Great game, and the most refined of the 3 I believe. They might do what they did for the PS3 ME2 release and have a comic book-style recap of the previous game, where you get to make some of the more important desicions.
If there are enough added perks to the Wii U version, I might pick it up for cheap somewhere down the line.
Add voice acting and cut out the padding (fetch quests, slow over-world travel). Had to force myself through about the last 10 hours of the game.
This "episodic" (maybe the wrong word- think more like OoT/MM and SMG1/2 in terms of using the existing engines to make new games/stories) could work well if the games were more refined.
It would be ideally suited to some the 2D Zelda's, IMO.
Now, for me the visuals aren't working (sound is fine). Do I need to change the cables, or can I just change some settings on the Wii/TV? Not sure if I know where my original cables are.
Yeah, my parter wanted to get MP9, and her and I have enjoyed it, despite the changes made. It's quite fast-paced this time around, which is very refreshing.
I do agree that the mini games are quite good, but the luck on the boards get a bit frustrating sometimes.
It's a start. At least my menu looks a lot tidier now.
I just wish when you moved a tile that it didn't replace the one you dropped on, and just added it between the two tiles (like when you move around tiles on an iPhone), if you get what I mean.
I never get too excited for these 2D Mario games, but I always eventually pick it up and enjoy it. The P-Bar will be a welcome return. Hopefully they also have secret exits ala-SMW (with a good overworld also).

This reminded me that I need to download the DLC on the PS3 version.

Re: E3 2012: Pikmin 3 Sprouts On Wii U
Pikmin Smash!
Re: E3 2012: Wii U Supports Two GamePads
Good to hear that it supports it, but won't buy a second until I see some games where it will be essential.
Re: E3 2012: New Super Mario Bros. U Media Blowout
Squirrel Suit- Racoon Cape? I like it. Backgrounds look great too. Was beginning to tire of NSMB but this one has gotten me interested again.
Re: Reaction: On First Glance, Nintendo Land is No Wii Sports
Had so much fun with Tennis on Wii Sports and Tanks on Wii Play, so this has a lot to live up to. Looks promising though.
Re: E3 2012: Every Wii U Game Announced So Far
There are some games I'll have on other platforms, but it definitely looks like a good line up on the whole.
Re: E3 2012: Ubisoft Shows Off Rayman Legends for Wii U
Doubt a Rayman game will be exclusive for long.
The game is looking good though.
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Finally Arrives Online with Wii U
Online? Technology these days.

Doesn't look too bad so far.

SMW-like overworld? Yes please.
Re: We'll Learn New Monster Hunter 4 Details Next Month
Looking forward to this, even if I do have to end up importing it
Either way, interested to see what they reveal about the game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 31st May 2012 (Europe)
What an awesome week.
Re: Doubts About Monster Hunter 3 G Worldwide Release
Doubt they would release it over here without putting in the effort to have an online mode, so doubt it will happen.
3DS or Vita, first one to get one will win my money.
Re: Rayman Hits 3DS VC in Europe Next Week
Rahman Origins felt too slow on the 3DS.
Will be picking this up though.
Re: Feature: The Evolution of Nintendo's Controllers
CC Pro.

Re: Review: Kirby's Dream Land 2 (3DS eShop / Game Boy)
Whenever I think of Kirby, this is the game that comes to mind. Great fun.
Re: Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed
Can't really comment until I get to actually hold the thing.
Re: Review: Monster World IV (Wii Virtual Console / Mega Drive)
@James - thanks for that. It worked. Will be playing it shortly.
Re: Review: Monster World IV (Wii Virtual Console / Mega Drive)
Nice review. Looking forward to playing it.
Now, for me the visuals aren't working (sound is fine). Do I need to change the cables, or can I just change some settings on the Wii/TV? Not sure if I know where my original cables are.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th May 2012 (Europe)
Already got RO on PS3, but I'm interested to see what it looks like in 3D. Haven't played KDL2 for years, so might give that a go too.
Good week again.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
VVVVVV got a run from me this weekend. So much fun. Finally got the Veni Vidi Victi trinket after about 100 deaths. Worth it.
Re: Nintendo Japan Discontinues Aqua Blue 3DS
@JonWahlgren - nah, they're still selling them in cosmo black.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th May 2012 (Europe)
Went to download VVVVVV, not in the Aus eShop.
Came on here to see what the go is, see talk about changing region settings. Credit Card didn't work last time, but works this time.
Ended up with VVVVVV and Shantae.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th May 2012 (Europe)
Best week in a long time.
Re: Wonder Boy Double Dose Hits North America's VC Next Week
Monster World IV! I so can't wait for that to come out over here.
Price seems really good too, compared to the "work" they put into other import titles.
Re: Mario Party 9 has Sales to Celebrate in the Japanese Chart
Yeah, my parter wanted to get MP9, and her and I have enjoyed it, despite the changes made. It's quite fast-paced this time around, which is very refreshing.
I do agree that the mini games are quite good, but the luck on the boards get a bit frustrating sometimes.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Banks on Its Old Money Makers
Donkey Kong Land 3DS. Do it.
Re: Guide: Nintendo 3DS System Update v. 4.0.0-7
It's a start. At least my menu looks a lot tidier now.
I just wish when you moved a tile that it didn't replace the one you dropped on, and just added it between the two tiles (like when you move around tiles on an iPhone), if you get what I mean.
Re: Zack & Wiki Producer Interested in Sequel
This is a game that I always meant to pick up, but never got around to it.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS
I never get too excited for these 2D Mario games, but I always eventually pick it up and enjoy it. The P-Bar will be a welcome return. Hopefully they also have secret exits ala-SMW (with a good overworld also).
Re: Feature: Bargain Bin DS Games
Picross DS, Retro Game Challenge, Monster Tale, Mega Man Zero Collection. 4 cheap games I've picked up in stores that I've really enjoyed.

Lovely. I've been looking for something to put my coffee table book on.

Really interested to see how they implement the new controller into this game.
Re: 8-Bit + 6 String = NES Guitar
Nice little novelty there. Would be amused if somebody came onto stage with one of them.
Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening Pops The Question
@theblackdragon - that would be interesting when they're applying for adoption:
"Why would you like to adopt a child?"
"To fight in war!"
Re: Review: Inazuma Eleven 2 Firestorm (DS)
Making my way through the first game at the moment. Enjoying it so far, and will probably move onto this next.
Re: First Epic Mickey 3DS Screen Shows Scrooge McDuck
Now that looks interesting,
