I've still got the first issue on my book case somewhere featuring the original DS on the cover, can't believe that was 2006. Remember it being a genuinely great magazine and they always gave some cracking free gifts. Haven't bought it for a few years but I might pick up this special edition.
I loved what I played of Origins via the Xbox demo a while back, but I heard it was coming to 3DS and so held out; platformers work much better on the handheld in my opinion (I enjoyed 3D Land more than SMG2 for example, even though the latter was probably objectively the better game), and it'll be nice to see such gorgeous artwork in 3D. I'm still waiting on Mutant Mudds/Samurai Sakurai.
As someone who has a decent grasp of French, I would prefer to be able to play this game in the language of the country it's set in, for immersion's sake.
Perhaps more 'maps' will be released as DLC... if Nintendo finally do DLC. They've got all these features like SpotPass and Sky 3D streaming, but have yet to nail the basic fundamentals of a good online system like a proper online gaming profile, downloadable content, voice chat, a way to message friends quickly and easily, etc.
It's like building with concrete on mood. Impressive for a while, but it can't hold up without proper foundations.
1up have said that DS games don't look very good on the 3DS, but I think they were being a little pedantic. Do you think you could check and tell us how DS games look on the 3DS? I'm thinking of trading in my XL to knock a bit off the 3DS price, but won't if I won't be able to play my DS library at the quality I'm used to. Thanks!

Re: Peter Molyneux Wants More From 'Lacklustre Wii U'
At least he's speaking as his own man now he's left Microsoft. Now there are no PR executives to hold him back...
OH GOD.

Someone's living the good life.
I just got Skyward Sword for Christmas, this year. Gave what I could afford.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th November 2011 (North America)
Now we just need A Link to the Past, Super Mario World and the Final Fantasy SNES games as 3D classics. Loving this.

What's the 3DS Browser like, anyway?
Better than the DS/PSP one?

Any chance of that?

Re: Art Academy Helps Students Brush Up Their Creative Skills
Those are amazing. But I don't think I could ever do anything close to that. I'll nick my sister's copy of the game later and try it, though.
Re: Art Academy Helps Students Brush Up Their Creative Skills
I could never even draw a proper apple. My artistic abilities are limited... I'll stick with writing, I think.
