I think that's a great shame, I feel that KH3 would be perfect for the Wii U, but hey ho.

It looks sweet, I'd buy it!

I absolutely can't wait to play this badboy! Phoenix Wright - I've missed you!

Another ridiculous game that I want in my collection.

@MrBrownie Glad you found it useful. You can't order replicas of other players items during the dream mode, but you can order most furniture from players you've streetpassed in the streetpass avenue of the main street. All the online features sound a little confusing down on paper but all will become clear once you boot up the game!

@Mowzle Hiya! It's saved to the SD card, so you can always take the card out to use on other 3DS consoles.

@brandonbwii I think what you've heard is right, you don't seem to be able to send letters to other towns that you've visited, only your own townsfolk and 'Future Me'. Not sure why they'd axe this feature... I'd presume in order to accommodate all the new features they've put in?
You can't take anything to or from the dream world, only the drawings which Wendell gives you. However, Wendell doesn't function like he normally would in the dreams, you don't have to give him any food and he will give you a pattern from the town your visiting, not the normal patterns he gives out in the 'real world'. I think Wendell pops up every time you visit a dream town.
Yep you can still buy a timer! I think it pops up for sale after you've expanded the convenience store for the first time.
I don't think the Observatory exists any more (although I could be mistaken), as Celeste now works in the museum gift shop which pops up after you've expanded your museum to the 2nd floor.

Hope this answers everything!

@Mowzle Haha yes I was joking. In honesty, I have waaay to big a guilty conscience to do that to anyone. If that was my town I'd cry for days!
Saying that, a friend (now acquaintance) of mine did axe some of my trees in Wild World a few years back.. It didn't end well.

@Philip_J_Reed Not gonna lie there was a LOT of that going on last week and I'm not one to often swear. Maybe after release I'll video myself playing just for your viewing pleasure

@bassoongoon From what I understand, Bob's an anti-hero, so while he's not exactly a good guy (doesn't really care about saving the princess), he's not evil either.

@bahooney The soundtrack is pretty similar to Wild World, albeit with new tracks. It's mostly calming atmospheric music fitting with the season/time of day, and while it definitely changes throughout the course of the day, I'm not 100% certain that it changes every hour. A few of the more memorable character themes are back (e.g. Resetti's), but I do believe it's mostly new material.

@LittleIrves Pwnee are genuinely lovely guys too, always very forthcoming with updates etc. I really hope their imminent launch goes well for them

I really enjoyed the time I spent with Cloudberry Kingdom. It was old-school platforming heaven.

@Erica_Hartmann Doubutsu no Mori! Japan-only N64 original of Animal Crossing Pretty similar to the Gamecube copy we all love so much.

@MetallicDonkey @P184 Hey guys, I wanted to keep the review as short and sweet as possible (while keeping a few things secret for players to experience on their own), as obviously there a loooads of new features in New Leaf which I couldn't possibly cover in one review.

To answer your question, the Tropical Island does features lots of mini-games for players (and their local/online friends) to experience, such as bug-catching, fishing, ore-mining competitions and matching games. You win medals which can be exchanged for island-exclusive items!

If anyone else has any questions which I haven't covered in the review, feel free to ask me here, I'm more than happy to help!

Haha WISE FWOM YOUR GWAVE. This just reminds me of our Christmas round-table now. Absolutely loved Altered Beast on the Mega Drive.

I'm really holding out for a Western release of Fantasy Life! Looks like such a sweet game.

Looking awesome!

Let's bring it to Europe this time please!

That Panda is the cutest!

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom is an awesome fighter, so even if it doesn't make it to the eShop you owe it to yourself to track down a Wii copy

This is amazing!

I'm a huge sucker for a good visual novel / dating sim. A European release, please!

YES!!! I've been crossing my fingers for this for a long time now, can't believe it has finally been announced!!

This is amazing!!

Not sure on this one, but as always I'm certain it will grow on us in time..

Oddly this problem seems to be occurring quite a lot recently as @invmat said - often the debug kits the testers and developer/publishers play on shows absolutely no sign of problems, and its only on retail consoles that issues occur, as the case with VLR. Very strange.

I was also really looking forward to this one! Looks like I'll be holding off for a while now..

Nice review Phil, I do like a game with a bit of humour, but not sure that alone could sway me to buy a Naruto game...

Yes, yes, yes!!

There are so many Japan-bound Level-5 games I need in my life!

My over-sized sword is ready!

I feel like Disney Infinity has great potential if 'done right', so it's probably for the best that it has been delayed. Hoping they won't fulfil their promise of churning out a new game every year - sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Absolutely can't wait for this!

Ooh! Looks cute

Nice interview Orla! I would never have put that voice to his face - amazing.

Morgan, I'm starting to get the impression you have a bit of a soft spot for cute, chibi-style witch dominated games.... ;D Great review as always!

Yes! Definite Wii U purchase for me

Not sure on the demo at all, but art style is cool enough. Hopefully the more we see more better it will get!

@Tasuki Ooh, I might have to try it then! Sure I've got some hama beads lying around...

Those bead creations are awesome! I might have a go at doing a Link one myself! Probably a lot harder than it looks though..

I really like the look of this one! Especially the cute pug at the end of the Kickstarter video - marketing gold, that is.

Hahaha this is amaaazing!!

So ready for some Smash Bros. on my Wii U

@C7_ I agree, it's good to have an ambitious project - but at least see if it sells first before announcing plans like that!

I think this actually looks pretty cool! Especially the Nightmare Before Christmas area! Sandbox games are always on my radar.

I need this game in my life so bad! Glad to hear it's doing well

@hamsterfactor Woops you're right! I meant Hypno Worm. Thanks for pointing that out

Lovely review Jon, very tempted to grab it myself.. but think of the trophies if I played it on PS3..... (I can't believe I just typed that.)

I'm feeling Tokyo Crash Mob

This is SO awesome!
