I LOVED the Gyakuten Saiban Jazz Album, this seems to be by the same team. So very very awesome.

Sounds like a huge sequel to Namco X Capcom. I always wanted to play that one. I sure hope this one makes it over.

Seems legit.

Kid Icarus Uprising is one of the best handheld games I've ever played and is definitely one of my favorite games of all time, quickly reaching my top five list in the matter of only one weekend. Glad to see it doing well where it counts most.

Anyone who claims ANYTHING was more innovative last year than Skyward Sword loses all credibility in my book.

I just got back from seeing The Artist for the first time and recognized him instantly. Truly a star of a dog! And that's a wonderfully moving film, to boot!

No joke, this is one of the best and most satisfying control schemes I've played in a game in years. It's also one of the longest and deepest downloadable games I've ever played. Haven't been able to put it down since I bought it. Definite 9 from me.

I've never been a fan of achievements. They kind of destroy the immersion when they pop up. And if you have them set not to pop up, there's really little reason to have them there at all.

I sure hope this has something to do with that upcoming Pokemon announcement.

Even if there were a Virtual Console release, I'm sure that the people complaining about lack of Virtual Console would find reason to complain, probably about game choice, or about lack of a 3DSware release or what have you. I've found those people will never be satisfied and will complain about everything, completely ignoring anything good in the weekly Nintendo downloads. Best to shrug them off. More fun to the rest of us.

After playing that demo, I have to say that Revelations feels more like 6 than that trailer looks.

Question about these contests: Do previously registered games count? I'd hate to have to buy two new 3DS games just to be eligible for something like this when it comes stateside.

Really wish it was on the 3DS, but I'm sure it's going to be an incredible must-buy either way.

Introducing the PlayStation Draw and Xbox Kiligraphy

I was thinking about the GBA e-Reader as well. Color me disappointed.

Happy new year, Nintendo Life! Thanks for putting up with all of us!

This had better mean it's got a Wii U release. Otherwise, releasing an "Episode 1" without ever following up with a sequel for one third of the fanbase anticipating it is a really big jerk move.

I got this Christmas Eve and have been playing it for over 10 hours a day since. It's amazingly addictive and wonderfully deep, even more than a game of Monopoly. Mario Party 9 is just wacky luck-based fun to be had in short bursts. Fortune Street is for those of us who are the big time board game fans.

I knew it was a good idea to buy 99 stocks in the 3DS district.

(I gotta stop playing Fortune Street, it's getting in my head)

I got Fortune Street and by gum I'm hooked. It's amazing how addictive this game is, and as a Monopoly fan it's nice and easy to learn. Weird how it never made it over until now.

Merry Christmas! Thanks for an amazing year!

It was my first Mario Kart game. Playing it again today, I had just as much fun as I did way back when it came out.

YES! I've had money on my 3DS for months waiting for this.

I don't know about anyone else, but this new layout seems a little trickier to navigate. Snagged Super Mario Kart, though.

Why does Nintendo keep selling things only at GameStop? I, and many others I know, absolutely despise GameStop. Does Nintendo not want people buying their products?

For a second I thought this was Tilt 'n' Tumble. Color me disappointed.

Hey wait a minute, where's Mighty Switch Force? I've had money on my 3DS for that since it was announced!

Voice acting would ruin it. As it stands right now, because each of us hears the voices in our heads, the characters express more emotion to us than any voice actor could possibly portray. It's similar to if the Phoenix Wright games had voice acting. The characters become more fictional; entities that exist solely for the sake of the story, instead of characters we project into and relate to.

The most memorable moment in Zelda for me has to be in Wind Waker when Tetra, y'know, and then the King of Red Lions, and then the black and white temple, and this is all extremely paraphrased and impossible not to expound upon without spoiling.

That Phantom Hourglass moment was so mindblowing. I had nearly forgotten about it until now.

WELP.
Thank heavens for Mario Kart!

@AtomicWaffles
Amazing to hear! Can't wait to be a member of a Nintendo Life one in addition to a bunch of others when I pick up the game.

Oh, one thing my friends and I wanted to know is: How many people can be in a community?

Are the only characters in the game the ones posted on the official site? I'm super excited for this game but always get bummed seeing characters not make the cut, knowing that every character had its own fanbase, no matter how big or small. I'm looking at you, Waluigi and Dry Bones fans. As much as I wanted Rosalina in, you guys need love, too.

@hamispink I was, yes. But I have since quit.

A pretty cool idea would have been doing the handheld version of Generations as his past handheld outings. You could start with the Game Gear games and go through the Advance games and end with the Rush games.

I really enjoyed Harvest Moon for a while, but once Rune Factory came out, particularly 3, I was hooked on that forever. I definitely still want this because those colors are just a candied delight and I know I'll like it, but Rune Factory 4 has my attention for now.

@James Well boy howdy, I really do learn something new every day. I had not once seen it spelled that way before. Thanks for the tip!

Actually it's a crossover between Mario and Dragon Quest with Monopoly gameplay. And it's really freaking fun, I might add. Had plenty of laughs playing an import of the DS one with friends, even though we couldn't read a lot of it.

I'm not one to nitpick this kind of thing usually, but...

Aging. Aging aging aging. Not ageing. Aging.

I bought both SSFIV3DE and DOAD on their release dates and will definitely be picking this up as well. I never miss a fighting game, and this is looking like the best one to be on a handheld ever.

Kirby's Adventure, one of the best games on the NES comes out, and I STILL see people whining on here about no Virtual Console release.

Nothing will ever please you people.

Nothing.

This article needs to be updated with the confirmation that it's coming stateside. The amount of uninformed bitterness in these comments makes me scowl. More than usual.

I hate all you nay-sayers. Just because every game to be in the virtual console library ever didn't come out doesn't mean it's a bad week. I've heard nothing but good things about FreakyForms. Why don't you guys give new things a shot before badmouthing literally everything?

Truly a beautiful movie, I've seen it numerous times now. I wonder if they'll release it on Blu-Ray. I think I'd hold out for that if it was ever announced.

Man, Maple Treeway is just gonna be weird now.

Educational / fitness games aside, last time they created a genre that really swept me off my feet, it was whatever you would call Pikmin. If it's anything like that again, you can consider me excited.

I imagine the changes will make the possibility of four controller compatibility more likely. The only thing I didn't like about what I saw regarding Wii U aside from the name was how only one controller was used at a time. Hopefully that's changed!
