FINALLY. i was so perplexed by the ability to play on the gamepad but requiring the use of a wiimote and nunchuck to do so or the wonky control stick scheme this makes me BEYOND happy and now i have a reason to replay it!

i tried the demo at gamestop and the game was weird. it reminded me of super circuit in terms of the characters placement on the screen. the way the camera placement was was a little off putting. i also didnt care for the way the gamepad felt while playing but it was locked in a horizontal position where i tend to play games with the controller in a vertical position. i think im going to hav to pick up a wii u pro for this since smash is out in winter.

nintendo is far too mixed in their way of presenting the gamepad. i for one love it and the myriad controllers. sometimes i like to play soley on the gamepad, even in wii mode, and i love being able to switch over to a wiimote/nunchuck or pro/pro u when needed. my biggest complaint is nintendo seems to be oblivious to the obvious. why not 5 player mario kart with the gamepad serving as a screen or even 1 player using full tv and 1 on gamepad? if the system itself isnt capable of this then the system wasnt thought out fully from the get go and nintendo jumped the shark. theres potential in the pad and i have yet to witness a better use of it then zombi u which launched 2 years ago!

i do wish we would have gotten beautiful sprite work for the handheld smash but i understand how difficult it would hav been to impliment. o well.

they simply need games. we havent heard of anything coming after mk8 for wii u other then vague 2014 placeholders. its hard to recommend the wii u when it essentially serves as a $300 emulator of overpeiced NES games. at least release a game that makes full use of the gamepad that doesnt feel like an overinflated tech demo. i love the wii u but its severely lacking in variety when it comes to software other then halfbaked ports and sporadic mario titles. unless nintendo is going to surprise us at e3 with near releases of some major titles i am expecting another drought in the summer and if that is the case it will be the nail in the coffin of my 20 year plus relationship with nintendo home consoles.

3ds U please! a 3ds with wii u gamepad compatability, and dual circle pads. id love it but it would add to nintendos confusion among the shoppers. 3ds, 3dsxl, 2ds and 3dsU. perfect.

@NickieBoy i got in trouble with nintendo for trying to give away my pokemon y code when i upgraded to 3dsxl. being this is also a club nintendo promotion im assuming itll have similar rules in place. i already had pokemon x digital on my 3ds and when i transfered it over to the xl i didnt see the need to own y as a digital on the same machine. the person i gav it to wasnt able to download as his 3ds was tied to his own club nintendo. use caution is as my own experience with these nintendo promotions indicated to me that these free codes are not technically ours and therefore we cant giv it away.

this happened like 3 weeks ago.

figures i own the NA selection. was hoping game & wario would make the cut. but this is my own fault for day one-ing everything. and to whoever asked about selling the download code you cant as its tied to the console of your club nintendo account.

sounds about right considering we are most likely looking at another drought following mk8's release for the wii u. advertise the poo out of the only game we have coming till "winter 2014" >_<

i actually prefer gamestop for used game purchases. unlike best buy, gamestop actually guarantees their used games. i purchased metroid other m used from best buy 2 years ago, i returned an hour after purchase because the disc didnt work which happens sometimes when they clean the disc for redistribution. not only was i met with hostility at best buy, being told i was in violation of licensing laws or some nonsense and that there was nothing they could do for me so i spoke with several managers and even best buy on social media and finally after 3 months was told i would be sent another used copy. that was 2 years ago and im still waiting. every now and then ill run into the district manager at wawa and he never makes eye contact with me. i dont consider myself the greatest best buy customer but as someone who spents thousands every year there for a almost a decade its foolish they lost a customer over a 10$ faulty used game.

where as at gamestop i can return the game within a week for store credit, easy replacement or whatever with little to no hassle.

also i love other m. dont hate. lol

depends on what the importance of marriage is in the game. i know that sounds stupid but if it plays a large role it would cause a disconnect for myself. considering these types of games rely on the avatar being "you" i'd rather stick with animal crossing. if marriage is a minor role then i may pick this up but i'm currently playing thru several titles i missed out on last year including dream team and wonderful 101 and kirby and mario kart 8 are due soon.

I find the graphicsto be breathtaking with the 3d on. While they do basically limit to forground background its definately more then 2 layers as various background elements have various depths as well. Even the smudges that filter over most of the environments and characters gives off a neat layering effect. This game is absolutely ugly everywhere else but is beautiful on the 3ds. I also love the unexpected color pallets used and the combinations of assests are visually striking. Granted the bosses are weak odd and some innapropriately shaped, big beanie! And its definately not the masterpiece the original is imo. Beware the Boo Brigade! >_<

@ThomasBW84 not sure if anyone mentioned it but nintendolife is featured over the super mario world tile on the US eshop home page calling it "one of the greatest games ever created."

While Nintendo isnt doing the Wii U any favors, theyve completely lost a customer in their next console. Drought after drought. I bought the Wii U to play games. And I use it mainly for youtube. I will no longer purchase another Nintendo console until well into its lifespan so Ill have a decent selection of titles to play. My wallet is literally begging to spend on something other then another 2dpost platformer or lego title lol

i liked it but i agree with everyone else who is wondering why we'll have ANOTHER wii u draught on our hands. i'm passing on dk. so from nov of 2013 to may of 2014 i have no new content to play on the console. aside from a gba vc release or 2 and nes remix 2. i thought they would touch on discounts or whatever they referred to for their loyal fans. as someone whos filled up their 3ds's 16gb sd card and a nice chunk of my 500gb external harddrive for wii u i was interested to know whats what. ppl may not be flocking to the wii u but i love the machine and my wallet is BEGGING to be opened!

<3 sweet

I expect something that will be released btwn dk and mk on wii u or ill be furious. Im platformed out and if i had to slog thru another 2dday platformer i rather have kirby on 3ds then the new dk on wii u.

I love lost worlds and im a little saddened that boom wont be expanding on the tubular level design. The wii u vers was fantastic, i only played the 3ds demo and didnt care for that vers, but the story and the sinister six were lackluster. The biggest downfall with lost worlds for me were the shoehorning of the wisp power ups and some of the onrails 2d stages later in the game requiring perfect timing tho they remedied that with the 100 rings equate a 1up patch.

How do you obtain celebi? There was none in the bank or on my x file.
Nvm took the nonlazy approach and figured it out.

By far my fav vers of SMB and if it comes to US ill def get even tho i have ambassador smb for nes on my 3ds. The smaller field of view never bothered me, the ability to scroll the screen gave an adventure/slower pace to the game. And this is by far my favorite speed run version of the game if you just charge straight ahead thru all levels blindly jumping at points.

@paburrows its a much better service now as more shows are supported as opposed to the first 8 months of the wii us launch but its still not a defining feature that people should feel left out of for not having. Youd actually be better off just schedulibg with other mii users to comment on a specific miiverse post then wasting your time with this app.

Its not that great if a service actually. During the course of a program you're not given a chatroom for an overall episode. You're able to comment on chapters as an episode plays but these are very laggy and don't seem to be synched with the episode. Ive used it twice and the first time i attemptedthe episode i was watching lacked a tviitag and the app was useless. Its a great concept but its poorly executed. Im not a sports guy tho so i cant comment on that.

I always found it ironic that these christian based games were unlicensed and therefore stealing from nintendo. Good morals for children there.

Not that i should admit this but i met someone on draw something while randomly paired and we ended up dating for a year. And i mean real world dating too. They ended up leaving me to move to deadhorse alaska for work and i wouldnt uproot my life on the east coast for them. True story. Lol

@SirQuincealot i loved this aspect. Adds a tad adventure feel to the game by forcing you to stop and check your surroundings and makes it more difficult!

By far my favorite version of SMB and while I havr the NES oroginal due to ambassador status, this is a day one if it makes it to the states!!!

Am i the only one who sees the irony in the complainer's surname?

I wasn't expecting much but it was a missed opportunity for sure. Donkey Kong doesnt scream that awesomeness that is the gamepad which is whats lacking in Nintendo adverts as of now..

Honestly i hope the wii u doesnt sell too well and more third parties abandon ship. I love when Nintendo takes the reigs entirely and fills those genres that other parties left behind. The gamecube had my second favorite software lineup, next to dreamcast, because nintendo was super experimental and delivered on the goods. If the wii u fails to sell another single console it wont be the end of nintendo so it wouldn't matter anyway.

Perhaps the planet itself will spin? Also could gravity mechanic be in the sonic lost world level as well? There was something to the stage that they said theyd reveal at a later date?

Ive never encountered a shiny and ive played every gen with a combined 1000+ hours of playtime. I hav a masterball in X that I will save till the faithful encounter.

I so want a fire grass pokemon. Gourgeist was a missed opp. But a fire water will suffice.

One of my fav pinball titles. I never cared for the zens series. But id rather hav this on 3ds.

Im sort of hoping for an hd zelda game that resembles the original legend of zelda official art. Toon shaded and long orange haired green and brown wearing link!

Venusaur is a beast!

If every entry in mario or metroid or zelda was cookie cutter then id be screaming for new ip. However most games are fundamentally different in the way the player approaches the game so long live existing ip! I wished however they did a larger scale new ip. I liked dillon. Loved pushmo. Eh for sakurai. KI:U if youd count it was awesome. Never played harmoknights.

Also in amie if you pet arorus' ice patches your hand freezes.

Personally I enjoy the fact that as a gaymer there are little tidbits here and there that speak to my community. "I want to work for a handsome manager!" Sometimes its nice to be included.

i think the Zelda universe just needs to branch out. theres enough characters and interesting lore to support other genres. id like a sequel, at least in terms of gameplay, to adventure of link. or perhaps a turn based rpg. or a game starring and detailing ganondorfs upbringing in the gerudo desert and eventual corruption leading into OoT. Or even those DS tingle games. I thought this was going to be the case after crossbow training...

I wasnt pleased with legends delay. Multiplatform never bothered me but i already had my fall lineupp planned. Ubisofts lost sale went to capcom and their stelllar mh3u release. Maybe in january ill pick it up but if its cheaper secondhand ubisoft still wont technically get the sale. Its a shame because legends was the reason i day oned my wii u.

Gamebreaking bug reported with saving in lumiose city. Anyone heard? I downloaded and it didnt effect me on X.

I actually enjoy urban championship. Hav it as a 3d "classic"

@DiSTANToblivion hopefull they improve her standard attacks. Shes too weak.

Does this mean I can cut thrown pikmin in half?

I want the keychain pokemon as a keychain for my keys. Merchandise opportunity!

Its a nice gesture... but it wont convince me of purchasing any two tribes' titles in the future. I dont game on a pc. So their solution doesn't suit me at all and yes I only purchased the title for the level editor because I'm a sucker for games that allow you to create.

The only designs im not keen on are some of the evolutions introduced in gen IV for tangela. Nobopass and lickylicky being my least favorite. And luvdisc.

the small pool of new pokemon shouldn't be a surprise as when the game was announced GF mentioned they were only expecting to produce 50 new pokemon this generation... has the short term memory of the internet taken effect? also, with over 650, I won't spoil the final count, pokemon running around... the series is not lacking in diversity.

@CanisWolfred i dont use the forums here. Im referring to google yahoo search. If this is your first time exploring the internet then the lesson learned is stay out of forums the week leading up to a games release

To be fair you had to specifically look for the leaks to find them. If the game was spoiled for you then you shouldnt have been searching for the leaks. I spoiled the game for myself and im excited. Cannot wait..

The original mario os a must play. The first level is brilliant in how it teaches the player the ropes of what to expect without the literal tutorial everyone depends on now.
