Other impressions have stated that the game does not run very well at all. I think most people will be buying the PS3 HD Collection which includes HD versions of this, MGS2 and Peace Walker for probably the same price.
I downloaded it like 5 minutes before this review was put up. I'm happy with my purchase, but dud I do the right thing choosing this over Kirbys Dreamland (for now)?
@Rift I'm just not digging the art style and enemy designs. To me it looks like they've just used leftover Brawl setpieces and slapped Pit into it all.
NoE have FINALLY confirmed we're getting 5 E3 trailers tomorrow and the other 5 next week. Also we get Xevious (3D Classics) and Marios Picross in July.
For anyone in the UK, I highly recommend you don't buy this game in a few months instore at GAME or Gamestation (New or Preowned). It'll have someone elses save file on and you'll never get rid of it because the staff like to play on stuff and still sell it as "New".
I bought a DS Lite brand new from Gamestation once. It had already been set up, and was covered in greasy fingerprints, and had the name Elliot on it. Of course I immediately returned it and the guy at the till; Elliot, gave me my refund. Heh.
Thanks for the heads up. After GAME screwed me over by not sending me the preorder content (despite me preordering ages ago), I feel better now I'm getting the CD
I'm on my first real playthrough of this and I've just entered the 8th dungeon with 14 hours of playtime. I've got every piece of heart except one, the secret seashells reward, the bomb bag, quiver and magic upgrades, and the magnifying lens.
I'm enjoying the hell out of it and can't find fault with the 10/10 score at all.

Re: Inazuma Eleven Finally Makes it to UK Today
How is it for someone who has no interest in football/socka?
Re: New Wii Design Could Go As Low as £80
The Wii looks much better with the Wii logo horizontal.

Re: Let's Create! Pottery on DSiWare This Week
So I heard this game costs FOUR MILLION DOLLAS?
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Readying Big Announcement Next Month
It'll be Pokemon Chalk and Cheese versions for 3DS, out in Japan March 2012, and Europe and the US November 2014.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
Only RPG's I really like are the main Pokemon series and Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi.
Will I like this?
Note: I couldn't get into MH Tri at all. Is it anything like that?
Re: Talking Point: What Was the Best Super NES Game Ever?
Super Mario World or Super Metroid. Can't decide.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August 2011 (North America)
@Link79 I don't make sarcy comments based on what you spend your money on, so perhaps you could show the same courtesy.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August 2011 (North America)
I downloaded Urban Champion, and am finding it pretty fun. It's simple, and a good time waster.
Re: Nintendo DS Sales Figures Make Wii's Look Tiny
I have 100 DS games, not including DSiWare. I can't remember the exact number for Wii, but it's around 80 not including VC/WiiWare.
Re: Guillemot: "Assassin's Creed Wii U Won't Be Revelations"
I cringe when I see that guy. He's so ugly and has such an annoying voice.

Re: Review: Game & Watch Gallery (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
It's out in Europe this Thursday for £2.70, along with Xevious (3D Classic) and some DSiWare.

Re: Review: Game & Watch Gallery (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Hopefully NoE will announce this as a Thursday release here tomorrow.
Is it still worth buying if you own all 9 DSiWare G&W games, as well as Game & Watch Gallery for Game Boy Advance?
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th July 2011 (Europe)
Is Mario's Picross worth getting for someone who owns Mario's Super Picross (VC), Picross DS and Picross 3D?
Re: Review: QIX (Game Boy)
I downloaded it like 5 minutes before this review was put up. I'm happy with my purchase, but dud I do the right thing choosing this over Kirbys Dreamland (for now)?

@Rift I'm just not digging the art style and enemy designs. To me it looks like they've just used leftover Brawl setpieces and slapped Pit into it all.
Re: Rumour: Kid Icarus: Uprising to Miss 2011 in Europe
I don't mind. The game looks pretty generic anyway.
Re: 3D Classics Urban Champion Coming to Brawl on eShop Soon
It'll probably be on the EU eShop a month after the US and double the price. £15.10 or something dumb like that.
Re: European 3DS eShop Gets 3D Trailers Tomorrow
^ Got a source for that?
Re: European 3DS eShop Gets 3D Trailers Tomorrow
For making the effort of adding the trailers I'll be rewarding them by adding a tenner and downloading Kirbys Dreamland
Re: Wii Has a Barren Summer Ahead in Europe
Pretty sure Mario Party 9 is scheduled for 2012 unfortunately.
Re: European DS Fans, These Are Your Big Games of 2011
Was hoping Kirby Mass Attack would be dated.
Also, please localise Pokemon Typing
Re: European 3DS eShop Gets 3D Trailers Tomorrow
carina of Time! lol
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June 2011 (Europe)
NoE have FINALLY confirmed we're getting 5 E3 trailers tomorrow and the other 5 next week. Also we get Xevious (3D Classics) and Marios Picross in July.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June 2011 (Europe)
Update's live. Still no E3 trailers. I won't be buying anything until they're up.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June 2011 (Europe)
@65 The UK eShop updates at 2pm UK time.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June 2011 (Europe)
I'd download Kirby if the price wasn't so pathetic. Even the lower Game Boy price point of £2.70 would have been too much for a game with 5 levels.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Bundle Pack is Beautiful
Lol rubbing it in a bit for the NAers
Re: RE Mercenaries 3D Save Data Will Not Die
For anyone in the UK, I highly recommend you don't buy this game in a few months instore at GAME or Gamestation (New or Preowned). It'll have someone elses save file on and you'll never get rid of it because the staff like to play on stuff and still sell it as "New".

Re: Wii RPG Outrage Floods Official Nintendo Facebook
I agree with @19 Where's our ExciteBots, Mario Super Sluggers and Fatal Frame IV?
Those would hold me over until Skyward Sword. I was hoping Wii Play Motion would last me a while but I've got a Platinum Medal on all 12 games.
Re: Wii RPG Outrage Floods Official Nintendo Facebook
I don't drink tea and I hate people who do.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - July 2011
Looking forward to downloading G&W Gallery.
Re: Mystery Case Files Investigates Europe on 9th September
Why do they do this? Release nothing for months then release two games on the same day. Well I'll have to skip this now to get Starfox 64 3D
Re: Kirby Gets His Own TV Channel in Europe Tomorrow
I still can't grasp why it's free. Must be a catch. Maybe there's advertising shoved in there.
If not and it genuinely is free, then thanks NoE for doing something right for once.
Re: Kirby Gets His Own TV Channel in Europe Tomorrow
@Cipher, thanks bro.
Re: Kirby Gets His Own TV Channel in Europe Tomorrow
Is this for the UK too or mainland Europe only?
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (Europe)
Is Double Dragon like Streets of Rage?
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (Europe)
My bad. I don't keep up with WiiWare anymore.
Hopefully we'll get the E3 trailers, but I doubt it. Probably a 2D video of a Sudoku game or something.
When does this update go live on the eShop? Tomorrow afternoon?
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (Europe)
I'm guessing this list isn't complete, as the Nintendo UK site says Airport Mania for WiiWare is out too.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong (Game Boy)
Brlliant game. Up to World 4. The score is dead on.
Re: Super Mario 3DS Has More Thrills, Less Exploration
This is perfectly fine by me, as long as the Super Mario Wii U game has huge open worlds with exploration.
Re: Nintendo Europe Site Returns to Full Capacity
Thanks for the heads up. After GAME screwed me over by not sending me the preorder content (despite me preordering ages ago), I feel better now I'm getting the CD
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (Europe)
Did this post get deleted by mistake or something? I'm sure there were more than three comments when I looked earlier, lol.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (Europe)
Absolutely loving DK. Never played this version before. If you liked the GBA Mario vs DK you'll love this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (North America)
Watch as Europe still gets no E3 trailers and ends up getting a few DSIShovelWare games.
Re: Review: Tennis (Game Boy)
Well the multiplayer doesn't work for me.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (Game Boy Color)
I'm on my first real playthrough of this and I've just entered the 8th dungeon with 14 hours of playtime. I've got every piece of heart except one, the secret seashells reward, the bomb bag, quiver and magic upgrades, and the magnifying lens.
I'm enjoying the hell out of it and can't find fault with the 10/10 score at all.
Re: Regional eShops Will Continue to Offer Different Content
I don't really take NoE seriously anymore. Add the E3 videos to the eShop ASAP and that'll be a step in the right direction.
Add some new games too, and I'll buy them. You want to make money right? So make some new stuff available!
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS)
I don't need a review to make me buy it. It's my favourite game of all time and my copy has been despatched
