At least now I know someone else had that DS Lite. Nobody in my school—or should I say, town— had the Dia+Pal DS Lite, so everyone was asking if they were stickers. I facepalmed everytime.
I have the Limited Edition Onyx DS Lite with Dialga and Palkia on the front. It came with a case with Dialga and Palkia on it, and a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon DVD. Unfortunately, I played with it way too much, dropped it way too many times, and now the right speaker doesn't work and the L Button hardly works. Not only that, but a piece broke off exposing some of the insides of the DS Lite and the hinge is broken. I'm just surprised it still plays games.
@Rafie However, Microsoft lets Rare make games for Nintendo's handhelds, as they aren't in that market. Probably why @DaemonSword said 3DS and not Wii U.
@Cowtruck123 Really? On my game, when it crashed on the train boss, the music looped, but the screen froze, and it kept on flipping from a frozen screen to the same screen with the left side of the screen blacked out and with rainbow colours on the black. Not only that, but it's just the game that froze, because I could go to the HOME Menu with ease!
Yay! Canadian! *Starts to hum Canada's national anthem
It would be nice to see a Canadian set a record on DK and then have it featured in the Gamer's Edition of Guinness World Records. I'd be grinning my face off.
@RetroGBHippie92 It took me a day to complete as Clive, but there is different characters to choose from, such as the aforementioned Mrs. Johnson and the **** Mode. (Again, not a curse word.) There is 20 levels (16 when you're playing **** Mode). Note that the levels are the same for all 3 characters. There is also 3 files, and I've used them all up for the 3 characters. So yeah, good bang for your buck!
I will be playing through Gunman Clive as Mrs. Johnson and also playing through the **** Mode of that game as well. No, that was not a curse word, just preventing spoilers. GC is a great bang for your buck!
I downloaded PM:SS from the eShop, but that was because I wanted the free Donkey Kong game. And besides, that decision pushed me to buy a bigger SD card, and I needed one.
"Our review argued that its refined delivery of well established 2D Mario platforming delivered the goods, but there are a number of gamers that seem to regard this release an an underwhelming disappointment."
Anyway, if I have extra eShop funds when I download PM:SS (the only reason why I'm downloading is because of the free Donkey Kong game), I might get this.
Great review. I might get this for my mom since she loves hidden object games (and she racks up 1-hour demos on the computer, so now she can actually go through it entirely).
@HeroOfCybertron The Theatrhythm Final Fantasy demo did have unlimited uses (only in NA), but I'm not deleting it and re-downloading it just to see if it changed to 30 uses.

Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life
I'm used to playing MKWii now (with the bikes and everything) so that's why I kinda sucked...

Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life
Good game @JonWahlgren @Syntax and whoever Michael was!
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life
All right, I'm too lazy to look through the comments. Who's Michael and panda?
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life
Ugh, I had forgotten I had to do something. I'm now waiting in the Races Community. Look for GoldMorgan.
Might be a little too late, but at least I'm in now!
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 Community Rooms - Choose The Rules
@3DSLUIGI What's the difference? The Paraglider and Peach Parasol both have the same stat changes.
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 Community Rooms - Choose The Rules
I'll play. Look for someone named GoldMorgan.
What Mii names should we be looking for to ensure that we're playing with an NL staffer?
I'm a Metal Mario+B Dasher+Red Monster+Peach Parasol user.

Re: Nintendo Download: 14th February 2013 (North America)
Shouldn't the free DKCR3D preview be here, too? Or do video previews not count?

Also, shoudn't this article be a feature? "Features" is a tag, but it isn't a "Featured Article" as it would say at the top. :/
