Damn, I've been torguring myself with this abomination for like 2 hours and I think I'm done with it... I knew it's a pretty rough port, but man... Such a mess.
I have the game since day 1 and completed in in like two sittings. It's a great game, I like it a lot... But! Well, it didn't have the "wow" effect the first one hit me with. I just like GC2, not love it like the original. Still, I totally recommend it to absolutely anyone with a 3DS, it's a must-own title!
I just got the DS version earlier today and have already beaten it. It took me 2 hours and 5 minutes! I'll most probably never put it in my DS/3DS card slot again...
A great game, just bought like a couple of months ago. A solid platformer with an outstanding look. Well, it falls a bit on the short and easy side - the game is no challenge at all and it ends quite fast. Still, great addition to my DS library!
The game's too easy and too boring. There are some cool boss fights, but supposedly the hardest one - the final boss Shredder, is a joke. The good part is that I picked the game brand new for about 10 EUR.
I am so sorry to read such a negative review. I was about to buy this one, but not after reading this. Good job for saving me some money, NintendoLife!
I can't see much reason in buying the Wii Mini, since the "regular" version's price is about the same (£83.99 on Amazon UK), but gives you way much more fun! The Wii Mini is only for collectors I think...
The first "Wario Land" on the original GameBoy is my favorite one. And I think it's one of the best looking on the system. 2 and 3 are OK, but I find them not so addictive as the black & white "Super Mario Land 3" Man I love this game!
I don't really care about all those technical details and raw power of the PS/XB consoles in the past and even less now. While they go for the technical advanced stuff, Nintendo offers pure gameplay joy, which is what I'm interested in. My PC is strong enough for those "full HD and beyond" titles.
Grabbed it on the 3DS eShop few days ago. It's a shame, but that's my first contact to the original series (I have the "Maverick Hunter X" on the PSP) and I already love it. The game in really challenging which is a good thing. I'm having tons of fun with it!
This deal is not fair! Here in Europe we weren't asked to register a game for getting the free digital copy we wanted - it was just the system to register. I actually bought the 3DS XL because of this promo and took "Super Mario 3D Land" for free. What a deal!
These awards don't mean anything! It's just business and they are irrelevant to the quality of the games. I usually don't follow such news, I am not interested at all...
I bought it on the Wii's VC about a week ago and I'm still preparing myself to start the adventure. Never played it though, but my expectations are through the roof, as you can imagine. I'll check it out this weekend.
Got it yesterday on the eShop. It's really a hard one, which is actually very good and works just fine for me! I am so tired of non challenging, easily forgettable games...
@YujiPro Totally agree! Never cared too much about the 3D Marios before, but 3D Land managed to change this. Now I am thinking about trying out both the Galaxies... finally!
I gave up on physical copies for PC games. Steam is the way to go for me. Nintendo games I buy on disc/cartridge, the only exceptions are Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land, which I got the codes for from some promotions.
Don't care much about the multiplayer for this game. My friends don't have 3DS anyway, so I'd rather get a blast solo game than some unexciting co-op or something like that...
@Linkuini
I have the same feelings about the 3DS version. Being a huge Sonic fan back from the Genesis (Mega Drive here ) era, I was blown away by the Green Hill, Mushroom Hill and so on modern recreations, but they got old too quickly. After beating the game, I have no reason to get back to it and the 100 missions don't do the job for me.
I absolutely love all the NSMB games (well, haven't played the Wii U version yet...) and NSMB2 is no exception. Yes, it is quite the same game as the previous but there's so much fun going on! Still, I felt a little disappointed from my reward after collecting 1M coins. Some of the DLC packs make it too easy. 8 out of 10 from me!
I picked it up a week ago despite the mixed reviews and I'm happy I did. It doesn't top the GCN version, but hey - who does? I'm having tons of fun with MTO though, really a good entry in the series. Good review Jon!
Just bought 3DS XL White with the digital copy of Mario Kart 7 deal 3 days ago and I already love the game so much! It even tops my all time favorite MK: Double Dash!! A little more practice and I'll jump into the online battles.

Re: Review: Fire Emblem Warriors (New 3DS)
Haven't Switched yet so I grabbed this one for the 3DS yesterday. I'd say I like it better than Hyrule Warroirs Legends.

Re: Review: Pokémon Black and White (DS)
It's the first Pokemon game I've ever played. I bought it a month ago and it's in my 3DS ever since. What a lovely game!
Re: Gunman Clive 2 Delayed for a Few Weeks More
A must buy, regardless the release date.
Re: Review: Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
One of my most precious GBA carts. Love this game so much!

Re: Review: DK: King of Swing (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
Oh man, I found this one new and sealed 3 years ago in a store in Sofia for 7$!
The game's so great, I love it!
Re: Shovel Knight Digs For Victory With 300,000 Copies Sold
I got it on the 3DS a couple of weeks ago and I am enjoying it so damn much!
Re: Review: Rayman Origins (3DS)
I have the PC version and I love it, but I also enjoy my 3DS port as much. It's a great game with tons of fun, no matter the platform!
Re: Gunman Clive 2
Can't wait for this one, I am so buying it!
Re: Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition Confirmed for Wii U and 3DS
I am so buying this one!
Re: Review: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate (3DS)
I feel like 5/10 is too good for this game. Fortunately I bought it used so I didn't spend too much on it. A really disappointing one...
Re: Review: Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
I am so sorry to read such a negative review. I was about to buy this one, but not after reading this. Good job for saving me some money, NintendoLife!
Re: Review: Mario Golf: World Tour (3DS)
The demo is awesome! I guess I should be getting this one.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)
Great game indeed! The first one I play with the 3D turned on the whole time - it is gorgeous! And so much fun to play...
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)
I am so getting this one!

Re: Wii Mini Shifts 35,700 Units in Canada
@BestBuck123 Sure, my mistake!
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th March 2013 (Europe)
I'm skipping the eShop second week in a row.
Re: 3DS Stays on Top in Japan, but Wii U Falls Behind Vita
Man, the NSMB2 is hitting the 2,000,000 soon!

The Wii Mini is only for collectors I think...
Re: Review: Wario Land 3 (3DS eShop / Game Boy Color)
The first "Wario Land" on the original GameBoy is my favorite one. And I think it's one of the best looking on the system. 2 and 3 are OK, but I find them not so addictive as the black & white "Super Mario Land 3" Man I love this game!

Grabbed it on the 3DS eShop few days ago. It's a shame, but that's my first contact to the original series (I have the "Maverick Hunter X" on the PSP) and I already love it. The game in really challenging which is a good thing. I'm having tons of fun with it!
Re: Nintendo of America Offering Free Retail Game To New 3DS XL Buyers
This deal is not fair!
Here in Europe we weren't asked to register a game for getting the free digital copy we wanted - it was just the system to register. I actually bought the 3DS XL because of this promo and took "Super Mario 3D Land" for free. What a deal!
Re: Review: NightSky (3DS eShop)
I am 100% getting this one as soon it comes to the European eShop!

Re: Rumour: Gearbox Played Secondary Role in Aliens: Colonial Marines Development
I'll buy it on Steam. Yes, for PC. Believe it or not, PC version actually exists, NintendoLife!

Re: Super Mario 3D Land Sales Outpacing Super Mario Galaxy's In First Year
@YujiPro
Totally agree! Never cared too much about the 3D Marios before, but 3D Land managed to change this. Now I am thinking about trying out both the Galaxies... finally!
Re: Gunman Clive Update Now Available In Europe
I have several hours on Gunman Clive already and I haven't experienced any problems yet. The game is pure fun!
Re: Review: Mario Smash Football (GCN)
A multiplayer blast, that's what this game is all about!
Havent played the Wii version though...
Re: Talking Point: The Future Role of High Street Games Retailers
I gave up on physical copies for PC games. Steam is the way to go for me.

Re: Hardware Classics: Game Boy Micro Famicom Edition
GBA Micro is the only GameBoy I don't have. I should get one though...
Re: Local Multiplayer Sneaks Up On Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Don't care much about the multiplayer for this game. My friends don't have 3DS anyway, so I'd rather get a blast solo game than some unexciting co-op or something like that...
Re: Review: Gunman Clive (3DS eShop)
Great game. Bought it 2 days ago and I'm having tons of fun with it.
With this price tag it is no-brainer!
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Scares Its Way Onto The 3DS March 24th
Great news! I hope we won't be waiting too long after March 24th. Europe I mean.
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
I'm OK waiting for this game! I prefer them to take the time needed to create a solid follow up to the awesome original.

Good review Jon!
Re: Mario Power Tennis
The best Mario Tennis game ever!
Re: Review: Mario Kart 7 (3DS)
