Egh, 4th.

Well, it's been fun everybody, goodnight.

Good games everyone!

That was damn close, Jesse.

WHY WOULD SOMEBODY WILLINGLY PICK SNES RAINBOW ROAD

...

TWICE

What is wrong with you people

That was a promising start

Sorry NinFreak

Woah, a lot of people left

Nooo not Alpine Pass. That track hates me.

@NinFreak

Yeah, well done. That bomb you dropped on me at Piranha Pipeway was evil.

Good game all, and congrats to Ryan.

So, who here just played Waluigi Pinball?

Stop starting races with 4 players, you dingbats

Anyway, I'm hoping to meet some people from ^that^list on the track.

Anyone here that just played 5 player Mushroom Gorge?

Well, I'm alone in a lobby now, but at least I'm IN A LOBBY.

Hope it will fill up soon..

@3DSLUIGI

Aren't you #3 on the leaderboard right now? Don't think you need to be told how to play MK7.

7 groups playing, and my 3DS refuses to join a single one.

God damn you, MK7 community system.

Connect me to a room already.

Right, going in.

Thought it would start now, but I'm two hours early..

I suck at timezones.

Jonathan Blow knows how to make a puzzle game (Braid was exquisite), and this is looking great. Day 1 buy.

EDIT: Helping a common misconception out of the world; the line drawing is how you communicate with the world, not the actual puzzles.

@True_Hero And mine too.

Also, fess up, you two are one person.

@iPlayNintendo
I'm one minute in and I haven't seen any gameplay.

@Linkstrikesback
Right, thanks!

So hell froze over?

EDIT: Wait, this is a strategy RPG? Like Fire Emblem? The (rather confusing) footage I've seen made it look like a brawler.

This should have at least brought this issue to Nintendo's attention.

How about summoning this game into Europe, Atlus?

No word about Europe?

Get on it, NoE

@AJWolfTill
But your avatar is the Funyarinpa, how couldn't you have picked up VLR?

@Mike Mason

Anyway, the text and score don't really seem to fit. Your only complaints are the sometimes unwieldy puzzle room controls (which I agree with), but other than that your text is nothing but praise. Did it score an 8 because 'it's not for everyone'?

Also, you forgot to mention the 3DS's PEC room save bug.

EDIT: to all people judging thiss on the demo, note that this game's selling point is it's mindblowing story and ending, something which is hard to highlight in a demo.

I would have bought it if it came with a screen and without motion controls, so I would have had a gameboy that could play SMG 1 & 2.

EDIT: and would have been released in Europe, but that's a whole other story.

It's bizarre that they didn't even mention Virtue's Last Reward. It's one of the best scoring games of the year (9.5 from IGN, and much more) and it just came out for their system.

If the DSi/3DS didn't have region lock, I'd be okay with this. But as a European, I simply don't have another way to get things like Pokemon Conquest outside of buying a whole second 3DS (mind you, I buy a copy of the game so the developers get their money).

What exactly does the ZombiU Premium Pack include?

I would guess:
black WiiU console, black WiiU controller and ZombiU. Is this correct?

Everyone pick desert! CHOO CHOO

That's it, I'm only going to vote for Kalamari from now on.

Can I do a small public service announcement?

Screw Luigi Circuit.

Thank you.

CEOJumpad, are you in our group?

GridAttack, neither of us will leave until Koopa Ciy has been played.

Just noticed the KITTY POWA and MAD POWA tag team in our group

BLUE SHIELD 1ST TO 5TH
#Mario Kart

Oh and good luck everyone!
Ugh not Wuhu Island 2.

Wait, aren't you also the #1 player in this community?

Wow, entered a full grand prix lobby here, great. Anyone in the room with the question mark guy?

In a battle room, never done this before!

It's 'please waiting' now, I'll join battle if I don't get a grand prix lobby.

Anyone in the room that just finished Koopa City?

Reporting in, let's go

Do other people see your 'online points' (forgot the name)? Because I remember I stopped playing MK7 when I reached 12345, and now I want to show off such numerical purity.

Will Rising Star release Aksys' USA version or will they translate on their own, and if so, what differences will there (likely) be?

@Araknie

1. You can import the previous game from the US, the original DS had no region lock so you can play it on any DS or 3DS (it's damn great, I recommend it).

2. From what I've heard, the stories are largely unrelated. This game has some nods to the previous one and one character returns, but you absolutely don't need to have played it to enjoy this.

I just made an account on this site to say: <a rel="external" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs</a>

I've cursed the 3DS region lock so much, I'm happy I don't have to buy and sell a PS Vita just to play this game.

EDIT: also, will there be any pre-order bonuses/boni, like the previous games' sweet watches?
