I cannot for the life of me see how these games will benefit in any way from being on 3DS, but whatever.

Space is a big loss.

+1 for the Dark Knight reference

I have concluded that the cards are worthless pieces of garbage that I will just stick in a drawer somewhere and never touch again, and while the posters are equally worthless pieces of garbage that I will just stick on a wall somewhere and never touch again, at least they're shiny and I can look at them.

And yeah seriously, I can't fit any more Nintendo posters on my walls. And I already have a superior deck of playing cards courtesy of Brawl in the Family.

This just got philosophical.

Anyway, to quote a song, I feel like the one losin'.

Since this list isn't alphabetical, then BIT.TRIP being first should tell you something.

Between Digitally Downloaded's review and this, looks like I'm buying.

Even if that were in the US, it wouldn't sway me from buying digital.

Has anyone seen The Pirates! Band of Misfits (or The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists in the UK)? Not up to usual Aardman standards (read: perfection), but still a great movie.

Nice! I'll read it in a bit, but that's a pretty high-profile interview.

@VincentV I am just now reading this, but yeah, that's fine. Actually, I was just saying it doesn't make sense to say, "This game is overpriced at $8, but it's reasonable at $5." Like, either it's a good game or it's not. I can totally understand if you can't justify it at a certain price though; that's subjective and circumstantial and doesn't comment on the quality of the game.

@PixelatedPixie I'd be surprised if you saw this, but it is amazingly fun. I'll be making a thread about it when I have time if you want more deets (does anyone still say that?).

Oh, I've used BASIC.
_{i think, maybe}

Thanks for the honest review, Chicken. I was seriously hoping for this game to turn out even better than it did, but it might still be worth the buy just to support the future developers of Mutant Mudds 2.

Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers all the way!

I love how knocking $3 off a game's price suddenly takes it from "way too expensive" to "reasonable". Either it's a good game or it's not, and since VVVVVV is most definitely a good game, it's worth it at $5 and $8.

Having said that, if eShop had gifting I would totally buy this for some friends.

Da-da-da-da

I start to think, "Is this really worth it?" Then I imagine BIT.TRIP and MGS running in 3D on this thing. What this means is, as long as it has a CPP XL, then I'll be upgrading to it when my 3DS doesn't work anymore. I'll still be buying a PS3 and even a Wii U long before I get an XL, but it's still on my priority list.

"Maybe not as nimble as Mario"
Is that a fat joke?

@Swiket Hey, are you on NeoGAF? Because I think someone on there said that.

Nintendo is a liar.

"Blue also very nice"
lol

Not that this would ever happen, but I love Amazon, so this would be cool.

@Tasuki Probably because this name makes it more likely that it will sell well.

Just found this in the IGN review: "The Gold Bricks are these little challenges inside the greater world that keep you on your toes and have you trying out the more than 50-character roster that includes the Flash, Hush, Martian Manhunter and more."

I am so getting this.

EDIT: Just realized MM was in the launch trailer. Oops.

I think I'll get the PS3 version someday.

WHY WON'T THEY REVEAL ANYMORE CHARACTERS?! My purchase depends heavily on the inclusion of Martian Manhunter.

This image would've worked a lot better, especially given the tagline:

Not that this is actually from the game, of course.

"Disclaimer: non-Nintendo games and products are mentioned. Read at your own risk!"
Traitors.

@grumblegrumble For the record, I called it "a fun little puzzle game," not "cheap" in any way, considering it's a relatively expensive 3DSWare title but a great value for the price. Assuming you realize that I own the game, as I stated in the post you're referring to, the graphics and game play mechanics are exactly why I call it that. Sure, it's an enjoyable experience that's absolutely oozing content, but the graphics and mechanics are very simple, in service of that experience. There's nothing memorable or lasting about the game, unlike VVVVVV and Mutant Mudds, which are built on atmosphere and deep game play.

VVVVVV wins, that much is clear. Why Mutant Mudds isn't counted a close second is a bit of a mystery to me, though. Going off of the other 3DSWare I own: Pushmo should be quite a bit farther back, as it's a fun little puzzle game, but nothing more. Sakura Samurai and Kid Icarus probably don't deserve spots if I think about it. And once Cave Story, NightSky, and Bomb Monkey show up, they will dominate the list next year.

The End.

BREAKING: Nintendo announces partnership with Apple.

@chiptoon Don't shoot the messenger, but here's an interview explaining why they chose to force both players to be on one screen: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/07/behind-the-scenes-of-new-super-mario-bros-2

Downside of new comment system: it seems we can't report comments anymore.

SOUND CAME OUT

@Bob Curious: does best look best, while high streams better, and low streams even better, at the cost of quality of course?

@Creed78 Have you set the quality to "best'?

Oddy Thoughts™:
I'm going to eat dinner (cucumbers with dressing, pork, and sweet potato fries) and try memorize lines for the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I'm going to be in, all while watching the conference. Should be fun!

Oddy Thoughts™:
The conference was a boring blah-fest except for the 3DS games, so if this is just more of that then it should be pretty awesome!

GUYS IT'S SILENT

Also, real-time comment updating it so dang cool!

Hi James! I'll be watching here 'cause real-time commenting!

This looks awesome, but I won't feel too bad about not getting it since NSMB2 should be a fine substitute.

Wow this conference was boring, 2/5.

But on the bright side, real-time comment updating is awesome.

What the heck was up with Nintendo Land?

@Viceroy_Khaoz You, sir, are psychic. How did you know?!

Another link, just for fun: http://andriasang.com/con1b5/nintendo_nikkei_denial/

One of the best reasons I've seen to buy a Wii U so far, apart from Miiverse and Rayman Legends exclusivity. Oh, and Runner2, if that gets confirmed.

Don't give up hope on 3DS:

@James Glad you liked it. I think Nintendo really wants to erase our memories of last E3.
