Downloaded it before the trip I'm currently on this weekend and have had a hard time putting it down. Never played it back when it came out, so this is my first time, and it's really really enjoyable and full of simple charm. This game does its own thing and really set the stage well for pinball games to come, like Pokemon Pinball and the like. It's easy to pick up and hard to put down; the perfect style for a portable downloadable game.
Pffff, hahahaha. Hell no. I can get Devil May Cry HD collection or Zone of the Enders HD collection, two sets full of lengthy REAL games, for just $10 more. I pity those tricked into purchasing this.
Gotta love the early doubters and naysayers. I'm really curious to see if all the different video game characters will appear in this. It was probably already a licensing nightmare for the film, but for a game I'd imagine that'd be even more challenging!
Wonderful to see Emmy return. The voice casting for young Layton was wonderful! If it's just the same guy but higher, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. This game is going to be a real treat.
I find it a little unfair to rate a game with the game's price being a factor. I mean, unless the game was selling itself like that, like those HD collections or the Orange Box or anything similar. Everything else about this review is fair and agreeable, but the price could have been left out of it. It's all fair though, and this was as well written a review as always. Still one of my favorite games to play every now and then!
It still looks pretty darn close to the first DS game, which is very concerning. I'll probably wait to hear impressions from friends first, but I'm sure it will still be fun all the same. Likely a bargain bin title for me!
I really like to see flying return. I've missed it. Kind of wish it was the cape though, but hey whatever!
Ack, so far away! And so close to what I'd potentially estimate the Wii U release date to be! I'd better just set aside the money for this now and forget about it.
I gotta say, after watching the brief demonstration from the Developer Discussion, I found it to be presented much better there than on stage for the press conference. It actually really made me want to try it, and the music especially was just wonderful. This might just be all that Nintendo's hyping it up to be yet!
Pff, what? Heck no. I've never even heard this idea come up before. If anything it would alienate more people because of necessity to play in sequence. Don't fix what isn't broken.
I'm skeptical. I don't like the +control pad and face buttons being moved closer to the center, and I much prefer circle pads after getting used to them on the 3DS.
@Alucard Oh, the art prints aren't official, just a high res scan of the collection soundtrack cover art printed as a poster, and also another for use on my arcade fightstick.
I picked this up when it came out on impulse after seeing the colorful screenshots and I was not disappointed. Easily one of my favorite games already, to the point that I've ordered art prints and figures of the characters. Super great game.
I'd absolutely love Lego models of all my favorite Zelda places, primarily the Temple of Time or even the castle in Link to the Past. Seems most people here don't get the novelty of that and instead think that this article is about making a Lego Zelda video game. Gotta love how the majority of these comments are from folks who didn't even bother reading a single line of the article. It's a shame what comment sections have become.
The original felt like a spiritual successor to Diddy Kong Racing (my favorite kart racer ever). With the addition of air and sea vehicles, this is like a true sequel to Diddy Kong Racing. Can't wait. Will probably get it for Wii U.

Re: Wreck-It Ralph is in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
I'd love to see Ralph in more games. Very spiffy.

In short, I disagree.
Re: How to Transfer Your Data from 3DS to 3DS XL
Will all my Swapnotes and Pushmo puzzles and Dead or Alive DLC and Kid Icarus weapon gems and all those sorts of things be transferred?
Re: Angry Birds Trilogy to Cost $29.99
Pffff, hahahaha. Hell no. I can get Devil May Cry HD collection or Zone of the Enders HD collection, two sets full of lengthy REAL games, for just $10 more. I pity those tricked into purchasing this.
Re: Pink and Blue 3DS Consoles to Hit Taiwan and Hong Kong
That blue is stunning and would go much better with a Slime sticker than mine currently does! Would love to see that as an XL.
Re: Letter Box Update Adds Coloured Ink
Can't wait for this to hit the US!
Re: Review: Marvel Pinball 3D (3DS eShop)
Played the heck out of the Fantastic Four table on the XBLA version. Will probably snag this if it ever goes on sale!
Re: 3DS XL Comparision Gallery
I'll get my hands on one when Black Friday swings around. Hopefully the white one comes to America by then!
Re: Game of the Month: June 2012 - Pokémon Conquest
Absolutely loving this game. It's ridiculously hard to put down.
Re: Marvel Pinball 3D
That Fantastic Four table is my absolute favorite one on the Xbox Live Arcade version of this game. Might be worth a second purchase for that alone!
Re: Pokémon Conquest Reaches Europe on 27th July
My copy just arrived today and I'm really enjoying it. Very fun spinoff series that I hope will continue past just this one game.

Re: Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask Teaser Trailer
Wonderful to see Emmy return. The voice casting for young Layton was wonderful! If it's just the same guy but higher, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. This game is going to be a real treat.
Re: Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U Powers Up with Namco
Namco is the perfect company for this.
Re: Castlevania: Mirror of Fate "Definitely Not Metroidvania"
Welp, I'm out. Talk about not knowing your audience.
Re: Bomb Monkey Gets Explosive New Site
Heartwarming to finally see a book style 3DS game. They were some of my favorites on the DS.

Re: Let Camelot Know If You Want Another Golden Sun
I wish they were around to hear our voices clamoring for a new Mario Tennis RPG in Mario Tennis Open! Selective hearing, I guess.
Re: Preview: Wii U Hands-On
I wasn't aware the triggers were analogue. All the pictures I've seen make them look digital. Interesting!
Re: Tomb Raider Not Coming to Wii U
I have a pretty good feeling it will eventually. Maybe just not as soon as the rest of the consoles.
Re: Peter Molyneux 'Not Really Decided' on Wii U GamePad
I sure hope he decides against it. The less of his mediocre overrated games that exist, the better.
Re: E3 2012: Corbie's Photos From the Show - Day Two
Wait, Game & Wario was in motion? Neato! I'd love to see footage of that in action.
Re: Poll: Which Colour Wii U Would You Prefer?
White because I hate wiping off fingerprints.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th June 2012 (North America)
Oh dang! I've always wanted to play The Last Blade. Awesome!
Re: E3 2012: Sports Connection Steps Up to the Plate
Finally, an ad that advertises the ability to play from the toilet! The number one selling point of the Wii U!
Re: E3 2012: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Gets Co-operative
It still looks pretty darn close to the first DS game, which is very concerning. I'll probably wait to hear impressions from friends first, but I'm sure it will still be fun all the same. Likely a bargain bin title for me!
I really like to see flying return. I've missed it. Kind of wish it was the cape though, but hey whatever!
Re: E3 2012: Reggie Confirms Fire Emblem Awakening for America
Yesss. Good ol' Fire Emblem, back in my hands once again.
Re: E3 2012: Epic Mickey 3DS Daubs Shelves 18th November
Ack, so far away! And so close to what I'd potentially estimate the Wii U release date to be! I'd better just set aside the money for this now and forget about it.
Re: E3 2012: Rayman Legends Trailer Looks Glorious in HD
"Wii U's best looking title?"
It's almost as if you've forgotten that Pikmin 3 was shown off yesterday.
Re: Nintendo Nabs Domains for Nintendo Land Minigames
I gotta say, after watching the brief demonstration from the Developer Discussion, I found it to be presented much better there than on stage for the press conference. It actually really made me want to try it, and the music especially was just wonderful. This might just be all that Nintendo's hyping it up to be yet!
Re: E3 2012: Pikmin 3 Sprouts On Wii U
Yay.
No other words can accurately portray my emotions.
Re: Atlus Will Bring Code of Princess to North America
I need to preorder this ASAP! It looks great, and I was really hoping for this localization!
Re: Natsume Stops Teasing, Reveals Harvest Moon: A New Beginning
Dying to hear a release date for both this and Rune Factory 4. I'd better start saving up!
Re: Feature: The Best Moments of E3 2011
I forgot how incredible that stage was. That must have been stupendous live.
Re: Register Mario Tennis Open This Week, Get 250 Bonus Stars
This is a pretty bad sign.
Re: Talking Point: Should Zelda Go Episodic?
Pff, what? Heck no. I've never even heard this idea come up before. If anything it would alienate more people because of necessity to play in sequence. Don't fix what isn't broken.
Re: Rumour: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Heading to Wii U
Des nouvelles intéressantes.
Re: Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed
I'm skeptical. I don't like the +control pad and face buttons being moved closer to the center, and I much prefer circle pads after getting used to them on the 3DS.
Re: Review: Monster World IV (Wii Virtual Console / Mega Drive)
@Alucard Oh, the art prints aren't official, just a high res scan of the collection soundtrack cover art printed as a poster, and also another for use on my arcade fightstick.
The figure is official though! You can buy one HERE: http://bit.ly/JoVy84
Re: Review: Sudoku by Nikoli (3DS eShop)
Is... Is this even in 3D?
Re: Review: Monster World IV (Wii Virtual Console / Mega Drive)
I picked this up when it came out on impulse after seeing the colorful screenshots and I was not disappointed. Easily one of my favorite games already, to the point that I've ordered art prints and figures of the characters. Super great game.
Re: Review: Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Wii Virtual Console / Virtual Console Arcade)
I opted to download Monster World IV and have been absolutely hooked! It's really one of the best Genesis games I've played.

Re: Aqua Blue 3DS Discontinuation Only Affects Japan
All you naysayers wouldn't know a good color if it hit you in the face.
Re: Cloudberry Kingdom Will Be Wii U's Most Difficult Download Game
There's a difference between a good challenge and an unpleasant experience. These developers clearly do not know of that difference.
Re: Gaijin Games Drops Another Hint of Runner 2 on Wii U
There is no subtlety here. I like it.
Re: Sakurai Won't Make a Kid Icarus: Uprising Sequel
I for one think this is a flat out lie. Further emphasized by his over-exaggerated 25 year prediction.
I'll be sure to bring this quote back up when a new Sora developed Kid Icarus sequel comes to light in ten years or less.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th May 2012 (North America)
I'm unfamiliar with the Monster World series, but those screenshots look really interesting. Might have to check those games out.
Re: PEGI Rates Rayman for 3DS Virtual Console
This was one of my first Game Boy Color games. I always liked the soundtrack a great deal.
