pfft, that would be terrible, I wouldn't buy that POS...the answer is something with physical controls, or maybe like a slider that has controls (and a second screen) under it

EA did such a great job with NFS: Most Wanted on WiiU, using all the PC assets, why in the world can't they bother to produce games they are making for poopy phones....sigh

Hmm, maybe I'll fund it at the $17 level, which gives me PC version and WiiU copy

And this is why I already pre-ordered a physical copy from Newegg for $28 that will not require such a large download or space on my sd-card

They should convince Disney to give Netflix the rights to the series for streaming, that'll introduce the show to a new generation if that's the issue...

Fire Emblem had such high download rates because the retail cart was so hard to find! But even so I'm pleased with the progress the eshop has made above and beyond the Wii shop

I totally never played through the Wii version because I hated having to shake the WiiMote to pound the ground and stuff. I look forward to the 3DS remake having a button combo for that instead. Also I think the 3DS lends itself really well to sidescrollers with 3d graphics.

With DuckTales coming to WiiU, I would really hope they bring this other Disney side-scroller remake to the system!

That would be fantastic...the sequel is basically the only game I'm sad I can't play since I don't have a PS3, so bring on the 3DS love!

I would buy this on the eshop in a heartbeat, and then upgrade that pixely heart to a 3d one

Quality over Quantity people...this is a good thing, the WiiU needs GOOD games, not poop like this anyway

Yes, the price-reduction at launch makes me even more-likely to buy it immediately, though in my case that may have always been how it went

I'm confused by this...how is this better or different than the Netflix app itself?

I love this news, and this game on my 3DS...though it's hard at times! But in a good way that reminds me of playing NES as a kid. Regardless, I think this is as good of an example as any to show that virtual touch controls suck and will always be inferior to buttons unless the game is designed for a touch screen like Angry Birds or something.

@Deathgaze you think the OS is a joke, it's certainly more-mature than the WiiU OS, and I love my WiiU, but the system software is in dire need of updates for stability and speed, and I've watched the 3DS improve so I'm glad Nintendo is slowly figuring out this software thing

I'll download eshop-only titles, smaller games, VC games, etc, but full-on 20GB+ retail titles seem like a pain, especially if then it's locked to my console and I cannot even lend it to a friend.

aww, I'd have totally played a single-player Maple Story on 3DS...the graphics might look nice if the 3d backgrounds are done well

if the price is right, I'm all about side-scrollers on 3DS

definitely playing more Runner 2 with my wife, swapping the gamepad when either of us gets tired and needs to rest a little...

What about Punch-Out for WiiU VC for 30 Cents, that's what I'm picking up!

No one should care about this at all, the game is total crap apparently...save your money and pickup NFS or Lego City and enjoy that they made it into the launch window at least.

I do love 3d platformers on the 3DS since the screen is perfect for them, but I'm happy he's making it for WiiU regardless

Now the question is, WiiU or 3DS? I kind of think I'd rather have it on 3DS as the layered backgrounds look great with 3D, as does pixel-art. Would love to see how they use the lower screen or equally how they use the WiiU Gamepad screen, or if WiiU version is just mirrored PC version really.

This week I was torn between Lego Undercover and NFS: Most Wanted for WiiU and ended up ordering just NFS through Amazon using points because A: Amazon said there would be a shipping delay for Lego Undercover, and B: I'm glad EA was smart and made the WiiU port from the PC version of the game so it will be superior to other console editions currently available.

Remember when the N64 was DOOMED because it didn't use discs, but instead expensive carts, and had fewer games than PSX? Nintendo went on and on about quality over quantity and somehow N64 managed a fine collection of A+ games without exiting the market after it.

Totally picked up a physical copy, though had to wait a week for Amazon to finally ship it to me...totally worth it for the artwork on the cart (and the great game of course)

So is this version better than the WiiU one? I had waited for an update to the original 3DS release because I wanted to be able to invert axis for controls, but now between WiiU and EX on 3DS, which would be the better version to play??

Good news, people prefer PHYSICAL controls for games...story at 11.

yay, the first time I reached stage 10 my game totally locked up and crashed to the point that I had to hold the power button. The home button did not even respond! So glad they were quick with a patch, will be downloading tonight.

Maybe if their "launch window" games all came out at launch people would have bought more games....as it is, we're still waiting on a number of a-list titles to even come out

would be SO NICE if Konami would pick this up and push it out to the world, would make a great WiiU eshop title, that's for sure

ugh, it was working SO WELL too, esp since the youtube app itself is total garbage, doesn't allow for viewing on the gamepad, and if anything hardly uses the gamepad at all properly

That would be amazing, nothing on XBox Live let's you play online since only the primary controller/user has a Gold account, which is terrible. Also, does it require wiimote pluses?

can you do two players on one console playing online with someone else like Mario Kart allowed for?

Super Princess Peach is one of the most underrated games on DS and my wife's personal favorite. She is continually upset when NSMB doesn't let you play as Peach or anyone else besides the Mario Brother and differently-colored toads. I see no reason why having additional move options or behaviors would hurt the gameplay, especially since you can only play other characters in multiplayer anyway.

I trust Nintendo Life, but do feel that the issue is tough with sites like IGN, who very rarely rat on a game unless it is HORRENDOUSLY awful and then they get to write a funny, negative review. Are review sites ever scared of being really negative because then maybe that developer or publisher won't keep sending free games to you?

my favorite part is that I guess the knitter had to press A to continue so you'd dock the controller into it for that

Mario Kart 7 is a way better game. However, since I did purchase Vector Racing based on graphics-alone, and before I read this review, I'll answer some of your questions. The game DOES need something, I do wish it had weapons of some kind or online multiplayer.

The game is very smooth, and controls use the circle pad and B to accelerate. A and Y brake, though I've never used them really. I feel like they drifted in the demo, but I can't really get drifting to work. Seemingly you can go full speed around most turns, but perhaps at the higher speeds in the higher difficulties you can manage drifting a little.

Arg, why didn't I wait for your review??? I thought this game had online multiplayer, and am very disappointed that it does not. I wish there was a way to refund eshop purchases within a certain time-frame of when you download them!

WiiU level editor using the touch screen would be amazing

I completely agree with them, the stylus aiming is great and I wish StarFox64 3D had an option to use the stylus aiming with independent dodging with the circle pad because after being Kid Icarus: Uprising, I am totally used to the controls and really love them for aiming, it is far more precise and fast than you could do with a right stick, it's more akin to aiming using a mouse, which is to say: great.

This game should be called New Super Mario Brothers 3-D since it is totally the THIRD installment of NSMB since there was the DS one and Wii...AND it's reviving the flying Racoon Mario....Nintendo, quickly, rename it!!

That or if you're an Ambassador, just play WarioWare Inc. long enough to unlock Dr. Wario from within that game

I just wish they'd make more tables like Pinball Pulse, which is my favorite pinball game on my 3ds, using the two screens to show the entire table is way better than squeezing it all onto the top screen

ugh, this is stupid, you can emulate Wii and Gamecube games at 1080p and they look FANTASTIC. Even Virtual Console N64 games are running at about twice the resolution they ran at on the N64 without much trouble. If the WiiU can handle 1080p graphics, or even 720p it would be VERY nice if they could manage to run the games at a higher resolution the same way ever PC game can run at whatever res you set it to. The games are using almost all 3d elements these days and scale up beautifully. This might be enough to make me care even less about the WiiU and just stick with my 3ds

I ran out and bought this game after much deliberation, since TetrisDS is so great, how could this beat it? Well the simple answer is, IT DOESN'T! The Vs. CPU is too easy, I've beaten LVL10 every time, and in Tetris DS Lvl 5 is almost impossible and lvl4 provides a great challenge. The ability to change music/background is nice, but the 3DS cart does not even save your settings, so you have to disable items each and every time. Also it takes too long to load and menus are slow and deep so you have to go through many to get to where you are trying to go. I wish I could return Tetris Axis and plan to just go back to enjoying Tetris DS on my 3DS with it's ability to do 10 players with one cart and play with all DSs and 3DSs.
