I can't wait to play this.

@Nick-Clegg I'll say. There's a lot of alcohol, some cursing, and a Prohibition-era burlesque dancer, so that's probably why.

@XCWarrior "Darn, was hoping this might get a better review than the one on Nintendo Life."

Head explodes.

I love it, I buy it

Hello Nurse!

I know it looks like Nintendo's running out of ideas, but I remember pining for a new Super Mario Bros type game. Many of you are growing up with NSMB and its variants, but 16 years went by between World and NSMB, and then three more before NSMB Wii for those of us who didn't own a DS. To me it doesn't look like overkill yet, and I'm happy to have more experiences to play the type of game that I longed for from 1990-2009.

I can't waiiiiiit

I love Dinosaur Office.

Snarf...

For a minute I thought this was about the sports-themed barber shop Sports Clips

I was very excited, but now I think I'll wait for it to come to Redbox.

It sounds awesome, but I get worried when I think about how many disappointing licensed DS sidescrollers there are. We'll see!

Well, I've had fun with you, Resident Evil. I guess I'll have to get more invested in the Silent Hill and Dead Space series, etc. Pretty annoying move if you ask me.

I think the biggest problem with Mega Man Legends 3 was the non-transparency of it. It looked revolutionary and interactive, but mixed messages — like hearing through a press release that a beta would come to the eShop upon its opening, then hearing through a Q&A (I think) that the game wasn't even green-lit by Capcom — speak volumes, and show that they were not 100% forthcoming on their side. I think if we'd known more about the struggles the team was clearly going through, in the best case scenario the fans would have come through and gathered grassroots support like they're doing now, and in the worst case scenario, we would have seen the cancellation coming instead of it feeling like a slap in the face.

A: The Beatles, who were quite fond of the number 9.

Q: This game is the favorite Mario Party title of WHICH popular 60's band?

@Swiket (grunts like Tim Allen)

Nice Home Improvement reference! (grunts like Tim Allen)

When is Pokemon Snap going to get the sequel it so richly deserves!

That looks great - but I sure hope they have an option to blow up the picture to fit the full screen better (without distorting it by stretching it, of course). Best of both worlds.

This is awesome — and coincidentally answers one of my hopes...

yeah!

I know that Aahh! is likely intended to be pronounced like a sigh of relief, but I think that a panicked scream is much funnier, and that is how I shall read it.

This is my favorite game title since Oops! Prank Party.

Aww. Was looking forward to this - haven't played a game in the series but loved Sim Theme Park aka Theme Park World. They had an ad for this game inside the Centipede: Infestation box too... ah, jeez.

Heart-eating ftw

NintendoLife.com is my tag too!

I dunno, Banjo Kazooie is to Kinect Sports as steam engines are to bullet trains? I guess I'm a little bit steampunk then.

These purses are empty.

Review coming soon!

I hope no one confuses this for a Professor Laiton game

The obvious choice is to shorten it to the Nintendo Wu.

come on smell-o-vision...

From Word Searcher to House MD to Carmen Sandiego... you're a saint, Ron!

Yeah, really entertaining review Mark. I like reading about these bad games, especially when I can laugh while doing so.

@Godot I haven't tried to 100% it, but I didn't encounter any game breaking glitches on the way to finishing the main quest and doing some side stuff.

Looks awesome.

@lunarkitty No significant glitches in my experience.

@LEGEND_MARIOID It was pretty close!

Happy 100th review to me!

Also, the opening is a reference to this short story by Michael Ian Black — very funny, but some explicit material, so be warned.

They're probably not doing a 3DS version just yet because that would necessitate voice acting (if they wanted to keep the precedent set by Overclocked) and this was likely in development before they could reach a decision on that.

@lonlon-milker Actually Traveller's Tales has said they'd love to do a LEGO Doctor Who, they just need LEGO to release a Doctor Who set first.

The best Zelda is Zelda II

@DarkEdi Per our scoring policy,

This game is not good enough to rush out and buy without doing your homework. Whilst you should approach with a degree of caution you might still really enjoy this game. A good example of a six is a lazy sequel, it doesn't innovate but it doesn't really do anything wrong. Other games with a six may be flawed in crucial areas.

It's a decent game - it could be a good game, but the faults I've listed drag it down.

@Ren Yeah it was close, but those difficulty spikes really off-set the experience for me.
@Kid_A That doesn't really apply to this. It has to do with presentation only.

We use "scheme" both ways in the U.S.

Australia gets everything first!

In the days before the VC, this was a great way to play classic games you'd win. Unfortunately I transferred my pack-in games from the controller pak to a 3rd-party memory card that got corrupted. Lesson learned!
