The state of the economy in the U.S. is a HUGE reason for the lower sales in the video game industry over the past few years, IMO. Most people simply do not have the disposable income they had a few years back.
It is utterly ridiculous that 95% of a year's releases occur within a few weeks around the holidays. Weeks later, many of these games have been reduced to bargain-bin prices b/c no human being could possibly play them all. Then, executives sit around and try to figure out what is wrong with the sales of video games. It is complete madness.
How hard is it to make a little kiddo game like this that doesn't completely suck? I mean, with the Chuck E. Cheese name attached ... this thing will practically sell itself. Pathetic, but completely expected.
Ice White looked sweet, but Apple has played out that color to death. Anxious to see what purple will look like in person ... and if it will de-throne Flame Red as the hottest 3DS color.
such differing opinions on the physics. i thought that this was a definite for me, but now i am reconsidering. especially with pushmo getting rave reviews.
The Flame Red 3DS may not look like much in pictures, but in person it is a real head turner. By far, the best looking color of the 3 released in the US. It is probably one of the most gorgeous finishes on an electronic device that I have ever seen.
Thanks for the comments regarding screen darkness. The early reviews on Amazon really made a point of this issue. Since I already own it on Xbox, I'm still on the fence about buying - especially without Medieval Madness and Arabian Knights.
According to the reviews in @Gamer magazine, Saga for the 3DS will not feature adjustable difficulty - while Complete for Wii will have an adjustable difficulty setting.

Re: Review: Kirby's Return to Dream Land (Wii)
Epic Yarn provided plenty of gameplay, if you sought 100% completion. Otherwise, I could see someone blowing through it pretty quickly.

Re: Review: Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (3DS)
Can you comment on any darkness issue when using 3D? Several comments on Amazon have suggested that the top screen is very dark when 3D is activated.

Yup ... Still waiting

Use the motion controls, lose the 3D sweet spot. Nah, thanks. Circle pad for me.
