Thank you for the review I was just about to DL based on the wii's versions status as a great game. I guess I will put that toward Starship: Damrey.

I will buy, I will play, good times shall be had. Carry on, that is all.

Love this game and so glad I got it. Actually better than I remember which is rare with retro games for me.

Physical media for me, so glad they offered this. I can wait longer to get this. I think the $$ is fair as well..

Never played the original, cause I hate the waggle, so I will give this version a shot. NIce review, helped me make my decision.

I got Super Metroid last night, SMB2 is a for sure get. Starship and S&S depend on what I read on the reviews. I may get other games down the road. All in all a good week.

@Funny_Moblin I have lots of both. I like physical media, I am a collector as well as a gamer, but only RPG's make me feel like I must own physical media these days. I will be gettin AC:NL digital, since that will be perfect for quick plays at lunch and such. Nintendo worked with me when I traded up w/ my XL, but I also only had a few E-shop games at the time. It is a conundrum, losing save date would really irk me, thankfully the game I care the most about my saved data on are owned with physical copies. If the game means a lot to you, go physical if not which ever catches your fancy. In the end only physical will stay forever, cause any online service may disappear in the future, which in the business world is very unpredictable.

@Funny_Moblin I have migraine issues and 3D effects can cause them, so I don't play in 3d. My son say's it looks better on the XL, but he is just 9...

@Funny_Moblin I prefer the XL because the bigger screen is important to me. However the sound seems worse then the 3ds, which my son now has. Some people say the resolution is not as good, but I haven't noticed that.
As for the system, it is my favorite at the moment. Lots of great 3ds games, and I can play my massive library of DS games on it as well. E-shop has some fun games, and the future looks oh so bright.

Sweet. I will no longer end up buying copies of this series just because I had extra $$ at the gamestore. I own a few of these but never had in real desire to play them. Digital only means that temptation will be gone, since the collection aspect of owning the game will be nixed.

Well, it is my favorite system that currently, ever maybe not so much. However, it is with me every single day, gaining coins and street/spot passin people. I even take it hiking and enjoy a quick play when I'm taking a breather or having lunch.

I will be getting this, because for some reason I am very fond of this entry in the series. I know it's not really a Mario game (Doki Doki Panic?), but I spent a lot of time playing it and remember it being one of the few games that I couldn't seem to be beat no matter how many times I played it. Sadly that means I will be even worse now, since the newer games these days are very easy in comparison (Most).

Glad to read this article, it makes me happy I'm supporting a company with at least some integrity. After all the problems I've had w/ Sony (PS3), and there unwillingness to even achieve basic customer service, it makes my decision to be mainly a Nintendo guy easier. I'm sure I will own a PS4/720, but I will only buy a few games ever, like I did w/ the PS3/360.

I do hope that info like this encourages people to consider Nintendo products in the future. I have bought a few of my friends WiiU''s in hopes that the fun they are having will rub off on other people they know. All my friends have been suprised by how much fun they are having with the WiiU, and have bought a few games of their own (I supllied NSMBU, LC: Undercover). If you own a WiiU show it off to friends, you may be suprised by their reaction. Only my FPS gamer only friends have not shown any interest when shown the console.

@Ballordie01 I just researched this and Pokemon is owned by Nintendo. They could VC it even if it wasn't. Capcom does VC games so does Sega, possibly others.

I bought Black/White 1&2, and they are the 1st Pokemon games I have ever owned. Thought maybe my son and I would really enjoy them. We both started games, but neither of us seems to mesmorized by them. Have to try again when I have a new game drought.

As a person who has less music/artistic talent than a rock, I am always amazed by people with these talents. Great job by these 2 gentleman, and I'm glad there is only positive comments in this thread so far. I love stuff like this on NL, thanks for making sure a few more people check this out.

Dragon Warrior IV, oh yeah.

Very fun game. Unusual style of game, but I found myself playing this a lot more than I thought I would when I first started playing. Worth a go if you can spare the $$.

@Five-seveN Congrats. You do off campus/homeschooling? Because I've been homeschooling my son, and I like it. Get to use my teaching degree for something useful now.

Well I won't be joining in, I refuse to even have a cell phone. I may be a zombie at home for 2hours a day playing one of my game systems, but I am unwilling to become a smart phone zombie. Everone has there face in their phone's all day long. I see people sitting at lunch together, never say a word to eachother but instead mess with their phone. That seems to be the norm these days too, not an exception.

I have a 32GB SanDisk seems to work well have 210,000 blocks left (21GB??) 52 games but only Unchained Blades is a full retail release (per say). Although in fairness I impulse bought way too many game once I got the 32GB card. Lots of games I didn't really need.

I think Gilbert Gottfried would be great for a young Batman.

I own all the US SMT versons since PS1- but this will be the 1st I play for any real amount of time. I am going to make a point to finally actually play one of these.

Hope Ghostlight get any other Atlus games right for you guys/gals in Eurpoe/AUS. Hate to see you guys wait as long as appears you do, and get stuck w/ poorly tested versions of a game. Hoping for the best in the future for y'all.

@theblackdragon Thanks for backin me up, per se. I couldn't get my browser to let me comment. My feelings, toward Disney actually are philisophical, and create a lot of animosity w/ people I'm finding. I think I will choose to not bring it up anymore. It's not the $$ thing, cause he doesn't get anything he wants. I should have changed what I said to "I've told him of the vile business practices and character of Walt Disney himself, and he has learned that it is a bad company to support."
My choice of words was poor, letting my hatred get the better of my judgement.

You guys above are getting a little to heated. Try to chill out folks, no one wants this to become IGN comment board, lol.I would just say this, if a game has had a following for many many years, it should be regarded as a classic. Taste's vary, but games that no one likes never stir up debate. I admit that my personal tastes of games borders on snobbery toward what I consider "pop" gaming. Stuff like FPS's and GTA (and GTA clones) I view as utter garbage personally. However, it would be dumb for me to say the the 1st GTA or possibly it's sequels, will not be classics. A large group of people find them to be amazing, I just don't, doesn't mean they won't be classics. Am I making sense?? Probably not.

I feel like we won't see anything come of this change for a long while still.

@Captain_Balko A very detailed reply I must say. I get what both you and @CanisWolfred are saying. As a previous reply of mine said, I loved his list, but I also liked a lot of those game he does not like. I must say I also can't see how SMW was hard at all, but we all have games that give us trouble. Me and Mario 64 never did mesh control wise .
Side note- what happened to the results of the NL member's Favorite NES games go. Thought he said they were gonna be here during the weekend??

Thank goodness I have trained my son to hate disney as much as I do. No wallet apocalypse like Skylanders has done to me.

Just remembered a game I loved that I never hear anyone talk about. KIng Arthur's World, SNES. Man I played the Heck out of that game but I'm probably in the minority of people who have played or liked it.

@Captain_Balko I have always disliked the DKC series of games. I quick polled my workplace and no one here liked them either, so Its not that odd really. I really like @CanisWolfred list he has. Some great games there.

@Ras I too have just recently played/owned my first Kirby game. Always thought I was to cool to play a game w/ a pink mascot, lol. Fun game although it doesnt wow me. My son is really enjoying them however.

Final Fantasy III (US). Only game I've ever played through more than 5 times. Plus I own the remakes as well. Just an amazing game, actually my favorite game of all time truth be told.

@zool I refuse to buy physical copies online, since it is very rare that it will help my local community. I find it is worth paying more to help any business's in my area open and profitable. Many of us are to narrowminded about our $$, and lose sight of the big picture. Keeping jobs in your community helps the community as a whole.

My home copy is set on classic normal. My work/away copy is on casual mode normal. I enjoy the casual mode a lot more than I thought, much more relaxing, lol.

@Peach64 I tend to agree with you about be a little dissapointed in the Guild_01 games. But on the otherhand, I love the fact that each game has a unique style or gameplay type. I applaud the efforts and the courage of Level 5 to help get these games created. I will support this next run as well, I don't want a gaming future w/ just stupid FPS and GTA style games.

I agree w/ the 3 previous statements as well, haha. Although truth be told, I actually dislike Bearshark. But as always, the more games the better for E-shop.

@DreamDrop Eh seems fair enough, they seem to get the shaft a lot. Good for them on this one.

@Tech101 Really $50, holy cow. I hope that doesn't become a trend also.

Pre-ordering today.

I may get this for my son's 3ds, I know he will enjoy it. Plus I can give it a whirl myself when he is asleep, mwuhaha.

Gonna give Liberation Maiden a chance.

I just have to say that I 'm glad a new Zelda game is coming. I can't read the comments anymore. Nothing Nintendo does seems to please some people, even the ones who claim to be fans. This is to classic, not classic enough, should've gone completly new gameplay, should've stuck more to the original's. Sigh, just irritating.

What is this Zelda franchise you all keeping mentioning. I should look into this series maybe???

@PopeReal Hey sickle, you did send in the e-mail form right...? Just making sure.

1. Dragon Warrior 4
2. Dragon Warrior 2
3. Dragon Warrior
4.Dragon Warrior 3
5.Final Fantasy
6. Super Mario Bros. 3
7. The Legend of Zelda
8.Contra

I will be picking this up on my lunch. Good review, gald the MC score thing got fixed quickly. Like how on top of stuff people on this site are. @Tech101 I'm in the same boat as you, almost done w/ EOIV. Except I want to play my Fire Emblem I bought a while back 1st, lol.

@KnightRider666 Wait, are you saying all those qualities are a bad thing???

Not a game I enjoy in the least. However, since it will make $$ for Nintendo and the Publisher, so that they may make more games, I'm glad to hear about this. Hope everyone enjoy's it when it comes out.
