You've been over YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCE so many times before? You actually admit that it's down to the individual, yet still force your opinion on them?

Ok I'll have to get all three of those!

From what I remember reading things like soft toys, Mario Kart and Smash Bros keyrings, a couple of years ago they were giving away Cat Mario ears....

Yeah I captured two coin coffers and used them to level up a couple allies. Crazy bump in level! I just wonder about spending so long levelling up characters that I'll probably ditch in two worlds' time when better allies are available.

No, I loved Super Paper Mario and Sticker Star. Great games IMO.

They gave out loads of swag last year, and what about the Smash Bros Invitational tournament? And the treehouse stuff that anyone could walk up to and watch. There was also the two media briefings on Smash and Codename Steam, and they revealed Devil's Third exclusively to IGN. In terms of engagement and presence they were all over E3 last year, on the show floor and for the online audience.

I've just been using the highest level allies, one of each colour and using my Lv 1 and 2 allies to upgrade them slowly. So you'd suggest going back to world 1 or 2 and levelling up a few low ranked allies?

If last year was anything to go by, they engaged with E3 far more than the others. Joke (not for sale) amiibos of those three sounds exactly the sort of thing Nintendo would do.

Yeah I've been using them to level up stronger characters but it's not having a massive impact. I'm also trying not to level up anything with a cap of 25 or sometimes 50. Still loving the game itself though.

I love how you can start shooting when you're still flying through the air, adds so much energy to the combat

I'm not arguing against warping, it's a great feature. Just the responsiveness of it. I can understand why it takes a few seconds, but I'm furiously tapping and it just seems like it's not working. If you stop constantly looking for problems in everything, and instead just sit back, relax and actually enjoy the experience they present, you might actually have some fun and understand what the rest of us see in this game.

Amazing fun, loved every second of it. My only issue is how completely unresponsive warping to a team-mate's location is. I keep tapping but nothing happens and when it does warp me there was no visual cue that it'd accepted my input. Frustrating but other than that, it's gold!

Maybe start by telling us the kind of games you're into? Only you can judge what appeals to you.

It's a fantastic little game that's worth three times that much. Come on, you really can't go wrong over 3 quid anyway!

The Kirby soft toy is amazing, way bigger and better quality than I was expecting! [/grown man]

Splattering ink about is so unbelievably satisfying!

No nor my 3DS most of the time, finally fixed the problem last night. Something to do with my router's firewall or something. I could connect to the internet but connecting to other players was the problem.

Now that I've finally got my Wii U connection sorted I'll play 15mins at 12 before having to head out. Enjoying the novelty of online MK8 atm!

Took me an hour to sort my router settings to allow for a connection and now the online time is closed :-| doh. Anyway hope you all had fun

Sent you one as well H-O-T

I've been humming the theme tune all night

Already added I think under the name 'Paddy'. Wouldn't surprise me if they just kept this barebones and random match-ups though.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I'm herezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

1. Animal Crossing U - big focus on social features, heavy use of Miiverse and will tie in to the 3DS home designer software somehow 2. Starfox Universe - A big mix of vehicle types as well as the usual Arwing action. No on-land shooter sections. 3. amiiboLand - 3D platformer/party game utilising every amiibo. A celebration of Nintendo, like NintendoLand was. 4. Metroid U - trailer from Retro, 2016 release 5. Advance Wars 3DS
