@A-Hungry-Banker Yeah true that. Well hopefully there will be some amazing 3D Mario platformers during that time

@Bones00 yeah, I'm not sure these people realize the game is available AT MIDNIGHT on 8/19.Not even the article mentioned that. Most retailers don't open up till later in the day, so people who download it can begin playing it after midnight, several hours sooner than even the first people who buy the game card.

Just another reason to pick it up at my local Gamestop. Let's see, 15 minutes there, 5 minutes (or less) to pick it up, 15 minutes to drive back. That's 35 minutes, still less than downloading it from home. Lol

@ThomasBW84 Awesome

@Damo Noticed a mistake in the conclusion, you put "Super Mario Land 3D" instead of "Super Mario 3D Land". not a big deal, but stillGreat review! I was hoping for at least an 8, but this exceeded my expectations! Definitely picking this up right when it comes out! And I'm gonna play co-op with a friend who is also getting it! Yeah buddy!

The link "Finding a real life Master Sword" is broken. Might wanna fix that

That's why I'm still buying the card, so I don't have to take that risk.

Wow, congrats once again! Great picks!
If only I had the spare cash to buy a few of these...

Does anybody look forward to any new Dinosaur Office episodes as much as I do?

@katenkyoz yeah, Resident Evil is totally a kid's game, right? your comment is so spot on, it makes me laugh. Wait, that's not the reason I'm laughing...

Yes! Now I'll finally be able to get some more pieces with play coins, considering I pretty much only need the purple pieces on the others.

kinda disappointed by the score, I was hoping for at least an 8 or 9. Usually NL and IGN are the two main sites I go to for reviews, but this one seems a little more negative than IGN. Now I'm not sure if I really should pick this one up for my b-day, so maybe it'll be NSMB2 instead. @Katy Great review though, keep 'em coming!

I still cannot for the life of me understand why they are making this for DS and not 3DS...sigh....

@Andrewroxsox Go Heat!!! Lebron James baby!!! And about this, I'm not gonna get it, but I just wish my 3DS would've had the matte design, because I HATE extremely visible fingerprints and smudges all over it!!!

I know this sounds nitpicky, but why doesn't the 3DS have an alarm yet, while the DS and the DSi do? It's not a huge deal, I just don't understand why they would leave that out (coming from a guy without an alarm clock or phone).

Also, it's gonna be funny to see the oblivious people still driving off the bridge in Maka Wuhu and then realizing it doesn't work anymore. I can't wait for that.

Sounds awesome, but I'm usually not the type to bring my 3DS out into public, for a couple different reasons, one being I like to keep it protected at home, and the other being I don't like getting stared at. Might try it out at our local McDonald's bathroom though...

@Ren Agreed. I enjoy a good challenge, unless it's unrealistically difficult. I'm actually pretty excited that this game's not going to be a walk in the park. Can't wait!

I really don't give a crap to be honest. I'm getting the Wii U for Wii U games, not to play my Wii games. That's what I have a Wii for folks.

Can't wait for this game!

RE: Revelations, Paper Mario, Lugi's Mansion 2. Nuff said.

This game's nothing compared to other entries in the series. It's free though, so I'm not complaining.

@Bigrat Luckily the shoulder buttons work perfectly still, even after hours and hours of me and my brothers playing Oot 3D, street fighter, and SM3DL. I want MK7 so bad, but I fear that the shoulder buttons will fall apart after hours and hours of drifting. Still getting it though.

Can't wait to get this on Christmas!
@James I'm a little worried about the durability of the shoulder buttons on the 3DS, and with a game like MK7, they are used like crazy. How durable are they, and will they survive hours and hours of MK7 playing time? I just don't want them breaking on me like with my DSi.

Wow, I could not forget that puzzle in Phantom Hourglass. It stumped me long enough to realize I needed a walkthrough. Closing the DS was so simple, yet so complex. Great read Thomas. Brought back a lot of fond memories.

@2: Amen.

The way I found this website was by searching for reviews, and now, it's my main site when it comes to gaming!

Considering I already have Kirby's Adventure on my Wii, I don't think adding 3D effect would convince me to buy it again for 3DS. Still looks cool though.

I have it preordered at GameStop! (albeit it's just the game; I figured I could just use the Wii Motion Plus add-on from Wii Sports Resort) Unfortunately, I can't pick it up until Monday Oh well, I can last one day...I think.

@grumblegrumble (152) I didn't pick up my preorder at GameStop until the day after the release (Monday), and I still got a keychain.

Resident Evil 4 and Windwaker are definitely my favorites on Gamecube. And yes, I totally agree that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the best Wii game as of now (here's hoping Skyward Sword surpasses it!)

I played "Mario Kills Tanooki" on http://www.peta.org/. It sucks.

@zezzy Sony fanboy

@Corbs Thanks! Can't wait!

This is kind of a dumb question, but I'm assuming you can use the Wii Motion Plus add-on (like from Wii Sports Resort) to play this game instead of Wii Remote Plus? It's very hard to describe my excitement for Skyward Sword at this point. That's why I have it reserved! Can't wait!

Great review! No surprise though. It's a Mario game after all
Got it preordered at GameStop, but I won't be able to pick it up until Monday Sunday will be a very long day for me, knowing others are playing it and I'm not, but I think I'll survive.

Also, this probably means a review for Skyward Sword should be up within a week? I'm very satisfied right now.

I totally wasted my time with RE 5. I borrowed it from a friend over the summer for 20 bucks, and then I ended up breaking it, so my brother bought a new copy for another 60 bucks. We played through it, it was alright, but I still had to give the game back to my friend when the summer was over! 80 bucks for 3 months with an average game. RE 4 on GCN still remains my favorite RE of all time.

Definitely gonna trade in some games at GameStop for it on launch day

Does this mean we'll be able to voice chat for all online games, and with our friends? I sure hope so

Don't forget there's a new Nintendo Show 3D! I guess they only have one episode on the first Thursday of each month, unlike Nintendo Week on the Wii, which has a new episode almost every week (hence the name). Nothing too interesting to download this week.

@24 Agreed. When it comes to a Mario game (2D or 3D), it's an automatic must have for me. No review or preview could convince me not to buy it.

I'd rather look at the Nintendo Life team

While I usually agree with the reviews here at NintendoLife, I would have to strongly disagree with this one. This game had me hooked from the moment I started playing it; I couldn't stop! It is better in every way than its predecessor IMO (it was still a great game though). That just goes to show that different reviewers have different opinions, because the person that reviewed Paper Mario 64 gave it a 10/10, but noted that he still thinks the sequel is better, but still, this gets an 8.

Sounds like a great game, but probably won't pick it up since I'm covered with my brand new 3DS. I'm guessing this is probably the last worthwhile DS game to buy. Am I right?

Congrats NL! Keep it up!

So that's where "do the barrel roll" comes from! Wow, guess I'm not really in the know when it comes to Star Fox

I'm going for BIT.TRIP SAGA for my newly purchased 3DS. My gut feeling told me COMPLETE at first, but the Wii is old news to me (besides Skyward Sword, of course).

I'm getting this on my 3DS (obviously!), and since it's free, on my old DSi as well (why the heck not?)

Sweet! I'm definitely trying out bit.trip FATE. who knows i might just give the other ones a shot just for the heck of it.

poor baby lol

That's cool that they're keeping the Super Guide with this game. I never really used it with New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Galaxy 2, but for those gamers that need a little extra help, it'll be good.
