I don't have high expectations of this one. It looks very cheap and lifeless with dull gameplay. That being said I really didn't enjoy the DS version so the reveal of this one was pretty much a "meh' from the get go. I'll look forward to the reviews, however.
Bit disappointed to be honest with this. I thought 3D Land's format fitted perfectly with the handheld format, think it could just be a bit "empty" on a home console. Would have preferred a more open game akin to 64 and Sunshine a hundred times over. Just seems like they've rushed this one out.
Plus I don't care for multiplayer at all with a Mario game.
Kinda glad we got the less crude version to be honest. I'm not really one for over prudence, but that just seems so out of place with what the game's about.
@Peach64 They're probably hoping people will go out and actually buy two or even all three games just to get the free one. It might even entice newcomers to buy a 3DS along with three of the games. If they can advertise this well enough, it could be great business for them.
My biggest request is an actual account system for my 3DS. I'm terrified about losing it/breaking it. I really do think twice before buying something on the eShop just knowing that I'm not really buying it, I'm loaning it until my 3DS packs in.
Now we just need to be able to spend them on games. Just been filling out the surveys and come across a few bugs. I clicked to survey "freakyforms" and it sent me to survey "Trine 2". Again, I go to survey "Xevious" and it sent me to "Google map street thingy" instead. I wouldn't mind but I don't even have a WiiU.
The first track on Sonic and All-stars Racing Transformed seems a little better too (that's one of the worst tracks for framerate issues). The Skies of Arcadia one is still bad though.
Well it wouldn't have worked. It may have done for the vacuum, but it would have been really awkward to control the darklight/flashlight and the second circle pad at the same time. I don't have three thumbs.
Happy anniversary. I'm disappointed to say that I have only just discovered this site in recent months. It's fantastic, I really love the fact you review a large % of the games released, especially the often neglected eShop releases.
I've not had to use the function yet to be honest. I'm sure they'll fix it eventually, but I think I'll plough on through anyways. Also, apparently if you leave the game frozen for about 5 minutes it will eventually unfreeze.

Wish this had been published before the price went back up.
Re: Limited Edition Pokémon X & Y 3DS Models Revealed in Japan
Looks good. Still upside down though. -_-

Re: Atlus USA States That It's Currently "Unaffected" by Issues With Japanese Parent Company
If things get worse, I hope Nintendo buys the Atlus part.
Re: Nintendo - Donkey Kong Series is Adaptable to Fresh Ideas
When I finally get a Wii U, this one will definitely be a purchase.
Re: #3DSreasons: Tell us your reason and Win a copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf!
Another video competition? :/
Re: Link to the Past Sequel Officially Named The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Now that is a terrible name. Just doesn't fit right off the tongue. I'm sure it'll grow on my eventually.

Re: Retro Chose Donkey Kong Over Metroid as Its First Wii U Title
Can't let those readily usable assets go to waste.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Network ID Coming To 3DS This Year With Hulu In Tow
As long as it means that all my games are tied to my account and not my system then it's fantastic. If that's not the case, then it's meaningless.
Re: Weirdness: Pokémon Fusion Fan-Site Remixes Your Favourite 'Mon
Squirtqueen... Pretty sure I saw a strange movie on that once. :/
Re: Harvest Moon: A New Beginning Has Been Rated in Europe
Definitely will be picking this one up.
Re: Weirdness: Nintendo of Europe Didn't Want "Boingy Bits" in Fire Emblem: Awakening
Kinda glad we got the less crude version to be honest. I'm not really one for over prudence, but that just seems so out of place with what the game's about.
Re: Ghostlight Confirms Devil Survivor Overclocked Patch is Finished
Not had a problem getting through the game to be honest.
Re: Interview: Marc Franklin - Nintendo of America
Did you seriously not ask about a proper account system for the 3DS eShop?

Re: Nintendo of Europe Offers Free Game in "So Many Games!" Promotion
@Vallu If you've linked you're 3DS account to your Club Nintendo account, you still get them registered. As long as you fill in the survey online.

Got mine Wednesday from Shopto
Re: Nintendo And GAME Hosting Multiplayer Mayhem Event This Weekend
Meadowhall is right next to me. Might pop in see what's going on.
Re: Nintendo’s Bill Trinen: 2013 Is The Year When The 3DS "Takes Off"
I think the 30 million units sold could double by this time next year.
Re: Mario Golf: World Tour Features Online Play And Communities
Hope it's not as disappointing as Mario Tennis.
Re: Level 5 Teaser Site Hints at Guild02 Localisations
This'll be on the NIntendo Direct.
Re: New 3DS Nintendo Direct to Broadcast on 17th April
I'm hoping for a 3D Classic A Link to the Past.
Re: Freshly-Sliced Version Of Cut The Rope Coming To 3DS eShop
Never played it before, but if it's cheap enough then I'll get it. Maybe £1.99? Though that's probably wildly over optimistic.
Re: Europe Now Receiving Club Nintendo Stars For All eShop Downloads
Now we just need to be able to spend them on games.
Just been filling out the surveys and come across a few bugs. I clicked to survey "freakyforms" and it sent me to survey "Trine 2". Again, I go to survey "Xevious" and it sent me to "Google map street thingy" instead. I wouldn't mind but I don't even have a WiiU.
Re: Video: Check Out These Three Guild02 Games in Action
I like the look of the first and last one, the ants vs tanks looks a bit rubbish though.
Re: CoroCoro Confirms New Mewtwo Form
Still looks rubbish.
Re: Rumour: 3DS Owners Noticing Software Performance Improvements Since Update
The first track on Sonic and All-stars Racing Transformed seems a little better too (that's one of the worst tracks for framerate issues). The Skies of Arcadia one is still bad though.
Re: Yacht Club Games: Shovel Knight Aims to be a "Next-Gen 8-bit Game"
Most anticipated title of 2013 for me!
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins Confirmed for Wii U
Looking forward to the 3DS game. Will probably get the home console version too.
Re: No Circle Pad Pro In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Because "It Didn't Add Anything"
Well it wouldn't have worked. It may have done for the vacuum, but it would have been really awkward to control the darklight/flashlight and the second circle pad at the same time. I don't have three thumbs.

Re: Square Enix Teases New Projects on Anniversary Website
10 Years.... 10 years of disappointments. Apart from Theatrhythm, that was pretty awesome.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Easter Edition
Luigi's Mansion 2, Devil Survivor Over-clocked, Code of Princess, Monster Hunter 3 U and I still need to finish Paper Mario SS too.

I've pledged my $15 for the 3DS version.
