At first these WAH NO VC TITLES whinings used to annoy me, but now I'm actually starting to get amused by them. Something's wrong here.

Colors is finally here, though? This has got my morning off to a great start! Going to download ASAP!

That cake is adorable.

@LordTendoboy
Seconded that lol.

@Jamouse
"(we disowned WaltzElf)"

Oh man, thanks, I needed a good laugh.

The fact that this could have been decent surprises me.

Does this mean that educational games CAN be entertaining after all?

@zeeroid
Wow, really? That's depressing. lol

Good to see I wasn't the only one who thought to take advantage of Xevious for 100 coins. A game I read about being decent and having really cool 3D but not really having a personal experience or really knowing if it's really worth it for 6 bucks? I dunno. The same game for 100 coins that I pretty much get for free? Sign me up!

It's a neat read, for sure. Haha, lookit the young Miyamoto! He still seems so full of energy these days.

@C-Olimar
Good to know I wasn't the only one thinking that Dillon would fit well in Super Smash Bros. Pullblox stage would be supremely awesome too!

Also, for some reason, this Samurai's nose really makes me think of the Wind Waker. If this is more action like Zelda and not so timing-based, I'll heavily consider it. Hope to hear more about it!

That tagline made me laugh.

Oh yeah? Well have you ever heard this one?

"A man walks into a bar....
"Ouch!""

lol Dragon Quest VIII.

Even so, why do these things always take four batteries? I already have a different wireless sensor bar and I ask myself the same thing about it all the time.

@36
It's okay, grumblegrumble, it's not a secret to everybody, I believe you!

Here's your pic. Took a picture with my iPod Touch with the Nintendo Life site in the back with my avatar shown.

Not really enough for solid proof, but it's a pic alright. If you don't wanna believe me, fine, but there's the pic.

@27
No, not really. I just downloaded them all easily. They're sitting on my home screen.

@24
Weird, I just got the same message from another friend who's also over in North America. I guess it's slowly spreading? I'm not sure, I got them just fine. Maybe wait a little bit?

Downloading now!

Wait, people still think that their 2GB card won't hold everything? I have so many things downloaded, yet I still have more than 5000 blocks ( whatever those are ) left on my card. It won't be filled for a while, so I say people should stop worrying so much about it!

Also, that box art is amazing. Can't wait for any of these games, plus Dillon's Rolling Western is really making me want to play Spirit Tracks again. I heard somewhere it's made by the same developers of Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks, is that true?

No gold cable? Oh well, that's a bit of a miss, but I still want this, if not just because I need a new nunchuk!

Though, of course, I'd rather have it in red anyway.

Now all we need is multiplayer, and this'll be perfect. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror was simply...amazing with four players! Used to play it all the time at school with friends. Too bad no multi, though.

Still, there's a disturbing lack of Mario 3 everywhere. It wasn't in the NES games, a Classic NES game, nor in these GBA games. Oh well, good thing I own it multiple times then.

If Flipnote Memo was on there, probably that.

Wait, there are still people who don't know about the creepypasta for this game? My brother couldn't sleep for days after he read that. lol.

On topic, though, these cutscenes are adorable. I wish they were kept in the game, honestly. Plus, when the Great Fairy positions Link's arm in the second cutscene, I was a bit in awe because it looked really good.

Tanuki suits not controversial enough?

Have a game about family abuse!

No, but seriously, I wanna see this idea come to life, just to see what's in that amazing man's head.

Sweet! Can't wait to get Pushmo, but it's going to cut a lot into my Mario Kart time. Ah, balance!

@Marakuto
Haha, I read that with your avatar and laughed.

But seriously, congrats to the 3DS to it's unsurprising rise!

Missed out on the launch, and for a couple of weeks, went Wii-less. Months later, my parents randomly came home with a Wii, and that's the story of why me and my brother never finished Tales of Symphonia.

Nowadays, my Wii's on its last legs from all the games of Super Smash Brothers Brawl me and my family plays. Such a great system.

I'd say keep Link silent, but let everyone else talk.

Heck, I think it'd be funny if Link opens his mouth to say something, but every time, he'd be cut off by something before a word gets in.

@C-Olimar
Thanks for the tip! I don't know if I'm willing to pay 12 bucks for a downloadable game, but $4.99 sounds reasonable enough, even if everyone hypes Shantae as the best game ever.

I've joined! I'll go ahead and start racing on here once I'm done getting all three stars. Seeing as I got all 50cc three stars, it shouldn't take long 'til you start seeing me, Ray, on the racing street against you guys!

All items joined, because Mario Kart's just not Mario Kart without 'em.

Duke Nukem Forever: Lite Version.

To be honest, even though I hated the Wii Wheel, I was really hoping this was also going to be packaged in with this game, like Mario Kart Wii.

Can't hurt to try after all, right? I'll probably be getting it when I have money to burn, and then it'd just go displayed on my wall with my other Wii Wheel.

No-op? That mix-up makes it almost worth it to say that, because I got a good laugh out of it.

Honestly, Nintendo's been delaying a lot of things 3DS-wise, so I could understand people's annoyance ( Including mine ). Of course, I don't think this is omg-end-of-the-world-must-sell-my-3DS bad.

I'll be eagerly awaiting this, but until then, Mario Kart 7!

You see, this is what I hate about being fat: You never get things in your sizes. Oh well, they're still fun to look at, that Zelda 25th shirt is quite sexy. I want!

I'm with Geonjaha on this one, if anything, it might also be something along the lines of the Luma player in Super Mario Galaxy.

If it is going to be exploring, though, I have to wonder if it's multi-card or not. I can't wait to hear more!

Are people really surprised? Mario sells!

Hopefully, this will shut up naysayers, but I doubt it.

If it's shorter than Mario 3D, I can definitely get this to hold me off til Mario Kart 7 comes out. How exciting!

Man, how lucky, I remember a Japanese trailer for this, and I was afraid it'd be too "weird" to come out here. I'm so glad that it's coming overseas, though!

2/10?

I lol'd.

Also, where are the Miis? These kinds of titles usually call for the kind of person who really love the Miis, or so I've seen, anyway.

Now I need to see if this is the same auto show my parents go to. It'd be great to have a family outing, and then seeing some Nintendo stuff, especially since I live about a 20 minute drive away.

I never really thought the 3D would do much for this game anyway, but I do love this game that I'd buy it again on my 3DS. Really disappointed in hearing that it won't even extend to that widescreen display and will instead have those ugly black borders.

Might as well have released it as an ambassador game, honestly.

Take that, naysayers!

This only makes me think of the fact that a lot of SNES games would look great with a 3D treatment because of the mode 7 layers. Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid, and Kirby Superstar's opening movie come to mind.

And thus Nintendo figured out a cheaper alternative to having multiple extra touchpad screens for the WiiU...

...is my guess.

Nintendo, your plan is working.

I wish these companies would think about the fact that not everyone buys black systems. That, and I love my charging cradle.

Oh, and the 3DS's battery life is fine.

lol

Man, and still no review.

I never really understood the hate for this game, aside from the fact that your saves were only made with suspended saves ( As both PunnyGuy and Stardust had pointed out ) it's a really fun game.

I guess if it's not the same as everything else, it's an awful game. Which is weird, because I considered Mario fans to be a little more open-minded than that since Mario's used a lot in differing gamestyles.

By the way, making it all the way to Bowser, saving it and powering off only to find out that your nephew had powered it on, loaded your save and then turned off the game without saving, resulting in all your data lost, is not fun.

@5 she_gamer
In terms of replay value, there's a lot of extra puzzles to do after the story is done, but after you've pretty much done everything, there really isn't any replay value to speak of. But in a game like this, that's not surprising at all.

Trust me, though, it's good, especially if you love puzzle games.

Hey, for 200 points along with your review, it doesn't sound like a bad way to waste two bucks.

It may be a 4/10 on NintendoLife, but at least it's still a discount mediocre game instead of an expensive mediocre game.
