This advert does not make me want to play Mario.

I wouldn't be suprised if it's 2013 for us too then (UK). Boooooo! (although they're still so many games coming out that I want, not to mention a Wii U!)

Someone pretty by the looks of it. Even WITH a moustache ^_^

Oh dear. I've always preferred physical copies of games and this makes it a no brainer.

Thank you for the in depth reply. I think I'll pick this up now I know I can use normal controls and pursue additional side quests! Ta

Hi James. Can you please let me know what the control system is like? My favourite handheld version was Friends of Mineral Town on GBA, but I found the Ds Touch screen only version unplayable. Also not half as significantly as important but can you go fishng or complete any other Animal Crossing comparable tasks? Many Thanks

They should release it for the Wii U. It's ideal. Touch screen and option to play it on 40" TV or on the Gamepad.

It's a waste of time unless you live in a city (sorry). I did take it to Gamesfest last year though and got 100 "hits" lol. We took detours through the Nintendo booth lol.

Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart DD, Paper Mario and Zelda Wind Waker please. The latter 2 cost about £30 each on ebay :s

20% is pretty poor, Should be around 50%. Still this is their first sale so thats a step in the right direction to stimulate sales.

I'm glad you've commented on it looking compressed cus that was my opinion from the demo it looks like your playing the console game squeezed onto a 3ds screen (and consqeuently the view is too zoomed out). Having played it in beautiful 40" HD (and throughly loving it) the 3ds version is a real let down.

@Radixxs your spot on I probably wouldn't be half as interested if they had announced this as a Wario game.

@luminalace I don't mind if they are, I just wish the new Pokemon games would do the same just to remove the borders and to own a 3ds version rather than ds.
