The gamespot nintendo bias is silly. Gamespot doesn't have a system bias. People are so paranoid.

I don't even consider it as harsh, I mean harsh is like a 6. 8.5 is a great score. Its crazy how a good score in gaming means like 80+ and in every other median its like a 60+.

oh another mediocre handheld game for kids >.>

Should be more like a 4. This is why girls shouldn't review games. This is the one reviewing Dark Souls as well. Obviously she should be working with something else. Like for example being a principle in a high school. If she has the qualifications of course.themajormayor

Ignorant, juvenile and sexist.

I used to always look forward to new Mario platformers but after the New Super Mario Brothers craze, I just haven't cared as much...

Looks decent enough, but I don't think it will top Rayman Origins.

Of course it probably won't, but why does it need to be the best?

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] 3d land came out just last yearShinobishyguy

[QUOTE="whiskeystrike"]

I had no idea this was even out.

It is quite surprising that Gametrailers reviewed the game as it usual reviews games around their North American release dates.

No, only XL is out in EU, NSMB 2 launches August 17th

play it and try it yourself. SW exaggerates everything.....seriously

it's got a steep learning curve but once you get used to them they're really fast and accurate.Shinobishyguy

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] both 3d land and kid icarus imo. Hell Kid icarus is probably one of the best games nintendo has made in a long time.charizard1605

How long does that take though?

And you honestly felt it was as fresh as Galaxy 2... wut?

[QUOTE="Blabadon"] Thanks, how long is the game?charizard1605

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="Blabadon"] The complaints about Kid Icarus' controls are throwing me off from buying it. Blabadon

As for Icarus, it should take only the first chapter for you to get used to them. That's about ~20 minutes. The game takes time to ease you into the controls.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] They're all overstated. The controls are unusual, not difficult. Once you get used to them, they come intuitively and naturally to you.charizard1605

[QUOTE="Mario1331"] Listening to fanboys on SW for real information is a huge mistake.Blabadon

Depends. If you are the kind of person who plays through a game's campaign and then leave it alone you might get disappointed, I wasn't because what was there was fun, it's maybe a 15 hour game, not sure.

You get alot more out of it if you try to complete chapters on intensity level 9, it's a huge challenge.

The flight parts are outstanding in every aspect (hilarious meta dialogue, a ton of interesting characters, high pace, gorgeous visuals & effects, great music, overall tons of variety), however the on foot parts felt abit generic in comparison and you will have to get used to the unique control scheme.

I would say the stand is a must, otherwise it can get physically painful and you have to turn the 3D off. Some people see that as a negative but I love the stand that comes with the game.

So yeah you have to weigh all the ups and downs, it's hard to straight up recommend the game.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] except it was fresh dumbass :|Shinobishyguy

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]

[QUOTE="Blabadon"] nah, it felt like the 2D games with a 3D perspective. That's all.Blabadon

Ehh... Nintendo is just trying to stuff the bag full of their big IPs instead of loading them carefully, I feel. The 3DS is only two years old and already we have

MARIO KART SEVEN SUPER MARIO 3D OMG WORLD FOR THE 2ND TIMENEW SUPER MARIO 2D BUT ALSO 3D STIL OMGGGGG

It's like, who gives a big **** about these games anymore? I might be propelling my feelings here. Nintendo used to make these releases such a monumental thing. Mario Kart DS took its sweet time getting to the system. A lot of people consider it to be the best take of the series, too. None of these games are bad, but they aren't making the same kinds of cash green or critical impact. Just sort of being rushed out the door...

So much hate :(, atleast 3ds does have games.

This game does look awesome, like any other Mario game.

Anyway, I really want to buy a 3DS :/, maybe I will wait till end november or so.
