I will not buy a game that features a save file that can't be deleted. Won't do it. I don't care WHAT game it is. End of story.

@Link79 - For starters, this is the arcade version of the game. The 3D also makes a huge difference in the look and feel of the game. It's much better as a portable game since you can use it as a game you just pick up and play in quick spurts. That was enough for the bump in score, at least to me.

Mine leaves a mark on the screen every time I close it. But it seems to wipe off, at least for now.

@lzbirdboy - Not the perfect Vita, no way.

Has Nintendo ever had this problematic a launch with a piece of their hardware before? WOW! Not a good way to top off all of the game delays either. Come on Nintendo, get it together.

I think the BIT.TRIP games are among the best on the service myself. And while we've seen some great games on the service, as a whole, it's been rather disappointing.

Something about this game appeals to me. Not sure what it is. Can't wait to give this one a go in September.

I loved the original DQM: Joker so this is a must-buy! Glad to hear it's even better than the original.

And there was a significant difference in visual quality between the Wii and Xbox 360 versions of the game. Far greater than I expected. But if you only have a Wii, it might still be worth your while.

This has nothing to do with deciding not to bring out the game. It has everything to do with tossing the blame back on the fans with a statement like that. Same thing with Nintendo and those three JRPGS. If you don't want to release them, fine, but don't make a to-do about an "announcement" and then just basically tell fans you're not bringing them to North America.

No, it's supposed to be vlog. It's a (v)ideo b(log).

Is Sony going around buying up third-party publishers away from Nintendo.

Great video! Some very interesting development tidbits in there.

I think all of the game publishers need to hold off on releasing games until the 3DS sells better. I mean think of how many consumers you'll reel in with no games coming out. LOL

These spin-off sites spoken of are not as trafficked because: (A) they are relatively new compared to Nintendo Life, (B) two of the sites only cover a single peripheral for a system, not an entire company's worth of systems, and (C) aren't as embedded into the various search engines as Nintendo Life is.

And there's nothing wrong with fans on here being fans of other consoles and systems and having opinions that are for or against Nintendo or these competing consoles - at least not as long as everyone keeps it civil.

We already have a review of the first Game & Watch Collection from Club Nintendo, and I own both so I'll try to do a review of the second release when we get a break in coverage.

@3DSneedsRPGs - We've awarded 32 "1s" between all the various consoles and download services.

SegaLife just doesn't have a good ring to it. How about SegaFusion?

Because it takes a lot of manpower and money to make these sites go and it's much easier to expand slowly rather than take one giant step. We're already giving up the majority of our lives for these sites, you don't want us dead do you? LOL

Well perhaps other media outlets will like it better. Might just be a certain fit for some people. Be interesting to see.

@KaiserGX - I just realized that you're the one who ripped this game apart in the forums and wanted to write up a review of it to save people their points. LOL Well at least you got a handle on the controls. I went back last night and played some more of it with friends and everyone pretty much agreed that it just wasn't very good. But if you enjoy it, you enjoy it. As I said in the review, there will be people who will be able to stick with it and eventually begin to get a feel for it. I guess it all comes down to personal opinion.

I don't mind the tilt controls on stuff like ExciteTruck and Mario Kart, but if you're going to have sensitive tilt controls, you have to balance it out with a bit less drifting and sliding to compensate.

I did towards the end. It was the only way to navigate some of the trickier sharp turns. Otherwise I was flying off the track and getting that super-annoying blinking return to the track. LOL

We all know they're voxels, but since a lot of people who read the reviews don't, I made it a bit more familiar by using pixelated instead.

ExciteTruck and Excitebots were both far better than this one in the controls department. And I even stuck with it for almost 6 hours hoping to get a better grip on the controls and while I found it improved a little bit early on, I quickly reached a point where it just wasn't getting any better. Even pausing the game is a pain, having to press two buttons at the same time.

Can't wait to take this one for another spin. Welcome back Joe!

LOL, sorry about that Thomas. I was thanking James for grabbing the import for me. Awesome review man!

Glad I decided to import it now. Thanks J!

I like this guy. He's a very talented game developer. Of course as popular as the Zelda series is, it would be difficult to let go of it to do something unproven.

Best tagline ever!

Guy was responsible for the 3DO system. Nuff said.

Even having an iPhone, I hardly ever play games on it. I'll stick to my dedicated handheld game systems for gaming on the go.

Less talk, more walk.

After seeing it running on Xbox 360 and PS3, I think I'm going with one of those versions. It was gorgeous!

Please bring Rayman Origins to Playstation Vita. Thanks.

We need Balloon Fight, Ice Climber, and Super Mario Bros.

I raced motocross for 9 years (and have the shattered wrist and collarbone to prove it) and I know what a bike can and can't do. I was mostly speaking about the unrealistic physics and maneuvering of the bike throughout the levels taking some getting used to for people expecting a more realistic experience. And despite having been gaming for well over 32 years and playing thousands upon thousands of games, I can't have played them all.

Wow it seems I've missed some PC games. Well, it was completely unique to me. LOL

As long as it comes on PS3, I'm good.

No actual names were used in the humiliation of these people. Any public use of these emails without the express written consent of Nintendo Life and Nlife Ltd. is strictly prohibited.

If only we could print the X-rated material.

Ordered my Nintendo pins yesterday. For all the money it costs to reach Platinum status, they should be giving away free games.

There is absolutely no reason to not allow players the option of deleting the save data and starting a new game. None.

Nice way to step up and show gamers you're serious about bringing back the "core" gamers you're always talking about Nintendo. Just for that I hope the Playstation Vita kicks the sh*t out of the 3DS.

I'm on this one on day one! Can't WAIT to take this baby for a spin.

Check out One Button Bob. It should be similar to that.

Cannot WAIT to play through both of these!

Day one buy! What a great series this is turning out to be.

No way I'll ever buy a game that doesn't allow you to erase save data.

After creating a portable system with the power of the Vita, there's no doubt in my mind what Sony's plan will be. And with Microsoft losing ground, they know they've got to come up with something outrageous to stay in this thing.
