To me, this is the best of the Dream Land trilogy. I'll buy it when it comes to NA.

Excellent review...a lot better than IGN's. However, I'll be honest and say that even if I do like Mario Tennis, I'm gonna have to pass on Open until it gets a low price tag. The lack of a story mode did somewhat put me off and so did the customization.

(Edited)

I've read on VGchartz that Mario Sports Mix sold about 1.92 million copies. It should be part of the Nintendo Selects titles too since Mario Super Sluggers sold only about 1.60 million copies. Eh...I guess I'll get Sports Mix at the full price

For the least part, DKCR gets a price drop and well worth the price since its my second best favorite Wii game. My first favorite (probably change it) is Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

@Nick-Clegg

Exactly what I'm thinking. YouTube and Nintendo, please shake hands.

Aqua Blue's my favorite launch color, but I'm still waiting to get the Ice White for NA. If they discontinue Aqua Blue in NA too, they better release the Ice White to make up for that.

@3DSLUIGI

Agreed.

I do like Uprising, but I think having a sequel wouldn't be neccessary since I think the gameplay is awesome enough already. The next sequel, I want it back to its roots.

Great news indeed. I enjoyed the original AC the most in the series.

I will cross my fingers for Animal Crossing and (mostly) Paper Mario.

3/10. Thank goodness I didn't buy this.

Yeah, this game got me at 200 items. I do like the RPG mode in Power Tour, but I'm over that.

I am excited for this game. New Super Mario Bros and New Super Mario Bros Wii were great, but they have to dish out something new in this one than just Miis. I'm thinking Replays must return from Super Mario Advance 4 and the inclusion of many other features, like more power ups, more levels, more bosses, and more extras.

Online play, though I'll be honest, is just another story and I really don't think this game needs online play since it is a game that people play in the same room as each other (plus, it's a Mario game, unlike Strikers Charged). If this game does incorporate online play, then that's fine, as long as reviewers do not complain that the game doesn't have online play if it doesn't.

9/10 for me.

I enjoyed the Power Shots and RPG mode in the Mario Tennis series, but I think I can live without them in Open.

I sure wanted a Vita and for these reasons: Ratchet and Clank, Little Big Planet, and Reality Fighters. However, seeing as though Reality Fighters hasn't done as well in IGN's sight, I'm not sure if I want one. So, relax 3DS: You still have a winning chance to dominate.

Great, Andriasang. Now, I want to hear more Paper Mario, even though I want to get Kakusei.

Of the three titles in trilogy, I'll put my hand down and say this title is the best. Dream Land 3 felt empty and rehashed...and shorter...and repetitive...

Very intriguing.

The only thing I'd be getting would be the Game Case. Otherwise, I would've wanted to get Mario Party 2...if I had WiFi connection to my Wii.

Edit: Plus, I hope Club Nintendo will provide a better selection next month. Four from last month was good enough while two is too short. For the least part, I have the Platinum Elite Status.

Any kind of DLC that is better than getting stale popcorn and any game that looks good enough for new content is good enough for me, though I'll be honest and say Mario Kart 7 is in need of new content to remove the incomplete feel from it.

Paper Mario and Animal Crossing better be in 2012 or I will not be happy

This game will be on my "maybe" list since I am more focused on "Kid Icarus: Uprisgn", "Animal Corssing", and "Papre Mario". I may also add in "Smash Bors" if I want more fun on my 3DS. XD

@4

Thanks. I feel better now

I want a White 3DS. My favorite color.

I wish for Super Mario Bros 3 on 3DSVC, seeing as Punch Out gets to see the light on 3DSVC.

Eh, it doesn't bother me. I knew the 3DS version wouldn't have multiplayer and even though the game had multiplayer, I wouldn't buy it. I'm better off saving for the Wii game instead.

@10

Agreed.

Boy oh boy. I've got to get back to Mario Party again. I've played 1 - 5 and nothing else after that since I was broke and was pulled into other good games like Super Mario Galaxy. Mario Party 9 looks good, though I feel that it will never top my most favorite in the series Mario Party 3.

Intriguing.

TwinBee got knocked!

Instant preorder

@59

I hope the same for all of the upcoming games. I'd test drive Fire Emblem: Awakening, Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, Kid Icarus: Uprising (like you said), and Smash Bros.

I'll be happy if Hudson revives Bomberman 3DS and officially quits making Tetris. I do love Tetris, but not from the hands of Hudson.

Great review! After playing this game, I think I'll get FE3DS.

@1

I feel your pain.

Now all I want is the fact sheet for Paper Mario 3DS

@4

Agreed.

I mean "I wouldn't 'mind' playing this on the Wii U". I made a mistake, sorry.

Deja vu! That's the same score I gave this (and Minish Cap, personally) game long ago! XD

Anyway, I'll be honest people. I do like Kirby and the sandbox concept from Metroid, but they don't fit together as it made Amazing Mirror a tedious easter egg hunt for the bosses. Speaking of the bosses, aside from the final boss, they feel somewhat uninspiring and unfun since I found most of them to be the same bosses from Kirby's Adventure. And to top it all off, the multiple Kirbys concept was disappointing since they wonder all over the place, especially when you just called them, and feel somewhat game-breaking. Also, I absolutely hated on losing abilities by being hit only once, seeing as I loved the Smash ability, though a little game-breaking.

But all of the things above I mentioned are just my opinions. Other than the flaws, Amazing Mirror is still a decent game to play, but not on the 3DS due to no multiplayer functionality.

Edit: I may not enjoy this game as I wanted to, but at least I enjoyed this more than Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland.

Paper Mario is the number 1 reason I got a 3DS for. Of course, I got Animal Crossing and Kid Icarus: Uprising on my radar too, but not as much frequency as PM. I know this game is not on the list, but I want Smash Bros 3DS, which probably won't be heard of until Q4 2012 or in 2013

Wario Land 4 is alright and at most, I'll give it a 7/10. A good platformer for the GBA, but way too short and I personally didn't like the rush-to-the-exit concept since going through the level was fun but not when backtracking, not to mention the leastest amount of bosses in the series, putting Virtual Boy Wario Land aside.

Wario Land 2 is one game in the series I would call good (and the first I played), but WL4 is the second best, in my opinion. I didn't enjoy WL1 since it felt too slow compared to its later titles and I didn't enjoy WL3 the most due to its endless backtracking and uninteresting music. Now, I may sound like I'm a Wario-hater, but in truth I am not. I do like Wario, but his titles has their ups and downs.

Oh goody goody!

Swapnote!

I'm game for Blaster Master!

I enjoyed the Game Cube title, but not the DS and Wii titles. I hope the 3DS title will carry me back to the series.

No Mario and Luigi?
No Pokemon Fire Red?

Personally, I didn't enjoy Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. For the least part, they're free.

@6

Same here, my friend.

Uh...Paper Mario...where are yooooouuuuu...? But I'm not panicking, luckily...

3DS updates are a treat as always They should continue to do this

I'll get it if Smash Bros 3DS supports it.
