Seems to me that I'm gonna have a very good Christmas this year. I hope Nintendo drops some bombs at E3. Gotta keep this momentum going.

I'm not crazy about they way the new Zelda and especially the new Yoshi game look. I actually prefer the visuals of the originals better.

I think they look great. A nice updated look for 3D.

Yep. Kotaku has some side by side comparisons...They're near identical. ..for a modern update.

![]() Really? I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but look how vibrant and crisp the original game's graphics are: ![]() LTTP2 looks very muddy and washed out in comparison. Another comparison for Yoshi's Island: ![]() The original game has a very beautiful hand drawn look to it. Whereas, the new one is kind of a smudgy mess: ![]() These games also suffer some of the same problems I have with the New Super Mario Bros. games in that they have a very sterile look and lack personality. I don't think this is a problem with Nintendo necesarily, I think it more lies in recreating 2D classics in a no-frills 3D style. It's frustrating to see Nintendo go down this NSMB road again with two other series when I know they're capable of making great looking 2D games. Having said that, I'm not making a snap judgement. I'm more than willing to wait for the final games to decide whether or not they're worth a purchase, but I was just kind of disappointed with what they showed of them today. And before anyone throws the "nostalgia goggles" accusation at me, let me say that I barely played any of the original Yoshi's Island, and honestly wasn't crazy what I did play of it. I just think that original game is insanely pretty and kind of a technical marvel to boot. |

I don't think they look sterile at all, it's just that you're not looking at 16 bit pixels anymore, instead you're seeing fully rendered 3D characters. Sure, there's a certain style to the SNES games, which I still enjoy to this day, but I can appreciate the newer take on it, too. I think both styles look good.

Second, I agree on NSMBW and NSMBU. They felt very sterile. I don't really get the same vibe with these two, though. |

Have you watched the actual 3D video of LTTP2? There's one on the eShop and it's pretty sweet. I too love old school "hand drawn" pixels...But I too also like what we're getting here. They look like a blend of both worlds to me. |

It feels kind of weird that I'm interested in playing Animal Crossing New Leaf.

DK Country is going to have some minor drawbacks, but still worthwhile, imo.

Meh, I don't know anyone that owns a 3DS and I hated the co-op in DKCR. I much preferred playing it solo.

Fire Emblem Awakening is really awesome. The amount of options and stuff is really great for a handheld Fire Emblem. Anyone into this, I recommend picking it up, but don't expect a mind-blowing story. Just great gameplay and terrific music and good characters.

I'm the opposite. I only played DKCR with a friends, preferred it that way. But that's the thing; since I never played it solo, I plan on doing that with the 3D version.

Everyone I played DKCR with was so bad at platformers that we could only complete a level if they hopped on DK's back and I took the reigns. That said, I'm really looking forward to getting this later this month. I'm gonna play the **** out of it.

Yeah. There are so many options that I feel overwhelmed. So much content and different ways to play. Wow!
