@ThomasBW84 I've been wanting the GBC version for a long time anyway, and I wasn't going to buy it today. I was however booting up the eShop for the 3D version because I was sold on a 2 dollar Toki Tori, I just was waiting for NL's review first to be sure the game wasn't littered with bugs and the coding was held together by duct tape. Not saying the developers aren't trustworthy, but no reason to waste money on a poor game.
@ThomasBW84 Thank you. I was wanting to buy both games anyway, but I couldn't justify buying an inferior version like the GBC game if I owned the 3D version and everything was the same.
@Zelda_Rocks He says that he didn't even know that feature existed, and quite honestly, I believe him. Nintendo didn't have this feature in Mario Kart Wii, and up until he ran into her again, he wasn't interested in Mario Kart 8. Its within reason to say that he wasn't very interested in Online, and as thus, didn't know that feature existed.
@Damo
"...she now wears a top and shorts under her bikini."
I might be misreading this, but doesn't under her bikini mean that the Bikini would be over her clothes and exposed, not hidden under the top and shorts?
Edit: My mistake, I didn't see that the bikini top was actually over her top.
@BarryDunne Most likely the ability to play as Knuckles or Tails isn't included. However, if 3D Sonic 3 & Knuckles becomes a reality, then maybe we can see Knuckles in Sonic 2.
@Dazza I am not the biggest Pokemon fan, but I am almost certain that Mewtwo was #150, and not #151. If I recall correctly, Mew's clone had the irony of being ahead of him in the Kanto Dex, which had 151 known Pokemon.
@joep1984 Actually, in Japan, Dr. Eggman has always been Dr. Eggman. Dr. Robotnik came out of the Western Releases, where names, stories and backstories in instruction manuals were commonly changed to better suit cultures. Starting at Sonic Adventure I believe, the good old Doctor's name to Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik worldwide, but I'm not entirely sure if SA1 was the game to do this.
I'd personally give this game a 7/10. It was the first Star Fox I'd played, so I had no idea what I was missing out on in terms of controls, but the gameplay was solid on a DS.
Fair warning though, later in the game, the game goes on rails all of a sudden and it can be surprising.
@Hachiko @DBPirate They could have easily gone the same route as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
In that game, you could have 4 player Co-Op, and everyone could be Snake. However, in game when looking at your partners, they all look like one of your MSF troops. You would always see yourself as Snake if you selected Snake, but on your screen, your partners aren't Snake, and on their screen, they are Snake and you aren't.
@ThomasBW84 Like @OniinSide pointed out, there is a problem with this part of the update.
Space Lift Danger Panic! (Spring Loaded, €1.65 / £1.29 until 4th June, €0.80 / £0.65 until 4th June for users who have already downloaded Space Lift Danger Panic! with the same Nintendo Network ID - normally €2.49/ £1.99)
How do you buy the same downloadable game twice on the same console with the same NNID?
After "firing" Kojima, Konami became dead to me. I am buying MGSV:TPP, and if they were to remake MG games using the Fox engine, and are good, then I would buy them. Other than that and Virtual Console releases, they are dead to me.

Re: Review: Toki Tori 3D (3DS eShop)
@ThomasBW84 I am confused as to what is the difference between the GBC version and this.
Are all of the levels in the GBC version offered in the 3D version, along with many options not included in the GBC version?
I'm sold on the game regardless, I just want to know if I would be wasting money by buying the GBC version as well.

Notice how the Nintendo Selects were only announced for Europe, and that this is a North American update.

@Koopa-King You replied as I edited. Twice today I've been too slow.
Re: How Fire Emblem amiibo Interact with Fates
@Koopa-King Should they take the Mega Man, Pac-Man and eventual Ryu amiibos away as well?
Sonic might at least have some compatibility with his yearly releases, maybe Pac-Man and his next Ghostly adventure game.
Edit: Completely missed the speed joke.
