I didn't know how to really gauge my excitement for this game over screens, but that trailer has actually got me pretty excited. I enjoy games like Trials HD and Joe Danger, so this genre of physics-motor-platforming is pretty fun.
It's needed to die for sometime now. The last instrument game I really liked was Beatles Rock Band, only because I am a big Beatles fan. I hope in the next couple years, they start working on totally new projects and get out of the "music" business.
^^^ Exactly my thoughts. I know there are probably people who will read the news and say, "Well, why wait if they aren't releasing a better version?" We have seen this cycle far too often, we know there will be a revision. I for one, don't mind waiting 2 years, with college and work and such. In 2 years I will be finishing up my degree, which gives me PLENTY of time to play the 3DS with no more classes
Freaking awesome news! I for one was a huge fan of Epic Yarn, but let's be honest, we ALL know it wasn't a true Kirby game. Seeing this footage I really hope they pull off another masterpiece like they did with Epic Yarn though, but I think half of the appeal of EY was the atmosphere.
Bummer to hear that the game isn't too great. I saw it on sale at Best Buy for $35 (game and remote), and was going to use my $5 reward zone coupon on it, but REALLY glad I checked out the review before rushing down to BB and picking it up.
This Prof. Layton title and Prof. Layton vs Pheonix Wright are the main reasons I am kind of bummed I am not buying a 3DS at launch (or maybe even this year.) I just hope by the time I buy one I can still find the games, because I have never been hooked on a series the way I am hooked on Layton games.
Awesome to hear. I would love to see it make enough to warrant a sequel, allowing the dev-team to fix some of the flaws that kept the game from being truly wonderful. Needless to say, I am loving my copy and will most likely revisit it after I beat it and try things a bit differently.
I have the iPhone version and a 7 seems about right. The controls don't do it for me, although I do love the concept. It's an okay game that is fun to play for a few minutes, but i'd rather be playing Angry Birds or Cut the Rope.
Nothing for me (Guess it's a good week to be broke, haha). I will admit though, I may download Jelly Car 2 on my iPod Touch, since it's only $1 on there, instead of $5 on WiiWare.
@Arcader18: Yeah, I feel the same way. As excited as I am for the 3DS, I really doubt i'll buy it at launch or even this year. I may wait for another iteration to come out, because this year will be busy, busy for me with school and work.
I've got the Ocarina of Time Link statue from F4F, and I am quite happy with it. I think these figures get to expensive, so I won't be buying this one, but I am sure it will look cool.
I remember playing this CONSTANTLY. Great game, and I agree with Sneaker13, sure it ain't the prettiest thing around, but for the time, it was amazing.
Been wanting this game for some time now, and I saw that it finally hit that sweet-spot when it comes to pricing ($20 new at Gamestop.) Gonna pick it up tonight, can't wait, seems really interesting!
While people are reluctant to pick up Sonic Colors now, I think over time, word of mouth that the game actually is good, will help out sales. While it's a shame that it's selling poorly, I know I am really excited and can't wait to pick my copy up tomorrow.
Yeah this game is a lot of fun, my gf has it on her iPhone, but I won't buy it on WiiWare/DSiWare if its really expensive. I have my pride, and I won't pay like 5+ more times for something you can get for a dollar on the app store...
Swerd_Murd is talking about Pixel Junk Shooter, it has a very similar art style and puzzle basis. I am really excited for this game, and Dec. 6th is just around the corner, so maybe i'll get 2,000 points and buy this along with an SNES game.
I know my gf is a big CoD fan, she went to the midnight launch and picked up Black Ops on 360 and she said it's really not that great. So yeah, I guess thats testament, that people may want to skip the port and just pick up Goldeneye.
Congrats, winners! This was actually the one contest I was REALLY crossing my fingers on XD hehe, I think it was exciting because you guys are letting the winners choose which game they want, thats SUCH a cool prize.
I hate to bicker, but yeah not a great week. I just want to spend this 500 pts. I have had sitting on my DSi! hehe, maybe Chronos Twins, I hear pretty good things about it.
@SpriteKing: Yeah, with Christmas (and a vaction cruise with my gf) in Dec, I don't have the money for botch DKC Returns AND this Anniversary collection. I am thinking about just sticking with this, because I want to 100% Kirby's Epic Yarn and Metroid: Other M, so that will keep me occupied till Christmas. This collection is just too good to pass up for a huge Mario fan.
I own the first one, and have yet to beat it. Not sure why, I mean its a decent game, but I just got bored. If I beat it, I may check out the 2nd, and who knows, maybe actually get excited for a third.
Can't believe this game is just a couple weeks away. The gameplay in this trailer was SO freaking cool! Wow, the music just brings me back to my buddies and I staying up all night playing the original DKC...good times.
Kudos to AJ on getting such a big, first gig. When I thought about voice actors to play Marty, James Arnold Taylor (voice of Rachet on Rachet & Clank and Obi-Wan Kenobi on Clone Wars), does a great impression, but I think AJ hits it a bit more spot-on.
Man I love the Back to the Future series (can't wait for the blu-ray on Tuesday!) and it was awesome seeing Christopher Lloyd is involved. I am kind of with Aviator on this one...I was hoping it would stay with that dark, 2-D art, that was pretty slick. Nevertheless, I am sure I will wanna try this out.
Well I am a HUGE Prof. Layton fan and enjoyed the Ace Attorney game I did play. This sounds like an amazing crossover that i'm sure I will pick up (mainly because of Layton.)
Good luck to everyone, I hope I win, but if not, no biggie Since I own Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3 on the VC, I never got the original (since I have played it so much), but would probably pick that just to complete the trilogy, lol. Even if I don't win, just wanted to say thanks to NL for being so generous to the site visitors.

Re: Limited Edition Pokemon Black and White DSis to Hit Europe
That black one looks real sharp. While I will never see that DSi in my hands, can't wait to get the actual game in my hands!

Re: Talking Point: Your Nintendo Christmas Presents

Re: WiiWare Super Meat Boy Gets Canned
^ Same here, just downloaded it for half-off ($7.50). Good price and a fun game, I would suggest people pick it up now, because $15 is a bit steep.
Re: WiiWare Super Meat Boy Gets Canned
Bummer, i'll just pick it up on the PC then.
Re: New Kirby Patches Have Club Nintendo Rewards All Sewn Up
Hm...I like the Kirby and Fluff patches kind of...350 seems a bit steep, though.

Re: Pre-Order the Midna & Wolf Link Statue From Next Tuesday
I've got the Ocarina of Time Link statue from F4F, and I am quite happy with it. I think these figures get to expensive, so I won't be buying this one, but I am sure it will look cool.

When Nintendo released the slogan, "Get N, or get out"...this guy really took it to heart!
Re: Review: Sonic Colours (DS)
Just bought the Wii version today and love it. Since I -own a Rush game on my DS, I doubt i'll pick it up, but glad to see its good!
Re: Sonic Colours Barely Breaks into UK Top 40

Re: Mario Sports Mix Gets a Little Square Enix Boost
"Shablam!" isn't as epic as "Boomshakalaka!"....but I will still probably play this.
Re: Multiplayer in Angry Birds Will Resemble "Old School Worms"

Re: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition Coming to U.S.
Well, I know how I am spending Dec. 12. =] I knew it was coming, it's too big a deal, not to release everywhere.

Re: Here's 10 Minutes of Retro City Rampage Gameplay and Music
Amazing, simply amazing. =] That part towards the end with the car reminded me of Super Mario Bros 2 (the location).

Re: Telltale's Back to the Future Not Coming to Wii

Re: Fils-Aime: Nintendo's Biggest Current Threat is Apple
Somebody needs to photoshop some swirly hair and a red tie on Reggie in that picture...he'd look just like Donkey Kong.
Re: Meet the New Voice of Marty McFly
Kudos to AJ on getting such a big, first gig. When I thought about voice actors to play Marty, James Arnold Taylor (voice of Rachet on Rachet & Clank and Obi-Wan Kenobi on Clone Wars), does a great impression, but I think AJ hits it a bit more spot-on.
Re: Go Behind the Scenes with Back to the Future: Episode I
Man I love the Back to the Future series (can't wait for the blu-ray on Tuesday!) and it was awesome seeing Christopher Lloyd is involved.

Re: Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton Team Up on 3DS
Well I am a HUGE Prof. Layton fan and enjoyed the Ace Attorney game I did play. This sounds like an amazing crossover that i'm sure I will pick up (mainly because of Layton.)
Re: Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary
