as the sign says it's a Mario Kart 7 tournament, my guess would be that it was in Mario Kart 7.
Also, imagine getting a world record, only for it to be beaten 5 days later. You'd be spewing.

Looking forward to the iPhone version too. But in the meantime, this redesign is a lot more iPhone-friendly.
