Crazy. I always thought that the systems had basically the same controller!

...in other words, slow news week, eh?

Would love to have one in the Akron, Ohio area.

Vita is going in the clearance bin if something doesn't happen at E3. It is dead in the water right now.

well that's... something.

The stuff about fighting the old gym leaders is cool though.

Good to hear. I noticed MK7 sales dropped out of the top 10 NPD much faster than the previous DS game. I bet that is what prompted the fix, since people were not playing online because of it.

I so want to buy this.

@hydeks $27,000? Set for life? Where are you living, 1920? The down payment on my house was $40,000 alone. Even a cheap car is going to cost you $12,000. I'll give you the "set for video games for life comment," but 10 to 1 says you blow all the money at gambling, booze and women.

Very cool feature, but how could she sell that cartriadge. Pretty hot as well, all things considered.

Well that looks challenging. And by challenging I mean insane.

I'm in.

VC lives, and therefor that makes this a good week.

Nintendo put things on sale? Ha! Better chance an elephant will fly while a bunch of crows sing about it.

It's a good idea, it really is, but it's not going to happen. The machines taking over though, yeah, that could actually happen.

That was pretty hilarous. I swear every person about the age of 13 was on drugs during the 80s.... OK not much different than today.

I will buy this for sure. Screw needing children for an excuse to buy them.

Very nice. Hopefully some people will pick one or both of these games up.

Wow, just wow. A little effort for the digital scene, please Nintendo?

Between this and the Last Story, I'll be plenty busy this summer.

@Demonic Are you basing your "junk" assesment on its box art or something? Jeez, just because its not first party doesn't mean its junk.

So is this coming out in Europe only, or maybe America? Might be worth a look.

Darn, was hoping this might get a better review than the one on Nintendo Life. Wonder if they would try patching it, addressing some of the issues mentioned. If I was a game developer, I know I would do that.

Then of course that leads to the whole, "should games be re-reviewed post patch" topic.

@dark-insanity Agree $5 games shouldn't be 150 coins, but if you have expiring coins on Club Nintendo, it's worth using them on. I have 190 expiring coins, so it makes Pictobits that much more appealing.

Boo-urns. Boooooooo-urns!

Pictobits looks like the one to pick up this month for sure. The others are easy passes.

Why did this get reviewed before Block Factory? I'm actually somewhat interested in that being a puzzle fan.

Can we get a Block Factory review? I love puzzle games, if its has good create-a-puzzle-game features, I'm picking that up for $4.

Gamecube only sold 21 million and N64 only 32 million? Holy crap that's horrible. And I love those systems.

Sony posted, what, a $6 billion loss for last year? $500 million doesn't seem so bad in comparrison.

Does show the gaming industry is going to have to start cutting back a bit. The mainstream boom is over.

$10 million Wii U units sold and I couldn't tell you one worthwhile non-port on the system? Not to mention no release date for the system? Iwata needs to lay off whatever he's smoking.

Japan is selling better because they already have games we still don't. Layton, Monster Hunter, Fire Emblem, etc etc. We don't even have release dates for some of these games. I'm not worried about the system anymore, but I only own 2 3DS cartridges, but that is also due to not wanting to pay $40 per title, waiting for sales.

I prefer to own to things digitally. I don't spend more than $5 for a game on Steam because I don't own a physical copy. I would imagine I'd have the same barrier with the eShop. And since eShop still doesn't do weekly sales, I would think I'd be buying most games physically since there are actually sales in stores.

Hoping this game will be one of the "spend coins to get this" with Club Nintendo next month. Would love to play it being a big puzzle fan.

I do not like having to recenter as much as I seem to on some play sessions, but it works well for the most part. Still a great game.

Very funny video though.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Love puzzle games, would love to be able to create my own. Hope the final review is a good one.

What you Europeans start buying Pandora's Tower and stop saving your money for COD 47!

As someone else said, have this have online multiplayer, and the game will selll gangbusters. I mean like epic amounts. Hoping that is revealed at E3.

Always like having to help spend my coins. Great to see more panels. Need to open this up to third parties as well, along with more swapnote templates.

Not free? Not worth it.

Whatever helps sell the 3DS is a good thing. So this is a good thing.

I still want Monster Hunter announced.

Spell it out with me people:

S-H-O-V-E-L-W-A-R-E.

We need more games per week Nintendo, not less! Would love for something to come out that would at least make me consider a purchase.

Sorry Camelot, that's an excuse for you being lazy, and I am only going to pay $20 for this game whenever I do buy it.

What I expected, so good news.

Need these in America!

2 things? That's just sad, even if the 3DS game looks OK.

Oh boy, minor changes! Still not buying, and I love Pokemon.

I'll stick with Conquest, thanks.

Agreed. Anything where I can use a stylus instead of my finger would make for better controls. I can see what he's saying.

With that said, I find Angry Birds to be a very boring game. Flick, flick, flick, flick...

You go with what sells. Sex, drugs, violence and Mario.

How those go together I don't know, but it's true.

Glad it's free for early adopters. But paid DLC is a big no no Nintendo. You are turning to the dark side. Please turn back before it's too late!

Won't pay $300, so this better not be true.

That killed some excitement for me. I'm in that group that wanted the RPG elements. The customization is nice, but not nearly as complex. Will be good for a $20 pick up.

Not a Vita game in sight. Is that doing well? I know only 1 person who owns one.

It matters. Why? It has to be powerful enough so that when PS4 and Xbox 720 come out, they don't have to make big changes in order to release the same game on all 3 platforms. We don't want a repeat of this generation, and that's what I'm worried about.
