My only gripe about Super Mario 3D Land from a personal perspective is that it was WAYYYYYYY to easy. But then again, all the Mario games generally are. Wish they'd crank that baby up a few notches.

Well it's received 9s and 10s at almost every outlet I've seen so far, so it appears you're in the minority. I personally wish the game was a bit more challenging, so I wouldn't want to see any checkpoints in the game. But everyone is different, so to each his own. If you don't like something, you don't like it.

I think I'll pick this one up. I enjoyed the PSP release. Great review J.

Nintendo Stream. Make it so Nintendo. Make me some money. LOL

I'll still be getting this 3DS version, but mostly for the 3D effect since the Vita release is likely the one I'll play through first.

Yeah, god forbid we support the developers that are making these great games. How silly of us! LOL

Wouldn't hold my breath on the Renegade Kid making a console game anytime soon. LOL Jools is a huge 3DS fanboy at heart.

I've been waiting months for the Vita release, so I'll be playing it on that system. But I'll definitely be picking this version up to see this baby in 3D. Good stuff all around!

20 regular levels and 20 hard secret levels. Probably take you around 9 hours to perfect the game if you're fairly proficient at platformers. It's not Super Meat Boy hard, but it's getting on up there.

Some people prefer a more straight-ahead platformer as opposed to a puzzle/platformer. And we'll see about Rolling Western.

I'm always right. End of story.

Won't be out in Europe for awhile.

Definitely getting this one. Looks really fun!

When it comes to playing online, if one person uses a glitch or shortcut, I'll use it too. I want to win and if it means using a glitch that others are using, I'll do it without hesitation. But generally I prefer to play a game the way it was intended to be played.

One of my all-time favorite game publishers. Thanks for all you guys did over the years and for all your amazing contributions to the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 systems. It was a hell of a great run!

It's not Super Mario World, but it's right up there with it. Great port too. Awesome review Thomas!

Wow, gaming has passed me by. Not one game in that top list do I own or would I own. Yikes. Might be time for me to pack it in and just stick with my 16-bit rig from here on out.

Would it be possible to put this one 3DS, probably. But given what I've seen of the game, it's much more suited to an HD console like the Xbox 360 and Wii U. I just want it to run smoothly.

@ Lordlz - If the Wii doesn't have enough horsepower to run RUNNER2, how will 3DS do it?

Comparing Wii games to Xbox 360 and PS3 games in true HD isn't even close. Not even in the ballpark of the vicinity of close. After seeing Wii games in HD on the emulator, I sooooo wish Nintendo would put in some type of upscaling.

I could see them re-releasing certain Wii titles as HD versions. Seems silly not to include upscaling.

Wow, will they also include someone to hold your hand and whisper reassuring comments in your ear while you play the game, as well?

I was in first grade in 1977. And she changed all of us who were lefty. Now I am totally right-hand dominant and have been ever since. And very thankful for it.

I will always be thankful to my first grade teacher for switching me from a lefty to a righty. Biggest favor anyone ever did for me.

Always loved this game. I still remember buying it because every store was sold out of Metroid at the time. Turned out to be quite a good game.

Gonna be fun in LA this June. I can't wait to check 'em all out!

Good news indeed. Now I look forward to seeing them keep the marquee titles rolling in 2012. I'd hate to see the system too heavily overshadowed by the upcoming Wii U.

@Linkstrikesback - My money, my choice. End of story.

Until they release Super Meat Boy on either 3DS or Vita, I'm sitting this one out. I need some portable Super Meat Boy goodness.

Happy New Year! Here's to another great year!

Saw this coming a long time ago. No surprise here.

It is? Someone said my name was in the Mighty Switch Force credits also. I guess people like me. Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head.

I'm like Wolf, the game just got far too hyped up to ever live up to it. Camera needed work and the physics could have used a little tweaking too. I'll hold out hope that Epic Mickey 2 fixes these problems, otherwise I'll likely pass on the sequel.

Merry Christmas to you all. You guys are the reason we do what we do here and you all make it very rewarding for us and for that we thank you. Here's to another amazing year at Nintendo Life!

I'll take this version of Tetris over any other. Still love sitting down with this game to this very day.

Mutant Mudds is not a puzzle/platformer. It's all platforming, far more so than Dark Void Zero or Castle of Magic, that's for sure.

Patience Bulb. Mutant Mudds is coming early next year.

Yup, it's a big one!

I always fire up Banjo Kazooie on Christmas Eve and play through the Freezeezy Peak level just for fun.

Probably my least favorite Zelda as well. Fun little game, but nowhere near the caliber of other Zelda titles.

Actually it will be a December 21st review. It's already done.

@Clinker - That's why I went to the horse's mouth. LOL

@Retro_on_theGo - That's why I got you hyped.

No SuperStar Saga makes me a sad panda. But still, a great lineup of games.

I'll be curious to see if they made any improvements in the ground levels.

This game had a lot of potential, but sadly, all of that potential was brutally wasted. I played the one level, and then when I realized I was going to have to drive into the city to play more, I did the only decent thing I could do. I sent it to Phil. LOL Sorry Phil.

Nice to see him sticking with game development, even if it is on smaller projects. Could produce some very interesting experiences.

Best Game Boy game ever! And one of the best platformers ever created.

Pretty good and Shantae don't even belong in the same sentence.

Shantae at #20. Blasphemy.
