In my opinion, people would be less skeptical about Wii U if it didn't have Wii in the name. That way it really does feel fresh and new and won't be misinterpreted as simply working off the success of its predecessor.
I've got it and having one save file is not an issue to me at all. In short, it's an arcade game. How many times do you go to an arcade and beat a high score, only to have someone approach you and say, "Yeah, but you didn't beat it on THIS save file!" Never.
A very, very good game. It's a lot like Yoshi Touch & Go with its stressful arcadeyness. I've been playing it nonstop and loving every second of it. Definitely not for everyone, but if you like arcade games, then go for it, I say! Great review yet again, guys.
I don't get all these comments saying "What's the point?" Have you guys never played a card game like Uno or Snap? It's gonna play like a card game, I'd imagine. Where by chance you draw a card and pit it up against an opponents, not knowing what card either of you picked. Either that, or it could play like a more strategic rock paper scissors game. Come on now, folks. Use some imagination!
It's weird because you can tell the voice actors are the same (or are at least sound alikes) but they still sound slightly off. I know I'm not the only one who has memorized every line of Star Fox 64, so I can't be the only one feeling this way.
Ah well, I probably won't even notice when I'm playing the final product.
The only problem I have is this tiiiiiny black dot that seems to be just under the screen to the very left. It's not visible while playing games, as you have to look from the left of the system, but it's still annoying to me.
How are the shoulder buttons? Do they break after only a few uses like the DS Lite and DSi shoulder buttons? I'm pretty sick of having to blow into them on my DSi. :T
The negative responses to Iwata only prove one thing: Haters gonna hate. Creativity is dead. It's all about the money now. Good thing I can always count on the companies I grew up with to keep on keepin' on, but other than them, it's all about selling simplistic, idiot-proof games, and only in parts which all must be paid for. And then releasing those games over and over and over again.
Eh, I usually just keep my DSi in my pocket. To prevent scratches to that beautiful, shiny 3DS exterior however, I ordered one of those carrying pouches from Club Nintendo, and will be sticking my system in that and then into my pocket. I'm sure that'll do the trick just fine.
I'm so glad I had 1540 coins saved. Super stoked. Also, I have enough for the pouch still. I wonder if I should get it... I do need something to carry my 3DS in when it comes out, so maybe...
Sounds great. I desperately need a new video game TV show featuring a character from the past. Hopefully the animation is wacky like an old Mickey Mouse cartoon!

Re: GameCube to See New Downloadable Life on Wii U
I own a physical copy of every GameCube game I'd ever want. I'll just keep my Wii hooked up to play those.
Re: Pachter Thinks Nintendo has Superior First-Party Software
I don't care what Pachter has to say, good or bad. I just want him to shut up.
Re: Get Up Close and Personal with Your Lover in Rune Factory 4
I'm so ready for this. The third one was amazing.
Re: Antipole
So it's basically VVVVVV, but you play as a Carmen Sandiego / Dante type character? Neat.
Re: Review: Donkey Konga (GameCube)
Loved this game to death. The second one was neat too, despite it having less video gamey songs.
I really hope a third installment happens eventually. I played this one more than I can even remember.
Re: Irrational Has No Plans for Wii U Games Yet
Ridiculous. I'd get BioShock Infinite on Wii U. Imagine looking around the environment for tears? Come on now.
Re: Let's Get Ready to Super Pokemon Rumble on 3DS
I loved the WiiWare one. Hope this is as good.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th July (North America)
I get the feeling I'll be counting down Mighty Switch Force for as long as I was counting down Shantae.
Re: Mixed Wii U Reaction and Share Dip Doesn't Faze Iwata
In my opinion, people would be less skeptical about Wii U if it didn't have Wii in the name. That way it really does feel fresh and new and won't be misinterpreted as simply working off the success of its predecessor.
Re: Naka and Iizuka Drop Hints at Third NiGHTS Game
My wallet is ready. I hope this is Wii U.
Re: Square Enix's Final Fantasy 3DS Game is a Little Off-Beat
This sounds amazing. So I'm imagining something like either Taiko Drum Master or Rhythm Heaven. Either way, I'm excited to play it.
Re: Operation Rainfall Responds to Nintendo's "Never Say Never"
Ever since the teaser site was released, I've been dying to play Pandora's Tower. I hope we can all make it a reality!
Re: Talking Point: The Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D Save File Debate

Re: Rumour: SEGA Preparing a Third Sonic Storybook Game
But... Colors and Generations are so terrific... W-why? Why!?
Re: Review: Diddy Kong Racing (Nintendo 64)
This, to me, is the greatest kart racing game of all time.

Re: Wii U "A Better Fit" for Valve's Development Model
Ohhhh jeez. Can't wait to buy games so I can get hats for my Miis. And keys for crate drops in Smash Bros.
Re: Star Fox 64 3D Lands in North America on 11th September
It's weird because you can tell the voice actors are the same (or are at least sound alikes) but they still sound slightly off. I know I'm not the only one who has memorized every line of Star Fox 64, so I can't be the only one feeling this way.

Re: Even Mercenaries Need a Fresh Change of Clothes
RE3 Jill? Damn you Capcom, now I have to support this game.
I was already going to, but still.
Re: Rumour: Rare Looking Into 3DS Development
Rare sure does a great job of painting themselves as opportunists.
Re: BestBuy Lists $20 3DS Cash Card for the eShop's eWallet
I wonder how much movies will cost...
Re: Another Zelda Remake for 3DS?
My wallet is ready.
Re: Fils-Aime: Next Home Console Unlikely to be 3D
Wii with a hard drive is all I really need.
Re: Nintendo Responds to 3DS Black Screen Error
The only problem I have is this tiiiiiny black dot that seems to be just under the screen to the very left. It's not visible while playing games, as you have to look from the left of the system, but it's still annoying to me.
Re: Nintendo Responds to 3DS Black Screen Error
It hasn't happened to me thus far. I sure hope it doesn't in the future.
Re: Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker Both on Mercenary Duties
And yet again, the inferior version of Jill. Feels bad.
Re: Bomberman and Bonk Cancelled for 3DS
This is the most depressing thing I've heard regarding the 3DS so far. Bomberman was my most anticipated game...
Re: 3DS eShop's May Launch to Ensure it Beats Wii and DS Shops
Is the eShop where they'll be selling movies? Because I sure do want some movies.
Re: Get Your Monkey Race On with this Super Monkey Ball 3D Trailer
Monkey Race was much better when the physics were ridiculous and they were actually in balls instead of in balls driving cars.
And where's Monkey Target? Come on, Sega.
Re: Win a Signed Copy of Monster Tale and Soundtrack (North America)
Oh gosh, I was really looking forward to this game.
Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball 3D (3DS)
Are there unskippable credits after every few levels? And do you have the ability to jump?
Both of these things ruined Monkey Ball for me with Banana Blitz and Touch & Roll.
Re: Street Gangs Return in River City Ransom 2
River City Ransom HD Remix sounds like my definition of the perfect game.
Re: Hands On: Nintendo 3DS
How are the shoulder buttons? Do they break after only a few uses like the DS Lite and DSi shoulder buttons? I'm pretty sick of having to blow into them on my DSi. :T
Re: Features: The Game Gear Games We Need on 3DS Virtual Console
Sonic Triple Trouble was always my favorite, along with Columns.
Re: Scratch That, There's Three Adventure Island Games Coming to Virtual Console
I told you about Adventure Island bro! I warned you dog!
It keeps happening!
Re: Iwata Hits Out at Smartphone and Social Network Game Developers
The negative responses to Iwata only prove one thing:
Haters gonna hate.
Creativity is dead. It's all about the money now.

Re: Hands-On: Hori 3DS Compact Pouch
Eh, I usually just keep my DSi in my pocket. To prevent scratches to that beautiful, shiny 3DS exterior however, I ordered one of those carrying pouches from Club Nintendo, and will be sticking my system in that and then into my pocket. I'm sure that'll do the trick just fine.
Re: 3DS Arrives at Nintendo Life
Having the 3DS banner on the right side of the box instead of the left looks so weird.
Re: Netflix Heading to 3DS in Summer 2011
I'm just looking forward to full, purchased, downloadable movies. I can't wait to have 3D Tangled in my pocket at all times.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 Likely to have a Bigger Budget
All I ask is that the jumping and momentum physics are fixed. Aside from that, I had a blast with Sonic 4 E1.
Re: Pokemon DSi Consoles Emerge from Long North American Grass
This is probably the worst marketing move ever.
Re: Club Nintendo NA has a Ball with New Prizes
I'm so glad I had 1540 coins saved. Super stoked.
Also, I have enough for the pouch still. I wonder if I should get it... I do need something to carry my 3DS in when it comes out, so maybe...
Re: 3DS Contains Two Tiny StreetPass Minigames
Any word on how much battery life is consumed by listening to music with the 3DS closed and headphones plugged in?
Re: Mario Sports Mix Giveaway!
Very exciting! I'm really looking forward to this title but don't have aaaany money, so this would be a real treat to win.
Re: The 3DS eShop and Browser Will Be Ready on Launch Day
I'm wondering if this is how you buy movies, too. I for one want Tangled on launch day.
Re: Konami to Take Over Hudson in April
I sure hope the Hudson name doesn't die... I can't imagine turning on a Bomberman and seeing any other start up logo. Just the thought pains me ;_;
Re: Rayman 3D Details Revealed
Nope. I'll pass on owning 3 copies of the same game.
Re: Pac-Man Returns to Our TV Screens Via Unscripted Series
Sounds great. I desperately need a new video game TV show featuring a character from the past. Hopefully the animation is wacky like an old Mickey Mouse cartoon!
Re: So This is What a Naked 3DS Looks Like
What I'd really like to see is just a basic visual explanation for how the two screens work. Words do nothing for me, I gotta SEE how it works.
