Just wow, never felt this wowed by the look of a Mario kart, each new course looks awesome and original. By original, I mean it seems to deviate from the usual Mario kart formula of a Mario circuit, Luigi Circuit, Snow-themed etc. Only 4 new tracks left to show and 2 of them are a Bowser Castle and Rainbow Road.
Thanks to this guy and Next Level, I am getting a 3ds. Luigis Mansion is one of my favorite franchises. It not a Zelda or Mario to me but its up there.
Not one racing stage look average. ALL look Great. Bone Dry Dunes looked the least impressive to me though. Sub Coaster and Toad Harbor look the best to me.
Well this is cool. I hope they release a sequel to Wii sports resort as It was one of the best games on the Wii. This sequel would have online and it be cool if you could walk, bike, or even drive around the island.
I hope they market this better that Mario Tennis Open, that game was so unheard of and took me a while to discover. This may be my only 3ds purchase, as I'm getting SSB on Wii U.
I was expecting this to wow people but I was wrong, had this gotten a better score, I would have bought it down the road. Only handheld game I may get this year that isn't at Christmas is Mario Golf.
Would be Awsome if they put the wii dhop games on the Eshop, at least the main ones, they would probably have to mark that it isn't compatible with the Gamepad.
Very glad that spiny shell is back. It puts other racers at risk other than the flying one only hitting the first place person, it just makes it seem a bit more fair.
@Guitardude7 I am not a ninty whiner, but I totally agree with you. Brother has one and I was so unimpressed by it. One of the worst console upgrades I have seen, can not say to much to the Xbone either. Wii to Wii U just like any othe Nintendo graphic upgrades, but then again, the Wii graphics were unimpressive in some cases, especially when comparing a Wii COD to a PS3 COD.
Work on a Metroid and then F-zero down the road or vice versa. F-zero could also use a 3ds title. To be honest, I prefer a F-zero than a metroid but metroid is the best decision.
The Wii wheel is my primary controller for MK wii. I know quite a few people dislike it but it works perfect for me. I kinda didn't like the waggling but eh. It looks like a cool addition to a per-order but I already have two.
Tempted to watch... Idk all the doom from this game brings me down, like the sales... Did people really think this would boost Wii U sales, all systems sales went down and that is ignored. Anyways, I will play this game non-stop on day one.

Re: Mario Party: Island Tour Makes Japanese Chart Début at Number One
Good for Wii U, hope it maintains, but that's raising expectations. It is one weird sale increase.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Major Wii U Retail Titles Can Benefit From More eShop Trials and Demos
I can imagine MK8 getting a trial or Mario Circuit or GBA Mario circuit.
Re: Weirdness: The Legend of Zelda's Master Sword Appears to be in PS4-Exclusive inFAMOUS: Second Son
Awsome Easter egg.
Re: The Wait for Mario Kart 8 Is Filled With Sunshine in This Week's Course Update
@AshFoxX
That and Rainbow Road 64 would make the game legendary.
Re: The Videogame History Museum's GDC Nintendo Exhibit Was Full of Retro Delights

Re: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Scoops Best Handheld / Mobile Game at GDC Awards
Nice to see mobile games not win as they are no where near on the same level. Nice to see Dark Moon in there too.
Re: Real-Life Mario Kart Event Brings a Community Together in Japan
Pikachu? Only other franchise I see entering Mario Kart that isn't Mario or Donkey Kong is Kirby and Kirby alone.
Re: Talking Point: Super Metroid's 20th Anniversary Reminds Us Of What We Are Missing
Might download soon, it seems to have the best SNES as neither Mario and especially Zelda impressed me.

A sequel to Wii sports resort with Online.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Pre-Orders from Amazon Japan Get Sweet Mario or Rosalina Playing Cards
I never cared for Daisy, and Baby Daisy was unneeded. However, I do care for pre-order bonuses. C'mon NA!
Re: Yoshi's New Island Makes UK Chart Début in 12th Place
I'm sure the games not stunning but it should at least be a 7 in most cases.
Re: Here Are Two More Mario Kart 8 Courses to Enjoy
Not one racing stage look average. ALL look Great. Bone Dry Dunes looked the least impressive to me though. Sub Coaster and Toad Harbor look the best to me.
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life
I'll be getting MK7 later this month, maybe next month.
Re: Infamous Series was Originally Inspired by Animal Crossing
I still wonder why and how Animal Crossing is so popular. It's basically #2 to Pokemon in sales.
Re: Wii Sports Club: Golf Adds Resort Course as a Free Extra
Well this is cool. I hope they release a sequel to Wii sports resort as It was one of the best games on the Wii. This sequel would have online and it be cool if you could walk, bike, or even drive around the island.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Positive February Sales in the U.S. of Bravely Default and Tropical Freeze
Finally... some good news. DK is selling pretty well and moving hardware, don't know why people whined at its launch sales.
Re: Video: New Mario Golf: World Tour Footage Shows Off Cheep Cheep Lagoon
I hope they market this better that Mario Tennis Open, that game was so unheard of and took me a while to discover. This may be my only 3ds purchase, as I'm getting SSB on Wii U.
Re: Review: Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
I was expecting this to wow people but I was wrong, had this gotten a better score, I would have bought it down the road. Only handheld game I may get this year that isn't at Christmas is Mario Golf.

Won't get this till late March.
Re: Super Mario McDonald's Happy Meals Hit the Flagpole in the UK on 19th March
Inspire kids to get healthy? I have no problem with people promoting to get fit but they overkill, especially you Michelee Obama.

iOS? Don't even bother writing something like this next time.

Ugh... Can't they put nicer games for higher coins.

This is cool and all but how is this News!?
Re: Super Mario 3D World Picks Up SXSW 2014 Best Multiplayer Game Award
This game also has some really good music, nothing like DKC TF's but worth pointing out. Way to go on another great 3d mario game.
Re: Electronic Arts CEO Discusses The Company's Plans For Virtual Reality At SXSW
I would hate this, I did not mind the motion controls because they actually worked, but I would hate this.
Re: Extended Nintendo Network Maintenance on Wii U and 3DS Scheduled For 13th March
Would be Awsome if they put the wii dhop games on the Eshop, at least the main ones, they would probably have to mark that it isn't compatible with the Gamepad.
Re: Mario Kart Arcade GP DX Now Available To Play At Dave & Busters
@unrandomsam
It would compete wIth MK8 and hurt its sales, maybe release it a couple years after its release.

@Melkac Seriously?
Re: Tortimer Island Confirmed as a New 3DS Stage in Super Smash Bros.
@Gold I've noticed that too.
Re: Valve's Gabe Newell Thinks Super Mario 64 Is Just Swell
Favorite mario game? 3d World. Followed by 64. But we all know that from an overall view, that the Galaxies are best.
If I were to list five best I would say DK 64, 3d World, Luigis Mansion, WindWaker or OOT, and SSB Brawl.

Very glad that spiny shell is back. It puts other racers at risk other than the flying one only hitting the first place person, it just makes it seem a bit more fair.
Re: Dedicated Video Game Platforms To Remain Nintendo's Core Focus, Says Iwata
I seemed to wonder why they promote Wii Fit U so much, and this may be...sadly...why.
Re: Dedicated Video Game Platforms To Remain Nintendo's Core Focus, Says Iwata
@ferthepoet You really think that would work? Thats far too much of a basic approach. No one will buy a new system for an account system.
Re: Latest PS4 Sales Figures Take it Past Wii U Life-to-Date Q3 Total
@Guitardude7 I am not a ninty whiner, but I totally agree with you. Brother has one and I was so unimpressed by it. One of the worst console upgrades I have seen, can not say to much to the Xbone either. Wii to Wii U just like any othe Nintendo graphic upgrades, but then again, the Wii graphics were unimpressive in some cases, especially when comparing a Wii COD to a PS3 COD.
Re: Let's Gaze With Admiration At Five New Courses for Mario Kart 8
Voted Toad Harbour. I like them all except for the sweet one.the newer stages, and the airport are the real highlights though.
Re: Retro Studios Talks Up Wii U And Has Been Working On A New Title Since November
Work on a Metroid and then F-zero down the road or vice versa. F-zero could also use a 3ds title. To be honest, I prefer a F-zero than a metroid but metroid is the best decision.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Director Koichi Hayashida Explains The Origin Of "Miyamoto's Teachings"

Re: Diddy Kong Confirmed as the Latest New Challenger for Super Smash Bros.
@Ichiban Diddy is not that much of a secret. But if they reveal people like Falcon and Ness, then that's when secrets are spoiled.
Re: Retro Studios Outlines "Symbiotic Relationship" With Nintendo Teams
@LUIGITORNADO I agree, but maby a map. I find touch screen use of hurting enemies a bit cheating.
