@Spoony_Tech @WinterWarm You make a fair point; I should have mentioned that the face buttons work to control the flippers as well. I always gravitate towards the shoulder buttons for pinball games (even if slightly less comfortable) but obviously not everyone will!
As a note, I did play the game on an original 3DS, although I'm not a fan of how things look on the XL either way.
@Gen0neD And you've tried turning the wireless switch off? That seems to work for most people.
@LeVideoGamer The decision to give the game a 4 was mostly due to its quality. The concept is absurdly simple, but the execution is admirable. It could have been a lot worse.
@Tasuki Yes, it's not something I'd go out of my way to pay for either, but I was surprised with the overall quality. For most people I think the prospect would be... dicey. (Please send help, I can't stop the puns, they're after me.)
@MegaWatts Ha, thank you! Casino puns are dangerously easy to come by. Far more addicting than the whole gambling thing.
@TheItalianBaptist Thanks for pointing that out; I meant to address it in the review but apparently forgot entirely. You have to use boring old face buttons rather than motion controls or the touch screen, but it works just fine.
@Dpishere I 100% recommend picking up Kirby's Dream Collection. Not only does it include six great games, but the bonus features are excellent (not to mention the physical soundtrack). You'll be a veritable Kirby expert by the end!
However, my heart lies with Kirby Canvas Curse. It doesn't play like your usual platformer, but it's an exceptionally well made game. It's what the DS was made for!
@A-Hungry-Baker You summed up the whole article in three words!
@zipmon Clever! Shipping the Pokewalker overseas beats tying it to a bicycle any day.
@GreenDream I am thoroughly impressed with your depth of knowledge on this subject! I wish I had enough time and space to include all that good stuff-- especially the Pokemon Snap kiosks.
@Pikminsi I did that with a plastic Pokemon figure once. Psyduck learned Whirlpool!

Yay!

@RR529
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to play the other 3DS entries, so I can't compare them with Star Wars Pinball.

@Platypus101
Thank you! I am, admittedly, a little proud of that one.

@Kyloctopus I'm with you.
Re: Review: Wakedas (3DS eShop)
@sinalefa I believe it uses yellow, blue, green, orange, and a pinkish shade of red. Hopefully that helps!
Re: Review: Star Wars Pinball (Wii U eShop)
@Tethers Although I haven't tested any of the other games, but I should mention that I had some trouble getting leaderboards to load. A good point.
Re: Review: Star Wars Pinball (Wii U eShop)
Thanks, it fills me with significant joy to know people appreciate bit of punnery! I agonized for about ten minutes over that one.

Re: Site News: Nintendo Life - AKA Mario & Luigi - Runs for GamesAid
Beautiful.
Re: Review: Gummy Bears Mini Golf (3DS eShop)
Phil? Should I buy this game or wait for the new 3DS Mario Golf game? I'm really undecided and it's tearing me apart inside.

Re: Review: Kirby's Dream Land 3 (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
@The-Chosen-one I'll echo Luffymcduck on this one and say Super Star is the finest "traditional" Kirby game. Here's my review for it, in fact! https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/kirby_super_star_snes

Re: Review: California Super Sports (DSiWare)
@mystman12 We should probably form a Waluigi support group of some kind. Although my twelve-inch purple-capped friend was a gift, I believe he came from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Super-Mario-Waluigi-Around/dp/B005GLM12S
@BigBluePanda I was tempted.
Re: Review: Crazy Construction (3DS eShop)
@Eisenbolan You can pick it up for $4.99 in the North American eShop.
