@HeroOfTime: I would highly recommend that you speak with the store manager at your GameStop to ensure that you do get your alpaca plush. They might be willing to save you an alpaca for when you pick up your 3DS copy of the game or better yet give you one when the DS version comes out. Just let them know that you saw the pre-order offer on the GameStop website. Good luck, I hope that you get one.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Aya and the Cubes of Light was supposed to come out today but got pushed back. Too bad, I was actually looking forward to that one.
@TheNintendOtaku: Thanks for posting that link, it was pretty helpful. Now I don't know which version I will be getting. I'm still leaning towards the 3DS version.
Dammit, I want that alpaca but there is no way that I am pre-ordering this at GameStop. I want the 3DS version anyway and I'm getting that one from Amazon.
1. Chrono Trigger 2. Final Fantasy III 3. Earthbound 4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 5. Super Metroid 6. Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World 7. Super Castlevania IV 8. Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts 9. Contra III 10. Mega Man X
EDIT: Darn, I forgot to add Soul Blazer onto that list. Axelay is another great one that deserves an honorable mention. So many great games that made the Super NES such a fantastic console.
I hope that people don't dismiss this game as just a Professor Layton clone. I know I did at first but the more that I see of it the better and better it looks. I am really looking forward to it so I'm going to pre-order it now on Amazon.
If Nintendo ever does become a third party developer then they would be the best darn third party developer ever. I'm not saying that I actually want to see that happen but I would totally understand if Nintendo ever chose or has to go that route. I would still happily support them but it would feel really weird not playing a Nintendo game on a Nintendo console. A lot is riding on the success of the 3DS and the Wii U so hopefully Nintendo will be able to pull it together.
I never played the PSP version but I heard nothing but good things about it. This new version looks like it will make good use of the 3D effect on the 3DS. Color me interested.
Darn, Mutant Mudds is so far away. I hope that Mighty Switch Force isn't too far off but an Autumn release is pretty vague. I can't wait to try out Twinbee in 3D. Oh and Zen Pinball in 3D sounds interesting.
YES!!! I used to own Metroid II but I never completed it because I lost the cart. I never played Super Mario Land 2 but I always wanted to so this is great news for me.
The games that I am most interested in from this list are Cave Story and Star Fox. Maybe SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked but since I already own it on DS I'm not sure if I would be willing to purchase it again even with the extra features. Oh and if I didn't already own all the Bit. Trip games on WiiWare I would have picked that one up too.
Very nice review Thomas. This looks and sounds like the kind of game that I would really enjoy. If this really is coming out tomorrow then I will be sure to pick it up. DSiWare definitely needs more quality games like this one.
I saw a Flare Red 3DS unboxing video on YouTube and it looks really nice. Oh well, I picked up a Cosmo Black system yesterday and I am perfectly happy with it especially since I got it at the new reduced price.
Awesome, I got my 3DS from Walmart yesterday. I already linked my eShop and Club Nintendo accounts. Now I will get free games and free coins. Thanks Nintendo!

I have been waiting for Gargoyle's Quest. I've never played it before but now I will finally be able to. Good update for me!

Re: Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny Crashes In Next Month
I'm glad that this game is finally coming out. I've been really looking forward to it. I will probably pick it up on the PS3 though.
Re: NightSky Coming to 3DS eShop
Awesome news! I will definitely be downloading this on my 3DS.
Re: SEGA's New 3DS Rhythm Game Has the Best Name Ever
I was hoping that this would be another Feel the Magic/Project Rub game. Still sounds pretty interesting though.
Re: Gargoyle's Quest
I'm still waiting for Demon's Crest to come out on the Wii Virtual Console. Unfortunately, that will probably never happen.
Re: Nintendo eShop Cards Make it Down Under
I haven't been able to find these in my area. I hope that they come to Amazon soon.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Assaults UK Top 10
LOL @JayArr! That is exactly what I was thinking.

Re: Review: My Asian Farm (DSiWare)
@LordJumpMad: The way that monkey is holding that banana combined with his facial expression creeps me out.
Re: Review: 3D Classics: Urban Champion (3DSWare)
I for one am glad that Nintendo decided to remake this game. Without it I would not have been able to enjoy this hilarious review. Nice job Phil.
Re: Square Up to Aya and the Cubes of Light on 25th August
This game would look cool on the 3DS.
Re: Interview: Microforum - Kyotokei and the Future of the eShop
If Kyotokei ever comes to the 3DS eShop I would download it in a heartbeat.

Yup, I'm in. I am an ambassador.

Okay, I guess I'll list my own personal Top 10:
1. Chrono Trigger
2. Final Fantasy III
3. Earthbound
4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
5. Super Metroid
6. Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World
7. Super Castlevania IV
8. Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
9. Contra III
10. Mega Man X

Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
I wish that I could play this. Darn you Nintendo of America, why won't you let me give you my money?
Re: Dr. Lautrec Solves the Riddle of the New Trailer
I hope that people don't dismiss this game as just a Professor Layton clone. I know I did at first but the more that I see of it the better and better it looks. I am really looking forward to it so I'm going to pre-order it now on Amazon.
Re: Review: Picross 2 (Game Boy)
I really hope that this game comes to the 3DS Virtual Console.
Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Screenshots Look Good, Don't They?
Wow, this looks really good! I'm impressed!
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August 2011 (North America)
@Chicken_Brutus: Does that mean that you are reviewing Urban Champion?
Re: Sonic Generations Screens Show Mushroom Hill Zone
I'm planning on picking this game up for either my Xbox 360 or PS3. Now I am considering picking it up for my 3DS as well. It is looking really good!

Re: Something Bugs Us About This Centipede: Infestation Trailer
I am a pretty big fan of WayForward's games but this one does absolutely nothing for me.

I never played the PSP version but I heard nothing but good things about it. This new version looks like it will make good use of the 3D effect on the 3DS. Color me interested.
Re: Gamescom Shinobi Shots are Certainly Stylish
I'm not sold on this one yet either. I hope that it turns out to be good. I'll probably just wait until I read some reviews on it first.
Re: More Mutant Mudds Screenshots
Thanks for adding that trailer! This game looks really cool! I can't wait to try it out for myself. I only wish it was coming out sooner.
Re: Let This Tales of the Abyss Trailer Set the Scene
The game looks great but I had to use a magnifying glass to watch the trailer.
Re: Ace Combat 3DS Screens Enter the Danger Zone
Thanks James, now I have Kenny Loggins Playing with the Boys stuck in my head. Also, this game looks better than I expected. I might just pick it up.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword Soars to North America 20th November

Re: First Photo of New Look Wii Console
Um, it looks like a Wii.
Re: These 3DS Download Titles Are On Their Way This Year
Darn, Mutant Mudds is so far away. I hope that Mighty Switch Force isn't too far off but an Autumn release is pretty vague. I can't wait to try out Twinbee in 3D. Oh and Zen Pinball in 3D sounds interesting.
Re: The Last Story and Pandora's Tower Grace Europe in 2012
This news would make me extremely happy if I was European.
Re: New Look Wii Released This Christmas
Ouch, no GameCube support? Wow, I'm glad that I am still rocking my Wii Fat model.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword Hits Europe on 18th November
Excellent, hopefully that means it will be showing up here in the US sometime this year as well.
Re: Super Mario Land 2 and Metroid II Heading to 3DS Virtual Console
YES!!! I used to own Metroid II but I never completed it because I lost the cart. I never played Super Mario Land 2 but I always wanted to so this is great news for me.

This news is actually quite epic! I cannot wait for this!
Re: Furry Legends DSiWare Sent to Lotcheck
When is this game coming out?
Re: Review: Art of Ink (DSiWare)
This game looks and sounds really cool but I don't see myself paying 800 points for it. 500 points would have been perfect.
Re: More Official Details of 3DS Ambassador Scheme Emerge
@carson: Or are they?
Re: Feature: 3DS Games Worth Buying Before Mario

Very nice review Thomas. This looks and sounds like the kind of game that I would really enjoy. If this really is coming out tomorrow then I will be sure to pick it up. DSiWare definitely needs more quality games like this one.

Re: Flare Red 3DS Reaches North America on 9th September
