That video seemed a lot longer than it needed to be.
This looks pretty sweet though. Great use of the camera functionality. I really wish there were more games that took advantage of the cameras and microphone.
I believe this to be an exclusive Nintendo party for Nintendo employees only. All others will be turned away at the door. They will be playing classic party games such as Pin the Tale on the Sony exec. and they will have a piñata shaped like an Xbox. Drinks and laughs will be shared by all as Miyamoto arrives inside of a giant 25th anniversary cake. He will burst out, then the real party will begin!
Story of my life, @shinesprite! Fun fact about this NL staff member: Tetris has always been my favorite game, and not a day goes by that I don't see something that reminds me of it.
WHAT? Now it doesn't even come with Mark Kart? These chumps at Nintendo need to make up their minds before I spend any more of MY hard earned dollars on them!
My problem with the anime theme is that it does absolutely nothing for the game. It would have been really cool if there was back-story for the characters, or if they had different traits, or anything at all, but all of that was completely missing.
And you're right, the price is excellent, but that has nothing to do with the actual game itself. It could have been free, but the features would still be the same. I completely understand that you get what you pay for, but at the same time it should be clear that my job was to review the game itself, not how its price point compares to others.
And I did mention the download play feature being there, and being really impressive, but again, you can't base an entire review on one feature.
I thought that this game was a lot of fun. And my girlfriend keeps coming over and stealing my DSi so she can play it. She makes it difficult for me to get these reviews done.

Re: Review: The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie (Super Nintendo)
I had a lot of fun both playing this game and writing this review
Re: lilt line Dubsteps to WiiWare on December 13th
The soundtrack has just the right amount of wubs. This should be good.
Re: Review: We Sing! Robbie Williams (Wii)
This is real? I thought this was some sort of mock-review.

Re: Review: Derby Dogs (WiiWare)
@warioswoods and @Chicken Brutus: What?
And I lol'd at that sweet Derby Dogs banner.

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th November 2010 (North America)
Not even a Discolight joke? Come on, guys!
Re: Review: Paul's Shooting Adventure (DSiWare)
Personally, I preferred the weird pacifier banner.
And I lol'd at "but is this a baby boom or a dirty diaper?"
Great review!
Re: America, These Are Your New Club Nintendo Rewards
I think I might grab that messenger bag. It's actually pretty sweet.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th October 2010 (North America)
Oh thank God. We finally get Flashlight.
Re: Review: Snapdots (DSiWare)
@JohnStalvern thanks a lot for the information! I had absolutely no idea. That does sound pretty interesting.
Re: Red Wii and DSi XL Coming Stateside on November 7th
WHAT? Now it doesn't even come with Mark Kart? These chumps at Nintendo need to make up their minds before I spend any more of MY hard earned dollars on them!
Re: Features: Staff NES Stories
This is really great, guys. Too bad my first was the SNES. When that anniversary comes around, I'll gladly flood you with stories
Re: Mario Anniversary Screensaver and Pins Arrive at Club Nintendo
I just got super excited about the pins, then I realized that 450 is the price for each one individually.
It only hurts a little.
Re: Walmart Leaks Red DSi XL Package for America
Mark Kart? Man, I was really hoping that they'd package this with Darryl Kong Racing.
Re: Netflix Channel Now Available From Wii Shop
Movies? On my Wii? Now I've seen everything!
Re: Review: Learning with the PooYoos - Episode 3 (WiiWare)
To be completely honest, this was the most difficult review I have written so far.
But it was my first WiiWare review!
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare)
@Corbie 7 hours is a little short, but not too bad for a DSiWare game. I'll probably end up playing through it more than once anyway.
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare)
@MasterGraveheart I'm guessing that means you beat it? How long should I be expecting to play for?
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare)
I just started playing this last night. It's an absolutely beautiful game. Definitely worth the price point. And, as always, great review!
Re: Yes, You Can Transfer DSiWare to 3DS
Being able to transfer games and having Miis on the 3DS is a great sign. Hopefully this means we'll finally have actual usernames and accounts.
Re: See 3DS's Menu, Mii Creator and More in Motion
This looks pretty awesome. I'm at work right now, so I had to watch the video with no sound, making it EXTRA hilarious.
Re: Review: Castle Conqueror (DSiWare)
Excellent observation, Qwikman! There is absolutely no explanation for this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13 September 2010 (North America)
Cheer up, guys! At least we've already got two different versions of Altered Beast on there!
Re: Review: G.G Series: Ninja Karakuri Den (DSiWare)
Glad you enjoyed the review, cheetahman. The game is a good bit of fun.
Re: Review: Absolute Chess (DSiWare)

Re: Insanity Grips the DS in Upcoming Shutter Island Game
I didn't think this movie was that great, and it was pretty predictable. I do, however, own a pretty sweet Shutter Island hat.
Re: Wanted: Your Memories of GoldenEye N64
Slappers and Throwing Knives only. In the Temple. Still can't hit Oddjob.
Re: Review: Muscle March (WiiWare)
Muscle March is a great game that has provided me with HOURS of both hilarity and entertainment.
But maybe it's just me who's thoroughly entertained by this sort of thing.
