I've been wanting this for a while! I've been meaning to read several books, but don't want to shell out on an E-reader and carrying actual books and magazines is a chore.

Gonna digital buy it, I always lose cartridges because I'm clumsy. Also in an unrelated point I wonder if Wario Blast featuring Bomberman will ever make it to the 3DS virtual console. It was basic but fun. Also Wario and Bomberman in the same game!

Wait so some boxed games are increasing? Well I guess it's not all bad then

@LordOtaku
Lol 5th place in Japan? That's extremely conservative and it'd be a huge bomb if it only made 5th. It will be No. 2 unless Dragon's Dogma underperforms in which case it'll be No. 1.

Here's a question: Will you be re-reviewing Mighty Switch Force with the new levels? Or will you review the extra levels seperately? Or just no review at all? The game will have fundamentally changed with 5 extra levels so I think maybe a slightly revised review is warranted?

@Chrono_Cross GBA launched with Super Mario Advance, otherwise you're correct. It doesn't help though that at launch all bar one of those consoles didn't do so hot. And Wii had Wii sports and Zelda in it's place.

Why are people getting mad? From what I gather they seem to be mad because this will be an insult to Zelda fans? But it's just a lego set, it's not like this is being made into a Lego Zelda game or anything.

Another nothing week for me. It just bugs me, to me it looks like Nintendo is just letting the Eshop slip into a similar rut that the Wii Shop is going into. We should not be getting 1 thing a week.
Here's a question, why isn't the Wii Virtual console list available on the 3DS? I can understand holding back some NES/SNES games in order to make them 3D classics but really, the lack of titles is disturbing. I question why we can't have games from more consoles, Game Gear was a step in the right direction, but what about the Neo Geo Pocket and the Virtual Boy? I can't even buy DSiware these days because the system memory is full.

I see a lot of people disliking Skyward Sword here which honestly suprises me. I found it to be the best game I'd played in atleast 8 years and it really re-ignited my passion for quality games. Since I finished it though I haven't picked it up again. Story based games like that are one time experiences and turn in to fond memories.
Anyway, there'd been a similar article a while back on Zelda Universe and it was discussing how Zelda simply changed too much to be accepted by the masses. Each new Zelda reveal would be different enough for the last that it would lose more fans than it would gain and as a result Zelda sales as a whole have declined.

Mario Party with Online play. Please. I'd actually pick up a new Mario Party if this happened.

"generic screen scratches" are a myth. You occasionally get waxy lines but it will not scratch the top screen.

I know it's not announced for this patch but I really hope there's a casual "Btw, you can now play DSiWare off your SD card" slipped in with this patch.

Your comments make it sound like a sequel but I interpreted it as a remake in a similar vein to Metroid: Zero Mission (but perhaps even more developed).

I have some sort of feeling that a WiiU re-release later this year might be responsible. Perhaps with new features? Though I could be very wrong.

Holy damn, Shinobi is so much fun, I've been playing it most of the last hour so this isn't a full review or anything but I'm throughly enjoying it. As for Sonic, I'll be honest I've tried to force myself to like the old 2D sonics and I just can't, this is no exception, I'll get back to it but it's boring me for now.

@SkywardLink98
Uhhh, this wasn't a launch title.

Nintendo! Why won't you bring me Punch out!!? And Wario Land. Come on now. I'll download the Crush3D Demo but only because I have about 20GB of space to fill.
