Seeing as I haven't had a lot of free time lately, it 's nice to play a short game knowing that If I want to, I can revisit it later. See Portal (1).

Most I'm a long-play kind of guy, but every now-and-then a short game can be refreshing.

"Everybody's Super-Sonic Racing . . ." yea, I'll just thy to leave with some shred of dignity.

I'm not sure about you guys, but I haven't been seeing that amber light when I turn the system off while downloading something.

@Damo "Software downloaded from the Nintendo eShop will include released updates and will no longer need to be updated after installation"

Actually, today when I tried downloading Zen Pinball 2, I had to download both the game and it's update data. What's more, I was able to prioritize the update data over the app itself.

Also, one more thing to add to the "Changes to Nintendo eShop" list is that app galleries (app screenshots on their respective "More Details" page) are now able to be cycled through, rather than returning to the gallery.

I think I might give this a pass, it's not like I don't already have a car inverter lying around.

WOW!!! I really did not see this coming, can't say I'm disappointed though.

Apparently, Nintendo has retracted the posted release dates.

Check the article's sources if you must.

@NintendoMaster I know, I made the same mistake myself. Reading a little deeper, you'll find that this message actually pertains to an old update (the first major update which ran the risk of bricking systems)

"GAME needs a new stock 3DS image..."
I see what you did there.

Oh boy, and I thought we had seen the last of him.
Spoke too soon.

While this is ok, I think we'd all much prefer the ability to post screenshots of all games through miiverse!

What, no mention of Mario and Donkey Kong.

I wonder if it'll be a bit like that multi-screen take on The Legend of Zelda from last November?

I can't say that I'm not happy, but the art style they chose seems a bit, oh, how shall I put this. . Crude. At the moment, the 3D images look like something from an early N64 game, and "Drawn Link" looks like he's set for a narrated Indie adventure.

I've got to give credit where credit is due, but honestly, I'd just ditch the nick-knacks and keep my systems in their original forms. Plus, if you're going for a purely authentic experience then the generic controller approach is truly not the answer (Imagine playing OOT with a dial-pad). Lastly, I'd be a bit worried to have a high-powered, experimental system, made from wood, and with low ventilation running unattended in my household.

I'm not saying that this guy has a bad idea, I'm just saying that I would have approached the situation a little differently.

Objection! It will be the third title in the series to see a digital release. (the original Mario vs. DK was a 3DS Ambassador download)

Honestly, if I were Nintendo, I'd focus my legal battles more on anti-piracy efforts.

This, though intrusive merely means that Nintendo needs to beef up security in some places.

Nice! I was actually looking in to this earlier today.

I don't know, some of those colours just. . .
Oh well, I'll just stick with my Aqua Blue 3DS and black cradle for now.

@clavier141 Yes, the repair software option is nice.

I already got 3d Classics: Kid Icarus with Uprising, and I have to say, it's amazing (especially the music towards the end), albeit with a somewhat warped and reversed difficulty curve.
One of the Punch-Out titles is about to go on sale on the WiiU VC (for 30¢), so I think I'll wait for that.
As for the other stuff, I've already passed it up once, so yea . . . , but great selection this time around

Wow, truly astonishing, is that a small screen inside the temple of time (for the moving cogs)?

Is that an ocarina on the globe?

DKCR . . .need I say more?

@Philip_J_Reed I saw this in the eShop the other day and thought, that's a review for Phil.

"BIT.TRIP Presents: Runner 2 Future Legend of Rhythm Alien was released onto the North American Wii U eShop last week"

Don't you mean "this" week?

Anyway, it looks awesome, glitch, or no glitch.

Won't be getting Runner 2 at the moment since I haven't really started an the first (I know, I'm a horrible person )

. . . but I did manage to get Crashmo, Mighty Switch Force HD, and F-Zero yesterday (before their sales ended), so I'll be getting to those in the coming weeks.

Strange, it seems like a better fit for 3DS.

For some reason, the crab shack around 00:30 reminds me of Flapjack.

Rhythm Heaven/Paradise, good call!!!

Well I think I've had about enough losing for now (sniffles), you guys are viscous!

@ YellowHare91 It's okay, I understand.

It's all right, I'm back in the action!! . . . and dead last.

I finally won in battle mode, only to have everyone else disconnect.

Wow, I've been having the best of luck. A little rusty perhaps, but getting hit off the the course consecutively and then Bullet bill pulling me straight off the course twice, what is this?

@Conzo I gouss you and I will be crying ourselves to sleep. :/

Oh well, off to the Battles!

Sigh, I've got a bit of work to do first, but if all goes well, I'll be there, albeit a bit late.

. . . Now if only I can revive my L/R buttons.

Those are some seriously strange ears on that bunny.

"Match Making" I thought Nintendo went out of 'that' sort of business years ago!

@pixelman This is why I love Nintendo, not the specs, but the franchises, the solid game-play, and the light-hearted experiences with friends and family.

I'll try to be there later in the evening, but it depends how the evening is going.

Can't wait!
After this, and the WW remake, all major releases in the series (excluding FSA) will be available to play on modern hardware.

I still don't get it. Why does it have to run through the LAN adapter instead of WIFI, better yet, why does it have to run through the Wii U at all, can't they just patch the 3DS version?

Yes, a driver that lets the PC see a WiiU Pro controller as an Xbox 360 controller would be awesome!!

Also, I've used glovepie before, and it works quite well, but getting the controllers to pair can be a real pain.

I wasn't interested in any of these in the first place, but free DLC will be good.

@Sony what ever happened to your 10-year commitment?

Never intended to get it, just not my genre.

The only one I have is Bird and Beans.
. . . but I have to say I got burnt out on PM:TTY and Super Paper Mario and I think I'd want to play Kirby and The Amazing Mirror, Kirby's Epic Yarn (both backlogged), and Kirby's Adventure before I pass judgement on the series.
That said, I don't see anything jumping out at me begging me to cash in my coins atm.

As if we expected any less!!!

More! More!! MORE!!! Can we have an exclusive character? oh, and MORE!!!!!

I suppose I'll eventually pick up Rayman Legends, but it won't be new, and it won't be full-priced.

Yes, I expected the devs weren't to blame (having them work their fingers to the bone, before telling them was just cruel!).

It's all because of that overhead, administrative, garbage that goes on. In short, we (the ones who line their wallets), have to suffer as a result of their POORLY THOUGHT-OUT, LAST-MINUITE DECISION!!!

ok, I'm done venting. . . for now.
