I find the 12.0.3 update's lack of stability disturbing.

Star Wars fans will get what I did there.

@Dogorilla PS5 is humongous, too 🤣

@idrawrobots "Bayonetta 3 canceled" is a recommended Google search. As of October 30, 2020. It worried me for a minute until I saw this article.

Sent from a Nintendo Life app I'm working on

@Bread-Not-Toast Hopefully they won't do what they did at the start of the original Wii life and make you have to BUY the Internet browser (they made it free later on, but it was too late for Mii, little poopy Nintendo-related pun there that only works in text form)!

@lifepsychedelic Emulators (save for the ones Nintendo makes for its Virtual Console service) generally have sound lag, which makes a lot of homebrew rhythm games extremely difficult to play. Luckily, my hybrid self-built SNES/Super Famicom flash cart does not have that problem. I used an SD card reader from my previous laptop (I had to upgrade from Windows XP to run newer Steam games) as the ROM source and adapted my tablet's tranlator app's code to automatically apply translation patches to Japan-only games on the fly. It took me seven months of hard work and nearly fifty prototypes to get functioning properly. It reads SD cards of up to 2TB (the highest SDXC supports, but those aren't out yet).

Anyone else notice the appearance of Ridley and Samus in the unlockable Geothermal Power Plant stage (you have to blow into the 3DS's microphone to make Samus appear)?

@larry_koopa Are you sure your Need for Speed: Most Wanted U disc isn't scratched/dirty? I've had my copy since day one and I haven't once experienced any freezing. I think you might have a disc problem (of course I am one of the few gamers who actually puts their discs in the proper cases when changing). Just a suggestion.

@whitemaskedhero In Excite Truck for original Wii, you can put up to 100 MP3 files on an SD card and either set a song for each course or just have the music randomized during races. The latter is what I do. I just wish you could change the menu music, though.

@TreonsRealm If you want to listen to your own music on PC just mute the in-game music, open up Windows Media Player, put the songs you want in the Now Playing list, turn on shuffle for good measure, and press play! That's what I do in all my PC racing games. Still, in this version I turn the music in-game off so I can watch TV (or listen to my own music) and play the game simultaneously. Although I do enjoy SMASHING (pumpkins; sorry, just had to do a pun there) through roadblocks!

One thing I LOVE about the Wii U browser is that if an HTML5 game is properly configured, you can use the TV to display the same thing as the GamePad and view the game on the TV and tilt the GamePad to control the game and not have to worry about tilting the GamePad so much that you can't see the game. To really see it for yourself, go to https://www.aduros.com/games and tap the Snow Bound icon. WII U RULES! XBOX 1 AND PS4 SUCK BALLS! Plus the browser supports multitasking, so if you want to listen to an album put into a YouTube video you can have the video playing while you do your browsing.

@pc999 F-Zero is a GREAT example of that! WE NEED A 3D CONVERSION OF F-ZERO X! It's already been proven that people can handle INSANE speeds by SpeedX 3D (original and Hyper Edition) of 200+ meters per SECOND! COME ON, NINTENDO! MAKE IT HAPPEN!

@Henmii Just wait until you're about to go to bed and let it download while you sleep. That's what I do whenever I download retail games.

Anyone else think Kirby is the most dangerous Nintendo character because of his deceptively cute appearance and personality? I mean, he can suck his enemies up and either spit them out as stars to take out more enemies or swallow them (I don't know how he can even eat since he doesn't seem to have a stomach) and use their powers!

It's already been proven that people can handle high-speed games on the 3DS since <i>SpeedX 3D</i> and <i>SpeedX 3D: Hyper Edition</i> were released and boy could the 3DS handle those speeds!

Anyone but me REALLY want this game on 3DS Virtual Console with online play so you can actually enjoy a 16 person game of this obscure title? I know I would! COME ON, NINTENDO! MAKE THIS HAPPEN! @nintendolife please pass this along next time you talk to Nintendo.

Since I have a 3DS, I use the Circle Pad. It's not analog, but it makes moving Mario (or whichever character you have out during that time) A LOT easier to control.

@DarrelltheJ You seriously regret buying Mirror of Fate? That game's amazing. I wish I could still play it, but my mother took the 3DS XL I have there and I'm having to re-download the same games because my mother thinks I stole her credit card to buy games when I actually have no idea what happened with that. I should be used to things like that since she never appreciated how hard I worked in high school to get the full MIT scholarship that she wouldn't let me use because she thinks I hacked my grades and cheated on my tests. Half the time I think she is Satan's answer to Jesus.

@Sylverstone You have a point. I wish they gave this game's spot to one that actually deserved it, like, I don't know, SONIC & KNUCKLES?! Seriously, that game NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO A 3D CLASSIC! With how many parallax scrolling layers the game has, plus its blazing fast speeds, HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED? Please say I'm not the only one thinking this!

I was on the eShop for the 3DS today and saw this site's score on the game picture, which surprised me because I've LITERALLY NEVER seen a Nintendo Life score on ANY game available on the eShop.

@DRL I know what you mean. I download games so much that I decided to stop going to Wal-Mart to get eShop cards and just use a credit card.

@PinkSpider Try doing Sonic. It makes more sense since both this and Sonic are speed based.

@Donjwolf If you still live with your mother, use her credit card while she's asleep! JUST KIDDING

@photofool83 Mario Kart 7's transformation system is WEAK compared to this. Just gliding temporarily and sinking in water is NOTHING compared to the ACTUAL FLYING sequences and the boats. Seriously, Nintendo! Look at Sega for a lesson as to how to make a decent transformation system.

@Dbchuck If they do make a video game-based pinball, I'd choose third-party tables from games like Sonic or Castlevania so I can play them on my PC without trying to duplicate them. Mario already has a real pinball machine based on Super Mario Bros. 3 at one of the roller rinks in my city, and that's good enough for me.

@MadAussieBloke That and Mortal Kombat are the 2 franchises that NEEDD TO BE ON THE NINTENDO 3DS IN FULL 3D! Just think: carjacking and organized crime for GTA in 3D and blood-spewing and spinal cord ripping in 3D for Mortal Kombat. Seriously, WHY HAVEN'T THESE GAMES BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR THE 3DS YET? I NEED MORE ACTION AND FIGHTING GAMES ON MY 3DS!

@Sanquine I think we can officially give up on Nintendo remaking Majora's Mask.

@Geonjaha I have so many downloads (91 to be exact; 5 of them being retail games) that I did what any sane person would do and bought a 32 GB SD card so I didn't have to worry as much about how much space a game takes up.

@milkman12 L L

SERIOUSLY? No one else wants Mario's Tennis? I actually have a 3D screenshot of that game on my 3DS and would love to actually play that game!

@GreenDream So, Bakugan's a Robotrek ripoff

@Knux Pick 3DS for one reason: IT'S 3D!

Whenever I play, I generally use the Atari 2600 graphics and sound. The Atari 2600 version of the SMB main theme is playing in my head as I type this on my 3DS XL.

@JeanLuc_Vaycard I'd just save money by using Project 64 and iZ3D to have the game in 3D on my TV. Also, I can use Game Shark cheats without even needing the codes (plus I lost my copy at my stepfather's hunt club and still have yet to download the original).

@Nintendude92 You must have poopsiedoodlecacadoggiepoopledoodoo Internet. I don't experience ANY slowdown on my copy of the game (even at my dad's house where we still have DSL). Are you on dial-up or something that barely supports Wi-Fi?
_{Please watch the profanity — TBD}

@retro_player_22 Not to mention how the NES single-handedly brought the country out of the crash of '83.

@DarkEdi Just download ZSNES from http://coolrom.com/emulators/snes/36/ZSNES.php then download the ROM for this game from http://coolrom.com/roms/snes/6789/Rock_N'_Roll_Racing.php
I recommend using an XBOX 360 controller. To do this, press escape, go to ZSNES's config drop down menu, select input, then assign the buttons. I recommend reversing the A/B and X/Y buttons so you can use the original SNES button layout.

@LuigioverMario You're SERIOUSLY stuck on THAT? You must be HORRIBLE! I got through it on the first try WITHOUT consulting the Internet, magazines, OR other people! You suck! Also, you do know you can pause the game to check the Internet, then go back to playing, right?

@DarkEdi Even though a lot of people would love that, I don't think Nintendo would bring Virtual Boy games to Virtual Console (of course that's what Victoria Justice, who actually is my girlfriend, said about the NES, but she was wrong about that)!

@6ch6ris6 I know, right? The only "phone" I have is an iPhone 3GS and I can't even use the phone function or the App Store, so the only thing I can do besides listening to music (which I use my 3DS for, anyway, due to the 3D interactive visualizations). I even figured out how to put 3D YouTube videos on it without zooming out in my PC browser and holding my 3DS steady (StereoMovie Maker; Google it).

@Windy I think you might be a fellow psychic (although my visions of the future only come in my dreams; I remember dreaming about the Wii U 2 years before it was announced and it turned out to be EXACTLY like my dream)!

Am I the only one who can't connect with this game but all the other games I have work perfectly online?

@Mk_II The one thing that got me so annoyed about Star Fox 64 3D was the HORRIBLE voice acting (which made me sell my copy before I even finished it). I think Nintendo should have just enhanced the quality of the original voice acting and put those into the game.
_{You've been warned before about comments containing advice and/or questions regarding piracy and ROMs here at Nintendo Life. Please stop. There will be no further warnings — TBD}

If you want the game to be even more speedy, go to the Screen Settings in the Virtual Console Menu, turn the screen ratio to Full, and turn the Blur setting to On. Oh, and @Aaronzord, I think @BlackStar9000 means that this game has the quality of 16-bit racing games. And besides, Super Mario Kart has the course map in single-player mode taking up the bottom half of the screen.

@Soviet-Dictator Try plugging it into your surround sound, turning the volume up, and turning the lights off in the middle of the night (3DS simulated surround sound is amazing but not true surround sound but more like true 3D sound).

@Ren Have you considered buying better headphones?

@DestinyMan How would that work on a 2D platformer?

@HawkeyeWii IGN'S reviews are poop! I stopped listening to them when I found their review for Shadow the Hedgehog. Before that game, they were BEGGING for a game where the player's decisions determined what happened in the story, but they shot that feature to hell, saying "Why can't the game stick with one story" and they HATED the guns (which I think made the game more awesome than if they weren't there) They also don't seem to understand that YOU DON'T NEED THE GUNS TO PLAY! Let that be a message to IGN lovers. GAME NEWS IS THE ONLY THING THEY ARE GOOD FOR!

@Game0ver_Gavin Neither am I, but I still bought and love the game (I love pinball in general). Speaking of which, a skating rink in my city has an actual Super Mario Bros. 3-based pinball table.

@retro_player_22 If you go to http://www.yify-torrents.com and have a torrent client, you can download the 3D movie and use Xilisoft 3D Video Converter to convert it to red/cyan anaglyph (if you don't have a 3D TV). You can also use the software to convert 2D videos to 3D.

@winter123 I looked at a few myself, even a 3DSWare one by Nikoli, but $5 for just 1 type of puzzle seemed a bit high when I found this game. It may not be in 3D, but sudoku DOES NOT NEED 3D, so $2 for a total of (technically) 5 types of puzzles made me decided on this game.
