It does state on the packaging that it is a download code and not a cartridge. It would have been nice to get a cart but it is what it is. Right now during Black Friday the game is $29 on Amazon, which is way better than the $60 they are usually charging and I am that I did not preorder.
I still play my SNES 3DS daily. I have been a fan of the DS/3DS family since the beginning and it will always have a special spot in my heart. The Switch is nice but it does not scratch that unique gaming itch that the DS/3DS family does.
I'm taking my son to the Lego Store in Ontario Mills today (following all protocals of course) so he can finally pick up his starter set. He has told me about the new Mario Lego line daily since it's announcement.
I play it almost every day. It's a lot of fun and I hope that Nintendo can fulfill the demand. I would LOVE to see a sequel to this game and would buy it day 1.
My son damaged the charge port on a New 3DSXL to the point where you couldn't get a charge. I looked at Nintendo's site and they wanted over $100 to fix it. I found a local place that charged $35 and it works a treat. The part is about $5 but there is soldering involved and is above my skill set and I like supporting local businesses. Charging me over $100 and being without a system is crazy. I had the unit back in day.
I don't own a Switch yet but I backed this project. It is a clever idea and when I do eventually get a Switch I definitely will want this to go with it. And it's $15 with shipping. Cannot beat that deal.
I really enjoyed the demo and I preordered the game. I am really thrilled that the save data transfers so that I can pick up where I left off without restarting.
I played the first level of the game at a Nintendo/GameStop event recently. It took me a little bit to get used to the controls but I thought it was a fun game. I will be getting my bundle tomorrow. I think Chibi-Robo is adoreable.
Please oh please oh please come to the States! I loved the last one and beat every single puzzle, including the downloadable ones. Day 1 instabuy here.
I think that the 4 star rating is a bit harsh. I've been playing this and would give it a 7. You can skip past the dialogue and just enjoy the puzzles. If you like a good match 3 with a challenge then this is worth the price.
I was able to order the Animal Crossing cards (which I didn't realize were on the list at first - silly me) this morning. Then I attempted to get EarthBound and the site went to the 'Maintenance' page. At least they should have plenty of codes.
This looks like fun. But I would like to know why GBA games are only showing up on the WiiU. The 3DS can handle that format. I have my 10 that they gave to us ambassadors back in the day and I would love to get more GBA titles on my 3DS.
I kept hoping this would come to the States, at least on the eShop but that hasn't happened. I got a copy via Amazon. So far I have been enjoying the game.
This game is great. I loved the first one and am loving the second one. The only issue (and it's an issue with the first one) is that it will come to an end. When that is the only issue, then you have something awesome.
Most of the games I already have. About the only thing I would get is DKC since I don't have it and it's still expensive. The rest are cheap downloads. I've been a Club Nintendo member since day one and I loved getting exclusive merchandise but this is a bit disappointing.

Re: Giveaway: Grab Yourself a Free Copy of Cube Life: Island Survival
Here's hoping I win a code. My son would love to play this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th November (North America)
Most of the games on the list I already have. I did get Inazuma 11 and Dooors.
Re: Review: Wizdom (3DS eShop)
This is a positive review for the game but doesn't explain why it only got 6/10. Was there a paragraph omitted?

Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS Model is Coming to North America
I would have been happy if they would have brought the XL version of the AC unit here. I like the bigger screen.

This will be a day 1 purchase for me. I loved the last one and beat every single puzzle it had, even the downloadable ones.
Re: First Impressions: Getting Cosy With Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
I was on the fence about this one when I heard about it but after the article, this will be one for me to preorder.
Re: Review: Jewel Quest: The Sapphire Dragon (3DS)
I think that the 4 star rating is a bit harsh. I've been playing this and would give it a 7. You can skip past the dialogue and just enjoy the puzzles. If you like a good match 3 with a challenge then this is worth the price.
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
I was able to order the Animal Crossing cards (which I didn't realize were on the list at first - silly me) this morning. Then I attempted to get EarthBound and the site went to the 'Maintenance' page. At least they should have plenty of codes.

Re: Two Tetris Titles Pulled From the 3DS eShop in North America
Glad I downloaded this the other day. Watching what was going on in other markets made me grab it before it disappeared.
Re: Review: Kuru Kuru Kururin (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
This looks like fun. But I would like to know why GBA games are only showing up on the WiiU. The 3DS can handle that format. I have my 10 that they gave to us ambassadors back in the day and I would love to get more GBA titles on my 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st January (North America)
I would get Pokemon Pinball if it was on the 3DS.

Re: Review: Safari Quest (3DS eShop)
This was an ok match 3 game. For $5, it wasn't bad. I got it and finished it in a week.
Re: Engine Software Announces MineFeud For 3DS eShop
I'd not heard of this one. If it is at a reasonable price and gets a decent review I would give it a go.
Re: Review: Tappingo 2 (3DS eShop)
This game is great. I loved the first one and am loving the second one. The only issue (and it's an issue with the first one) is that it will come to an end. When that is the only issue, then you have something awesome.
Re: Tappingo 2's North American Release Date Is No Longer A Puzzle
Hooray! Day 1 download!
Re: Review: Siesta Fiesta (3DS eShop)
Day 1 download for me on this one. Congrats to MojoBones on the awesome score.
