Games "made in Mexico" are virtually identical to the Japanese-made games. I certainly cannot see or feel the difference in plastic or label. Examples are Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, DKC2, DKC3... "Assembled in Mexico" are the ones to avoid. They have black and white manuals, and...

The updated 3D effect alone is worth the purchase price. I have always used 3D, but it was a hassle to stay in the sweet spot on the XL. The new XL 3D works perfectly and I don't even have to think about it. It also helps immensely with games that use gyro controls. The other features are minor. I s...

This is essentially my first Smash Bros game. I did buy Brawl on release day, but I didn't really understand the game, and multiplayer was essentially broken those first couple weeks. It was taking literally 10 minutes to find a match. I didn't enjoy waiting all that time just for a two-minute match...

So is the new 3DS going to be far and away better than the old one for playing Smash Bros? I was just watching a video (Boogie2988) and he made a quick comment to the effect of "obviously if you're playing Smash Bros. and you don't have a C stick you're going to be at a disadvantage". The...

A quick web search will give you the answer.

I preordered ten of these. Then a few seconds later, I went ahead and preordered the other two. I figure I'll just buy them all and return the ones I don't want later.

I'd love Mario Kart 8 just to try out the single player, but screw that game for $60 but if I see it at $30 it's mine. I Just don't like the franchise much as I did GBA and before, it's turned into Mario Party on wheels, no skill involved, just luck and item abuse which isn't amusing to me in the l...

I found someone willing to order me the Animal Crossing poster set in exchange for my NES Remix code. That's a much better deal for me. It's just disappointing that Nintendo is offering stuff anyone could buy at any moment. I would rather have a unique relatively useless physical object than any dig...

I created a similar topic on Nintendo Age two years ago. m Here is the content for those who do not wish to visit that site: It seems that most people feel DKC2 is the best in the series. However, having played through all three games this year (for the first time), I believe DKC3 is the ove...

Staples in Canada did a clearance on their video game hardware. All items 50% off. I was out looking for a 2DS (found one $69) and the store had a Cosmo Black launch system for $79. I couldn't pass that up. The serial number is seriously low. I should have checked the firmware revision first, but I ...

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxdwe0c1LM1r1w5ayo1_250.gif I gave this game to myself for Christmas last year. I played up through the new year, but quit in mid-January. It just felt weird to be playing a game with no obvious goal, decorating my house, and doing busy work to earn money. Over the...
