I'll have one tab streaming the presentation via the Official site, and another pegged on NintendoLife to enhance my experience. Can't wait.

Off to E3 we go~
Over the hills of snow~
Petey will shut his little trap~
And shove his words up his ***~

It's a shame it was cancelled, but it would have underachieved at this point in he Wii's lifetime. It's also a shame the interview reads like it was written by Google Translate, but that's not really their fault.

If this is true, I will buy a Wii U.

When a review is better than the game itself, something is probably wrong.

Not when the review's written by CB.

This entire debate is just sickeningly stale, to be honest.

The system lock is to prevent just sharing around games like you would a CD. If it is account-based, you could just give your account to a friend and he could play it on his system. I'm sure there are limitations to prevent that, but then everyone will just b***ch about that.

Having said that, cheaper prices and retail download codes sound good to me, but leaving the game shop without a box will take some getting used to.

This has been a rumor for quite a while now. It is meaningless.

How bout these investors shut up and bathe in their money.

I'd say it's a good problem to have. Other consoles don't have such strong first-party support, if at all. These games usually deserve their sales, because they are of such high quality.

Poor bastards.

The tease of the wireless features has me squirming in my seat. I've dreamed of such features since Wild World. E3 is going to be insane.

Thank God.

Pleeeeeaaaase NightSky, please. At the very least the mentioning of he game is encouraging.

I think it will be a perfect fit on the Wii U.

@James I really hope it comes out then. That would be the perfect game for summer.

Please release NightSky first. I've been anxiously awaiting its release on a Nintendo console since 2009. I may be only one of the 5 people who want the game on 3DS, but they can't confirm it's being released on the eShop and then cancel it AGAIN.

...Can they?

I thought his design process was:

1. Provide player with Tanooki Leaf.
2. Make sure they clear the level without dying in 2 minutes.
3. Repeat.

Imagine a family member tapping away on their iPhone, only to have their activity ended prematurely by your Wii U tablet. You will be the antagonist of the party in no time!

Yes. Yes? Yes!

Ew.

I know 2 characters. 2.

Hating Capcom is the new "cool" thing. I say we all switch over to Sega. Damn you Sega! You make games differently than I want you to! Sonic Generations only had 2 Sonics! Etcetera.

Rampant speculation! My favorite!

And through it all, I have discovered that I don't like Mario games. What!? How could any Nintendo fan dislike Mario games? Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. I don't dislike Mario games, it's just that they aren't much fun anymore. I bought Super Mario Galaxy. I bought both New Super Mario Bros. games. I bought Super Mario Galaxy 2. I bought Super Mario 3D Land. I bought 5 new Mario games. I only played 2.

I enjoyed the first few games, but by the time I gt SM3DL, I was done. The level design was nothing short of brilliant, but the challenge was non-existent. Yes, I played using the Tanooki Suit, and I didn't finish the second set of worlds. But after playing the same game so many times, I have no desire to play this one or any of the other games anymore.

The next time a Mario game comes out, unless it is significantly different, I will simply play one of my 5 games if I want a Mario fix. I can't keep buying the same game just because of the name.

Gorgeous? Or Henry Hatsworth re-skin? Either way, more 2D platformers better be on the upside.. por favor.

well, the air is thinner up on Mt Whitney

So they are just showing games already released and Mario Tennis? Oh boy.

This looks so c0ol im gonna buy one fer me an all my friends

Yessssssssss.

But, guys, these are all the weapons in the game! See, the others you have are all just in-game glitches.

But really, I guess the word "Bible" had me expecting all of the weapons or something.

Super Mario 3D Land is my least favorite 3DS game so far. Out of 5 games. 4 of which are retail.

I have this idea I've been sitting on for about 3 years. I even have a basic outline of the story and gameplay. This sounds like a great competition, but I'd like to keep the option open to make my game myself if I choose down that career path.

Yet another reason to move to Japan.

This game will sell 5 copies.

I don't care about home console colors.

@HeroOfWaffles Same.

@mushroomer That review is, at best, inaccurate. It hardly touches on many key points of the game, and reads as if the reviewer played the game for an hour or two and scrapped it because he didn't like the controls. Compared NLife's review, it is a terrible excuse for journalism and I give it no credibility.

I'm not used to avoiding specific power-ups at all, so I guess I'll have to change that and stick to normal Mario.

@warioswoods Yes, I used the Tanooki power-up as frequently as it was presented to me in-game, which was nearly every 10 steps. I suppose I should try without it, I really would like a challenge.

@sinalefa If there is no difficulty, it ruins the sense of fun for some gamers. Mindlessly running through levels is not very satisfying for me.

The first run through of SM3DL is beyond easy, and after beating Bowser I have no incentive to get past the first 4 worlds of the "more difficult" run through that I completed in only 3 hours.

The level design of the game is absolutely brilliant, but I could hardly enjoy it when I beat nearly every level in one quick playthrough. Even most of the Star Coins were easy to pick up on the first run through each level.

And I was worried it wouldn't be long and boring.

I've never used it. Whatever.

My Japanese 3DS is now shipping.

And I suggest the Wii U will be successful.

Meh, this made me want the game less.

I almost went to Italy today. But I didn't and I won't.

I don't know much about the overall Japanese game industry, but I almost exclusively play Japanese games. I always notice a great quality. Don't know what games this dude is playing.
