Fantasy Life was one of my favourite 3DS games. I was REALLY hoping for another 3DS sequel but now I won't touch it. This kind of game just won't work on a mobile.
I understand why the car exists, but it really ruined the series for me. Now that I have heard it is basically here to stay it looks like no more future buys here.
On the other hand though, I am pretty happy that they tried something new with Bowser Party. That mode sounds like a lot of fun and the one place the car actually works.
I'm at 50 hours. For some reason I had a lot of trouble playing 3U on 3DS, maybe because of the camera (no CCP) and the water fights. Not sure but when I got 4U as a birthday gift I was HOOKED very fast.
I just love killing stuff with friends and hunting those new weapons/armour. And when you kill something that at first felt impossible it is an amazing feeling.
Can see myself playing this for hundreds of hours easily :3
Maybe this will help them realise that making Sonic radically different from what people know it as along with the ridiculous character designs doesn't sell.
I was willing to give it a chance if the gameplay was good, but they even failed on that front. It makes me sad because Sonic and Mario were always the 2 really big platforming rivals and both had great games. Not really a fair contest anymore with stuff like this happening.
I'm glad I got that big Yoshi plushie before this was announced. :c
I'm going to miss it, even though EU didn't have game downloads we got a lot of nice merchandise over the years. Thanks Nintendo for keeping it as long as you did.
Hopefully the replacement will be worth losing CN!
Glad to hear it's mostly the same as the Wii version. Completely missed the chance to get it (by the time I had something that could play it, it was long gone availability wise).
This game was really difficult for me when I first played it. I was quite young but I remember the secret Orangatang level and Tree Tops were both nightmares to complete!
Loved every moment though, easily one of my favourite platformers on the SNES. The second game was even better, cannot wait for it! (Didn't like the third though, the lack of DK and Diddy upset me D:)
This was my first ever Gameboy game! I have the Banana Edition Gameboy which came with this game. Played it to death until eventually getting 100%.
I was rather small at the time so it kept me entertained for months. Sadly it breaks on GBA upwards, weird lines appear all over the enemies and Kongs. :c
Works great on the original Gameboy and Gameboy colour though.
Can't say I'm very happy about it. It's nice they realised that the orignal design had problems but increasing the hardware specs alienates owners of the older models entirely.
They didn't go this far with the DSi if I remember right. All main releases worked on regular old DS still.
Well this is certainly interesting. I wonder if it was revealed now to get people guessing and then have the reveal be something completely unexpected?
Good to hear! I play Mario Kart 8 on and off still. Off TV play is great for doing family multiplayer since we have multiple Wii Us and can just gather in 1 room with our gamepads. (I know there is splitscreen but this works well for us)
I'm really grateful they gave this away for free, it is one of the few titles on the DS I completely missed somehow and is actually quite enjoyable in small bursts.
Sadly I have an asian accent so it doesn't recognise my speech (so I can relate to that part of the review). I had no problem with it detecting my handwriting though.
Looks good. The coin launcher wasn't exactly that fun in Brawl. I do hope the Wii U version is going to get some of these features or at least something big to make up for not getting Smash Run.

I voted for King K. Rool. He really needs more exposure!

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th March (Europe)
If Mario Party 10 reviews come out looking positive I'll probably get it. The "car" has put me off recent entries however I love the series!

Re: Full Details Emerge on Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker Launch Edition
Another Atlus game EU might never see. Sigh..
Re: Final Fantasy Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi Really Doesn't Like Direct Sequels
Understandable thoughts. I quite like how each FF game is quite different.
The only one I really wanted a sequel of was 9. That game was something that really made me emotional. Best FF game I have ever played.
Re: Complete First Season Of Donkey Kong Country TV Series Coming To DVD This May
I vaguely remember this.... there was something about a crystal coconut and it was crazy. MUST WATCH AGAIN.
Re: Review: Classic Card Games (3DS eShop)
The lack of multiplayer is quite a shock actually, this is the kind of title where it would be perfect, especially since it is on a handheld.
Quite disappointing.

Thanks for the tip off, I've been waiting for the pre-orders to open!

Re: Eon Ticket StreetPass Relay Announced for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire in the UK
As usual they design events that only work in cities. It's very frustrating that they never think of people who live in towns or rural places. ._.
Just once I'd like a pokémon game where I can actually get all of the available content.
Re: Weirdness: If Super Smash Bros. Was a WWE game, It'd Be Terrifying
I DIED WATCHING THIS. Thanks NintendoLife xD
Nearly all of the characters were hilariously bad, especially PacMan and Kirby...
Dedede was also really bad xD

Cute! Thanks Nintendo. I just downloaded it to give it a try.
Re: This Super-Cute Toon Link Nendoroid is Looking for Adventure
This looks fantastic! I own the Isabelle one for Animal Crossing New Leaf and the quality is very good. Might have to pre order this!

Re: Inquisitive Gamers Stumble Across Potential eShop Web Store
This is certainly interesting! I hope this also means they will consider changing software being tied to a system.
Re: Nintendo UK Confirms Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS National Championship
Ooooo. I'm honestly tempted to try this! I could reach the GAME in London.

Re: Review: Fantasy Life (3DS)
Pre-ordered this after reading this. It looked really interesting at E3 and this just sealed the deal for me. Looking forward to next Friday!

Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC Coming In November, Features Zelda, F-Zero And Animal Crossing
YES! I was hoping for DLC courses even for just retro courses but this is a million times better.
Re: Gallery: Meta Knight Slices and Dices in His Official Screenshots
I'm so glad he is back! I loved his play style in Brawl but he was rather strong. Hopefully it is dialed back a bit in this version.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Speeds Past The Two Million Copies Sold Barrier In Less Than A Month
Good to hear! I play Mario Kart 8 on and off still. Off TV play is great for doing family multiplayer since we have multiple Wii Us and can just gather in 1 room with our gamepads. (I know there is splitscreen but this works well for us)
Re: Senran Kagura 2 Website Updates With New Gameplay Trailer And Boss Reveal
Rusty spoons please! The combat looks interesting but that much fanservice is way too much for me.
Re: Review: Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old is Your Brain? (Wii U eShop / DS)

Re: Mario Kart 8 and Tomodachi Life Hold Firm in UK Charts
Glad to see Mario Kart is still strong in the charts! Hopefully it will survive another week on the charts.
Re: Mii Swordfighter Characters Show Off Their Moves in Super Smash Bros.
I'll probably stick to the normal roster but they look really fun xD I'm glad he did this instead of a more generic system.
Re: Final Fantasy Explorers Official Website Opens
Looks great! Hopefully this won't take forever to reach the West.

Re: Wii Owners Are Upgrading To PlayStation 4, Claims Sony
I got a Wii U. To be honest anything interesting that comes out either works on my PC or is on a Nintendo console.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei IV Confirmed For Q3 eShop Release In Europe
And Europe is shafted yet again. Wonder if we will ever get Rune Factory 4... Been waiting for ages for even an announcement
I might still get this when it releases but no physical is annoying.

Re: Rumour: Mario Kart 8 DLC to Feature Expanded Roster and New Battle Modes
I really hope this is real! The images look pretty real to me.
Re: Talking Point: The Legend of Zelda on Wii U Can Wear Many Masks
The masks could be interesting to see come back. I have no problem with them reusing mechanics if it is done in a good way and not to be gimmicky.
Looking forward to seeing if they reveal a Zelda U at E3 though, they may have even more wacky ideas than this!
Re: Mario Kart 8 Stays Second in UK as Tomodachi Life Has Modest Début
I'm glad Mario Kart is doing this well. Nintendo needed that quite badly.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Forty One
Picked Brewster since I love little touches like that. The Mushroom Kingdom stage looks amazing though!
Re: New Mega Evolutions Revealed for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
I saw this earlier today, it looks exciting! I love that the teams are still separated by which game you get too.
Re: Play: Mario Kart 8 in the NLife Community GP - Today!
@Grumblevolcano thanks for the info! I'll check it out later today.
Re: Play: Mario Kart 8 in the NLife Community GP - Today!
Is there a way to see the final rankings? I'm curious!
Re: Play: Mario Kart 8 in the NLife Community GP - Today!
I had a lot of fun today! I was playing as Hanae there. :3 will the results be posted when it closes?
Re: Play: Mario Kart 8 in the NLife Community GP - Today!
Sounds like fun! I tried the rolling tournament a little yesterday and it was great fun. I'll be joining this if possible.
