At first I didn't agree but now I agree because it is not complicated and you have a choice and choices are good.
When it comes to getting a game digital, it really comes down to what the game is and how often you will play it. NSMB2 is tough because it is a game I play like crazy until I beat and get everything from it, then don't come back to it after a while.
Hey Thom, it's ironic you mentioned Animal Crossing and Demon Training as good digital downloads because I was thinking about that yesterday.
I think what would help their digital success would be to do something that if your 3DS got lost or stolen, you could somehow recover your downloads instead of starting completely over.
I think it will because Mario Kart 7 and especially Kid Icarus Uprising will really make a difference. I have a DSi XL and it is awesome. Let's say I wont be surprised if it makes me go Whoa!
I don't mind a couple from Namco but I hope the majority is Nintendo. I have been worried about this game ever sense Namco was mentioned. It is going to be hard to top Melee or Brawl though so will see.
I chose the cards but I really like those posters. So I saved the images of the posters then used the stretch feature in the control panel of my computer and the Skyward Sword though isn't perfect, looks awesome as a desktop background.
lol in the US so far, Gamestop.com will give you a Gold Mario Pin. You will only get it if you order ONLINE! They don't really show you the Mario Pin. It just looks like they cut out the Gold Mario and paste the picture there. Here is the Link:
For the record all Post Play surveys will be ten coins not matter the game. Anything you have registered now will not be deducted. (Which would be stupid for them to deduct your coins after they asked you to do the surveys.) The big 3DS titles you can still get the same value of coins on 7/1 as you do now. Anything that has been released in June will not deduct in coins. (Nintendo Selects Pikmin 2) for example. The e-shop games I don't mine because you only loose 5 coins which isn't that big of a deal. You probably will have 100 to 200 coins per year for e-shop games.
Again, I don't mind the change but it better be like Lost Levels difficulty. The reason why so many people are so down about this game is that from what we've seen there is nothing exciting about it that makes you want to play the game other than collecting coins.
I have to say I put Zelda Four swords on my 3DS and my DSi XL, and the DSi XL barely wins in sound. I was shocked. So to me unless you obviously don't have a 3DS, I think it is a bad move for Nintendo. Don't forget, if somehow they make it to where you can play 3DS games on the Wii U GamePad, this could be a questionable move. I agree completely that this should have been out day one and the $250 price would have seemed reasonable.
Mike I can't believe you forgot Mario Kart Double Dash. As long as they have: Mario Kart Double Dash Super Mario Sunshine Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Luigi's Mansion I will praise Nintendo!
I will be getting this game once I get a Wii U because I always love these games. I have mastered every NSMB game and both are unique. With the graphics upgrade it will really feel "New" life to the series. I just don't know about the up and coming NSMB 2. With getting a lot of lives in that one, it better be like Lost Levels difficulty!
I hope that it comes with the system, GamePad, cables, they should put Nintendo Land. I also hope they put what we need to transfer our Wii stuff to Wii U in there. Now I wonder if they will now sell GamePad's separate. I would like a Pro controller but it isn't a must. I say around $300-400.
