I really love these crossover events, and this one is the most extensive yet with 27 missions. The missions are fun, and they really make me want to go back and finish off purple and black coin runs and unlock the star levels. No idea how popular they are, but for me they've really at least doubled the value of the game which was a good deal to start with, imo.
i was really impressed that they just not to just make a simple sequel to their first big success, so for that alone (well, rave reviews doesn't hurt either) i'm going to get the game, even though i have no idea if i'll like it or not. looking forward to it!
with most humble bundles i'm usu. only interested in one or two of the games, but eshop is awesome and this has some great stuff. this is such a steal, so even though i have a few of these i'm putting in more than the minimum b/c part of it goes to charity and plus i can give my duplicate codes away. hope we see more of these!
i'm sure mario maker isn't going to be the main game at the E3 best buy events. i'm betting there's going to be a big game announced (or two) that's going to make the best buy events much more essential.
wow. they're really pushing the pushmo series, and grandpa blox is getting in on the action! the new additions seem interesting, so if it's $10 i would go for it (eventually).
seems like a cute little extra. people are expecting way too much from amiibo. you should keep in mind that amiibo are going to be little extras for many games, not one huge extra for one game.
i tried this out yesterday and i have to say so that so far i'm not too offended by this game. you could clearly get sucked into it and be somewhat exploited by it, but if you treat it as a nintendogs type game where you're really only playing in 15 minutes bursts frequently then it seems you can still make regular progress. i'll have to see how that first impression holds up the more i play it, though.

it's actually whispy woods. but this line still made me lol.
this is one of my fav zelda games. i'm looking forward to seeing how they've made the game more accessible, and hopefully it'll reach a wider audience.
i'm a big fan of the series anyway, so i'll be getting it regardless, but since the GBA release was never released outside of japan this is still def. a worthwhile purchase for others, despite the repeats, if they localize it.
i think there's a typo in the article. it should say it's a remake of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2, not Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. the link is correct, though.
being a FE fanboy i had to go w/ robin, but of the newcomers wii fit trainer and palutena are close behind. but pretty much all the newcomers looks awesome.
i'd only vaguely heard about this, but this is actually really cool that nintendo went out of their way to do this. i can't imagine the MS/Sony trying to appeal to kids like this, as if it would ruin their image or something.
i'm in two minds about this. on the one hand it feels like the people who own triple deluxe should get this as DLC for free, but on the other hand it feels like those two modes in triple deluxe were just demos for these games, devaluing triple deluxe as a whole. will have to know more about it to decide how i actually feel.
@Kodeen i agree w/ you on this. i felt this way about a lot of the nintendo land games. what's the point of having it hooked up to a TV if you're just looking at the game pad screen the whole time? we need more games that make use of both in a worthwhile way.
@Nik-Davies yeah, i totally have the same problem. i've finished the grand canyon, but the rest are going to be really hard to complete. i need to go to a stadium and climb stairs.
treehouse live has been awesome, although the presenters tend to be a bit bland. disappointed they didn't have more news on things we're all waiting for (like SMT x FE) or concrete dates for things coming out this year.
Pac-Man Collection is fun esp. for the puzzle game, but the screen is very cramped for the other 3 games (you can only see a small part of the total board at a time). for those games you'd be better off getting one of the console collections, like one of the namco museum collections for wii, imo.

Re: Reaction: Pokémon Shuffle Isn't Quite Microtransaction Hell, But It's Getting There
i tried this out yesterday and i have to say so that so far i'm not too offended by this game. you could clearly get sucked into it and be somewhat exploited by it, but if you treat it as a nintendogs type game where you're really only playing in 15 minutes bursts frequently then it seems you can still make regular progress. i'll have to see how that first impression holds up the more i play it, though.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker Heading Exclusively to 3DS in Early 2015
i think there's a typo in the article. it should say it's a remake of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2, not Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. the link is correct, though.
Re: Nintendo Releases Footage of Its Upcoming Super Smash Bros. 3DS HOME Themes
i like the last smash one b/c it shows the most characters, but i agree that the music will get repetitive. would rather have the music from #2.
