Good review. Not worth it for me even though I'm a huge fan. Removing multiplayer was a seriously dumb move. Then again, so is the fact that it's almost like they didn't try to increase the value of this package.
"....if you regularly find yourself in dangerous positions with only a portable games console for company it might be a worthy investment." - Thanks for this line. Was good for a laugh!
Can't wait to see how Libera Wing turns out, and I know Dojo will be great. Too bad about the price hike on MM though! And Flashlight just seems lol-worthy.
Never thought I'd see a review for this game on here! Really good remixes in this game. Great for beginners but now isn't the "best" DDR game for beginners. That so goes to HP3.
Yeah.... way to disregard all the other comments prior to this event that have been asking for it to happen. I'm with Link79, though, I'm not gonna jump for joy over a new KI. Now a new F-Zero is another story.
Actually, I'm leaning towards concurring with WaltzElf despite his lack of appreciation for Gameloft. Although I appreciated the informativeness of the review, it didn't go into too much detail as to how good/enjoyable the game was/wasn't. Would've appreciated that. Otherwise, good review.
Oh boy... This should stand as an example to ASW and even other developers that unplayable controls can completely ruin a game. Great review, it's great that you even considered all the vehicles to check if the bad handling was just one or two karts. I honestly don't understand how they can go from Family Tennis (much improved presentation) and even Family Card Games (online) to this... It's awfully disappointing just when I thought the series was starting to redeem itself. Back to the drawing board!
"That’s right—a special item gives you an advantage by driving for you. Ironically, this makes it the best item in the game because while you are using it is the only time you will be able to actually drive your kart."
Yeah, so it seems. I know there were a few of those in Banana Blitz but it seems like they exploited it more this time, probably because of the way the levels are designed this time.
"Sets the bar too high"? If anything, the GC games have done that. And I doubt the later stages (from what I've seen) are harder than the infamous Ultra Heaven stage from SMBBB. Anywho, enjoyed that review, Sean.
FYI, you can skip the credits sequence. It's just not obvious.
Not so sure if new games will be announced but if so, I'm wagering for a new game in an established franchise, a new WiiWare game, and/or a new Mario Party. I'm more leaning towards release dates of G&W DSiWare, DSi updates such as Mii incorporation and shop gifting/friend exchanges, Virtual Console DSi, and a couple other things I have locked up in my head.

Stuffgamer has a point. Great to finally see more coverage on this game!
Re: Review: Game & Watch Mario's Cement Factory (DSiWare)
Great job, Corbie. Thanks for the review.
Re: Review: Sonic Classic Collection (DS)
Good review. Not worth it for me even though I'm a huge fan. Removing multiplayer was a seriously dumb move. Then again, so is the fact that it's almost like they didn't try to increase the value of this package.
Re: Famous Developers to Create WarioWare D.I.Y. Microgames
Cannot wait. Bit.Trip microgames FTW!!!
Re: Review: Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs - Fight for Survival (DSiWare)
I'm with Sean on this one. This might be my cup of tea but the over-simplicity is turning me off. Thanks for the good review!
Re: Review: Flashlight (DSiWare)
I figured it would be a 1/10 too!

@SoulSilveR: Lol!

Re: Review: 101 Minigolf World (DSiWare)
Oh, I'm sure that's the case, theblackdragon.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th March 2010 (Europe)
Can't wait to see how Libera Wing turns out, and I know Dojo will be great. Too bad about the price hike on MM though! And Flashlight just seems lol-worthy.
Re: Photo Dojo
Looks hilarious. Must get.
Re: Mecho Wars Nearing Its WiiWare Release
Sounds good.
Re: Libera Wing
Looks great.
Re: Review: Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix (GameCube)
Never thought I'd see a review for this game on here! Really good remixes in this game. Great for beginners but now isn't the "best" DDR game for beginners. That so goes to HP3.
Re: Review: Military Madness: Nectaris (WiiWare)
Can't wait till it hits NA. So happy it turned out good. Thanks Sean for your well-formulated review.
Hey Chatham!

JSRF FTW.
Re: Review: Ironclad (Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
This game looks and sounds great!
Re: Want Kid Icarus? Hey, Just Ask
Yeah.... way to disregard all the other comments prior to this event that have been asking for it to happen. I'm with Link79, though, I'm not gonna jump for joy over a new KI. Now a new F-Zero is another story.
Re: Review: Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing (DS)
Gotta get this version too when I can. Great review convinced me.

Glad to see impressions on this game. SO happy it's been confirmed that we are getting it.

Glad James reviewed this. Pretty well done.

Yet another G.G game. I REALLY hope at least one of those games comes our way...

Go Cosmonaut Games!

The game looks better in action.
Re: Interviews: Sabarasa Software and Save the Turtles
Can't wait to hear more about what these guys have in store.
Re: Review: Dart Rage (WiiWare)
Actually, Pub Darts made it on the Top 20 during its first week, I believe.
Re: Rage of the Gladiator to Cost 1000 Wii Points
Excellent! Haven't seen a game priced at 1,500 for quite some time.
Re: Review: Zoo Frenzy (DSiWare)
Actually, I'm leaning towards concurring with WaltzElf despite his lack of appreciation for Gameloft. Although I appreciated the informativeness of the review, it didn't go into too much detail as to how good/enjoyable the game was/wasn't. Would've appreciated that. Otherwise, good review.
Re: Review: ChuChu Rocket! (Game Boy Advance)
Don't worry, a ChuChu revival is happening soon enough.
Re: DSiWare Enters Tie-Break with VT Tennis
Guys, it's coming to NA March 1st.
Re: First Impressions: Fantasic Cube
Had a feeling this one was a good one. Great that you can play online too, I thought it was just leaderboards.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2010
Wow... VC is heading downhill. Hopefully Nintendo starts releasing the stuff we've been waiting for now...
Re: First Impressions: Handy Mahjong
$2 and download play? Count me in!
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd & 3rd March 2010 (Japan)
Hey, Paon! Wonder how their game will turn out.
Re: Yullaby Causing a Fire Panic on DSi
Looks great so far.

^ Loved that line! Ha ha.

Great review.

Great interview and yes, I'm still looking forward to hearing what EnjoyUp Soccer will be like.
Re: Review: Mouse House (WiiWare)
@Koto: My thoughts exactly.
Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll (Wii)
Yeah, so it seems. I know there were a few of those in Banana Blitz but it seems like they exploited it more this time, probably because of the way the levels are designed this time.

Re: First Impressions: G.G. Series Z・ONE
To be honest, I've been itching for almost all of the GG games to come here and this is one of the many that I'd love to get.
Re: Review: Puzzle to Go Wildlife (DSiWare)
Thank goodness! They implemented the ability to use your own photos. Was afraid they miss that opportunity.
Re: Upcoming Media Summit Promises Surprises, Hype
Not so sure if new games will be announced but if so, I'm wagering for a new game in an established franchise, a new WiiWare game, and/or a new Mario Party. I'm more leaning towards release dates of G&W DSiWare, DSi updates such as Mii incorporation and shop gifting/friend exchanges, Virtual Console DSi, and a couple other things I have locked up in my head.
Re: Mario & Sonic's Winter Olympics Outing Shifts 6M
Go SEGA! Knew this would do well, especially given how much more effort they put into this one.
