Signed of course!!! Europe is in desperate need of Wii RPGs! If the Wii3D isn't going to come out this year with new RPGs, what else should I play?

okay, preorder then...

And if it would last for one hour! Come on folks... it's the 3DS! The last time I was so excited for a new system was 20 years ago! I think this thing will be freakin' awesome!!

gross!! i want it!

I'm so waiting for this. It looks stunning (for Wii standards) and I like the new battle approach. Could be a winner (hopefully soon)...

May many, many years follow!!! You're simply the best!!! <3 <3 <3

I really, really, really want to have this too, but when is it coming to EU??? I need a date I can worship!!!!!!!

I don't get it either...

I played it a few days ago at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. The graphics and the controls were awesome, but in the demo there weren't any combat situations whatsoever. That was a little bit disappointing
But I'm really looking forward to this title. I hope it will hit German stores in December!

@ Bass X0: In a way it's like Crystal Defenders, but be sure to expect way more! You don't only buy units but also rooms for your tower. For example you have melee, ranged & magic units and rooms wich can attack foes, poison them or protect your own units. And foes are able to attack your units & rooms. So there are a lot of neat things they came up with. I would say that CD is really basic gameplay, while MLAAD is a lot more fun.

@ davegorack: To be honest: It kinda pis*** me of, that SqaureEnix goes with that DC stuff right from the start. If they would make the basic game and then go "okay we have came up with something nice we could add, so here's the stuff for a few bucks for the fans" it would be okay. But giving you the option for MLAAD to buy a dress for the main character for 300 points (and there are at least 2 of it) wich will cost you 6€ (5,20 pounds) it's really unfair. I'm kind of a completionist and like my games completed 100%, so it really hurts my gamer feelings (crying out loud to the heavens!). You pay 1000 points for the game and you could pay another 5500 points for DC!! So the whole game costs 65€ (56 pounds or $91) That's a lot of points (money)...

I forgot to mention that I love the Tonberries!!!

I just played the first chapter and I have to say that I am impressed! I just want to share a few facts with you. SPOILER ALERT!

• the game itself needs 319 blocks (+ 2 for the savegame)
• Nintendo tells you right from the start that there will be more downloadable content
• you play holding the wiimote horizontally (no gestures or waggle features included so far)
• the controls are intuitive & fast
• you add floors to your tower and set traps and foes for the arriving "do-gooders"
• between the levels you custimize your tower and the monsters you can buy with NP (negative power, muahahah)
• the first chapter has five levels an a boss stage (with Chime being the first boss)
• MLAAD is a more sophisticated tower defense game with way more choices to make
• it has charming visuals and enjoyable music & sound effects
• the gameplay is is really addicting
  & rewarding
• I only played about an hour so far but I'm really having a great time and can't stop playing. I do recommend the game for tower defense game fans & FFCC fans, too. If your still unsure wait for nintendolife's review.

I have to defeat some more "do-gooders"!
Bye!

I'm downloading it right now... I'm really exited! I couldn't find a review yet, so I'm just trying it out...

As many of you said: I'd also love a new Mario RPG, but a real RPG. Like the original but with more depth.. I think that the folks at SquareEnix really could do that again.
Donkey Kong Country 4 would also be great. Love the idea! But who out there is really capable of doing it?
My idea would be a simulation game in the Mario Universe. Think of it like a mixture between Spore and SimCity. Would it work? I really don't know But Maxis could do it!
