I've gotta say that this game is pretty darn awesome... after playing it for 2 solid days, I've gotten to level 4 (normal mode, I don't like easy since it gives the ultimate power-ups all the time). If I had to choose one game in my DS collection to keep, it would be this one. I recommend it to everyone who loves a good challenge.
TP was good, but it didn't leave me feeling like "omg this is the best Zelda EVAR". It seemed like another standard Zelda adventure to me, which is good in some ways and bad in others.
All these sudoku games... I've got Brain Age, and about the only thing I use it for is Sudoku. I HAD PLENTY OF SUDOKU BEFORE THE DSI WAS EVEN ANNOUNCED! ENOUGH SUDOKU!
There's so much on my to get list I'll probably end up never getting this, cause I don't have other Excitebike games to push me off the edge. Looks good though.
I never noticed any bad graphics, either I just don't care as long as it doesn't look like MK64 or they're actually good. Definetly better than DD, anyway. But yeah, I don't like some items like POW and blue shell, but I thought that thundercloud and bullet bill were great additions. The Wii Wheel feels great to use, I never tried the GC controller but I imagine it would feel the same as it did in DD. And where did special items go!?! There are really only three characters, each with eight variations that look a bit different. EDIT: I didn't know at the time that the characters did have differences. Sorry! Still, I'm having a great time with this game. Although this game won't make me throw out double dash as Brawl did with Melee, it's still somehow super-fun.

Re: Online Mario Multiplayer May Happen Down the Line
Obviously this'd be with friends only if they support wii speak, and it could probably work out. No chance for strangers, though.

Re: Review: Landstalker (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)
Two years and not one comment... it looks great too. I'll have to try it out.
Re: Review: ToeJam & Earl (MD)
This looks... bizzare, to say the least... I'll pass.
Re: Merry Christmas from Nintendo Life
lol, I don't think I was that crazy when I got my wii.
Re: Review: Shining Force (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)
Awesome, I love fire emblem. Looks like a must have for me.
The sale really is working for Sega, I may never have heard of this game if not for that.
Re: Final Zelda Flipnote Released
It's really the last one?
Re: Celebrate The Holidays With Cheaper Sega Virtual Console Titles
Augh, now I wish I waited to get Gunstar Heroes. Might look into the rest though (except sonic, never liked him).
Re: Nintendo Download: 21 December 2009 (North America)
I can't say it was a bad update, but honestly I can't think of what I want to get...
Re: Review: Starship Patrol (DSiWare)
I too was wondering about the Enterprise... where'd you get that picture? More importantly why is it here?
Great review as usual.
Re: Its-a Me! Fungus Mario!
Awesome, Fungus Mario! Maybe we'll see him again in SMG2.
Re: Legend Of Zelda TV Series Hits Hulu
I can't believe I summoned the courage to watch all that... god that's horrible...
Re: Review: Blaster Master (Virtual Console / NES)
I'd never heard of this game before!
Re: Twilight Princess "Starting Point" for New Wii Zelda
TP was good, but it didn't leave me feeling like "omg this is the best Zelda EVAR". It seemed like another standard Zelda adventure to me, which is good in some ways and bad in others.
Re: New Zelda Advert Takes Different Track
That pic I clicked on was very misleading...
Re: Megaman 10 Heading to WiiWare!
AWESOME
Re: Pop Island
Reminds me of Capture the Flag from Tribes 2... I couldn't possibly enjoy this game while thinking of that.

Re: Review: Master of Illusion Express: Mind Probe (DSiWare)
I clicked. Master of Illusion, huh? Scrolled down. O.O HAHAHA knew it!
Now to actually read the review. The world would be boring without bad games, wouldn't it?
Re: Review: The Urbz: Sims in the City (DS)
Hmm, that's a bit low in my opinion, I'd give it 7. Also, I likes the Sims Bustin out which is very similar to this game.
Re: WiiWare Demo Program Proving Successful
Guess this means they'll keep it going. Yay!
Re: Hardware Impressions: Nintendo DSi LL
If it doesn't fit in my pocket, I won't buy it.
(Not that I was planning to anyway )
Re: Nintendo Download: Pokémon, Shootanto, All Time Classics, Army Defender, myNotebook and UNO (EU)
Army Defender is really all I'm jealous of.
Re: myNotebook Applications Get Release Dates
Wow, look at all the tongues.
Re: myNotebook Applications Get Release Dates
No thanks. Why not use a notebook?
Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
How on earth did I forget it was released today!?! Nice review!
Re: Telegraph Sudoku & Sakuro
Oh, god...
facepalm
Re: Review: Excitebike: World Rally (WiiWare)
There's so much on my to get list I'll probably end up never getting this, cause I don't have other Excitebike games to push me off the edge. Looks good though.
Re: LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
Cool!
Re: Rare Pokémon Found at US Toys 'R' Us Stores
Nice try, but that isn't enough to get me to buy Platinum.
Re: UNO
If it was 200 points it would probably suck.
Re: Simply Sudoku
I predict that... no one will buy this.
Re: Review: Bomberman Blitz (DSiWare)
Doesn't look worthy for my first bomberman. Looks like it's Blast for me.
Re: Nintendo Download: Fighting Street, Bomberman, Sudoku, All Time Classics, UNO and a Double Dose of Monkeys
Hmm, maybe I should finally give bomberman a chance...
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo (GameCube)
I've got to try this out sometime.
Re: Miyamoto Talks Zelda With MotionPlus
@frutas: Oh, I thought you meant an improvement, like DS Lite.
Re: Miyamoto Talks Zelda With MotionPlus
@comefrutas: Why would there be a wii 2? There wasn't a NES 2, SNES 2, N64 2, GC 2...
Re: Miyamoto Talks Zelda With MotionPlus
Well, I sure look forward to an improvement over the mindless wiimote waggling of TP.

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (28th Oct)
Is this the beginning of the end for Contra?
Re: Japan to Receive Widescreen DSi
Oh, sorry Prosody I just want it to actually have buttons, I mean, how would I play that!?!?
Re: Japan to Receive Widescreen DSi
I just hope it doesn't look anything like the picture!
Re: Review: Combat of Giants: Dragons - Bronze Edition (DSiWare)
I played the demo also, I thought it was bland. I'll be skipping this one.
Re: Review: Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem (WiiWare)
Aww, I was hoping this would be good.

The NES version looks a lot better.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy (Virtual Console / NES)
