My brother has this and we play it together quite often. We have a blast playing the highly addictive City Trial, and trying to compete to get the Dragoon or Hydra first.
That is an impressive amount of use time on one charge. I was worried that the controller wouldn't work with VC titles, but it was just Wii games. That is good because I am keeping my Wii remotes and I wasn't expecting it to work with the Wii anyways.
@GameLord08 Those are some good points (and games) that you bring up. If you can't find at least a few games you like out of that selection, that's rough. The DS does have an advantage over 3DS sales because it has been out for far longer.
Mario ate a canned mushroom. He became Can Mario! These are really impressive. It must have taken drinking a lot of soda or visiting the recycling center to get that many cans.
I was never expecting the game to be played off the TV, so that's not an issue for me. I am a little concerned about only being able to use the Game Pad. I hope that control scheme works as well as the Wii Remote and Nunchuck style.
I remember playing this one a lot as a kid. My brother and I managed to play through the whole game by switching off when the other died. I played as Donkey and he played as Diddy.
I personally think that the joysticks were an improvement. It worked so nicely on the nunchuck. Of course, if they had stuck with the original design, I wouldn't have flipped out.
I understand Ubisoft's logic on the matter, and I can't wait to pick Legends up. If done correctly, the game pad will be a great addition to many games.
@The_Other_M Well played old boy! Calmly stating your opinion goes a long way. I have never played any phone games so I am not in a position to judge their quality. I hope to see both sides better themselves from the competition.

Re: Meet Leyla Hasso, The Fastest Female SNES Super Mario Kart Player
Skillz (and a golden SNES controller), she has them.
Re: Counterfeit Nintendo Games Seller Faces Jail Term
This is plagiarism of the Nintendo's software and work. Plain and simple.
Re: Feature: Pokémon's Controversial History
@Void
LOL. That about sums up my reaction to James. (Shudder)
Re: Feature: Pokémon's Controversial History
Mom: Son! Get away from that nasty, evil Pokemon and play your nice, safe Call of Duty!
Re: Nintendo Invades Scribblenauts Unlimited
@MrWalkieTalkie
Good point. I can't believe I forgot him! It would have been neat to see Bowser duke it out with Godzilla.
Re: Charles Martinet Interviewed At Random During Security Breach
@Raylax There had better not be a poison mushroom in there. Those things are dangerous!
Re: Nintendo Responds To Foxconn's Admission Of Guilt In Child Labour Scandal
Sound's like Nintendo is saying, "Can't let you do that Foxconn."
Re: Events: Nintendo Gala at the 56th BFI London Film Festival
Maybe this mingling between Nintendo and the celebrity world will produce a gilded 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Invades Scribblenauts Unlimited
These look like a good group Nintendo characters. I wonder why they didn't put Ganondorf in with the other Zelda characters.
Re: Wii U GamePad Wireless Range is "Fine Within The Same Space"
Maybe Nintendo should start a comedy club sometime. (laughs) On November 18, I will go around my house and test where the GamePad works.
Re: Events: Play Expo - A Day of Bitmaps, Digital Sumos, Wii U and Pac-Man Vs. Ghosts
That sounds like fun. I need to find an expo near me sometime and find a way to go.
Re: Pikmin 3 Sprouting For Spring 2013 Release In North America
Well, I guess spring is when the flowers come out. If they need the extra time to make the game better, I'm alright with it.
Re: Super Mario Gangnam Style Flash Mob's Got Some Moves
Weegee has some good moves. He must have been kicking it on Mario DDR.
Re: Pokémon Reorchestrated: Kanto Symphony Released into the Wild
That was amazing! Music like this gets me in the mood for a Pokemon battle! Go Squirtle!
Re: Wii U Pro Controller Lasts 80 Hours On A Single Charge, Not Backwards Compatible
That is an impressive amount of use time on one charge. I was worried that the controller wouldn't work with VC titles, but it was just Wii games. That is good because I am keeping my Wii remotes and I wasn't expecting it to work with the Wii anyways.
Re: More Nintendo Characters Heading To Scribblenauts Unlimited
I wonder if Kirby and King Dedede will show up? If they do, and Kirby beats Dedede, I'm throwing my copy away! LOL. Love ya Brawl in the Family!
Re: Pokémon Black and White 2 Catches a Strong UK Chart Début
I am throughly enjoying playing through White 2 so far. The return to Unova has been fantastic.
Re: Ubisoft States That Wii U GamePad Latency is "Just 1/60 of a Second"
I learned about the GamePad's latency (or lack of latency) from the October issue of Nintendo Power. This is gonna be great!
Re: Archos Uses Star Fox And Mario To Demo Its Console-Killing Tablet
To each their own. As for me, I am definitely sticking with the Wii U GamePad. The use of Star Fox for this device seems...dubious.
Re: Feature: The New Dimensions of Pokémon
@HarmoKnight
That would be really cool.
It would be nice to see something like that show up as part of Generation VI.
Re: Review: Samurai G (3DS eShop)
Phew... I'm glad I read the ingredients (review) before I considered buying Samurai G Bee Cereal.

This takes oragami to the next level!
Re: Check Out These Amazing Nintendo Can Sculptures

These are really impressive. It must have taken drinking a lot of soda or visiting the recycling center to get that many cans.
Re: Wii U Epic Mickey 2 May Not Feature Off-TV Play
@GameLord08
That's an excellent point you bring up. If the new control style uses those features, it might make it just as good if not better.
Re: Wii U Epic Mickey 2 May Not Feature Off-TV Play
I was never expecting the game to be played off the TV, so that's not an issue for me. I am a little concerned about only being able to use the Game Pad. I hope that control scheme works as well as the Wii Remote and Nunchuck style.
Re: The Truth Behind Donkey Kong Country's Opening Level Theme
I remember playing this one a lot as a kid. My brother and I managed to play through the whole game by switching off when the other died. I played as Donkey and he played as Diddy.
Re: Teens Losing Interest In Social Gaming, Turning To Traditional Consoles
I've never been into social gaming. I enjoy a well made console or handheld title that can last for a long time for me.
Re: Nicalis Teases 3DS Ikachan Port
I would have to more about the game itself. But, if it's made by the creator of Cave Story, a conversion would probably be a good thing.
Re: First Impressions: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Man this looks great! Cannot wait for it to come out! In the meantime I'll enjoy White 2 and Wii U.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th October 2012 (North America)
Probably won't be buying anything today, but I may try the demo.
Re: Two Tribes: Old Wii U GamePad Design "Was Like a Toy"
I personally think that the joysticks were an improvement. It worked so nicely on the nunchuck. Of course, if they had stuck with the original design, I wouldn't have flipped out.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th October 2012 (Europe)
I'll get Dream Radar to go with my White 2.
Re: Feature: EB Expo 2012 Nintendo Booth Impressions
Nice work on the customer relations Nintendo! I wish I could have been there. It looked fun. November 18 cannot come soon enough!
Re: Rayman Legends Won't Arrive Until Q1 2013
I'm disappointed over its delay, but happy that they are working on improving it. It will give me time to work on some other games.
Re: First Impressions: Paper Mario Sticker Star
@GameCube
I see what you did there!
Sticker Star looks very promising, and I plan on picking it up as soon as I can.
Re: PETA Targets Pokémon Black & White 2 in Latest Campaign
PETA was looking for attention. Sadly, they got just what they wanted.
Re: The Best Damn Half Time Entertainment You'll Ever See
Truly epic.
Re: The Best Damn Half Time Entertainment You'll Ever See
Now that's what a marching band should be like! I wonder if they take requests? LOL.
Re: Want to Know Why Rayman Legends is a Wii U Exclusive?
I understand Ubisoft's logic on the matter, and I can't wait to pick Legends up. If done correctly, the game pad will be a great addition to many games.

Well played old boy! Calmly stating your opinion goes a long way. I have never played any phone games so I am not in a position to judge their quality. I hope to see both sides better themselves from the competition.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Focus on the 3DS eShop
@The_Other_M
You and me both! Looks like there are going to be some good times ahead for the eshop.
Re: Review: Pokémon Dream Radar (3DS eShop)
It's hard to argue with $2.50. I'm definitely going to get this.
Re: Review: Pokémon Black and White 2 (DS)
Great review! I can't wait to pick up White 2 on the 7th. When you get your copy, don't forget to pick up Genesect.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seven
@bezerker99
That sounds like a fulfilling weekend. I may have to do some Skyward Sword. GO ZELDAMANIA!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seven
I plan on picking up Pokemon White 2 this weekend. I'll also be doing some NSMB2. Gotta get 1,000,000 coins!
Re: Test Your Professor Layton Knowledge Via This Facebook Quiz
Not in the US I see. Oh, well I guess it's all right because I've never played Professor Layton.
