Looks like I might be throwing my hat in for this contest after all, I just have to pretty this thing up a bit and hope it's up to snuff with the rules...
just want to reiterate what @armoredghor said: "gameplay instead of sight and sound" that's what i've always thought, Nintendo chose to make their niche in making games fun and innovative gameplay and that is very important to me because when it comes to graphics, at best you can reach the uncanny valley and then where do you go from there?
Hey @53, you already said that at the geek site, @52 there's a list of what will come in the box that includes an AC adapter and @44 i really like that avatar, i tried to make that papercraft but i messed it up
I've been a fan of this series since I played the demo for March of the Minis, but I don't own a single iteration yet; I'm hoping to change that soon...
Personally, Metroid: Other M is my Game of the Year and it portrayed Samus as I always envisioned her; tough as nails, yet human...

There'll definitely be one of these events in the US, but it'll most likely take place at the Nintendo World Store in NY, which means I won't be able to attend...
Supposing I could attend, though, I'd love to see the Ocarina of Time remake available for previewing...
Great review, Zach. I'm enjoying the first Scribblenauts, but the controls definitely do leave something to be desired, so I'll probably pick this game up eventually...
One thing I'm sure of is that there's going to be a ton of Snivy's nicknamed "Smugleaf" on the GTS once the game releases over here. Snivy's really the only name I like, but the other two aren't bad, plus I nickname most of my Pokemon, anyway...
I've only completed World 1 (sans the time trials), but I wholeheartedly agree with Corbie's perfect score. This game is phenomenal (and getting a $10 gift card from Target for purchasing it was the icing on the already delicious cake)...
