It's called "3DS Domination" - AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!

These are very nice. But my Legend of Zelda Edition 3DS is all I'll ever need~

Until I decided to upgrade to a 3DS XL somewhere down the line, which won't be any time soon, I'd say. And it'd also be a limited-edition model.

@Yorumi Do it, you won't regret it! I'm taking a Japanese course at the moment (just got done with the first, actually) and I'm only learning it out of the desire to be trilingual. But being able to read content from imported games is also one of those big personal bonuses.

Honestly though, Japanese is a lot of fun. At least, up until you get to learing the Kanji - I've only seen a small handful of the thousands that are used, but it's a challenge to be had for sure.

Excellent video. Gets you hyped for Miiverse, now finally on the 3DS!

I own an original copy for my Sega Genesis (model 3). I haven't played it in forever simply because the video cable(s) I have don't work. Such a shame.

I actually think this title isn't half-bad. Not the best by any means, but not as bad as the article makes it out to be. I've never actually passed the whole game (I'd get my donkey handed to me) on the Genesis version though.

I've never cared for awards shows like this one. I prefer to have my own opinion on games, rather than let some meaningless "awards" judge them for me.

Wii U needs all the attention it can get. Glad to see it's getting a portion of it somewhere that's not here.

Bring on the mask. :3

I think Need For Speed: Rivals looks INSANELY fun. Granted, I've yet to even see a PlayStation 4 console in actuality - much less play one - so I can't really be one to judge just yet.

Also, I thank you for sharing your Xbox website. Though Microsoft is probably my least favorite of the "the three big ones", it's nice to know you guys have all three companies covered in individual sites. I really enjoy all of your articles.

Let the people rage; Reggie is a businessman who knows business, and that business comes first. A lot of fans canlt understand that, apparently.

I simply find it amazing that the Wii U is struggling as much as it is after all of the success the Wii had. You'd think it'd at least have decent sales...

But, I disagree with this man. Nintendo doesn't need their first-party franchises on other consoles. That's part of what has ALWAYS made Nintendo Nintendo.

@MadAussieBloke Oh please, as if Nintendo would put away their money-making mascot for two decades! What world are you living in which would make you think they'd ever do such thing? (Though to be honest, a little break from Mario would be nice after Mario Kart 8 is out.)

Anyway, there's no surprise here. Mario can't do it all alone, especially not in Europe, where other consoles & titles have shown they have more brand power than Nintendo.

@Peach64 "Arrogant"? What did Nintendo do that makes them so "arrogant"? They're a business that tries do to their best to turn a profit every day of the year. Have they made mistakes? Sure they have! But you can't blame them for trying to keep using the Wii brand to continue their former success. It's not about arrogance, it's about business.

Super Mario 3D World will definitely sell some systems, I'm sure, but Mario can't do it alone. It was proven with the release of New Super Mario Bros. U, and I'm pretty confident it'll be proven again with 3D World.

They need to keep the games coming. If they don't, the little momentum that Mario's brought to the console will be lost.

I'm doing my best to stay optimistic for the console.

Gotta re-release 'em all!

@Damo Yeah and over here in México, those commercials have been translated and aired in channels like Nickelodeon. So yes, I'd say Nintendo is stepping up their marketing efforts. :B

I can't wait for it. I'll be able to communicate with friends again like I used to in SwapNote before Nintendo went mommy-and-daddy about it.

I don't remember the last time the holiday season was THIS stacked with so many things gaming. (o_o)

Millions of wallets will shed tears, poor unfortunate souls.

While I do get sick and tired sometimes of all the fan-service games like these tend to include, I won't mind it if the game is good. Some can actually balance all of that crap (Dead or Alive comes to mind, though they're not games of the same genre) and others exploit it to the point in which it just annoys the crap out of me and makes me want to stop playing the game.

'Cause seriously, I know it's just a ploy to get people to buy their game by controlling their inner pants, but come on, it's ridiculous sometimes.

I get a similar thrill when I share games with my little sister — though this little bond is brotherly and not from parent-to-child — and it's great to know that she also loves pretty much all of the games that I used to play 10 years ago. It really is a special thing.

I can't help but feel giddy about all the success the 3DS/2DS have brought in such short time. Not even three years old, and they're the consoles rockin' the world! Haha! Take THAT, doom-talkers! :B

D'awww, reminds me of 90's video game/food crossover commercials. So awesome! :B

It's all so beautiful. :')

Behold the power of Pokemon! :B

Imagine all the lucky UK kids that'll be getting this! I know I'd love a present like this one for Christmas! :B

Woooow. There are always enough people in the world willing enough to make fools of themselves at others' expenses. Except this one, it got him locked up. Good riddance.

Can't blame 'em! This game looks amazing! About two years ago I thought I was sick of Mario platformers, and then Super Mario 3D Land came along and shut me right up! And now we have THIS! Oh man, if only I had a Wii U! D:

I have this master beauty piece of tech. It's so awesome. The only problem with it nowadays is that I can't find many Game Boy games in my swapmeet trips.

But I love it to death.

Shouldn't they have shipped the blue/black 3DS with X, and the red/white with Y? Haha, feel like it would have made more sense.

Colors aside, I hope people over there will enjoy 'em. I know I'd take advantage of the opportunity if I lived there and didn't own a 3DS/2DS yet.

And hopefully, Super Mario 3D World will be the start of the climb that gets the Wii U out of the rut that it's been in for it's first year. If a game that looks THAT awesome can't help the Wii U, I wouldn't know what could. :B

Niiiice. Should make all the newbies feel loved. Good for them. :3

@Arcamenel Seriously? You HAVE to find racism, of all things, in a VIDEO GAME COMMERCIAL?

You see, this is why gamers are not to be taken seriously.

The Wii U seems, unfortunately, set to be the console that'll have the least amount of success. The Wii U will recover, I'm sure; but it's like people say, Nintendo has just done too little, too late for the console to have any major success. I plan to get both a Wii U and a PlayStation 4 in the distant future.

@skjia It makes me roll over in laugther that some people think paying 5 dollars a year is a robbery. You're right, people that are THAT cheap shouldn't be gamers, period.

Hell yeah, 3DS! I hope it's this successful throughout it's entire lifespan! :B

Some have mentioned it already, but even I thought it was an AT-AT. And I'm no Star Wars fan, either. :B

I'll get this game someday. It's one of those rare diamonds, it seems; it's not often here in NintendoLife that a 10/10 is handed out. :B

It was about damn time. I'm ready for this. :3

I know I would... 'cept that I don't live in the US of A anymore.

You're gonna need all the luck the world brings to achieve that.

SUPAH MARIO 3D WARDO TO THE RESCUE. They can't mess the launch of this game, this ain't no New Super Mario Bros U: this is something more unique, for me and for you. (RHYMIN' EVERYWHERE.)

@TwilightV Because Captain Toad is a busy Mushroom Man. MAN!

Eh, Marth has never been a big favorite of mine. But I welcome him back. :B

I don't remember much about going to BlockBuster stores. Over 10 years ago, there was one here in my local area (I live in Mexico), but it was closed about that long ago, at least. It was convenient having a nearby store that you could rent media from, but it went out of business too and shut down.

Oh well though. I have my swapmeets around me. I don't really need any stores.

@Yanchamaru Oh, there are MANY words that Japan borrowed from other languages, with English being the one they've borrowed from the most. I'm studying Japanese at the moment, and it's fun noticing the small details like these.

Also, I had already seen these commercials over at GenGame, but I still can't get over how cute she is. :3

Yeah, this was reported on months ago, I remember it perfectly. I still think it's pointless. If the upcoming games don't do anything for the console, a chart like this sure as hell won't.

@Artwark Using 3D Land as an example for 3D being required or well-used is ridiculous. There are al but THREE little puzzles in the game that take advantage of it. I was actually disappointed with that.

Don't care. All EA-published games I own are at least 8 years old, and they're only a handful, spanning a few of my consoles.

I actually like it's look. Reminds me of the SEGA Saturn! Just nowhere near as big, of course.

THAT... THAT is freakin' SWEET. Reminds me of the whacky old-school Nintendo commercials from back in the day. They did an amazing job with this.

I'd love to at least see one in real life. It looks like a lunchbox. xD
