As a sidenote, I'm able to choose Gold Mario and Toadette in this Mii tournament so be sure to restrict everything next time.

Lol at people claiming mii's are overpowered. Mii's barely come near the stats some of these star characters have. I would actually give props to Camelot for balancing the mii's so well this time. I remember Mario Tennis Open online getting quite ridiculous with the overpowered mii's in that game.

Lol, right when I type this I managed to score an albatross with star Kamek in this tournament. GG peeps, try to do that with ya mii's, lol.

Ended the tournament on -22. Only messed up one hole with a par. Quite happy with the score, I haven't been that consistent with my performance so far so I'm quite happy I went on a roll here. Snagged myself a fourth place for now, though I'm sure I'll end up in the double digits when this tournament ends. Still amazed by that albatross, so sad this game doesn't allow you to save replays.

The roster looks pretty ok to me. Baby Rosa seems like a fine baby addition to me though I don't know what to say about that Pink Golden Peach. Mario Kart usually comes with a nice array of unlockable characters so I'm sure the full roster will live up to everyones expectation.

Anyway, the hype was on a low for me for some time now but this direct skyrocketed it back to the top. This game is looking amazing in every way possible and I'm sure this is a candidate of a game that's gonna last me a lifetime.

I was ready from the very first announcement of this game to drop 45€ on this game so hearing it's 35€ with a 12€ dlc deal that pretty much has as much content as a full separate golf game sounds amazing to me. Let me expand on why I support this dlc offering.

• The base game is a complete package. We already know that the main game features four 18-hole courses and six 9 hole courses, basically seven 18-hole courses, the same number of courses toadstool tour had and more than most arcade golf games (usually six in my experience). I feel like the argument of this being cut content or not is irrelevant because it already well delivers on content.
• Cheaper base package. This game is clearly meant as a full price game, but since golf is a pretty particular sport a cheaper base price will attract more people to buy it while the fans can spent their leftover money on extra content that expand the game far beyond how big the game would've normally been in the first place. Bigger player base + more content for basically saved money seems like a win-win to me.
• It's a ton of content. Render me surprised as to how much content this dlc is offering. Being able to score 6 extra 18-hole courses for 15 bucks? That's like a whole extra full golf game right there.

So yeah, this seems like a dlc outing in the best form yet. Offering a full game for a discounted price with the option to use that saved money on a amazing amount of extra content. The only reason you could complain about this is if you not familiar with golf games and just like to hate on dlc in general, because this deal is just amazing and I'm very glad Nintendo is doing it right. I guess there could be something said about some being day-1 dlc and having dlc characters while the base roster is being small, but those are minor complaints when dlc offers this much imo.

2015... So far away...

Awesome trailer though, can't wait to hunt some more monsters.

Dammit, totally forgot about this game and now you're telling me it comes out tomorrow? Really wasn't planning on throwing money out this months but I obviously have to make an exception for this must buy.

Can't make a new F-Zero? HD remake F-Zero GX then! Add a decent online and a few new tracks and I'll be as happy as I can be. I'll seriously buy a WiiU just for a GX remake alone!

My perfect setup in the near future would be a PS4 and a WiiU, though at the moment I got no urge to buy either of them, WiiU is still missing some good 1st party games and PS4 seems to be missing that killer 'must-have' game. I don't feel that the lack of 3rd party games is going to hit Ninty that hard.

To be honest, I don't think that the WiiU manifesting itself as the second console is a bad thing, Nintendo seems to be pushing itself into that corner anyway. People wanting 2 consoles because they both offer different experiences seems pretty natural to me actually, and since Ninty usually only throws out one good game every month I doubt they'll get hurt too much by people having less to spend on the WiiU because they have 2 consoles.

Pachter Ninty predictions #facepalm

As far as I'm concerned the WiiU is too pricey, neither the features nor the games can convince me to buy it at that price. The promise of games to come is nice but until they're actually here they won't convince to get the console now. The console is nice for sure but offers nearly no new experiences compared to cheaper alternatives now. WiiU might have that gamepad but if barely any game makes good use of it it really isn't a good selling point either. Especially the E3 showed that Nintendo is going in a 'old experiences in HD' kind of direction, something that should come at a lower price in these days imo.

Of course they only say this because a price drop now would be a absolutely terrible timing for a price drop because a price drop around the holidays would have a way bigger impact than doing one in the summer. That price drop will come and I'll be one of the first to take advantage of that.

I have exactly 10 3ds games now so I'll put them in a personal top 10:

10) New Super Mario Bros. 2
9) Mario Tennis Open
8) Star Fox 64 3D
7) Super Mario 3D Land
6) Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
5) Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
4) Mario Kart 7
3) Ocarina of Time 3D
2) Luigi's Mansion 2
1) Kid Icarus Uprising

NSMB2 and Tennis are probably quickly replaced by new titles as soon as they launch but the rest I view as top notch titles so I can't be happier with my 3DS.
Really tried to like Fire Emblem, even though I can see why it's a good game and see its appeal, I just can't have any fun with the game at all. Too bad I have to miss out on a seemingly great series because of my dislike of the genre, oh well.

Here's my current hype list:
1) Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
2) Animal Crossing New Leaf
3) Mario Golf World Tour
4) Pokemon X/Y

Can't wait till Mario Golf. If there are people that really can't wait to play some sort of golf game till Mario Golf comes out, I'd recommend getting Let's Golf 3D over this nonsense.

Well, I gotta say that the xbox just sold me on a PS4. Microsoft just doesn't get it, either just add useless stuff I never wanna use or putting features on it that I'll never get to use since it US only. I still have to get a WiiU first anyway so I don't need neither of those two anyway, but xbox just loved it up for me so when the time comes I'll go for the PS4.

I'll be getting DK in retail. Then I'll receive a code from the 'so many games' promotion for either Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem, still undecided on that.

Cool that they're putting out a X Zone demo, will surely check it out.

Funny, the demo was only around 350mb on xbox.

The demo sucked though imo, it's seemed like they took the most boring part of the game or something, the 3ds demo was way more entertaining.

Can't wait, should be a great addition to the 3ds.

Even if they say it will go to next-gen, it really says nothing about it becoming available on WiiU. The chance of R* putting a game on a low preforming console is just too low, they just don't give a ***.

Good to see the cross-compatibility of Smash Bros mentioned again.
Sad to see he still knows nothing about GBA games for the 3DS.

Other than that, a rather pointless interview, this man is obviously to good at his job to drop any interesting info.

Learn to read the terms guys.

@Beta: Yes
"To take part in the promotion, simply buy any three of the above games (as a boxed copy at retail, a Download Version from Nintendo eShop on a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL linked to your Club Nintendo account or as part of a Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo 3DS XL bundle pack)"

@Koapa: You'll still get the free game.
"To qualify for this promotion, any three of the eight eligible games must be registered since their respective release by 30 June 2013 (23:59)."

Well, this certainly couldn't have come at a better time, got LM2 and MH3U already registered and there was no way I'm going to skip the DK port so that's a definite free game for me if I won't forget to claim it.

The question will be if I either want FE or AC, gonna be a hard choice.

No.

Good idea for a different series, but not Zelda.

Doubtful if I will get this, it feels that there is a big lack of content for a full priced game. Probably will wait for a price drop.

Kinda unnecessary since they are selling those game still fine as retail games. GBA games on the other hand, give them to me now.

Although I didn't care for it in the first place, BAD excuse for leaving it out. I could come up with ten different ways how it could work with mii's in the game, blaming mii's is just the laziest excuse you could give in this regard.

F-Zero GX = Best racing game ever made.

Please let them make a full game, and a GX remake for the 3DS. /wishful thinking

Yes and no. The many Mario games don't bother me, but they could put more effort in bringing out more franchises than just Mario.

I want Mario Golf, not tennis. I still might pick this up though.

I hate it when people dismiss the whole point I was trying to make by only responding to one irrelevant sentence in my story.

I'll just edit that sentence out, to avoid further confusion.

Back in the day, games never got patches. Those were the good old days. We considered glitches as features, ways to appreciate the game even more. But that's not hip anymore, now we spot a bug and whine till we get a patch, that how we cool kids roll these days.

I can't get angered by people that do the glitch while I don't, let them have their fun and let me have mine. I you wanna play normal, play normal. If you wanna win, learn the glitch. If you want everything your way, gtfo and make your own game. Everyone can do the glitch, so saying it's unfair is a invalid statement anyways. Stop whining and join the fun.

@Henmii No. Primera is a little store were they sell magazines and sigarettes (een sigarenwinkel dus). They usually have a rack with all kinds of gift cards, there you'll find the e-cards. Don't bother asking for them though, they usually send you away because they have no idea what you're talking about, just look for them were the gift cards are.

They only sell e-cards at Primera here in the Netherlands, the cards need a special scanner because they need to be activated at the store, and normal game shops don't have those. (make sure the seller scans that card twice, you wouldn't be the first that left the shop with a not working card because he forgot to activate it)

Shame, the game doesn't really need it but still a loss.

@27 MS wanted a month exclusive on Super Meat Boy so expect it late november on Wiiware.

Already bought a point card for this, can't wait to get it on the 20th.

They just need to chop the xbla version so it will fit the file size limit of WiiWare, which is kinda a shame but I'll be getting the xbla anyway so whatever.

Well, if it's a new playable character, it better be a char that you control the same way as Sonic, like Blaze in Sonic Rush.

Still the best racer I ever played, took me months to beat the GP's on all difficulty levels. A 10/10 imo.

This is probably the best thing I saw from flipnote yet.

(too bad the music sucks)

Haha, all the comments made me buy Pinball Pulse (not really buy, traded 2000 stars for 500 points) instead of the game that got reviewed here. I'm loving Pulse though, great table.

I heard the camera is terrible, is that true?

Yeah, they said something like that when making TP too and look how many times that was postponed. I'm not counting on a early 2011 release.

By far the best game on the DS. I guess not everyone will be good enough to play and like this game but it outclasses any on the DS by far so a 10 is the only thing it deserves imo, but I guess that's a good enough reason to give it a 9.

I have a Club Nintendo account and I can view all my VC/Wiiware/DSiware on that account so if they just make the Wii/ClubNintendo and DSi/ClubNintendo connections in-reversible ones and all of Nintendo's future consoles account-based, there should be no problem getting that content again on future consoles. That or a big update for the DSi and Wii to make them account based should do the trick, I guess Nintendo will figure it out by themselves though.

All the hating on the DSi is ridiculous though, we all knew how Nintendo's policies are for a long time so this shouldn't come as a surprice, and for the prices DSiware games are sold, the DSi is still worth it if you're in that kind of software. Stop the hating, trolls begone!

3DS goes xbox live style for free, that's a good thing imo.

Nice for them that they broke a record, although the record of "Largest Handheld Game Console Party" is a stupid idea for a record in my opinion.

I would say that it's a easter egg, pure fan service for the Yoshi fans since he did that in other games too.

SO HAPPY

Just 3 more weeks to be excited for a game to come out, just reading all these great reviews about one game makes me SO HAPPY.

3DS would seem like a new version of a ds, while it probably is a totally new console. A name change is pretty much necessary to not confuse the crowds.

If the next Ninty console offers the same online functionality as xbox live does, I would be happy to pay for it. If my 360 didn't have it's community and great online services, I'd probably sold it a long time ago. If the next console comes with a free headset and big online support as a party chat and big online game support (at least a new Mario Kart and SSB with revamped online at launch), then I wouldn't hesitate to pay 10 bucks in the month or so.

Basically, I want Nintendo to make a 360. Nintendo makes way better games then all the games that come out on the 360 so the 360's online service with the awesomesauce of Nintendo would be the perfect co-op in my book. Of course a free and a paid version would be better though, like in the free version you can find random matches but paid you get a bigger tournament modes and party chat, or something like that.

People forget that Halo Reach will be Bungie's last Halo game.

O.o

Nintendo keeps the surprises coming.

Of course I had to read this just before eating...
