I was going to get this regardless of reviews, it looked like a silly fun arcade style tank game. I'll still end up getting it eventually if it goes on sale, my 3DS backlog is way too overloaded ATM.
I've never played an AC game, so this would be one way for N to get me to try it out. I'm not sure how the game works; I'd guess you'd get to play a basic version of the game and then if you like it, you could buy extra areas and special items.
Just be thankful that they aren't looking to the subscription model for N games (I really don't want to rent a game for a month/year at a time).
Even if most of them turn out to be cheap $2-3 tablet/smartphone type games, that means there will be hundreds of different eshop downloads to choose from. It's all about the games, right?
If the 'relay' is just a Nintendo-zone, Nintendo might hold/exchange miis on their servers and distribute them via wifi. For example: if I "leave" my mii at a hotspot and someone streetpasses it, I would get their mii from my home wifi from the Nintendo server.
Any update that doesn't brick the system is always welcome
I had a problem with WaraWara Plaza a few days ago, it showed default Mii comments and tiles (while I was connected to the internet). It fixed itself since then, but that seemed like a stability issue to me.
Sounds like a neat little experiment. I want to try this out sometime. I'm curious about the save data linking with the Guild01 games and what kind of extra story there is with/from them.
I really like Flipper and Ace Mathician, thanks for making fun games Hugo! I'm hoping to see (an enhanced) Flipper2 come to 3DSware, I think it would do well there.
The XL battery life is not the greatest, but not $100 replacement bad. Is there an option that gives a modest boost to mAh and still fits in the XL the same as the stock battery?
These Guild selections are perfect as eShop downloads. My XL has Liberation Maiden & Crimson Shroud and launch 3DS has Aero Porter, so these Guild02 releases will be welcomed in my household. This title in particular intrigues me.
If Nintendo was issued a ™ for WaraWara, I'd have to guess the issuer is at fault. If it really were infringement, then it shouldn't have been trademarkable to them in the first place. I can understand Mr. Restaurant wanting to defend his ™; because if you don't try to defend it, you may lose it.
It's funny that they name the PS4 specifically (it isn't even out yet) but the Wii U (the only 'next gen' on the market) is an unnamed next-gen systems possibility.
I like SpeedX. I do wish it had better/more music options (I really like Kaze_Memaryu's idea of using your own music ) and a deeper draw distance (or a way to hide how short it is), it's just not far enough most of the time.
@klautrec I love your idea of making children have to pass a course of classic games to graduate to modern games, it's brilliant! XD Plus there is added benefit of knowing that most of the classics are appropriate for younger players.
edit: I'm a sucker for a sale 25% off is nice.
I only ran a couple quick races, but it is fun to rip around the track and pull big air tricks!
I downloaded this because I don't have any 3DS sports games (and I like RK).
If this is the same game I saw a gameplay video here on NL today, then yay
I have enjoyed a lot of the indie games I've played, so I'm all for more to fill up the eShop with variety.
I wish I would have known about this before I DLed Unchained Blades at it's launch! >.< (ok, I take that back; UB is pretty cool) Nice review, the game sounds great

Re: Another 3DS System Update Goes Live
I got all excited, thinking "ooh, new miiplaza content is here" and then realizing that an update as small as this is wasn't going to be adding it.
Re: Nintendo "Would Consider" Making Free-To-Play Animal Crossing Entry
I've never played an AC game, so this would be one way for N to get me to try it out.

Re: Nintendo Setting Up Thousands Of StreetPass Relay Stations Across US And Europe

Re: Nintendo Loses Exclusivity On Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut For Wii U
I thought this was supposed to have been released last month or something... is this why it hasn't come out yet?
I think I'll probably end up getting it, but it's just not a day one purchase for me.
Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo Virtual Boy
VB + VC = yes, gimme
Re: This Custom Twin Famicom Is The Stuff Hardware Dreams Are Made Of

Re: Sniper Elite V2 on Wii U Lacks Online Co-Op and DLC
Slightly disappointing.
I'll still get it eventually, maybe in a few months.
Re: Flipnote Hatena Data to be Automatically Switched to Flipnote Studio 3D World Gallery
I didn't have Flipnote and never saw the Hatena gallery so I'm probably not going to pay a subscription for the new gallery.

Re: Miiverse: Super Metroid - Too Taxing For Today's Gamers?
Us old timers are made of different stuff than contemporary gamers, the art & science of steadfastness & trial and error are gone it seems.

Re: Hardware Review: Mugen 3DS XL Battery Replacement Grants 20 Hours Of Staying Power

Doc, they're engaging the Flux Capacitor in the Wii U!

Re: Free-To-Play Tank! Tank! Tank! Gives You Club Nintendo Coins and Stars
@Azikira I did that too $2 (for now) to remove the play limit and My Kong is actually kinda fun!
Re: Nintendo Accused Of Infringing Trademark With Wii U WaraWara Plaza

Re: Hands On: Seeing The World in Wii U Panorama View
Thanks for the write-up, I was wondering the approximate length of the tours.
Re: Rumour: SpeedX 3D Sequel Driving Its Way to 3DS
I like SpeedX.

Re: Wii U System Update Is Now Live
Gotta love this update
Load times are greatly improved.
I needed the new screen size setting because the system always displayed a little too large for my screen.

Re: Miiverse Now Available In Your Browser
I just tried using the 3DS browser... no go
Why would they block their own hardware from accessing the miiverse?

Always nice to hear about 3rd party devs that wish to support the Wii U. Their ideas seem good, at least they sound creative.

I'd get it if it's only a couple bucks.

Re: Rumour: Majora's Mask 3D Listed for November Release by Retailer
ah MM... one can dream
I'd wager that it'd be fairly easy to reuse the 3DS OoT engine and assets for this.

Re: Developer Interview: Ubisoft on the Expanding Rayman Legends and Wii U's Free Challenge Mode
So will the challenge app 'break' when the retail game drops?
Re: Review: Viewtiful Joe (GameCube)
This was the last game I was playing on the GC before I got a Wii U. I could only pass a few levels, but it was a really nice looking game.
