I was lucky that my local Best Buy wasn't nearly as busy as this one. I arrived 15 minutes early on day one to find only four people signed up before me. It continued to be quiet for the first hour, so I was allowed to sign up for two time slots and tried out 3D World and Tropical Freeze. I was also the first one there to get a medallion, so I had a great time.

To any doubters who actually read this far down the page...
After playing the first two demo levels at best buy, I can assure everyone that it is a high quality game, fun, and a proper 3D Mario title. (It's stupid to call this game not proper.)

Nintendo did great with their Nintendo direct. I know that every first party title shown will be high quality and I plan on picking almost all of them as close to release day as I can. There's nothing wrong with having a great number of surefire hardhitters and there are enough new experiences in each title to set them apart from past games.

I welcome a bizarre character roster.

Gonna try to play at least two of these tomorrow...

Looking amazing. Can't wait.

Since it hasn't been stated that this is the only thing Retro has been working on, I'm going to be grateful that Retro is making a stunning sequel to DKCR. Because a high quality game is always welcome, no matter if it's an old or new IP.

Edit: sorry for not being pessimistic for petty reasons.

Think we can get a new review of Spelunker? The current one on this site is pretty bad. All it really amounts to is "QQ it's too hard!!".

I'm a bit uneasy about the color powers as well. Not what I expected to hear about.

Judging from the xbox conference alone, the One will probably not be a threat. The PS4 shows promise so far. While everything can change at E3, right now I don't think NIntendo has much to worry about.

Not sure if I like the glasses...

EXCELLENT NEWS! I'd prefer to download a phoenix wright game anyway. I go back to older games to replay a fun case every now and then, and this means I won't have to swap out carts.
I dislike all this whining for a physical copy. IMO, refusing to get the game because it's download only while being a fan of the series is just plain stupid.

Many years ago, one of my favorite flash games was basically a copy of this game...
So this is the original...

I value off-screen play over trophies, so I'm getting this on WiiU.

Edit: And after playing the first three levels, I really wish I had gotten into the series sooner.

And nothing of value will be gained.

I'd be ecstatic if they released digital version of the MML games.

I was hoping this could work. I'm glad I now know I can bring it to school to kill some time, once I get one...

Brb, cancelling my Wii U preorder. I've completely lost all interest in the console now. This was the final straw.

I believe they succeeded in making a super fun and enjoyable Paper Mario game. I'm over halfway done the game and even with the constraint on character choice, they've packed a lot of charm into the toads and baddies so far. I'd put this up there with TTYD.

Yeah, the familiarity complaint is silly. So much has changed with the sticker mechanic and the rpg elements changes, that the game feels fairly different from the first two Paper Marios. I'm enjoying the heck out of how much more "papery" the game is and trying to keep a good balance of stickers. I'd give this around an 8.5 at the very least.
If this game is familiar, then the reviewer probably finds Paper Mario 2 to be the exact same game as Paper Mario 1.

@33 I'm pretty sure you can use the characters as you unlock them in the story. Either way, you can still use way more than eight characters in free play and bonus quests.

"Free Play and Bonus Quests allow you to choose between eight different characters"
This is incorrect. You can choose between all +50 characters you have unlocked so far as you would in versus mode.

With these, we know that Sony is clearly in the wrong.
Let this silliness end...

I would've loved to get this day one if it was available day one. My local stores didn't get a shipment. Highlight of the day, ruined.

@Erica_Hartmann And quite a few others.

Well, this awesome looking game snuck up on me. I'll definitely get this day 1.
Edit: And it's by Atlus!? Even better!

This game is genius. Easily deserving of a 10/10.

@Gamesake You make it sound like PaRappa was a bad game.

@C7_ You can't justify your statement with something irrelevant. Fact is, you were in the wrong.

SERVBOTS!
This game became an almost-instabuy.
Also, Brawl rocks, you haters!

After trying the demo, I'm no longer interested in getting the game right away. It doesn't seem to hold a candle to Theatrhythm...
I hope I'm wrong. I'll wait until it drops in price.

Number of players*
That was weird.

1. of players should be updated. It can support up to 4 players with local wireless in Chaos Shrine mode.
   Other than that, it's a high quality music game. I enjoy it far more than EBA.

@Nintendo-Naut You don't speak for the community. Don't say silly things like "no-one is interested in Nintendo Land."

@kyuubikid213 Impossible! That makes way too much sense! Power alone is what defines a console and its generation because it's the only thing that matters!!!

How dare you bring logic into an argument!

Almost as good as Metroid Metal. Neat.

@JimLad You should try reading through the list before making silly comments.

Watch this become the best gaming controller in existence.

@thebluelight1 New features + improved graphics + portability means it's better. Nostalgia is irrelevant. Being a remake is irrelevant. The only way the N64 version could be "better" is how much easier it is to lose track of the 3DS version's cart, if kept out of its case, than an N64 cart.

Oh well, I didn't really want this game anyway. The only game I wish to see on the VC now is Bomberman Hero for the N64. I've had so much fun with that game as a child...

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't enjoy this game. The beginning turned me off and the battle system feels awkward. The enemies are stationary while your character seems to appear in front of them to get attacked. I'll try to play through the game more, but I almost regret buying it.

I'll join you Badknux.
T_T

@Marvel_Maniac
I made it past that part easily. You're probably not jumping to the right platforms or at the right times. Keep trying.

The day has finally arrived. YES!!!!!!

This is probably the best week for the VC so far in Europe. I agree with XCWarrior here. I like the Paper Mario series and its platforming, story, and battle system, but when it comes to Mario RPG's, SMRPG is #1 with PM:TTYD coming in with a close #2. Lucky Europe.

It is still possible that David could hear something from SNK or Nintendo about this matter. We just have to wait. I can't wait to see Hudson's response.

It all depends on how much you like action RPG's. I enjoyed it a lot. And Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia is in it. That makes it much more awesome.

Then you should try Soul Calibur Legends, if you haven't already. It's pretty good.

Congratulations with the interview.
