The opening paragraph seems to reveal a lot about what's in the review to come. I saw, "has a lot against it" and thought, "Wow! This probably got a pretty high score!"
Yes! I love the Giana Sisters! I'm a huge fan of not only the original games but also the fan sequel that's floating around. It's not quite as fast paced as Mario but it can still be a blast to play.

What in the world...?
Re: This Zelda GameCube Controller is Awesome in an Ugly Way

/me drools
Come on, people. Is there no limit on the awesomenessity of Cave Story in full 3D? Me thinks so.
Re: Exclusive: First Bobby Carrot Forever WiiWare Screenshots
Interesting choice in name, though the game looks like fun. Unfortunately, I'm terrible at Adventures of Lolo.
Re: Podcast: NLFM Episode 16: Adventurous Adventures
I loves the references to Portal.

Man, when will WiiWare pick itself up from the ashes?

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns Sells Over 4 Million in a Month

Really?
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Kirby Platformer for Wii in 2011
I'm glad he's back to his ability-vacuuming self. Or not?
Re: What Do You Make of This 3DS Prototype?
I actually like the whole swapping idea. The position of the d-pad now seems like it will be a little uncomfortable to use.
Re: Mario Sports Mix Giveaway!
I hope I win, though it'll probably be one of those completely new registers. D:
Re: Twisting and Matching 3D Objects Comes to DSiWare
Will you pick this up? Erm, probably not.
Re: The 3DS eShop and Browser Will Be Ready on Launch Day
This sounds good, although I guess I'm not sure what was wrong with Wii Points, especially since it was point per cent.
Re: Hudson Announces 3DS Line-up
How many variants of Bomberman can there possibly be? D:

Hilarious review as always, CB. I loved the bit about the favorite glitch.

Robo-goose will love you.
Re: Review: Puzzle Expedition (DS)
Nice review, Zach. This looks like my kind of game, though maybe I'll rent it first.
Re: Limited Edition Pokemon Black and White DSis to Hit Europe
The art seems to show up on the Black DSi better, which would be weird, but I guess it might just be the picture.
Re: Iwata: Making Consoles is Like Buying Sushi, and Other Insights
Does it involve chopping up raw fish?
Re: Look Out Fireplacing, You've Got Competition
Does CB enjoy reviewing terrible games or does the rest of the staff enjoy tormenting CB?
Re: MUDDS Won't Be Making a Splash on DSiWare After All
Woof woof. (Sniff. This looks like it would of been a lot of fun. And I'm glad this is only the second of two "disappointment" tags.)
Re: Big Blue Bubble Bursting Onto the 3DS Scene with Two Upcoming Titles
Woof woof. (This place is chock full of original ideas.)
Re: Giana Sisters DS Gets ESRB Rated
Yes! I love the Giana Sisters! I'm a huge fan of not only the original games but also the fan sequel that's floating around. It's not quite as fast paced as Mario but it can still be a blast to play.
Re: Podcast: NLFM Episode 12: Ch-ch-changes
I went to go post this on Facebook and the first thumbnail that it selected was irken's avatar.
EDIT: Metronomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom...nom?
Re: Happy New Year from Nintendo Life!
Woof woof! (Happy New Year!)

Hopefully this doesn't turn out like SMB.
Re: WiiWare Super Meat Boy Gets Canned
I was definitely going to get this, too. Oh well.
Re: Night of the Sacrifice Will Get Hearts Pumping and Feet Walking
I never did like horror games, and the balance board idea sounds a little tacky. Nice caption on the picture, though.
Re: There May Never Be Another Smash Bros. as Hardcore as Melee
I always did enjoy Melee better than Brawl, for whatever reason.
Re: This Safe Sex Video Owes a Surprising Amount to Mario and Mega Man
That was... interesting.

"So are there any Wii games you'd like for Christmas?"
"No, I own them all..."
Re: Podcast: NLFM Episode 10: Fear Your Tears
The Butter Building music brings back amazing memories... I've gotta get this game, or at least rent it. It sounds like a lot of fun.
Re: WiiWare Demos Launch This Week with Four New Downloads
I was like, "Jett Rocket! Cool!.... Europe. Oh."
Re: Review: Silent Hill Play Novel (Game Boy Advance)
That expression in the banner is bad enough.
Re: Features: Bizarre Emails Sent to Nintendo Life - Volume 2
@18 They should have that on a big banner running up the side of the site, or at least on the contact page.
Re: Here's 10 Minutes of Retro City Rampage Gameplay and Music
STAGE 1: "A TRUCK ARE BEGIN TO MOVE."
Somehow I didn't catch that the first time.
Re: Grab a Blue Classic Controller with Sonic Colours Down Under
@9 I feel the same way about the Classic Controller. Besides, my hands are small.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - November 2010
I played Mario Party 2 on the N64 just two days ago. It's still great fun.
Re: Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary
AWESOME!!!!!
Re: We Celebrate 25 Years of NES
I am I the only person who would've been extremely creeped out by that commercial, had I been around when it aired?
"You can not beat us. You can not beat us. You can not beat us. You can not beat us. You can not..."
Re: Wii Party Leads Nintendo Chart Climb
@lex0plex I do the same thing all the time. It kind of annoys me that they never know what I'm talking about.
