I can confirm that Mario vs. Donkey Kong on the GBA was one of my all time favourite games actually a few mates would also agree back in the day on that really good design mechanics and fantastic presentation. Personally i play all of my GBA games on my GB Player on my Gamecube and most games actually look ok when blown up to 50" on my Panasonic plasma, i still have most of my cart collection such a quality games library on that handheld its ridiculous.

Surprised that Nano Assault EX for 3DS isn't getting more attention one of the few 9/10 indie games for 3DS seems the price when released £12.49 which is brilliant in of itself as its an updated version of the retail cart its now going to be £6.35 so half price on Thursday, curiously not sure when/where this £8.49 price came from as its currently showing in the eshop.

Have this on mobile devices and other Flick Golf games from Full Fat and they're all really fun to play, one of the few games ive managed to play with others on a mobile device personally i'd give it 7-8/10 as its alot of fun to play.

This review is wrong its a CLEAR 10/10, in reality there is a fairly big difference between a 9/10 & a 10/10 and i dont know of anyone who sessioned this that would say it aint a 10, of course there's plenty of internet wingnuts that would say otherwise.

Im getting all of these 3D Classics that Sega/M2 are putting out as each one is the best version of the game its ever been and alot of care and attention has gone into them (cough cough unlike Nintendo releases) surely that's gotta be worth it.

Re: Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush Fails to Break Top 20 in UK Charts

Agreed im not buying a Wii U game if i can only play it on the Gamepad i as i suspect most people buy Wii U games so they can mainly play them on a HDTV also ive never been a fan of the poor screen quality/resolution i mean the Gamepad doesn't even display the native resolution of Wii U games which is ridiculous, when it came out it uses a resolution less than 720p and alot of other portable devices at this time were using 720p-1080p screens.

Ahh Kirby's Dream Land 3 originally used an on board cart Chip for the SNES:
The Super Accelerator 1 (SA1) chip is used in a number of SNES games, including the popular Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.[12]

Similar to the 5A22 CPU in the SNES console, the SA1 contains a processor core based on the 65C816 with several programmable timers.[2] The SA1 does not function as a slave CPU for the 5A22; both can interrupt each other independently.

The SA1 also features a range of enhancements over the standard 65C816:

Upgraded 10.74 MHz clock speed, up from a maximum of 3.58 MHz
Faster RAM, including 2KBytes of internal RAM
Memory mapping capabilities
Limited data storage and compression
New DMA modes such as bitmap to bit plane transfer
Arithmetic functions (multiplication, division, and cumulative)
Hardware timer (either as a linear 18-bit timer, or synchronised with the PPU to generate an IRQ at a specific H/V scanline location)
Built-in CIC lockout, for copy protection and regional marketing control

@Kirk Exactly to many Fanboys are supporting their lazy nonsense Sega are charging around the same price as Nintendo but just look at the work/love Sega are showing their catalogue, Nintendo it doesn't matter fanboys will support them.
