@Shworange: If 3D Land was your first video game you probably wouldn't have amassed a stock of 189 lives!

@sketchturner Computers aren't basic, like I said the idea was.

What I just wrote like a million words why

@Tsuchinoko: Nope! But hey, crouch walk.

@Travis1984: What do you mean "forced" to use the stealth element? You can go as guns-blazing as you want.

@warioswoods: psst, you're not supposed to have a straight face for a lot of what happens.

@zezhyrule: True, but the camera is the free-moving one from Subsistence!

Go ninjas go ninjas go

@Extremist: Marvel is DLC for Pinball FX 2 on XBLA.

@sinalefa: Take it up with the post office.

@kkslider5552000: Different reviewers, genres, expectations, planets, etc.

PRANK BANANA

So U.S. release by 2014 then? Alrighty.

@XyVoX: I was just about to post that. Had to check my phone for a sec there, haha.

@warioswoods: All content is on the disc/cartridge. The figures do have some kind of on-board memory to save statistics and such, so that you can carry over your Skylanders to other people's games (or, in this case, a sequel).

This typo has done massive damage to my pronunciation of the word "revelations."

@40: The most I cashed in on one day was 6,000 and it made one of the three trees bloom to 60%. I have no idea if there's an upper ceiling to how many steps you can cash in, but if there is one then I think it's safe to call it reasonably high.

@28: Once a day you can put your pedometer steps towards a rock garden, and the more steps you put in the more the sakura trees bloom. It's mostly just pretty, and it takes a lot of steps to get stuff in full bloom.

Nintendo Entertainment System.

@15: Yep, typo fixed. Thanks!

@9: The protagonist is only referred to as the Sakura Samurai, and you can't name him. As for the story, it's basically "your princess is in another castle" type stuff.

@10: A game doesn't have to be fully 3D to be pretty! But anyway, Pushmo and Zen Pinball look pretty great. If you love the way this looks then great, I found the art style to be a little bland in spots.

I'm actually kinda pumped, but mostly because this'll help me watch Netflix more comfortably.

@retro_player_22 I plead poetic license.

I was so pumped for this game when it first came out and it totally delivered. Kinda fell off the WarioWare train since then but coming back to this one via the Ambassador program has been a real treat. Couldn't agree more with the praise in the review. Excellent game!

@battLeToaD: Stages feel an awful lot like the NES version, and according to Wikipedia (yeah, yeah) they both feature the same stages. A notable difference is in the enemy encounter stages: they're top-down on NES and sidescrollers on GB.

I wouldn't hold my breath for the uncensored BC on any platform either. I mean, we didn't even get arcade Donkey Kong.

@Shiryu: Our Sad Panda Party has been going since 2003 with no end in sight

@moomoo: GBA is definitely 32-bit.

I have really fond memories of this one but don't know if I want to go back to it quite yet after MK7 and F-Zero: Maximum Velocity. I feel like they have cumulatively scratched the Super Circuit itch.

I guess that depends if we're talking about an African or a European swallow.

Awesome! Although I imported. Patience is not a virtue of mine.

At least I've got buttons on the way.

A little too excited for this. Very jealous you've experienced it already! Although maybe not so much that you had to power through it like that — can't wait to explore it at leisure.

@pntjr: All figurines are compatible with all versions. Their stats carry over between platforms.

@BulbasaurusRex: I'd say expect around 10 hours of "normal" play, i.e. taking the time to do some of the side stuff and not trying to critical path through. It's beefy, and the more characters you pick up I'd say add an extra few hours each if you're interested in leveling them up. There's certainly a lot of game here if you're willing to explore.

BONUS EDIT: Another way to look at it is that there are eight elemental types and you start off with three. If you get both the Wii and 3DS versions (they're different games and cross-compatible) you get five elemental types and only need three more. There are also extra environments that are pretty lengthy, and you can use your Skylanders on the free PC/Mac browser game too.

So no, you don't have to buy all 30+ figures to get the "whole game," but if you want to explore 100% of the environment you'll need to pick up the types you're missing.

@battLeToaD: Lyrics are from Big Boi's song Shutterbug. Google and you're gold!

I remember squishing a lot of bugs in Beetlejuice, but beyond that all I recall is it being based on the cartoon and that it was a platformer.

It's cold and raining out today so when I get home I'm going to curl up on the couch and play some Splatterhouse. oooOOOooOoOOooooOOo

@R-L-A-George That's not how Plus or their licensing deals work.

@tendoboy1984 Are you saying these won't come out in the US?

London Life was done by the folks over at Brownie Brown, who did Mother 3. So, again Europe is screwed out of a gem!

1. Just Dance
2. Dance on Broadway
3. Gold's Gym Dance Workout
4. Just Dance 2
5. Just Dance Kids
6. Michael Jackson: The Experience
7. The Smurfs Dance Party
8. Just Dance Summer Party

Then there's of course Just Dance 3, and in the next few months we've got Just Dance Kids 2, ABBA You Can Dance and The Black Eyed Peas Experience.

Games without "Just" in the title are counted because they're Ubisoft games that are more or less Just Dance with a specific focus.

@5: There are two control schemes. It sounds like you're using one you're not comfortable with, so I suggest you try the other to make the game handle almost exactly like Shattered Dimensions.

Because the 3DS version is technically inferior outside of colors.

@6: None?

@bossmank: It had a few little extras not found in other versions that tied the RE2 fiction into later games that had been released since RE2 first hit PlayStation. So, technically, the game that hit the N64 was "exclusive" to the platform, even if the majority of it was not.

@uel: Next we're gonna review YOUR FACE

Better late than never I suppose.

"plus the option to register StreetPassed players to your online list to race against them over WiFi Connection."

Can you hear that? It's the sound of fulfilled potential!

@jgary1: Darkness was never an issue for me and I usually have my brightness on 3. You can always crank it up if it's tough to see but I had no issues.

@38: This is the only Wario Land game associated with Mario Land, afterwards it spun off into its own independent series with no Mario present.
