The actual scenario was described in one of the Pokemon films: they are essentially digitized and put into a giant world with all the other Pokemon. So, yes, somewhere out there there is a lava pool where a couple hundred Groudons are kind of just chilling out, maybe playing chess.

@Midnight3DS 8.

@ouroborous Just check out the website they linked, it explains it all.

To those people who are asking why this is 34.99 physical instead of 39.99: Nintendo wants people to not have to pull out change to pay that tax. Just slap two 20 dollar bills down and BAM, Animal Crossing. (Or something.)

@Tech101 Your wife AND or girlfriend? Man, I don't think we should be encouraging domestic affairs here...

I don't have $100 dollars to get both versions of the game, and I want my game to be portable, so this is the perfect solution.

Watch as this is Retro's secret project, and everyone rages.

This is this guy's fault. Any person with half a brain would read the instruction manual. It explicitly says that you shouldn't return it.

I would adore a 3D remake of ALTTP with the OoT3D engine. No 2D game would be better suited for that, except perhaps Four Swords Adventures.

Might purchase again if I must. My brother loves it, but I am too young for this type of thing. Maybe my brother could buy it for me, since my mom trusts him like that. Ah, the wonders of being 13.

@Pikminsi Keep in mind it is only that cheap because it is a pre-order. So order tonight or forever hold your peace.

Actually, I encourage this for Capcom. Monster Hunter Tri is still one of the best single-player games that I have ever played, so you can't complain THAT much. I mean, you people had 3 years to play it. I don't know about you people, but I want Monster Hunter 4 to come stateside. What better way to do that then to have lots of sales for MH3U? People seem to have a misunderstanding in which they thing Ultimate is just an upscaled port. If that is the common thought, then why would people buy it?

Dang it! I have always been a huge fan of RGC, even going to the point of claiming it is the best DS game ever made. It is fun in its most distilled form for gamers who enjoy the retro experience. It is a shame that it sold so poorly. I mean, all that licensing stuff was completed with the first game, so why couldn't they just release the second one? The fan translation at rgc2.moonfruit.com looked like a fantastic thing; shame that it is (as far as we know) dead in the water. Anybody else here who clicked on here just to see the RGC content?

@kyuubikid213 Hey! Another Egoraptor fan! Woohoo!

My only experiences with Nintendo Customer Service were these: a broken L and R button on my 3DS and a lost-in-the-mail-system Giant AR Card. Both times the company was nice, simple, and helped me through my problem, fixing my 3DS for free AND shipping me another AR card for free. Nice! Apple, on the other hand, helped none when it came to iTunes saying that I had never used this computer before, and was asking questions I couldn't answer. (To be fair, they did give me back a faded 50 dollar iTunes gift card that my mom had lost, so their service is okay.)

The first time I heard about this, I thought:
"Seriously, Ubisoft, ALREADY copying Nintendo Land?":

@FrozenCthulhu ...yet. It will come, eventually. Monster Hunter 4 HD Vers.

@SkywardLink98 In Japan, you can more or less be anywhere and assemble a hunting party, so they don't see the point of online on the 3DS version. You cannot carry your Wii U around (usually), however, so that is that.
On a side note, can someone answer if that apparently amazing keyboard from Pokemon Typing Adventures or something is compatible?

I have been waiting for this review since ever. So glad it finally came!

They do realize this video came out in September, right?

This game looks so legit.

@Aviator
You can't really say these aren't the real names, as there were never official English translations of their names to begin with. Jinouga is Zinogre, and that is that.

...
Does nobody like Metal Gear Solid 3 anymore? Just a thought.

Hopefully they are able to release at least Mother 3 onto the 3DS eShop. That would be so hype. Also, the other games would be great as well, but I consider myself saturated in official translations by this point.
I don't want Mother 4, though, because then they would have to send a C&D to the people who are making the Mother 4 fan game (mother4.andonuts.net), and that would be a sad day.

Mega Man Battle Network was an amazing experience if you owned all of them with the right mindset. The first game was great, and the others just expanded it. If you stop thinking of it as having 6 (7?) almost identical sequels, and start thinking of it as one huge very good game, then it is great. My only problem was the ridiculously high encounter rate.

@Gorlokk Imagine if Miyamoto came out and said he was logged more time on Angry Birds than on Nintendo products. INB4 rage.

@Geonjaha Yes.

I still find it ridiculous that when you leave a planet it blows up and then when you come back it is whole again. How is that even s'posed to work?

I am just waiting for the Nintendo 3DS's Friend Code's to be replaced by Nintendo IDs. I have been waiting for that day to truly dive into the 3DS internet experience.

I am beginning my wait outside Wal*Mart 10PM tonight, as I was never able to get a preorder anywhere. But let it not be said that I am not of conviction! 2 hour wait in the freezing cold, here I come!

Wait.
What.
I still don't have home internet due to the placement of my home in an oak forest in a rural town.
...

Wait...
did they ever say that there won't be Friend Codes?
Seriously, Nintendo, nobody likes them.
Nobody.

Looking at the video
Man, Retro Game Challenge was the best DS game of all time.
Thinks about it some more
I wonder how the translation project for the sequel is going.
Looks at page, no updates in 9 months
Oh my God, is it canceled?
Realizes there is no hope for a translation ever
sobs

Something worth mentioning is that if you move any of the trailers or the screenshots to your 3DS (downloading the videos off of YouTube with KeepVid), the game looks much better. I don't know why, but it does. Capcom, can you release 3D screenshots viewable on the 3DS? I really want to see what the way I play will be like...

I really, REALLY hope that they allow for multiple players in this game. I don't know how that would work if only one player could be the mayor (as it would work logically), though. The Animal Crossing series is the only game I have gotten my mom to ever play, and she absolutely adores every single game. Fingers crossed for the continuation of the tradition.

Living in a world without a Nintendo magazine? I don't know if Nintendo Life covered it, but the website now has a paid physical magazine, designed to carry the Nintendo magazine torch. Subscriptions are available now for this once-every-2-months magazine. $10 for digital, $20 for physical.

For some reason, the art style reminds me of the claymation movie Mary & Max.

I was really hoping that Nintendo would pick up where Nyko left off, releasing the Circle Pad Pro Pro or something weird like that. Or, you know, releasing a 3DS with 2 analog sticks and an anti-glare screen. I would pay a ton of money for something that useful. Who knows, maybe they could, cough, release a good looking, good feeling CPP. I just want one that looks good enough to use in public without being an embarassment. Kingdom Hearts 3D is just calling for it. (As well as Metal Gear Solid 3, but I kind of stopped playing that after I got through it 3 times in a row.) Dang you, final boss of KH3D, stopping me from finishing it!

@Mahe It does. It really, really does, have an excuse. You want know why? Because for the first friggin' 4 months, all of the non-gamer masses thought it was just a DS that comes with 3D glasses and hurt's their kid's eyes, and is about $150 more expensive than the DS Lite.

Logic, right? Pokemon Snap: $40 on a home console with about 65 Pokemon.
Pokemon Dream Radar: $2.99 on a handheld with about 22 Pokemon.
PDR is 13 times cheaper than PS, yet it contains only 1/3 the Pokemon. And it was a minor release. Comparing the two of them is like comparing apple pie to an apple, one is cheaper and you get to use it all by yourself, but there is less food, but the other one you have to share and is more expensive, but there is more food/nutrients. Or something. (Disregard that analogy, please.)

I wonder if this game will support the keyboard that came with Pokemon: Typing Adventure. If it does, then I might just buy that game for the keyboard alone. (Pokemon: Typing Adventures, I mean.)

@AyeHaley To be fair, there was a tropical island in the GameCube version. However, it was only accessible by plugging your GBA into your CameCube and visiting the docks at the beach. If you did get there, there was an absurdly simple way to earn maybe 30,000 Bells a hour. That is just ridiculous.

@Marakuto I know that feel, bro. Same thing here. Only thing is, she constantly pestered me about random Mega Man trivia. Which got really... uncomfortable. If you know what I mean.

@bezerker99 You could always buy one of those NES USB controllers. They're really really cheap.

@Neram Unless it is Sonic Unleashed. Getting mad and frustrated enough in those werehog sections to stop playing would be for the betterment of mankind.

@Travis1984 Actually, I am pretty sure you can climb under the gyro-bridge and grab a fatal gun in the demo. At least you can in the full version at that point.

@Viceroy_Khaoz Well, I guess someone had to make the joke, I guess. Way to go, woohoo.

Really, REALLY tempted to put Portal 2. But for the betterment of mankind, I will choose Skyward Sword.

This is an amazing deal, anypony might think of getting it.
