I'll be picking up several of these! Level 5 is the best dev on the eShop imo. One of the very few willing to put 3D games on the 3DS as well. Don't forget you get 10 gold coins for buying discounted games (it goes by original price)!
I have no evidence (something I wish more people said in this Trumpy world we now live in), but it seems like Nintendo does this to create buzz, and it works.
I don't have a Wii U anymore, but this is one of the few 2D platformers that I really wanted to play. So happy to see it's coming to the 3DS, which I will support like crazy until it's officially dead.
@bluedogrulez The grip has to be included, otherwise there is no good way to play games on the TV. In fact I expect the grip accessory to be what you get when you buy a pack of 2 joy cons. I think they will all be bundled together. At least I think that's how it should be done
Selling the dock and system together at first is the only logical way to go about it. I do hope there is a Pro bundle at launch with the pro controller, 2 additional joy cons, etc.
For this reveal I just kind of want one of those videos where it pans around the CG rendered floating device, with shiny black plastic and zero fingerprints. The game on the screen will be Mario 3D, but we won't get any full screen shots until later.
I'm really excited for this. I love the Mario Tennis series and I'll buy this just for that. Glad they actually put online in this, since a bunch of other games announced today are off my radar for that reason...
@Bolt_Strike Amen. They released a lot of games aimed at kids and families, when really the only people who bought Wii U were hardcore gamers like the ones who visit NintendoLife. There's only about 3 or so Wii U games that I REALLY feel I missed out on, including Splatoon.
I just recently bought a Wii again, and I will say I do love the Wii remote by itself as an ALTERNATE control scheme. But, I absolutely just want a "regular" controller in the box for TV play...
I mean this is good but I sold my Wii U a while ago now. I would have liked to play this, since Darksiders 2 was one of the few Wii U games I had a lot of fun with outside of Nintendo's.
I think I'll finally get Dimentium 3D, and maybe Mutant Mudds. I wish they would put the rest of Moon Chronicles on sale as I've had "Episode 1" for a while now.
Assuming there are enough people playing this to get matches going, this irks me. The people who spent money on this game should be rewarded and not spit on imo. And the type of person who buys this and plays online is probably a hardcore Nintendo fan... If I was a recent purchaser, I would contact Nintendo about a refund because by the looks of it the online component was the only worthwhile part of this game.
@LegendOfPokemon You should check out the DS version. To me it is far superior than playing the OG on N64. It plays especially well on 3DS with the circle pad.
Usually these type of things don't make me feel old, but man do I feel old now. It's hard to believe I was 5 or 6 when I first played Super Mario 64 in a Kmart. I was FLOORED by it. Just jumping around that castle was amazing and I don't know if kids will ever feel that way about a game again. My mom asked me a whole bunch of times "Are you sure this is the game you want with the system?" and I was like "This is the only game I want!!!" And for christmas that year I got a N64
@CreamyDream I'm right there with you, but the problem is the Wii U didn't have enough games. I think people want Nintendo to give in and make a console on par with PS4 graphically or stronger because they are justifiably worried about 3rd party support. I want the system to simply have whatever capabilities most 3rd parties want, because I want to play Zelda and COD/Resident Evil on the same system again ughhh
When I had a WiiU (2 years ago?), this was definitely on my radar. As a decent looking game on Wii U, it kind of has to be or what else would be on the radar? As it stands now I just feel bad for those who only have a Wii U.
Most of the Kirby games look boring and samey to me, but for some reason I am really looking forward to this one. Kirby on NES was one of my favorite games as a kid. I remember picking it up at Toys R Us and at the time they had tickets you got off the shelf that you brought to the counter lol

Awesome. I can't wait
Re: Level-5 is Running a Black Friday Sale on the North American 3DS eShop

Re: Niantic Says Thanks With Pokémon GO Double XP And Stardust Event
Haven't played since summer. The catching mechanic is fun, but the rest of the experience is really lacking imo.
Re: Rumour: Super Mario And Rabbids Crossover In Development For Nintendo Switch
Eh, I'd rather these two didn't crossover, but it doesn't bother me. The only thing that excited me reading that was 'RPG', though.
Re: Rumour: New Version of Pokémon Sun And Moon, Pokémon Stars, Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
I think this is great. I bought Moon but I'll probably buy it on Switch anyway.
Re: Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Now Coming to Wii U "At a Later Stage", Delaying eShop Release
I just hope it comes to Switch. I really liked Darksiders 2 on Wii U during the short period that I had a U.

Re: Budget New Nintendo 3DS Models Announced for North America
Tempted?! The black one is a must buy at that price! I've wanted the regular sized New 3DS ever since it was announced, but had to buy an XL.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd November (North America)
I might get that Ice Station Z game. I like 3D games on 3DS, and this is probably one of the last of them.
Re: Reminder: Super Mario Series Wave 2 amiibo Hit North America This Week
I noticed the Boo one right away last time I was in Walmart. I think I'll pick that one up if any. Every other one feels like it's already been out...
Re: Here Are Your New My Nintendo Rewards
No. Where are the free games?

Re: Nintendo Switch Will Be a Single-Screen Experience
I'm fine with this. Obviously on the go the games need to be designed for touch screen use, or fail. I am going to miss the 3DS though.
Re: Preview Trailer of the Nintendo NX Confirmed for 20th October
For this reveal I just kind of want one of those videos where it pans around the CG rendered floating device, with shiny black plastic and zero fingerprints. The game on the screen will be Mario 3D, but we won't get any full screen shots until later.
Re: Editorial: Reminiscing on Hoarding StreetPass Hits, and Why Any NX 'Portable' Should Keep Them Alive
Absolutely. Any Nintendo portable system should have Streetpass. It's my favorite thing about the 3DS
Re: Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Hits the Wii U eShop on 22nd November, Retail Version Coming Later
If I still had a Wii U, this would be the only game I picked up this year...
Re: Ice Station Z Is Bringing Open World Zombie Horror To The 3DS This November
Oh I'm getting this! Long live the 3DS. F*** NX! lol
Re: Poll: The GameCube is 15 Years Old - Pick Your Favourite Games
I love the Gamecube. I am especially proud of my Wavebird and my Donky Konga bongos!
Re: Mario Sports Superstars Is A Collection Of Five Games In One

Re: Out Now: Eight More Games Join the Nintendo Selects Range in North America
I want that white n3ds. I hate you Nintendo.
Re: Rumour: Detachable NX Controllers Will Offer Wii-Like Motion Control And Advanced Force Feedback
I just recently bought a Wii again, and I will say I do love the Wii remote by itself as an ALTERNATE control scheme. But, I absolutely just want a "regular" controller in the box for TV play...
Re: Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure May Be One to Watch on the 3DS eShop
I love the art style, but I would have gotten this anyway because there's a big lack of 3D games on 3DS, and 3D games look great in 3D on New 3DS...
Re: Gallery: Let This Awesome Nintendo NX Mock-Up Excite You
I really like this concept, but I want a Pro controller packed in...
Re: Lead and Assistant Designers Quit Nintendo Software Technology
I liked the original idea of having them work on more western oriented games...
Re: Listing Points to Darksiders Heading to Wii U
I mean this is good but I sold my Wii U a while ago now. I would have liked to play this, since Darksiders 2 was one of the few Wii U games I had a lot of fun with outside of Nintendo's.

Re: Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 Launches in North America on 30th September
I like physical games so I might just get this.
Re: New My Nintendo Rewards Are Now Available in North America
Poop, I meant to download WarioWare DS!
Re: Renegade Kid Titles Are Going Cheap On The North American 3DS eShop
I think I'll finally get Dimentium 3D, and maybe Mutant Mudds. I wish they would put the rest of Moon Chronicles on sale as I've had "Episode 1" for a while now.

Re: Round Up: First Mighty No. 9 Reviews Suggest The Wait Hasn't Been Worth It
To me the game looks fun, visuals aside. I'll be picking up a 3DS copy after reading the Nintendo Life review.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Key Goals to Ensure NX Success
I like the fact that he says in no uncertain terms that WiiU is on the way out. Thank god, now please put out a system worthy of your namesake
Re: Hands On: Digging into Harvest Moon: Skytree Village
I would be interested if they got rid of the terraforming or Minecraft-lite. I tried The Lost Valley and couldn't get into it at all.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th May (North America)
@SH007ME paying for buttons and 3D is no problem for mee. You hear that Nintendo???!!!
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th May (North America)
Nothing again for 3DS . I should have gotten Zombie Panic in Wonderland while it was on sale

Re: Xenocider is a Dreamcast Game Inspired by Space Harrier and Sin & Punishment, and Could Come to 3DS
I really hope so! I have always wanted more 3D (platformer, adventure, etc) games on 3DS.
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Like to See From Pokémon Sun and Moon?
I would like to see more of the OG and 2nd Gen Pokemon available to catch in the wild.
Re: Unannounced First And Third-Party 3DS Games In Development, States Nintendo
I hope so! I love my New 3DS and Metroid Prime FF is a letdown. It's not even up to par with Metroid Prime Hunters...
Re: Rumour: NX Software Lineup Will "Blow Away" Wii U, Controller Streaming Gimmick "Was Made Up"
I hope she's right.
