Considering the fact that I rented Star Fox 64 3D and beat it in a single, hour-long sitting says it all in my eyes. Yes, I know there's a lot more content hidden away in the different paths, but definitely not £40's worth.
I reckon Nintendo should offer a hefty discount for downloads of games that you've already bought at retail, because let's face it, if I've already spent £30 on Mario Kart 7 on launch day, I'm sure as hell not going to be paying another £40 on top, just for the convenience of having it on my 3DS permanently; although if that convenience was made available for a small price - if not absolutely nothing, considering we've already bought the game - would be more than appreciated.
And what happened to the download cards? It's a shame that they're only available in Japan for now, as having retailers set the price, and get a cut of the profits, from retail downloads is a great way to keep everyone happy - both retailers and consumers; and a bigger innovation than Nintendo's been given credit for, in my opinion.
I'll hopefully be able to finish off Grand Theft Auto III on Steam, as well as put a few more hours into Xenoblade, which I'm really starting to get in to after around fifteen hours.
On top of that, I'm finally going to buy Ridge Racer 3D, which I've been wanting to get my hands on for a decent price since launch.
I really hope us Europeans get a Kingdom Hearts 3D demo. I really like the look of the game, although I've never actually played a Kingdom Hearts game before, and I'm not the biggest RPG fan ever, so to be able to try it would be nice.
I've already pre-ordered Super Street Fighter IV, so unless/until a Super Smash Bros. game is released, I won't be purchasing another fighting game; Samus or no Samus.

Re: Review: Brain Age: Concentration Training (3DS)
Good review... err, first paragraph. I lost concentration after that.

I'll be playing through the European version of Mutant Mudds for review. I'm so glad it's finally coming to this part of the world!

Re: Mario Sports Mix Giveaway!
Yeah, I was looking forward to this, but there's no way I'd afford it, what with Skyward Sword, and the 3DS + games.
Oh, and it says 'Developer: Nintendo', when it was developed by Square Enix.
