As long as they don't delay it again I'm ok with waiting. I imagine they are trying really hard to meet the expectations that that preview trailer gave us.
I'm confident that the game will be amazing when we finally get to see it!
Sadly I knew they wouldn't add it. Nintendo have a trend of leaving online play out of all of their "party" titles.
Mario Party, Wii Sports, and Nintendo Land haven't had it so I saw it coming.
Still it is disappointing they haven't tried to at least broaden the audience a little to the people who can't quite gather their friends in 1 spot to play locally.
Very happy to hear this. I have published on Google Play so have a little experience with this rating system already. It is extremely easy to use, you just have to answer a few questions to determine what criteria your game falls into.
If that DK barrel comes to UK amazon I must get it!
I agree with PDP being high quality I ordered a really nice stackable stand for Disney Infinity about 6 months ago and it even holds the portal on the top. Made storing figures very handy.
I grabbed the folder and bookmark set. I only had 1600 stars left and wanted another small physical memento!
I had some nice stuff over the years though:
Wario Keychain
MK7 Banana Cup Trophy
Mario and Luigi Hat game pouches
2 different Pikmin 3 keychains (too cute to only get one of these)
Yoshi Plush (with the apple)
Maybe a few other things I cannot remember now. I guess the promotions such as New Ambassador 3DS, Paper Mario Sticker Star Sticker Book, Skull Kid Statue and the Smash Soundtracks count though!
It was quite a nice run and I am quite excited to see if the new Club Nintendo can bring such a large variety of rewards and gifts.
It's unfortunate that the online play looks so bad. I was expecting bad single player due to the type of game so that isn't so bad but.. limited lobbies with no way to continue playing with the same group you found that was really fun to be with? That and not even some kind of text chat to co-ordinate in more complex puzzles. Communication is necessary in puzzle solving games even if it isn't voice chat.
Why does everything have to be so limited when it comes to Nintendo and online? At least the local play looks solid.
If I had a bunch of people locally to play this with I would probably get it as the core idea sounds really fun. Hopefully it won't turn off others who want to play it in a group!
Agreeing with a lot here that the automatic levels need some kind of filter. I had 4 of them in 1 100 mario challenge once. The amount of them seems to be increasing as people see them on the top 50 list :C
But on topic of the actual update, is it possible this is setting the stage for DLC? None of the game breaking glitches actually got fixed. (The invincibility glitch and the going through walls thing)
Was worried about this when you guys first previewed it. Seems they didn't take the time between then and now to actually add some kind of challenge to the game =(
I LOVE the idea of the game but having no real motivation to make a good home for the animals would just leave me bored very quickly. I was really hoping there would be a rating system with some leniency so you still have some freedom but need to keep to a theme.
Yes! I was not looking forward to a 9 day wait (or editing clock) so this is the best thing they could have done. Still makes you practice too which is great.
I think all of these choices are well thought out. Doom especially since while wolfenstein was the start of the FPS genre, it wasn't until Doom that it really kicked off.
YES! Hoping it will be a good entry. Now that they have made a 3D engine and all for the Gates to Infinity they should have little problem working on a deeper story.
I still think the reason the previous game was a bit lacking was the transition to 3D, but they have the groundwork already done this time around.
Getting this for PC. Finally the true successor to Banjo-Kazooie is making an appearance. After Banjo-Threeie "never happened" this makes me so happy inside.

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Passes Four Million Global Sales
Definitely well deserved. MH4U is an amazing game. I hope this means they will continue to bring them West.

Re: Random: This Real Life Pokémon Gym Looks Rather Fun
This looks really fun! I wish I could visit it just for a couple days xD
Great idea to try and make fitness fun, especially for the kids that are attending.

Re: Dutch Retailer Lists Standalone Splatoon Squid amiibo, Available 6th November
Nice to see a potential West release of the individual amiibo. I hope this trend continues as making any exclusive to bundles is a very bad idea.
Though I still need to get the amiibos for splatoon. Is the content really that big?

Re: XSEED VP Talks About the Future of the Rune Factory Series
@andrea987 RF4 has been in EU for almost a year now via the eShop. We won't ever get a physical copy though.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Launches on 4th December in Europe
Yes! So glad it is arriving this year, going to grab this day 1 hopefully.
Re: Weirdness: French Far-Right Political Party Uses Little Mac Lookalike On Campaign Poster
This makes me laugh. You can tell it was redrawn since a few parts are very slightly different but its obvious they were tracing Little Mac. xD
I wonder what Nintendo will do when they see this...
Re: It's Cats Against Dogs in the Next European Splatfest
Awwhh. When are they going to do the age old question?
Ninja VS Pirates!
Re: Nintendo Selects Range on 3DS Has a Handsome Price Point in Europe
Well this is a surprise! Might have to get Starfox 3D, somehow missed that one when it came out.
Re: Random: Isabelle Still Seems Upset At Negligent Animal Crossing: New Leaf Mayors
My town is probably a crater with a few Jacob's Ladders poking out the middle from when it used to be perfect. :3
Poor Isabelle must go crazy with all the vacationing mayors.
Re: The Team Behind Earthworm Jim Would Like to Make a Sequel
I almost forgot this gem existed! Honestly I would love if a new EWJ came out, they were amazing games at the time.
Re: Miiverse Gets a Major Web Redesign, and Introduces Adverts
The new site is very pretty! I'm quite enjoying the new look. It actually feels professional now.
The ads aren't annoying either, just 1 small box. I can ignore that.
Re: Super Mario Advance 4's e-Reader Levels Get Resurrected Thanks To Super Mario Maker
I saw these on the Mario Maker subreddit last night. Very dedicated creators and they did a really good job within the limits of Mario Maker.
I'm glad you guys put up an article about this, they deserve the recognition!
Re: Totaka's Song is in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
I find it funny how this song keeps returning. I like how it becomes something of a hunt to find it in every game he is involved in!
Re: VoxelMaker is Set to Hit the North American eShop on 1st October
Looks pretty fleshed out for a tool of this kind. I'm sure quite a few artists will enjoy this.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Will Support 18 amiibo Figures
I cannot wait for this! It looks absolutely amazing. Mario and Luigi games have never disappointed me so far.

Voted for K Rool back when this first opened. Still have hope for him!

Won't be getting this now D:
Re: Video: Admire the Skills on Show as an Insane Super Mario Maker Level is Conquered
That is INSANE. Good job to the person crazy enough to beat the level!
Re: Reminder: Grab Some Popcorn For Nintendo UK's Super Mario Maker Twitch Stream With An Extra Special Guest
Same here @CapnKatz :C
I submitted 3 on the day it was announced with the tag, but got buried I think.
Still looking forward to this though, going to tune in and see what interesting levels Alex found :3
Re: More Than A Million Super Mario Maker Levels Have Been Uploaded In A Week
That is CRAZY. Makes me wonder how many people got the game globally including digital. Maybe around half a million ?
Re: Super Mario Maker Makes its Way to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS
Looks like a great stage! Other than slopes I also noticed it had those bridge blocks from SMW that mario maker doesn't have.
I do have to wonder if they snuck these in as hints.
Re: Join Us Live For A Super Mario Maker Twitch Stream With Nintendo UK
Added 3 levels for you to try out with the NUK tag! Have quite a lot but at the moment those are the ones I feel are the best.
Looking forward to seeing you play through everyone's levels!
Re: Reminder: It's Super Mario's 30th Anniversary
Happy birthday Mario!
I spent today playing Mario Maker. Nothing better than celebrating his 30th by creating Mario levels!
Re: Community: Create, Share, Play and Rate Each Other's Levels on Nintendo Life
Thanks a lot for making this! Going to enjoy browsing / posting levels there.
Re: Super Mario Maker Patch Speeds Up Tool Delivery
Yes! I was not looking forward to a 9 day wait (or editing clock) so this is the best thing they could have done. Still makes you practice too which is great.
Re: Intern Pikachu is Now Available to Buy in North America
I hope this comes to EU, it is adorable!
Re: Weirdness: Mario Infiltrates Sonic's First Adventure In Somari The Adventurer
Well this is pretty well made I like it !
Re: Super Mario Maker DLC Confirmed, Famitsu's Mascot Necky The Fox Coming Soon
If we get DLC I would love to see more enemies and blocks from mario 3/world but I'm happy with skins too!
If anything I'm happy they are actually doing dlc.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Promises More amiibo Stock Today
So happy about this! I was able to order Meta Knight and Dedede after months of waiting for them to come back. Thankyou Nintendo!
Re: If You're A Female In Japan, Then The Nintendo Girls Game Museum Is For You
If I still lived in Japan I'd go to try out The Great Ace Attorney and Animal Crossing!
Seems like quite a nice idea but I can already see complaints happening over it.
Re: Video: Get Cosy With This Yoshi's Woolly World Showcase from Japan
I'm so excited for this game! It looks really good.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Inducted Into the World Video Game Hall of Fame
I think all of these choices are well thought out. Doom especially since while wolfenstein was the start of the FPS genre, it wasn't until Doom that it really kicked off.
That game is still amazing to think about.
Re: Weirdness: The Game Boy XXL Makes The New Nintendo 3DS XL Look Puny
This is amazing! I love how he went to great lengths to actually make it function as well as just look like one o:
Re: Don't Starve: Giant Edition to Come With Extra Gift Copy at Launch
I have the PC version of this. It is an amazing game! I highly recommend it.
Re: Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is Adventuring to 3DS
YES! Hoping it will be a good entry. Now that they have made a 3D engine and all for the Gates to Infinity they should have little problem working on a deeper story.
I still think the reason the previous game was a bit lacking was the transition to 3D, but they have the groundwork already done this time around.
Re: Exclusive: eShop Publishers Are Dropping Releases In Germany Due To Low Sales And Cost Of USK Rating
Honestly I'm not surprised. This is a hurdle I'm worried about when I finish my own project on Steam.
Re: First Impressions: Hands On With Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee
Getting this for PC. Finally the true successor to Banjo-Kazooie is making an appearance. After Banjo-Threeie "never happened" this makes me so happy inside.
Re: Preview: Unraveling the Truth in Yoshi's Woolly World
Cannot wait to play this. Every thing I see/hear about it just looks amazing.
Re: Say Hello To Star Fox's NES-Based Forerunner, NesGlider
I wondered where the developers for Croc went. I have been hoping for a rerelease or Croc 3 :c
This is really interesting though! Never knew they tried to make this on NES long before Star Fox came out.
Re: Sonic Boom Was Originally Called Sonic Synergy, Alternative Character Designs Emerge
Knuckles is still an abomination. D:
Re: Capcom Announces Monster Hunter Stories for 3DS
Wow I certainly want to see more of this! It looks really interesting.
Re: Video: Super Smash Bros. Glitch Turns Kirby Into A Great Ball Of Fire
Crazy xD
I imagine it will probably get patched even though it is a cosmetic glitch, but it looks really funny.
