Darn... Darn Darn Darn... No love for Albertans. Oh well, I'll be in the States that week anyways. Still, I'm happy to see Canada getting some attention.
Super Monkey Ball!! And maybe Pilot Wings. I sold my DSLite months ago so I'm still buying this day one. I've got new DS games I haven't even played yet!
Trying not to let my hopes get too high. I loved the original...and this looks like it's going to be fantastic. Went from "wait for reviews" to "instabuy" for me!
lol... Thanks guys! Not like I can afford one right now, but it'll be great to keep track of the games I'll purchase when I win a lottery... doesn't have to be a big one, I'll be happy with oh, a couple thousand or so.
Zach, I can relate. My dad was THIS close to selling our SNES, until I caught wind of his plans and went into the crying/begging/hunger strike mode till I was assured my games weren't going anywhere. Kids today have no idea...
@TokenGirl: They do seem to love shortages, don't they? There were several games (not to mention the system itself) that just disappeared one day, despite assurances from Nintendo that they were definitely still in production...
Hey, it's my 25th birthday on Sunday!! Wow, that totally makes me feel special now... considering the only celebrity I thought I shared a birth month/year with was Baby Shamu the whale.
The smartest thing Nintendo did was include the slider to have the option to play in 3d... if parents are worried, super-glue the slider. Problem solved.
I suppose shape-shifting makes up for not being able to absorb enemies' abilites, but I have to admit I'm a tiny bit disappointed about that. They could have done it so that the enemies' abilities get "woven into Kirby's threads" or something. I don't know, maybe that's why I'm not a game developer
This would have been fantastic if it came out before the Wii. However, I've already got my wii fit, my wii sports, and my wii party games. To me, I'm not going to pay $450 for an Xbox and Kinect just to do the same thing all over again without a remote in my hand. Just not enough difference.
This was the first game in Nintendo's press conference that made me hop around in my seat. AND I couldn't even share my excitement with anyone cause nobody loved DKC the way I did... sniff. Merci Nintendo!!
Okamiden!!! And de Blob: Underground, but for the Wii. Now that they have a jumping button and possible co-op play, that's my next highly anticipated game... almost as much as SMG2.
I agree with warioswoods. After finishing SMW, I just perfected using the cape so I could fly across levels. No glitch. Just skill. If it weren't for the ability to use yoshi as a springboard, I wouldn't have found the Cheese Bridge secret (i think it was that level...)
Fantastic, that review was spot on. I can't believe I just spent half my holiday monday glued to the wii. I even had my husband make me dinner and bring me water. He had just as much fun being "player 2"!
Actually, if I didn't already have the "Fireplace Channel" on cable, I would seriously consider this. I had my tv set to the fireplace channel during the whole Christmas holidays, and it also played Christmas carols. It was the perfect background to many a Christmas party. But for the other 50 weeks of the year? Hmm...
"Iwata ensured that Wii Party will have the full might of Nintendo behind it". This is definitely on my radar. Looking forward to another game I can play with my whole family
I'd pick this up for $9.99 at Wal-Mart. But only because I occasionally bring my Wii to my dad's, which is half a mile away. And my kitty still hasn't grown out of his chewing phase, and the thin wire for the sensor bar is his particular favourite...
Definately one of my most favourite games... Yes, the battle systems were complex, but the game was long enough that you had time to learn each aspect of battle (badges, flower points, heart points, audience help/hinder, timing, partner abilities, etc.) By the end of the game, you really feel like you've developed some amazing skills. REALLY close tie between this and super paper mario.

Re: Who Dares to Release We Dare in the UK? Not Ubisoft!
I guess Canada was lumped in with the US... again. Not that I'm disappointed, mind you. I still feel slightly nauseous when I think of that trailer...
Re: Ubisoft's Brand Spanking New Party Game is a Sexy Shocker

Re: 3DS: Including StreetPass, SpotPass, eShop, Mii Maker & AR Cards
3D camera would be neat... but I'm really looking forward to trying out the AR cards. This would be awesome with so many other games!
Re: Pull Up a Chair and Get Acquainted with Okamiden's Cast
Getting so hyped about this!! Definitely need to replay Okami (again, for the sixth time) before this comes out.
Re: Shopping Malls to Bring Gamers Together as Part of Nintendo's Tour

Re: Disney Epic Mickey Music "Will Make You Cry" says Warren Spector
Wish the clip had more to listen to other than them just telling us it sounds good, but from the little I heard, should be good

Re: THQ Shows Its Support by Bringing Multiple Titles to the 3DS
I'll take de Blob for sure... and I don't mind waiting since I'll be broke after getting the 3DS itself.
Re: Review: Rummikub (DSiWare)
This is one of the few board games I still play... but I kinda doubt it would be as fun with just me.
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare)
"belly-dancing abilities" and "hair-whipping action"? Hmmm, might look into this after all... and also the 10/10 review helps too.
Re: Marvelous "Working to Meet Needs" of Little King's Story Fans
Ooo, Little King's Story gets my vote!
Re: The First Nintendo Console to Play DVDs was the NES
Whoah... that to go along with some NES bedsheets and I'll be set.
Re: 2011 Release for 3DS is a Move to Avoid Stock Shortages

Re: Interviews: Hudson - Oops! Prank Party
Hmm, now it's going to be either this or Wii party... guess I'll have to wait for reviews of both.
Re: Super Monkey Ball 3DS Title to Roll Out Next Year
Yay!! I think Monkey Ball will suit the 3DS much better than the balance board... i was quite disappointed with step & roll.
Re: Nintendo of Japan Showcases Wii Line-up in New Video
Anyone know what was after the Mario Collection pak? And after baby-sitting mama?
Re: See Plenty of New 3DS Games in Motion Right Here
Monkey Ball? Oooo, that's a new one I hadn't heard about yet
Re: See 3DS's Menu, Mii Creator and More in Motion
@29: lol. I didn't realise I'll need a 3DS to continue living... all the more reason to pick one up day of launch.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Races to WiiWare on October 11th
1500 points... does anyone know how many levels there will be?Just want to make sure it's worth it.

"filling the pleasure meter before time runs out" AAHHAHAHAH.... Wow, I really enjoyed reading this review. 10/10 for the entertainment factor.
Re: 3DS Could Cause Eye Problems in Later Life
The smartest thing Nintendo did was include the slider to have the option to play in 3d... if parents are worried, super-glue the slider. Problem solved.
Re: 3DS Release Date and Price Will be Revealed in September
Didn't I read somewhere it'll be out by October for Japan? I'm guessing December 12 for NA, at $259.99
Re: MundoRare Shuts Down After Losing Faith in Rare's New Direction
So sad, DKC is still one of my favourite games... but I'm not one to cling to a sinking ship either. Can't wait for DKC Returns!!

Re: 3DS Could Turn Pages as Well as Heads
Whoah, definitely putting off buying my Kobo. 3DS is already a must-have, and now it could be an ebook reader? Gotta keep my eye on this...
Re: Paper Mario
TTYD was my favourite, but one in 3D will be... I wanna say "epic", but that word was kinda overused this E3, so I'll say... good.
Re: E3 2010: First Impressions: Kirby's Epic Yarn
This just in: NintendoLife changes the font on it's entire website so people stop reading "Kirby's Epic Yam"

Re: E3 2010: DS Predictions
Okamiden!!! And de Blob: Underground, but for the Wii. Now that they have a jumping button and possible co-op play, that's my next highly anticipated game... almost as much as SMG2.
Re: First Details of de Blob: The Underground Revealed
Just addressing 1) and 2) are good enough for me. That seems to be most people's complaints, so if they don't fix those... boo.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Players Already Super-Skilled and Super-Fast
I agree with warioswoods. After finishing SMW, I just perfected using the cape so I could fly across levels. No glitch. Just skill. If it weren't for the ability to use yoshi as a springboard, I wouldn't have found the Cheese Bridge secret (i think it was that level...)
