SuperMarioFan96

Never played the game but a good read and a seemingly very good argument IMO.

Just realized I still haven't bothered to download the demo (I've been busy! ), so I'll do that today.

Crazy to be doing this 5 Christmas's in (or in DS's case.... 7!!!!). Admittedly, 360 actually sold slightly higher than Wii (not DS), but Wii was still up compared to last year..... the month that NSMBW came out!

Also, Donkey Kong was #6 for the month, and that's despite the fact that it was only out for a week and that NPD has begun combining all versions of one game and Donkey Kong is only on one platform. Also, Just Dance 2 was #3 (behind Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed) and Wii Fit Plus was #10.

What.

Honestly, I don't think it's been that bad from what I've played. Oh sure, it definetely needs some work, but I don't think it detracts much from the overall experience.

Oh how Chicken's reviews always make me smile.

I got the game for $3 on the App Store. Pretty fun... probably wouldn't get it again for more money. Will there be additional content or is it just a straight port pretty much>

Ehh, I have '10, there's not enough new in this IMO to make me want to buy it. '10 was good enough.

Oh man, I wish I had this game. D:

Anymore RUNNER is fine with me.

But I want info on FLUX! Or just for it to release now!

Hopefully Sneezies can live up to the iPhone greatness of Angry Birds!!

And 2 Virtual Console games!??!

This isn't even remotely surprising. Japan loves the Wii, Nintendo, and 2D Mario. The DS one has sold over 5 million there, IIRC.

HOLY #$%#$#@%^%#$&^@(!%#&^%&#$%&^@$&%@#&^$%#&@%^&#$%%#^&!%#&

Seriously I don't even know what to say to that. So he's in limbo... er... "Flux" forever and ever?
"A lesson is learned."
Which is?!?
Simply is written twice.... does that mean something?!?!?!?
(thanks Gaijin I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight D:).

Is this the greatest game you've ever reviewed, Chicken Brutus?

I actually very much enjoyed Furry Legends despite its faults. Therefore.... looking forward to this!

Hmmm, might get it. My birthday IS in February so.......
_{Or I could convince my parents to wait and get me a 3DS?}

At first I thought this was absolutely amazing. Like, AMAZING. And it kind of still is. But the levels are often a bit restrictive and the adjectives are under utilized in the main game. However, I still enjoyed the main gameplay a bit, and the title screen (thanks to adjectives) is worth the price of this game by itself IMO.

Great review Zach! And I'm glad this came out so late. If you wrote it within a few days of getting it you probably would have thought it was amazing and given it a 9 (possibly even debating a 10) like I did.

While I wasn't living yet to see this all happen, the GBA version/VC version of Super Mario World have been enough to convince me it's one of the greatest games of all time.

Happy 20th aniversary Super Famicom!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS!!!!!!!!!!

The wait for the holidays will be brutal, as I've posted in about 456 other places on this website, but it will be so worth it once I finally get my hands on this baby.

By the way, Corbie didn't seem to spend as much time talking about the difficulty of the game as other reviewers. I guess they just can't match up to Corbie's platforming skillz!

Anyway, awesome review as usual. I tend to agree with NL's thoughts (particularly on platformers) so I'm sure I will love this.

Hooray! Awesome review! Can't wait to get this for the holidays!

Congrats on getting FATE guys!

EA and Ubisoft are struggling to sell games because they aren't advertising said games. It's not like they don't have the money to do so, they just aren't. Just Dance, and even more so it's sequel, have interestingly been advertised (by Ubisoft no less) quite well.

OMG AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

The wait for the holidays will be grueling.....

Great review James!

I hope the Wii version can be just as if not even more impressive!

@Oregano Gamestop and a few other places are listing this as not coming until the 21st. Don't know why it's different here.

Congrats winners! Even if this had been for the US, I don't know if I'd really want to go to this "sleepover." I would've rather just gotten the game. But hey, it was UK only, so why should I care?

Hmmmmm, MULTIPLAYER?!

If this is something that is not added into the iPhone/Touch version, I might just be inclined to buy it. Although I think touch screen controls would still work better for this game than pointer controls.... will there be multiplayer in the DSiWare version?

Mario=30 million copies sold instantly.
Original="only" about 2 million

Man, Super Meat Boy AND this? Oh well, I guess I can finally get some of those Virtual Console games I was hoping to get months ago..... (and then eventually Sonic 4 perhaps?

@Dragoon They're getting this game free also.... and it's 800 points....

Well, I guess I'll try it out (well put it on my holiday wishlist ), really don't like the Call of Duty games, the Halo games, or The Conduit (although my experience with the first two is limited, so maybe I'm just stubborn?), but I think I'll try this anyway. Maybe I'll like it.

I haven't beaten the first one and have barely played the second. I remember liking them but I stopped playing after not very long for some reason. Perhaps I should go back to them?

Since it's on a ball and not flat square.... how does each box affect the other boxes, exactly? It could make for a very unique experience that perhaps could make this worth owning....

I only read the first 6 words of the title at first and nearly had a heart attack, lol.

Anyway, if it means we get as much content as the XBLA version (and possibly some extras?!) then I would greatly perfer retail $20 full version over download $15 gimped version.

In the article about it on IGN Miyamoto said that they would still use 3D perspective with the 2D games. For example, Bullet Bills may come flying at you from the distance. He said it's been done minimally in past games but it didn't work great because it was hard to judge where they were coming from. Now it won't be difficult.

Meh, I'm already getting Just Dance 2 and Wii Party. I think that's enough for now.....

The Bit.Trip games deserve it just because they deserve to sell a billion kajillion copies. But I don't know what I'D want a demo for.....

@Odnetnin What? You don't think this game will have platforming as good as Mario? Or music that will make you cry? Or cause Mickey to become as iconic a gaming character as Mario or Zelda? REALLY?!!?!?
_{I still think this game will be awesome regardless though.}

I was, despite my insane excitement for this game, ready to post that Warren Spector needs to stop talking because he is hyping this game up WAY TOO MUCH to the point that it's pretty much impossible for any game to live up to this hype, and yet, I watched the video and the music did sound fanatastic. I hope this can be as great as it looks (and sounds! ).

The PS2 stil sees some releases, so why not? It's all a matter of the console's popularity. If it wasn't popular, the company lets it die. If it was, the company continues to support it.

I know they can't raise the limit too high because of the way games are played even if they're saved to the SD card but I feel like they could at least move it up by a small amount maybe to 80 MB? Is this really too much to ask Nintendo!!?!?!?

YEEEEES!

WAAAAAAT?! Corbie put a smiley face next to his "I think there will be an interesting twist in the Super Meat Boy saga" or whatever it is he said. Why Nintendo, WHY!?!?!??!? Your stupid limit is ruining WiiWare! AAAARRRGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!
_{Take it easy, take it easy, take it easy.....}

Hmmm, sad that I don't really care about Call of Duty. I'd like to be able to support them since they're actually trying to make the Wii version good.... (unlike many other 3rd party developers).

HAHAHAHA The one about Animal Corssing, oh man that was hilarious. lol and then the last one.

Oh my goodness that is awesome!

Still unsure but will probably just get it anyway. I've got all the games on VC but.... who cares?

Agree with Starcross. If you check the forums, this game is pretty much being dissected by everyone. Including me. So yeah.

Ubisoft also has Just Dance Kids and that Michael Jackson game coming out this year.....

Once again Ubisoft, look at Guitar Hero. Endless spinoffs with multiple releases each year drove them into the ground.

Look, Just Dance 2 seems like it's actually pretty good.

BUT!
Ubisoft, do NOT milk this franchise to death. You wouldn't want it to go the way of Guitar Hero would you?
