Except for how he forces you to make loans even if you say no

@LunaticPandora
It's 'and' because there's no rivalry this time. Donkey Kong and Pauline host the minigames. The story's been cut down to a paragraph in the instruction manual.
My main complaint with this game is they cut the music/sfx listening room where you could listen to all the tracks in the game. All 4 of the previous games had this feature but not this one
(Though it's possible it doesn't show up until you beat the game, which I haven't yet.)

Maboshis arcade was on one of the first videos I saw on the Nintendo Channel. They've taken the video off since then,
I got SMRPG but then realized that I can't use my gamecube controller on my WiiU and I gave away my classic controller to a friend.
Oh well, i'll keep it for later.

This sounds like the credits theme rather than the main theme.

Luigis Mansion multiplayer and Kirby's Adventure.

60 free play coins? I'm confused.
Well anyways, if this means Club Nintendo coins then this will finally put me over platinum status.

Yay for August but WHY DOES EUROPE GET THEIRS IN JULY? At least it's not as bad as MaL:BIS's delay but still.

@rjejr You get a free 3ds xl just for buying the game?

EDIT: (I'm not really upset, I know we get other games earlier than them. It's just this is my favorite video game series ever. I'm so excited.)

Nintendo Channel was one of my favorite channels on tv. Literally (I only get a few stations though)
But it pretty much died soon after Nintendo Week did so whatever,

The slowing down-speeding up feature was available before.

One of my favorites that I found is in Bowsers Inside Story, if you don't save your minions as Bowser when they're trapped in cages, if you come back later as Mario and Luigi you can talk to them for some really funny dialogue.

Aye, since I voted I've decided to buy Runner2

I'M STILL EXUBERANT OVER DREAM TEAM. I wonder if I have enough time to play through the previous trio before summer?
Man and Neopets is having a plot, the gaming world is finally picking up.

If story causes you to be handicapped then roll with it, it's part of the game. I loved the parts in Superstar Saga where the 2 bros got separated for whatever reason and you could only play as one. If that's what he's complaining about then I don't agree.

Best news was Dream Team, which is the best Mario series now that Paper Mario got washed out.

Mario AND donkey kong, looks like they aren't fighting in this one?

YES YES YES YES YES MARIO AND LUIGIG RPG 4 I KNEW IT (Called it on the last post)

Show us Mario and Luigi RPG 4

I do hope the 3d mario for WiiU isn't like 3d land. 3d land didn't have any atmosphere (The level map was bland and wasn't themed) or story. And most of the songs were the same in 3d land.

Mariokart 7 is already out...

Beat it 8 times w/o using warp zones and beat the special worlds too. (Though this was a year or 2 ago)

I heard about this a few weeks ago. A youtube app was supposed to come out for the wii 3 weeks ago and for the 3ds early next year.
They got the wii release date wrong though so I don't know how accurate the 3ds thing is (if its even true)
And sure here's the source http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=188706

So you need a 3ds to win a 3ds?

I thought it looked kind of cool.

There's a japanese one earlier, and rumours of a youtube app.

They just want publicity you know.

I CAN FINALLY GIFT SUPERSTAR SAGA TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!!!
Well no I guess I can't do that exactly but at least I can actually reccomend it to them now that they can actually get it easily.

He's back...

Are those only from internet enabled systems?

My group finished the previous puzzles a month or two ago so this is cool kinda.

Threediots is pretty cool (Watch past the first one). The ending of the 4th one actually made me laugh.
Plus one of the writers is Phea (the one who appeared on Nintendo Week occasionally)
