Not bad, but I won't be participating. There's only 1 Best Buy I know, and me and my immediate family don't care for them.

@Midnight3DS: Aside from graphics, the Game Gear version has a "Puzzle Mode" where you have a limited number of beans to clear a level. I think there might be another difference, but I'm not entirely sure.

@GN004Nadleeh: Just because you have a 360, PS3 or PC doesn't make it good. Every system has its ups and downs.

Mario and Sonic racing. That would be pretty sweet. But, I'm still hoping that Sonic will appear in Smash Bros. 4 as well.

I don't mind some nostalgia when it comes to Sonic, but I hope that more characters will appear in Lost World (specifically, more playable characters).

OK, this guy needs to get off his high horse. He says Nintendo should make great games? They already do! They're better than most of EA's crap. He says that Nintendo should "do a SEGA". I think he's jealous that EA doesn't have their own console...

"Call of Duty is the biggest cash cow in the industry". Uh, the Mario series sells better than that... So wouldn't that be the cash cow?

Love this game. A classic from my dad's days, and a classic we love playing.

Mario and Sonic racing each other... That would be pretty sweet. They could probably just use the Olympic games' 20 character roster as a starter, and then buff it out with a few more (like say, the rivals in the Olympic games that you can't play as).

You know, DSiWare is on its way out, but they could at LEAST make some what of an effort...

I don't care what the game's about, neither do I care how it will play... yet. All I know is that I'm getting it for my Wii U. Especially since I've liked every 3D Sonic title released (even Sonic 06 - so go ahead, bash me if you like).

This might sound weird, but I think I'll grab both. I'll have the DLC to play, and keep the physical as a collector's item (after all, it is limited edition).

@ricklongo: Oh, no. Sonic 2 for Game Gear is RADICALLY different. For one, there's 7 completely different Zones. For two, the Chaos Emeralds are not obtained via Special Stages - you have to hunt them down. For three, the first boss is indeed hard - all boss stages have no Rings, so any wrong move is fatal. But despite the difficulty ("The History of Sonic the Hedgehog" claims it to be the hardest game in the series), it's an awesome game to play.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. That was my first game ever - I still have my dad's cartridge and Game Gear (but, the system has shown its age - you can barely see what's on the screen anymore). That, and I feel it's the superior Sonic 2.

Pre-ordering this today. A lower framerate? Meh. Doesn't bother me too much.

OK, I know I need a guide of sorts to get through a Metroid game, since I'm new to it, and I usually get lost, but even I know that if you find a small passage, you need the Morph Ball to get through. Half of the stuff is asking how to use a beam or something - read the darn manual!

FINALLY!!! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!! I CAN FINALLY DOWNLOAD SONIC 2 FOR GAME GEAR ON MY 3DS!!! I'm also excited for Mario and Sonic's next outing, Sonic Lost World looks interesting, and I'll love to get New Super Luigi U.

I like my Aqua Blue original and Red XL, so I'm fine with that.

Well, hopefully they'll have character options this time around (and just Tails DOES NOT COUNT) - they could do a setup like Sonic and the Black Knight; you could unlock additional characters, like Shadow or Knuckles or Blaze, but have the option to play as them. Not required; just an option.

Super week for me - that is, Super Metroid and Super Mario Bros. 2.

Well, I never played the Pac-Man World series, but I may be inclined to give this a closer look for Wii U.

@element187: Amen. To what you said about graphical fidelity.

Well... I'd be more inclined to buy if it were far cheaper, but if I were to win one, I wouldn't complain...

@PvtOttobot: Click the red words "leave a comment" and you'll be taken where you need to go.

See, this is why you should be more clear when you're making statements. Either that or it's a bunch of bunk he's passing off to cover his butt.

So wait... he wants Mario console games on iPad, but he doesn't want consoles to die out?

He needs to re-think his logic a little there. That, and iPad controls aren't as tight as buttons.

@WaveBoy: Sorry, my mistake. I honestly thought that it got brighter like the original 3DS. But, I just plugged mine in, and there was no change.

@WaveBoy: Uh, there is an increase in brightness on a 3DS XL when you have it plugged into an outlet.

Huh. I never thought it was possible, but one of these guys actually considered the possibility of the competition suffering as well. Good on him for finally seeing the light, so to speak.

I was feeling inclined to purchase this. Until I saw that the price is nearly half of what the system cost.

@Andrewroxsox: Ah, gotcha.

@Andrewroxsox: I did. Might be a few days late, but I did. And he had some very valid points.

@capac: You don't need a powerful system to run an excellent game. And Nintendo doesn't need to stoop down to Microsoft or Sony's levels, either.

Ah, another so-called expert foretelling the future. Software is what predominantly sells the console - not necessarily the hardware. As for "not coming any time soon", well, games take freakin' time to make! I also like how this guy claims that a controller with a built in touch screen is more convoluted than a camera sensor that requires practically an 8 feet by 8feet square to use properly at the least, not to mention that you can't have anything on your back wall, because if you do, it won't recognize what you're trying to do.

I love this game. A true classic played by my family.

@gavn64: You forgot Donkey Kong, Wario, Earthbound, Kid Icarus, and Yoshi. Just thought I'd let you know.

@Einherjar: Wow... That was pretty accurate as to how I play my games - get them for the systems that they're available for - not for the systems themselves. But then again, I did luck out to a point since my dad bought a 360 to play Guitar Hero - I'm the one who bought my Wii and Wii U.

As for this developer, I say whatever floats their boats. Nintendo didn't need them before, and they don't need them now. And I won't know apparently how great Sony's exclusives are because I don't have a PS3, and I don't plan to get one.

@dragon_rider: You nailed someone for liking My Little Pony?

KUDOS TO YOU, MAN!

@allav866: Pretty sure we ain't getting Diddy Kong Racing. Only because it has Rare's characters in it.

@Midnight3DS: I'd say it's in the ballpark of Sonic 2 for Game Gear - you know, MAYBE it'll come, since we've been waiting for these titles since either before the 3DS launched (in my case) or since we've gotten the system (in your case). Ah, NOA. At least you don't fail when it comes to disappointment...

Um... North America says hi! I'd buy this in a heartbeat...

Well... At least I can update Xevious...

@Legromancer: That does make sense, but I'm sure the developer would have some answer to it so they couldn't get slammed with false advertisement. For example, Sonic Unleashed for Xbox 360 was marked with Leaderboard support, but there's no such option in the game, and SEGA never got in trouble for it.

@SetupDisk: I know, right? If I had the answer "We have not made any DLC announcements for Wii U", I'd follow up with "I know. Why do you think I'm asking you until you give me a more direct answer?"

@SkywardLink98: Well, wouldn't it be a good idea to branch out to gather a wider audience? I just honestly think some of these third parties are treating the Wii U like they did to the Wii - they have no faith in it. Therefore, they're being biased just because the Wii U is Nintendo's console. That's the way I see it.

@Cheaptrick: Somebody can't read right. I don't have an iPAD. I have an iPOD, which I only got last year because I actually have to work for most of my expensive stuff - I can't just ask my parents to buy it on a whim, unlike some people. And obviously, I did type the word "Sonic" into the search section, because otherwise I wouldn't have Sonic 1, Sonic 2, or Sonic Spinball downloaded onto my iPod. I prefer those games on the Virtual Console because they're more pure ports - you know, with the original menus and cheat codes, for example. That, and the sound quality on the iPod versions are poor, and the controls are also poor. Oh, and you also wonder why I apparently didn't know about this - guess what? I'm a Sonic the Hedgehog fan! You think I wouldn't know a thing or two about one of my favorite game series?

These third party developers need to grow the hell up and stop being biased when it comes to releasing games and DLC on systems.

Another thing I just realized; they had quite a few games in their "teaser" trailer before the VC launched. If Nintendo could do that, how come all of those games weren't available at launch?

@APHughes: That's just the thing; there isn't too much on there that's more tangible.
