This is an excellent list of games!! Thanks Nintendo!

I haven't played the other two. So, I don't have anything to compare it to but I have been having a lot of fun with this title. That is, of course, in between playing Skyward Sword, Rayman Origins, Super Mario 3D Land and Sonic Generations. Also, I fully agree with @XD375 why all the hate? Sega is making some great games at the moment.

This is awesome news!!

I disagree with ImDiggerDan. The game is easily 10/10 in my book and well worth the money. It's twelve bucks well spent. The game is carefully and creatively crafted. It has some of the most gorgeous graphics I've seen from a game and the gameplay is fantastic. It has the quality of Super Metroid but with its own unique charm. Support this game instead of the other crap found on DSiWare. We need more games like this. (Not all on DSiWare is crap but a lot of it is and I don't want to see the same happen to the 3DS.)

This is EXCELLENT news!!

My personal Wii list would also include:

Wario Land Shake It!!
A Boy and His Blob
Sonic Colors
Endless Ocean: Blue World
Kororinpa Marble Mania
Wii Party
House of the Dead Overkill
New Play Control: Pikmin
Kirby Return to Dreamland

I've had a great time with these games and most of the ones you've listed, especially New Super Mario Bros Wii, DKCR, and Wii Sports Resort!!!

I want a blue Wii!! How very cool!

Virtual Console, please.

Super Mario 64 has had the biggest wow factor for me so far from any game. I was 13 years old and saved up all of my change from lunch money to get it. The first time I popped it in to play my mind was blown. It was just utterly amazing to my 13 year old mind and I raced home each day from school to play it. There were so many great memories from my N64 and the games including, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Bomberman 64, Mario Party 3, Mischief Makers, Goldeneye, Pokemon Snap and many, many others. Thanks Nintendo!!

@Sam_Loser2 I am a huge fan of Game & Watch Gallery 4, as well. I have almost everything unlocked. When I finally broke down and sold my GBA SP, I decided I couldn't part with my copy of G&W4. So I kept it. I might have to purchase another system just to be able to play it again. Or here's hoping to Nintendo releasing it on 3DS Virtual Console.

I love pinball!! This is good news!

Can I sneak in some love for Ghost Trick by Capcom. This game blew me away. If you haven't played it yet, now's a good time to pick it up. It's only 15 bucks on amazon!! Give this awesome game some love so we might see a sequel.

I would love to see WarioLand 5, a sequel to Legendary Starfy, a sequel to Ghost Trick, and virtual console copies of the original Shantae and the gameboy Kid Icarus. It would also be great to see some really creative use of the AR function. This is more of a 3DS wish list but to get back on topic, I believe the 3DS is going to be just fine. It is a wonderful system and will find the support it needs this holiday season. One last game to add to the wish list, please, oh please release an updated version of Gyromite. I played the crap out of that game as a kid.

I will be getting this.

I fully agree with Iwata. Nintendo is a smart company and they will pull through this rough spot of not-so-great press. The 3DS rocks and will continue to rock because of the continued support Nintendo is showing it.

Let's be positive people. 3DS just had a great conference!!

This game looks fantastic!!

Very excited!!

Wario Land 4, please.

@Nintendo Thank you.

I agree with Kevin. Please, Capcom bring Little Nemo and Ducktales to virtual console!!

Something about being an Ambassador just makes me feel good. Thank you, Nintendo.

Donkey Kong Country, Earthbound, Super Metroid, Super Mario World or Yoshi's Island.

Earthbound!! One of my most memorable gaming experiences as a kid. Also, Uniracers, a surprisingly well-made 2-D racer. This game spent a lot of time in my SNES.

@vonseux AGREED!!! Really fantastic game!!

@Magi I saw the Target promotion but that still had nothing to do with the price drop. Didn't anybody else expect the 3DS to be all over the Sunday ads yesterday? The official price drop was on Friday. I would have thought that that was a clear indication that we could have expected 3DS to be front page on most ads or at least somewhere in the ad. Both Target and Best Buy didn't even mention the 3DS at all. That's just so odd to me. I was very ready to take advantage of some sale that was going on yesterday, only to find nothing.

@mushroomer I know the official price drop is in effect. My point was more the fact that it seems like retailers would want to promote the price drop any chance they got but that doesn't seem to be the case. $80 is a significant drop and I would want to be the first to tell customers and offer some kind of "buy 1 get 1 half off on games promotion" to go along with it. Basically, anything to get the consumer to shop at my store. The price drop was intended to help sell the 3DS. How is that going to happen if the common consumer doesn't know anything about it. I'm wondering if the retailers are pissed at Nintendo and are holding off with promoting the 3DS at this point.

Also, just to say, I'm loving my 3DS!!

Is anyone else concerned that Best Buy, Target, Toys 'R Us, etc. have not advertised the official price drop at all. Maybe it's only in my area but the 3DS didn't even make it into the local Sunday ads for Best Buy or Target. It has me wondering, why?

Don't do it, Nintendo!! You'll be fine in the long run.

I'm just happy that more people are buying the 3DS. It really is a great system and I want to see it have a tremendous amount of support. I downloaded Super Mario Land last night. I had an original Gameboy Pocket but never got the opportunity to play this game as a kid. It's awesome getting the chance to play a piece of Mario history I missed out on.

I agree with pntjr. This game deserves an 8 easily. It's a blast to play with a group of people. It also does a nice job of offering a wide range of skill level needed for the different games. This makes it perfect for a family gathering or with a group of friends. Very creative uses of the Wii Remote Plus. Personally, I am very happy to have this game in my collection.

I downloaded it and have been enjoying it so far. It really makes you think. There is some trial and error but mainly it's very well thought out puzzles. Overall, I'm happy that I got it.

I will NOT be buying a 3DS until the GBA games are available for anyone to purchase.

Warioland 4

@James Thanks.

Just curious, is there going to be a Bobby Carrot Forever review?

I agree with some of the other comments on here. If Nintendo doesn't allow people to purchase these GBA games after this initial promotion I will not buy a 3DS. I just don't have the money right now to get one and typically I wait about a year anyways to let the bugs be worked out. The main thing that was drawing me to buy one was the Virtual Console. Now, Nintendo is saying I will be restricted from some of my all-time favorite games. I've always loved and supported you Nintendo but that's just crap. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a wonderful and generous promotion otherwise, except for that one detail. Honestly, I doubt there is a single launch-buyer that would complain that the games become available for sale after they get their copies for free. This is ridiculous. Very bad marketing.

Frog Suit.

The original Kid Icarus was perfect. It was the perfect level of difficulty and was an absolute blast to play. If you are having trouble, try this site: http://www.flyingomelette.com/kidicarus/kidicarusshrine.html . This game took the best elements of the classic NES games and melded them together into something original. This game is easily in my top ten favorites!!

This is EXCELLENT news!! I was hoping for a sequel in the style of Mega Man 9 & 10 but this would be awesome as well. I was just playing Kid Icarus last night on the Wii. It is by far one of the best classic NES games. And PLEASE release Myths and Monsters on VC for the 3DS. I would buy a 3DS just for that!!

I wanted to love Nights on the Wii but there were too many things getting in the way of that. I never had the chance to play it on the Dreamcast. So a non-rushed version for the 3DS, without the stages that you play as the kids, would be my choice. Seriously, Sega has so many great franchises. Let's see some more brought back with the same quality as Sonic Colors!! (Billy Hatcher was actually decent too.)

Shantae: Risky's Revenge, enough said.

Received:
Wii -
Rabbids Go Home
Sonic Colors
Super Mario World
DS -
Batman Brave and the Bold
Super Scribblenauts

Gave as gifts:
Wii -
Haunted House
DS -
Wheel of Fortune
Professor Layton (D.Box & U. Future)
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors
Shantae: Risky's Revenge

I purchased this game recently and must say, it's one of the best games I have encountered for the DS. So many different things to do and the main game play is just a blast!! Favorite DSiware purchase so far.

Well, crap, I was planning on getting the Wii version but this looks pretty great!! *Corbie, please review these because so far you seem to enjoy and appreciate the same type of games as I do. (Do Re Mi, Pop Island and Starfy were recent purchases made because of your recommendations. Also, I fully agree on A Boy and his Blob) Thanks for the great and accurate reviews!!

Very, very excited about this game! Great contest, thanks for the opportunity!
