Its funny Blockbuster pretty much killed off all the Mom and Pop video rental stores and now Redbox and Netflix killed off Blockbuster. I prefer RedBox anyways since its so cheap and in nearly every grocery store and Wal-mart and only ^$1 for movies and $2 for games.

Also $49.99 Skylanders Wii and $24.99 Scriblenauts Unmasked and Rayman Legends.

Oh and it looks like Xenoblade and Metroid Trilogy will be knocked down to $39.99 on page 10!

Aparantly on page 9 it also looks like Wii U is getting a Skylanders bundle also.

Here's the actual link to the ad and Burning_Spear is correct the Luigi one is a standard 3DS. http://www.theblackfriday.com/ads/gamestop/gamestop-black-friday-ad8.shtml

This reminds me when there were tons of bad reviews for last years Mickey Mouse game and it was probably my favorite 3DS game that year. I played this game at Comic-Con and its awesome go out and get it, ignore the reviews.

I knew that going multiplatform would backfire on them. Hopefully they learn their lesson for the next game.

I think that the speed of releases is great, theres nothing this week, but I have a bunch of games that I'm behind on Downloading.

@Samurai_Goroh

Yeah I agree these games are better when played in a group on a console system.

Man that's exciting!

I meant to put Project X Zone after Fire Emblem.

All of these RPGs are great, I hope though that we get more tactical RPGs for the 3DS, we got Fire Emblem and but I would love a new Final Fantasy Tactics and Advance Wars, but for AD return it back to the more light hearted ways of the first few games.

3DS and DS versions have always been lesser versions to the console versions unfortunately. I did notice a poster at Gamestop which listed a Nintendo Wii version which supprised me since Nintendo Life reported that there wouldn't be a Wii version. So I'll probably ether get the Wii or Wii U version.

I played the 3ds version at Comic-Con and its awesome! I was able to watch someone play the Wii U version and to me I couldn't tell the difference between the two.

I haven't seen puzzle games for a long time so this might be a fun change of things.

Man I'm glad that I got mine when it came out, Its been about a year and a half and I'm only half way through (just finished the prison area). I'm curious if its going to be so high in value in a couple of years. You never know with these things, sometimes they rocket in value and other times they plummet.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that hated the 3DS Castlevania game, I was happy when I saw it do so horribly that they had to discount it so soon.

@Dyltheman I would guess the main controller with the stylus like you do with Mario and Rayman to ether help or hinder the main player.

I played the 3DS version at Comic-Con and its just as great as the Wii U version, so excited to get this! I'm curious though, you can create the RC vehicles for use on the Wii U, but can you keep them on the 3DS and use them there?

I played the 3DS version at Comic-Con and loved it!

I'm not that worried, things look bad, but Nintendo's well off enough as a company that they can weather this and once we get this Fall and Springs new games things will be even better. I just hope that we get a price drop. That's what got me to buy my 3DS, I could have cared less that Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 were coming out (which I have and love both), I bought the 3DS the day that it had a price drop.

I like the dungeons, if they can do something similar in different locations I'd go for it, but frankly I'm not tired of the dungeons as he says that people are.

I never got Skyward Sword or Xenoblade puzzles, I received a Nintendo Starlets Puzzle.

Just bought all of them! Now I'll finally have something to do with the 300 walking coins that have just been sitting there.

I'm not that bothered by this, I would rather have had them free, but its been so long since we got a new Find Mii game and I have nothing else to spend my walking coins on, so I'm fine with this. It would be nice if every once in awhile they threw us a free game like they gave out the free New Super Mario Classic Mario DLC along with the paid ones.

Slim pickings for 3DS this week, but thats ok I need to catch up on Fire Emblem and Super Mario DLC.

The 3rd game is only the 3DS version of the Wii U game.

I hope that Nintendo buries them in the ground.

Man that looks awesome! I hope that the 3DS version is great also.

I hope that USA gets this soon, although I would rather get the hard to find Advance game which had levels from both 1 and 2 of the arcade game. Or even better the full versions of both.

I bought conquest and then shortly after traded it to Gamestop for an E-Shop card so that I could download Fire Emblem.

So I'm curious is the Mario & Sonic game will be another Olympics type game or an actual platformer. I've wanted a Mario vs Sonic platformer ever since the 90's.

I am really hoping they do for 3DS like last summer where they release a new good game every week all summer.

THe only reason why Castlevania and Megaman haven't been selling is because they haven't even been making games in the last few years, if they would make a game then it would sell. I tried the new Castlevania at Wondercon and its horrible.

While I love the 3D game that we got for the 3DS I would love a 3D game thats more like the Universe/Wii games on the 3DS.

Man this is so awesome!!!!!! I'm getting more and more excited about the game! I hope that like the New Marios they do at least one LttP type game per system.

Casual all the way, I'm used to games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Advance Wars and I'd rather enjoy a game rather then being all stressed out about losin g characters. To each their own though.

I agree with Bingly, I hated the stylus controls on Hourglass and Tracks, I really hope that they ether go straight button/directional pad or give us both options. THe game looks awesome though! Can't wait to play it.

I gave up on the Wii Channel when they killed the Alison and Gary and Evil Gary show, (I miss that show!). And most of the other things I never used. I'm just glad that we still keep the Wii Shop and hopefully the Mii Maker.

I love these, but already have Mario and Metroid, I might go for the Kirby one, but probably not.

@rjejr Most of the authors of this blog live in the United Kingdom/England area I believe.

Thats awesome! I got both Epic Mickey games last Christmas and like them better then most of the games I got then, I really don't get the dislike. Kind of sad about there not being a 3rd one since the ending set up somethings with the Petes.

Man I used to love these! With the resurgence of other 80's like Transformers, GI Joe, etc I'm supprised that they haven't been brought back in the States yet, hopely they will be really popular in Japan and will make their way here again.

Pleeeeeease Final Fantasy Tactics A3!

I love WayForward and absolutly love all of their games, but I feel a little sadness for the Epic Mickey guy since he said that he wanted to make a Ducktales game if EM 2 did well besides a 3rd EM. He must have seen that announcement and felt a little bummed.

On my personal 3DS I download T rated games since its less tempting for my kids to try and play them since I can hide them in a folder, everything else I buy the physical copy.

THey shouldn't just limit these to PAX, they should have stacks of these in every Gamestop, Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Toys R Us, etcalong with these as ads in magazines and newspapers. Also a TV Advirtising campain if they are serious about changing that image.

None of these releases interest me, but for me thats a good thing since I'm still trying to get through all of the Christmas games along with Fire Emblem and Code of Princess.

So I'm not clear is this a Wii U download? is it a retro review? What system will this be released on?

That looks awesome, although I actually would love just a Wii or 3DS download of the original.
