Woah Last Blade 2 - lekker!!

What a cool concept, and great price! I think I might enjoy this more than actual chess. Great review mate!

@V8_Ninja Definitely; the airbrake is on during that entire video, so it can get much faster than that!

Like @iphys mentioned it is quite a bit harder at full speed, especially with the twitchy shooting (which you can see in that video, as well), and there are definitely parts that would be impossible without the airbrake. For me, the fun's in learning the line with the airbrake on, and then going back and trying to rush through as fast as possible, just using the airbrake to help shoot down the force-field enemies and make really tough checkpoints. It helped a lot when I realized you could land on rooftops to get your bearings, too!

Awesome job mate, what a great read! Can't wait for this game!

@tealovertoma To be fair, I hadn't heard of that game before you mentioned it, I just reviewed this one and enjoyed it. Aaaaaaaaa&c does also look great though!

Man I still love my Pokéwalker! As cool as Pokémon Black & White were, after SoulSilver it really felt like a step back not being able to throw a Pokémon into my pocket every time I went for a walk. I've shipped the Pokéwalker across the Atlantic a few times too, and it's hilarious how many watts it gets in transit!

Still don't understand how you're supposed to catch any Pokémon without holding down & B.

Great review mate!!

@stuffedmushroom Aww he totally looks like a Simba!! =D Mine's named Olivia but we call her Ollie. That's too cool!! Glad to see they both like Pokémon - Ollie's racked up quite a few watts for me on the PokéWalker by knocking it around the room when I'd leave it on my desk! =D

@stuffedmushroom WE HAVE THE SAME KIND OF BUNNY!

Also, @SpaceKappa awesome review mate!! =D It's made me wanna pop back into the Pokéverse with Soul Silver to tide me over!

Love this game, and love the tagline! =D Great review, Katy!

Pikachu I would buy you a transatlantic ticket in a heartbeat! I hope they eventually do some fun editions of the regular 3DS - I carry mine in my pocket everywhere so I'm much more of an XS rather than XL person when it comes to handhelds.

WOAH, that Animal Crossing 3DS is beautiful!

@KneehighPark @Wildvine53 I'm really hoping for that too - maybe tied into people's Miiverse accounts, since that's on the way for 3DS as well!

Great review Phil!! Glad to see this turned out so well, it sounds like an absolute blast! I love it when things like this make it across the ocean!

Wonderful news - I'd scoop this up in a heartbeat! =D

Great review Corbie!!

I'm loving this package! It just feels really well done, the book is fantastic, and I really appreciate Nintendo making sure all the games can be played with just the sideways Wiimote - no need to plug in the CC or GCN controller for Kirby 64!

Hoping you guys get this in Europe & down under ASAP!

Oh man, I'm really hoping this makes it into the wild, I've been looking forward to this game since I first saw that trailer! Fingers crossed =)

Beautiful!! These look like some of the best Layton settings yet!!

Done & dusted - I actually left the Nintendo Direct stream in the middle on Thursday to go pre-order! =D

Awesome races to everyone I just played with!! =D

Coming over to the battle room after we finish this race set!

@Aqueous nice!!

Time to redeem myself

Hopping on now! Here we go! =D

Haha, love the picture!

Woohoo!! What a day! =D

$300 sounds about right to me! I'm making my own white "Deluxe" bundle: basic 8gb/white console set, Nintendo Land, and the Gamepad cradle set. It's a weird move on Nintendo's part, splitting the colours up over the two configurations, but for me it's worth the extra ~$20 (forgoing the bundling savings on the Premium set) to get the colour I like.

With SD cards as cheap as they are these days, the 8gb doesn't seem much more restrictive than the 32gb, either. When you run out of room, pop 32 or 64 more gigs in there! =)

I'm getting excited for Miiverse's potential too - hope there're some community features so we can get together as a Nintendo Life tribe!

Woohoo! =D Here we go!!!

Love the art style, this looks great!

"Yeah... I know... I gotta BELIEVE!"

BTW - Rodney does some seriously fun artwork outside of the NanaOn-Sha games, it's well worth checking out! I've had various works of his as my computer desktop background for years!

As someone who's never played a Final Fantasy game in my life, I can vouch for this being a wonderful game whether you're a FF fan or not! Seriously addictive & well done!

Awesome detective work, very cool! =D

Thanks for the review!! Definitely looking forward to this when it hits this side of the Atlantic!

Just had an awesome set with @ThomasBW84, "Nicky", and "Ian" - great racing with all of you!! =D I'm giving my thumb a rest, but what a good time - thanks for all the races everybody!!

Great races everybody, this is a blast!! =D

@BenAV Are you in Oz?! Props for being here mate!! =D

Hey this is a blast!! =D Also, NintendoLife readers are awesome at Mario Kart.

@dirtyplastic haha I know that feel

@GazPlant I was just thinking the same thing! =D So excited for this!

Hey the Theatrhythm demo's a nice surprise! I love rhythm games but have never played Final Fantasy (!) so was hoping to get to try it out first!

@Ulala Hey yeah!! Sunglass-Starfy!! =D I'd forgotten about that! I loved Super Princess Peach, such a creative game. I keep hoping they'll do another!

Gross.

@atariman Oh, a 7 is a good score! Literally, it refers to "good" in our scoring policy. If you're excited about it I bet you'll enjoy it. Like I said, it doesn't last for too long, but is definitely fun while it does! =)

I'll echo the call for more female characters - Palutena's a great idea! - plus keep hoping that Starfy becomes a playable character at some point =)

I love this new trend of Nintendo Directs coming out so often! Looking forward to it! =)

What a wonderful read! Mario Kart really is a phenomenal series. Also, I'm just now realizing how fantastic the GameCube era was for innovation and risk-taking with Nintendo's central franchises: Double Dash, Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, StarFox Adventures, Metroid Prime, even Donkey Kong with Jungle Beat!

@rayword45 It took me one lazy day (playing off and on) to get to Mission 12, and some of the earlier levels took me way more tries than the later ones to clear! Personally speaking, I certainly felt like I got $2 worth of fun out of the game; but I know there are people who just prefer longer experiences, irrespective of price.

Hey what a nice surprise with Kirby's Star Stacker! Very cool =)

Brilliant feature and a great read Jamie - you've inspired me to break out Sunshine again and start from scratch! It really is a wonderful game, and the Isle Delfino visual style and water effects really hold up well today!

Ohhh man I would be in that line if I could!

Wow, what a great looking system!

@Smitherenez haha!
