Just the Tip!? LOL.

@WaveBoy A good way to forget an experience is to not talk about it every chance you get. Try it out!

@Shiryu It tells us people are willing to spend a few minutes looking at something online?

If your idea was a map full of icebergs, then yes!

It would have been cool if that map's layout was dynamic, meaning the icebergs are always different. They could move around during the battle as well, and if a torpedo hits them they break apart. The battlefield always changing would be interesting strategically.

I would buy this day one. Loved the first one.

Plus they changed up the spawn points, making maps like Hot Springs more fun. Before, staying put and playing defense was smarter on that map. Now, you could be spawned on either side of the wall.

The new map is interesting, too. It's a medium-sized map full of icebergs.

@iphys It is. The kids on Miiverse are all annoyed and saying Nintendo has "lost them as a customer" because they have to use play coins. Of course, they haven't paid for the game at all yet, so using the word "customer" is pretty funny.

I love the update. The play coins thing minimizes team killing immensely because most of the TKers were people who hadn't invested in the game and were using the free version. In fact, I haven't been fired upon by a teammate yet, and that's saying something. I'd say once every four or five matches some free sub user would see my level and take a few shots at me. It made the game nearly unplayable.

All fixed now! I can go to Matched Skills (win streaks count there with the update) and every sub in there is a premium user level 40+. Every battle is difficult and fun now. My win/loss ratio is going to take a major hit, but it's worth it because many matches were decided in the lobby simply based on who had more new players on their team.

@WYLD-WOO What's your name in the game? I assume you mostly play Regional?

I second everything @Noonch said. Making friendly fire damage your own sub would instantly remove the team-killing issue. Also, removing the Level 99 cap would be nice. And of course, friend matches/communities. Such a no-brainer addition.

I can only hope the update was delayed to add some of the suggestions people gave after the initial update announcement was made.

Nice.

Vote for Speed Golf! Let's mix it up.

Just got my first albatross while playing in this tournament. Yay. I posted it on Miiverse.

EDIT: Oh right, I can put the screenshot here, too.

The eshop had some slight aesthetic differences (font size, additional text reading that a game is available for download) after I updated. Don't know if that had anything to do with it.

@Pete-Trax Added you. Mine is 1332-7785-4494

I like the idea of eliminating some choices after they've been chosen.

@KFlow325 "u" is spelled wrong.

Got a -19, which lands me in the Top 20. I really need to improve my putting. A nice feature is seeing the ghosts of members of your friend'a list. You are a monster, @Spoony_Tech

Times like this I wish I cared about Pokemon.

@Emblem pretty much summed it up well. They never should have left out the 3DS owners to begin with--the audience that supports them the most and who were originally told this game was for.

I've used that diplomatic phrase myself when talking to my students.

Nearly Illiterate Student: "So if I take after-school tutoring with you for the next week you think I'll be able to pass my reading proficiency next week?"

Me: "I will make you the best you can be."

Well this is another example of why reading the review actually works! If you read the review, you can tell that for some this game will be quite enjoyable. The reviewer states that he doesn't like Battleship, but then says everything presented is serviceable. If you like Battleship, then this game is likely for you. If you don't like the game, like the reviewer, then there's nothing in the game that will change your mind.

Read the reviews, and you'll be just fine.

@deadaccount It means readers save money to spend on good games?

@Obito_Tennyson Disconnections don't ruin win streaks. They fixed that with the first update nearly two months ago. Only losing or intentionally disconnecting (turning off wireless) does.

@Pete-Trax Yo Pete! Excited for the May update? I'm hoping for some better subs than the Walrus to reward the high level, premium players.

It's sad how many people are hung up on the "pending score" thing. After reading this very thorough and well-written review, I already know what I need to know. Any number at the end is just gravy.

ƒluƒƒy lives.

@Noonch "Must we go tropical?"

Family Friendly Gaming gave this a 71, so you obviously don't know what you're talking about, Phil.

/me goes to Miiverse!

Nice, I was hoping Phil would review this. Sounds about what I expected. but it still intrigues me. I'll jump on it if it goes on sale.

Antipole was a pretty good platformer, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Here's to hoping the majority of the time developing this game went into level design rather than graphics...

Shouldn't have abandoned the platform that housed their strongest supporters (and sales) to begin with. Complete mishandling of the situation, unfortunately. It's too bad because I'm a fan and have supported every game they've released on the 3DS eShop. 3DS should have remained in the plans the entire time.

@Barbiegurl777 "If people on here can talk about the video games I play then it should be equal opportunity for me to talk about other games as well. It work's both way's not one sided."

So much for turning the other cheek.

I'm glad this just went on sale on the eShop. It gave me a reason to look up this review and read it again. Funny stuff.

"After all, it's a well documented fact that nobody in North America has ever even heard of London...and even if they had, it's doubtful that they would ever believe it's a real place."

"You mainly control Oscar Gaebelein, an All-American name if we've ever heard one."

Haha.

HEY GIEZ HE UZES HIS FIST NOT HIZ HED dERP

Congratulations, Tom!

Oh no. Does this mean fewer Senran Kagura Burst articles?

The Wii U may not be sexy, but it has a great personality.

@Philip_J_Reed Actually, I'm first day, paid DLC.

UGH. Come on, NintendoLife.

All right. Got 3 sets of races in, but unfortunately I have stuff to do. I'll leave while on top on the group standings (which will hold up for about 30 more seconds).

Great races, everyone.

@BenAV I think that's what happened.

@Jmvars I agree.

And the award for first Blue Shell victim goes to yours truly.

I'm in there now. I'll be racing for the next hour or so.

I haven't played Mario Kart 7 much at all the last two years, but I think I'll have to drop in for a few races since I have the time this afternoon.

@Galenmereth Nice post. I wish it had come earlier in this conversation.

What a well-thought out point from tbd, and for what it's worth, everyone...she's from the South.

@KarateKid1234 "First Women complain about so little girl characters in games, now, when they get it, they complain more? Jesus..."

LOL, what a spectacularly dopey comment.

More Like Yoshi's Poo Island.
