Great week! Getting the demo and Kirby's block ball!

Wow! Complete with moisture wicking properties. The grooves channels thumb sweat away from the control stick via "sweat channels". The sweat the. Pools and collects in a built in resiovoir to be empied at appropriate times.

Nice! I've hardly played Maka Wuhu because of it. We can enjoy the scenery now!

Good times... (takes drag of cigarette).

Pit got screwed! Damn you multi platform titles! Damn you!!!

I was going to send my kid's out of warranty DSI to Nintendo to get it fixed, but after shipping they wanted 90 bucks! Apparently it's really not worth it now!

Interesting... It's definitely an example of thinking outside the box.

It would have been awesome if Zen released this game as a paid DLC option for those who bought their earlier awesome version. They could have even released a seperate stand alone version for those who hadn't purchased the original, and offer the original as paid DLC. I know that there may be some confusion and worries about someone purchasing the DLC and then buying the same game in stand alone form. You get around this by putting the game into "already downloaded status for all who have purchased any form. Code it so if a redownload is attempted, it just downloads the previously purchased form.
...ok that was more rambling and wordy than I intended, I'm tired.

Anyone who has a review score out already is a hack and a liar. No one has officially reviewed it for a site yet. You can start believing them when there's a week left until the game drops in stores.

@ayer99

I know! There may not be a game that interests some this week, but it is really fantastic that the Eshop has some wind under its sails. They have churned out quite a bit of diverse games in the 3D arena. Keep em coming. Sure, more VC would be highly appreciated, but it will happen. We just got 3 game gear games. Nintendo is pacing itself. No 3Dware that week, I bet money you'll get a VC title. There's a lot there right now however to play through. I just beat avenging spirit. It was a rather cool little game. Now I'm working my way through bionic commando and metroid.

Ticketmaster... You suck. Twenty bucks extra per ticket? Really? That's friggin barbarism!!!

Minneapolis September 22! Heck yea! I'm there!!!

HD star fox with a hint of 80's sci fi flare. Nice. Some parts reminded me a bit of the Last Starfighter.

Awesome! That's great to hear. Any news on play coin usage? I've got plenty of play coins to burn. .
I saw that amazon France has put a release date at September 28, but that's to be taken with a grain of salt. If its true through, Ill take credit for it.

If they are going to start doing this then I hope there are a couple of changes to the eshop.
1. Let us know in the game description page how big the files are.
2. We need to have everything backed up by a user name. If my 3DS breaks, I don't want to run the risk of losing my games!

GamereviewerX just picked up his check from UFO games...

I got it on eBay two years ago for five bucks. One of the best five gaming bucks I ever spent. My wife and kids helped solve the puzzles with me. I loved it. It wasn't perfect, but I'd highly reccomend it to anyone. I hope a sequal pops up. I'd gladly pay full price for it!

I got pyramids when it first came out. It's definitely challenging. It's a quest/puzzle hybrid. I like it. It's time limit to obtain all stars on a round can be maddening. The clock is relentlessly unforgiving. The design is great. At 3.99, it's priced very well.

I fourth the notion of the sport clips barber shop. I immediately thought, "how helpful is that when your hands are covered by the barber's tarp?"

O...M...G... Think of all the streetpasses!!!! Ahhhh! Im freaking out!!!!
Lmfao

@Portista
Yes, it is that good! I've played many painting programs/apps. This is definitely one of the best! You can create on upto five layers of depth, making your creations really pop! The shading tool really helps to add realism. You can magnify the picture size to get very precise, minute detail. After you are happy with your pic, you can upload it to your public collection. People can then rate them. There are an incredible amount of fantastic paintings people have done. When I first picked it up, I thought that they must have been professionally done, but with all of the tools at your disposal, you can create awesome stuff with patience. Also, you can join a friend on a co op paint mode. If you like doodling, you'll love this! It's just a shame I can't print them off in 3D... PS, hey Colors 3D people, I think that qualifies as an ad!

This game is a good way for Nintendo to test the waters on paid DLC.

@shake_zula
Agreed. I think with if it blew away the other systems, it would be hard to resist at least hinting at that.

This quote from Nintendo seems to be their way of lowering expectations. The system may be incredible. If however, hype exists that its graphical processors crush the competition and the system ends up just barely beating them out, it may be viewed as a failure by investors and gamers.

@James
Lol. Animal crossing calendar... My son had some leftover points and got that. He was so angry to find that it was just a calendar. I tried to warn him... Ah good times.

Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

I imagine a whole Japanese kids choir wearing these and singing a Zelda tribute song. Lol

It would be nice if I could just download tetris axis. I'd like to have a new tetris game, but it would be really convienient to just always have it and not need to swap cartridges. It's a good "on the fly" game.

That just wouldn't makes sense! Why would that be the case when Nintendo knows the other companies will release even more powerful consoles? It makes the 3DS launch look like a blip on the radar!

See. It just goes to show that if Nintendo were to buckle to the wishes of the talking heads and stop making consoles, they may end up like this former giant.

Come on guys! You mean to tell me that you wouldn't love to get a free Mario game, but have to pay real money for every fire flower?! What!??!?! Lol. Yea, that would be rediculous. Could you imagine some clueless parent leaving their credit info on the system and find an 800 dollar charge for Mario power ups?

What?!!! No lawn mower kids 2?!!! Blasphemers! Lol

Maybe I'll wait for the reviews. I love great old school games that I didn't have a chance to play (I had gameboy, never game gear). Great old games are so much fun for me to play, but crappy old games are really annoying

That's pretty good I guess, but I was hoping for at least an 11...

I just checked eBay and it's selling for 59.99 and 150 bucks! Crazy

I miss challenging games like this. When I first played it in the second grade, it was relentlessly unforgiving. Getting a 1up meant something. While I love super Mario 3D land, I currently have 189 lives. A game like this pushed you to continually get better at gaming. If you died (and didnt properly execute the "a + start" method) you stayed dead and had to repeat the whole thing. 189 lives doesn't seem right.

Does anyone know how big the crush demo is? My memory card is getting very full.

Love these special editions. It's nice to see special care given to such lauded games!

Can't wait to get a streetpass of Reggie in sparkly golden pants! Sadly, that's his normal weekend attire...

It uses a stylus? I guess I just assumed that it would be more dependant on touch with fingers than a stylus. Oh well

Pokemon vs Tekken! You heard it here first!

That would really piss me off if I had ordered a limited edition version and was now unable to find one due to Game's crap. Sorry to my UK friends that were effected by this!

Yea, I'm not digging the game gear border. Whatever though, we'll give em a whirl.

Apparently Dr. Kawashima has been drinking blood out of human skulls again...

Tons of news lately! I'm stoked! Who's stoked? I'm stoked!

That seaman guy was rather creepy

Its odd though. Is Sony really doing much to market the Vita? I have seen little about it in stores, and I've witnessed absolutely nothing on TV about it. Perhaps the ads and I are merely passing like ships in the night, but I would have expected much more advertising presence.

What? Now Wario land? Hopefully this is an incomplete list!!!

@James -

That's redidiculous! I can't believe the junk that is printed these days! Everyone knows that the sensor bar uses magic to let us play our games.

Prepare for racing on Mario kart as Ronald McDonald!
