Apparently I'm the only one, but I think the Game Boy Advance Super GnG version is by far the best, having the whole SNES game along with levels from the Genesis and others in the Remix mode + cartridge save!
I'm also disappointed that it doesn't utilize the 3D. I'm assuming they either didn't want to put the extra time and effort into adding the effect (considering when it started development, I'm sure it wasn't originally designed with the 3DS in mind), and/or they felt that both screens should have the same look because they're both used in the exact same way with the near constant switching between the two. They probably convinced themselves that it would be too distracting for the player to switch back and forth so quickly from 2D to 3D.
I don't agree with that reasoning though, and considering the game is a 3DS eShop release (not DSiWare) - plus the fact that people who do feel that way can always turn down/off the effect with the 3D slider, it should have been added for all those who still want it.
The only good excuse for no 3D effect in a game (released for the 3DS) is if it's one that uses the gyroscope in every play mode, or requires you to turn the console on its side.
If there's no differences between this and the SNES version, other than the fact that this one's inferior, why wouldn't Nintendo release the SNES version on VC?
This is one of the very rare cases when I agree more with IGN's review than Nintendo Life's. They gave it a 7.0, and GameStop gave it an 8.0! The only other time I can think of, that I disagreed with a Nintendo Life review this much, was when Wario World was scored 5.0...

@Nintenzo and @Ralizah
Clubhouse Games is just the better name for the same game mentioned in the review - 42 All-Time Classics (PAL version).

Re: Review: WordJong Arcade (DSiWare)
@LEGEND_MARIOID: Have you or anyone else played both this and the retail version yet? I was hoping for a comparison...
Re: F-Zero AX Found Hidden In GameCube F-Zero GX
Any videos online of that tilting arcade machine?
I'm also curious about SonataAndante's question (post #77)

Re: Baten Kaitos Origins
@D33G
It's much more than decent, and way better than the first Baten Kaitos in my opinion...
Re: Review: The Magic Obelisk (WiiWare)
Does anyone know why this was removed from WiiWare?
When it happened (August '11) Game Arts never gave a reason why, according to this old news update: http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/08/08/wiiware-loses-the-magic-obelisk

Or at least offer them both?
Re: Review: Outdoors Unleashed: Africa 3D (3DS eShop)
@Nintendawg - Oh please! If killing humans in games is acceptable, then so is killing animals.
