Despite of all the negative feedback, this article was only written for us to enjoy, not to discuss about any gamer stereotypes. Besides these Ninterviews are actually quite interesting if you read them. However, here is just a suggestion. I wouldn't mind seeing the staff on this site interviewing each other such as how he/she was introduced to Nintendo or how he/she began on the site. If it doesn't happen, though, thanks anyway!
Well, that esculated quickly.
Also, I feel sorry for @Philip_J_Reed. This whole comments section was just a debate regarding about hunting while nothing being mentioned had anything to do with the review itself. Somedays, it must really be a pain to be an editor.
It's about time that LM:DM got a solid release date. This game has been on my wishlist for months now. It's also a good thing that I still have my Gamestop giftcard from Christmas. I may not go broke after all!
$7.99 is a pretty reasonable price considering all of the extra content in this one than in the the original. @RenegadeJools Now, let's just hope that this one will sell more than 10 copies.
I bet that that the graphics will appear to be a lot better once the game is viewed on the 3DS system. Besides, you can never really tell how good a game is until you try it out yourself.
Lucky Japanese! It was only a few weeks ago when they received Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, and now they are already receiving the final game. Oh well, patience is a virtue after all. Anyways, I just hope that both will be released sometime this year but I highly doubt it.
For a second, I thought that this article would clear a lot of things up, but apparently it hasn't. Piracy still can not be justified to me. Either way, I'm still looking forward to ATV Wild Ride 3d and Mutant Mudds 2.
My top two picks out of this list are Professor Layton vs. Ace Attoney and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. My reasons behind this are because, to me, PLvs.AA will be one of the greatest crossovers I'll own, and LM 2 because Luigi is finally getting his much deserved sequel and another spot in the light.
He also asked a poll on Twitter if Mutant Mudds 2 should be on the e-Shop or if a compilation of both the first and second should also be sold as a cartridge. I wouldn't mind owning the combo on the cartridge itself considering I haven't bought the first yet. However, it has to have a fair price first. https://twitter.com/JoolsWatsham/status/286883880374509568
@Windy Yes, Jools Watsham had confirmed it on Twitter that it will have online multiplayer up to four people. Plus, he confirmed that it also has an online ranking leader board. https://twitter.com/JoolsWatsham/status/286275107314364417
These results, at least, seem like they will make the everyone who was complaining before about Kid Icarus Uprising happy, and as usual, I don't have any complaints here! Great job everybody!
Happy New Year to you as well James! Thanks for all of the great times throughtout my short stay on Nintendo Life. May you succeed in all of your projects throughout your occupation at NoE.
This was quite a great list from the beginning to the end. Plus, at least this one shouldn't spark heated debates unlike yesterday's post. Also, I will agree with most of the others that the forum section was a pleasant surprise. Though he may not be working on this site any longer, @James will still be missed. Finally, I'd personally like to thank all of the staff for making this site so great from the ones who started it to the ones who joined this year.
I can't really complain with these rankings. To be honest, I haven't played most of the games that made them except for the ones on the 3DS eShop list anyways. Now, I will say that Kid Icarus Uprising was a magnificent game with all of its voice acting, humor, and replay value, but however, in terms of controls, it is a little wonky, especially to the left handed players. As far as PM:SS and NSMB2 goes, I can't rant or complain about their placing only because I haven't played them. With that said, instead of this list infuriating me, it has only encouraged me to go and purchase more games!
I'll probably just wait until Crashmo comes out next week. However, I'm a little dissapointed that the AT demo wasn't released today even though I already have the collector's edition pre-ordered.
I have still yet to see it, but when I find the time to, I will finally watch it and then play Miracle Mask afterwards.
Also, welcome to Nintendo Death @HuntheUniverse.
It's 5 now. Back on topic, I pre-ordered the game at Gamestop after I learned that it came with a great pre-order bonus. Not only will I'll be getting the sweet collector's edition, but I'll also be receiving an Adventure Time lanyard alongside of it.
Since every Professor Layton game always is filled with an incredible plot and amazing graphics, I'll will sure be picking this one up on launch day. If the game somehow dissapoints me (which I highly doubt), then at least the daily downloadable puzzles will justify my purchase.
I find it ironic when he says that the DS didn't have a lot of a great games, yet in the background there is a Pikachu and a Professor Layton hat plush.
Since I play a sousaphone in marching band, I know that this entire performance was a long, hard process that required a lot of teamwork and concentration. The music and the choreography was all in synch to create one of the best halftime shows I've ever seen. From watching this video, I can only hope that I'll become as good as the players in this video. Good job OSU marching band!
Unfortunately, I never finished Pushmo because I traded my 3DS in for my 3DS XL without performing the system transfer. From what I completed of it though, Pushmo was a fantastic eShop game that is is truly worthy of a sequel. It may not be right away, but I plan to pick Crashmo up sooner or later.
@KneehighPark Welcome to Nintendolife.
I have yet to play an Ace Attorney game, but I guess it's never to late to start here. Then I'll at least know how the gameplay in PL vs. AA will turn out.
First of all, thanks for this great and well detailed article @GazPlant. On a side note, I do hope that the series will move over to the Wii U just as long as it is still published for the 3DS. Furthermore, I'd love to see another movie or two even though I haven't watched the Eternal Diva yet. As far as the IOS, it doesn't really interest me, because it wouldn't be the same and there wouldn't be a storyline compared to the DS/3DS series. Finally, I do hope that the series continues. The Unwound Future just gives me so much anticipation for a sequel.
Maybe it's just where I live, but I haven't seen any of the series here. I could have also easily overlooked them too since I'm unfamilar to the series itself.
I've never played any Phoenix Whright game mainly because they haven't been released in the west. Since this one may not make outside of Japan, I can only hope that Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Whright will.
I'd like to let all of you know that the series may be coming to an end, but it's been said that spinoffs can be expected.
EDIT: Sorry that the link isn't working. Copy and pasting it in the address bar should work however.
I, being the fan of the series I am, was really looking forward to a sequel to the Unwound Future. Now, I'll just have to think about why this series had to come to an end so soon and why Level-5 doesn't want my money.
I just bought my brand new red 3DS XL today at Gamestop for $100 off today only after trading in my 3DS. I really wanted to purchase the blue one, but it was already out of stock. I'll be alright though. I'm just thankful that the offer was official.
I'll be getting this, possibly Adventure Time, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask on October 28, and PL vs. AA whenever it's released. My collection may be small, but soon it will start to grow. All I have to say is, "Take my money."
It looks like I won't be getting this since I only have 245 coins. Besides, I'm still waiting for the KI: U AR cards (if they ever appear) and for the mario hat case to return.

@Kylo As of now, I can completely agree with you. Hopefully Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney and PL 6 will top this one, however.
