Still with that same song, huh? I really hope the other music in this game is a lot better than that...
Gotta say, I can't wait though! I'm almost done with Pikmin 2 ( yeah, it really did take me this long to start playing it ) so another game in that vein of gameplay style may be fun while I'm still in the mood!
Now to wonder, did Nintendo make a mistake to trust third parties at launch and not release their own AAA software ( Mario, Zelda, etc ), or did third parties just lack when given the chance?
I hope Nintendo learns from this, especially since systems like the Gamecube had such a fantastic launch ( Super Smash Bros. game at launch? System seller right there! )
@Dragoon "As for Game Boy Advance games, as predicted they will not feature any wireless functions, so you won't be able to play multiplayer in these games. They also will not support the Restore Point or VC Suspend modes, though of course you will be able to save your game in the same manner as the original release."
I have to wonder if they'll add more features ( Such as layers, among other standard things that art programs come with nowadays ), or if it'll just be a direct port.
Ah, cruel fate, how I wish I could trade my blue 3DS with all my games to a red one.
I'll never understand why Nintendo doesn't launch their consoles in red ( Aside from Virtual Boy ) when their leading mascot's primary color is portrayed as red.
@Link79 It's actually a lot more simple than it may seem at first, and it has a really easy-to-understand tutorial.
On topic, I really wish Nintendo Video would overwrite the "What is Nintendo Video?" with this new CollegeHumor video. I'd like to keep the Bearshark one for a bit longer, too!
Also, I think I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo themselves won't be using this feature, but will rather let third party companies have the option.
I just hope it doesn't bjork or something. I'm so nervous that my 3DS might not count or something, I don't know why, but it's a bad gut feeling. I wish there was a surefire way to tell you were an "Ambassador", like some kind of mark on your home screen or something.
Not of the game getting a six, but of how the review was written. I can't help but think that this reviewer didn't like the game solely because the one-save file.
I'm in the boat with ryanthehedgehog and liammiller18 on this one.
Also, @warioswoods, both ports are pretty much exactly like their XBox Live counterparts, and the 3D effect is basically just layered sprites. Still looks great, though!
I wonder if this would have gotten a higher score if it was less than six dollars. Then again, I wonder if it got a 7/10 even after the fact that it's six dollars.
Making this tempting, reviewer, and so has the 3D trailer. If nothing comes out in a week or two worth buying, this may very well be my next purchase after Game and Watch Gallery.
I really have to wonder how reactions would be if the headline to this article was worded differently. From what I'm reading, they didn't get quite the expected amount of feedback that they wanted. Maybe the audience for this series isn't as big as people think, maybe they just needed a few more fans, or maybe they really are just trolling their fans. We may not know for sure, but I think the headline of the article is really blowing things a bit out of proportions.
Oh well, there would be unnecessary drama no matter what anyway. I just wish some people would think before posting bad about some company.
At first I almost thought this was going to be some suspense game involving murder...
But now I see it's more like Warioware!
I really hope it comes here, but with stuff like swearing and 2:55, they'll either have to censor it, or let it come over with an M rating. Either way, I'll be looking forward to more stuff about this!
@36 Yes, yes it is. Probably the only reason to have the game aside from the multiplayer: To pretend you have a team of Nintendo Superstars!
I'm only following the crowd here, since I never played it myself, but based on this review and from what I've seen from this game, it looks dull enough to avoid playing anyway.
Seriously, Nintendo, is it really that hard to fix up a multiplayer option?
As a kid, I loved anything branded with "Mario" on it. I saw this movie, and I loved it so much, just because it had "Mario" in it.
As an adult, I got a chance to see this movie again a month or so ago. Based on what I remember, I still like it. It's so bad, it's good, and I think people need to see it again if they didn't see all the Mario references in it. Sure, it doesn't resemble Mario & Co. at all, but it referenced the game quite well. It had bob-ombs, bullet bills, and of course, their traditional red&green get ups, even if it's not an exact look-a-like. Hell, they even got those fortress blocks from Super Mario Bros. 3 in it, which I think was a nice touch.
I'm not going to defend the movie, I was just pointing out that it was a little more Mario than people give it credit for.

So yes, you can save.

Re: Review: Pac-Man (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
I still don't get why this is out, when Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions just came out. That one has the arcade version on it.

Re: Nintendo Will Announce Wii U Release Date Next Year
Waiting's not so bad. 3DS is still fairly young, it'd be best to at least let that pick up more steam before the Wii U comes out.
Re: Iwata Writes Open Letter to 3DS Owners to Say Sorry
I feel so loved. :3
Strangely enough, this letter actually makes me feel good. Thanks, Iwata!
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August 2011 (Europe)
Wait, they're releasing Pac-Man on the Gameboy Virtual Console when we just got Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions....?

All in all, I'm so excited!

Waiting in that store for the midnight launch was the longest two hours of my life!

There is an online leaderboard, and it does save your highest score.
Re: Uh Oh, Now Namco Goes for Single 3DS Save File

I believe comment #4 pretty much sums up my sentiments here.

Re: First Impressions: Sonic Generations
I'm with Ryno on this one. I was pleased with the 360 version's demo, and if it's like that it should be fine, even with framerate issues.

Re: Pachter Thinks Nintendo has Superior First-Party Software
Well, yeah. Of course. It's the reason I stick with Nintendo, because I can rely on a majority of their first party games to be really good.
Re: Mega Man Legends 3 Cancelled
Someone needs to make a "Mega Man Cycle" picture similar to the Sonic Cycle, just in case any other Mega Man games are announced, then canned.

Re: The Super Mario Bros Movie Could Have Turned Out Very Differently

Re: First Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Screens and Art Appear
This actually makes me wonder if it's going to be like the RPG game on Taiko No Tatsujin 3 for the DS. That would be neat.
Re: Review: Urban Champion (Virtual Console / NES)
Two stars? What was the redeeming quality that brought it up to two stars instead of just giving it one?
In any case, I gotta love how you could read the review probably longer than you could ever enjoy this game.

Re: Super Mario 3DS Has a Wardrobe of Famous Power-Up Suits
