Great review @Ron!

I really enjoyed the last game I played from Teyon, which was Heavy Fire: Afghanistan for the PlayStation 3, w/Move. I just might have to grab this .

Sweet! I'm stuck on the last flippin' one any ways!

@Corbs You rock! Just lettin' you know!

@Mickeymac Dude, you need to download Dragon Fantasy. It's right up your alley and you'll get hours upon hours of enjoyment out of it. I can't put my dang iPhone down lately, because of it!

Hahaha... I love KB! I don't care who, or what he's endorsing, he's the man! His E3 speech was Epic!

Downloading this bad boy right now!

Man, my Wii is getting a ton of playtime here lately! Between this, Fluidity and Majora's Mask, my Wii might need an oil change in the near future if Nintendo keeps it up!

Heck yeah I would!!!

@OlympicCho
Oh yeah, you know I'm one to respectfully disagree with others. I can completely understand your point of view, I was just trying to bring a bit of the reality into the entire argument as a whole. It's definitely not all about shooting animals for fun — for many cultures (including my own) it's a way of life. For myself though, I've not been hunting in years. It's too much work for me and the little time I have off, I don't want to spend it hiding in a tree in the middle of nowhere.

I just don't like one-sided arguments, which is how this piece was written. Hunting was demonized from the start, regardless of anyone's cultural thoughts/cares and I personally found that to be quite offensive. Hunters are needed where I live, as the deer population is heavily monitored and if we didn't hunt, they would overpopulate in the matter of a couple of years. Most everyone I know is an avid hunter and I can guarantee you that they're not "murderers."

@OlympicCho Where I'm from, hunting/fishing is more of a lifestyle than a sport. We abide by the rules/laws, hunt on our own land and only take a shot when we know it's going to be a clean kill. Not only is wild game healthier to eat, but a single deer an feed a family for quite sometime — saving you a great deal of money.

It's not all about the kill either. Once you've taken down your game, there's hours of work ahead of you — sometimes miles of dragging the game out of the woods — and then you've got to clean and de-bone the game, just as a butcher would, and get the meat on ice. The next day you've got to slice your meat to your preferences too.

Hunting is work, but when your feeding your family off of game that you've killed, prepared and cooked all yourself, it's not exciting, it's humbling. Yes, some people take it to extremes, but it's like everything else, you can't judge everyone by a chosen few.

No More Heroes and MadWorld are both games that have very little substance and rely on over-the-top violence, sexuality and vulgarity to sell. I personally find both of these to be offensive titles and to be ill-fitting on Nintendo's ("family console") Wii. Yet, they're excused by Nintendo loyalist?!

While I don't agree with the endangered species being involved in Outdoors Unleashed, comparing it to MadWorld and No More Heroes, and calling people hypocrites that don't see them as equally violent is, well, verging on being offensive.

Hunting is a legal sport and the last time I checked, I've never seen a score pop out of any game I've shot in real-life.

Fantastic read @JamieO!

I've got fond memories of playing Sunshine and me and my brother were talking about it just the other day on the phones — it's his favourite Mario title.

Only you could come up with an opening like that Phil!

I was actually quite interested in this one. Thanks for saving me $7 dude!

Geez! This guy is beyond hardcore!

Vector Racing 3D looks really interesting. I'm bettin' them wire-frame graphics will look really nice on my gargantuan 3DS XL!

YAY! Shantae's booty dance will be even cooler on my giant 3DS screens!

Picked mine up with Tales of the Abyss. It's so big!

I wan't a fully touch controlled, 3D Ninja Gaiden on my 3DS XL please!

I'm so very pleased to see that Nintendo is listening to us fans. We love you Nintendo and that's why we don't want the "Mario" experience spoiled, like so many series have become in the past few years — non-Nintendo franchises.

I absolutely can't wait to play this!

This is good news, but also something that I'm very cautious about. As a massive fan of the series — as the link to my review above will show — NG3 was a massive letdown for me. Hopefully this they did realize that the changes they made to the game we're for the best and they really will do as they say and bring it closer to its core gameplay. It's going to take a lot of restructuring to do so, but they can do it.

Congrats guys!

I don't know which one I want to play with first!

Saw this yesterday, but here is another HOORAY!!!!

@19Robb92 @RupeeClock Yes, many 3DS games do, in fact, come with instruction manuals. Just looking at what's sittin' right beside me at the moment:
Cave Story 3D — 31 page booklet and a hologram case.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow Wars — 18 page booklet
Nano Assault — 23 page booklet

I'd say they still come with 'em!

Hey, Level-5! I'd drive my butt to GameStop and preorder this in full right now if you confirmed this for a US release. Just lettin' you know. hint, hint...

I'm not paying full retail price for a digital download if I can buy the game for the same/equal price retail. I quite like box art and manuals, and I'm not paying the same/higher price to not get them.

Looking forward to this speeding across the shark pond!

I voted Mario 64 as #1, and it's not there — rigged!

@Mickeymac If you knew how crazy this list was for us to just decide on what titles are valid, not to mention the craziness that ensued afterwards, you'd know just how unpredictable this list actually is.

@Dark_Oddy_Rises Will do!

That's worrying news indeed. Any noticeable latency isn't good for a console in this generation. Peripherals having latency is one thing, but a console itself could be a very troubling issue. I truly hope Nintendo is one top of this issue right now!

Slaptastic news indeed! This is an instant purchase if it makes a ninja jump onto the NA eShop!

@KaiserGX Ah! I've not gotten my hands on it yet, and was misinformed elsewhere.

@CowLaunch The coins are a novelty. From my understanding, the notion of "getting 1 million coins" is only listed on the game case, and not mentioned in the game.

@ThomasBW84 Remember, my How Japanese Folklore Inspired Mario's Tanooki Suite is a guide to all things tanooki, and is always there when in doubt.

Can't wait to play this on Vita! Well, actually, I can't wait to just play my Vita again! Haha

I don't see why this wouldn't release on Wii U. Vita and Wii U are very similar consoles and I'd like to think that a Wii U port is in the works.

As an early adopter of the 3DS, the XL upgrade would put me at $350 for the 3DS in just over a years time. As much as I'd like one, I just can't reason with that kind of cost for a system with so little coming out in the near future that I absolutely have to have. Especially considering the lack of software for both my 3DS and Vita has not one, but two very expensive handhelds in my home collecting dust. Just can't do it.

@ThomasBW84 GameStop is primarily in the US.

I was at a Gamestop speaking with a friend (employee) about the EU ruling and another worker in there all but got into a knockdown drag out with me over the supposed fact that "GameStop would never sell used media." Of course, he had no idea about the EU ruling, and when I tried to explain it to him, all I got was a massive defense that boiled down to: "Well, that's the UK, not the US. That'll never happen here."

The UK ruling was massive forward movement for the coming digital age. The will bring massive changes to the way digital media is being sold. It is possible to sell/resell media. Yes, there are hurdles to overcome, but so did motion control and you see where they got the Wii!

It sounds like there's a bit of potential that there could be some originality buried inside the game. I hope so, as I've just not gotten excited for this release at all.

@theblackdragon I think quite a few of us have beards too!

@Koos That's not "very well" for such a big budget game, especially with the massive install base that the Wii has.

"your old 3DS"

Why does this just feel... wrong.

@ThomasBW84 Steam lets you preorder full priced new release titles for a 10% discount and Sony's new release digital downloads aren't released at full retail price either. You get a small discount for digital releases on Vita titles and PS+ members can get even steeper discounts on new releases too.

...and it's still a larger 3DS. Not to dismiss his statements, but this is nothing new. Even home consoles are tweaked with newer, cheaper technology as time progresses. While it's not as apparent on the outside, it's hardware is constantly changing, because of the "progress in technology."

I actually do want a 3DS XL, as the small screen size on the 3DS, is quite annoying, now that I've gotten used to the large screen of the PS Vita. But, I do feel that they're trying to over-hype what quite apparent, because it is, just a larger 3DS!

I like the comments on Pachters' articles here on NL, far more than the articles themselves!

Oh... Slappy wants to burn all his toys in a Little Inferno too!

A couple of great ideas, but sadly, I'm not sure if anything of the sorts will actually catch on.

The second arrival of 3D, like before, is quickly fading away. Sony has been the largest pusher of 3D and they've already started abandoning it, as it just doesn't sell. It's not just them either. Go to your local electronics retailer and compare how many 3D TVs they've got available compared to the new LED televisions. Even the theaters in my city are now showing way more non-3D movies than 3D.

I just don't think the 3D in the 3DS is what's sold the system to the majority of buyers — I enjoy it though.

I think I'll just play through Super Mario 3D Land again instead.

Awesome, I hope Ralph jumps into other games as well!

And yet another reason that I should have bought a Japanese 3DS, instead of American!

I never thought there would ever be a chance that Sonic would be Nintendo's mascot, but now...

Bwahaha!!! "Could a Wii U Tablet crush a cat?" Hahaha

Here's another big congratulations to you both @James and @Damo!
