I really hope that the graphics displayed in this trailer are an indication of how this game will look on the Wii U. If it is then it is extremely impressive. This game looks incredible! I can't wait to play it!
I am very excited for TwinBee. I really hope that it shows up in our eShop update this week. Never played Cut the Rope before but it does sound interesting so I might give that one a try.
Great review! I'm still waiting for my Nintendo points card to arrive in the mail so I can hurry up and download this game. Really looking forward to playing it for myself!
Thank you for the review Corbs. Very helpful! I'm glad that I held out before ordering a copy from Amazon. I decided that I am going to get COMPLETE instead.
All that bonus content sounds really cool but I'm going to buy only one of these two games so it will have to be the 3DS version. Now if I could only find a store that actually has it in stock.
I'm actually willing to give it a chance. It might turn out to be pretty beneficial for Nintendo in trying to lure more third party developers to bring more games to the 3DS and to give us gamers more and hopefully better control options. I just hope that it is comfortable to play and that it remains optional, not mandatory to play certain games. I would also like to see Nintendo utilize this accessory in the upcoming Kid Icarus game.
To the people saying that you don't have to buy this: I think it really depends on if Nintendo and other developers will be making games that utilize this new peripheral. If this is just for Monster Hunter then people who don't want it can just skip out on it, no problem. However, if this leads to a redesigned 3DS system with a second analog stick then our current 3DS will become obsolete and we will either have to upgrade to the new model or buy this attachment. If this is the case then I will just wait to purchase the newly redesigned 3DS and pass on this attachment.
I was hoping for an all new Monster Hunter game for the 3DS. I'm not sure if I am interested in this. I guess that I'll just wait for more information to see if this game is worth getting again.
Well, if this thing does turn out to be real then that means that a newly redesigned 3DS might already be in the works and it could be revealed at or before next year's E3.
@Shockwave: Personally, I think that this remake of Star Fox 64 looks and sounds great but since I already own it on the Virtual Console I have to pass on it for the time being. That and my budget is stretched pretty thin with so many games coming out this holiday season. Oh and I am definitely not a fan of Call of Duty.
I think that this game will not have a subscription fee outside of Japan. I can see why they are doing it in Japan considering how large the fanbase for Dragon Quest is, it will be an instant money maker. Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter are huge in Japan but that is still not the case here in the US. If they try to implement a subscription fee for this game outside of Japan there is a good chance that the game will have trouble selling especially considering the negative feedback that this game is already getting. I still plan on getting it myself and I think that this game serves a good indicator that Nintendo is finally taking serious steps at improving it's online service.
@Jango-Forest: You want a nice single player RPG for your Wii? Don't you guys have Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower? I sure wish I had those games.
@lz20XX: Yeah, I totally get where you are coming from. If this game does in fact require you to be connected online at all times even to play single player then that would be a huge problem for a lot of people. I understand too that people will be upset if there is also a subscription fee to play online. I have read different things on different websites today, some say that you don't need to be connected online to play just the single player game while others do. I'm not sure what to believe right now. We definitely need more info about this game if they do decide to release it outside Japan. Personally, I think that they won't be charging a subscription fee outside of Japan. Hopefully, the online will be free just like Capcom did for Monster Hunter Tri. I guess we just have to wait and see if Square Enix is willing to do the same.
So people complain that the Dragon Quest series is too archaic and that the Wii doesn't have any games with online support but when they decide to try something new and give us a different take on Dragon Quest with full online support people still complain. Wow, maybe this game should have been on the PS3 and Xbox 360 instead.
I'm perfectly happy with the line-up of games that we are getting. I have no reason to complain anyway considering that I am one of the "lucky" ambassadors.
All of these are solid games that I would be very happy to have with the exception being Yoshi or Yoshi's Egg or whatever the heck you want to call it.
I'm disappointed to hear about the issues with the controls. Really unfortunate especially since it could have been avoided if the developers just implemented a standard control scheme. I'll probably pass on this one now. Good review though Peter, nice work!
I'm down for almost anything WayForward puts out. The most recent exception being that new Centipede game. That one just doesn't do anything for me but this Aliens game looks fantastic. I can't wait!

Re: Ace Combat Takes 3DS to the Skies in NA on 15th November
The circle pad add-on is supposed to be compatible for this game, right? Yeah, I know it's optional but I would like the opportunity to try it out.
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life's eShop Appearance

Re: Mario Tennis Smashing Onto 3DS
If Camelot is involved in developing this one then you can definitely count me in.
Re: More Titles Announced at 3DS Conference
Oh wow, a new Culdcept on the 3DS?! I really enjoyed that on the Xbox 360. Hopefully this game will be released outside of Japan.
Re: Fire Emblem Strategising Its Way to 3DS
@12: I'd actually love to see Advance Wars on the 3DS too.
Re: The 3DS Will Come in Pink, Too
This pink is actually a pretty nice color but it really isn't my thing. I'm sticking with my Cosmo Black system until they roll out a nice green one.
Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising Suffers Worldwide Delay
Delayed to incorporate new slidepad add-on controls perhaps?
Re: Fire Emblem Strategising Its Way to 3DS
This is absolutely fantastic!!!

Can you just imagine trying to fit that thing into your pocket?
Re: Talking Point: The Five Remaining GBA Ambassador Games
I would love to see Mother 3 but I know that will never happen. I'm hoping that we get Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars or Drill Dozer.

YES!!!!!
Re: NES Ambassador Games Available in Europe Now
Congratulations Europe, enjoy those games!
Re: NES Ambassador Games for North America Available Now
Got 'em! Thanks for the heads-up Nintendo Life!
Wow, I'm surprised that all the games were available at once. I thought that they would have spaced them out at one game per week. This is great!
Re: North American NES Ambassador Games Announced
@133: Nintendo already changed it. They took out Mike Tyson and replaced him with Mr. Dream. It is currently available on the Wii Virtual Console:

Re: Driver Renegade 3D
I hope that this game turns out to be good. I am skeptical though so I will wait for some reviews before I decide to pick it up.
