Seems like a fun stage, was fun to battle the Octolings there. Hopefully I can finally find some time to actually play the game this weekend, I've been really busy with school.
I live in Europe, but they did have some pretty decent content IMO. The app itself was pretty slow though. And can I just say I love the Nintendo Video menu music?
I can live with Snapchat, their first posts seem pretty cool. Periscope is still clearly in development and not availlable to many devices, so I'm not really a fan of it yet. I specifically like what NoE is doing on Twitter and Facebook, their social media team has some pretty good humour.
Might pick it up when it comes to Europe, but I'm a bit sceptical as the Mario & Luigi games got VERY repetitive after a while in my opinion. It's been a while since I played Dream Team Bros. though, so maybe I should give it another shot.
I actually prefer this over the demo being a seperate download that you need to delete when you got the full game, as long as they make it clear the full game isn't free.
Got some great memories with this one. Me and my friends and family spent a lot of time playing the minigames together when we went on a vacation together. The platforming was pretty great too. I'd say I prefer NSMBU over this one, but it had some pretty cool levels.
While Codename Steam looks like a lot of fun, I just don't have the time and money to buy and play it. There are so many games coming and so many that I still need to finish, I'll sadly need to skip a few this year...
I absolutely loved what I played, just wished we could get a little more time. I think I had one communication error, other than that no problems at all. The game played smoothly and loading and connection times were short. Can't wait for the full game to release.
@Poketendo Nintendo used to have some partnership with KPN that allowed 3DS owners to get free internet acces (normally those hotspots are paid), but since KPN's partnership with FON that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
If they really want to step away from Professor Layton I'd have preferred to see another game like Mystery Room, which was actually pretty good. Ah well.
I've been pretty sceptical about Mario Party 10, but not playing a MP game in quite a long time kind of makes me want to buy it. I generally don't have many friends over though.
Scores make people compare games in ways they're not meant to be compared by. A game with a score of 9 isn't always much better than one with an 8, but there are people who think so. So, I prefer a label system like Eurogamer and GameXplain, so that there still is a short way to tell how much you (as a reviewer) like a game, without people instantly comparing it to other games.
I got my Ambassador Edition today, and I'm really impressed. The menu and apps like Miiverse are a lot faster and smoother, the super stable 3D works really well and the start and select buttons are back to where they belong. C-stick feels weird at first, but it definitely makes Smash feel more... Smash.
Saying goodbye to my old 3DS is gonna be difficult, though. Bought it day one, and I have so many great memories of it.
And I had doubts about the future of the 3DS. Seriously, I absolutely love the 3DS and with the New 3DS and another FE game coming , it might very well be my favourite system ever.
So, my payment service screwed up. Now I have to wait for them to send the money back to my bank account so I can give that money to someone else with a normal credit card. This is gonna be a long week waiting for it...
@GreatPlayer Of course, I would also prefer a new console game, but I have to say that right now it's important for SEGA to keep Sonic a well known character, and a mobile game is a good way to do that.
Sonic's mobile games so far have been pretty good, and in the case of Sonic Dash even pretty great, so I'm pretty optimistic about this. Hopefully we'll get more info soon.
Hmm, 8 is probably my favourite because of, well, everything except the items. 7 is a close second though, they had a perfect item balance and still some pretty good track designs and music. Looks pretty good too. Wii was a ton of fun, but really unbalanced and ugly. Every game past that hasn't aged all that well in my opinion, though I still have some nostalgia towards DS, as that was pretty much the first game I've ever played.
Hmm, I believe I said something like "they probably just want to make the game run as good as possible on the Wii U, so that's why they delayed it." a few months ago. Looks like I was right after all.
Still interested in the game, will probably pick it up once I'm done with Smash and Captain Toad. Knowing Ubi, the price should be a bit lower by then.
According to Google Translate, it can three-body housing the body and the contents will use the soft material of brushed system, gently houses the amiibo body!
@MagicEmperor I don't think there has been any Sonic game rushed to the point of it being broken since 06. Sure, the quality of some titles may be arguable, but they weren't broken.
I just don't understand why they chose a development studio who has never created a video game before. This is just Big Red Button trying random stuff out to see what works and what doesn't.
It's so sad, too. Action/adventure platformers like these have become pretty rare, so I've been really looking forward to this.
And sadly, even the biggest Sonic fans who were actually looking forward to this and who DID get a review copy don't seem to be happy with the game, either...
Gotta admit, I agree. The New Super Mario Bros. games control beautifully, but the original... not so much in my opinion. Never played Wonder Boy, so can't say how those controls are for myself.
I love how this is the exact same trailer NoE uploaded a day earlier. They did that with the Smash 3DS launch trailer too, except then it was a month later, for some reason.

Dash is actually a really fun game, and while it doesn't compare to console games it's a great way to increase interest for the brand.

Looks cool!
What I like about New 3DS is that you can basically get any special/limited edition you want, just by buying a €15 cover plate.
Re: Fire Emblem's Two Versions Will Offer Very Different Challenges
Yeah, I'll play the White Kingdom.
I really loved Awakening, but I'm not patient enough to think about strategies.
Re: Guide: Improve Your Wii U's External Hard Drive Performance By Disabling Sleep Mode
Mine doesn't go to sleep as far as I know, as it has it's own power button. It does make a ridiculous amount of noise when in use though.

So, just to remind everybody: This has nothing to do with the previous Ambassador Program for people who bought their 3DS before the price-drop.

Nice to see Crunchyroll in Europe. People who haven't played EDGE yet should also definitely give it a shot, it's an amazing little game.

I believe this update also includes amiibo options for the New 3DS. Software updates from the Home Menu sounds good too.
