From what I've heard, it's better to play this game in short bursts. I'll pass 'cause that's not my style. I really wanted to get this game but it really seems like it'll become repetitive... Animal Crossing got boring for it's repetitiveness and I'd regret picking up this game if it had that same problem too soon.
Help! ANYONE! I don't know what to get! Armillo, Mario Tennis, Bombing (not typing in the second part )!!?? GAAAHHH!! They all seem really good!! HURRY UP AND SAVE THE DAY NINTENDO LIFE!! D'X (kidding, take all the time you need).
I can't reply to Dakota directly for some reason... ANYWAYS!! Were the micro transactions for purchasing items or... what? I feel like all the Denpas are the same... (I've only played the demos for 1 & 2, didn't even bother with 3 so I can't really say for sure)... Doesn't cod do the same thing every year but mix it up a little? I guess it could maybe apply here (unless if the demos weren't accurate representations of what is actually in the game).
I feel like the demo was WAAAAY too short but it is a demo... It was also a bit tame but after hearing from others that you'll have to go through a couple hours or so before it picks up, I'm back at Square 1 (a little better than that but whatever).
@DefHalan That's up to you to decide, how much you enjoyed the game before is your answer. You could also just try the demo to see if it holds up too your memories.
I was ready to go see the "copy" but this honestly seems different from Animal Crossing. You might as well say that Animal Crossing is a copy of Harvest Moon. Of course all I've seen of Castaway Paradise was this video but it looks fun and different enough from Animal Crossing.
Hmmmm.... Which one(s) should I get you guys? I've got 370 coins (loaded currently) I could get both Kirby's but if I get Mario Party 2 then that'll be it. Maybe I should only get 1 Kirby or maybe nothing at all? (Not planning on getting Plankton after what he does to the Krusty Krab ).
@DakotaM47 Kirby's Dreamland IS good imo, it's simple but it's good so don't be hatin' (unless if you've already played it and didn't like it which is fine cuz ur opinions and all).
R.I.P. My Wallet. After 2 and a half long years of fighting N.G.O (Nintendo Gaming Overload), it has unfortunately passed away right after the Treehouse Event... X'D
In all seriously AWESOMENESS, ZELDA U, SPLATOON, SMASH, CAPTAIN TOAD, AMIIBO FIGURES, AND ALL OTHER INSANE AWESOMENESS!!!! THANK YOU GOD!!! THERE'S STILL EVEN MORE TO BE SEEN!!! AMAZING WORK NINTENDO!!! KEEP IT UP!!!
@OneBagTravel That's your opinion, bro... MM is up there in the top 3 zeldas I think. Like someone else stated above, one does not simply choose a favorite Zelda game XD
I appreciate Mr. Guillemot's honesty as I hope the rest of you guys at least should. PLEASE GOD HELP NINTENDO COMPLETELY ROCK THIS E3!!!!
EDIT: By the by, What's BG & E2 anyways?
I can't really vote here except for Wii Sports Club (thanks trial offers), but what I did play of Wii Sports Club Golf was kinda cool and seemed like something that could last so I voted for that. The others don't seem appealing to me really. Oh wait! I forgot my brother downloaded Dr. Luigi but it's a Dr. Mario compilation with added features and it isn't exactly that fun to me.
This doesn't seem like it'll hold my attention for long and I already have a life simulator on 3DS (New Leaf) and even that one had a lot of repeating elements which turned me off from the game.
EDIT: Anyone who's looking for a more blow by blow of how the game actually plays should head on to youtube and check out gamexplain's Game&Watch videos.
Off Topic: Speaking of Animal Crossing, I felt Wild World to be better but it could just be because it was my first game... I felt like Wild World had more soul than New Leaf. I really feel like the characters were a bit blander in New Leaf in comparison to Wild World.
This update seems fantastic to me because as stated above removes the trolls and actually gives playcoins a bigger use. I've always been hoping for some cool way to use playcoins like unlocking characters, weapons, (Super Monkey Ball 3D and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D are great examples of this) or to play a specific game.
I've gotta say 2011's E3 was my favorite surprise because it was the first E3 I actually watched and knew about, an army of AMAZING looking 3DS games were announced (maybe they were announced earlier, idk), and the Wii U was shown off with Chase Mii and Battle Mii (I think that's all I saw of the Wii U at that time) which instantly made me want to get one IMMEDITATELY!! I remember those exciting times when I got my 3DS in July or June of that very year. OH YEAH! I don't even think I knew about the 3DS until that E3 so it will always hold a spot as one of my favorites I think.
@SavoirFaire Oh ok, thanks. Could you please answer me this though? How much does spin boost affect the gameplay/flow of the game and are there a lot of opportunities to utilize it (lotta G-defyin' sections)? I appreciate you giving it to me straight Savoir.
@Zombie_Barioth ahhhhhhhhhh!! OK! Thanks for the clearin' up! In that case yeah XD, maybe it would be better to have more memory but they'd need to balance out cost and total memory. Is HDD that much cheaper though? Wow!
Can someone please tell me that this game is worth getting? (Serious question and I'm actually longing for an answer). I've played EVERY Mario Kart to date (except 8 of course) and it seems like 8 doesn't add ANYTHING besides the spin boosts (Don't care for Mario Kart TV as it isn't part of the racing and anti-gravity doesn't seem to do anything but look cool in the replays). I was really hyped for 7 before it came out (and it actually seemed to have added more stuff than 8 like gliding, underwater racing, and custom parts) but it only took a few months before I was already looking for another game, which led to my purchase of Kid Icarus Uprising in March of 2012 (probably in my top 3 3DS games and I've played most of the big titles). What I don't wanna do is buy $60 HD DLC because I'm looking for new gameplay experiences, not the same experience I paid for a few years ago in a new coat of paint even though the tracks, music, graphics, and items look AMAZING!! Please! ANYONE!! Restore my faith in the Mario Kart series and show me why Mario Kart 8 is worth my 60 Washingtons!!

Doesn't Denpa 3 have an option to spend real mullah?

@DakotaM47 It's not that there's 3, it's just that there's about 1 a year. Maybe less than a year.
