I like where they're going with this, but they have to continue with good games for GBA, I would be amazed if they didn't include Superstar Saga, and I could care less about the NES games, I wish that instead we could choose 3-5 eShop games.
Yay and no. I'm kinda mad because I just bought Metroid Fusion and I own a few other ones... I hope we do get Mario and Luigi, though, that's one that should be a no brainer. The annoying thing is that people are still gonna have to buy a new SD card for all of those games, and well, there simply isn't enough memory for some music, 8 3D videos and the other, already-on-there stuff.
^I still don't see how the vitality sensor is useful.
But the one big thing different from the DS is scale, and a lot can be done with that, and the two screens aren't connected either, which can also add more to it.
I surprised they haven't been incorporating play coins into the games, it's obvious that AC will have use for street pass and play coins, for furniture and stuff, but also in Mario Kart, to buy new and better vehicle parts, and well in Paper Mario and Super Mario, maybe to buy some expensive and special items, or to use the Super Guide, which will likely be in Super Mario.
I think that Nintendo needs to focus less on the 3D, as everyone knows about that, and they need to address that it doesn't hurt the game to not play it in 3D, I mean i have friends that won't buy the system because they don't want the 3D, and they feel it will be wasteful if they don't use the 3D, when in fact, it is better than the previous versions in nearly every way, and the DS is dying, not nearly as fast as the Wii, but it doesn't have long left, so 3D or no 3D, it's still next generation.
Cartridges are nice for now, but I think this will be the likely last generation for them, as larger amounts of memory and home internet access are available to more people.
Huh, so funny how your and IGN's review kinda contradict each other. You say the graphics of Wuhu are nice and crisp while they say they're overused. You think the controls are great and they think they're not as precise as one would have liked. You don't really like the difficulty and that the earlier ones are "relaxing" meanwhile they say they are "mind-numbingly dull" and well it seems that the second half of the levels are extremely hard, so what about DK Returns? Everything past the cave world was hard, and yet people praised the game for its difficulty, hmm. Bottom line, this review is better suited for those that are more or less casual, meanwhile IGN's focuses more on the smaller, more exact things.
Hmm... This game seems a lot like Auditorium, but I liked that game, the computer version at least and I don't have a PS3, so this and Fluidity will probably be purchases.
Sigh, I want this game, but I also want a 3DS and a 3DS game, so I could choose this, but that would be counterproductive in my opinion, I'll probably get it in June for my B-day.
Good job, Nintendo. The funny thing is that they're both advertising the same features: graphics, touch screen, and internet, so this will be interestingly boring. As it will be the same old pattern. Sony fans will buy the PSP2 while Nintendo fans get the 3DS, the only margin where Nintendo will win is with their uncanny ability to pioneer with 3D and well this: Sure Sony is marketing to hardcore audiences and so is Nintendo, but Nintendo also markets to the casual, and well casual is just a fancy term for uninformed. So 3D plus undoubtedly cheaper pricetag equals NINTENDO!!! The only way Sony would have a chance at outselling the PSP2 is if they price it cheaper than the 3DS, then they have a chance, but that would never happen.
I hope you'll be able to transfer the Club Nintendo as well because I no longer have my DSi, which was used to help pay for my XL which is no longer with me because I am using it to pay for my 3DS.

Re: Go First-Person in New Mario Kart 7 Trailer
It's obvious to take advantage of the gyroscope, I just wish I didn't have to be in first-person view to do it. As for 3D, WOOT!!!

Re: Looks Like That Red 3DS is Releasing in Japan
See, red is my favorite color, but I would never get a red 3DS, as it makes it look too much like a toy, the black makes it look fancy and expensive.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo has Nothing to Fear from Mobile Games
I still don't understand why Nintendo just doesn't let the 3DS eShop or any of them roam free, I mean that would push them ahead so much.
