I love this game to death, but I don't feel all that sorry for you guys in having to wait so long because I'm still waiting for Trip World and Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters.
Idea: Take all the ideas that were shot down for Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3D Land. Skateboarding, Donkey Kong & Pikmin cameos, and the cape...and boom! We got us Super Mario 3D Land 2. Why not?
To me, it sounds like they're just talking pretty, when in reality they want to force a type of rarity on Mario game releases so that if you really want to buy the next installment, you HAVE to get the new hardware it was designed for.
"Each Mario game (since 64) has been designed for the console, which is why we only have one per console" or whatever they said, for me, translates to:
"We know you love Mario, and we know he sells consoles. So we're going to make it so that if you want to play another Mario game, we're going to wait until the next console/handheld comes out so you'll be forced to buy it in order to play more."
Swapnote is nice, but it never took away the isolated bubble that I felt. For one, not everybody uses it. For two, it's no replacement for actually messaging a friend that just popped online.
Third, I don't know about you guys, but writing with the stylus hurts my hand.
Just now played it. It wasn't too bad. It lacks the charm of a Mario Kart game, but I did get a little thrill out of it. And quite the arm workout too.
I just recently did a playthrough of the first Kid Icarus for Valentine's Day, and ever since I've been hoping that the sequel would hit the 3DS VC. Well, here it is! Hooray!
Club Nintendo game rewards get more and more disappointing each month.
January: Dr. Mario Express (DSiWare) costs more coins than Dr. Mario RX (WiiWare), yet Express has limited modes and no online, while RX has more modes AND online.
February: Limited to only two choices.
March: Back to four choices, but all four games are unappealing.
Now I gotta wait one more month to see what they'll have. Damnit.
VVVVVV Isn't doing so hot. It's their own damn fault for not including a trailer! VVVVVV is freakin' AMAZING and I really think not having a trailer for it is shooting yourself in the foot.

Re: Review: Excitebike: World Rally (WiiWare)
Just now got this from Club Nintendo. I love it so much! <3
Re: Google Maps 8-bit for NES
Right from the start I figured this was an April Fool joke. But as a retro gamer, this kinda hurts.
Re: Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
Why isn't this in the US yet? Grr...
Re: First Epic Mickey 3DS Screen Shows Scrooge McDuck
This game is gonna be sweet! Remember Duck Tales for the NES? Oh yeah...
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd March 2012 (North America)
I'm getting the Street Fighter II VC with online multiplayer that we've been promised!
Oh wait.
Re: Talking Point: Why Wii U's Image Must Grab Attention
@MetalDragonZero Heck yeah, I remember the Jungle Green 64. I used to own one! Also, Atomic Orange sounds amazing.
Re: Review: Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
I'm a huge Kid Icarus fan. Too bad I can't afford this.
Re: Talking Point: Why Wii U's Image Must Grab Attention
Bring back Atomic Purple, Nintendo!
Best. Color Choice. EVER.
Re: New Frogger Title Hops Onto WiiWare This Spring
This sounds really fun! My most favorite Frogger though was the one for PSOne. Good times.
Re: Dynasty Warriors' Samus & Link Costumes Move Like This
Why can't we just have an actual Dynasty Warriors game on the Wii? Damn.
Re: Mathematics Proves That Mario Games Are Difficult
The first Super Mario Bros. is way harder than the third installment. And the Lost Levels even more so.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th March 2012 (North America)
Nope, still waiting for Street Fighter II WITH ONLINE. Friggin' A, man! When are we going to get this? >.>

Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising Won't be Available from GAME/Gamestation

Re: Review: Super Mario Kart (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
This is definitely my least favorite out of all the Mario Kart games.
Re: Monster 4X4 World Circuit
Just now played it. It wasn't too bad. It lacks the charm of a Mario Kart game, but I did get a little thrill out of it. And quite the arm workout too.

I just recently did a playthrough of the first Kid Icarus for Valentine's Day, and ever since I've been hoping that the sequel would hit the 3DS VC. Well, here it is! Hooray!
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Blasts Past 5 Million Milestone
Best game on the Wii (even better than the second, in my humble opinion), and one of the greatest games of all time!
Re: Review: The King of Fighters '97 (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
Lots of fanservice, I see. King of Fighters must be the precursor to the Dead or Alive series. xD
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th March 2012 (North America)
Why don't us North Americans have news for the Street Fighter II game with online yet? This makes me a very sad panda.
Re: Renegade Kid Teases New eShop Game
I want to play Spanky's Quest now.
Re: Super Mario 3D Land Could Have Had Skateboarding
That would have been sweet!
Spyro 3, anyone? Skateboarding was awesome on the game. ^_^
Re: European Virtual Console Set for Bumper March Crop
@James But when is Street Fighter II with online coming out here in NA? Surely it will be in March also?
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st March 2012 (North America)
Wait. No Street Fighter II with online play? Whaa...?
I'm about ready to cry...
Re: Super Street Fighter II
Damnit, it ain't on the US VC yet.

Re: March's Club Nintendo Rewards Are Up Now
@ShapedAdventure I'd love to go for Pushmo and/or Freaky Forms. I'm also hoping against hope that we'll see 3D Classics: Kid Icarus.

And no Kid Icarus. Man...
Re: Nintendo Japan Reveals Cobalt Blue 3DS Console
I'm satisfied with my red one. Well, almost. I wish it would have a better grip like my DSiXL.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - March 2012
Still holding out for the NA release of Street Fighter II that has online multiplayer. Damn it.
Re: Nate Stehley Looks Happy With His Real-Life Mario Kart
If Mario showed up on my doorstep like that, I'd probably faint.
Re: Team Meat: "We Never Said eShop Limit is 2GB"
I'm still very sore about not being able to enjoy Super Meat Boy on my Wii.
Damn you, Nintendo!
Re: Pokémon Black & White Version 2 Announced
I already dislike Black and White for its monsters and other reasons, no way I'm getting this version.

Re: Feature: 3DS and the Trend of Colourful Handhelds
This is the best color that ever was or ever will be. I loved that GBC.
Re: Wahoo, It's a Mario Party 9 Trailer
Mario Party 8 is extremely dull. Thank god 9 breathes new life into the series.
Re: Super Street Fighter II
I can't believe I want this simply because it will be the first VC game ever with online multiplayer.
Damn, that sucks.
