@Dazza Oh hey what? This game is from July 2012? haha, I didn’t catch that, lol.

So this is coming to the US? If so I WANT IT, lol.

Hey wait a second... this is a physical release? I just assumed this'd be an eShop game... that doesn't make any sense...

@BulbasaurusRex: Basically, ecchi is like softcore hentai; and it's definitely what this game is! With ecchi, nothing is overtly sexual - it's up to the viewer to "fill in the blanks". So it's basically just highly suggestive, whereas hentai is, well, you know...

Seeing as I have never heard of Puyo Puyo before... it leads me to believe that it's a "Japan Thing"...

Haha, those graphics, though... well anyway, like it says, there's really nothing to complain about. I mean, it's tangrams. What more does it need?

@shinpichu: I kinda like ecchi, though...
It's better than hentai, at least!

@2Sang: If they did it right... Nintendo and Apple getting together to make a handheld could be great! It could play the DS and 3DS line of games, but also have access to the app store, and could have it's own games! As long as it remained the only way to play Nintendo IPs and didn't get too expensive, it'd be unstoppable!

@DarkKirby yeah that's what I saw too!

Again, why no 3DS screenshots? The Wii U version is cool and all, but I'd like to see the 3DS version, too!

@unrandomsam: OK, that's two games - I have 14 retail games for 3DS now, and there are at least five more I'd really like to get... I cannot say the same thing about iOS.

I think they overlook one big thing, and that's

Pokémon!

With Pokémon on its side, Nintendo is just fine.

End of Nintendo my butt, lol.
Yeah right, guys... external controller for iPhone means nothing to Nintendo.

@Yukari_Sendo: Normal games don't have "...ridiculously impractical sushi-eating techniques..." Normal games have practical sushi eating techniques.

Maybe I can convince my parents to get me a 2DS if it's only $99.96!

"...ridiculously impractical sushi-eating techniques..."
...wut?

Anyway, glad to hear this turned out good! ...I may just have to get it!

The 'Q' part of the title makes me think of this guy, lol:

I always thought that series was weird to begin with... interesting...

@Klimbatize: OMG you're right! haha! That's great! Tellin' it like it is, lol.

It is time once again to burn it in my Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace!

Hmm! Sounds like good fun! Definitely the way I like my Pac-Man platformers, whimsical and fun! And that's nice to hear that it has no backtracking, that was the one thing I didn't like about Pac-Man World 2 on GBA; I jokingly (and lovingly) refer to it as "backtracking the game", lol. I hope the 3DS version turns out just as good!

@JuanitoShet: I do the same thing with my little sister! I've been playing games with her since she was born - we have pictures of me playing GBA with her watching when she was just a baby! She's been entranced by video games all her life - and she's better at them now than I was at her age!

I definitely know that feeling of having a game burned into your memory, two of my first games (while significantly less well known), Mini Car Racing for PC and Pac-Man World 2 for GBA - are now permanently burned into my memory, and I will remember those experiences forever.

The tagline!
My sides! If you've got me singing the tagline in my head, that's a good thing!

I want this game so bad! Seeing footage of this game a few months ago is what motivated me to continue working on Indie games myself! This game was a big inspiration to me; I can't wait to play it myself!

Shows off the power of Mario and Pokémon! Definitely Nintendo's two most popular franchises, by far. And my favorites, too!

@Dyl_73: That's as expensive (or potentially more expensive) than the game was! Sheesh!

Just how expensive is it?

Even with all the talk that Xbox One and PS4 have better graphics... you still can't look at SM3DW or MK8 and not think they look beautiful.

@AJWolfTill Wow, I did not expect to see a reference to THAT here! lol

Amazing! And the game isn’t even out yet! It’s gonna sell like crazy!

@Dark-Luigi Same here.

What in the world did Nintendo do to this guy? Like somehow ruin his family or something?

Oh no! I saw the title of this article, and started thinking "Conception II... Conception II... where have I heard that before...?" And then I realized "It's not that crazy PSP game in which you must 'father an army', is it...?" I read the article and holy crap, it is!!! Oh my. I never expected to see this get localized!!! lol

Sounds like a nice idea! A Nintendo educational tablet is something I'd like to see! If they made it, I'd hope to see them at my little sister's school.

@Yukari_Sendo Well great! I loved the bonus game at the end in SM3DL! Maybe that's how you get Rosalina (instead of Luigi)?

@Yukari_Sendo I think the fact that the game is good enough to be worthy of a 10/10 makes up for the lack of a bonus world.

Holy canoli! back when that first teaser trailer was released, I never expected a 10/10 would come out of it! Absolutely stunning!

Interesting to see those little notes floating around in that screenshot, lol. I've never thought of doing that before, when making a game... huh.

Well this is unexpected.
I'm not sure if any of the arcades around here will get it; it seems they're happy with what they've got. A couple of them seem to try to keep up with the modern arcade games... but just kinda... I liked the first Mario Kart Arcade GP, though!

@OdnetninAges I'm exactly the opposite: I love Adventure Time but cannot stand Regular Show!

I remember the movie King of Kong! We watched it in Computer Multimedia class years ago!

These guys are absolutely insane! I can only wish to play games this good! Funny that Billy Mitchell, star of aforementioned movie, came in 22nd, lol.

Why do the 3DS screenshots always stink? Why can't we have interesting screenshots of the 3DS version? I guess they are trying to promote the Wii U, but still... the 3DS version is cool too!

"Although you'll need to go to Japan if you want one"
Damnit.

Wii U had a good (enough) first year! Let's hope it picks it up in year two!

Well good! I always knew my behavioral problems had nothing to do with my playing video games... jk

Great study. More people need to do similar studies - if they all have similar findings, we can finally put this rumor to rest and play video games in peace.

@longtimegamer Really? I might have to reconsider getting this one, then...

I really enjoyed this game on PC! One of few match three games I actually liked, lol. I love the flowing energy mechanic; which I have seen copied in other match threes but never done as well as in this one. ...it does need to be played on a big screen, however. The 3DS is probably too small...

@JogurtTheYogurt My assumption is that if you cancel your subscription, you can still take Pokémon out of the bank, you just can't put any more in. That would make sense to me. But I con't actually know; that's just what I would guess.

I love your reviews, @Philip_J_Reed!
