Huh... at first I thought this would be an iOS game for sure but you guys are right, it has 4 in the title which would make it far less likely. Great news anyway! 😎
@HollywoodHogan umm.... Australia had as many guns per person when the Port Arthur massacre happened. They were banned straight after and not a single massacre since. When there is a precedent like that already set there really is no argument. The rest of the world is watching America in bemusement.
I really like the devs of Super Meat Boy and the game looks so so awesome... But sorry, despite it's potential to sell really well on Nintendos consoles, Team Meat have never released the game on a Nintendo console. No vote from me!
This was the perfect introduction to the DS for me. I must have played the single player mode for a thousand hours - I never touched the multiplayer. This may be my favourite Mariokart ever (it's still the best handheld Mariokart ever), though it hasn't aged extremely well.
We had a Sega Master System growing up and I grew to love it but the first system I ever owned, all to myself, was the Origanal Gameboy with Baseball; it was love at first sight and I've never looked back. Yoshi's Island, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gera Solid... so many great console games have defined who I am and yet, handhelds have always been the systems that really make me happy beyond compare.
3DS has had a pretty average year. Looking at that list of games really puts it into perspective. Bravely Default gets the vote. Shovel Knight by miles as far as Eshop goes. Miles!
Mariokart 8 for Wii U because what, 7 (?) months later I'm still playing it regularly. It really has captivated me longest. Plus, even my PS4/Xbox1 playing mates can't get over how gorgeous it is. 2nd is DKC: Tropical Freeze. It may have overtaken DKC2 as the best in series, it really is brilliant. People seemed to forget it pretty quickly but I think it's an underrated, supurb gem. 3rd would likely go to Bayenetta 2 but I haven't played it yet. It looks stunning and huge! Instead I'd give it to Smash - What a year it's been for Wii U if I'd consider leaving Smash off a top 3 list!
If you were asking which is better I'd probably explode. I have been asking myself that since forever and there is no answer. But since you're asking which is more influential, well that is easy - Super Mario Bros 3 should win by a landslide!

Re: Mario Kart Super Circuit Arrives on the Wii U eShop This Week in Europe
I have the GBA cart so not for me. It's a super impressive Mario Kart as far as graphics and content go, but it's not a good Mario Kart unfortunately.

@Nintendian No matter how digital the world gets, toys will always be in fashion. Toys that give digital rewards... I'd say Nintendos onto a winner.
