"ONM 97% (highest mark for a Wii game); N-Gamer 98% (highest ever mark for any Nintendo game in history); NL 10/10 (best reviewers of the lot obviously); IGN 10/10 (they dislike the Wii); Gamespot 10/10 (6th game ever to get 10) Edge Magazine 100% (and they are a very wierd bunch)"
Wow, Galaxy 2 is really that good? In that case, there is NO excuse NOT to get this for my birthday. This looks just too awesome to be true.
I think that they were pushing Pokemon with Diamond. They can't keep making pokemon up forever, and I have no instant attatchment to any of those pokemon (not even the pig). Maybe they should sit down and rethink the Pokemon formula with the pokemon that exist already before they ruin it forever...
My 2 cents. But who knows, maybe this game will be the best of the bunch, despite a few ugly starters.
"Most aggrivating moment: Blooper Racing: I got so frustrated, I kicked my GameCube six feet across the room slamming in into the wall, but at least it still worked after that incident... " Really? I personally loved the bloopers.
Whoa, that was a surprise. Well, if a game ever deserved to be reviewed twice, it was this one. So many memories...
Edit: "I wasn't expecting anything and I loved it. Coincidence?" You might be on to something, this was my very first Mario game and I absolutely loved it. Had nothing else to compare it to.
@Kirk: Hadn't thought of that, however I'm pretty sure it's supposed to have motion sensing, making the head tracking obsolete. (and head tracking would really make the console suck - unless they somehow perfect face recognition)
This sounds cool, only problem, the screen can't be moved a whole lot, you must be directly facing it... even though you almost always would be, it's probably gonna psych me... Cool diagram, first I thought 3D without glasses wasn't possible, now I guess it makes sense... (yes I am a nerd) One more plus, this will make playing roms next to impossible! Edit: One thing I don't get though, is how it can be displayed in normal 2D without separate programming for each game.
I think this would be more fit for a console, still good news though. But how would you implement the touch screen in full 3D? It'd take an enourmous amount of self-restraint for me to not get this. Maybe I'll wait for the 3DSi and grab a 3DS. btw, isn't there a computer program called 3DS max?
Not a big surprise, but pretty cool nonetheless. You can only share with friends? That really, really sucks... could even be a deal breaker... guess I'll just need lots of friends.
Needs a 9. Maybe it is more of the same, but sometimes change isn't always best. I certainly liked this game much more than Super Paper Mario, but it's good that they didn't use the exact same formula 3 times in a row - then I'd start complaning. I do hope they return Paper Mario to what it used to be (more or less).
I've got the Wii version, I mostly use it just to play in Retro Evolved mode. Don't know why, but I like it much better than the other levels. Using the connect to DS feature I got a glimpse of this game, and I think I like the Wii version more (not to say it isn't fun to play the DS version). The audio and graphics are much more polished on the Wii.
I agree that this is affecting the retro market, but after I downloaded Mario RPG, My brother went and got a copy for 70 dollars. So the retro market's not dead yet, people love to have the originals.

Did you say you can unlock themes? Seriously?
Re: E3 2010: Star Fox 64 3D for 3DS
Finally another Star Fox, and it's a remake that half of Wii owners probably already own. Well in the end I'll probably end up buying it anyway.
Re: Review: Star Trek: Tactical Assault (DS)
Not again. Well, there are some good PC Star Trek games, so not all hope is lost.
Re: Review: Discolight (DSiWare)
I'm sure that the money they got from reviewers downloading this more than covers the production cost.

Re: Primrose to Bring Colour and Relaxation to DSiWare
Aaah so relaxing. Doesn't look like my cup of tea though.
Re: Pokémon Black and White Starters are Disappointingly Ugly

It's great, except for the lag I get.

Re: Black and White are the Next Gen of Pokemon Games
I think this is a good change in direction. imo, the name Platinum was starting to push it. I hope they pull it off properly.
Re: Review: Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube)
All this talk makes me want to play it again, after all these years. This time, I will get all the shines!

Re: Round Table: Mario's Past and Future
Mario Sunshine may not be everyone's favourite,
You take that back! What's with the negative reception anyway?
Re: Virtual Console Confirmed for DSiWare
I don't believe I actually fell for that. I need more pranks to keep me on guard, April Fools isn't celebrated enough around here.

Re: Feature: The Making of the Nintendo Virtual Boy
Most of the flaws mentioned here don't seem to apply to the 3DS, so here's hoping.

Re: Nintendo Beaten to the Punch on Wii Football Controller
I hate guys in advertisements who talk like the thing they're advertising is the best thing ever.
Re: DS Successor To Offer 3D Gaming
I think this would be more fit for a console, still good news though. But how would you implement the touch screen in full 3D?

Re: Review: Flashlight (DSiWare)
Hah. And Nintendo actually approved this. I bet it was just so we could have a laugh.

Re: Hands On: Yobo FC-16 Go Portable SNES
I saw him playing multiplayer, he didn't say how, correct me if I'm wrong.
And Starboy's talking about the original SNES (I think).
Re: Hands On: Yobo FC-16 Go Portable SNES
@motang: I'm pretty sure it's legal.
How does the multiplayer work on that?
Re: WiiWare Demo Program Demo Ending This Month
I thought that after this batch, we'd get a new one just after... guess I thought wrong.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver UK Date Announced
Imagine, you're running, it falls out of your pocket, goes clunk, your pokemon's gone!
Still, it seems cool.
Re: Nintendo No Longer Publishing Metroid Prime Trilogy in US
"The sleeve clearly says "Collector's Edition," which, to me, suggests that there will be a non-collector's edition."
Isn't that the original games?
Re: Nintendo No Longer Publishing Metroid Prime Trilogy in US
So tempting... still no.
