I really enjoy Mario Kart 8. I love all the courses! And as for battle mode, I was disappointed with the levels being the ones you race on but now that I've taken the time to play battle mode, it's actually quite a bit of fun and am now glad that Nintendo decided to try something new (again) with battle mode. 9.5/10 is what I'd give it.
I actually laughed at the boomerang test video. I knew that boomerangs came back but it never occurred to me that one of those scientists were going to get hit.
Looks fun, I'll need a review first but I think I may end up getting it anyways considering the fact that I loved the Micro Machine and TNT Racer games.
I was excited for the full game and the DLC but I then found out that the full game is only $30. I'm even more psyched for the game now! May 2nd can't come soon enough!
I'm glad that a North American demo was confirmed. I'm going to be purchasing the game on release day so the demo is going to last me until the 2nd of May.
I can see this very helpful especially to me. Rather than paying the full price of a game on release day, I can slowly pay off the full price a little bit at a time. Since I'm a college student it gets expensive and this is the perfect way for me to buy games. It's just my opinion though.
I am super excited for this! I loved the super smooth animations in A Link Between Worlds and I'll be looking forward to seeing this game in person at 60 fps for the characters.
Aww, I just got a Wii U last month. I would've liked to get a $50 gift card so that I'd be able to get Super Mario 3D World...I'd gladly pay only $10 for that game. Oh well, even without the gift card the Wii U is worth it! I've been wanting to get a Wii U since early last year and I was almost able to afford one too but the Fire Emblem Awakening 3DS Bundle was too tempting. (My original 3DS messed up too so it was the perfect time to get a new 3DS)
Then I had no money for the Wii U anymore because I started college but I got one for my birthday instead and I'm glad! Non Wii U owners, I recommend purchasing one because it's worth it especially with Mario Kart 8 coming out soon.
@Geonjaha True, people could buy a GBA and the game from some source. But having GBA games available on the Wii U is an extra incentive that may convince those tempted on whether a Wii U is worth it or not to get a Wii U. But I do see your side of the theory and I hadn't thought of that. Good point.
$8 is a great price for GBA games. I was expecting them for $10. I'm glad that $2 was reduced from what I had originally thought these games were going to be released for.
Believe it or not, the game I'm looking forward to the most on the Wii U virtual console is Mario Party Advance. Never owned it but I'd like to. I hope this game gets released at some point this year.
I'm looking forward to this game. I lost my cartridge for Advance Wars 1 so I'm going to be purchasing this game so I can relive the good old days with a GBA.
@WesCash I have a theory. What if the reason Nintendo is planning to release GBA and DS games only on Wii U's virtual console is to get people to buy a Wii U? I remember reading an earlier comment saying something along the lines of "Am I going to have to buy a Wii U to play these games?" This might be Nintendo's thought process at the moment. "People who want these virtual console games have to convert over to Wii U as well. I already have a Wii U so looks like I'm buying them for Wii U. I hope they don't take up too much space.
NOTE: This is just a thought of mine, my personal opinion.
I've gotten it and I will say that it's fun and worth the small price tag of $2.99. I'm about 20 puzzles in with somewhere between 20-30 minutes of gameplay so far. And those were just the first 20. I've still got over 80 left! It's really easy to learn the rules. It looked difficult to learn whenever I saw videos of Tappingo but it's fairly easy to learn. I'd recommend this game for those willing to spend about $3.
@accc I agree with you completely. It deserves your score of 8. It could've been more polished.
I'm glad that it's finally coming to Netflix but is there any news of every other season coming? I would like to watch every season so far in order but having every season on Netflix is probably asking for too much.
I'm a digital-only gamer when it comes to the 3DS and PC. When it comes to consoles such as the PS3 and Wii U, it's retail unless if the download is cheaper and if I have the necessary memory on my storage device (hard drive).
I'm curious about something. Does anyone know what happens if a yearly subscription expires and there's currently Pokemon in your online Poke-Bank? Are they permanently lost or are they inaccessible until you renew your subscription?

I wish the Wii U had N64 virtual console. I'd like to get Mario Golf but it's Wii only! I am very sad, I love the Mario Golf games
EDIT: I don't have a classic controller so I can't play it on Wii Mode on the Wii U so it's "no buy with coins" for me.
