So basically it is not worth buying. Especially for just ten to 12 hours of play. No wonder the 3DS is doing so so in America.


Oh, it's definately worth buying if you're at all a fan of platformers or already have a 3DS. It just isn't that top tier of game that singlehandedly justifies a system's existence. In my opinion, no 3DS game has yet reached that tier.



Love and tolerate.

Many would argue that Mario Kart 7 or even Zelda was worth the admission alone.

And I argue otherwise. Mario Kart 7 has great multiplayer, but lacks single player oprions like customizable cups, missions, individual races, and Battle Mode options that would truly make it a great game anywhere and anytime. And Zelda, despite its stellar quality, is nevertheless a remake of an old game.

I love my 3DS. And I have really enjoyed those three Nintendo games and Resident Evil: Revelations. I just think that all four of those games, though great, fail to reach the "Must-Have" status.

This is just my opinion of course. Mario Kart and 3D Land are system sellers, so obviously I'm in the minority.



Love and tolerate.

People clock 20 to 30 hours in the game, and its not worth buying?

i don't understand.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

It was a very good game. I would have picked the first option until I saw the second. It suited me more so I chose it. I finished it with all levels complete, 3 stars in all of them. The only thing I didn't like was the big Bowser battles. They really didn't make sense for how you had to beat him.

Dude, you are the man! I haven't dedicated my time to getting all the star medals. The Bowser battles were good imo, it was to avoid getting hit by him (obvious ) and the battle ends when you take out a bridge (like in original mario bros)

They just didn't appeal to me. I hated trying to not get hit by him. Sometimes you just had to get hit by him to be able to get passed. In my opinion they were a little poorly designed. The rest of the levels were GREAT though! 

Part of the trick was to jump around him, one of those things that should be physically impossible but works in a Mario game, a good running jump that loops out over the magma and then lands back on the bridge behind him. Of course, this requires skill, so if you can afford it, it is often better to simply be hit by him.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

You never have to get hit by him. With the Tanooki Suit you can glide around him easily, if you don't have one you run under him when he jumps. Or if you get him to jump a little bit sidewards, then you can just run past him afterwards.

My god, these ignorant young people nowadays.

Unnecessary. You complain about this game too.

The difference is that my complaints are valid while yours come down to: "I have absolutely no clue on how to solve basic problems in video games, therefore this game is poorly designed."

Nice job skipping over the part where I said that the other levels were really well designed. It may be my poor gaming skills that have me always failing at the Bowser levels. None the less I said I still liked the game.

This is about complaints. You saying that levels were really well designed is not a complaint, thus it's not relevant.

Your your world of relevancy only your comments are relevant. It is relevant. You're acting as if I don't like the game because of poorly designed levels, which I don't think at all. Therefore your comment about relevancy of my comment is irrelevant.

Including me, three people have replied to you to give you advice on how to handle Bowser. I said that you are ignorant for not realizing how simple of a solution there is. It's not poor design.

I remember saying something about how it may be just my poor gaming skills. Thanks for reading that too Rol.

You said that after the fact. My previous post was just a recap of what happened before you started replying to me.

So... are we done here? Or should we continue to raise our post counts?

I like the avatar. Suites the new rules. Do you remember when Kim Possible was canceled?
