So I had a go on (my free Ambassador version of) Super Mario Bros. on my 3DS for the first time just now, and it is a hard game. I got game over at world 4-2, but I used the 1-2-to-4-1 shortcut. I don't remember how difficult the game is later on, but I did complete it on the SNES back in the day.

Soo, I finally bought a 3DS XL!!! Well, I bought two; one for my brother too. The largest electronics store chain in Norway offered the red 3DS XL one-day-only for NOK 880! NOK 880 is approximately EUR 111 or GBP 95! (I still had to pay shipping, NOK 49/EUR 6/GBP 5.50, but after careful calculations, it was still worth it... Fine, I'll admit it, I did not have to carefully weigh the pros and cons on this one.) So the decision was made, I retired my 3DS! Moving data and licenses went with no problem at all. One thing, though: To move the complimenatry The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords: Anniversary Edition for DSi, I was instructed to physically move the SD card from the 3DS to the 3DS XL. The thing is, I want to use the new 4GB SD card that came with my new 3DS XL, but all the data is on the 3DS-included 2GB card. Is there a way to avoid redownloading every single piece of software?

Mix Mario, Samus and Kirby, paint him blue, tone down the exploration, tune up the difficulty.

Is that really a drawing of that guy? I played SMB2 on my SNES, but that's over twenty years ago. I did not recognise him from that drawing.

Who? Tell me. I don't know. I assume it is Bowser. But why not something new?

Thank you! I never played SML2:6GC! I actually never played any Mario games on GameBoy at all! Neither on GameBoy Advance. Not before New Super Mario Bros on DS did I ever play Mario on the go. Is SML2:6GC good?

I really should know this, been playing Mario games since I was five; but I'll ask anyway. How is Mario and Wario related? Where did Wario come from? Could Wario be the villain? Maybe he took Bowser, his people, and all the flowers of Hyrule Kingdom? Mario and friends must then 'reflower' the land... I believe my joke was good, and not inappropriate at all. And with the open and pretty firm arguing going on on these boards, maybe that should be addressed first?

DKCR is so hard! Finding all the puzzle pieces takes a lot practise on some levels, and a lot of time! Hope me and my brother find the time to finish it before DKCTF arrives!

Yes. I do not understand why. I made a joke, maybe for the first time here, and it gets deleted. Imagine if everything not precisely on-topic and everyting defamatory on this board would get deleted...

Some time after Pikmin 3 was announced, I bought Pikmin and Pikmin 2 for Wii. I had not played the games since I bought them for my GameCube, so I wanted to play them again before Pikmin 3. Well, time has passed, many games have been bought and played, so I have not found much time for Pikmin. I am now halfway in Pikmin, and I hope I will find the time to also complete Pikmin 2 before Pikmin 3 arrives. Excited!

Echoing both of you...

Toki Tori 2

Do not wait. Get Pikmin 2!

Wind Waker sequel for a home console? Oh, yes! That would be a ten year old dream come true!

Me and my brother are using our evenings these days collecting puzzle pieces and KONG letters on Donkey Kong Country Returns, to prepare for Tropical Freeze. We completed all 'normal' levels in 2011, but could not find all the collectables and secret levels. We are both so excited for DKCTF!

Is December here yet? I am so excited!

Maybe this second Wii U thread is a nicer place.

Wii U: New Super Luigi U Pikmin 3 The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Terrible name, 'HD' means noting anymore. Call it The Great Sea Edition.) Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze Super Mario 3D Land DuckTales: Remastered Armillo 3DS: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

The updated Wii U VC Balloon Fight seems to have gotten its music speed restored to its original 60 Hz speed! Yay, Ninty!

Oooooooooooooooooh shiiiiit! It looks increeeedibleeeeeeeee!

Fifteen minutes!

I have gotten error code 121-0902 the last five minutes, trying to Yeah posts. Maybe Miiverse is overloaded because of the #NintendoRegionFree campaign?

I wonder if the new version of Balloon Fight will perform as poorly as Super Metroid. Nintendo, please bring the European VC library up to speed with the American! What could possibly be the reason NoE chooses not to?

So, it is Tuesday already. Where is that weekly press release? Postponed to cram Mega Man X in?

I was slightly disappointed the first three to four hours after the E3 Nintendo Direct. I liked most of what was shown, but only loved Mario Kart 8 and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze! Those two had me instantly. Watching the Developer Directs later last night did wonders for me! Super Mario 3D World grew on me, and now I am excited for it. Smash Bros has never really interested me – I own Melee, I played it two-three hours, and I never touched it again – but the new one sparked my interest after watching its Developer Direct! What more? Yes, I'm interested in X, even though I have never liked/'understood' JRPGs. The Wind Waker HD: Looks better than in January, and I look forward to play it again! Ugly 'HD' logo! Today, I feel the Nintendo Direct was good. It could have been 'great', had they included some of the content from the Developer Direct videos. I believe this will spark interest in the general public, and start selling Wii U consoles. I am loving my Wii U right now, and it will only get better!
