Punch-Out!!, please!!

Metal Mario looks more dark-skinned than light to me. Why complain when you can play with a Mii of any race you want.

This looks like junk they should still be making for the Wii to have a hope of finding anyone to buy it.

I wish we could have an actual password protection system to just lock people out of being able to use your 3DS at all without your permission. I use the parental controls, but they make some things totally unusable with parental controls enabled instead of letting you enter the password to still be able to use it, and there are some things you don't even have the option to restrict.

They shouldn't even offer something like this if it's not going to be available to anyone in the NA region.

Traded in my NSMBU, so that I suppose.

Pinch me!

Finally! Been waiting to do the transfer, and was going to give up waiting on being able to transfer this game.

Gonna get F-Zero X — not sure why I didn't snag it last time.

Oh, how I loved my Game Boy, but mainly because of Tetris.

I have faith we'll get it as well.

I already have the Mario, Luigi, and Zelda Wiimotes plus 5 others and had 2 extra Wiimotes before that that I gave to my dad, so I better stop buying Wiimotes. It's easy to say no to this since I hate pink anyway.

I thought it was funny. Sure, Super Mario can break the blocks with his fist because he's super, but Realistic Mario would never be able to, so he's either going to bust his hand or hurt his head.

Get Chain Blaster if you haven't yet. That's a great deal.

I get bored just fighting with a friend, so I think this will make things more interesting.

I pre-ordered for 3DS with no intention of getting the Wii U version, so I'm just fine with the Wii U version coming out later to help sell Wii U systems for x-mas. Of course, if everyone just buys it for 3DS, then maybe the Wii U version won't really be much of a system seller.

If we don't get a Tetris game for Wii U, I'll consider it a failure as a console. If a third party won't make it, all the better if Nintendo does it. Tetris DS was more polished than any other Tetris game of late.

I'd be interested, although I couldn't really tell much from the video.

@Marioman64 Because they set a limit on how low you can haggle. I've heard you basically won't get the games any cheaper than half price, and the games might not even be worth that much, so it might be just a lot of wasted effort.

Yay, Lakitu!

I got the multitool, and on all 5 sides of the packaging that are labelled, it correctly says "multitool" — sigh. The quality is much higher than I expected: feels more substantial than my mini Swiss army knife that I have used as a keychain up till now. I was expecting it to be plastic on the exterior, but it seems to be metal, and weighs much more than my Swiss army knife of similar length.

Maybe it didn't make the list because it's just a remake, but Steel Empire is really the only game I'm looking forward to for 3DS. I pre-ordered Smash Bros, but I've honestly never been thrilled by the series, and I only pre-ordered because I got it for half price.

Awww, I was expecting something funnier. The only thing that saved this was the World Dental Federation approval.

I don't think anyone is going to run out to buy a Wii U to play GBA games that will probably just look terribly pixelated. Gamecube games would make more sense.

I think the only thing people will enjoy about this game is trying to bargain for the prices, but I don't think any of the games will be worth even the lowest price you can pay for them.

The 3DS version looks the best by far. Can't wait.

I totally want to get it, assuming the price isn't too steep.

I always found it really easy to defend in this game. You just leave your goalie back on the goal line and dead centre of the net, as opposed to coming out to challenge like a real goalie would. Only a perfect shot will be able to get by on either side, so just leave your goalie in position and patiently watch the other team take their shots until you gain possession and can go on offense.

@Aqueous Already ordered it, obviously.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to do the simple test anymore. I hope that changes after I've done the regular one for a week or whatever again.

@Aqueous For the Sea Hound they also increased surface speed a notch, decreased submerged speed a notch, and decreased the torpedoes by 2 I believe. For the Neptune they added 2 torpedoes, decreased the reload by 1 second, decreased the surface speed a notch, and increased the dive speed a notch. All the other subs seem identical, including the ones in the shop (which they really should have improved if they expected to sell them, lol).

These puzzles look better than the generic ones in the Picross e games, so I'll be getting this.

@unrandomsam Sales tax isn't included in the sticker price the way VAT is so generally it makes it look like people in North America are being charged far less, when the reality is that Nintendo's profit may not be that different. People from Europe may not realize that some of us are paying 15% in sales tax on top of the North American price, so the total amount we are paying may not necessarily be as low as they think it is either.

Might as well get Mega Man X then.

I don't know who the people are that eat at Pizza Hut. I think their pizza is mediocre and the portions are skimpy for the price, but I guess you can't complain if you get a free gift card for it.

Mario's Picross and Starship Defense are well worth it if you didn't get them previously. Would have got Lost Levels if it were actually for Wii U, but it's not so I'll live with my Super Mario All Stars version. Got Balloon Fight for 30 cents, and it would barely be worth 150 coins in my mind, never mind 200. Way to reward your new Wii U purchasers, Nintendo, lol.

I got one, and it's pretty cool. I feel like it overestimates my Calories burned, but it's neat seeing where you walk up and down around town or else being able to see weather patterns due to air pressure changes over the course of a couple days. Also comes in handy if you lose your watch.

It is a bit fuzzy, but not unwatchable. Without 3D compatibility, it's sort of pointless though.

Getting Mario & DK on sale (been waiting for one), and both 3D Classics. Also the Contra III upgrade once I finally do my Wii to Wii U transfer. Very interested in that Louvre app if it's worth the money.

That was funnier than I expected it to be. I've seen people do far more cruel things to pets than trying to give them a real world Super Mario experience.

I'd buy it, but I honestly don't expect us to get it.

My Wii U is probably my least-loved video game system I've ever owned. The game delays made being an early adopter pointless, but at least the games have finally been coming the past couple months, and I'm sure it will succeed eventually.

Been waiting for Link's Awakening to go on sale ever since Europe got a sale on it a long time ago. Will be buying.

Tennis for me!

Guess they finally realized that silly plastic stand wasn't actually necessary for playing Kid Icarus Uprising.

It's on my radar now.

I pretty much agree with everything in this review. Now I don't feel so mean giving it 2/5 on the eShop, lol.

Hard to believe this is an objective decision when they stand to profit by getting rid of the friend gallery and having people pay for the world gallery. We could share our DSi flipnotes with the world and communicate with our friends on Swapnote for a couple years, yet Nintendo only reacts now? Seems a bit suspect to me.

I grabbed a red one in the first 5 minutes, but it wasn't easy. The site was sluggish, and when the page loaded with the button to complete my order, the page looked barebones and nothing would happen when I clicked the button, so I had to reload the page to get it to render properly with a button that worked.

There are parental controls to disable Swapnote, so I don't know why this drastic step was necessary. Typical Nintendo.

Space Harrier, Hang-On, Sonic, and Shinobi for me.
