I'm a huge fan of the boxart. Delightfully vibrant! The game... ehhhh. I might still pick it up — the last Mario Party I got was the 4th. Trouble is, the games were fun back when I had loads of friends ready to drop by my place on a whim. Getting together a group of like-minded Mario Partying individuals isn't so easy anymore.
Most excellent. I haven't been playing a whole lotta Pushmo lately, since I got hopelessly stuck on puzzle #234 a while back. Thanks for the inspiration!
It's really cool, but I'm still not totally convinced by its utility. Why is this that much better than simply changing the field of view on the primary display... with a right thumbstick, for example?
@espinozac7: It's just a Zelda tech demo tailor made for the Wii U. They used the Twilight Princess art style, but it's not really from a game, per se.
HAHAHA I hated Kirby Right Back At Ya when it was on TV, but the opportunity to see it in 3D on Nintendo Video may be just novel enough to get me to do so.
Can't wait till the Xbox 720 comes out! Then I can buy the 360 for dirt cheap and finally play those XBLA games I've been yearning for. Super Meat Boy, as an example. Oh, and a couple exclusives too, like Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey.
I have long since given up hope for Super Meat Boy making it to a platform I actually want it on (Wii, PS3, DS, 3DS) and since I can't get behind the idea of playing a game like that on PC — I tried and it didn't feel right — I'll just have to wait till I can afford an Xbox 360, which will henceforth be referred to as my Super Meat Boy Box.
In the meantime? Isaac on 3DS is something I DO WANT.
It's super addictive and unabashedly fun, but there is indeed plenty of space for improvement. For all the awesome little touches there are just as many wrinkles. Fortunately, as they are merely wrinkles, it shouldn't take a tremendous amount of effort to smooth them out with updates.
So, we all know that in North America, the game is called Pushmo, while named Pullblox in Europe. But, its Japanese name "Hiku-Osu" essentially means "Push and Pull"!
I fast forwarded through the "show" and just watched the trailers and reveals. Much better use of my time. I did stop for a second to listen to Shiggy's acceptance speech, however. It was a rare treat to hear him speak in English; we all know how much he shies away from it, lest his meaning not come across as intended. But he did a great job!
If the 3D effect truly is that bad, it will be mighty unfortunate. There hasn't been a 3DS game yet which I have not played on maxed out 3D. Guess I'll find out for myself.
Would have been nice if the port were a bit more polished, but I won't complain too much. Just want to get my hands on it now, since I missed it on PS2.

Game seems perfect for 3D too. That's a shame!

Re: Review: Mutant Mudds (3DSWare)
In half a year, the eShop might already be better than WiiWare has been throughout it's entire lifespan. So excited for the future of this platform!

Re: Majora's Mask and Dr. Mario Join Club Nintendo Rewards
Ah well, none for me this time! I've still got my copy of LoZ Collector's Edition, so there's no need to invest in Majora's Mask on VC.
Re: Get Into this Rhythm Heaven Fever Teaser Trailer
Easily one of my most highly anticipated games of 2012. Caaaaaaaan't wait!

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th January 2012 (North America)
Only $5.99, you say? I can dig it. I'm not fully sold on the game just yet, though it looks promising, so I'll wait for a couple reviews to come in.
Edit: OK, so, I was totally confusing Samurai Sword Destiny with Sakurai Samurai. Goshdarnit.
Re: 3DS Hardware and Software Tops Japan's 2011 Charts
So FFXIII-2 did end up outselling Tales of Xillia, after all. Interesting.

Yay, Canadian representation! Won't be long till they announce the Toronto show now, I'm sure
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th January 2012 (Europe)
It angers me tremendously that NA seems to be getting left out from the Kid Icarus (and special edition 3DS) promo. Sigh.
