This is easily the best Kirby game I have played. Sure the levels can drag occasionally, especially when replaying them, but the core concept is so equally fun and adorable it's difficult not to be taken in by it.
Terrific week! I do already own the excellent pair of Zack & Wiki and Kirby's Mass Attack, but I do need to try Power Paintbrush. However, either one of Xenoblade or Paper Jam will keep me busy for ages!
Adored the demo, best of the "Nindie" downloads by a mile. I played it so many times that I'm convinced I'll play this numerous times for quick plays, as I still do with Tetris and Mario & Yoshi. And that's before I get my mates round... Super psyched for this!!
@Dr_Corndog It also spawned one of the best things in MK history. The Mega-Mushroom... How I miss squishing other racers to that frantic tune... Bring it back I say!!!
I personally very strongly feel that stamps ruined Miiverse, about the time when SM3DW was released. Since then, Miiverse has been inundated with appalling and unfunny "pictures", and it drives me mad!
Strange... I must've played about twelve matches for team eating against team sleeping. Team eat lost those matches 0-12, team sleep were pretty unplayable. Did not see that result coming!
The nothing for me this week option is back... Booooooo!
That Sense by play.me app will surely not cater to my tastes, but I've been sinking the hours into Superstar Saga recently and nearly finished it, so what better moment to jump straight into Partners in Time?
I received Yoshi's Wooly World from my wife for my birthday. It's a terrific platformer, but even after enjoying Kirby's Epic Yarn together, she won't play co-op with me due to falling out of love with video games, much to my dismay. I've also had friends round since who will look at the cover or see a small amount of gameplay and just turn their noses up at the very notion of playing a game that's even slightly cute, so I'm literally starving to play the co-op mode! I am enjoying the single player mode, but without someone to play with, it's feeling like something is sorely missing...
I quite like the absence of the "Nothing for me this week" option. I think this should continue.
That's a mega discount on the Shantae game. I am sold, but can anyone tell me whether it's worth playing the previous two iterations before getting stuck in on Pirate's Curse?
@TheAceofMystery I appreciate amiibo and their collectability status, but so far, for me, none of the unlockable bonuses are worth shelling out cash for, perhaps with the exception of the Captain Toad Treasure Tracker sub game. They would quite look nice in my display cabinet though!
I assumed the fishing game would be more enjoyable.
I suddenly stopped playing all the games in the Streetpass Plaza after getting a huge amount of enjoyment from Puzzle Swap and Streetpass Mansion in particular, and I don't think buying these two will start that craze again unfortunately.
Uncannily, we had a few people over last weekend and dug out the old guitar heroes. It was a blast! Colour me super interested in this, although another new controller?...
Also, the trailer mentioned there would be something for everyone... More tech-death please

Re: Two Wii U Hits Are Included in TIME's Top 10 Games of 2015
Agreed, and great games for sure, but I believe all three were released last year!

@johnodaz I hope you're joking.

Re: Apparent Confirmation Emerges of Shovel Knight for Super Smash Bros., Denied in Vain By Yacht Club Games
Awesome. If Shovel Knight isn't eventually revealed I'm gonna be majorly bummed out.

Well played chaps, will give them all a whirl shortly. See you at EGX!
Re: Weirdness: The Bizarre Truth of Bowser Jr.'s Mother, According to Shigeru Miyamoto

Re: Potential Massacre Averted At Pokémon World Championships
Holy hell.
Glad they got reported and caught.
Re: WayForward May Be Teasing a New Mighty Switch Force Title
This series has been labelled as both "overrated" and "underrated" in the same comments section. Pretty interesting.

Maideeeeeeennn!!!!!!
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th August (Europe)
Wretched week for 3ds, it just gets worse and worse.
Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones will be a good buy at that price though!

Re: Weirdness: Mario, Luigi and Wario Cheer On Tour de France Riders
Strange, Waluigi's always bundled with the sports games!
Re: N-ZAP89 and Octobrush Weapons are Next Up in Splatoon Update
@JaniN83 I disagree with your last one. The losing music never gets old!

I love the quote at the end of Lisa Green's tribute. RIP Iwata-san.

@OrangeCluster Thanks. I'll be purchasing it come Thursday then!

I'll try them all, it would be rude not to!

Stayed up til midnight. But we're suddenly all connecting....!
Re: Here's Your Next Helping Of Guitar Hero Live Tracks
@Gerbwmu Diamond Eyes is a fantastic song. But yeah, you could put almost any Deftones song on GH and I'd be happy.
Deftones on the headline pic of an article of Nintendolife has made me pretty happy!
Re: Review: High Strangeness (Wii U eShop)
The 8-bit to 16-bit aspect reminds me of Super Paper Mario's 2d to 3d shtick.

Re: Nintendo Classics in the Running for Inaugural World Video Game Hall of Fame Honour
If the Sims has managed to make it, then Lemmings at the very least deserves an honourable mention.
But hey, I'm biased.
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off amiibo Tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits as it Launches in Japan
@TheAceofMystery I appreciate amiibo and their collectability status, but so far, for me, none of the unlockable bonuses are worth shelling out cash for, perhaps with the exception of the Captain Toad Treasure Tracker sub game. They would quite look nice in my display cabinet though!
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off amiibo Tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits as it Launches in Japan
Still not worth buying an amiibo...
Re: Review: DOOORS (3DS eShop)
@The__Goomba It has too many O's for me!
Re: Review: Yoshi's Island DS (Wii U eShop / DS)
Why is everybody ripping on the music? Wildlands is a great song.

Re: Poll: What Are You Most Excited About in the Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2?
Ribbon Road looks absolutely gorgeous.
Re: Turn It Up To Eleven, Guitar Hero Is Making A Glorious Comeback On Wii U
@Quorthon Hammer Smashed Face on Rock Band 2? I clearly missed out there! Activision should include Cyanide Assasin. That would be impossible!
Fully expect the new Dragonforce song to be the "boss" track in this game.
Re: The Scrappers Will Be Out to Get You in SteamWorld Heist
Song at the end was awesome.
Re: Video: Shovel Knight, Scram Kitty, CommanderVideo And More Are Headed To 9-Player Platformer Runbow
Needs more indie characters!
