I think the ratio is kind of like, 50 coins is 250 stars. So, 1 to 5 ratio.
Either way, I was gonna get the game right at launch anyway so this is a bonus for me! As long as it means other PAL countries other than the UK get this too that is.

They're.. not as good as they could have been, honestly. They tried making it a bit too fancy if you ask me. But they're still not too bad.

@LztheBlehBird Yes I know this isn't about an actual game, but everyone seems to think so and even want a Lego Zelda video game. I just don't understand why that is, then again I never understood the appeal of Lego video games in the first place. Lego is meant to build stuff for fun irl and that's where it should stay if you ask me.

But to each his/her own. If people want to play Lego video games, they should do so, I just personally hope no Nintendo franchise falls to become Lego-ized. It brings down all the charm of the franchise.
I'm perfectly fine with actual Zelda themed Lego stuff being made though!

Why is this so popular? I've never seen why Lego versions of games are so popular and they're done to death at this point, I personally hope this never reaches the Zelda (or any Nintendo) franchise.

I played games ever since I was 6 year old (somewhere in the SNES era), but I didn't truly start expanding gaming as my biggest hobby until I got the GameCube. And am I glad it happened, gaming is a wonderful hobby and I'm still busy expanding my GameCube collection (and overall Nintendo collection, at that).

What I was looking forward to mostly was Mario Kart: Double Dash, mostly because I didn't really know about Smash Bros Melee yet (due to lack of internet back in the day). Either way I got both the games eventually, and it's still one of my most loved consoles. Then again, I love any and all of my Nintendo consoles!

As long as we can choose, I'm not going to complain, but digital better not be the standard!

Now in exchange, give us Europeans either Excitebots or Mario Super Sluggers!

I'll pass. If they don't bother to include some good changes in this I'll just stick with Wild World. Which in fact I haven't touched in a long time anyway, so I don't think I'd be playing this for very long either.

Maybe when I find it cheaply sometime. If it includes proper online though, I might change my mind!

YES!! About time these shortcuts would go away! Annoying as heck.

I'm usually not into animated movies all that much but this one has me intrigued! Might even go see it in theatres and bring my 3DS along.

Not a big loss in my opinion, the RPG modes were fun but I never played those nearly as much as the console Mario Tennis games. Now THOSE were awesome. And IF there would be another Mario Tennis RPG, I would want to play as a Mario character, because it's a Mario game, not a generic human and having the game filled with other generic humans.

I don't care what kind of game it'll be (in the platforming department of course), I'll get and enjoy it either way! I'm just hoping Yoshi will be in it since he doesn't seem to be getting his own titles anymore, being the only Mario spin-off platforming hero not to get a Wii title.

Either way, I'm sure Nintendo/Miyamoto will cook up something awesome, no official Mario platforming title has ever been a bad game.

Too bad it's so short, but it's still neat!

Yay for getting all these games in the first place and then getting a nice surprise to boot! Awesome!

More of a certain series usually doesn't do that particular series much good.

In Mario's case though? More is definetely good! They're not overdoing it by releasing a main game every year or two, the spin-offs are simply for people who actually enjoy that sport/puzzle/whatever the spinoff is. That's what most people don't see. Mario's main adventuring titles don't get all that much more attention than Zelda.

Besides, if there WERE too many Mario games, the world would have been tired of him and the gang already, yet Mario games are still immensely popular. At least, most of his titles are. The Baseball series isn't very popular (which is sadly why it never got released in the PAL regions).

A little late for the above comment but.. the GBA version did have one extra hidden level for each world, if memory serves correctly.

Holy.. a year already?! Well the 3DS had a slow start but now it's probably my most used system!

Honestly this one just looks.. plug-ugly. I'm happy with my Zelda 3DS!

Dang, I might need to get one of these sometime!

Eh, I don't even care about awards anymore. It's all based on opinions.

I just pre-ordered my own copy today. Got an e-mail giving a pre-order bonus with 24(!) AR-cards! Dunno if anything like that was known already, but it's what sealed the deal for me personally since I wasn't even sure if I'd be getting the game anytime soon (of course I WOULD have gotten it eventually).

I much, MUCH rather have something I can actually physically touch and look at than having a massive digital collection. It's one of the reasons for me why piracy in itself isn't so attractive, because then you'll only get the digital stuff, nothing to show on your shelves. (Other reasons being.. self-explanatory.)

If digital-only gaming is the future, then I really hope it's in the far, far, far, far, FAR distant future. I enjoy my physical copies of games too much, it's bad enough that we have to settle for obscure tiny manuals already as it is (in the case of 3DS games at least).

I'll be happy even if it's ''just'' another Mercenaries game. They better improve on the first game in that case tho.

And still I'm disappointed by the fact that the 'Classic' mode isn't even an option. Will be getting this anyway though!

I don't think I'd want to know how much this thing would bring up on eBay!

I might actually get this! Never threw away or sold my good ol' SNES and never will either.

Those purple ones.. how the heck are those ever obtained? I don't have any at all and if it's (only) Streetpass that's needed for this then I'll never be able to complete these since hardly anyone here takes their 3DS with them, and those who do barely do anything with their Mii plaza and whatever else... it's annoying as heck.

I rather stay far away from anything that ends with a 'z' in a way like this. Catz, dogz, gnomz.. no thank you.

I just hope that IF there'll be an RPG mode, that the character you'll raise won't make the Mario characters look like crap.. that's the only thing I'm worried about. If they can work around that then I'll gladly have the RPG mode too.

@Kid_A
Some of us liked those moves! I know I did. You could turn them off at that ya know!

Looks pretty neat! Definetely getting this, even if it didn't have online (though of course I'm glad it does!).

As long as they keep moves like wavedashing out I'm fine with however this game turns out. I'll enjoy duking it out against Nintendo All-Stars (and maybe some 3rd parties) with Yoshi all over again!

Also, pretty curious about which characters they'll actually include this time. Kinda hoping ROB and G&W will get the boot even if it's not very likely. Not gonna suggest characters though since that'd be the same ones already suggested over and over again anyways.

I'd love to have something like achievements available. They really do add lots of replay value. I noticed I've been playing Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D a whole lot just to get them all. Don't mind that much if such a thing isn't added though.

... Sure, have these things AFTER my free days, why don'tcha. XD

I wish the option to make things smaller would be available. The toolbar is too big for one. Not a big fan of the part in between the article and the comments either. And I actually prefer the old design, but it's not too bad I guess. ( I swear though, lots of sites I go to have restyled looks that I'm not too fond of because they look much more generic than the old versions.. so I may just be picky. )

Yeah, that much for a single song is a bit much. I'll only be buying them if I -reall- like the songs in that case.

I came to NintendoLife for a reason and that's for Nintendo news and ONLY Nintendo news. Sorry, I'm not interested in Sony! I have a PS1 and 2, but I've barely ever touched those aside from playing FFIX a lot. I'm sticking with Nintendo!

I know, I was just joking. =P

This is the better gambling work! Much better than some lame slot machines!

At least you guys actually live in the same country these events are ever held in!

Well.. some of you.

I've got a few special edition handhelds: A Pikachu/Pokémon Game Boy Color, a Tribal GBA SP, a Zelda GBA SP, and a Zelda 3DS. As well as the red Mario Wii.. even though that's not really anything special considering the European one doesn't even come with the special Super Mario Bros. game, instead just having Donkey Kong pre-installed on it. But oh well.

As for future 3DS colors, I probably won't get another unless it's an updated 3DS a lá DSi to DS since I already have two. If they release a special Yoshi edition though, I won't be able to help myself! I'm hoping they'll even release a Yoshi edition of ONE of their (future) systems at some point. For actual colors though, I'm liking the orange one in warioswoods post!

I surely would've bought RE5, whether it was on Wii or 3DS. I don't have a 360 or PS3 so I had to miss out on the game. I'm sure it'll come to the Wii U though, similar to how RE4 came to the HD platforms.

I actually like playing around with glitches a lot, they're fun to use and explore what you can do with them. I don't like using glitches when they give me an unfair advantage in an online game though, and the only reason I use the Maka Wuhu one is because pretty much everyone does due to it being way too easy to do, as opposed to Grumble Volcano's and whatnot.

I see this glitch being used all the time and it's really, REALLY annoying. Generally, it all comes down to whether or not you can snag a good item in the first item box; if you can get one to use the glitch first, you've pretty much already won unless someone else who uses the glitch gets a blue shell (after doing the glitch). I can do the glitch and I use it, but only because there's no way around it due to this being way too easy and way too abused by everyone.

I actually liked this course until this glitch was known, too. Nintendo really should do something about it... but oh well, it's only one course either way. Could've been worse I suppose. It's still an enjoyable game!

Dang, I didn't expect this to be released until late in 2012, like December.

Up yours then, Sega.

Meh. If we won't get all the eps, then I won't get any of them either. I may have downloaded all the eps when they'd all be released, but yeah.

I loved Wild World, but City Folk was pretty much just a port of the DS version with a couple added things, and AC isn't a game that's very much capable of being a port to me. If the 3DS version doesn't do much new stuff aside from swimming and being able to change your pants and shoes, I'm not buying it, unless I happen to find it for a very cheap price at some point.

I'd like one, but I'll just hate myself if I get this and soon after, the Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack pops up there. D:
