@MetallicDonkey @P184 Hey guys, I wanted to keep the review as short and sweet as possible (while keeping a few things secret for players to experience on their own), as obviously there a loooads of new features in New Leaf which I couldn't possibly cover in one review.
To answer your question, the Tropical Island does features lots of mini-games for players (and their local/online friends) to experience, such as bug-catching, fishing, ore-mining competitions and matching games. You win medals which can be exchanged for island-exclusive items!
If anyone else has any questions which I haven't covered in the review, feel free to ask me here, I'm more than happy to help!
Oddly this problem seems to be occurring quite a lot recently as @invmat said - often the debug kits the testers and developer/publishers play on shows absolutely no sign of problems, and its only on retail consoles that issues occur, as the case with VLR. Very strange.
I was also really looking forward to this one! Looks like I'll be holding off for a while now..
I feel like Disney Infinity has great potential if 'done right', so it's probably for the best that it has been delayed. Hoping they won't fulfil their promise of churning out a new game every year - sounds like a recipe for disaster.
