I have actually never heard of this award. But hey, the man deserves it all!

I agree that Zelda can stand to be a bit shorter, but no "episodes" please.

@WaveBoy Hard mode in the first game IS enabled from the start. The game just keeps it a secret.

@LztheBlehBird Kirby's Adventure hard mode is not REALLY harder. Kirby just has less health.

@All Return to Dreamland is one of my favorite Kirby games, but I unfortunately can't guarantee that those who haven't played it will like it. I'll have to pick up Dream Land 2 when NOA brings it to virtual console. Then I'll have all the classic Kirby platformers!

This sounds like fun, but I don't really get it. Where exactly would people meet? The website just has city names, but cities are big. Is the wireless so powerful that people play multiplayer a mile apart? And what time are the events? All day? I may or may not want to participate, but I certainly can't with my current understanding of the event!

@mattatron Uh, she never mentioned Mega Man Legends 3. I don't think Nigoro would let potential publishers ruin the game anyway.

"Intrinsic Games' long-awaited DSiWare strategy finally reaches Europe." I think this should say North America.

I'll have to wait for the reviews before deciding on any of these.

When are they going to important cities? (meaning, the one I live in)

@HADAA Aww, I was hoping it would be more hardcore.

URBAN CHAMPION? I was expecting Kid Icarus!

Is there any reason why the mascot is a devil?

Those sales don't sound low to me.

Will these cards ever become available to those who don't preorder?

The Hidden is not a high profile title. I never heard it mentioned anywhere besides this website.

@Mickeymac I meant to say it looks smaller in 2D than in 3D.

It looks much smaller.

He is that one guy to make such an ambitious papercraft.

I think I'd rather have the book.

@Betagam7 I know the score's not THAT important, but 2012 virtual console games aren't known to have online either. I would expect no online for this, but the fact that it exists makes it better. The game does seem simple, though.

It sounds like you only took points off because the online is bad. Genesis virtual console games never have online to begin with, so how is this a problem?

I never thought this was possible. I guess they won't rest until everyone's played this series.

@chewytapeworm Apparently, it costs 5.40 pounds.

It sounds like this game is not for everyone. I'm glad it's good, but it baffles me that people could say this makes up for the recent lack of good downloadable games.

Only one good game? This is embarrassing.

When do we get reviews for last week's games?

This is good. I thought Nintendo had forgotten that Zelda could be in 2D.

The WiiU's power is about as important as the wii's. Which is to say I'm fine with any likely result, but everyone else is going to b@#$% about it.

Arc Style: Soccer!! 3D? For a moment I read that as "Art" Style.

Is that so? I'll probably pick it up next week then. Since I've never played Kid Icarus, I might as well start with the best version.

Looks like I missed my chance to get this for free. When can I pay for it?

I thought we didn't know WHY the world would end. The Mayan calendar only goes as far as 2012. My theory is that all the good games coming out this year will lead to the apocalypse. Sorry, Zombie Slayer Diox, you are not responsible.

At least you got to review something better than Pirate's Assault.

This didn't get a 10?

I don't like it when you have to withhold information that could convince people to buy the game.

How does one win a tournament for a game that isn't out yet?

@Retro_on_theGo TBD still doesn't have a human avatar. I wonder what she's hiding?

So would this game get a 0 if such a score were possible? After reading The Seller review, nothing CIRCLE does surprises me.

Free cards? No strings attached? Amazing!
Though 3 isn't very many.

@Mk_II As far as I know, they didn't sign any contract.

Sales of these games would probably go up if people knew ahead of time that they would be removed.

Isn't this only the Japanese reveal? And why doesn't #647, keldeo, get its own nintendolife article?

I will be avoiding this game because I disliked Mario Party 8. I thought that game was too luck based. I know this isn't the same game, but I'm not willing to risk it. How could Hudson have messed up 8 after so many other Mario Parties that I enjoyed? With stupidly random board effects, that's how.

@Ulala Haha, I loved that!

This must suck for whoever shops there. It must reeaally suck.

This certainly was not what I expected.

So is there local multiplayer?

Wow. Nintendo's really trying to cater to casuals like me.

I still don't understand how Adblock prevents revenue. How can you tell if we're looking at the ads or not?

I'm surprised they have waited so long for a reprint. Is there a precedent for this?

I love that image of Miyamoto you guys keep recycling. Hopefully we get Pikmin 3 soon.

Whoah, we can reply to comments now!

Why doesn't pushsquare have a "channels" tab?

@SkywardLink98: That wouldn't really work. You're supposed to start the second game with all your rings from the first game, and Nintendo has no way of knowing which ones you've obtained. Your interactions with the baby also carry over and can't be predicted ahead of time.

I would like an easier way than typing a 234 digit password, though.

Even better, I'd like Capcom to develop a new Zelda game. Nintendo has virtually ignored 2D after the N64, while Capcom has proved their worth with the Oracles of Seasons and Ages and Minish Cap.

You forgot to mention Link's relationship with Zelda in Minish Cap. They were childhood friends, similar to in Skyward Sword.

@Lordlz: Ah, yes, I hated that pattern. I'm a bit surprised it was brought up in the review. I had trouble figuring it out WITH the intended items, so how anyone would correctly guess it is beyond me.

Can you explain what you mean by "you can gain the final item from Seasons' trading sequence another way?"
